The National Game.

A rattling good game of ball was
witnessed 10y fair-sized crowd at
Washington park last Tuesday after
noon, the contestants being the Mil
waukee Western league team and the
locals. 1t was a spirited contest all
through and both sides put up a very
fast article of ball. In the field the
teams were about evenly matched,
but the visitors were clearly superior
at the bat, securing twelve hits off
Haney, while pete" Husting held
the locals down to six hits. Aside
from being effective, Husting gave a
superb exhibition of how to field the
pitchers position and to him and
Stafford fell the bulk of the work for
their side, they having twenty put
outs and eight assists between them.
The WatertOwn Outtield did some
creditable work and managed to cap
ture everything within reach, while
Krebs at short played a very fast
game Home run hits by Schultz and
Krebs were features and Weaver's
batting was also noteworthy. Fol
lowing is the complete score:

Wedding Procession

Whenever there is a procession we'd
ding you can always wager that the
bridegroom is unwilling. 1t is the
time when man is always out-argued,
at his own wedding. The affair
couldn't 90 on without him, but he
dosen't like to quarrel with the angel
who is about to marry him, SO he con-
sents and makes the long trip in the
church looking like man approach
ing the scaffold. Indeed, we have
often wondered that accounts of we'd
ings don't say that the bridegroom was
resigned and ate fried egg for break
fast with good appetite, and asked his
jailer to forgive him for the trouble
he had caused and meet him in heaven
If a woman must have parade, CAM
it be arranged to have dummy from
cloShing store rolled up the aisle be-
side her and the moose put on its neck!
No one would notice it was not the
bridegroom. m.-Atchison Globe.

Accidentally Discharg ged.

AS result of the accidental dis
chacge Of a gun at the charivari
which occurred at the Kjos-R -Rasmus-
on wedding in Whitefeld Sunday
night, Gust. Winblad is minus a
thumb, is nursing sick hand and
will be laid up from work for long
time. Peter A. johnson, an invited
guest, had very narrow escape, the
charge passing through his hat, four
Or five shots actually lodging in the
skin in his forehead. When the
crowd of unlimited guests came and
made their noise, the cigars were
passed, and the request was made that
the, party should not use their guns as
the teams were becoming frightened.
Mr.. Winblad set down his gun in
compliance with the request, holding
the end of the barrel with his thumb
over the muzzle. Some one jostled
against the gun and it was discharged
with the above unfortunate result.
A loaded shotgun is no plaything,
and such accidents as this ought to
serve as a warning to others.

This season Witnesses an unusually
large number of threshing rigs in
operation in this vicinity. The other
day we noticed six machines working
within distance of from two to three
miles.
The average yield of wheat seems to
be from 12to Is bushels per acre.
TO us who constantly live here our
surroundings may seem very common
place, but that is because we do not
appreciate the beauties with which
nature has furnished US so abundant
ly. Notice, for instance, the lake and
its bordering patches of virgin forest
one of these cool, sweet, autumnal
evenings. The moon above the tree
tops sheds silvery lustre which per-
vades everything save where an unus-
ual heavy cluster of trees produces a
dark recess which no light can pene-
trate. The bordering tree dip their
image into the clear water of the lake,
the surface of which is smooth as a
mirror save where gentle breeze Gre
ates faint ripple. The silence is
broken now and then by the flight of
a bird or the splash of a fish, and
overhead the stars begin to appear,
growing in brightness as the shadows
OF night grow deeper and deeper.
