Locals Win 12 liming Game.
Tho mo3t interesting game of ball
played on the local diamond this sea
son occurred yesterday afternoon
when the North Platte team defeated
the strong Ogalalla team by a score of
flvo to four in a game that run twelvo
innings. After the sixth inning with
the score a tie, both teams had men
on bases each inning, but the pitchers,
aided by good team work, managed to
get out of the hole. The winning run
in the twelfth came to North Platte
through a three bagger by Grimm who
scored on a. single made by Holliday.
North Platte scored once in the sec
ond, once! in the fourth, twice in the
sixth and once In the- twelfth. "Oga
lalla made two scores' n the 'second,
one in tho fourth and one In the sixth.
Vance who was on the mound for
North Platte gave eight hits, while
Sheffield was touched for ten safe
ties. While a number of errors were
made, they were not costly, and the
game from start to finish was pne
which kept the 500 spectators keyed
up to a high tension.

Business men say that visitors to
tho county fair did not leave much
money in town. Even tho saloons,
which aro usually heavily patronized
on such occasions, did not do much
more than tho average business. Tho
fact Is, money Is not plentiful these
days, and when a visitor comes to
town he spends his money for only the
real necessities.
Local and Personal
Physical Energy.
Perhaps you do not Uuow It. but
when you wall: u distance of ten miles
you expend enough torce, could it be
all collected, to rulw MX) torn ono foot
from the ground Oi this enoimous
quantity of energy the legs are lespon
slblo for ISO ton, tho heart for 100,
tho lungs for twenty-two and the bn'k
of the reui.Undee.ls wasted In the lie
given offrom the body.
In son ere athletic competitions, such
as running, rowing and boxing, you
must he in such a condition as to be
able to "exert, by your limbs nlone.
each minute as ranch force as would
lift 5.000 pounds ono foot above the
ground.
When a powerful man works for
tweuty-four hours with all his might
tho energy he expends is equal to lift
ing a third class cruiser, nnd during
his life he dissipates enough power
to carry his body at death to the sun.
These statements may at tlrst sight
seem extraordinary, but will not seem
so when , It is remembered that two
ounces of bread contains tho potential
energy of ISO tons. Pearson's.
