The Ball Game.

The ball game at the High school
campus Saturday forenoon between
team from ST. Paul and the local
boys was good one and exciting
from start to finish. The ground
was wet and slippery and errors
were easy. St. Paul was first at
bat, and three errors let three men
land on bases. Then Jenson struck
out the next one up, the next flew
out, and the third was out at first
and no scores After that, St. Paul
never looked dangerous, except for
a moment in the sixth inning, when
three hits in succession and base
on balls netted one run, an earned
one. But the slight rally was of
little effect. In the second, fourth
and ninth innings, St. Paul went
out in order. In the third, they got
a man to third on two errors and
stolen base. In the fifth they had
man on first on a'hit. In the
seventh and eighth men got to
second and third respectively on
errors and stolen bases. But the
one lone run in the sixth was their
limit. River Falls scored three
times in the third on triple, two
singles, two stolen bases and an out
at first. In the sixth they landed
two more on three singles, base
by being hit by ball and an out. In
the seventh a single and twol outs
at first netted another, making their
total 6.
Following is the score:

The Fourth In River Falls.

The fourth of July commenced
little unauspicously for a celebra-
ton The clouds were thick and
several showers fell early in the day
but soon after the arrival of the
train from St. Paul the sky cleared
and the rest of the day and night
was all that could be asked in the
way of agreeable weather. Many
people were in from he surround
ing country and those living in the
city were out to enjoy the air, the
sunshine and the society of friends.
The ball game on the High school
campus was attended by large
crowd and many people frequented
the park, the most of them remain
ing to dance or to look on and listen
to the music. Hon. Edward Peter
son of St. Paul gave the people
rousing good speech which was
heartily appreciated. This was the
Band boys celebration and they
gave a good account of themselves
in every way. They furnished
music all day, with quality above
criticism. In the afternoon dane
ing at the pavilion was the chief
pastine. The dance was continued
at night until II o'clock. There
was excellent order all day, no un
harmonious incident being notice
able at any time. The celebration
could not however be called quiet
one. The celebration of a fourth
of July without noise would be an
anomaly, a thing inconceivable.
The small boys claim two days as
their own-the fourth of July and
Christmas. At Christmas they ex-
pect to be patronized, petted and
feasted. On the fourth of July
they are licensed, under sufferance,
to be a tolerated annoyance with
the most abominable noises that
ingenuity can invent with gunpow-
der explosives. The day we cele-
brate is celebrated with more noise
every year. New inventions in the
way of explosives and fireworks
add more noise and more danger of
accidents to each succeeding cele-
bration. 1t is a decided relief to
have the 4th of July a thing of the
past, a Renaissance, on account of
the annoyance, the nervous strain,
sustained from the deafening noises
of the detonation of confined gun
powder. Give us rest-for year.

We had some good rains last
week and one pretty bad storm.
The first of the week considerable
rain fell and so moderate was the
fall that most of it settled into the
ground where it fell. But Thurs
day afternoon an immense amount
of water fell in the space of a couple
of hours. In open vessels standing
away from the caves OF buildings
over seven inches of water was
found from this shower. The roads
were flooded and the creeks over
flowed their banks. The South
Fork filled quickly and sent its sur
plus waters down stream in flood.
AS the great mass of waters went
over Putnam's new dam the sight
was very fine and many people went
down to gaze in admiration upon
the tumbling and swirling of the
waters. Friday morning the main
stream was at its height with waters
higher than at any time since the
flood of 1894. No special damage
was done by the highwater of the
rivers SO far as we have learned
but the crops in some places were
considerably injured by washouts
or by being covered with mud.

There was an immense amount of
mud in the waters of the Kinnickin-
mic and South Fork on the occasion
of the recent freshet, showing that
the rainfall was very heavy for the
time of it's continuance. The water
fell so rapidly it ran with much
force down every slope carrying
along a great deal of the lighter
soi1-the vegetable mold. Such
rains are great injury to land that
has the least incline.
Eddie, the seven-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Kellogg, sca1ded
one of his feet pretty badly Tues
day by sticking it into tub of hot
water. The little boy had been
permitted to play in the tub where
his mother had put carpet to soak
in cold water. While the boy was
out of doors Mrs. Kellogg had turn
ed out the cold water and put in
pailfu1 of hot, and when the boy
came in and while his mother was.
not noticing he went to jump into
the tub with the result stated above.
This is white-clover year. The
roadside, pastures and vacant lots
where not cultivated are covered
with the fragrant blossoms of this
pretty plant as are some old mead
ows. This is a curious vegetation
in some respects. Some years there
will be scarcely plant visible and
in others it dominates all other
grasses. Honey will be of fine
flavor this season in consequence of
the abundance of the white clover
blossoms. The busy bee is busily
employed in storing up sweets ex-
tracted from the flowers of the
white clover.
The band boys were the recipients
of many compliments for their good
work in the presentation of music
on the Fourth. Their playing was
highly commended by all. The
boys have been subjected to pretty
thorough instruction and practice
by Prof. Akers all the season and
their playing shows by improve
ment that pretty good work is being
done. 1t is hoped this band will
stick and persist in practice. A
good band is an advantage to a
town. A town of this size that will
not support good band is deficient
in enterprize-doesn't know a good
thing when it sees it. The band
should be encouraged with liberal
support.

A petition has been in circulation
this week asking the city council to
prohibit the firing of explosives
guns, toy cannons, giant crackers,
etc.-within the city limits. While
this action is much like locking
the door after the horse is stolen"
that other adage, it is better late
than never, may have what virtue
there is in it established in the case.
Assuming that the council grants
the request, it will give us quieter
| Fourth next year. We are apt in
our charity to make too many con-
/ cessions TO the boys in their pur-
suit after fun. We like to see them
have good time and often because
of this charity we do not restrain
them within proper limits. We
suffer ourselves to be annoyed and
even contribute to their liability to
injury. During all of last week
people lived in state of alarm and
nervous tension because of the sud-
den explosion of cannon, guns and
giant crackers. Horses partook of
this alarm even more acutely than
people, which was noticeable in their
nervousness, often in trembling
and sweating. 1t may be seen that
a horse would be suffering when
this fear caused him so much emo
ton as to produce profuse perspira-
ton
