Dubuque Anxious to Come.
There is every reason to believe
that Dubuque can secure a franchise
in the Three-I baseball league for the
next season if proper steps are taken
i'm the near future says a Dubuque
exchange. The regular annual meet
ing of the league will be held in ST.
Louis the third Thursday i'm Novem
ber. when franchises for the year will
be granted and the next season $
work outlined. 1t is safe to predict
that baseball team i'm Dubuque
next year would be a winner as the
city has had no professional ball
since the demise of Ted SulIivan's
team four years ago. The other
towns in the league recognize this
fact and undoubtedly would be anN-
ious to- take the city in if the matter
was got at in business-like way.
The thing to do at the present time
is for the men who are interested in
the game to canvass the situation and
if the interest warrants it to call a
meeting and take steps to having the
city represented at the annual meet
ing of the league"

To FIJI a Want.

1t is proposed in a general way to
insure grounds and conveniences of n
permanent character such as will i'm
vite athletic exhibitions of all de-
scriptions at all seasons when out
door sports are possible. and this be
ing the design it will while filling Il
want that is generally admitted,
prove a desirable financial investment
as well.
The board is composed not only of
men who take a deep interest in base
ball and athletic matters as a whole.
but of some of the best known and
representative business men of the
city, whose acceptance of the duties
that the stockholders have reposed
in them gives stability to the enter
prise as well as assurances of COM

He may sign whom he pIeases, and
be entirely responsible for the con

Broad Scope of the New Park.
The directors have also determined
upon plans for new park for the com
ing year. the site of which will be an
nounced as soon as few minor de-
tails are completed. Suffice is il to
state now that it is the determination
to broaden considerably the scope
and purpose of the grounds to be pro-

the nature of park designed for
general athletic purposes than has
been the case heretofore The
grounds will be laid out with this end

able to get them out Of town before they
had all been bought up by his customers.

Mrs, H. O. Hill has lately returned
from Emo, Western Ontario, whore she
has been visiting her parents, Mr.. and

fact that they are not as yet Initiated

timely to give them friendly hint thai
the only bachelor likely to be tolerated
around here in the future is the CORES

Since the setting in of winter the
weather has generally been fine and as
consequence the roads have been OK
cellent for the hauling to market of the
grain. Hence, us we heard one party
remark not long ago, the farmers have
nothing to kick at but their nelghbors,
which don't hurt, seeing they can kick

DANIELS.

The fact that sleighing is good now
makes things easy for those of our far
mers who are busy yet hauling out the
balance of their 1902 crop. Nearly
everyone around here had a big crop
and with good roads have had every
possible chance to get it onto the market
at a good price.
G. w. Friesen left home on the 18th
for an extended visit east. He goes to
Winnipeg, where he will stay couple of
days for visit with relatives, from their
going to Eastern Ontario and finally
New York state, expecting to return
early in March. With such trip as
this in sight we cannot see how he can
do otherwise than have good time. 1t
is said he is not likely to come home
alone either.
The purchase recently of another
quarter section of land places Mr. Alfred
Larson among the larger land owners of
this locality He is now the owner of as
fine section of Grey township land as
can be found all in one piece. Those of
our neighbors who are beginning to feel
disconnected with. their success in farm
ing in this county have the record made
by Mr. Larson to show that the fault is
not that of the country but their own.
We are all glad to know that the box
social held here on the 18th was good
one-and that means it was the best
that has ever been held in the county.
There will be little chance of anyone re-
futing this statement when it is learned
that the total receipts of the evening
amounted to S244.7O This settles it
that again this year Daniels won easily
in it's contest with neighboring communi-
ties for first place in the basket social
line of entertainments.
George S. Friesen and family have

They are comfortably settled in their

that Mr.. Friesen has finally determined
5 not to leave Cavalier county to make his
f home in the Canadian Northwest. The
r uncertainties of starting in as pioneer
! is not any great inducement to one who
has already s'roughed it, here in thu

year it may be different, at least we hop
it may be SO. :.

Salem, Sept. 22-The body of Cor
nelius Weddle, the Fort Mott Artil-

in this city on Saturday night, was
shipped to Kentucky this afternoon.

ment of soldiers from Fort Mott ar
rived in town and at once stood guard
at the casket and Jail while the citi-
zens were allowed to view the re-
mains, which were placed in the large
hallway. At O'Clock the casket was
placed in the hearse and taken to the

PROFITS OF THE
HOSPITAL CARNIVAL,
The Report of the General Com
mittee Shows $500 Realized
for the Hospital.

The Treasurer of the Carnival Com
mittee has made his report of receipts
and disbursements which has been
audited and passed, showing a net
profit from the enterprise of $3.50.
In making the report the General
Committee take occasion to make most
hearty acknowledgment of the gen.
erous help extended to them on all
sides and which contributed so much
to the success of the undertaking.
Most valuable assistance was rem
dered in special departments by the
Ladies' Auxiliary, the Bridgeton
Lodge of Elks, the Bridgeton Athletic
Association and other Societies and
Lodges, by the tug of war teams and
by individual business enterprises.
Our thanks are also extended to the
Chas. E. Hires Go. who furnished
and served the Root Beer, and to
many business firms in Philadelphia
and elsewhere who contributed gen.
erous supplies for the restaurant.
Our own people are entitled to re-
peated thanks for their contributions
of prizes for the various competitive
events which so greatly increased the
attractions of the Carnival and which
have already been acknowledged in
detail.
The Committee specially appreciate
the very full and accurate reports of
the progress and events of the Carni-
val made by the Bridgeton daily
newspapers.
General as we'll as special thanks to
everybody who helped must include
the Traction Company and it's en-
ployees, the teamsters who were al
ways ready at our call, the Arctic Ice
Co., who contributed ice and cold
storage, the Cumberland Glass Co.,
who contributed the lumber and the
carpenters who worked it and every
one of the large number of men and
women who SO faithfully gave their
time and services to the management
OF the various enterprises in detail.
And, in the hope that none are for
gotten, our thanks are due to the gen.
eral public who gave the Carnival the
support of their attendance and pat
ronage and who have so kindly given
the Committee the assurance of their
appreciation of our own efforts to
make the Carnival success.
