ADMITS DISMAL FAILURE.
Racine journal States That the Racine
Base Bali Team May Be Disbanded.

Racine journal States That the Racine
Base Ball Team May Be Dlsbanded.
Base ball, the great national game,
is not drawing the crowds in Racine
this year, as in seasons gone by.
Where there used to be from 1,5O0 to
200 present at Sunday games the av-
erage attendance is now not over 500.
There must be some reason for this
lack of interest. The management Of
the team is making an effort to ascer-
tain the cause. Perhaps it may be the
fact that every local player in Racine,
except Jack Ole, has been let out of
the club; then again the directors of
the Interstate league decided to charge
an admission fee for ladies; again
Peter Hermann, probably one Of Ra-
cine's most popular players, was not
re-engaged on account of misunder-
standing about salary and he went to
Kenosha and on account of kick has
been released and may sit on the bench
for the balance of the year.
That the management of the Racine
team is discouraged at the poor sup
port given the team there is no deny
ing and unless it picks up the team
will no doubt be given up and tie
Belle City will be without ball nine
Up to date the management has gone
in the hole and not much more money
is to be put in. Should the team go to
pieces and Kenosha pull out of the
league, that means the disbandonment
of the league.
In such an event 9 the Racine S
throwing up the sponge it possibly
means the adjustment Of the Athletic
tracks and grounds. For long time
the advisability of the grounds being
plated into lots has been contemplated

Western Telephone and Construction
Company at Winthrop HarbOr to
Build the KenOsha Exchange.
INSISTS EXCHANGE TO BE BUILT.
Company VIII Meet on Next wednesday to
Make Arrangements For the Model
Exchange in Kenosha.

The recent secret ia regard to the
changes in the stockholders Of the
Citizens Telegraph and Telephone
Company in Kenosha has been solv-
ed and it is now announced that the
company which is back of the move to
build an independent exchange is the
Western Telephone and Construction
Company which has its central Offices
in Chicago and its plant at Winthrop
Harbor. For several days past rumors
have been going the rounds that the
company would not build an exchang e
in Kenosha and that the formation Of
the company had been for the purpose
of aiding sthe Bell Telephone to hold
on to the monopoly which it has had
for so many years in Kenosha. This
rumor is Indignantly denied by the
organizers Of the company and it is
said that the stockholders of the new
company will meet in Chicago on next
Wednesday and make final arrange
ments for the installing of the ex-
change in Kenosha.
The Winthrop Harbor company has
been recently re-organized on a busi-
ness basis and the present managers
of it are well known business men in
Chicago. These are the men that have
secured control Of the stock of the Ke-
nosha company and as this city is
within few miles of the plant Of the
company it is said THAT the company
will build a model plant here. The
work of laying the conduits should
have been started by this time but it is
claimed that this work has been delay
ed by the reorganization Of the COM
pany.
During the last two days the Getty has
been over run with representatives Of
both the Chicago and Wisconsin Tele-
phone companies and these men have
been making every effort to advance
the business of their company iii the
city. They have personally Investigate
ed complaints of the service and have
given assurance that all of these de-
fects will be corrected within the next
few days.
James Cavanagh who was instru.
mental in the formation of the new
company says that he has been assur-
ed that the new company will carry
out every agreement made to the city.
While the city is not in way secur-
ed that the exchange will be put in
Mr.. Cavanagh states that there will be
no trouble IN that line as the company
is assured that the exchange will prove
a paying business.
The street PAYERS will begin work on
Church street in another week and
they will not waste any time waiting
for the company to place their con-
Quits in the street.

Butcher Family Refuse to Allow Town
Of Pleasant Prairie to Inter Dead
Horses on Lake Shore.
BIG LEGAL FIGHT EXPECTED.
Town Board and Owners of Property Have
Employed Attorneys and Unique
Fight Is Expected.


Three dead horses whose carcasses
repose on the burning sands Of the
lake shore near the golf grounds and
whose bleaching bones have value of
seventy-five cents each promise to
furnish the animus Of one the most
unique legal fights ever knownin Ke-
nosha county. The horses innocent
enough during their lives have already
furnished an abundance of trouble for
the people residing along the lake but
their disinterred remains promise to
furnish even more trouble,
The town Of Pleasant Prairie was
recently requested by the city to see that
the bones were properly buried and
after due deliberation the members of
the town board ordered one of the
members to see to it that the carcasses
were buried The man armed with a
power shovel recently went to the lake
shore TO attend to the work when he
was confronted with a new and differ
ent problem. The property is owned
by the Butcher family aud when the
representative of the town board went
to get a key to the gate to bury the
horses he was informed that he could
not bury the carcasses until he had paid
to the Butchers the sum of one dollar
each for the burial. In the meantime
the bleaching remains of the equines
were belching forth a stencil which
made it almost impossible for the
people in the neighborhood to remain
in their homes. The town board at
once consulted Attorney Peter Fisher
in the matter and the members Of the
Butcher family secured the services of
Attorney Robert Verne Baker. The
Butcher family now claims that the
.carcasses have financial value on &C
count of the fact that the bones when
bleached by the sun and washed by
the rains have financial value. On
this claim the members of the family
have refused to allow the interment.
The town board stands ready to do
its duty and if the Butcher family in
sist on the point they have raised ac-
ton will at once be started to have the
carcasses declared nuisance and the
people on whose land they are now re-
posing will be forced to either remove
them or bury them without expense to
the town.
1t is claimed that the members of the
Butcher family have received money
for the use of the lake shore as pub
lie burying ground for dead animals
and If this is a fact the attorneys claim
that they cannot possibly charge for
the burial of the remains.

DEATH OF REV w. D.

DEATH OF REVW. D. HERRICK.
Rev w. D. Herrick, who died, last
week, at Amherst, Mass, began his
ministry in the Congregational church
here, in 1860. He was the son of Ar
temus and Phebe Herrick of Methuen,
and was born in that town on March
26, 1881. He fitted for college at At
kinson academy, and entered Yale in
the fall of 1858, and remained one year,
when he went to Amherst college and
was graduated from that institution
in the class of 1857. He then spent
two years at Andover theological sem.
mary, and was ordained at Redding,
on January Is, 1860, and preached there
for four years. He was pastor of the
First church of Gardner, from 1864 to
1867, and of the North Congregational
church in Amherst from 1867 to 1874,
when he returned to Gardner, where
he remained till 1882. Since that
time he has lived in Amherst. Very
soon after taking up his residence in
the town he opened a boarding school
for feeble-minded boys and girls, which
he had since conducted. His school
has become well known and is consid-
cred of very high grade in its class.

The Surgeon OF our forces
Had worked all night to FIX
''LObelia" for the wounded.
For the dying mo. g."
THE MARCH.
After our melancholy smile
We started full OF courage
For the scene OF OWL war.
Armed and equipped for bloodshed,
Each man held in his grippe
A ''pepper-box revolver"
And "cider whisky snipe.'
THE ARRIVAL.
We reached the top of "Barnum's Ill.,"
Devoid of doubt or fear
A six-horse wagon in the van,
Our Chaplain in the rear.
Beneath us were the people
OF ''old New Fairfield Town."
And streaming from pole 1.-The flag
We thought of taking down.
COUNCIL OF WAR.
Now who shall lead our forces?
Come, Judge! we'll follow thee.
So spake the lengthy horsemen,
But the Judge did not agree.
mo! MOI" he said, my comrades,
Give the Constable the van!
My place. If I'm killed, can ne'er be filed.
The the constable objected;
With the Judge l can't agree;
Your life may be dear to:the people
But mine is dear to me-
Now while the leaders fa1tered,
A youth, who with us came,
Cried out. Make me your chieftain.
And l will block their game
THE ONSET.
Then we marched in solemn silence,
Towards where the foe Assem- bled,
Our souls wrought up to such high deeds,
That our puny bodies trembled.
Our leader mounts the 'Hickory,"
But see! our cheeks turn pale,
Some stalwart son of Charcoal Rum"
His coat grases by the tail
Then heads were punched and jaws we're
Like men who have the mumps;
We found, alas, in Charcoal Games.
That sometimes Spades are trumps."
THE PANIC
Then on the "Bean Town Army
Game terror and alright;
Lobela wavered on the left,
The Judge upon the right
Our Chaplain dashed his spawned steed.
Into q furious run;
His driving was like Jehu's,
The ancient Nimshi's son.
The Surgeon scaled the sleepy hill,
with a pair Of tSic * New Fairfield boots
Assisted in his rear.
In panic fear the Constable
To fight for safety took.
Scaling length OF lawful fence,
And swimming dangerous brook.
The learned Judge much discomposed,
Fled North out OF the brawl,
And came home as he told US,
BY way of Montreal
To add to our misfortune
Upon that fatal sod,
Quite early in the battle
The "rebels" took our ':Tod.''
But our Justice is a genius,
And the thought upon him came;
can escaped from this sad scrape
If deny my name.
IT'S said when they released him.
His running was su blime;
His speed display ON that upgrade
Beat Flora s" fastest time. ~
So ended the great battle.
Around the Hickory Tree"
And when they have another,
May l be there to see."
MORAL:
Now We who would gain laurels,
Upon "New Fairfield hills,'
Be sure your moral courage
Is equal to your wills.
