She stood the trip remarkably well, and it is hoped that she will continue to improve in health. If we can only coax Charley Crewes, the auctioneer, to stand near the umpire next Saturday and call out in that soft, coaxing voice of his the strikes and balls it would be quite an addition to the game.

The Lecompton-Dover Game In reaching out to such a distance from home as Lecompton for a team to play on Saturday, August 2, the Dover management is actuated only by the best of motives. They are endeavoring to give the people of Dover and snrrounding country the very best material in the way of teams that have a reputation for good playing as it is possible to get. It is an undisputed fact that the teams that have been lined up a-gainst Dovers team have always with but one or two exceptions been of Jhe best amateur description. It is to the credit of the home team in the highest sense, that with the limited chances that they have had to practice and perfect themselves in the intricasies of the game, that they have wrested the victory from their opponents as many times as they have donq in the last three years, and at no time has the visiting team been allowed to forget for one moment that they were playing baseball for business.

The game last Saturday was proof enough that the patrons sf Dover Ball Park will not be satisfied with anything but the best. Only one team can possibly win in a game, and a hard fought game with' a good team, even if our own boys go down in defeat is far more preferable than a victory won without any effort So let us back up the management in their efforts to give us good games, and root nobly for our home boys not forgetting however the civility and courtesy due to our visitors, which we are sorry to notice is sadly violated once in a while. James G. Tomson of Wakarusa called on his brother, John R. Tomson last Friday.

His many old friends are always glad to give him a royal greeting when he comes to Dover. The Stork passed over Dover about 3 oclock last Thursday morning and stopped next door to Dr. Bradley at the home of T. L. Best.

Edward Beach, son of J. M. Beach, was taken to St. Francis hospital at Topeka Sunday last to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The operation was performed on Monday morning at 8:30 by Dr.

Silverthorn of Maple Hill. He stood the operation remarkably well and at 4 Monday afternoon was resting easy. The prospects for his recovery are good and his parents and wife are feeling much encouraged. It is thought this operation will result in a better condition of health than he has enjoyed for some years. It is to be hoped that their expectations will be fully realized.

I A Veteran Catcher. Those who saw the game at Dover last Saturday with the Independence team were treated to quite a surprise. Our old friend Frank Mossman' "was generally supposed to have quit playing active baseball, but the visting team being weak in the catchers position owing to injury received by their regular catcher, Frapk volunteered to play that important position, and did it to such good purpose that the four scores to the innings that Dover had started out with experienced a sudden jar and only one solitary run was added to the score for the balance of the game. Fears were entertained that the beautiful white enamel on the top of Franks head might be injured by exposure to the sun, but Frank didnt seem to worry a bit about it. The work of this old veteran of the diamond was fine and added greatly to the interest of the game.

Lightning Freaks. During the rain storm of last Friday a tree standing at the northeast corner of F. D. Duttons blacksmith shop, on the M. Vicory property, was struck by lightning and a large limb torn off, tearing it into splinters and throwing them quite a distance.

A chicken that had taken shelter near the tree was killed by the schock. A tree just east of Joe Tomsons house was also struck. Out of Water. Baseball. The ball game last Saturday between Dover and Independence was won by Dover with a score of 9 to 0.

The Independence boys played well but were very much handicapped by their catcher having injured his shoulder recently, after trying to catch a few innings, Frank Mossman was substituted. This veteran of the diamond demonstrated that he had not forgotten the tricks of the game and gave a fine exhibition of work behind the bat. There was a very good attendance, The friends of the visiting team were there in force and showed loyalty to their own boys. The game next Saturday between Dover and Highland Park should draw quite a large crowd. Chailie Crews is manager of the Park team, and says, he has a good one.

The Snokomo Ball Game Dover lost the game with St. Marys at the Snokomo picnic last Friday. The St. Marys team is semi-professional and our boys were up against a hard proposition. The score was 7 to 2.

Those who went from Dover say it was a good game, although played on ground unfit for base ball playing. The Snokomo people treated the boys well and they are well satisfied with the result. They knew they werei up against a strong team before I they started, but our boys have grit and are willing to meet good teams any time. The picnic was under the direction of the local lodge, M. W.

A. and well conducted. Everybody and his neighbor seemed to be there. Getting Em in Shape for Tough Feed. Dr.

Skaggs made his semimonthly visit to Dover last Wednesday and Thursday. His officq was filled with patients from the time of his arrival until his departure. The Doctor is preparing his patients for the tough meat that may be forced on the market this fall. It will not be the Doctors fault if all kinds of food for the human is not well masticated, including the comidg the coming the church dinners. Baptist Sunday School Rally Day.

Kansas, at 7:45 A. M. July 14, 1913, after a brief illness. She was a good wife and an unusually devoted mother; she joined the Baptist Church at Dover, Kansas, shortly before her marriage, and throughout her sickness expressed her unfailing faith in the Savior, and went to her long home without fear. She leavers three little children, a kind husband, a mother, two sisters, three brothers, and a host of loving friends to mourn her loss in what would seem to be an untimely death.

The funeral was held from the Methodist Church in Auburn Tuesday, July 15, and as a tribute to her loving memory the assemblage would have quite comfortably filled the church twice. The service was in charge of the resident pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Stanley who took for a text, Rev.

14: 13, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their labors, and their works do follow them. The interment was in her home cemetery it Dover, Kansas. Life over now: as sinks an autumn sun, Serene and splendid through the closing day, Her burdens borne, her labors fitly done, So passed this faithful soul from earth away. McComb-Carlat.
