y. nunired several u our citizens this
f~eNAs the wind blew forty knots an
hour and the dust whirled down the
street binding all before IL Yes.
we certainly ought TO have sprinkler
in the city but our experience year
ago when we started out to advocate
one was such as would chill the ardor
Of anyone. Asa result Of our advocacy
gentlemen in the city set ont 70
solicit subscriptions and the very FIRST
man that he struck referred him 70 the
writer as the only fellow that wanted
a sprinkler and added that we would,
perhaps, pay for the luxury. A
sprinkler is certainly needed here
but unless there is a uniformity Of
sentiment on the subject there is no
use of trying to get one The way
that property owners do in other cities
is to chip in fifty cents or dollar
per month each and pay the man that
furnishes the cart The business
men would, we think. make money
by paying dollar each to man for
spri nkling the streets. We hope to see
some one take the subject up and
make canvass of the city.
The base bali game which was
advertised for the afternoon Of the
Fourth between the Negaunee club and
the locals did not take place because Of
the non appearance Of the Negauness.
The actions Of the Marquette county
boys is certainly an unheard OF proce
dure. The manager arranged for a
game and the game was advertised but
when the locals went TO the train 10
meet the visitors they found that they
had never left Negaunee. And this
too. without even the courtesy of a
message telling the local management
OF their action. Nothing has been
heard from the Negaunee club since
to explain their action SO it must be
charged up 10 pure cussedness. There
will be game Of base ball at the
driving park tomorrow between the
local club and the Republic team.
The Republic team is strong one
and good game is expected.
