PROPOSED GAME BETWEEN DONALD
SONVILLE AND SHREVEPORT ,
CLUBS ON RAPIDES
GROUND.

The following letter from Captain
l.. +. Bentley, Of the Nolas, was re-
ccived here last week. We doub,
not the propositions therein contain
cd will meet with appreciation from
the hoys here--or at least we hope
so. Let arrangements be rerfeci ed
at once to get the games played in
our Town:
DONALDsoNv1LLE, Ia,
August IL 1888.
N. s. Ware, Esq. Secretary Alexandria =.
B. c.. Alexandria, La.
DEAR SIR:-
At meeting of the Nolan Club Ia t
evening, your communication was con-
sdered, and was Instructed to reply
as follows:
Your challenge to play match game
at Alexandria for 300 side is accep,
ted, on condition that the date. be
changed from the second to the last
Sunday of September, /. Q. the 3Otlr0f
that month, IS that date will be; a
more convenient one than the day you
named. Several members of our nine
would find it inconvenient, if not i'm
possible, to make the trip the second
week in September, and as yon are at
home, presume the date will be COM
paratively immaterial to 1ou. We
take it for granted chat eur club will
be your guests while in your TOWN.
and some of OR members were of the
opinion that the precedent ought to
be established Of the challenging club
defraying tho travelling expenses of
the challengers, where the latter waive
usual privilege of having the game
played on their grounds. | am quite
confident our Climb would be vii lug to
pay your expenses for the round trip
and entertain you while here if you
would play at Donaldsonville instead
of Alexandria, and put up the 500
stake besides; but in view of the fact
that you voluntarily relinguished your
chance at the 500 prize in GU! last
game, it was agreed to waive this
question for the present if YOU 50 de-
sire.
We are transmitting an invitation
to the Shreveport Climb tn meet us at
Alexandria and play d the day follow
ing our anticipated game with you.
Should they accept, no doubt the in
terest of the occasion would be mate
rally enhanced. You nigh. play them
Sunday morning, say with nine
somewhat different from that selected
to play us, so that the hardest worked
players particularly the pitcher and
catcher) would not be exhausted, then
we could give them bout Monday
forenoon. l think you will find it to
the interest of the game and of your
Town to assist US in arranging such an
affair.
Trusting to receive an early res.
pOnse and that our terms and sngges-
tons will meet with the favorable con-
sideration of your Climb, beg leave to
convey the kindest regards of the No.
lans to You and your fellow members
and to subscribe myself,
Fraternally yours,

Pass Him Around.

The Shreveport, Times Of recent
date requests its contemporaries
throughout the State to notice The
doings Of certain individual named
Perkins, who holds forth at the Ba-
ton Rouge Railroad Junction, keep
ing aD eating house at that point
As the Times describes sone Of his
heartiess and inhuman actions, VIC
reproduce in full The article concern
ing the brute:
few days since we made mention of
the brutal manner in which man
by the name of Perkins. who keeps the
eating house at the Baton Rouge Rail
road Junction, treated Sheriff Wycle--
refusing to sell him glass of water a.
though he was quite sick at The time.
We yesterday heard of a precisely SINH
lar piece of inhumani,v practiced the
next day by this same fellow on anoth-
err party. A young gentleman Of this
city named Moore reached the junction
quite sick with fever; asked the man
for glass of water and was rcfused.--
He offered to pay any reasonableaprice,
but was still refused. Mr.. Moore then
went to a ghboriug cabin and paid a
negro woman fifty cents tor a drink Of
water. We trust our contemporaries
will pass this fellow around. Aside
from being so heartless the meals he
furnishes are simply abominable.

Confederate Property in England.

The matter of the amount of proper
ty formerly belonging to the confed-
eracy but concealed in Europe is
again being discussed. 1t is believed
that in England and on the continent
there are many millions of dollars
worth, and the correct estimate of the
value of all that could be obtained
with the proper knowledge and dill
gence would reach between $20,OOO,-
600 and $SO,OOO,OOO. This may seem
like very large sum, but when it is
remembered that both in England and
on the continent there vast depots of
supplies and a good deal of money,
both generally concealed under the
names of local firms and banks, the
amount will not seem to be overstated
The property was generally in ships
of which there were eight or ten,
on deposit, and cotton belonging to
the confederate government. In 1881,
while Mr.. Blaine was secretary of
state, an American who knows Eng
land and the continent very well, by
accident discovered a deposit of what
he believes to be nearly million
dollars in an English bank. On his
return he communicated to the state
department this information, with a
suggestion as to the manner of re-
claiming it. But just then there was
a change i'll the administration, and
Mr.. Arthur reconstructed the cabinet,
and Mr.. Blaine went out of office.

TIL Grand Trunk and Duluth.

DULUTH, Special Telegram, Sept.
S.-Sir Henry Tyler, NJ. P, president
of the Grand Trunk system, Walter
Lindley, secretary, and James Steven
son, general passenger agent of the
road, arrived here to-day. Sir Henry
Tyler was interviewed on the roads
future in the Northwest. He said he
had just returned from a trip to the
Pacific coast, and had visited every
State and Territory in the Union but
thirteen. He came here direct from
Chicago, with short stop in st. Paul.
He came to Duluth to visit place of
which he had heard much, and with
which the company expects to have
closer connections than it has now by
the Sarnia line of steamers. He said
the Grand Trunk company had not
given up the idea of building a direct
line from Chicago to Duluth, and that
sooner or later the company would
build to this city, in which it now
owns some property, and will own
more in the near future. The party
went from here to Superior this after
noon, and thence to milwaukee via
st. Paul. From there they will go to
Grand Haven, Mich, and over the
Detroit and Grand Haven road to
Detroit, Port Huron, Sarnia and New
York.

BROILED REEESTEAKS.

The Marquis de Lenville, French
poet, composes his VERSES and aims at
the regeneration of the human race,
under the belief that q strict diet of
broiled beefsteak is necessary for the
complete physical, mental and moral
development. Everything else en-
genders in the stomach a fermentation
which smothers the intellect and de-
stroys noble aspirations. The eccentric
Marquis affirms that there are thousands
who might have won fame and name if
theirs had not been the vice of eating,
habitually, Irish stews and fricasseed
chicken. When he invites his friends
to dine he offers three courses of
broiled beefsteak, and says that with
such meals and glass of lukewarm
water every morning one will be able to
write poetry like Byron and novels
equal to Walter SCOTS.

SEPTEMBER, ION. Boudoin last
week sold his harness shop to man
formerly of Benson. The new conner
has secured an excellent business
opening in now booming town and
is to be congratulated. We prophesy
that Mr.. Boudoin will some day re-
greet having given up his place.
M. II. Murray received large num-
Der of fine melons on Monday after
noon. AS they were extra ordinary
good some of the boys ate too much
and did not sleep very we'll in conse-

On Friday night of last week a rip
pie of excitement was caused by a
number drunken roughs at the Clark
House. The Marshal was called in and
after lively tussle in which he him.
self was considerably punished two of
them were lodged in the cooler. They
broke Jail however so that the ends of
justice were again thwarted. The lock-
up at Graceville is not much more
secure than the one which graces the
municipality of Morris.
Two gangs of graders from the Ca
madam Pacific arrived on Sunday night
and have begun work upon the Fargo

this new road is progressing rapidly.
Negotiations are being made for the
mill here which will result no doubt
in starting the mill again in a short
time. This will do much to enliven
trade and attract farmers to this point.
Trade is unusually active here and
all are busy and hopeful.
Quite a number of new business
houses are assured for the near future
and among them bank.
Graceville is to have a paper. The
outfit has been ordered and the paper
will soon make it's temperance. There
is an active demand for real estate
and land hunters are quite numerous.
It has just leaked out that those con-
nected with the new railroad are
quietly buying up all the land offered
and an upward tendency In prices is
the result, Graceville is looking up.

No Unbelief.

The author of the following poem
which has been handed us for publ
cation is publicly unknown. Who
ever wrote the piece, however, is a
workman that need not be ashamed.
There Is no unbelef,-
Whoever plants u seed beneath the sod,
And waits to see it push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says when clouds are in the sky,
"Be patient heart, light cOmeth by and by
Trusts the most High.
Whoever sees meath winters fields ofsnow,
The silent harvest of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in slumber deep,
Knows God must keep.
Whoever says "to-morrow,"'t unknown"
"The future" trusts that power alone.
He dares disown.
The heart that looks on when the eyelids close
And DAREs to live when life has only woes.
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbelief;
And day by day and night unconsciously,
The heart lives by the faith that lips deny
God knOweth why.

THE NEWS.

S. J. Ahern in letter to the Fargo
Argus says In Polk county, Mimi,
the Cornell university has an un-
broken block of twenty-five thousand
acres of land, and now let me COM
pare the story of John Barrett, who
lives in Scott township adjoining
Morris. Barrett, induced by the
preaching of Bishop Ireland and the
writing of Dillon O'Brien, left Wis
consin he arrived in Morris with a
farm wagon, a pair of Berkshire pigs,
some household furniture, eight in a
family and fifteen dollars in cash.
He called on a "crony" and ordered
beer and reduced his cash, and then
he had the Berkshire pigs and other
effects and fourteen and half dollars.
He was told that he could take a
quarter section of land for q homestead
and quarter for''tree claim" and he
purchased one yoke of oxen on long
credit, and John set to work, and now,
in six years, mind, he has four hun
dred acres of land, and black pigs and
horned cattle to the value of 5000,
and owes but $500. Compare the value
to the county and township and state
of John, with his black pigs, to the
Cornell folk, with acres untouched
from the floods, or the glaciers, or the
comets tails of Ignatius Donnelly |!
This is a country of wonderful posi-
bilities, and if you will go to congress
and vote and talk to keep "the gran
dest country on earth between Fargo
and Mandan" free from the tiller of
the soil, I'll go to Fargo, COLOMBO and
vote for you.
