Over confidence in the Norton players caused a part of our papers last week to state that the game of ball between Norton and Devizes at the fair ground last Thursday resulted in a victory for Norton. About the fourth inning the dolefal news came trom the game that Norton was getting it where the chicken got the axe, and the obnox: ious local was expunged from our columns.

Score at end of game, 15 to 7 in favor of Devizes. After the game a crowd assembled on State street and engaged in a social game of tar-jolting, but were interrupted by the marshal after a few noses had been artistically punened. There was no beer. There was no prize fight. was no slugging match.

Jack Latham was sent after him and caught him somewhere near the Nebraska line and brought him back to Norton, where he now languishes in the county bastile, where he will remain until the next term of court in default of proper bail, This is the the same boy who, when his father drew his money from the bank here last winter and took it home, stole part of the money and skipped, but returned later.

GARRITY, Chairman, L. BOWERS, Secretary. FATS VS. LEANS, A Fat Score, in Favor of the Leans, On Tuesday afternoon the fats and leans played a game of ball at the grove, to which an admission fee of 25 cents was charged, proceeds to be given to Hal. Harmonson, A good crowd was in attendance, and about forty dollars raised, The game was immense from the start.

Jim Miller was captain of the leans, and L. H. Thompson ruled over the fats in great style, while Jesse Wright filled the dangerous position of umpire to perfection, The fats went to bat first and piled up a goose egg to their credit. The leans then took a turn and captured two tallies. In the second inning the fats got another egg and the leans replied with one tally, Third inning.

-The fats fought nobly. Three tallies went to their credit, then Simpson made a stout run from second to home plate, but as the third man was out before he got around, the tally did not count. The exertion proved too much for the Bishop, and he soon pulled for town. The leans then went to bat and promptly added an egg to their credit. The way they fanned the air caused tears to course down the cheeks of Captain Miller.

The fourth inning was a surprise to the fats. Drummond got in the box for the leans, and with a few compound curves fanned the fats to the tune of a goose egg. The leans then took the bat and swiped Capt. Thompson four tullies, causing a looks of surprise to o'erspread his classic features, Fifth inning. -Fats to bat, Norm Johnson tallied.

Jack Pearl mopped up a home rup, while away out in center field was Billy Shoemaker, of the leans, vainly trying to coax a fly ball out his way, but they wouldn't come and Billy lost his opportunity for making a reputation as a fielder. The fats scored four tallies this inning and wore followed by the leans with nine, two of which went to Bruner. In the sixth the fats added another egg to their already large stock, and the leans spread six tallies on the score sheet. This caused Bert Waters to look anxious. The seyenth resulted in 3 scores for the fats and 2 for the leans, In the eighth the fats labored hard and pounded out another goose egg, and the leans responded with one tally.

In the ninth the fats resolved to do or die, and knocked out 7 tallies, but the leans were too far ahpad and gould not be caught, Score, 24 to 18 in favor of the leans. Buphlen's Arnica Salve.

THE FAULT OF THE WORKMEN, Below is an article, from the Chicago Inter Ocean, which should be read and digested, It is truthful. It is philosophical, It accords with common sense.

It reveals the light, of experience, It is unanswerable. We beg the attention of those workingmen who are wise enough to disbelieve in the talk about a "capitalistic press." We also beg the attention of those who are silly enough to give credence to it. Except that it takes a great deal of money to establish and maintain a newspaper, there is nothing capitalistic about the press, There cannot be, A newspaper that should depend on the support of the rich would perish quickly, The profits of a newspaper come from its circulation and its sale of space to advertisers. Both these depend largely on the size of the wage fund, When workmen are getting good pay retailers make large sales, and when they make large sales they buy advertising space more liberally. It is of great importance to a newspaper that work should be plentiful and wages high.

It is the necessary policy of a newspaper to advocate liberal compensation. These preliminaries are made by way of emphasis to the disinter- ested advice that we now offer to workmen, and especially to workmen in mines. Half a loaf, even a quarter, is better than no bread. The wages of labor are low because of uncertainty as to future conditions of tariff and currency. While conditions are uncertain it is wise to make the best of them--the best will not be good.

The theory of the striking miners is that if they hold out long the mine owners will be forced to give them high wages because when the supply of coal now above ground is exhausted, necessity, as they argue, will compel the owners to replenish at any cost. The workmen forget that "you cannot squeeze blood out of a turnip." If the mite owners be forced to pay high wages they TR. F. Garrity, Dealer 111 Hardware AND Meal Gasoline Stoves.

You will make a mistake if you do not examine them before buying. BECHTOL, Agent, Norton, Kansas, must sell at high prices, and under present conditions large sales cannot be made at high prices, fligh prices would entail a greatly reduc: ed consumption.

The people cannot now buy high priced coal in such quantities as are usual to them when times are good. So that were the miners success. ful in compelling a higher wage price per ton, they would lose on the shrinkage of tons produced as much as they would gain by the in; crease of wages per ton. When times are as they were in 1891 and 1892 wages and consumption of the things produced by wage: earners will be as great as they then were--not before then. Moreover, every day that a mill, a factory or a railway either is idle for want of coal or runs short time for lack of it, or increases the price of freight or goods on account of the dearness of it, is a day that brings increase of the hardships that the people now endure, Every circumstance that throws one more man out of work, or that shortens working time of one man, or that adds to the price of a necessity of life, is on aggrayation of present evils, In ordinary times the enhancement of the selling price of material is not necessarily an evil, for it may be accompanied by a corresponding increase of purchasing power, But until political changes occur there is no probability of increase of purchasing power.

The workmen are to blame when they aggravate evil conditions by introducing new eir cumstances of evil. The worst of it is that while the strikers starve and the people suffor a few idle "leaders of labor? enjoy unwonted prosperity, It is not the handful of fellows that advise and order strikes that suffer, It is "we, the people," of whom the strikers are a considerable part, National Educational Assosiation, Asbury Park, New Jersey, July 10-13, For this meeting the Burlington will sell tickets at one fare for the round trip, plus two dollars, Tickets on sale July 6 and 7 with final return limit July 30, For the following occasions the Burlington will sell round trip tickets to Denver at one fare for the round trip: Annual convention National Republican League, June 26-28.
