The came of base ball between
the Firemen and the Eagles Satur
day last was a hotly contested
u flair. Both teams were pretty
evenly matched, and it was only
through the aid or the umpire that
the Bugles came out victorious.
The decision that decided the con
test was made nt second base. The
uuinirc called n man safe and then
changed his decision and declared
him out. Many startling plays
were made throughout the gnmc
and the fans kept things lively.
The score was 6 to 5 in favor of
the V. O. U.
A bunch of young friends from

There were in the party, Misses
Pearl nnd Lizzie liby, Nina Noble

THE BARGAIN COUNTER
Dumped the Druggist.
W. M. Scarbough, the popular
littte druggist in the North Bank
Pharmacy, met with a very painful
accident yesterday. He was over
town with Mr. Butterworth's little
driving nag and after luncheon
went for a drive with his sister-in-law.
While driving along, sudden
ly, the buggy became uncoupled,
aud dumped the getiial manipulator
of pills and paregoric out in the
street, and the lady In the bottom
of the buggy. The little pony was
badly scared and skidded Mr.
Scarbrough along on the pavement
for nearly a block before that gritty
lad could stop her, When he had
stopped the pony and taken an in
ventory, he found that he had sus
tained a bad sprain of his right
ankle and numerous contusions and
abrasions all over his anatomy.
Today he walks as if he had been
starched and run through the
mangles at the West Coast Laun
dry. It was very fortunate that it
was he and his sister-in-law instead
of his wife aud bis sister-iuduw, as
It was first planned, who were
driving. Mrs. Scarbrough did not
feel like taking the drive wheu the
time came and thus escaped what
might in that case have been a
most serious accident. As it was
our little druggist does not feel like
crowing very much .
A Happy Surprise.
A very pleasant surprise was
giveu Professor W. M. Wilder,
choir master and leader of the
Grace Methodist chorus, by the
members of the male chorus of that
church.
About 25 of us gathered at 12th

his home Monday evening, May 25,
and stoppiug in frost of his resi
dence we sang "Far Away in the
South." Then we were welcomed
by the host and sjRHt the evening
with games, songs aud stories,
The last speaker of the evening
presented Mr. Wilder with a silver
cup engraved as follows: "Pre
sented to Wm. Massell Wilder by
the boys of Grace church male
chorus, 5-25-08." The evening
was enjoyed very much by all pres
est. E. L. Pkrkins.

Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Electric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The
brig'U store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
no more resist the attraction oi 11 brilliant, Electrically lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass baud.
Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting
nu advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the
titillghlcd cnudlel Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open
after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Electric
light will make many n sale "the night before." Electric
light compels attention, makes c.tsy the examination of your
display, shows goods in detail aud fabrics in their true colors.
Aud don't neglect the Electric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name in the public mind. It is 11 solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work costs little.
