Tile National Game.


The season Of the National Base Ball league
ended Saturday, and for the sixth time since
the organization Of the present league, the
pennant goes to Chicago. The finish was very
exciting, as it was not until the very last day
that the championship was decided. Last year
New York finished better second than did
Detroit this year, but the uncertainty as to the
winner was not so prolonged. The season has
been success in every particular, and there is
hardly any question but what all the clubs
have made money. The only possible excep-
ton is St. Louis. At one time 1t looked as il
this club would not finish the season, but the
club was reorganized, and it finished the sea-
son in excellent form. Notwithstanding all
the talk of new league or association, next
season will find the present league in existence,
with the same clubs as are in it now. There
is one thing, however, which may be counted
upon, and that Is that next year the eight clubs
will be much more evenly matched than they
have been since the league has been in exist
ence. The old players, who have so materially
strengthened several of the clubs in the past,
are rapidly losing their form, and will soon be
retired from the ranks Of the league players.
This will open the way for the new and young
players who are rapidly coming to the front.
There are great many Of these, and 1t should
prove no difficult matter for one club to secure
as good material as another. The following
shows the standing Of the different clubs at the
cloco ~ vyou " loot Coturdav.

A Strange Phenomenon.

A wonderful phenomenon may be seen at
the home of Mr.. M. P. Hoyle, who resides only
a few hundred yards beyond the corporate
limits of Dawson, Ga. 1t is constant fall Of
rain from a cloudless sky, the area in Mr..
Hoyle's yard that is covered by the shower
being about Is feet square. Many citizens
have been out to see this remarkable sight, and
all testify that there is genuine and ceaseless
fall Of raindrops. Attimes the supply Of water
seems greater than at others. Mr.. Hoyle first
observed this unusual sight three weeks ago.
He cannot explain the mystery.

One Of the surest means Of building up a
make it 4 pontto patronize home institutions.
The more literally the people patronize tho
merchants of town, the greater will be the
ability OF those merchants to meet all the
wants of tho people. There seems to be
growing inclination on the part of some of our
people to send away for goods that can be OBJ
tained of as good quality and as cheap right
here in Hope, and the profits on which would
help to sustain our own merchants. Many per-
SONS believe that they can send away and pur-
chase articles at retail in cities for less than
the same articles can be purchased for in the
country. II these people will stop and con-
slider for a moment they will find that the
merchants in large cities have to pay consider
ably more than counterhalance the difference
In freights. Add to this the fact that nearly all
small purchases made away from home are
sent by express, at high rates Of carriage, and
1t will be readily seen that goods purchased
away from home cost more than they could be
bought for here. 1t is a fact of easy demon
stration that there arc certain kinds of goods
which actually retail for less in the country
than they do in Cities But there is another
phase Of this question which should have even
more weight. 1t is that during the summer
when money is scarce, these same people who
send away for goods when they have money,
do not hesitate to call on the local merchants
to furnish them with what they need and carry
them ill after harvest. Surely one good turn
deserves another, and the merchant who strains
| his credit to accommodate us is surely deserv-
to spend.

George jackson, while out hunting last
Sunday afternoon, near Pickert, attempted to
take bis gun out Of the buggy, catching hold
of it by the muzzle, when the hammer caught
and the gun was discharged, its contents enter
ing the left arm below the elbow, shattering it
badly. The unfortunate man was taken to
house near by and an effort made to stop the
flow of blood, bed was made in wagon
and he was then taken to Cooperstown by his
companions, where amputation was performed
by the physicians Of the town, but the shock
proved too great and he died short time after.
Jackson was from Wisconsin, and had been
employed on the Pickert farm since harvest.
His brother, who lives at Eau Claire, Wiscon-
sin, was notified of his death, and came to
Cooperston for the purpose of removing the
remains to his home.

qured Of him concerning the feasibility of the
scbe'pe OF building the road to Hudson's Bay,
and in reply Mr.. McIntre said: ''The con-
tracts have been let for building the road from
Winnipeg to Hudson's Bay, aud the work will
commence inside of the next ten days. The
work will be pushed with the utmost vigor
and completed rs soon as possible It will
open up very rich and fertile country fully as
productive as North Dakota. 1t will, by giving
closer communication with European ports,
enhance the value Of real estate throughout
this section at least twenty per cent. The ex-
pense of transportation Of wheat raised in the
Red River Valley to the seaboard will be de-
creased to such an extent that buyers for for
eign markets can afford to pay at least ten cents
bushel more than they are at present able to
do. I have Travelled throughout the length and
breadth Of the Northwest territory and have
been personally intimate with many who were
in the employ Of the Hudson's Bay company.
This company, when engaging men for their
business, always made it point to pledge
them to secrecy concerning the vast domain
over which it holds sway The difficulties Of
navigating Hudson's Bay have been greatly
exaggerated, for the same obvious reasons,
that the company desired to keep all outsiders
away. Iexpect to take contract on this route
as soon as my contract is finished with the

well to see her Child sink beneath the surface.

held on to it until the father, who was at work
