money warrant it this fall, the
capital will be increased again,

NIGHT GAME OF BALL

When the announcement was first
made that base ball game would be
played in this city at night, this
week, it was believed to be some sort
of pipe dream, the invention of
someone who had been seeing things.
but it appears that it was not the
result of someone's fancy getting the
best Of them, but fact. The game
is billed for Wednesday evening, to
be called at eight o'clock. The
coming team is called the Cherokee
Indians, and they bring their own
fence, grand stand, and electrical
apparatus. according TO the bills. and
are real red men from the wild and
woody west. A large number of
people from here will undoubtedly
attend the game, as much from the
novelty of seeing base ball game at
night, as from wanting to see any
playing.

THE LAST NOTICE

Persons wanting their mail deliver
ed will please secure numbers right
away, and have them placed upon
your homes and business places. We
cannot get free delivery until your
houses are numbered, the streets are
fully named, and sidewalks built
where the inspector indicated they
should be, on his last visit. The city
authorities know where thuse places
are. When they are all ready, We will
be glad to notify Mr.. Frasier. the in
spector. who promised us that he
would come and lay out the free
delivery districts as soon as the city
authorities had made the improve
ments named. They are not now all
ready, and we cannot say that they
are. The sooner these things are at.
tended to, the earlier we will have
free delivery. II they are allowed tc
drag along and be neglected, we ma y
not get it till spring. We hope that oul
citizens will appreciate the necessity
OF these changes for the purpose of
obtaining free delivery. This is about
the last time anything will be said in
this paper as to the things necessary
for this service. 1t has been called to
the attention of those responsible a
number of times, and it is entirely up
to them as to whether we get the
service or not.

SINGERS AND INSURANCE.
Rates for the Women Are No Highe
Than Those for the
Men

When the longevity of women sing.
ers of the first rank is compared with
their male colleagues no one will won.
der that insurance rates for women
are no higher than for men, observes
writer in the Musical Courier. Pat
II, Nilsson, Lucca, Gerster, Materna
and Lilli Lehman are living, while
most Of the tenors who sung with
these prima dome in their prime
have been gathered with the saints.
Campaninf, Nicolini, Alvary, Niemann,
Brignoi are mere echoes. The six
famous sopranos, heaven bless them!
continue to let their light shine in one
way and another.
Patti, who was 62 years old Feb
ruary last, gave recently her annual
concert in London. Nilsson, who
lacks six months of PATHS age, re-
sides in Paris and usually spends her
summers in Sweden. Lucca, now ga
is teaching in Vienna. Gerster, born
in 1857, and the youngest of the six,
conducts a vocal school in Berlin.
Materna, born in 1S47, has suffered
financial reverses and it is said that
she will enter the ranks of singing
teachers. Lehman, the handsomest
OF the six, is in her 57th year. Her
home is near Berlin and in addition
to her teaching she sings occasionally
as "gast" in the German opera houses.
The thrifty Tamango is living at
his villa in Italy. AS all the world
knows, Jean de Reszke is in Paris
and is now teaching the art of which
he is a great exponent.

REALLY CAUSE FOR WONDER
1nfrequency Of Confusion of Words
OF Similar Meaning in Writ
ing English.

When We take into consideration
the millions of times in which Law and
lie are COMPOUNDED in popular speech.
and the petty number of instances
OF such confusion that can be cleaned
from the most exhaustive study of all
our great authors, we recognize, writes
Prcf. t. r. Lounsbury, in Harper's
Magazine, what 1t is that constitutes
that consensus Of which Ouintilian
speaks as the authority to which we
al have to submit.
No better proof indeed is there of
the right to rule which inheres In the
collective body of great authors than
the fact that so few errors of this sort
occur in the heat Of composition or
pass unchallenged in revision. The
wonder must always be, not that they
happen, but that they happen so rare
ly. Least OF all should linguistic stu
dents make their appearance, If they
do appear, matter of reproach, when
We find similar confusion between
set and sit in the writings of a pro-
fessed philOlogist. The late George
Perkins Marsh was one of the foremost
promoters Of English scholarship. To
the students OF the former generation
his works did more than furnish in
struction; they were an inspiration.
Yet In the second of his lectures on
the English language he speaks of a
person giving "a cluck with his mouth
not unlike the note of a setting hem"
One would naturally suppose that a
linguistic scholar. who was in addition
q stern critic of usage, ought to know
sooner than anyone else that, though
anybody can set hen, the hen herself
sits. The confusion of the two verbs
Is. however, SO common in onyersa-
ton that 1t is liable at any time to
appear In print. The only thing re-
parkable about the example Just given
- that 1t should occur where 1t does.

This shows the county to contain
a little above $4,000 inhabitants, a
gain OF about twenty per cent, or five
thousand in five years. There is not a
town nor village that has lost in popula-
tion; though some have not gained very
much. all have gone ahead, record
for the state, according to accounts
that have been published. The ap-
pended list shows that there are POS
old soldiers in the county and 5,2O4
men capable of entering the militia.
Though drafted fighting force would
be some above this number, the
figure represents approximately the
number of lighting men this county
could furnish in case of war.
We are glad to note that the semi
authentic figures, while they are a
little below the first reports of the
population of Grand Rapids, show US
to be more than hundred persons in
number larger than our neighbor,
Marshfeld. That town has, for a
long time taken great pleasure in
calling attention to the fact that it
was larger than Grand Rapids, but
that time is at an end, for the county
seat is now the largest city in the
county by 1913 persons, or on an aver
age of twenty-five families, enough to
operate large factory. We feel
sorry for our little neighbor, but then
it isn't as we'll located as Grand

RIVALS OF DON COSSACK.
Russian Cavalry May Be Recruited
by Trained Natives Of Gen.
trail Asia.

Gen. SkObeleff, in urging further ag-
gressions in central Asia on the part
OF Russia, once drew glowing picture
of the hordes Of Asiatic cavalry which
would thus be rendered available at
some future day for an assault upon
india. One needs, says Scribner'a
Magazine, but to watch such a game
as this to realize the force Of his
words and the potentiality Of these
new resources Of the car. The horses
are the tenderly reared descendants OF
those which carried Tamerlane and his
victorious army from Samarcand to the
Nile, from the Nile almost to Constan-
tinople, and from Asia Minor to the
gates of Moscow and back again to
Samarcand. They are large, strong and
fleet and full Of endurance, showing
many traces OF Arabian blood and still
more, perhaps, of that Of the now al.
most extinct Turokman steed.
Their sleek coats and rounded bodies
show how carefully they are watched
over, each one the pride Of its owner
who Is himself born horseman and
born judge Of horsef1esh. Add to this
the fact that if the native of contra.
Asia has in the past developed a repu-
tation for fanaticism he has shown
himself 1ndisputably brave. Russia
needs but the time necessary to train
her new subjects and to render them
loyal to herself to have at her disposa
q force the DOWer Of which for sucf
purposes as that of the invasion Of
Afghanistan cannot be overestimated
The second Of the points, the overcom
ing OF religious and racial prejudice
she has already done much to attain by
surprisingly wide system of paterna
government. The first will follow
within two or three decades, and when
that, too. has been reached the czal
will have at his disposal a new force
more efficient, more terrible and almost
as numerous as her Cossacks.

BATTLEFIELD TELECRAPHY.
Communication Kept UP Between
Divisions Even While on
the Move.

Field telegraphs for use in military
operations have been open to the OBJ
lection that a cumbersome apparatus
has been required to lay the cable,
the insulated wires being wound upon
a large drum and slowly paid Que as
the carrying wagon advanced.
Capt. Edward Molineux, of the East
Indian service, has perfected device
for laying a very fine cable from
horseback, and in practice marches 1t
has been found possible to keep in
Geographic communication with other
divisions even while on the move.
The wire can be paid out while the
mount proceeds at hard gaIlop, and
may be reeled in again as rapidly as it
was paid out.
Wireless devices are coming rapidly
into use but there are many features
to be overcome before such appliances
will be found thoroughly practicable,
and meanwhile this ingenious inven-
ton will serve many valuable ends.
