This organization is doing its work

one having copies they can spare
ought to contribute them to the so
ciety. The complete schedule ot the
National League Rase Rail games
for 1898, issued by the Lake Shore
& Michigan Southern Ry. is a very
handy book for lovers of our national
game. It not only shows the oppos
ing teams and where they play each
day in the season, but contains 8iace8
for filling in scores, pitchers' names,
hits, junsand errors, with interesting
items about the 1897 games. Any
one can procure a copy of the book
by sending 4 cents in postage to

The ten-year old son of Hand
Grayhill of near Richfield was
caught by a circular saw hist week

lacerated and the pain was so severe
that it caused the boy's death. The
remains of the lioy were buried Sim
dny. The lad is a nephew of E. C.
Grayhill and Mrs. Jacob Gilbert of
this place.
A very scions eonllagration was
narrowly avcru-d in which at least
the Post printing ollice and the
stable adjoining it would have been
entirely consumed on Tuesday after
noon. The 'engine ro-mi was all
ablaze, the (lames shooting opto the
ceiling, much beyond the power ot a
bucket brigade to extinguish, but
the fortunate presence ot a small
chemical lire extinguisher purchased
from the York Chemical Co. last
summer came to - our rescue. The
charge had been in the extinguisher
since last summer but the little
"animal" did its work and hence
we have a right to term it the ''Hero
ot the Hour."
