The most peculiar thing about
this fierce factional fight in the re-
publican party in Wisconsin is that
it is confined mostly to the news
papers. Seven of every ten repub-
licans in the state manifest an I'M

beautiful to behold. - G1enwood

An Old Tim err.

Scott house in Troy last week John
Chapman found between the walls
a copy of the Hudson Chronicle of
Oct. II, 1889. The paper IS IN
good state of preservation and but
little discolored from its 43 years of
age as it had not been exposed to
the light during the time. 1t IS
six-co1umn folio and, as a matter of
course, all home print, as patent IN
sides had not been invented at that
time. The Chronicle was, accord
ing to this copy, in the Sd volume
and this number was the 43d. j. S.
Beal's name appears as publisher
and I. n. Vans1yke was the editor.
The paper was Republican in poll
tics and publishes the state ticket
at the head of it's columns. Alexan-
der w. Randall was the Republican
candidate for governor that fall and
C. B. Cox of this place was the Re-
publican candidate for state sena-
tor. The paper is largely devoted
to politics. There columns are given
to the review of certain political
discussion that was held a few days
before at the court house between
Pump" Carpenter and Mr.. Bean.
This review shows that the discus
sion took wide range, local, state,
and national politics being brought
into the debate. AS the question of
the extension of slavery into the
territories was agitatiug the whole
nation to it's foundation at that time
it may be inferred that the confab
was to a considerable extent directed
that way.
There is considerable local news
in the paper but very little of soc1e-
ty events. Perhaps the absence of
society gossip indicated that the
people were too busy to go visiting.
In the advertising columns many ia
mi1iar names appear, some OF them
seen still, and more but recently, IN
the advertising space of the Hudson
papers.
Alfred Goss conducted a banking
business and another bank was I'M
der the direction of J.. O. Henning
and M. S. Gibson Among the mer-
chants appear the names of M. A.
Fulton, T. E. Williams, c. E.. Oar
ling & Co., Lemuel North, j. Bench
and E. S. Otis. Among the attor-
news occur the names of H. &. Ba-
ker, S. H. Clough, L. P. Wetherby,
C. S. Hall and Allan Dawson. W.
H. Gavin, S. P. Martin, Otis Hoyt
and several others announced them
selves as practicing physicians.
George Strong was surveyor.
The market report included but a
few commodities. Wheat was quo
ted at SO to S. cents bushel, oats
at 20 and potatoes at 20; butter at
20 cents a pound.
A schedule of prices for advertls-
ing and job work published in the
paper shows that prices charged for
such work at that time were very
reasonable, and for most work were
no higher than now. Display ad-
vertising was $50 a column by the
year. Job work, as advertised, in
Guided but few items. These were:
hand bills, whole sheets, $500 per
100; half sheets, $500 per 100; quar-
ter sheets, $3.50 per 100; business
cards, $500 per 100 and from $500
to 5000 per 1000.
The subscription price of the
Chronicle was $500 a year. The
reading matter in this issue is near
ly all original; the composition
work is neatly done; the advertise
ments are displayed in good shape
with considerable variety of type
AID the printing is very well done.

Danger of Colds and La Grippe

The greatest danger from colds
and La grippe is their resulting in
pneumonia. If reasonable care is
used, however, and Chamberlain S

will be avoided. Among the tens of

edy for these diseases, we have yet
to learn of a single case having re-
suited in pneumonia, which shows
conclusively that it is a certain pre-

Notes 4boHt the Big and
Eittte Ball Jossers

Ban Johnson says he did not want Nc
Aleer to sign Jones. He says the Ameri-
can league does not want that kind of
ball players. What about Mcclure?
Loudenslager, who was mentioned as
jumping his contract with the Brooklyn
Baseball club and going to the Eastern
league, did not jump, but was given the
privilege by Manager Hanlon. He asked
Hanlon to allow him to sign with the
Eastern league after he had contracted
to play with the Brooklyn club, and he
was allowed to go.
Hugh Duffy is now in Milwaukee. He
says he has dozen men signed for his
Western league team, but he refuses to
give their names. Duffy springs a crouch
every time his freeze-out at the hands of
the American league is mentioned. He
says that if the National league will cut
to 25-cent ball 1t will skin the American a
block and a half. Especially does it be-
hooye Boston to stick to the 25-cent cut
she made last year, says Duffy.

no fear Of his going wrong. And if he

Anyhow, Kelly has enough players with
him to make a showing.
Outfielder Warner may think again
about that Des MoineS offer and play
with st. Paul.
Kelley sort of believed in that Satur-
day game that it was up to the manager
to make a real showing, and the man
who will manage and captain, ETC. this
season laced out a twO-sacker. Danny
Shay also ran.
Get Thrown Stallings cannot figure out
how the ball players signed by Kelley
can refuse more money TO go to Buffalo.

Walter WiImot is still out rounding up

not enjoy a long spring training, but
Kelley and the other managers will be
wise if they do not forget to watch the
NIiliers.

follows:
President Brush and Manager Ban
croft think they have found a clever
young pitcher in the city amateur league,
and may engage him. He has been prac-
tcing with the players, and was really
discovered by Capt Glasscock, who thinks
he is a conner. His name is Rusie. He
is a big, strong fellow, Weighing about 1S0
pounds, and has great speed with fairly
good command of the ball He will at
least be given a trial in some of the ex-
hibition games, and if he shows UP. will
be signed. OF course, the club would not
pay him much salary, but probably more
than he is now making"
Rus%P was given a trial at Cleveland,
May of the same year, but was unable
to get the ball over the plate. He was
given another trial here June 10, in a
game against Pittsburg He exhibited a
Cegrec of efficiency that was unexpected.
He struck out seven men. His next game
was against Washington on the home
grounds. In this game he caves five bases
on balls. Then, in July s. he went up
against the 'PhilIies," replacing a we'll
known pitcher in the fifth inning and
during the remaining innings was hit
safely but twice. He pitched his first full
game against the 'Phillies" on the tenth
of the same month.
This is the brief story of some of the
famous pitchers first games.
He may heave dirt in the ditch but will
always be remembered for his early sue
ceSSeS.

CRIMSON TEAM WEAKER
HARVARD'S FIRST BIAS ENIAN DE-
CLARED INELIGIBLE TO PLAY.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, April 60. @.
Frantz, Harvard 'O3, first baseman on the
Harvard baseball team last year, has
been declared ineligible for the nine this
year by the Harvard athletic committee,
on grounds of professionalism Since the
Cults affair in football last year, the
members of Harvard teams have been
asked to consider their records carefully
in order that no such state of affairs
should exist again. Frantz wrote to the
committee stating the following facts:
In the summer of 1895 he played on a
professional team at Winfield, Kan,
near his home. He played three weeks
and received $36, out of which he paid his
expenses The Winfield team toured the
country and Frantz spent more than
the S36 which he had received. This clears
him technically of professionalism, but
the Harvard committee has decided to
penalize him by debarring him from Har-
ward athletics for one year.
As was done in the case Of the other
two summer baseball players. Story and
Murphy this year will count as one of
the four playing years. Frantz is very
popular IN college, is one Of the leaders
in Harvard Y. NJ C. A. work, and sings

Commissioner General to Asia Say%
Foreign Governments Cannot
Possibly he Ready With
Exhibits i'm 1908.

CHICAGO, April 6.-John Barrett, COM
missioner general to Asia, for the Louisi-
ana Purchase exposition, left Chicago to-
night for San Francisco, en- route 10 the
Orient. AS Mr. Barrett has Just returned
from Washington, where he had access to
the diplomatic correspondence with fore
ign governments on worlds fair matters,
and as he also has been in recent confer
ence with the fair officials at st. Louis,
the following statement made by him to-
night in reference to the reports of a pos
sible postponement Of the st. Louis eX-
position has a special significance.
THE worlds fair management in St
Louis has been bending every energy to
have the exposition open promptly in $685.
but a grave condition has arisen which
it cannot control and for which it Is not
responsible. Nearly all of the foreign
governments have unoficially notified the
United States government, or the worlds
fair management that It IS a physical
impossibility for them to be creditably
represented at st. Louis in 1903. On the
other hand, while the majority Of them
have accepted for 1893 and Will do the best
they can, they have informally intimated
that, if the exposition is postponed, they
will endeavor to surpass even what they
did at Chicago and Paris.
LAS the success of the worlds fair, as
a great international exposition must de-
pend largely on foreign participation 1t
can be seen that this is a most serious
consideration which neither congress nor
the exposition officials can overlook. In
short if the worlds fair at St Louis is
postponed it will be done largely in de-
ference to the wishes OF foreign nations.
For instance, the Japanese government
has informally notified me that Japan VIII
welcome postponement and will partici-
pate accordingly, because in 1903 the great
exposition Is to be held at Osaka, which
will interfere with a worthy representa-
ton at st. Louis in 1903 but in 1904 the best
of the Osaka exhibits could be brought to
st. Louis"

Eddie's manager is equally positive
that the other local men do not care
for Santrys game and says he is williag
to bet at least $500 any time he makes
a match for his boy.
