Ban Championship.

To settle the mooted question as
to which ball club was entitled to
the championship Of southwestern
Wisconsin, our club met the doughty
nine from Boscobel at the village Of
Fennimore last Monday afternoon.
More interest in a ball game had
not been aroused for years in this
section. This assertion is justified
by the fact that fully twelve hundred
people representing the several sur
rounding towns had assembled to
witness the contest A more con
fident set of fellows than the Bos-
cobel players aud their admirers
never went forth to battle; but, alas,
how frail Is conceit when brain and
Drawn are the essentials Of success.
At the end Of the eighth inning
they hopelessly gasped "we'ye had
enough" and a glance at the score
showed that while they had secured
five tallies to their credit the Min
eral Point boys had, without any
extra effort, rolled up thirty-six
tallies. No more disheartened or
financially wrecked party than that
from Boscobel ever left ball field.
Hundreds of dollars chang ed hands.
To the expert work of the Mineral
Point battery and the hand mess Of
our boys with the wagon tongue
are due the vicory. Jacka struck
out nineteen, which is remarkable
showing for eight innings. The
hospitality for all was of the highest
order, while a special feast was
rendered the Mineral Point club in
the evening It the popular hotel
kept by Mr.. Rogers.

Married, at the Congregational
parsonage in Dodgeville, on Wednes-
day evening, Oct. 9th, by Rev. Sem
Phillips, Mr.. Chas. A. Mitchell and
Miss Nette Bell Smith, both of
Mineral Point.
County Supt. Gillett is unable to
visit schools at present, owing to the
serious illness of his wife, which
necessitates his remaining At home.
His many friends deeply sympathize
with him in his trying situation,
and hope that Mrs. G's condition
may soon improve.
From the sun:
Thomas Kennedy, well-known to
all our read ders, has gone to Colorado

on mining business and may visit
Texas before his return.
A little son Of John Smith, Of
this township, died suddenly OF
brain fever about midnight on Sun
day. The little one, we understand,
had been playing with the other
children during the the afternoon.
The breach o; promise suit be-
tween Johana Sullivan (better known
as Della Crowley and Michael
Powers, was tried at the recent term
Of court, and judgment for $500
was returned against Mr.. Powers.
Mr.. Powers claimed a release from
the engagement, while Miss Sulli-
van denied such a release. Mr.
Powers also claimed that the en-
gagement was Of only a few days
duration. Both are well known to
US and have been from childhood,
and we know nothing Of the pecu-
liar difficulties that have resulted in
widening their path in life. Yet it
seems to us that $500 and costs is a
heavy judgment for an engagement
Of only three days.

EARN AND ElRESIDE.

The first silo was erected in this
country in 1876. Since then 5000 have
been built. The silo is no longer an ex-
pertinent.
Water should never be used that
has been held in u lead pipe all night,
and it should be allowed to run freely
before any is taken for use
For vermin on sheep use snuff or
very fine tobacco. Dipping sheep Is
cruel, and should never be practised
except when all other modes fail.
-Replanted corn does not, us rule,
bear large ears. The reason is that the
plants are too much shaded by the
earlier plants. 1t is like raising corn
under the shade of u tree.
Dip the fowls feet and legs in ker.
osene to cure them of lime leg, or
scurvy leg. Three such applications
will cure the worst cases. Usually two
applications are enough.
The tendency to pack together i'll
cruets and containers, may be entirely
overcome by thoroughly drying the
salt and intimately mingling with it a
small percentage of dry corn starch or
arrowroot.
The fruit crop is doubling every
ten years, and attendant evils have
also increased. Insects are more de-
structive than ever. There are 220
different kinds of insects that prey
upon the apple.
An English writer of great ex-
periencc. and close observer. in writ
ing OF II tour of inspection of the agri-
cultural interests of the United States,
says: "If American stockmen used more
roots and less corn they would have to
pay fewer visits to Europe for breed

If the farmer will remember what
it is to be hungry himself he may some
times have 8 kindly feeling for his
young stock. If he add thereto the
thought that long fasting adds no meat
to exposed stock he may feel his pocket
touched, for in the spring if the young
things look well they will bring double
the money that other fellows will who

The valuable elements of corn are
starch, sugar, gluten and oil Southern
corn contains most starch. White corn
contains about seventy per cent. Of
starch. Sugar corn has but little starch
and this is the cause of its shriveling.
Yellow corn has the most oil and Il
large per cent. of gluten. The hard or
flint kinds contain the most gluten and
the soft the most starch. Small kinds
contain the most oil.
Pot Roast: Put thick piece of
beef, with little bone and fat, an
onion, and. if liked, a sliced carrot,
over the fire in a pot; just cover with
boiling water. Put on tight lid and
boil gently for four hours, replenishing
the water as it boils away with just
enough TO keep the meat from burning,
so that there will be hardly any water
left; when it is tender turn occasionally,
and let it, brown in its fat when done.
Take the meat out of the pot and make
a gravy with the drippings; pour over
the meat and serve.

Had he been capable OF pandering to
tho popular sentiment of the hour, he
would not have resisted the ten-hour
bill, nor would he have lost his seat
for Manchester twenty-seven years ago
by denouncing the foreign. policy of
Lord Palmerston in China and in Rus
sia. 1t would be unjust to say of him
that he was ever the mere mouthpiece
of public feeling. He acted as the
champion of the popular cause just so
far us he could identify that cause
with, and vindicate it by reference to,
what have seemed to him to be the
eternal laws of justice and right.
There were radicals before Mr.. John
Bright. There will continue to be
radicals after him. But as he had lit
tie in common with many of those who
were spoken Of as his allies at the be-
ginning of his public life, so he had
slight sympathy with the most power
full and representative radicals whom
he saw around him as the shadows of
his life began to fade.-Century.

ABOUT HEDGEHOGS.
why Hunters Have Deadly Hatred OF
the Little Animal

There are great many hedgehogs
in the woods here, and all hunters
have deadly hatred of them, and al
ways kill them whenever found, under
the idea that they will otherwise not
have good luck in hunting. They do
great damage to the timber by girdling
the trees in the winter rs they feed
upon the bark. There are acres of pine
trees in some places where scarcely a
tree has escaped them, Il great many
being girdled all around and killed.
The animal sits on the snow, it is said,
when gnawing trees, so that these
girdled places show the depth of the
snow. saw some work of hedgehogs,
however, where they had barked the
tree forty feet from the ground in
places where the snow could hardly
have been so deep. | only came across
one in my wanderings, big shaggy
beast, too lazy to get out of the way. L
did not want to shoot it for fear of
frightening the game in the neighbour
hood, and so contented myself with
pelting him with rocks, whereupon he
ran and tried to hide under fallen
tree, where | left him. One night
about midnight was awakened by
loud humping and pounding just out
side the tent, and on going out found
one of the hunters in his night clothes
belaboring hedgehog with club. He
was taking his revenge on the animal
for falling out of a tree and waking him
up.-Forest and Stream.

THE LATE JOHN BRIGHT
One of the Most Remarkable Characters
In English Politics.


John Bright was born at Greenbank,
near Rochdale, November 16, 1911.
After receiving a substantial English
education he entered his fathers busi-
ness, becoming q member of the firm
of John Bright & Brothers, Gotten spin
ners and manufacturers. He was in 1889
one OF the first members of the Anti
Corn Law League, and in 1S43 was re-
turned to Parliament for the city of
Durham, for which he continued to sit
until 1917. when he was returned for
Manchester. He made numerous
speeches in Parliament, and became a
very active and prominent member.
In 1852 he participated in the welcome
given to Kossuth by the advanced Lib
erals of Lancashire, and in the same
year was reelected for Manchester.
BY his vehement denunciation of the
policy which caused the Russian war
he alienated many OF his former sup
porters. He was compelled by severe
illness to withdraw for time from
public affairs. He then passed some
months on the continent. He was in
August, 1857, elected to Parliament
from Birmingham, which borough he
has since continued to represent. He
accepted in 1868 the Office of President
of the Board of Trade under Mr. Glad
stone, and in 1873 was appointed Chan
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Mr.
Bright was especially distinguished
~ If all hi ,,l,N
and power. He was during the civil
war in this country warm and avowed
friend of the Union cause. He re-
signed Office in 1882.
Mr.. Bright was never known as a
great administrator, rs "a great legisla-
tor, or as great master of parlia-
mentary detail. He was not even con-
sidered a debater of the first order.
He was man. however. just as indis-
pensable to the legislation which has
been accomplished during his career as
u minister who conducts u bill through
Parliament. AS an orator he ac-
quired an equal renown in the House
of Commons and on popular platforms.
Such was the power and fervor Of his
eloquencr that 1t has always constituted
force with which responsible states
men have been compelled to reckon
Disraeli once said of Golden that "he
was the greatest politician that the
middle upper class OF England had
produced, and that he was not only an
ornament to the House of Commons,
but an honor to his country" 1t may
be asserted OF Mr.. Bright that he sur
passed all his contemporaries In the |
art of giving simple end weighty
expressions TO the views and
aspirations OF the English multi
tude. He has been called a
demagogue. AS matter of fact no
man was ever less Of u demngogue.

AN IRISH DUELIST.
How tho Famous Pat Power Possess,
Himself of u Gold watch.


How tho Famous Pat Power Possessed
Himself of II Gold watch.
Pat Power, of Daragle, was u fat,
robust man, much distinguished for his
intemperance, aud generally seen with
glowing red face. He on one occa-
sion fought with a fire-eating compan-
ion named Bill Brisco. When taking
aim, he said he still had friendship
for him. and would show it; so+he only
shot off his whisker and top of his ear.
When travelling in England, Power
had many encounters with persons who
were attracted by his brogue and
clumsy appearance. On one occasion,
group of gentlemen were sitting in
u box at one end of the room when he
entered at the other. The representa-
tive of Irish manners at this time on
the English stage was tissue of ig-
norance, blunders and absurdities; and
when real Irishman appeared off the
stage, he was always supposed to have
the characteristics of his class, and so
fair butt for ridicule.
When Power took his seat in the box,
the waiter came to him with gold
watch, with gentleman's compli-
ments, and a request to know what
o'clock it was by it. Power took the
watch, and then directed the waiter to
let him know the person who sent it.
He pointed out one of a group. Power
rang the bell for his servant. and
directed him to bring his pistols and
follow him. He put them under his
arm, and, with the watch in his hand,
walked up TO the box, and, presenting
the watch. begged to know to whom it
belonged. When no one was willing to
own it, he drew his own silver one
from his fob, and presenting it to his
servant, desired him to keep it; and
putting up the gold one, he gave his
name and address. and assured the
company he would keep it safe till
called for. II was never claimed
On another occasion Power ordered
supper, and while waiting for it he
read the newspaper. After some time,
the waiter laid two covered dishes on
the table, and when Power examined
their contents he found they were two
dishes of smoking potatoes. He asked
the waiter to whom he was indebted
for such good fare, and he pointed to
two gentlemen in the opposite box.
Power desired his servant to attend
him, and, directing him in Irish what
to do, quietly made his supper of the
potatoes, to the great amusement of
the Englishmen. Presently his servant
appeared with two more covered dishes,
one of which he laid down before his
master, and the other before the per-
sons in the opposite box. When the
covers were removed there was found
in each Il loaded pistol. Power took up
his and cooked it, telling one of the
others to take up the second, assuring
him ''they were at "A very proper dis
tance for close shot, and if one fell,
he was ready to give satisfaction to the
other" The parties Immediately
rushed out without waiting for IL
second invitation. and with them sew
eral persons in the adjoining box. AS
they were all in too great a hurry to
pay their reckoning, Power paid it for
them along with his OWN. Y. Led
