Valentine and Co. "I" of the
25th Infantry played a close game
of ball here Sunday up to the last
two innings when the fort team
ran in six talleys. The score by
innings is as follows.
Valentine..O 0500001 0 6
Fort 1 0012102 4 11
Valentine boys ought to get to
gether and organize a good team
and practice. Several of our best
players will grow tired trying to
hold up the reputation of the town.
We have a number of good play
ers that TUB DEMOCRAT will vouch
for , which , if gotten together , are
invincible and can beat any team
in western Nebraska. Get .to
gether boys and organize with two
or three extras for special oc
casions.
We made a trip to Merriman
Monday night and met Frank
Peacock , Peter Jerman , Albert
Lamb , P. Sullivan , Herb Green ,
Dr. McDowell , Capt. Fuller , B.E.
White , Z. T. Davis and several
others. They all appeared cheer
ful and progressive. On our way
home we stopped at Cody and met
W. H. Carter and his father , Hen
ry Carter. The latter was not
feeling very well the past few
days , but we suppose the bad
weather was the cause. W. H.
had not fully recovered from be
ing kicked by a horse some time
ago. At Nenzel , Ed Satterlee met
the train and hopped off again be
fore we could speak twice. At
Crookston , Wm. Cavanaugh and
Max [ E. Viertel met . .the train ,
which we learn , is a habit they
lave when not otherwise engaged.
We notice improvements all along
through the country and the grass
is growing nicely.
Last Friday the Gordon base
ball nine , accompanied by their
oachers , came down to play Val-
; ntine. A few showers.of . rain
the night previous and threatening
weather during the fore part of
the day made it appear necessary
to prepare with umbrellas or rain
coats , or stay at home under shelter.
The crowd gathered for the game
and sallied boldly forth , though it
had begun to sprinkle. The
changing of the wind to the
northeast , followed by heavy show
ers , drove the crowd back to town
by twos and threes. Charley
Sparks led the remnants in safe
retreat to a better shelter than
umbrellas. The Gordon boys were
induced to stay over and play the
game Saturday afternoon which
resulted in a pretty even game ,
though Valentine had the best of
it up to the last inning. Through
some mistake or blunder of the
score-keepers they were in doubt
as to whether the score stood 10 to
10 or 10 to 11 in favor of Gordon ,
or whether Valentine put out four
of the Gordon boys in their last
inning. The score-keepers seem
to have been asleep or excited or
there were four outs. We are in-
*
clined to believe from what we
can learn that the game suould be
played over again to decide , since
there seems to be several questions
as to the superiority of the Gord
on team , after allowing everything
they claim. Fred Mills , Uliah
Powell , Henry Rye , Messrs. Hill
and Griswold and the professor of
Gordon's school came down with
the Gordon boys to witness the
game and from , the interest shown
they evidently believe their boys
are winners.

The
cker
You have heard that some foods furnish fat ,
other foods make muscle , and still others are
tissue building and heat forming.
You know that most foods have one or more
of these elements , but do you know that no
food contains them all in such properly balanced
proportions as a good soda cracker ?
The United States Government report shows
that soda crackers contain less water , are richer
in the muscle and fat elements , and have a much
higher per cent of the tissue building and heat
forming properties than any article of food made
from flour.
That is why Uneeda BfiSCUit should
form an important part of every meal. They
represent the superlative of the soda cracker , all
their goodness and nourishment being brought
from the oven to you in a package that is proof
against air , moisture and dust the price being
too small to mention.

The E l C of n. "Windstorm.
A curious example of hov * ' sharply

fined is reported by the captain of a
bark. TVhen off Valparaiso , the cap
tain says , \vhirhvind came along and
passed over the stern of the vessel. A
great sea accompanied the "wind , and
every sail and movable thing on the
after part of the ship was carried
away. The forward part of tlic vessel
was untouched by the storm , -which
passed away in the distance , leaving a
train of foam in its -wake.
