BASE BALL.
Court House Sports Organize.

The Court House Nine" held meet
ing in the auditors office Saturday after.
noon in order to organize for their com.
ing battle on the diamond with the burly
printers, A. f. Drake actingas chairman
and A. F. Greenwaldt as secretary. A
L, Drake on taking the chair made a
neat little speech upon conclusion of
which he looked at the array of Ball
Players and said, what is the pleasure
of this club?"- HI. d. Woodward arose
and said, TO skin the Printers" This
sentiment was Immediately seconded and
ON being put to the house by the chair
man was unanimously carried.
The next business was the election of
a manager and A. f. Drake was chosen
without opposition. But the election of
captain, which came next, was not SO
easily accomplished as everyone present
had an idea that unless he was chosen
the game would be lost. After consider
able debating it was suggested that a
new captain be elected at the end OF each
inning but this found very little favor
as most of their players are firm believers
in second term. 1t was then moved
that whoever happened to be playing
first base should be the captain but this
was likewise voted down. Finally f. L.
Anderson was elected captain to hold
until his successor was elected and
qualified"
M. N. Esbeck was chosen treasurer.
He asked what the duties of the office
would be and he was told that he would
be expected to purchase balls and bats,
and would be expected to give bonds for |
the faithful performance of his duties.
Woodward then moved that in case they |
beat the printers that they proceed to |
secure if possible the franchise of the |
Des Moines base ball club.
Adjourned to meet latter the ball."

All Incident
WITH A MORAL

She went into a store and
asked to see
The clerk took down the
few pieces they had.
She didn't like any
of them very well.
But the clerk said they
were cheap because -
She couldn't tell
how cheap they were, but
she knew the because"
was right.
So she bought some.
A few days later she
was in RusseII's.
She happened to see the goods
she had wanted.
Asked the price.
Found out she paid more
on account of the "because"
than she would have
had to pay for nicer,
newer goods at Russell's.
Besides she would have
had about ten times
as many styles to choose
from.
As it was, she got some
old stuff.
Goods that had been
on hand for several season.
1t was out OF date.
1t was old.
1t wasn't satisfactory.
She didn't save anything.
She was dissatisfied with her
purchase.
She will know better next time,
She will 60 to Russell's and
look before she buys.
That's what she says.
MORAL: Goods you don't want, are
not cheap, even II they are sold on
.because" price.

Musical Concert.

The mu.ical concert given by the
public schools last Friday evening was
largely attended and was success. 1t
was under the management Of Mrs
Elizabeth Carmichael, who is teacher OF
music in the schools of our city and to
her untiring efforts, supplemented by
the help Of Prof Hooker and the other
teachers, is due the credit of the affair
The pupils deserve considerable credit
too, We suppose, but pupils with the
good opportunities these have wouldn't
be very much il they didn't succeed.
The first part of the program consisted
of singing by the grammar room girls
and the primary room pupils The ut
tie voices brought out pretty harmony
Part two consisted Of singing by the
members of the high school, girls glee
club and boys glee club. 1t is generally
understood to be hard to get the boys te
take an interest in singing but here the
boys glse club rather carried off the
nonors. Inc solos IN which Don Drake
led in one and Leslie Walker in the
other were much appreciated and APP
plauded.
The total income from the entertain
ment was about $4,000, the net incom,
being about $1,000 which will beapplied
to the high school library. The princi
pal benefit from such an affair, however
is the good drill the students get.
Speaking of the school library we ART
reminded by Prof. Hooker that they
have this year added Abbott's Histories
in thirty-two volumes which is largely
biographical, also History Of the Nations
in sixty volumes. The high schoo
library is becoming quite valuable as /;
reference library.
