Colville vs. Kettle Falls The first game of the season for the Colville baseball team was played at Kettle Falls last Sunday and resulted in a; score of 2to 1 for Kettle Falls. The Colville lineup was: Neil Tho- mas, pitcher; Geo. Townsend, catcher; Fred Thomas, first base; Bliss Phillips, second; John Wright, short; Mike Wright, third; Farl Cherryholms, right field; J. C. Seely, center; Lon Johnson, left. Charles Wright was taken as a sustitute. Dr. Parker umpired the game. The Kettle Falls lineup was: A. McKeller, 3 b; Kavanaugh, c; Signor, 1 b; Rimers, s; C. Mc- Keller rf; T. Folsom, 2 b; Llew- ellyn If; Richards, cf; Powell, p. The two runs for Kettle Falls were made in the first half of the first inning, and Colville's score was made by John Wright in the last half of the ninth. Numberless errors were made by both sides, but the score indi- cates that some exceptionally good playing made up for them. The grounds were in good condi- tion, and the game was witnessed by something less than 3000 peo- ple, mostly from Colville. Kettle Falls had a professional battery from Spokane, but this was quite evenly matchd by Col- ville's professional battery from Colville. This city was the win- ner in last season's series of games of the county league, and the playing of last Sunday dem- onstrates that this year may see a like result. The return game will be played at the Colville ball park tomor- row, and a large attendance may be expected to see the game started in Colville for 1908.

Kelly's Death He Got What He Needed "Nine years ago itlooked as if my time had come," says Mr. C. Fathing of Mill Creek, Ind. Ter. "I was so run down that life hung on a very slender thread. It was then my druggist recom- mended Electic Bitters. I bought a bottle and I got what I needed —strength. 1 had one foot in the grave, but Electric Bitters put it back on the turf again, and I've been well ever since." Sold under guarantee at Frank B. Goetter's drug store. 50c. P. J. Kelly, general merchant, and a resident of Deer Park for 20 years, died at his home Mon- day morning of Bright's disease, after an illness of several months. He was buried Wednesday after- noon by the side of his wife and mother, funeral services being conducted under the auspices of the K. P. lodge. The Modern Woodmen and Elks were pres- ent at the funeral. A very large attendance of Deer Park citizens and old-time residents of the county bore witness to the es- teem in which his memory is held. Three brothers were present, M. C. Kelly of Colville, T. J. Kel- ley of Newport and E. 0. Kelly, living in Utah. Thomas and Pat- rick Graham of Colvilleand James Monaghan and daughter of Spo- kane were also present. The de- ceased leaves two sons and a daughter, his wife having died within the last year. Mr. Kelly came from South Dakota about 20 years ago and at the time of his death was one of the heavy property owners of the town. He was a man highly esteemed in his community and wherever known, public-spirited and progressive and exception- ally generous and open-handed to the poor and needy. As indi- cative of the regard in which deceased was held is the fact that the burial was attended by about 600 people, nearly half of them on foot. During the past week a num- ber of traveling men have visited Colville, taking orders for fall and winter goods. They all re- port a satisfactory condition of business and state that eastern Washington has been the fav- ored spot of the nation during the financial stringency. The central states and the coast have suffered greatly and business conditions have consequently suf- fered. The only complaint made regarding Stevens county is that the warm weather of the past winter has caused a part of the heavy winter stock to be carried over. Death Was On His Heels Jesse P. Morris of Skippers, Va., had a close call in the spring of 1906. He says: "An attack of pneumonia left me so weak and with such a fearful cough that my friends declared con- sumption had me, and death was on my heels. Then I was per- suaded to try Dr. King's New Discovery. It helped me im- mediately, and after taking two and a half bottles I was a well man again. I found out that New Discovery is the best rem- edy for coughs and lung disease in all the world." Sold under guarantee at Frank B. Goetter's drug store. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free.
