Yesterdays Ball Game

The Firemen's team and the
Ocala Baseball Club played a
game OF ball yesterday, the first
OF the new series, the Firemen
having won three of the five
games played. The game was a
spirited one and the boys of the
Ocala Club played exceedingly
we'll. 1t was evident that the
Firemen were "not i'm it" from
the start. 1t seemed to be their
"off-day" as, at the close of the
first half of the ninth innng, the
score stood 20 to in favor of the
Ocalas. Stephen Jewett kept
the score and three umpIres did
duty-Fred Vogt, Otto Mente
and Stephen Jewett-one succeed
ing the other. The boys played
we'll on both sides, there was no
hard feeling, and the audience
would cheer vigorously whenever
a favorite made a good strike or
run. The boys will play again
next Friday, when they want to
see big crowd.

The City Printing

GA Contract of Honor Violat-
ed" is the caption of an article in
in today's Banner, which, in JUS
tlce to our readers, the Star will
explain. On December 81, 1898,
at the earnest solicitation of Mr..
Mcdonald, who transacts all
business matters for the Banner,
and heartily seconded by Mr..
Brumby of the Free Press, the
Star and Baptist Witness, by
their representative, r. r. Car
roll, entered into an agreement to
publish no legal advertisements
for the year 1899, at less than
the legal rates, namely: 81 per
inch for the first insertion and
so cents per inch for each subse-
quent insertion, of nonpareil
type. While it was not so stat
ed in the contract, both city and
county tax lists were exempted,
verbally, after a discussion Of
that part of the printing. g. L.
Bittinger, because he had already
offered to print either or both
tax sales, and donate a large
portion of the returns to the good
road or any other fund, and
Messers. Brumby and Mcdonald,
for the reason, as they said, the
county commissioners had no au-
thorlty to accept less than the
rate fixed by law, and the city
council did heretofore and would
again ask for and accept bids at
less than the legal rate. The
matter was fully discussed and
the tax sale printing exempted,
verbally, because it was obvious
ly not necessary to incorporate
them In the agreement. This IS
the understanding of both Bit
finger and Carroll, and with
that understanding, when the
city council asked for bids, the
Star prepared one for the tax
sale only.
Mr.. Mcdonald then held that
the Star had no more right, un-
der the contract, to bid on the
tax sale tEan on the other city
printing, and insisted that the
bid be withdrawn, and when the
Star declined he stated that this
would iuvalidate the contract;
that we had as we'll bid on all
city printing; he would call the
contract off, and that the Banner
would cut the throat of prices In
such a vigorous style that the
city's work would be dene for al
most nothing, or words to that
effect. The Star still insisted
that it would abide by It's under
standing of the contract; was in
formed that to bid on the tax
sale would violate the contract;
that if we bid on one we had as
we'll bid on all; that they would
do so, and it was to the Stars
surprise that no bid came from
the Banner, Tuesday night.

A Silver Wedding Party

of invited guests, numbering about so
persons, met with Mr.. and Mrs. B. p.
Norton at their pleasant farm home
Saturday evening, toasSist them in the
proper observance of their 25 wedding
anniversary. An evening of pleasure
and agreeable conversation passed
all too rapidly, indeed before person
had time to get around and spend a
few moments with each, with whom
he might desire to exchange the court
estes of thoughtful intercourse. The
supper, though the least important
part of the entertainment, was ample
and excellent, and most charmingly
and pleasantly served. Though the
cards of invitation read ''No presents
desired" the invited friends of this
worthy couple omitted presents, but
gave to them mem ento of their good
will and wishes which they can keep
and enjoy all their lives, being solid
silver tea, desert and berry spoons,
which they can keep and cherish as a
sacred remembrance from true and
worthy friends. Each of the many
friends, after most enjoyable evening
bid them good night with the wish
expressed or entertained, that all those
present may meet to help them cele-
brate their golden wedding.

Married..

OLMsoN-FAULKEs- the home of
Mr.. Faul.ics, three miles east of Nc
lntire, on Wednesday, Nov. 8, 1899,
Mr.. John Oleson of LIE Roy, Mimi,
and Miss Florence Faulkes of McIn-
tire, Rev. n. l.. Packard of Riceyille,
officiating.
Mr.. Oleson has been Station Agent
of the ST. Paul railway at LIE Roy for
some years and has the confidence of
his employers and the esteem of his
many friends. His brother is Agent
at Calmar, and the family have long
lived at Ionia, Chickasaw county,
where the mother and sister still
reside.
Miss Florence FaulkeS has recently
been in attendance upon the State
University at Madison, Wis. She is a
lady of fine culture and beautiful char
acter. Her father is a farmer of schol-
arly tastes and resides near McIntire.
The welding was very pleasant af-
fair, attended by the immediate
frienks who greatly enjoyed the ele-
CANT supper and the social features of
the occasion. The bride was the re-
cipient of some very choice presents.
After wedding tour of some three
week. they will settle down at Leroy.

AUDIENCE DELIGHTED.
Gavin Spence and Miss Flora Mcdonald
Are Refined Entertainers.

1t is not too much to say that the
entertainment given last night by
Gavin Spence and Miss Flora Mac
Donald, was one of the character.
Gavin Spence is justly celebrated
Scottish tenor, and Miss Macdonald is
Scottish soprano with a remarkably
clear and sweet voice. Scotch songs
and charmingly told tales in the Scotch
dialect deservedly earn for Mr.. Spence
the title of ''Prince of Scottish Enter
tainers"
Mr.. Spence and Miss Macdonald
were attired in full Scotch costume
most attractively. 1t would require a
colume to tell the interesting things
Mr.. Spence told about Scotland and
it's people. His humorous stories con-
vulsed his hearers, and his pathetic
word picture of the death of DR.. Nc
Clure moved many to tears. The sew
eral duets by Mr.. Spence and Miss Nc
Lonald were greeted by prolonged ap-
plause. "Annie Laurie, >, 'Flow Gen
tly, sweet Alton, "The Bonnie House
of Ivy, 'Jessie's Dream" and other
songs, not on the program, delighte
the audience. 1t is the custom to
close all Scotch meetings by singing
"Auld Lang Syne" That was the way
Mr.. Spence last night closed one of the
most retined Instructive and thor
oughly pleasing entertainments given
in Rochester in long time.-Roches-

Adam Petry bought the Geo. Friend
farm east of the New Oregon ceme-
terry and last week moved part of his
goods there, and next day when he
brought the rest of them found the
house had been broken into ant a good
deal of them had been stolen and the
windows broken. No clue to the per-
petratorS thus far.
We note with more than ordinary
qualification that Hon. VIM. Theoph-
Illus was elected representative from
Scott county, reversing majority Of
over 1900 given the republicans one
year ago. This was not an endorse
ment, but condemnation of imperial
ism by the sturdy Germans of Scott
who understand what it means.
At Decorah Institute, all who are
planning to come should come at once.
All the departments are rapidly filling
up. The Norwegian and German clas-
ses are open to the Business depart
ment. S4.00 month for the Book
keeping. S4.00 month for the Short
hand and Typewriting. Send for
specimen of the fine penmanship.
A clergyman day or two before the
election expressed the hope that
Hannaism in Ohio would be wiped out,
yet he went to the polls and voted for
Hannaism in Iowa. He probably
realizes the fact that no clergyman
crn occupy his pulpit unless he votes
the Hanna ticket. Salaries and con
yictions too often come from the same
source.
There was foot race on the fair
grounds one day last week, at which it
is said some $1,000 changed hands, Mr..
@. A. L. Lomis being stake holder for
quite a portion of the money, sport
ing men from Lawler being the princi-
pal losers. The men.were strangers to
the sports, but not to each other it is
said. In short, it was put up job,
skilfully carried out, the money also
went.
The dedication of the Congrega-
tional church will be great occasion
for that society. Mr.. Steffins, of De-
corah, has been secured to organize
the singers of the city into an immense
class under the name of the Choral
Union, and will drill the members on
music specially adapted to that
purpose. He will if everything moves
satisfactorily, give several musical
entertainments during the winter in
the new Congregational church for
the benefit of that society, in conse-
quence of the heavy expense it has
been to in preparing its costly place of
worship. For this purpose the best
musical talent of the respective
church choirs will be invited to take
part in these concerts, and to devote
the time needed to their practice to
enable the choir to render them so as
to meet the appreciation of the public.
It is expected that this will be the
means of adding largely to the treas
ury of the church, should the public
appreciate it as anticipated.

Literature as an Educa tor" /"

The lecture of A. r. McCook upon
the topic at the head of this article,
was delivered in Lyric Hall, Friday
evening, the proceeds going to the
public school library. The lecture
merits all the commentator that has
been bestowed upon it by the press,
the public and the pulpit. The lecture
in point of scholarship, logic, and
methodical arrangement and in its de-
livery was superior to lectures for
which our people have paid the speak
er $1,000, in fact it ranks with the best
ever delivered here by any person and
we have had those who have won a
national reputation on the rostrum.

Intenperance.

In these times we hear much, of
speech, prayer and idle talk upon the
veXed question of temperance: the
most intemperant managed subject
before the people. Detective associ-
ations and buzz saw speakers and
preachers, male. and female, have had
in the past, and present their innings
and in individual cases accomplished
good, but in the aggregate have but
aggravated the disease. Yet 1T is right
to preach and pray against the sin of
intemperance, but from the intemper-
ant and unamerican methods of de-
tective associations and gossiping
preachers-Good Lord deliver lis.
The question is legal one and must
OF right be dealt with in legal way.
The laws are supposed to be founded
upon justice and right. This is a
righteous principle, and involves the
right doing of every man and woman
In law, morals and religion. Religion
and morals have both commercial and
spiritual value, but their practical
value is operative in communities and
states, where law, ecclesiastical and
civil, are honored and enforced by fair
means. There IS nothing which so
hurts any righteous cause as sneak
thief method of working against un-
righteousness. AS to the vexed
question, there are many men and
many women of many minds. The
writer has, like other folk, views on
the question in hand, but prefers not,
at present, to burden his readers with
them. But instead give them the
following from New York religious
paper of high character, and then
leave each one to form their own con-
clusionS.
The Liquor Tax Law, of New
York, commonly known as the Raines
Law, has been in force for three years
long enough to enable us to estimate
Its value as a financial and as moral
measure.
'To assist in estimating it's worth.
the state commissioner of excise
furnishes a table of comparative sta
tlstics by counties, from which we
may learn that the number of LIQUOR
licenses has decreased by 6,o65, re-
duction of over Is per cent. in three
years, while the receipts from licenses
have increased from less than $4,000,
900 to nearly $4,000, 900, that is, they
have more than quadrupled.
''That is very encouraging show
ing for high license, because it must
be remembered that wherever tax is
high all who pay it have an added
interest in seeing that tits notevaded.
There is probably less Illicit selling
in New York City, where the license
$500, than there was when it was 5000
or less.
These are questions at which every
intelligent thinker, men and women,
must look from commercial, as well
as religious and moral point of view.

Rah. Rah,,


Last Saturday the foot ball game
between Cresco and Lime Springs was
played at the Fair Grounds and re-
suited in a sweeping victory for our
home team. The day was fine, and a
goodly crowd of foot ball enthusiasts
was present, although Cresco people
did not patronize the boys as we'll as
they should.
Ninety-seven points were scored, Is
touch-downs and 2 goals being kicked
by Cresco. Three Greco men were
injured, Wildman and Croupe being
winded, and Clemmer sprained his
knee.
The winners in the game accepted
a challenge from Fayette, to be played
there in about two weeks.
