If we can believe the newspapers,

II we can believe the newspapers,
Governor Orman Of Colorado has made
the first appointment of an American
to be the holder of Rhodes scholar
ship. His appointee is Mr.. Z. r..
Lehman, a Colorado man who grad
uated last year at Yale with unusual
distinction. Mr.. Lehman applied to
Governor Orman for the appointment,
and his Yale credentials won him
the prize over two hundred other ap-
plicants. The selection seems to be
excellent, but it does not appear where
the governor Of Colorado got authority
to make it. DR.. Parkin, the repre-
sentative Of the Rhodes trustees, is
travelling through the country taking
counsel with the authorities of the
various colleges about the best method
of selecting Rhodes scholars, and, so
far, everything indicates that the
scholars are to be nominated by com
mittees from the colleges. 1t has not
been suggested that governors, or
other political officers, should be con-
cerned in this labor. Has not Gov
ernor Orman misapprehended his OBJ
legations? And is he not, besides, a
year ahead of time? - Harpers

Timothy With Alfalfa.

A Western Slope farmer favors SOW
ing timothy with alfalfa and says:
l find that the best result is obtained
from twenty-five pounds of alfalfa
and Ave pounds of timothy seed to
each acre. The alfalfa will kill the
timothy out in time on we'll drained
lands. The alfalfa plant grows more
in bunches and even where drilled in
there will be many bare spots between
the bunches The timothy, until
the alfalfa takes its place, will in
crease very materially the yield Of
hay The timothy will grow up and
mature with the first cutting OF al.
falfa. The stalks of both timothy
and alfalfa will be finer, less woody
and make better quality of hay than
either grown alone. There will be
little timothy in the second and third
cuttings but the sod it forms makes
much better winter pasture and pro-
tects the land from washing and
being out up by the hoofs of animals
or the wheels of wagons or machines
when the ground is soft. 1 value P
field sown to both timothy and al
falfa to be worth. third more than
if sown to alfalfa alone. Not only
do get a better yield, more and bet
ter pasture and protect the field, but
the fodder is far better than alfalfa
alone, especially for horses. -

Play a Tie Game.

The local base ball team and the
Stevens Point team were to have
played at the latter place last Sunday
but owing to the frequent Interrupt
tionS by rain, poor decisions by the
umpire, etc, only eight innings were
played. At the end of that time the
score stood to T.
The local team, although slightly
handicapped by the absence of several
players, put up a very good article of
ball and would undoubtedly have
walked off with the game had the
umpire been even partly familiar with
his position. The things he didn't
know about the game would have
filled several large volumes. So bad
did he get that Manager Plenke was
obliged to call his men off the field
The manager of the Stevens Point
team after the game expressed his
intention of reSigning if a visiting
team ever again received such treat
ment.
A return game at this place for next
Sunday has just been arranged when
the boys say they will try conclusions
with the team from up the river on
their merits strictly.

Genevieve Ridgman Found.

Everybody suffered a sigh of relief
Saturday afternoon when it was
known that the vigilant search that
had been carried on for over week
was rewarded by finding the remains
of the little one. 1t appears that
MadameS j. W. Natwick and Ben
Hanson and Messrs Geo. Mcmillan
and DR.. A. L. Ridgman were watch
ing for the remains rather expecting
that upon the 9th day they would
appear upon the surface of the water
Their expectations were realized. At
about four o'clock in the afternoon
while seated on the west bank of the
Wisconsin river opposite the old Pete
Rogers place Mrs. Ben Hanson was
the first to notice an object on the
water that attracted her attention.
She called the attention of those
present to the object and MeSSrS.
Mcmillan and Ridgman entered row
boat and went out to see and sure
enough it was the dear little ones
remains. They were tenderly handled
by the father and taken home to the
anxious mother and children. The
rest can better be imagined than
described. On account of the cOndi-
tiOn of the remains the funeral was
held the same evening at seven O'Clock
from the house.
