Playing together Is as as much a purl of life as working together, and If the churches will do their part toward the encouragement of wholesome, en joyable recreation, much good might result. 9 About as near as anyone can tell, the score wus 13 to 11 In favor of the Methodists.

They are all good men. They freely give their time and their services in this work without salary or pay and I am sure that you will agree with roc that they are earnestly devoted to their ohosen profession. Only one of them was ever known to backslide and that was done in your prcseuce this after noon. Mow these brothers are doing a wonderful missionary work. They frequently have scores of people In the congregation that never darken the doors of a church building. They are the only aggregation of the kind on the continent of America and they arc deserving of our gener ous support. It is only fair that we pay a part of their carfare and hotel expenses and I theroforo trust that as the generals pass down the aisles that vou will each and every one give of your plenty and If every one drops In a penny there will be enough and to spare". Methodists Take a Fall Out of Congregational time for this issue. He drat became generally known to the people of this county in connect ion with the formation of tho Farmer's Alliance in 181)0 Ho was a man of strlklug figure, a giant in physique, and of more than ordinary mental and moral worth. Had he been a fluent speaker of English he would easily have been one of the most influential men of the county. Of commanding presence, genial manners, and uncom promising honesty, he lacked only the power of facile utterance to compel attention. He servod tho public as a member of the board of County Commissioners. He was the candidate of his party for county treasurer and also for the legis lature. Hud ho keen uue. of . the earlier settlers of the county, his deficiency in our language would probably have been overcome and it is difficult to determine the consideration ho would have achieved. As it was, he will be remembered with kindness by all who knew him, and those who knew him lest trusted him most. He was burled from his home Thursday at noon. Mr. dcrlach was born in Germany, Feb. 8, 1851. He leaves a wife and several childreirto mourn his departure. Mr. A. 1) Itunticy, who Is asking the people for nomination at the coming pi Unary for county judge, came, to Ne braska with his parents and settled in Oak Creek picciuct of tliih county in 1872 and has been a resident of the county ever sluce From 1881 to 18S5 he attended schoof at Hastings, and the two years following he studied law in the olllce of A. M. Walters of this place, and In 180 wus admitted to the kar,jiud since then has been success fully, pnictlciiig in that profession. May lt, 189C, he was olected village clerk and attorney, which position he has sluce continuously held. In the fall of that year he was elected county attorney and two years luter was elect ed to a seeoud term, serving in an etllclent manner. In IB'.M! ho was elected u member of the board of education of this district and three years later whs chosen its secretary. He is still ou tho board as Its secre tary. These are only a few facts we men tion to permit you to become acquaint ed with Mr. Hanney and to know what ho has been doing He does not talk much about himself or what he has done; but his friends, who are num bered by all who hnvo the pleasure of his acquaintance, will tell you that he Is a man of conservative and keen judgment, hnnist in his dealings with his fellow men, a capable attorney, and a man in whom they do not hesi tate to place the ulmo-t confidence The voters ou the ilemociutic and peoples independent parties are asked to vote for Mr. Ilituuey for county judge on August loth.

Wright solicits the support of the fusion voters nt the primary. The long expected game between the Methodists audCongregatlonullsts drew an interested multitude to the base ball grounds Tuesday afternoon. The grandstand and bleachers were thronged with unaccustomed faces. The rival churches were out in full force. Kev. A. A. Crcssman and C. L. Cotting eamo early uud occupied posi tions of prominence, where their wav ing hats and words of cheer would be most offective for the nine heroes who battled for Congregational victory. The ladles of the M. E. Aid society eave an unwonted seduteness to the grandstand, The Methodists went Hist to bat Kev. Tompkins picked out a vacnut spot beyond the center fielder, rubbed his hands in the dust, and swung his bat with u vigor like that of Ty Cobb, Two hundred sighs fell upon thu summer breeze from tho ladie.i of his flock. Three mighty strokes had cut great geshes in the air, but the ball, instead of soaring Into the distant cloud, reposed in the catcher's mitt. l'rof. Morltz extended his long frame to meet the approaching missile. Had bis bat been as wide as a tennis rac quet, there is little doubt that some time.duringrthe game the ball would have implgued upon it and rebounded Into space. ,. Fred Turnure modest, unassuming grasped the stick, and tbe ball hit bin club for a safe one. Fred proved to be the star hitter for the M. E.'s. Ed Overlng, arrayed in a jaunty suit of white and looking bcuigntly through his spectacles, saw the ball just In time to hit It one of his sledge hammer blows. He also saw every ball thrown to him at second base, and hold them. He made double plays worthy of a major loaguer. Jim Mitchell hit the ball several times, and hud he uot stopped to watch it fielded would have reached first base more often, Mr. Mitchell oould sustain a reduction of twenty pounds and be in better form for the diamond.

Two years ago when there was no prospect of defeating Mr. floss for his second term, at tho requost of leading anti-republicans, 1 consented to the use of my noroe as n candidate, solely to assist in putting a complete ticket in the Held, and thus making possible the election of one or more of your other candidates. 1 believe that my action then was helpful iu preserv ing our parties in a vigorous and efficient condition during the cam paign, and In keeping them strong and courageous to contend with some show of success in the coming election. While I do not claim that the party Is under any obligation to me, I yet feel that I should be given the chance to engage in a successful contest. When 1 ran against Mr. Ross two years ago he was asking for a second term. I realized it was a hopeless race but consented to run for the good of our parties and in order to 1111 out otrr- ticket. Itoss defeated mo by a small margin. Having made the race against Ross when he was askiug for a second term I think 1 am entitled to imiko the race against him when hu Is now asking for a third term in thu face of strong public (ontiuieut against "third tenners."
