BASE BALL.

For some reason the Appleton ball
team did not come to our city per ad-
vertisement for Sunday last and IN con-
sequence many of our enthusiasts were
disappointed to learn that the game
was off. A substitute contest, however,
took place between the Grand Rapids
and Centralia forces which resulted us
usual with disaster to the former 1t
was what might easily be termed an
exciting struggle though not close
enough to be unusually interesting.
The score stood Is and in favor of
Centralia at the end of eight innings.
On Tuesday afternoon a nice treat in
the way of the National game was
given to the small crowd who found
their way to the fair grounds. Evans
vile, winners of the pennant in the
State League, came down from Wausau
where they had easily won two games,
and were given a hard chase by the
Twin City. Evansville carried such
men as Nonnemacher, last year with
years service with league teams, last
year with Detroit; Newman, of Rock
ford, Ill, league team; and one or two
other leaguers: the rest were promi-
nent amateurs including Gregg, captain
of Wisconsin University team. In fact
the locals found themselves in very
fast company and they held the strong
visiting team down creditably.
Twin City was first at bat and they
landed OH Sullivan, the visiting
pitcher, as if they were going to have
an easy time of it, pounding out two
earned runs. But they didn't get
around after that until the ninth in
ming. Evansville scored in the first
and 2 IN the third inning on ragged in
field errors by home players and then
they had hard work to do anything
more. Twas a brilliant game, by far
the best seen here during the season.
Bandelin's pitching was the feature and
he made a record for himself striking
out all men but one; even the leaguers
didn't find him. Oscar surprised the
big team by his work and they were
prompt in crediting him for it. Papa"
their gray headed old league catcher
said Bandelin was as hard a man as
they had gone against this season, bar
know. The local outfeld work was
strong, Delap and Grignon each coming
in for a long run grand stand catch.
Evansville played fast game all the
time and they are ali right. A more
gentlemanly set of good natured ball
players have never come to our town.
They can play in our back yard, holler
in our rain barrel or slide down our cell
lar door whenever they wish. They
led hot pace on the diamond and the
following is the score by innings:
Twin City ? 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1-3
Evansville 0 0 0 0 x-6

Dr. Abcrncthy's Advice About How to

Keep the stomach warm and you cannot

catching cold"
II was Or, Abcrncthy the celebrated Eng
lish physician, who once gave this advice
to wealthy patient He was rlght,
II IS a well known fact that cold has q
way OF finding out the weak spots In the
body and suddenly attacking them. 1t gem
orally strikes first at the stomach which
Is a very sensitive place, II next Affects
the circulation and makes the blood course
fccbly through the veins That is why
people who catch cold have aches and
pains lose their appetite and suffer from
INDIGESTION.
The way to prevent colds Is to keep the
stomach warm and the blood moving rapidly
by the regular usc OF a pure stimulant
Something should be taken to tone up the
system and fortfy Il against the weaken
ing effects OF cold weather. For this pur-
pose nothing is better than Duny's pure
malt WhskCN, which Is renowned fer its
stimulating, Strengthening qualities. Thou
sands of men and women who use this
whislcy are enabled to escape the dangers
of colds, coughs. Chills grip and pneumonia.

Among the few buildings yet unsold are the

partly constructed by the Odd Fellows Sc
ciety and a lodge room is still maintained
in it. The wing constituting the chapel
proper has been for years used for re-

building was private property, but the COM

that the records show IL TO be government
property and accordingly the land officers
here have been instructed to dispose of il

structure would be practically valueless if
torn down, it was appraised at a very low
figure. and it is probable that the SETTLERS

wolves Around ycrmiilion.

VERMILLION, S. D.. Dec 2O.-(Special)
Wolves are getting to be very bOthersomc
in these parts at present. 1t is almost i'm
possible to hunt the animals down because
of the dense growth of short willow sprouts
Parties owning hogs over on the Missouri
river complain that the wolves are so bold
that they viii attack their swine when they
can be found singly. One farmer recently
purchased large quantity of closely woven
fence wire with the intention Of strnglng
it around his hog lot and thus try to keep
the wolves away. There is a county bounty
of SO per head for each wolf killed. An
old-time hunter makes from so to 500 per
week from this bounty alone. He finds
the nest of the young and sometimes sue
ceeds in unearthing a half dozen little fell
lows
