Colville vs. Kettle FallsThe first game of the season

for the Colville baseball teamwas played at Kettle Falls lastSunday and resulted in a; scoreof 2to 1 for Kettle Falls. TheColville lineup was: Neil Tho-mas, pitcher; Geo. Townsend,catcher; Fred Thomas, first base;Bliss Phillips, second; JohnWright, short; Mike Wright,third; Farl Cherryholms, rightfield; J. C. Seely, center; LonJohnson, left. Charles Wrightwas 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 Fallswere made in the first half ofthe first inning, and Colville'sscore was made by John Wrightin the last half of the ninth.Numberless errors were made byboth sides, but the score indi-cates that some exceptionallygood playing made up for them.The grounds were in good condi-tion, and the game was witnessedby something less than 3000 peo-ple, mostly from Colville.

Kettle Falls had a professionalbattery from Spokane, but thiswas quite evenly matchd by Col-ville's professional battery fromColville. This city was the win-ner in last season's series ofgames of the county league, andthe playing of last Sunday dem-onstrates that this year may seea like result.

The return game willbe playedat the Colville ball park tomor-row, and a large attendance maybe expected to see the gamestarted in Colvillefor 1908.

P. J. Kelly's Death

He Got What He Needed"Nine years ago itlooked as if

my time had come," says Mr. C.Fathing of MillCreek, Ind. Ter."I was so run down that lifehung on a very slender thread.It was then my druggist recom-mended Electic Bitters. I boughta bottle and I got what I needed—strength. 1 had one foot inthe grave, but Electric Bittersput itback on the turfagain, andI've been well ever since."

P. J. Kelly, general merchant,and a resident of Deer Park for20 years, died at his home Mon-day morning of Bright's disease,after an illness ofseveral months.He was buried Wednesday after-noon by the side of his wife andmother, funeral services beingconducted under the auspices ofthe K. P. lodge. The ModernWoodmen and Elks were pres-ent at the funeral. A very largeattendance of Deer Park citizensand old-time residents of thecounty bore witness to the es-teem inwhich his memory is held.

Three brothers were present,M. C. Kelly ofColville, T. J. Kel-ley of Newport and E. 0. Kelly,living in Utah. Thomas and Pat-rick Graham ofColvilleand JamesMonaghan and daughter of Spo-kane were also present. The de-ceased leaves two sons and adaughter, his wife having diedwithin the last year.

Mr. Kelly came from SouthDakota about 20 years ago andat the time of his death was oneof the heavy property owners ofthe town. He was a man highlyesteemed in his community andwherever known, public-spiritedand progressive and exception-ally generous and open-handedto the poor and needy. As indi-cative of the regard in whichdeceased was held is the factthat the burial was attended byabout 600 people, nearly half ofthem on foot.

During the past week a num-ber of traveling men have visitedColville, taking orders for falland winter goods. They all re-port a satisfactory condition ofbusiness and state that easternWashington has been the fav-ored spot of the nation duringthe financial stringency. Thecentral states and the coast havesuffered greatly and businessconditions have consequently suf-fered. The only complaint maderegarding Stevens county is thatthe warm weather of the pastwinter has caused a part of theheavy winter stock to be carriedover.

Death Was On His HeelsJesse P. Morris of Skippers,

Va., had a close call in the springof 1906. He says: "An attackof pneumonia left me so weakand with such a fearful coughthat my friends declared con-sumption had me, and death wason my heels. Then I was per-suaded to try Dr. King's NewDiscovery. It helped me im-mediately, and after taking twoand a half bottles Iwas a wellman again. I found out thatNew Discovery is the best rem-edy for coughs and lung diseasein all the world." Sold underguarantee at Frank B. Goetter'sdrug store. 50c and $1.00. Trialbottle free.
