Glenwood went to bat first and made a score on a home run by Cunningham, the second baseman. Plattsmsuth made no score in their half and Glen wood also received a shut out in their second half and also in tho third, while the locals s:orcd one, making the score one to one at the end of the third in ning. In the first half of the fourth Glenwood filled the bases o:i a hit and several bunts, in which the ball seemed to take delight in evading the advances of Pitcher McCauley, who made heroic efforto to eet his claws around it. A few moro bunts brought in two scores, while a hit into McCauley's hands so surprised that worthy that he forgot to get it to first or third and Glenwood had a man on first and third. Then Catcher Wilkens made a 2-base hit, scoring the man on third, and hIso Cun ningham, who had stole second. Wil kens stole third and scored on a single, making the score 6 to 1 in favor of Glenwood. Plattsmouth was unable to score for the remainder of the game, though they had many good opportuni ties, with the bases full. Glenwood made another in the sixth, after which Williams went in for the locate and the best they could do ofT his delivery was one hit and three straight zeros. One of the features of the game was the excellent fielding of Jones, the vis itors' regular pitcher, who nabbed cv erything coming his way and even leaned way up on the fence and caught a one-hander which seemed an impossi bility. This gentleman also made some splendid hits, and if he pitches as well as he fields and bats, he is certainly a pingponger. Wilkens, the veteran, also played good ball and in fact the whole Glen wood bunch are fast ball players, muk ing but one error the entire game, and to say the Plattsmouth team was out of their class u not a thousand miles from the truth. Drocge, who made a hit in the third inning, was hurt while sliJing to third on a steal. He slid headfirst into the peg which serves to hold the ban in place. He received quite an injury on the top of his head. Deal, who took his place, scored on a hit by Smith. The crowd in attendance was smaller than usual and this fact materially aided in defeating the home team, the boys being greatly disheartened by the slimness of the turnout The following shows the score by in nings and also the line-up: Plattsmouth 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0-1 Glenwood 1 0 0 5 0 1 0 0 0-7 PLATTSMOUTH.

"Blessed are the pencemakes: for they shall be called the children of God", is the underlying sentiment of tho new religious novel by Hiram W. Hayes, author'of tho most successful book, Tsui Anthony, Christian", which has had such a phenomenal sale during the last 18 months. The new book will be called "The Peacemakers", and as was the case with author's first, it has been written for a purpose. That purpose is to dem onstrate that the way to bring about a condition of the universal peace is for each individual to think peace instead of war. As showing the result of this condition of thought, Mr. Hayes has woven a story of great dramatic inter est and unusual strength. While meta physical in its general character, the author has not hesitated to use physical conditions as they exist in the world to day to bring his characters into play and to create situations of the most dramatic. He has likewise shown great ingenuity in his history of the future, and has created political geography that would do credit even to Napoleon. The great beauty of the work to tho average reader is its novelty, as it deals with a subject never before handled in this manner. Many have at tempted to picture a world wide peace, but it has ever been brought about through conquest of some great mater ial power. The condition toward which Mr. Hayes leads his readers is that of a peace brought about by the develop ment of such right thinking on the part of the individual, as to make war an impossibility. The story is romantic in the extreme, but the characters are so noble and the ideals are so high, that one is lifted for the time above tho sordid ambitions of mankinds to that higher plane upon which the great Master metaphyician lived and demonstrated his understand ing by his mighty works. If the author has occasionally dipped into the material for bis situations, it has been for the purpose of illustration, for which he may well be pardoned. "The Peacemakers" promises to be come a speedy rival of Mr. Hayes first and successful work. The Rcid Pub lishing Company of Boston is the pub-ilsser. About 190 manufacturers of farm ma chinery will be represented in that de partment at the State Fair, September 6 10, and the farmer who contemplates the purchase of a new machine will be amply repaid by carefully looking over and comparing the different makes, shown by experts in charge, making it possible to get exactly the machine best suited to his needs.

The Home of liar Manhattan Shirts lit dottle i zfiticzefl amMINlaMMHBMMfvaBMHMSjaMaaaHPHMH Make War on Prairie Dogs Government will Continue Ex pirments for Extermination of little Pests. Missola, Aug. 28 -The government's work in poisoning prairie dogs on in fested stock ranges in this National Forest district has had results this year which forest officers have decided warrant its continuance in 1910. For two years systematic efforts upon an extensive scale have been mado by the Forest Servico in co-operation with the stockmen, to rid tho National Forest Ranges in Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico of these pests, but this work was not undertaken in the Northwest until the spring of 1909. Eastern Montana and the Dakotas seem to be the worst infested portion of this District. Tho National Forest areas of these regions are comparative ly small, but in some instances the col onies or towns of these animals cover an area of several hundred acres and the native forage plants have been greatly in jurcd, while some range areas outside the forests have been practi-. cally devastated. In the spring of the present year small allotments of funds were made to the supervisors of the Custer and Sioux National Forests for the purpose of starting this work. The funds were for the most part expended in purchasing strychnine and other drugs used in preparing grain for bait, while the grain was furnished by the settlers. The poisoned grain, usually wheat, was distributed at the holes throughout the dog towns, both by forest officers and by forest users. More time was consumed in perfecting the plan of co operation than had been anticipated and much of the bait was put out too late to obtain the best results, though several large dog towns were entirely cleaned up. Experience has proven that the grain should be put out very early in the spring-in fact, just as soon as the animals appear from thir winter quarters-for the best results may be obtained before green grass becomes available. Henry Hirz the prominent farmer and stock raiser of Plattsmouth precinct is in town on business today. Henry in tends to exhibit his fine Percheron Stallion and several head of Galloway cattle at tho stock show next Wednes day. He is making an effort to have his customers bring in colts and offers five dollars off on next spring's service to the suckling colt winning the red ribbon. The colt's mother of course must have been bred to his fine Perch eron stallion. Mrs. John Lutz and Miss Amanda Sattler returned Friday from a visit of several weeks at Pckin, 111.
