HE WAS A DEMOCRAT,

But objected to Sleeping with the
Whole Democratic Party.
During the recent cold snap when the
bliZzardy breeZes were singing their
requiem through the telegraph wires
and filing the railroad cuts with an
avalanche of the beautiful, party of
congenial spirits were comfortably en-
sconced at one of the leading Mime
apolis hOstelries, willing away the
tedious hours with jest and song and
joke, when an old gray haired patriarch
whose years of usefulness bOrdered

Change of Base.

All the machinery in the Hardwood
Storage company's shops has been
closed down, and barrels will be made
there by hand for the rest of the winter,
at least. For some time past there has
been considerable discussion as to how
the barrel furnishing business would be
divided, and at last the matter has been
satisfactorily adjusted. The Hardwood
Storage company will shortly place bar
tract of the sixth Street shop. Both of
these cooperages are in the barrel pool,
and in the assignment of territory the
Columbia mill fell to the Hardwood
Storage company, but that mill prefer
ring the Sixth Streets barrels, the other
shop failed to get its full proportion of
business. To even up matters, the
Sixth Street has agreed to allow the
Hardwood Storage company to put 81
600 barrels into the Pillsbury mills, pro-
vided Pillsbury Il Co. assent to the ar
rangement.

Claimed 1t Was a Fraud.

A motion for Judgment on the plead
ings was granted in the case of Rachel
Holdridge against Earl Holdridge. This
action was brought to have certain as
signment of $1,000 mortgage declared
void, on the ground that it was obtained
under false representations and by
fraud. 1t appears that the defendant,
who was acting as the agent for the
plaintiff, told her that in order to have
the mortgage foreclosed she would be
put to great expense, unless she
signed certain paper, giving him
authority to foreclose the same. She
therefore signed a paper which she sup
and for which she received no consider
alton, but which he afterward filled out
as an assignment of the mortgage to
himself and which he placed on record
as such assignment.

left field; McCullom, center; Patton.

flgnC nelQ.
Gooding thinks his outfield and infield
cannot be improved upon if he secures
these men. Jevne was not considered
strong at the bat, but has picked up
wonderfully while in California. His
fielding and base running are eXcep-
tiOnal. McCullOm and Patton are both
good men and too well known to re-
quire further comment. Billy HOwes
was the Surest hitter in last years team.
He did not have the best record. as he
was kept down in the early part of the
year by hitting flies. but he is batter
who can be depended upon to hit the
ball when men are upon bases. Bros
nan and Collins are both fine felders,
heavy hitter. Shaw had a bad year in
1887, but he has fine record and much
is expected of him the coming season.
Robinson is big fellow and slugger,
or at least won that name at Denver
and Topeka last year. Then comes the
important pOint-the battery. Leaving
out Shaw, there are four pitchers and
three Gathers. Krieg is good man and
we'll known, and Graves and Jordan must
develop. Winkleman will be very effect
i've under the three-strike rule and will
puzzle the heavy hitters of the league
more than ever. He is good batter
himself. Klopf is sure and steady
young pitcher, whose excellent work
last season gives promise of still finer
this year. Parsons, of the International
league, had fewer hits against him last
year than his colleague, Crane, who was
gobbled by NewY Ork ,andGOoding thinks
him great. Sterling is a young amateur
of promise, who weighs 100 pounds and
delivers ball that probably no catcher,
but Kreig, can hold. He may develop
into phenomenon. This is the ground
work of the team and it is certainly
| promising one.
THE GROUNDS

! cial provision will be made for the
ladies and an effort to secure liberal
attendance of the fair sex at every

made and the grounds themselves kept
| in as good condition as formerly.

They Are Thinning Down.

The case of Anna Bartholomew
against Winfield W. Bartholomew for a
divorce on the ground of cruel and in
human treatment, was tried and sub
mitted. This case has attracted consid-
cradle attention in the adjoining town
of Richfield, where the Bartholomew
reside and where they are well known
seems to have been caused by the in
reference OF the defendants relatives,
who were never satisfied with his mar
riage to the defendant.

CONFIDENCE.

The sea-gull lifts her wings
On lighting in the sea,
Aloft again she springs
And scars exultantly;
Her refuge is in heavenly things,
As mine, my love, i'll thee.
Lift up thy wings, my soul,
If e'er thy ways decline,
When wild the pillows roll
What confidence is thine?
Despair and death thou shalt control
If still my love is mine.

to get the Republicans out and get
West Virginia boys in. He has
made several trips to the State De-
partment in the interest of Mr.. Ben

pointment tOa lucrative position is
largely due to his efforts The West
Virginians here seem to be in accord
with the President as to his views
on the tariff.

in the consideration of all public
questions. 1t is said that he will
