Wakeeney Wins.
In a fast, snappy game of ball Wa
keeney won from Hays in a ten inning
game Monday afternoon by a score of
3-1. Sohueler who was in the box for
Hays, pitched a strong game, striking
out twelve and allowing but four hits.
Smee, the High School lad who shut
out the Normal team last spring, came
near repeating the trick on the Hays
team as the score indicates; he allowed
but three safe hits. Wakeeney led by
one score until after one man was down
in the ninth inning, when a safe hit
followed by an error at short netted
Hays one run tieing the score. There
was plenty of excitement then, as the
first two Wakeeney men up went out
in order, but the third man laced out a
grounder to deep short and was safe
on first. Another hit aided by Schuel-
er'a hitting a man placed three men on
bases. It was a moment of suspense
and Schueler, had he been a Frank
Merriwell, would have struck out the
next man, or some other member of
the Hays team would have accomplish
ed some heroic stunt and saved the
day, but it was not thus. The fellow
from Wakeeney hit a line drive into
left field that eluded all efforts of Mil
ler to capture it and two of the visitors
crossed the plate and tucked the game
away safe enough to their credit. The
game was characterized by clean play
ing all around and was free from
wrangling, while Dr. Jordan gave gen
eral satisfaction in handling the indica
tor. A fair sized crowd witnessed the
contest. The only thing lacking to
make the game complete was the very
noticeable absence of Normal girls to
sing and cheer for the home team.
Anyway, how can you expect the home
boys to win any laureals without just a
little encouragement from the fair sex.
They missed the girls!

' 1S Tax Levy- - -The
Commissoners met this week
and made the annual tax lew for this
year. Thev decided on the following
levies:
State tax - 9 tenths of a mill
Co. current 1 and 9 " " "
sinking fund 7 " " "
Int. fund . 1 " " "
Havs general 2 and 2 " " '
" sinking fund 1 " 1 " " "
" Int.. 1 mill
School Dist. number 1 "
This, as a general thing, will make
the taxes on the same property this
year a little lower than last year, but
the new taxable property discovered
will cause some to have more taxes to
pay thus producing more income than
last vear. Next week, we will give all
the levies of the townships so all can
tell where they are at and compare
with' their last year's tax receipt.
David Bispbam to Sfng in Hays
To the Citizens of Hays:
Last spring David Bispham sang in
Convention Hall. Kansas City. The
Kansas City papers were full of the
event for weeks in advance of his com
ing and for days after his appearance
there. There was absolute unanimity
among them in pronouncing hhn ; th 2
greatest baritone singer in America
if not in the world, !
Last week I talked with the Presi
dent of tho Apollo Club of Denver.
He said. "David Bispham is the great
est singer in his class in the world. We
have had him for two years in the past
and paid him $600 a night for each of
his two appearances. We pay him the
same price to sing for us again the
first of November and we shall hardly
find a place in Denver large enough to
hold the crowd."
Contracts have been signed by which
Mr. Bisaham will sing in the Normal
Auditorium November 9, next, under
the auspices of the Normal Faculty."
Of course we do rot pay $600 for the
concert nor shall we be compelled to
charee citizens of Hays from $2 to $3
for reserved seats as is the case in the
large cities.
No such artist as Mr. Bispham has
ever before appeared in any Kansas
town the size of Hays. It is by a com
bination of fortuitiouB circumstances
that we are able to get him and it is
not at. all probable that he will sing
elsewhere in Kansas this season. The
event should be a great one not only
for Hays but for neighboring -cities
east and west for fifty or sixty miles.
Unfortunately our Normal Auditorium
will seat not to exceed 500 people and
we fear that we may have to disappoint
who would like to hear Mr.
Bispham.
Watch the local papers for later an
nouncements as to sale of tickets,
prices etc
