While Ellsworth has not yet improved her position in the Central Kansas league race during the past week, yet there is still a chance to finish at the top, and if not there, very close to the top. But to do this she will have to play good, consistent ball the next two weeks. Last Thursday the game on the home grounds went to Newton, 2 to 0. Friday Salina came for two games. They won the first, 2 to 1, and lost the second, 3 to 2.

This week Ellsworth played three games in Salina. Monday Salina won, 5 to 1. Tuesday's game is still in dispute. With the score 1 to 1 and Sommers on first Watson hit a fast grounder into right field. He went to third on the hit.

and Sommers scored, making the score 2 to 1 in favor of Ellsworth. Ludes, a Salina man who was umpiring, claimed the ball was interfered with by spectators who were out on tne ball field on fair ground, and sent Watson back to second, and Sommers to third. Captain Bond protested, and played out the game under protest. In the tenth inning Salina got another run, making the score 2 to 1 in favor of them. The statement of the play upon which the protest was made has been drawn up by the captains of both teams, and these are to be submitted to Doc Shively of the American association for his decision.

Yesterday Ellsworth won, 2 to 1. The feature of the game yesterday was a home run in the eighth by Williams. The boys came home last night. They are in good spirits, and claim they will win from McPherson both this afternoon and tomorrow. If they do we will be pretty close to the top.

Next Monday and Tuesday we play Little River on the home grounds. Wednesday and Thursday we play at Minneapolis. Friday and Saturday we play at home with Minneapolis. Standing of the Teams. Per.

The returns from Tuesday's primary election are very slow in getting headquarters, but the indications are that nearly all the "machine" men of the republican party were defeated. Stubbs and Bristow won by large majorities over Leland and Long.

Reeder is thought to have the Sixth congressional nominotion by a small majority. Calderhead is said to be nominated in the Fifth. There was not much of a fight in the democratic party on the state ticket, and what there was is overshadowed by the fight in the republican ranks, so that the dispatches give but little information regarding who nas won for those offices on the democatic ticket for which there wTas more than one candidate. Next week we will be able to give complete returns on both tickets. In the county the democratic ticket this fall will be Krebs for county clerk; S.

E. Bartlett for connty attorney; L. H. Westerman for probate judge; Rear-don for sheriff, Hagy for superintendent; Larkin for surveyor; R. B.

Krebs for coroner; Tobias Doubrava for commissioner from the third district, and G. O. Wagner from the second district. The county republican ticket will probably be Earl Flanders for county clerk; J. Pressney for treasurer; T.

R. Wilson for register of deeds; Dallas Grover for county attorney; J. A. Chase for probate judge; J. H.

Hutchins for sheriff; J. M. Wilson for clerk of the court; George Levitt for cnmmissioner from the third district, and D. A. Burns for commissioner from the second district.

L. H. Seaver is the republican nominee for representative, and W. F. Seka-vec the democratic nominee.

WHAT ABOUT SHERMAN? We are told by the Chicago Record-Herald that: "The Kansas City Star argues that it would be a good thing if a democratic congress wTere elected to serve with Taft as president. It says that the country knows full well that if Taft were elected president and Cannon remained in the speaker's chair the boss of the house would obstruct progressive policies under the new administration just as he did the last session of congress. The dominant party is under -suspicion because of the reactionary strength in that session and in the republican convention." And what would James S. Sherman now and for years Cannon's right hand man in the honse be doing in the presidency of the senate? Is it not reasonable to believe that Mr. Sherman wouln do a little obstructing on his own account when it came to "progressive policies?" Assuredly the republican leader is hard put for a persuasive plea to the rank and file of his party.

Bryan's Commoner. An Infrequent Traveler. Mrs. Sylvia Merriman, who is 72 years old, took her second ride in a railroad coach the other day her first ride she took 42 years ago. Her journey was to Ansonia, where she came to visit her niece.

She had her first street car ride when, with Mrs. Amelia Thompson, aged 67 years; Mrs. Amanda Bishop, aged 66 years, and Mrs. Rose Andrews, aged 70 years, all of them relatives, she went to Cheshire, the village of her birth. N.

Y. Times. An American Venice. It is a surprising thing to know that New York city, although not known as the American Venice. contains more islands than any city but Venice, for within its boundaries are 31 separate and distinct islands, most of which, encircled by deep water, will afford unlimited shipping accommodations and dockage for the commerce of future years, to reach undreamed-of proportions, judging froru-frilist and present growth.

The "Giant City New York," National Magazine. our Pressnev. George Seitz and D. J. Santry started in Mr.

Paull's Northern touring car for the northern part of the state to visit their old friend, Mr. J. A. Wiggin, who resides just outside of the town of Oketo, Marshall county. Mr.

Wiggin, most of our readers will remember, was for many years a resident of Ellsworth, and one of our most prominent and popular citizens. He served the city and county at various times in an official capacity, filling the office of county treasurer for several terms in a most creditable man ner. He came to Ellsworth in the early days, and helped to make Ellsworth what it was at the time he left. After leaving Ellsworth he engaged in the hotel business for a time in Topeka, and later in Denver. For some years now he has been living on his farm near Oketo, aud to this place his old friends went to see him last Snnday.

The trip over, something like a hundred miles, was made in good time. Mr. Wiggin had quite a reputation in Ellsworth as a practical joker, as has also Mr. Pressney, so on the way over many plans were discussed as to how the party would get the better of Mr. Wiggin.

He, however, from what we hear, proved equal to all emergencies, and came off with flying colors. After welcoming the party, he brought out some fine old cigars. The party made themselves comfortable on the porch of his home, and settled them selves for a good smoke. The cigars, however, after being smoked a few minutes, all exploded except the one Mr. Wiggin happened to be smoking.

And this was only one of the many surprises he gave his friends while they were with him. The party spent the evening and Sunday night with Mr. Wiggin, return ing home Monday. They are enthusi astic in their praise of the way in which they were entertained by Mr. and Mrs.

Wiggin and daughter. Mr. Wiggin's farm consists of eighty acres of as fine land as ever lay out of doors. On this is a fine home with modern conveniences, and many large outbuildings. Sixty acres of the land are in alfalfa.

Mr. Wiggin has this al falfa land taken care the alfalfa cut and stacked or housed for a share of the crop. He devotes his time to his hogs, of which he feeds, fattens and markets a large number each year. Mr. and Mrs.

Wiggin wished to be undly remembered to their many old- time Ellsworth friends. Delenka Miller. Miss Millie Delenka, of Wilson, and Mr. Irvin Miller, of Holyrood, were united in marriage yesterday morning, August 5, 1908, at 10 o'clock at the court house, this city, by Probate Judge Chase. Death of Otto Shade.

Otto Shade died Monday, August 3, 1908, at 5 o'clock, a. in Topeka, where he had lived for a number of years. The remains were brought to Ellsworth Monday night, and funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the M. E. church, Rev.

W. Bates, pastor of the church, con ducted the services. Burial was in the Ellsworth cemetery. A brother, Mr. Fred Shade, and a sister, Miss Lizzie, both of this city, survive.

Attempt to Blow Up Safe. Last Friday night an attempt was made to blow open a safe in Solomon. Parties suspected of making the attempt were arrested Saturday in Solomon, and are said to be Mike Brush and Harry Murray, the two men who were releas ed from jail here Friday morning. Our readers will recall these parties. They were arrested here with dynamite caps, nitro-glycerine and other burglar ma terials and tools on their person.

The attempt at Solomon failed, but their is little question but that the parties ar rested are the ones wanted. Death of Ernest Kalzenmeier. Ernest Katzenmeier died at his home near Oakley Tuesday, August 4, after an illness of only a little more than a week. His mother, who resides south west of Ellsworth in Black Wolf town ship, went out to nurse him last Friday. His death was due to a fever.

The remains were brought to Ellsworth yesterday morning, and funeral services were held this morning at 9 o'clock at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henke, Second street, this city. The services were conducted by Rev. Ober-mowe, pastor of the German Lutheran Church.

Burial was in the Ellsworth cemetery. The deceased was formerly a resident of this dounty. For the past year or two he has been living on a farm near Oakley owned by his mother. He was about 22 years old. His sister, Mrs.

Emile Bender, and her husband and his mother accompanied the remains to Ellsworth. Bring your bid in by noon Saturday, August 8, on Goodrich sewing machint- th lucky bidder.

The company consisted of six young men, who are students of the College of Emporia, except Mr. Rice G. Brown, the bass soloist, who has completed his course. The entertainment was well received and the parts of the program were well rendered. The young men seemed more like artists than amateurs.

The bass solos and readings of Mr. Brown were a strong feature of the evening's entertainment. Scarcely less mention should be made of the tenor solo.

In speaking at the anniversary dinner in London of the royal literary fund, Rudyard Kipling said: "If you go no farther back than the book of Job you will find that letters, like the art of printing, were born perfect.

Some professions, law and medicine, for example, are still in a state of evolution, inasmuch as no expert in them seems to be quite sure that he can win a case or cure a cold. On the other hand, the calling of letters carries with it the disabilities from which these professions are free. "When an eminent lawyer or physician is once dead, he is always dead. His ghost does not continue to practice in the law courts or the operating theater. Now it cannot have escaped your attention that a writer often does not begin to live till he has been dead for some time.

In certain notorious cases the longer he has been dead the more alive he is, and the more acute is his competition against the living. "I do not ask you to imagine the feelings of a barrister exposed to the competition of all the dead lord chancellors that ever rat on the woolsack, each delivering judgments on any conceivable case at six pence per judgment, paper bound. I only ask you to allow that what lawyers call the 'dead hand' in this case with a pen in it lies heavy on the calling of letters." CHARACTER REVEALED BY HAIR. Good Points and Failings Alike Visible to the Eyes of Experts. Reading character from people's hair affords lets of amusement to some girls.

It is recorded that straight, black, coarse hair, growing thick, indicates more order and industry than mental power. Auburn hair means a kindly and sympathetic nature, though a hot and breezy temperament sometimes develops. Straight hair indicates power to govern, while curls suggest a feeble sense of right and wrong, they say; though there i3 plenty of gayety, vivacity and self-confidence in the temperament. Fine brown hair accompanies excellent minds. The owners generally' have intellectual tendencies.

Red hair is strongly characteristic no half-way business here. It usually indicates ai quick temper, peppery of course there are exceptions. Golden hair is rarely seen on persons of gross nature. Its owner loves fine arts and possesses exquisite sensibilities. Hair and eyebrows differing in color are said to mean untrustworthi-ness.

They indicate race mixture and sometimes bespeak a wavering, unsteady nature. As a rule, smooth, fine, softly waving hair betokens gentleness, quietness and neatness. Unduly sleek, straight hair gives warning of slyness and hypocrisy. Under Suspicion. For three Sundays in succession the pastor of a Philadelphia church was gladdened by the appearance of a backsliding husband in his wife's pew.

Then suddenly this gratifying exhibition of an awakened conscience ceased. One day the pastor met the delinquent in a street car. "I have not seen you at church for some time," said the preacher. "No," was the candid reply. "I had to give it up.

My wife got so suspicious I couldn't stand it." "Suspicious!" exclaimed the pastor. Tes," said the man; "she got it into her head that I was up to some awful deviltry outside that I was trying to atone for by going to church. Nothing I could say or do could convince her otherwise; so, to show her that I was living a square life I had to stay away from church."
