Nice Game Of Ball.

The base ball season opened here
last Sunday afternoon at the new park
in the southeast part Of this city.
The largest crowd that has ever turn
ed out to witness a ball game was
on the grounds and while the home
team did not line up as favorable
as expected it was clearly demon
strated that Versailles has the material
for a frst-class team after they get
down to work on the diamond.
The game was contested with the
Bronchos Of Glensted, captained by
Dan Bowen, his battery being Taylor
Bowen and Walt Daniels. The odd
feature with this team Was that the
two Bowens, Daniels Bros, Ball Bros.
and Stockton Bros. made up the play
ers with George Ratcfnfe as the ninth
man, but they are the finest aggrega-
tlOn tIc NloICduo HdNS CNSt lillNu up
on the diamond. They are big
stout fellows and handle themselves
nimbly in their positions.
The Versailles team lined up with
Stephens. Ross. Richard. Trautwine,
Blackwell, Livingston. Murphy. Jones,
Nelson, Yeager, Kidwcll and koet-
ting. This was their first game to-
gether and many changes in position
had to be made before the boys got
down to business. The Bronchos
took advantage Of this and slugged
the ball in all directions, making a
strong lead from the start, piling up a
big score which Versailles we're unable
to overcome. After the third inning
the game simmered down to an even
match and gave the spectators an in
teresting contest.
The score stood "a to IL at the
close in favor of the BronChos owing
to their lead in the first three innings.
but in future games the players will be
punched and a number Of changes
will be made so that the score will be
held down. Murphy, Yeager and
and kidwell were the battery for the
home team, but all pitchers seemed
to look alike to the Bronchos, as they
had their smuggling clothes IN.
Prof. Stith umpired the game and
pleased everyone on the grounds with
his fair decisions, DIR. lutman %reliev-
ing him by his own consent near the
close Of the game. Every feature of
the contest was agreeable, not a dis
creditable act having been introduced
to disgust the patrons. Trautwine and
Richard proved the stars of the home
team. and while Versailles went down
to defeat they are not discouraged
and will try the Bronchos again Sum
day afternoon at the same place with
a better line up.

was picked up and carried home and

internal injuries. Prompt relief was
administered and by careful nursing
her condition is improving, but it
was a narrow escape from fatal results.

THE GENERAL OFFICES
OF the Mineral Point and North
crn Railway Company
REGULARLY OPENED FOR BUSINESS
In Rooms Formerly Occupied by
Mineral Point Railroad
Company.

A child could tell from the general
appearance of things inside the walls
of the old depot building at Mineral
Point that preparations have been
made for transactlng a largely in
creased volume of business at the old
stand. The office and waiting room
of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway, on the first floor, bears the
the same general appearance as of
recent years with a progressive and
business like air strongly in evidence.
But on the second floor very great
change has taken place. The rooms
used a good many years ago by the
Mineral Point Railroad Co have
been fitted Up as general offices for
the Mineral Point and Northern Rail-
way, and are occupied by c. w.
McIlhon, president; w. A. Jones,
general manager: and James +. Ayl-
ward, auditor. The well known char
acter of the men in charge promises
we'll for the permanent success of the
new railway enterprise. They are
men Of fair dealing who wear well
and who succeed in all their under
takings. They have fine line of
road, the construction and operation
of which will greatly benefit Iowa and
LAFAYETTE counties. There is no spec
tacularism about railway business in
Mineral Point, but in a quiet way
arrangements are being made for
greater carrying trade and larger
commercial transactions.

RubberS
for
Snow

The poets may write about beauti-
full snow, but to everyday people
a fall of snow suggests rubbers.
Rubbers are made in several
qualities. In the cheaper grades
the rubber is adulteratcd-that is
why they wear out so soon.
Some dealers sell poor rubbers at
good pr ces, others sell poor rub
bers at low prices, while still
others handle only the No. ]
quality and sell them at the lowest
prices possible.
We sell No. l rubbers only. The
No. and No. 3 grades are cheap,
but, oh, so dear.

OLSEN REBUKED.

Anoka Free Press: Since when has
the State superintendent of schools
been authorized to create holidays to
be observed in the public schools?
This inquiry is prompted by the order
issued by Supt. Olsen last week, that
the public schools of Minnesesa! On
Monday, April 3, commemorate the
birthday anniversary of Hans Chris
tian Anderson, Danish poet and
author of Anderson's Fairy Tales. !"
The fact that Supt. Olsen is himself a
Dane, would hardly seem to confer
upon him such authority, inasmuch as
this is the United States of America
and not Denmark, Ireland, Germany
or any other foreign country.

The legislature is to be congratu-

The legislature is to be congratu-
lated on passing the code: It may
contain many errors, but the proba-
bilities are that it is a reasonably
sound enactment, and in it's present
shape way ahead of the heterogeneous
mass of laws the State was loaded
down with before the revision commits
sion began it's work. The code can
receive the finishing touches and what
little polishing is necessary later. In
the future if ambitious lawmakers will
only swear Off from introducing so
many unnecessary and uncalled for
measures, it will be long while be-
fore we will need another code COM

Not q Very Speedy Trial.

Mike Norwitski of Willow River
who was indicted by the grand jury
for getting goods under false pre-.
lenses, and was placed under $500
bonds, has been in the Princeton
lookup since court adjourned, and so
far has been unable to furnish bonds.
Unless he can procure the same he
will have to remain in the Hennepin
county Jail until the next term OF
court which does not convene until
next October. Norwitski it is claimed
has wife and family near Willow
River, and the question arises whether
by the early adjournment of court.
and the long interim before the fall
term, the prisoner is not in line for a
habeas corpus. This is not giving a
man a trial according to constitu-
tional provisions.

An increase in the State tax levy is
unavoidable, but the appropriations
should be kept within bounds. Why
should there he a. general increase of

SAM JOHNSON SICK,

Two years ago when the legislative
committee on public accounts and ex-
penditures was getting ready to do a
little investigating in the public exam
iner's Office, Mr.. S. T. johnson then
public examiner) suddenly faded from
view, and it was given out by his
press bureau that he was threatened
with nervous prostration and had
gone to the Pacific slope to recuper-
ate. Immediately after the legisla-
ture adjourned Mr.. johnson regained
his health and was at the capitol CON
.cocting political schemes and attend
ing to everybody's business save his
own.
Again the legislature is in session,
again an inquisitive Legislative com
mittee wants Mr.. Johnson to explain
apparent Irregularities in connection
with his administration of the public
examiners Office, and again it is her.
aided in the twin city papers that
Mr.. Johnson sis dangerously ill''-
that his life is trembling in the bal
ance!" And yet it is only few DAYS
since Mr.. Johnson, through brother
in-law McLain in, the columns Of the
dirty Journal, was demanding that he
should be permitted to appear before
the committee on public accounts and
expenditures and defend his REPORTS
on the State auditors Office. In fact,
modest Mr.. Johnson was astounded
when he learned that the committee had
dared to take a single step until he
could be present. Now, the commit
tee is anxious to have Mr.. Johnson
do some "explaining'' on his own &C.
count, but, 10 and behold, he is ':dan.
gerously ill., and cannot respond to
the committees subpoena!
- Several years since Mr.. Johnson
was taken suddenly ill' in New
York. Certain unfeeling insurance
men we're the cause of his illness.) An
astute Minneapolis lawyer, Bert Hall,
successfully prescribed for him. But
that is another story which may be
given in detail later.
