The match game of ball between
the Marshall and St. James clubs at
the city park yesterday afternoon was
one of the best ever played in the city.
1t was evident from the start that
the Marshall club was the better of
the two, but in the last half of the
last inning the St. James club made
three runs and brought their score up
to good proportions. Fred Healy, the
Marshall third baseman, was disabled
by spraining one of his limbs, but out
side of this there were no accidents.
The game resulted in a victory for the
Marshall club by score of twelve to
eight, and the winning club claims
the championship of Southern Mime
sofa. The game was skillfully played
throughout and the large gathering
of spectators took lively interest
from start to finish. The best of feel
ing prevailed, as the two clubs are
composed of gentlemenly young men,
We hope thst they will visit our city
again.

AN ANSWER TO "NIGHT WATCH"

EDITOR FREE PREss-In answer to
Might Watch" in your paper of the
10th, would say that Mayor Weaver
had nothing to do with allowing the
horses to Craze on the park grounds,
and also has endeavored with the
writer to do what he could toward i'm
proving the park in manner that
would make it attractive to the citi-
zens of Mankato, but owing to unfor-
seen circumstances we have as yet
been unable to accomplish much in
that direction.
might Watch" says that the city a
"few years ago put force of men in
the park and had row of trees
planted on the east side. Whare are
those trees now? Ask the hundred
horses thathave been pdstured there"
In answer to the above would say
that few years ago the city contract
ed with party to plant the trees on
the east side. They planted them on
the east side, on the outside of the
high board fence where the hundred
horses could not get at them, yet
they died. land for the very good reason
that they were planted by contract at
so much a tree and never taken care
of.
He says that when the Seventh Day
Adventists had their meeting on the
rounds that notices were stuck up
''Tie no teams to trees and yet
horses are pastured there. It'sa very
different thing tying horses to trees
and letting them run at large. A
horse tied to a tree would strip the
bark and kill the tree. A horse run
ming at large would prefer to eat grass.
The reason that the horses have a
right in there as / stated is that the
PAL ties who own the horses pay for the
pasturage. They are kept there dur
ing the day and are taken away at
night. They are herded during the
day and can do no harm as Night
Watch" very well knows. He says
the gateways are closed and guarded,
which is not so and he knows it. A
couple of boards were put across one
gate at the corner, which gateway is
hardly ever used. All the other gates
are open and always have been.
Night Watch" don't like the idea
Of horses being pastured on the
grounds because cows are not allowed
the same privilege. There is good
reason for not allowing COWS inside
the park, which Night Watch" would
have fully demonstrated to his entire
satisfaction, if he should take a
walk some moonlight night with his
best girl after the cows had been
herded there.
Lam in hopes that next spring the
city council will take hold Of the mat
ter and make Improvements at the
park that even "Night Watch" will
not complain of.Trees will be planted
inside the fence s;a competent party
will be employed to look after them
and the grounds. In the meantime
the committee feel justified in max
ing what money they can out of the
use of the grounds in their present
condition, as all the money we can get
will De needed in the improvements
contemplated. j. G. FOWLER,
Chairman Park Committee.

Fruit Good a. ANY Time,

All fruit is said to be most wholesome
the first thing in the morning-and
surely no fruit is SO cleansing and re-
freshing and very little SO delicious at
that hour as a big juicy melon, cooled
over night and almost cracking open and
voluntarily exposing its red heart after
the knife has gone partly through it,
Such a melon, however, is just as good
at other hours in the hot days, for which
1t seems to be especially provided as a
refreshing experience, something more
than the shadow of a great rock in a
weary land. 1t is no wonder the south
ern darkies are so fond of watermelons.
In these most trying days of the long
summer-of the south the melon is more
refreshing than chill dewdrops on the
early morning grass and to the over
heated, overwearied and thirsty soul a
good juicy ripe one comes home to the
business and the bosoms" of darky and
white man alike. Hartford Times.

Three Millions For Endowment Orders.

There Is over $4,000, 900 lying in the

such a dividend. Judge Bumpus has

Easy Tests For Proving "A Diamond

1t is an easy matter to detect the diff
ference between a genuine diamond and
an imitation. Take tube of filtered
water and drop the stone therein. If it
is paste, it can be seen as it passes through
the water, but if pure the eye is unable
to see it at all. Another test is to place
the stone upon pencil dot made on a
piece of white paper. If the dot is du-
plicated upon the facets you can rest as
sured that the stone is fraud, but if
not it is a good stone The common be-
lief that stone can be tested by filing is
erroneous, for the best diamond ever cut
will splinter and break when rasped with
this instrument.-St Louis Globe Dem
