The results Of the base ball game Of
Friday last. are reported with general
satisfaction by all who witnessed it.
Although our boys did not win. yet it
was the first time they had good
chance to show themselves up. and
they proved no unworthy opponents
to the cracked men Of he west. The
locals played With considerable gin
ger and more than once were the visi-
tors in an atmosphere q uncertainty
as to the result OF the game The
university BOYS came here brown and
tanned with exposure To the sun. and
showing the results Of careful train
inc and coaching. and with many
scalps dangling at their belts, vet on
their return game at the close OF this
month, our boys hope to prove them
selves yet worthier foes to the Des
Moines boys. Our boys lack practice
and if they had more chance for it.
they could undoubtedly successfully
compete with the clubs OF the neigh
boring towns. There IS no reason
why we should not have the best nine
in Southwestern Wisconsin. A little
encouragement and interest is all that
is needed. The boys ought to have
new suits. the old ones being nearly
worn out. The game Friday was a
financial success considering the tact
that it costs $25 to bring the brakes
here The western boys were gentle
manly and courteous in their conduct
and complained OF DO unfair or unjust
treatment at the hands of our boys,
but complimented them on their
efforts to make everything agreeable
for them
On the first inning, the brakes
pounded out three scores before they
were retired The locals returned
the compliment and went them one
better when they first came to the
bat. In the second, Cox of the locals.

visitors, reached first base on an error
of Philipson's and completed the cir
cult and Lolly secured run by a
wild throw of Gifins and Clure
reached first on an error at second
and scored. In the fifth. sixth and
seventh. no scores were made and all
settled down to study work At the
beginning of the eighth, Giffin retired
from the box on account Of a sore
arm, and gave way to Cox, who form
ally introduced himself in his new
position by retiring the visitors with
no additional score and strike out
to his credit, Coates having vicious
famed the air. In the ninth the Wis
itors seemed to have recovered them
selves and batted out two more scores
aud the locals in the last half were
retired with no score and two men on
bases Both Gifin and Coates were
hit freely. Good plays and base hits
were as numerous as mosquitoes on
the Mississippi bottom. Hodel ae-
quilted himself very creditably on
first aud at the bat

"Curleu" is Dead.

Lancaster's famous base ball dog.
.'Curley, is dead. Somebody ad-
ministered to him dose Of poison
last Monday morning and he died in
great agony in the stairway between
the bank and Baxter q Diapers store
at about 9 o'clock. Many expressions
of sorrow at his death are heard, as
he made sport for children and was
everybody's friend. Geutle reader,
did you ever notice how prone some
persons are to attend to matters that
are really none of their business?
Besides attending to the private affairs
of all their neighbors-in bringing up
their children and setting the moral
pace for the parents-they extend
their jurisdiction over the whole city
to the extent of poisoning pets and
setting in circulation damaging stor-
les that poison the lives of persons
with whom they have not the slight
es. acquaintance.
The following printed handbilI has
been posted about the city.
SIS REWARD will be paid for information
leading to the arrest and conviction of the
