he was In shape to last several innings
more If necessary. Wilder did not attempt
to be speedy, and in this respect displayed
excellent judgment. The big leaguers are
all looking for swift pitchers, and gener-
orally find them an easy mark. One fact is
very evident, and that is IL any club wants
Wilder three figures on check won't buy
him.
When the fact Is taken into considera-
tion that the Boston team are In the best
condition 1t was possible to get them for
the opening of the League season, which
they begin at Baltimore tomorrow, the
value and importance af the victory will
be appreciated. After the third inning
Boston played their ''darndest" to win,
and anyone that saw the game, and has
the impression that they did not play for
all they were worth has Waterbury
movement somewhere In his head, and had
better consult medical advice.
The Boston team are fine looking lot
OF ball players, and there is some very fast
material In the team. The work of Collins
on third was one of the features of the
becker's hot liner in the sixth inning was
the cleverest play made during the game.
Yeager was given a cordial reception, and
shows that he has improved in fast COM
pany. His work behind the bat, and
throwing to bases was fine.
With the exception of the third inning
the fielding of the visitors was sharp and
full OF ginger. The work of the three
Boston pitchers, Sullivan, Stivetts and
Klobedanz, could not be called a bowling
success yesterday. Stivetts showed up in
the best form of the three, and had more
speed. Both the in and outfields are ap-
parently very strong.
Jack Hunt officiated as umpire, and pos
sibly gave the home team a trifie the best
Of the argument.
After the game lest evening John Smith
was the happiest man In Pawtucket, Man
ager Selee the most disgusted, Jacob c.
Morse the most surprised, and the Boston
players are still trying to figure it all out.

From other sources we learn that A..

he has determined to sublet as much Of

the debauch of wheat and corn. :. In it
you will find the shadows always chasing

cloud your billowy fields with mortgage;
foul your breath in June and January;
still the carol of the lark; dry up the dews
OF night and hope; waste your summers
wealth, your autumn's rich content, and
prison-bar you from the light that is
golden. Drink it. and in boots and
brains you will hear the hiss of snakes,
and everywhere the-voice of sirens sing
ing, ''Thy home our harvest!" and the
laughter of the children shall hush when
you are near. Drink it, and you will
feel within your blood all dawns ill-starr-

day dreamy with deeds that are tawny.
Forty years this liquid havoc has lurk-

By reference to our exchanges we find
that Memorial Day was very generally
observed all over the state. In many COM
munities, like ST. Thomas for instance,
where there are no veteran graves, and
few or no old soldiers living, fraternal
orders and citizens generally turned out
with more or less ceremony and decor
ated the graves of departed brethren
and friends. One of the pleasant results
of this interest in Memorial Day is the
better care of local cemeteries, and if for
no other reason, then this day has we'll
become of regular and general observ-
ance. An illkept cemetery is disgrace
to community.

sH1PP1Na OUT CATTLE.

II mas 0een surprise to almost every
body, to discover, by noting the great
number Of shipments; what lot of cat
tie we had in this county. Since last fall
by what we know of shipments that we
have seen or read of, it seems to us that
this county has sent out at least 50 head
Of cattle each week, and perhaps more,
to eastern markets.
Most of these cattle are unloaded at
st. Paul, sold to Iowa and other corn
state farmers who take them home, feed
them corn and send them to market for
the butchers. The question comes up,
why don't our farmers fat these animals
themselves? We need not argue the
difference in price for fat animal and a
thin one; or the yearling or two-year old.
when converted into fat three or four
year old. lift pays Iowa farmers to buy
our lean stock and fat it, why won't it
pay us to fat it ourselves?
True we have no corn, but we believe
corn can be raised here in paying guam
titles. Certainly all fodder crops such
corn, Hungarian, millet, ETC., grow here
all right. No country raises more or bet
ter root crops, and the oats and barley
we grow are almost as strong in oily, fat
tening elements as corn itself. As we
have stated before in these columns, we
cannot expect to become great cattle
country, because our land is too valua-
bic and productive for mere pasturage,
but every farmer can and ought to raise
pigs and cattle to some extent. Every
farmer has certain amount of offal that
can be utilized as feed; few less acres
of wheat, few more of barley and oats
and roots, and send the grain to market,
not in car loads at fifteen or twenty cents
bushel, but in the form of beef and
pork; then the freight rates will not
take all the receipts, then the eggs will
not be all in one basket" Ifthe wheat
fails, or is low price, perhaps the pro-
ducts of the barn will balance up the in
come.
The keeping of stock would do much
to save that immense and almost wicked
waste of straw that annually goes to the
clouds in smoke, and it would give en-
ployment for the long, nearly idle, winter
months. It is crop that grows all the
winter round,
And so while we rejoice that so many
of our farmers have this hard times year
had something to sell when the wheat
crop failed, we also regret to see so many
of these animals going until their full use
fulness has been attained, and fear that
later it will be hard to find decent beef
sufficient for even home consumption,
and that it will be like it was only few
years ago when our home butchers had
to import dressed beef from st. Paul
and ifs now, it would be practically
shipping our own beef back again and
paying Iowa farmers for fattening them.

Two Views of the Same whiskey.

Editors Union Signal. seven or
eight years ago, Colonel Ingersol pres

whiskey, labeled with the colonies GER

journals and some others tossed it into

whiskey-as rhetorical diamond. /

lead pencil, and it seemed only paste.

often in my travels have l met people
who had favored scrap-books with the

in the pocket of Mr.. Edwin D. Wheel

Citizenship League, have borrowed it
for reissue. Its force is in contrast, and

he handed me as found below, together
with Col. Ingersoll's certificate.
II send you some of the most wonder
full whiskey that ever drove a skeleton
from the feast, or painted landscapes on
the brain of man. IT is the mingled
souls of wheat and corn. In it you will
find the sunshine and the shadow that
chased each other over the billowy fields,
the breath of June, the carol of the lark,
the dews ofnight, the wealth of summer
and autumn's rich content, all golden
with imprisoned light. Drink it, and
you will hear the voices ofmen and
maidens singing, 'The Harvest Home. |"

Drink it, and you will feel within your
blood the startled dawns. the dreamy,
tawny dusks ofmany perfect days. For
forty years this liquid joy hass been with
in the nappy slaves ofoak, longing to
ouch the lips Of man"

RAILROADS AND PRospER1rY

RAILROADS AND PROSPERITY
1t looks very much as if the Great
Northern would be extended from Lang
don northwest, and from Cavalier to
Walhalla and we can congratulate the
good people of these localities. Particu-
larly is this true of Walhalla. There is a
locality which is we'll settled, and which
has fine farming land. The only draw
back has been the long haul to the rail.
road. Mr.. Hill said shortly after the re-
publican conventionrlast year, that if the
country and state went for sound money
that he would extend these branches, and
it now looks. from surveyors stakes,
from right of way agents, from abstracts
of title for right Of way, from the pres
ence of contractors, that the farmers of
Avon, st. Joseph and Walhalla will hear
the whistle of the locomotive this fall.
Meantime, plans and rumors are coming
fast for straight road to Duluth. Wiz
nipeg and the Manitoba government are
working on the plan for the air line road
to Duluth and promises ten cent rate
for wheat to Duluth. The directorate of
the Hines road are working quietly and
the very fact that the Great Northern is
to make extensions will cause rival roads
to also enter this territory. We are salts
fed that if the Manitoba scheme which is
backed by the provincial government,
goes through that it will certainly cause
the Great Northern also to build line.
and probably the Hines road will be able
to get in between. Some of our populist
friends, who voted against honest money
last fall, and who now ask where's your
prosperity" may find food for reflection
in all these railroad projects. There
hasn't been any railroad building or rail-
road talk, except Hines. for the last three
years preceding this.-Railroad building
is done in times of prosperity.

Two blind piggers at Churches Ferry
near Devils Lake were arrested and
sentenced last week. These are the
first convictions in that county, but the
stabbing and shooting scrapes in that
county seem to have awakened the peo-
pie. 1t looks as if westward the star
OF prohibition takes its way" Perhaps
in time it will get to the banks of the
Missouri.
