Des Moines holds tenacicusly to fivst place, notwithstanding the fact that she has drop- ped threo gumes this week. Omaha still holds second, with Kansas City third, St. Louis has fallen from grace after her brilliant work of the week hefore when she repeatedly walloped two leaders; Kansas City took three straight from them, and Des Moines two out of three. The most important matters of the week of local interest were the fine work of the Omuhas in the serics with Des Moines and the unmerciful drubbing they received yesterday from Kunsas City, But every am has its off day and Omaha must have hers. Al the southern teams now go north and try conclusions with the representatives of the marme towns.

Coughlin, of last years Lynn, Mass., club, pitched his first game for the Maroons, and Tebeau made his debut as third baseman for the visitors, The former did very well. He fielded his posi- tion in good style and secms to possess an effective delivery. Tebeau was the victim of an accident and had to leave the field. A hot ball from Fange's bat struck him squarely over the left eyc in the seventh inning. It was o bad blow, and after some_delay it was found he was t¢o severely hurt to resume his place.

Mrs. Smedley wrote a letter in which she r ted that their order had been denied the right to place a white tin flag, bearing the simple inscription, “The mute echo of thousands of aching bearts,” upon the graves of husbands fathers, sons and brothers. She further said: “The g ands that we twine for these nicuior ve stirred with the tears of devotion, and we lay our offerings e honored ad with a prayer to the Great that this sacrifice we give our aving of its liberty for.
