Why Was the State Teachers Institute
Omitted?
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT Il do not sup
pose that you are in any way responsible
for the omission Of the State Teachers
Institute, which was advertised to hold
weeks session at Austin commencing
March "a. But you can, if you will, give
publicity to the query which comes from
north, east, south and west, "Why was
it done" While the interrogation has
looked to the source from whence it was
advertised for an explanation, nothing
has been offered but the dimsy one that
mo suitable room can be obtained for
use on the date fixed by the State authori-
ties" Will ONE one answer these ques-
tions satisfactorily if possible: Was due
diligence exercised in trying to secure
such accomm odations? Admitting that
public halls are scarce in Austin, could
not a church, or schoolreom, have been
secured7 If not held in Austin why not
in some other part of the county? While
would not detract, in the least, from
the praise and credit due to the efficient
and able corps of teachers in your public
schools, will say, that if every school
had been closed for one week, and the
entire building if necessary devoted to
the Institute, the great benefit derived
would have Offset the loss, and placed a
snug little balance upon the side of gain.
And it looks as though there could be no
plausible excuse for not obtaining this
most appropriate building. People gen
orally do not fully realize the Importance
of such Institutes, but the weary, toiling
teacher, leading his little band of pupils
along, step by step, toward the summit
Of the rugged hill Of science" finds in
them not staff only, but very COM
Portable vehicle which will carry him or
her, easily, without jolt or jar, over very
many rough places in school experience.
The it-grower, after some experience,
succeeds passably we'll in raising fruit,
but horticultural exhibitions give him q
better opportunity to compare notes, to
make Determinations as to varieties,
hardihood and profitableness of the diff
ferent kinds around him, and hs attends
them with profit. So the teacher is bene-
Ated by having recourse to Institutes,

nee, and solves the knotty prob

North,cestern League.

The contest in the Northwestern league is
growing daily more interesting at both ends
of the list. Grand Rapids still retains the
position of honor, but only by hairs
breadth, Quincy having won five games
during the week, stepped in between Bay
City and victory, and is within one game of
equality with Grand Rapids. Probabilities
point strongly to an interesting fight between
these clubs for leadership during the week.
Quincy seems now to have the advantage,
having to meet Fort Wayne on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, whereas Grand
Rapids tries conclusions with the stronger
Peoria team. On Saturday the leaders meet,
and it is reasonably certain that the teams
will be On even terms on that date. Sagi-
nav is on an equal footing with Bay City,
but viewing the matter from recent deve lop-
ments, the latter will be ahead at the end of
the week. Saginaw plays in Saltwater and
Bay City in st. Paul, However, few days
may bring about surprising results. St.
Paul will have some new players, and these
NAV put a new face on coming events. The
Terre Haute nine has had its strongest week
since the opening of the season, taking four
of the six games played and giving st. Paul
undisputed possession of the small end of
the list. The contest for this position, how
ever, is by no means closed, and will con-
tinue to furnish entertainment to sporting
readers throughout the season. Although
Minneapolis retains ninth place it is suspect
ed of being jealous of st. Paul's position,
and fortnight's play may bring our neigh
Dor at the Falls the prize. The result to date
is tabulated below:

Crushed hy Freight Car Wheels,

Last evening freight train No. II, on the
Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad, due
in the lower yard in this city at 9:55, came
in on time, and the yard and train hands
were engaged in switching out the St. Paul
freight and coupling the Minneapolis cars
for immediate departure to that city, when
Clarence Hinkley, brakeman of the train,
while signaling the engineer and running
backward to close up the ears, hit his heel
upon the end of a bit of rail lying alongside
the track, which caused him to
fall with his left leg over
the rail, which was fearfully crushed
between the knee and the ankle. He was
taken up and carried to the union depot by
the other train hands, they first having tied
a handkerchief compress above the knee to
stop the flow of blood, and from thence was
taken in hack to st. Joseph Hospital where
Drs. Quinn and Murphy Immediately ampu-
tated the limb. Hinkley is a native of
Massachusetts, about % years of age, of
robust temperament and it is thought he will
survive the amputation. His run was from
Lacrosse to Minneapolis on freight train II
and he has no wife or family.

st. Paul as. Bag City.


About 400 people gathered at Barnes
park, White Bear, yesterday afternoon, to see
the exhibition game of base ball between the
st. Paul and Bay City clubs. The crowd
would ordinarily have been much larger, but
the Fourth had so recently passed, and the
weather was so comfortable in the city, that
people were not much on stir. st. Paul
put its weakest team in the field, Aber being
in the box and Graves catching his delivery.
Camel played at right field, Barnes at center
and Calvin at left. The infeld was as usual.
Hunter, Foster and both of the NettletonS
were off. In the last few innings Barnes
caught in Graves place, though for what
reason we cannot fathom. The game was
loosely played by both teams, Bay City get
ting six errors and st. Paul ten. The batting
was terrific. Aber was hit for fifteen
hits, with total of twenty-five, which, con-
sidering that Bay City welded the willow in
but eight innings, is remarkable. Watkins
was hit hard, but nearly all the balls dropped
into the hands of the outfeld. Every man
in the Bay City team put out somebody, and
more were retired on flies than otherwise. 1t
is safe to say that neither Aber nor Watkins
will pitch in the championship games begin
ming on Tuesday. AS we limited above, the
marked feature of the game was the number
of errors scored by each team. The next
most notable feature was the hit of Foutz
over the left field fence for home run.
Crotty went to bat four times and made three
two-base hits. For the home team Foley per-
formed an unusual feat for him, hitting safe
three times out of four at the bat, one of the
hits being a two-bagger. Calvin and Aber
each pounded the ball for single, and sur
prised both themselves and the audience, for
if there was anything that everybody felt
reasonably certain of it was that neither of
these would make base hit. Werrick did
better than usual, too. He struck out but
once, and popped up three flies. Following
is the score:

The Mississippi FIOater.

On Saturday afternoon at half past three
o'clock, Martin Goldfish discovered the body
of man floating in the river above the rail
road bridge in very discolored and swollen
condition, and so much so as to be difficult
of recognition. He had on good coat, pants
and boots and paste diamond shirt stud.
In his pockets were found spike such as
lumbermen sometimes use to attach to their
boots, as also bunch of keys to which was
attached a tag lettered ''Wm. keenan,, Water
town, Wis Coroner Quinn was summoned
and had the body carried to the miserable
old morgue on Cedar street in
the rear of the county jail,
which be it said for the credit
of the city is soon to be replaced with
suitable institution of the kind. The coroner
at once telegraphed to Minneapolis and to
Watertown, Wis, and up to O'Clock this
morning had received no reply. He thinks
the body that of lumberman or saw-mill
hand who aecidently lost his footing while
floating logs. He has not decided when to
hold an inquest, hoping to hear from some
one who may identify the remains.

The Columbus team met the arch enc

two games, the third of the series being
postponed on account of rain. This result
places Columbus in the van, Metropolitan
being only one game behind, and Louisville
third, but two games away from the leader.
st. Louis, which was expected to be leading
at the end of the week, has fallen away. win
ming but one game of four, and is tied with
Cincinnati for fourth place. Baltimore is
sixth, with Athletic on its heels. The clubs
at the other end of the list are in exactly the
positions of week ago. Toledo has done
the best work and Washington the worst,
having lost all of its five games. Following

MOTHER PHASE OF Mr.. BL41ENE.
Everybody knows, and all candid people
admit that Blaine's object in writing his
book was to promote his thimble-rigging
scheme to secure the Republican presiden-
tiul nomination. By various devious ex-
ploitations he succeeded, and the question
that confronts the American people is, can
he be elected? That he is an improper, dan
gerous man, a majority of the people no
doubt believe, but good many will be start
led to learn that in his ''book'' he advocates
q doctrine that is as great heresy as any
entertained by Jefferson Davis. The Chica-
go Herald puts the matter in a nutshell by
addressing the following questions to Mr..
Blaine:
Are you willing to indorse the proposition laid
down in your book that Virginia has a lawful
claim against the United States government for
damages inflicted upon that state by reason of
the division of its territory in war time. If not,
why did you write that chapter of your book and
why are your agents circulating it in the states
of Virginia and West Virginia us an argument III
favor Of your election?
Mr.. Blaine's position on this point trans
sends all others he may be pleased to take
during the campaign.
If he holds to this opinion is he safe man!
Is the war ended when Republican candi-
late for the presidency enunciates the doc
Tine that the states lately in revolt have just
claims for any kind of damages inflicted
apon them in open rebellion?'
Mr.. Blaine is'too brilliant to be allowed
10 be President. All men who want tranquil
ty and prosperity must unite in blocking his
game The public mind must be aroused to
he dangers that are arising from this mans
cenuidaeY.
