DUBUQUE EAGLES
WIN BALL GAME
Game Was for Benefit Of chIIdren's Home
at ST. Anthony Park

The Dubuque Eagles took the local
aerie down the baseball lire yesterday
afternoon in the downtown park winding
up the afternoon with score of 5 to in
the visitors favor. The game was one of
the fastest amateur exhibitions seen in
St Paul this season, and sensational stops
and plays were the regular thing. The
Sanity eaglets were unable TO hit La
Barge at opportune moments, however.
and all their errors were more or less
costly. La Barge kept his hits Well scat
tered, and while not SO spectacular in his
work as Couette. got away better. Col
lette struck out the visitors without mer-
cy, but once or twice they got to him, and
with the aid of errors were able to take
the long end of the score.
The game was for the benefit of the
Children's home in ST. Anthony Park, and
there was good attendance.

WHEAT GOES SOARING.

Cereal Reaches Highest Price Since
the Famous Letter Deal.
May wheat broke all records for the
last six years in Chicago Friday when
it touched $685. and the excitement
on the Board of Trade, which has been
increasing daily since adverse crop re-
ports began pouring in from the North
west, reached its height. Not since the
famous Letter deal OF 1898. when
wheat sold for Sl.S5, has Fridays figure
been reached
Closing Thursday at $1099s, there
were hundreds of orders in from the big
houses before the Board of Trade gong
struck for the opening Friday morning,
and the first quotation for the day was
81 II, enough of a jump to set the pit
AID galleries wild. On frantic buying
orders from the outsiders. as well as the
professionals, the price went up by leaps
and bounds until 1855 was reached
The big advance was due to the heavy
rains in the Northwest. which viii doubt
less create more rust" and cause even
greater damage than has been reported.
Thomas Shevlin. Minneapolis expert
who returned from that city with a party
of millers who have made tour of in
spection through the Northwest wheat
country, estimates that three States
North Dakota, South Dakota and Mime
sota-will not have a combined yield of
over 100,000000 bushels. This is about
one-half of what was estimated six
weeks ago and had a decided effect upon
the market. The buying of outsiders
and smaller shipments from Argentine
to European ports were also strong fac
tors in the bull movement. Corn, on
the other hand, benefited by the weather
conditions that damaged wheat.

Central american stamps

The stamps of Central American re.
publics have always been favorites
with young collectors The bright col
ors and finely engraved specimens
have made the pages of albums appear
very attractive. The sets of stamps
Issued by some of these countries have
been quite numerous, so that there
has been little difficulty in securing a
representative collection of the various
issues. Such countries as Salvador
have furnished also a large number
of provisional stamps made by the use
of different surcharges. The regular
issues have been printed in many in
stances in the United States, while
the PROFESSIONALS have been manufac-
tured on a printing press in the coun-
try where the stamps have been is
sued. 1t thus happens that some of
these stamps are not discovered by
those making notes of new issues for
the stamp papers, and they, there
fore. may not be found listed in the
catalogues. Collectors who have op-
portunities to secure large numbers of
Central American stamps are fortu-
nate, as they frequently succeed in
finding new and scarce varieties

A Cats Paper Boots.

Did you ever put paper boots on
your cat? That is what Dicks play
mates did to him. l was one Of them,
and it was great fun even for Dick
himself. His feet were tied up in
smooth paper and then he was set
down on the floor. Then a spool tied
to a string was put before him. Dick
loved to play with spools. and was
quick to catch them. He liked to
play ball with them or make believe
they were mice to be tossed or wor-
ried. But when Dick tried to catch
the spool with his paper boots on
it was a funny sight. His legs went
wherever they chose. They did not
care what he wanted at all Each foot
went skating By itself, and left poor
Dick fat on the floor. He kicked.
rolled over and over, and was the
most puzzled cat you ever saw. lie
looked at that lively spool, winked at
it. snatched at it. but could never
catch ii. He thought that it was the
queerest spool he had ever seen, and
that his feet were the queerest things
he had ever owned--St Nicholas.
