National Song of Japan.

The Japanese national anthem is
the Oldest in existence and probably
the shortest. It is known as "Kimi-
gayo," and translated into English
is as follows.
May the reign of our sovereign en-
dure for 1000 years, and for 5000 be-
yond that, until stones are not rocks
any more, nor moss any longer grows
thickly.''
Although the song is of great an
tiquity, it has been the national an
them of Japan only since that country
began to Westernize itself,

TOWN ELECTION ECHOES.

Methods of Electing Chairman-Ti3 Votes
and Other Matters.
The town elections are over and the
official machinery of the various towns
and villages has been set in motion
for another year. The Union gives
this week all the late reports from
towns in Mile Laos and surrounding
country We sent out printed postal
cards to all clerks with request to
have the returns sent in. and in all
cases the town clerks have been very
obliging and courteous in the matter
and we feel under obligations to them
for their kindness.
In constituting the new law regarding
the election of supervisors there was
some difference of opinion as to the
proper way of electing the chairman.
In most cases tickets were made up
with the chairman as the three-year
man, but it seems that in some cases
the rule was not observed. In South
Harbor, town of Milaca and the town
of Baldwin the one-year man was
chosen chairman, while in the town of
Isle Harbor the two-year man was
elected chairman. =
In the town of Isle Harbor there
was tie vote for chairman and the
same thing also happened in the town
of Milaca.
It was the opinion of some that the
road overseers should all be voted for
on the ballot, and that the ballots
should have all candidates by road
districts. In the town of Bogus Brook
the tickets were printed in this manner
while in most all other towns the road
overseers were chosen in the 'good
old way It is said that in Aitkin
county this matter was brought up and
that the county attorney gave it as his
opinion that all ballots would have to
be printed in that way. The law was
somewhat blind as to the manner of
voting for these very town officers but
as the people are sit" whatever way
the road overseers were elected will
stand as good law and form.
In the town of Springvale over in
Isanti county the proposition to have
a township graded school was voted
down by a vote of five for and forty
seven against. Evidently they don It
want any change in the manner of
making the young ideas shoot over

BASIL BALL. CHAT
FOR CAIRO FANS

The champions made 1t thret
straight yesterday from the "Sene
Diggers' making the sixth successive
& game that they have captured.
Ppomnf1nary to the real game there
was hostile encounter between
Pitcher Doll and Umpire Shuster,
which reminded the spectators Of q
"cow kicking at bantam rooster,
as one OF the Bugs" seated in the
Palace Of Fans aptly expressed it in
describing the unpleantness.
The affair might have seemed COM
ical to this Bug but Shuster was
badly injured in the stomach by the
plates on the soles of Dolls shoes, in
addition to receiving some damage to
his right optic. Doll was struck once
on the chin receiving slight cut.
4 III The contest between the two teams
developed that there is a revival of
Y the fierce hatred that they felt for
each other last year. Even the spec.
tatOrs seemed to enter into the spirit
OF rivalry.
Possibly two things are prominently
connected with this revival. The first
il based upon the visitors expecta
tions of winning two out of three
games played, as expressed at Padu-
cab just before coming to Cairo. The
second cause lies in the fact of the
desire and ambition that possessed
Big Doll to beat his old team mates.
having lost those games he has SO
far pitched against them. Ambition is
certainly laudable. Especially when
backed up by the willingness to work
to attain that ambitious desire. Thii
desire led to the trouble between the
umpire and the great 'itcher as the
latter after losing a great thirteen
inning game on Sunday came back in,
TO the box again yesterday, feeling
greatly irritated with grave but I'M
