An important chnngs was effected in
the management of the Portland baseball
club yesterday-the most noteworthy
move that has been made since the season
startad in the New England league this
year. At tho special nesting of the
league, which WAS held at Lewiston on
Wednesday evening, it appeared that all
Of the teams we're in rather hard finan-
DIAL Shedding. The Portland association
believed that crisis in affairs had arisen,
and desired that steps to remedy the
difficulty should at once be taken.
Accordingly special committee con-
Eisting OF President Murnane, Secretary
Morse and Manager Walter Burnham of
the Brockton team was appointed to visit
Portland and make an vestigation.
The comIni ttes met here yesterday
morning and at once called upon
Treasurer Murphy of the association.
The committee was vested with full
power to act for the benefit of the league,
aud association.
Treasurer Murphy stated that with the
amount Of funds on hand tho association
would be able to pay all bills at twenty
five cents On the dollar. He was willing
to turn over the good will TO any party
or parties who might DC desi .ous of con-
tiuuing the team through the rest of the
season. The rent Of the grounds which
Mr.. Murphy had paid for would be given
free.
AS 10 one appeared who was willing to
accept these propositions, and tho COM
niittee not wishing to delay matters. it
was decided that Mr.. Murphy should be
authorized to take the club through the
remainder OF the season, and that this
action be at once assumed. There WAS
one proviso-that satisfactory arrange
mcnts should be made with the players
Accordingly last evening Treasurer
Murphy met the players with whom the
condition of affairs was discussed
Amicable arrangements were made with
all except Captain Slater, who declines
to continue further.
said Treasurer Murphy ''We shall keep
right on in the league and start in by
playing at Lewiston tomorrow
MIR. Murphy is to he commended for
his enterprise. As ne desires to retirs at
any time when satisfactory terms can be
made with other parties, now associa-
tion is likely to be formed. 1t is the
ardent desire that such deal be con-
summated. Every patron of the game
desires the retention of Manager Leonard
who has time and again demonstrated
his marked abilities. He is experienced,
is exceeded by no one in the knowledge
of the game. AMI hos the confidence of

A TRArlP EXPERIENCE.
How Bad Wandering Willie Made
Trouble.

Tramps are still Overrunning the
city, owing to the inaction OF the
council, and most of our citizens have
had experiences with them lately.
The experience which H. c. Burgess
had one night last week was not of a
pleasant nature. About eleven
o'clock, after he had retired, he heard
noise at the screen door of his house
on Clark street. The night was
warm, and the inner door had been
left open. MI. Burgess little daugh-
ter went to investigate the noise, and
was frightened by the appearance of
a vicious looking tramp. Mr. Bur-
CESS then appeared and asked the
man what he wanted, and the tramp
demanded something to eat. When
refused, the fellow became impu-
dent and made motion as though to
draw his revolver and said he would
as soon shoot somebody as not Mr..
Burgess went after his cane, as the
tramp refused to move along. but
when he returned, the tramp was
out of sight, having gone down into
| the ravine.

WHEAT AND ITS OUTLOOK.

In commenting upon the wheat
market the Minneapolis Tribune says:
"For the present wheat seems to be
despised and rejected of men. Its
best friends have abandoned it to it's
fate. Barley, corn, oats, and pork are
in the gutter with it, and on Satur-
day night there appeared to be no
friends in sight. There is no partic-
ular legitimate reason for this state of
affairs, but it exists, and various
reasons given for its existence, chief
among them that there is no foreign
demand. This is not true and our eX-
port trade for weeks past proves it.
But that is not quite the point. 1t
would appear that our home trade ex-
poets the buyer from abroad to bid
up, while we are offering to sell cheap
er than ever, is it possible to conceive
that thinking beings with reasoning
powers can wonder at the apathy dis
played by consumers? We trow not.
If we want Great Britain and Europe
to buy our wheat. flour and other
products, we must lead by buying and
advancing them ourselves. We can
not expect foreigners to climb over
one another in their anxious endeav-
ors to absorb American wheat, while
the holders are continually spilling
the stuff out and depressing it's value
at home Ii we have not enough con-
fidence at home in the situation to
maintain values, how can, and why
should we expect others, thousands of
miles away to have. The fact of the
matter is that the foreign speculator
and investor is ready and anxious to
take hold of our surplus, provided
there were any signs of stability in
prices on this side. We must first
show signs of encouragement or the
market will continue to run in the
same rut that it has been following
with increased weakness attendant"

BODY FOUND.
The minnesota River Was the rlroese
BOYS Grave.

The body of the eight year old boy
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Mroese was
found in the Minnesota river near
Adam Jefferson's farm, few miles
below the city, last evening. Henry
Fennan, an employe of Mr.. Jefferson,
was walking along the NJ & st, L..
track and saw the body in the river
near the shore. Investigation showed
that it had been caught and held by a
snag. He came to the city and noti-
fed the officers, and returned with
Coroner Paddock. The body was
brought to John Klein & Co.'S under
taking rooms. 1t was much swollen
and blackened, and had some bruises,
perhaps caused by the drags or the
dynamite explosions. The coroner
decided that no inquest was necessary,
as there was no doubt that death
was due to accidental drowning.
The funeral occurred at one o'clock
this afternoon from the German Luth-
eran church.

TRIP TO WATERVlLLE.
Described by Cyclist Who Was
There Last Week.

The residents of Mankato are fortu-
nate in having, within easy access,
one of the most beautiful of Mime
sofas ten Thousand lakes. l refer to
Lake Tetonka, near Waterville, a dis
lance of thirty miles from Mankato
by the M. & ST. l.. Ry. An outing
awheel, while affording most health
full recreation, also affords an oppor-
tunity to behold nature in all her
varied beauties and to observe her
ways, Such a combination of influ-
ences led a party of cyclists to take a
trip to the above mentioned lake on
| Friday last. The roads were in very
| bad condition after the recent rains,
! but we were more than repaid for this
discomfort by the pleasure we enjoyed
while there.
Lake Tetonka might be appro-
priately named the Saratoga of the
northwest. But no title, however
high-sounding, can do justice to the
beauties of it's scenery or the sumptu-
business of it's hotel. The lake is a
combination of allothat can be desired
in fresh water lake. 1t is suitable
place of resort for the artist and for
the idler The shores are lined with
beautiful borders of timber and. like
all MinneSOta's lakes, it teens with
gamey fish of various kinds. The
scenery of the surrounding country is
of the most diversified character. The
hotel is situated on the northern bank
of the lake, and it is one of, if not the
finest, Of any of Minnesotas'
lake hotels. 1t is pictur-
esque wooden structure built
in harmony with it's natural sur
roundings. Broad verandas encircle
it'on three sides, on the first and second
stories. The halls are broad, giving
easy access to all apartments and per-
feet ventilation. Electricity will be
used for lighting purposes. The hotel
is finished in natural wood and has
hardwood floors. The spacious dining
room overlooks the lake. 1t has a
large pipe organ built especially for
the Andrews Bros. An artist dis
courses sweet melody while the wants
of the inner man are being satisfied.
A pavilion is in course of erection
where operas and concerts Of high
order will be given during the sum-
mer, and the ability of the Andrews
troupe will be sufficient guarantee
of excellence. Steamers, sail-boats,
row-boats and water Joboggan furnish
unlimited aquatic sports.
There is half mile track where
lovers of the wheel may have I'M
limited opportunities for recreation
or speed. All who have hadS taste
of life at Lake Tetonka are eloquent
in it's praises.
1t was with great regret that we
turned our faces hOmeward Saturday
morning, but also with the determi-
nation of returning at later date
when we could tarry longer. X.

TRAr1PS GALORE.
They Infest the City's Outskirts in
Great Numbers.

The city councils policy of hospi-
tality toward tramps is bearing excel
lent fruit-frOm the point of view of
the tramps. A gang of thirty or more
is encamped in West Mankato on or
near Ogle & Davis addition. When
seen this morning, they were having
feast off of new potatoes, chickens,
coffee, etc., which had been gathered
in from begging expeditions, done
most successfully by several cripples
who are with the gang. A number Of
West Mankato citizens have made
complaint of this gang, which has
hung around the city so long that
the members know the police officers
by name, how many policemen there
are here, their beats, and other in
formation that they ought not to
know, including the absence of a
stone pile.
Officer Daniels went over to notify
them to move on this morning, and
as he approached one of them
shouted, "Hello, Daniels" When
the officer threatened them with the
imaginary stone pile they simply
laughed and told him that there was
none here. One said, with his mouth
full of delicious chicken, IBIS here is
a good town for us fellers." The
others grunted their approval while
they dove into the potatoes or slipped
their steaming coffee.
A gentleman from Dukes addition
made complaint yesterday that a gang
of thirty-tive tramps is encamped on
the outskirts of the city in that direc-
tion and proving a nuisance.
Another band is located below the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis depot and
spends it's time fishing and begging.
Our citizens are supporting all these
idle fellows, who are too lazy to work.
Every meal or piece of food given
them only encourages them to remain.
A stone pile would rid the. city of
nuisance in week, but for some
reason this council will not pass one.
The thanks of the community
await the alderman who will secure
the passage of a stone pile ordinance,
and the mayors chair, upholstered
with cloth of gold, would be none toe
good for him.
