HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS.

Our base ball team played the
team of the Platteville high school
at the fair grounds in this city on
Friday, the Platteville team win
ming by the score of Z to 4. Platte
ville's tallies were made by Shepard,
Boil (2), Kuehl, Plourde, Shaffer and
Benson; while the players who
scored the four runs for Mineral
Point were Temby, Nickerman 90,
and r. Crawford. The game was
very close and hard-fought through
out. Both teams did good work in
the field and diamond, but the local
team lost the game by poor work at
the bat. There We're only two of the
local team struck out during the
entire game, which is less than have
been struck out at any other game
this season. However. the batting
average of the team was only q per
cent, the lowest average of any
game. The boys generally sent the
ball where it could be easily handled
and then were thrown out at first.

SERIOUS TRouBLE FEARED.

French Government Anticipates Lively
Times Over Dreyfus Decision.
RENNEs, Sept. Gas the end of the
Dreyfus courtmartial trial comes
within sight the French government is
beginning to display fear that the YER
dict may give rise to trouble and orders
have just been received for two reyi-
ments of infantry and n of cavalry,
already within hail of Rennes. to hold
themselves in readiness to proceed to
that town at the first manifestation of
trouble at that place.
The ti-Dreyfusard organs by>their
anti-foreign articles, have added to the
enemies of the foreigners and there is
no doubt the foreign journalists will be
the first victims of the mob-not so
much Anglo-Saxons as Austrian, Ger
man and Russian Jews, who form a
majority Of the representatives Of their
respective countries.

BOYS GET PAID.
North Dakota Soldiers Draw
Months Pay at
Frisco.

\. special from San Francisco y
The North Dakota soldiers were in a
hilarious mood last night. Late in the
afternoon they were made glad by the
announcement that the paymaster would
visit the camp today and reimburse them
for their services for July. The men
had expected that they would be paid
for both July and August, but will have
to be content for the present for one
month. When the final muster out and
payment occurs each man will receive
four months pay, travel pay and cloth
ing allowance, which will bring the ag-
gregate in the neighborhood Of SITE.
y. All officers Of the regiment are work.
ing like beavers today on the rolls. Word
has gone out from headquarters that
everything must be in readiness for the
ordnance officer. who will receive all
arms and accoutremcnts on Friday and
Saturday. For this reason no leaves of
absence were granted yesterday except
for imperative reasons.
The men are emphatically having the
best of it at present. They have nothing
to do but cook and eat their food, and
as there is an abundance Of this, and of
excellent quality, they are rapidly re-
gaining their strength and old-time APP
pearance. For the first time since leav-
ing the state they are beginning, as they
express it, to feel like themselves.
The men in the hospital arc doing
finely. Joseph Wurcer, who was re-
ported as fatally i'll, is beginning to re-
cover and the doctors are hopeful that
he will pull through. Corporal Fred
Hanche is beginning to improve and will
be all right by the time the regiment
leaves for home. Others who were
afflicted with minor ailments are on the
road to recovery and it will not be nee
essary to leave any of them behind.
General Ovenshine's letter to Lieuten-
ant Colonel 1,rueman of the North Da-
kota volunteers is highly priced for the
splendid character of its endorsement.
1t is as follows:
Las Pinas, Luzon, June %, 1699.-My
Dear Colonel Trueman: Your regiment,
the First North Dakota United States
Volunteers, was part Of the brigade IN
der my command for the greater part of
its service in the Philippines, and now
that the regiment is about to depart for
the United States, l take much pleasure
in saying to you that I look upon the
regiment as an excellent, we'll disciplined
and soldierly organization. I soon found
I could depend upon the regiment, and
under no circumstances, no matter how
arduous and exacting they might be, did
it fail to come up to my best expecta-
tions. With such competent field Off
GERS as Majors White and Frame, a regi-
ment must needs be a first-rate one.
Thanking you, your officers and men for
the prompt, cheerful and most efficient
support, I at all times received from
you and from them, and wishing you all
much prosperity, l am most sincerely
your friend,
SAMUEL OVENSHINE,
Commanding Second Division.
