Base Ball.

GRAND RAPIDS, WIS, FEB. g.
The baseball mania has broken out In
Wisconsin. Although the middle of
winter, the weather has been as mild
here for the last four days al it usually
is in April, and the GRANTEES, of this
city, played the Clippers, of Centralia.
The game was an interesting one
Time of game, two hours and fifteen
minutes score, five to six, in favor Of
the GRANTEES. A challenge will be
sent Immediately to the Stevens Point
club, If the weather remains pleasant.
Chicago TINES.
There was a good deal of interest
and zeal manifested by the boys on both
sides. The weather having been for
four or five successive days. very fine,
with bright sunshine, the grounds were
in excellent condition. We apprehend
the s'Granites'' will become the cham
pion club Of Northern Wisconsin, if
they but stick together for season
more. They played last season with
the best s'nines' in Tomah, Wausau,
Stevens Point and Centralia, playing
in all ten match games. out of which
they lost but one, there being but six
of the regular Granite nine when
they were beaten. The "Clippers' of
Centralia were the best playes that
our nine found as opposition excepting
Wausau's first nine, they being made
of the right kind of stuff for ballists.
We hope the coming season will prove
an excellent one for base ballites.

Legislature to take Adams and Juneau
Counties out Of Judge PARKS circuit

A new circuit, to comprise Adams.
Juneau, Waushara, Wood and Mar

and this appears to Us to be the only
way to relieve the overloaded calendars
in the courts in the counties named.
The Stars suggestion is good,

Fruit Trees. An article in the
Wisconsin Farm Journal written by a
Jackson county farmer, states that
after a fair trial of the trees froh. a
dozen different nurseries in this state,
the trees from the futile nursery, at
Baraboo have proven themselves by
far best adapted to this climate. J. @,
Severns. of Wood, is the agent for this
locality, and we hope our people will
soon raise enough fruit for home con-
sumption. The amount paid out by
our county each year for fruit that can
as well be raised here, is enormous.

Open Session of the Temple OF
J. r. DAWES.

Open Session of the Temple Of
HOnOr.-Last Monday evening the
Wood County Temple of Honor, No.
II held an open session Invested of
all ceremony, on the occasion of the
Anniversary OF the establishment of
Temple No. 100, in the state. Wis
consin has achieved "a triumph over
every other state in the Union in this
branch of temperance work, she being
the first to erect Temple No 100 In
connection with this fact let it be I'M
deEstood that all the Temples from No.
/, established less than two years ago,
TO No. 100 established Feb'y 1st, are
Temples Of stability, and character. in
which there are no drones wearing the
paraphernalia of distinction separate
and apart from active work for the
growth and development of temperance
principles, and in Wood County Tenn
pie particularly, is this manifest All
from the highest to the lowest as re-
CARDS official position are enthusiastic
builders.
The session, wholly informal, was
unusually Interesting. The attend
ance was quite large, embracing very
many ladies from various parts of the
County. The exercises, which were
controlled by no rule and wholly ex-
empt from ritualistic guidance, were
opened with fervent prayer by Bro.
Haskell, after which followed music,
and impromptu remarks by quite a
number of the members of the Temple,
and visitors as we'll The exercises
were interspersed with vocal render
ing of the odes of the Temple. After
refreshments were taken and good
time generally enjoyed, Bro. Foster
offered the benediction and all returned
to, their homes We think the cause
may be furthered materially by repe-
titicn of the informal session of last
Monday evening, but we would suggest
a rather informal programme of exer-
cises be prepared, if so the Temple see
fit to repeat the meeting Of last Mon
day. The Temple now has member
