Base Ball.
avenue =.

In one of the fastest games of ball
ever played in the city of Watertown
the "Jumbos'' defeated the Juneau
team at Washington Park Sunday in a
hard fought ten inning game by the
score of l to O. The game was excit-
ing from start to finish and the fielding
of both teams was fast and snappy; not
a misplay MARI ed the work of the local
boys, while the Juneau boys also
felded in fine style There were mer
! on bases in nearly every inning on
both sides which made the game the
more interesting. The .'Jumbosn took
their outs in, beginning the game and the
first man up for Juneau hit for single,
then Wendorf struck out the next two
men and the next went out on fly to
first, and so the game went out in one
two three order on both sides until the
fatal tenth when Neinow was given
first on an error by the catcher, going
to second on the play, then Steinberg
after having two strikes hit for a
single and Neinow came in on the hit
and all was over and the game won by
the 'tJumbos. The game went on
| without kicking and the Juneau boys
proved to be gentlemen in every re-
spect. Wendorf and Lees both pitched
mastery ball and with the splendid
support from their catchers and the
boys back of them they had everything
their own way, the local infeld, Schultz,
Leschinger. McAdams, Keel and Hahn
ielded cleverly, while the outfeld,
Steinberg, Kuenzi and Nienow is fault
less and with Wendorf and Schlueter
as pitchers the team is strong
Following is the score by innings:

The fall of rain was very heavy and
was accompanied by considerable hail
and wind. Some damage to crops and
bridges is reported from the surround
ing country. From other parts Of the
state come reports of heavier losses.
AT Waupaca one farmer was killed and

ford, was wrecked. At Chippewa
Falls number of buildings were un-
rooted and the crops damaged, In the

Exposition Building Burns

The Exposition building at Milwau-
kee, noted for many historic scenes,
was destroyed by fire Sunday evening,
causing a panic among those in the
building and entailing a loss of 5000,
900. The alarm was turned in few
minutes after six o'cloca and an hour
later the building was in ruins.
The tournament of the national skat
congress had just been completed, and
a greater part of the players had left
the building A few of the slow play
ers remained and with the prize Off
cial5 at work preparing the score
cards, there were probably 1900 in the
building. Suddenly someone caught a
glimpse of reddish light in the
southwest gallery above the great cam
vas curtain which formed the roof of
the auditorium. Sergeant Tyre of the
police department aud Captain Koer-
per of the fire department saw at a
glance that the fire had progressed too
far for their efforts. They at once
told the people to leave.

Council FaVOrS West
Side Library Site

At the meeting OF the city council
held Tuesday evening, the Library
Board made report as to its
preferences for a site for the proposed
$4,000 Carnegie library. The
board favored as it's first choice what
is known as the Kennedy property and
city property in First street, opposite
the postoffice and Commercial hotel
Ihls site was given first place by the
board provided the city property
vas vacated. This site would cost
$4,000. being 6Ox1OO feet The second
choice was the Randall corner, west
Main and n. Water streets, which is
66x15S.
The council strongly favors the
Manlgold site, however. at the corner
of Waver and West Main streets, pro-
vided that the same can be purchased
at reasonable figure.
While the east side site NAV be
more centrally located, it certainly is
true that the Manigold place is lar
ger, is corner, is on Main street and
the library building would be far more
conspicuous than at the Kennedy place.

tuberculosis in Cattle.

How to stop the ravages OF tuoer'
culosis in the herds OF dairy cattle IN
this state and how to prevent the
Transmission Of the great white plague
from cattle to human beings through
the use of dairy products, is the sub
iect of an instructive and interesting
bulletin just issued by the Wisconsin
livestock sanitary board.
The prevalence of tuberculosis in
the dairy herds of Wisconsin and the
danger Of transmitting the disease to
human beings through the use OF milk,
butter and cheese is considered a
warrant for alarm by DR.. FL. l.. Russell.
bacteriologist OF the college of agricul-
ture, who is the author of the bulletin.
More than 5000 cattle from the dairy
herds Of Wisconsin have been slaught-
cred within year, because it has been
discovered that they were effected
with tuberculosis. State Veterinarian
E. D. Roberts of GAINESVILLE, co-operat-
inglwith the livestock sanitary board
and the agricultural experiment sta
tion. has applied the tuberculosis test
to herds throughout the state, with the
result that more than 5000 had to be
slaughtered under the law. Many of
olc in dc frnr
which milk was being furnished to
people living in cities. Many others
were from herds, the milk of which
was being sold to creameries and
cheese factories.
The udders of considerable num-
Der of these animals we're affected,
While there is no direct statement in
the bulletin as to the certainty of
transmitting tuberculosis through the
milk of COWS having diseased udders.
it is evident from the tone of the bulle-
tin from beginning to end, that this is
looked upon by Mr.. Russell as the
great danger.
Madison and Beloit have both suf-
fered fright at the startling discoveries
that dairy he.ls which were supplying
many citizens had been found to be
affected with tuberculosis and that the
animals had beenSkilled by the state
veterinarian because of the affection.
Two preventaJives are urged by DR..
Russell in his bulletin. One is that
cities require dairyn.en to take out a
license before they are allowed to sell
milk or dairy products, and that the
city should require before granting the
license that all herds should be SUBJ
jected to the tuberbulin test, The
other preventative is that the dairymen
be required to provide clean and well
ventilated stables for the cattle. The
Investigations conducted by the board
and which are discussed in the bulletin,
show that the herds housed in poorly
ventilated barns have suffered most
from that disease.
