FOLEY KNOCKED OUT
Princeton Baseball Team Wins Easy
Victory Over Foley Giants on
Grounds of the Latter.
"Swimming Hole' in Which Game
Was Played Impedes Move
ments of Contestants.

The Princeton Baseball clubs first
game for the season was played on
Sunday, when the boys, accompanied
by about twenty-five rooters with
voices varying from the tones of a
foghorn to the rich treble of an old
maid, drove to Foley and tackled the
favorite sons of that sporty little
town.
When the Princetonians first saw
the stalwart Foley boys lined up at
no matter where-the knees of some
began to tremble while others expe-
rienced difficulty in lifting the water
tumblers to their mouths with any de-
gree of dignity. They we're indeed
sorely nonplussed, they saw their
Waterloo, for in their minds eye
they had conjured up a very different
bunch of ballists.
To cut this story short game
was called in a meadow which to a
casual observer gave the impression
that it had but recently been used for
a swimming hole from which the boys
had forgotten to dip the water. How
ever, the game went on in all it's fury.
Up to knees in water the two mines
scrambled and stumbled, perspired
and swore, while the rooters produced
a bedlam which struck terror to the
hearts of visitors and drove many a
fair maiden who stood on the fence
into the arms Of her gentleman com.
panion for consolation. 1t was in.
deed, as our friend Schmitz said,
''some tremendous games, already.'
In the fourth inning the contestants,
almost petered out, stopped five
minutes for refreshments. Muddy,
drenched and dilapidated, at the ex.
piration of this period they resumed
the fray. Umpires swayed to and frc
in mudholes, captains beloved, root.
ers rooted--and women shrieked, but
the undaunted antagonists continued
TO play ball until the ninth inning was
completed. The scorekeepers then
compared statistics and decided that
Princeton had won. Result, 13 to 8.
The score by innings was as fol-
lows:

EXCITING RUNAWAY.

August Gerth's Team Gallops Through
Main Street and Snaps of Light Pole.
Considerable excitement was caused
on Monday morning by a runaway
team belonging to August Gerth. The
horses started from point near Kal-
iher & Galvin's livery stable and
started down Main street at a full
gallop. Outside of Peterson g. Mel
sons blacksmith shop stood the
buggy of VIM. Westling, the horse
from which had been detached to have
it shod. The horses in their onrush
struck this buggy and damaged it to
the extent of about twelve dollars, but
the impact failed to make any impress
sion upon the team. Taking the mid
die Of the road they sped on at furi-
Gus rate until they reached Evens'
hardware store, where they drew
near the opposite curb and collided
with an arc-light pole, splitting it in
two about midway between top and
bottom. The collision liberated the
hOrseS from the wagon and they
darted on for a short distance, when
one OF them ran squarely into the cor
ner of house and was laid out. The
other animal continued in it's flight
until it reached Woodman's barn,
where it was captured. At first it was
thought that the horse which struck the
house had fatally injured itself, but
within a short time it rallied and ap-
1parently sustained nos bad results.
The wagon was also found to have
received no material damage.
At the time of the runaway the
streets were lined with teams and a
swerve of the horses either to the
right or left would doubtless have
caused considerable destruction.

Finger Crushed Beneath Window Sash.

ringer CrusneO beneath window SASH.
Miss Nellie Libby, while waiting for
another teacher at Milaca on Satur-
day, raised window sash. The sash,
having no weights attached, fell with
a crash and pinioned the little finger
of Miss Libby's left hand-the finger
at the time being closed-underneat
it. To give an idea of the manner in
which Miss Libby's finger was wedged
beneath the sash it is but necessary
to state that it required the united
efforts of two men to raise the window
and extricate it. While the finger is
badly crushed, DR.. Olson of Milaca,
whom Miss Libby consulted, thinks
that the member may be saved.

A story recently told by Thomas
Hunter, president of the New York
normal college, seems to indicate that
once in while a willing wife is
spoiled to make an unwilling teacher.
A pretty and agreeable young wo-

VIM. J. Bryan.
William Jennings Bryan, easily the

produced since the days of Thos. JEFF

ISSUE
The Only Moral Issue.
We and we only among the pol

these vital civic truths demand. The
dominant political parties do not even
claim to present such principles.

Yet so much depends upon you.
You do your dead level best. You

The Enrolment.
Voters are to be enrolled to sup
port the Prohibition party or to sup
port it's legislative nominees. The
first declaration, of course, includes
the second. The form of enrolment
is not that of pledge or promise,
but a plain, manly declaration on the
part of the voter as to his present in
tention. He in no wise jeopardizes
his citizenship. Change of conditions
or of heart leaves him free.

Theodore Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt president OF
the United States, although officially
engrossed in seeking to make his
own party redeem it's campaign
pledges on matters of commercial in
terest, still appreciates that far
greater than any of these questions
is the problem for which the Prohibi-
ton party stands. In a recent ad-
dress he said,
There is a certain tendency to eXalt
the uneSsential in dealing with the public
questions, and public men especially are
apt to get their attention concentrated on
questions that nave an importance, pu5
with the question that goes straight to

the leading nominees were obliged to
rush into print to deny the statements
that were current everywhere that the
platforms of the two parties were
Identical But even the imaginary
line that divides them on national is
sues vanishes utterly in state politics.
But the Prohibition party presents
vital state issues. No other party
presents to the people any question
which involves civic morality or the
vital interests of the home.
George Washington.
George Washington in his address
which mas become one of the great
state classics of the nation said.
There is no truth more thoroughly
established than that there exists in the
economy and course of nature an indissol-
uble union between virtue and happiness,
between duty and advantage, between the
genuine maxims of an honest and magnan-
imous policy and the solid rewards of
public prosperity and felicity; since we
ought to be no less persuaded, that the
proportions smiles of Heaven can never
be expected on a nation that disregards
the eternal rules of order and right, which
Heaven itself has ordained"
Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln, the most collos-
sal figure in the politics of the world
for the past three or four centuries
said in speech in Springfield in
1912,
"In it, (the destruction of the saloon)
we shall find a stronger bondage broken,
a viler slavery manumitted, a greater ty-
rant deposed-in it more of want supplied,
more diseases healed, more sorrow as
suaged. And when the victory shall be
complete-when there shall be neither a

truly claim to be the birthplace and the
cradle of both those revolutions that shall
have ended in that victory"
