HOT GAME AT PROVO.
Prominent Lawyers Cavort On the
Diamond
(Special Correspondence.)


Provo. Aug. 23.-There was a warm
game of ball in this city last evening,
between the lawyers and merchants of
the Union and Bank blocks. The ma
iority of the lineup of the Union block
were lawyers, but only three legal
lights of the Bank block had the cour-
age to play.
The game was full of fun to the spec
tators, of whom there was a good
crowd Warner, on second, played a
heavy game. Every ball that came to
him through the air he collared, but
he couldn't get down to pick up a
grounder. Coming in from the left
field at the end of the third, Judge
King said: ''All of those fiys were COM
ing right for me till they hit the ground
two rods away" He was not alone.
Huntsman was the Splinter of the
day Twelves had finger knocked out
in the fifth, and could not pitch any
more. County Attorney Evans pitched
the sixth, and the Unions made about
eighteen runs. The bankers couldn't
stand that, and so they put Bert
Choules to pitch, man who belongs
TO the regular team.
At the end of the seventh inning,
after three hours of playing, the score
stood 10 to %, in favor Of the Unions,
and there the game ended. The lineup

Independent Telephone Company.

The Wolf River Promotion and
Construction company, through it's
president, w. ID. Sutton, of Milwaukee,
opened negotiations last week with
our citizens for the institution of an
independent telephone exchange in
WatertOwn. This company already
has quite a string of exchanges in the
territory to the north of US, and ex-
poets soon, either by purchase or con-
structiOn, to have a continuous system
from Chicago to Green Bay and like
wise through other portions of the
state, a complete toll line in Wisconsin
being eventually the result.
While here Mr.. Sutton talked bust
ness with a number of prospective
subscribers and says the outlook
is good for the establishment OF an ex-
change. The scheme of his company
is such that subscribers become stock
holders, and thus, besides obtaining
much cheaper rentals than the Wis
consin Telephone company offers, par
ticipate in the profits. The company's
lines SO far established are well pay
ing investments.
Mr.. Sutton and his co-workers ex-
pect TO shortly apply for franchise
here, and il successful in securing one
the construction of the exchange will
proceed at once.

Valletta, the capital of Malta, has

WhY Cats Hiss

Why does a cat hiss when angry?
Take tiny kitten at play and make il
angry and it will snarl in it's baby
fashion and hiss as best it can. Why?
In Pearson's Magazine Dr. Louis Rob-
inson says that the kissing and splitting
of young kittens is probably an instinc-
tive attempt to scare away enemies
from the helpless tots by initiating a
snakes hiss. A great many creatures
that live in shallow holes have a like
habit of Kissing when annoyed or an
gered. The tail of cat seen dimly in
the half light of a cave suggests a
snakes tail and is often marked in a way
to heighten the resem blance. eff" says
DR.. Robinson, "this really is an instance
of protective mimicry, [ think it is
probable that the chief foe guarded
against was the eagle. Eagles are very
fond of cat flesh, and it has been re-
marked by naturalists that these form
idable birds habitually make war upon
the smaller felidae."

MICHIGAN SUGAR BOUNTY.
Estimated That 1t Will Amount to $500,
900 Each Year

That the Offering of a bounty by
the state for the manufacture of beet
sugar is accomplishing a great deal in
fostering that industry in Michigan is
very evident from the fact that ten
new factories are being erected this
year. The original plant at Bay City,
which IN 1898 manufactured about
5,OOO,OOO pounds Of sugar and drew
over 500, ZOO in bOunties from the
state under provision of the Dudley
law, enacted two years ago, which au-
thorlzed the payment of one cent per
pound on all manufactured sugar, is
to be augmented by three others at
Bay City and one each at Caro-, Roches-
ter, Kalamazoo, Benton HarbOr, Hol-
land and Alma. These factories will
have an average yearly capacity of
1900 900 pounds each, and the state
will be called upon to pay bounties ag-
gregatlng about 5000, 900 every year
until the bounty law is repealed. The
Michigan legislature has just made
the necessary appropriations to meet
the payment of the bounty for the
next two years and the governor is ex-
pected to sign the measure, although
there is some doubt Of its constitution
ality.
Had the legislature of Wisconsin
been as liberal in encouraging the
beet sugar industry as was that of our
sister state, the stock for & large plant
IN this city would probably now be all
subscribed and the factory in course
Of erection. We have heard nothing
OF the project lately, but all having
the interests Of our city at heart earn
estly hope that it has not been alto
gether abandoned. There is nodoubt
money iu beet sugar manufacturing
even if the state pays no bounty.

An Imaginary RObber y.

On Tuesday evening Edward Knaack,
who resides in Concord, while driving
hume lost control of himself and fell
from his wagon a short distance back
oftthe malt house. He was thrown on
a barb wire fence and the neighbors
seeing this went to his rescue.
Knaack became very abusive and he
fought them away. A little later he
was found walking along the track by
the malt house. Weakened by small
loss Of blood, from the wounds he re-
ceived, and also by the liquor he had
taken, he fell at the malt house, unable
to move. Officers were then notified
of the fact. Knaack claimed to
have been shot in the hand and face
and that his money was gone. He
was taken to the police station on
Blair's city ambulance and his wounds
were dressed, and it was found he was
not shot by bullet, but otherwise.
