The practice of disappearing mat
tiers of pnblic interest is becoming dis
gustingly common among newspapers,
and especially is this the case 10 politi-
cal affairs. A person naturally reads
o paper for information, and unless this
information is reliable It is a waste of
time to acquire il. When the press
knowingly and maliciously falsify re-
ports on political questions, for the sole
purpose of drawing strength to their
side of an issue, they are guilty Of the
basest imposition upon the public, who
naturally look to the public prints for
authentic information. OF course it is
frequently the case that papers fall into
error nnknoWingly. through the care
iessness of correspondents but of late
malicious Misrepresentation are be-
coming fal more common than honest
mistakes .-Farmersville Gazette.

Baseball.

Sunday afternoon the Schiller &
Quentmeyers defeated the Cream City
club, of Milwaukee, by score Of 6 to 2.
The main feature Of the game was the
pitching of Oestreicher, who was in
excellent form, striking out nineteen
men and allowing the visitors but four
base hits. He had great speed and
good command of the ball. A glance
at the score will show how little be was
hit, the catcher and first baseman of
his team having between them twenty
six of the twenty-seven put-outs and
the outfielders not having a single
chance. Owens at short made several
pretty stops of hard hits, and Keel
again did some effective batting. The
Cream City boys played good ball, as
they always do, and kept their oppon-
ents hustling throughout the contest.
The score is amended.

In a sermon recently delivered by
our old townsman, Rev. Myron w.
Reed, in Plymouth church, Indianapo-
lis, Ind, the preacher spoke on the
subject of the "World Growing Neigh
borly," and from the discourse we take
the following extract, because of local
reference:
"The telegraph wire is useful for
commercial interests 1t Is also able to
care for the small birds that perch on
it, God is able to take care of a great
many things because He can take care
of little things. Once in while see

down to the power house and there /
see the great monster which moves
them all In one motion. That is the
way God works all, with one power.
1t has only been about 120 years since
Capt. Cook sailed around the world
and introduced the world to itself.
Nellie Bly, could surprise him with her
trip around the world in seventy-three

notes the fact that the world is growing
larger While travelling in Scotland
Rob Roy's country, L met an old friend

said to- me the world, Myron, is grow

Ford. The world, MYron, is growing

One can now go from Denver to Jeru-
salem in twenty days, that is to say,
the world is becoming neighborly, be-
coming acquainted There are ten
great faiths and one great charity. We
are related to all that kneel and pray
A man who is on his knees is not neces-
sarily praying to some God. It serves
as ladder for his mind. In Denver
there is very little controversy on ac-
count of the fact that God is love. The
ministers of that city are mostly ac-
euainted and are friends. This is a
result Of all being interested in charit-
able FORKS. A certain man who had
been in Denver for short time was
asked what he thought the best thing
he had seen in Denver. He said it
was carriage in a funeral procession
in which he had seen Hebrew rabbi,
Catholic priest, Unitarian clergy
man and Congregational parson.

Death of Bishop c. r. Knight.


Rt. Rev. Cyrus F. Knight, Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Milwaukee,
died at his home in Milwaukee, Mon
day afternoon in his 62d year, having
been born in Boston, Mass, March %,
1881. He was elected bishop December
Is, 1883, and consecrated March 26th
following. The immediate cause OF the
bishops death was stroke of paralysis
that be sustained last Friday and which
was, doubtless, superinduced by over
work and an attack of the grip during
the past winter. His death is severe
blow to the diocese and a shock to the
entire state. He leaves wife and five
children, three daughters and two sons.
AS to his successor to the bishopric the
name of Rev. w. Ten Brock, of La
Crosse, is favorably mentioned. 1t is
believed that there is good material in
Wisconsin for the office of bishop and
that the time has now come to tangibly
recognize this fact A Wisconsin man
for Wisconsin diocese, all things being
equal, would seem a sensible view to
take in connection with filling the
vacancy. 1t is probable that no sue
cessor to Bishop Knight will be elected
until fall
The funeral is announced to take
place at All Saints Cathedral, MilWau-
kee, tomorrow at II A. NJ.
