"JES SCO0PED EN- UP"
Merrill Team Fairly Carried off
Their Feet by the Grand Rapids
Base Ball Team.

The game of base bali at Merrill
between the team from that city and
our local boys resulted in decided
yictery. for the Grand Rapids con-
tingent. The score was IL TO 3
There was an unusual crowd of reuters
from this city in attendance and it is
said by all who were there that the
local boys put up'a game that would
have done credit to any minor league
team. The play was fast and accurate
from the start, and it is said that the
Merrilites lost their courage just as
soon as the local aggregation got into
practice work before the game. There
were many brilliant plays during the
progress of the game, and the great
portion OF the praise seems to tend liz
the direction of Bandeline, who it is
said played star game on first
Brennan twirled for the local boys,
and secured nine Strike-Outs.
1t is said that the Merrill boys
played a good game, and their battery
was excellent, but in spite of their
good work they were only able to score
one run in the first inning, and two in
the last. The local aggregation are
laviShed in their praise of the eX-
cellenu entertainment accorded them
at Merrill, and great things are looked
for when these same two teams cross
bats Saturday on the old Fair grounds
in this city. Every body will be on
hand to encourage the aggregation
which is now attracting so much at
tention in the base ball world.

Lenroot for Harmony. Would
Not Sacrifice Principle

Irvine L. Lenroot, candidate !or
the Republican nomination for
governor, in a recent speech,
among other things said:
THE time is past in this country,
at least it is past in Wisconsin,
when men are chosen for public
positions as a reward for party
service. 1t is no longer to put
man in public office because some
one says that he is entitled to the
office, but public officials are
chosen today in Wisconsin be-
cause they stand for something,
because the people look to them to
perform some certain service.
"The struggle in Wisconsin is
not over. There is still much to
be done. The same control which
we have provided for the railroads
must be applied to other corpora
tons, to street railway companies,
to gas and electric lighting COM
panies. And do not be misled
into thinking that when this line of
legislation comes up before the
Legislature next winter that there
will be no opposition. There will be
just as bitter opposition to this as
there has been in the last four
years to the taxation bill, the prim-
airy law and the railroad commiss-
ion law. When these matters
come before the legislature, the
lobby will be there fighting for the
companies just as bitterly and per
sistently as it fought the other
measure. And after all the fight
in Wisconsin has not been SC
much for the primary election law
the taxation measures and the
railway commission law as it has
been for the principle that the
people shall control their own
government insteadt of the cor
porations. ! have heard it said
that now there is nothing to fight
o,'er we should have harmony ir
the Republican party. I don't
think it is right or fair to attempt
to lull the people to sleep wher
issues of such importance are pen
ding. Every city in the state
where there is a public service
corporation, knows what these
issues are, and you know how
necessary it is that there should
be regulation and control of these
corporations.
| am for harmony. l don't
think there ever ought to have
been any trouble in the Republi
can party in the first place. But
am not for harmony so long as
there is fight on the principles
which we have fought for anc
established in this state by en-.
acting them into law

'SHOCKEDBY LIGHTNING
Mrs. E. H. StOddard suffers very
much as a Result OF Shock
Received last Thursday.

The electric and rain storm that
ragged in this locality last Thursday
caused very much inconvenience and
no little amount Of damage.
Perhaps the E. H. StOddard home,
2lS Ninth street south, was the most
effected III the city, for the lightning
not only ruined the chimney, electric
lights and telephone, but the shock
was so severe that Mrs. Stoddard, who
was in the house at the time it was
struck, has not entirely recovered as
yet. For two or three days after the
accident, Mrs. S0oddard was confined
to her bed, and she still suffers great
deal from nervousness directly result
ing.
The flag staff on the Court House
was cut off close to the tower, and the
lightning followed short way into
the tower itself cutting a hole. in
the roof. Several windows in the
neighborhood of the Howe school were
also broken,
A number of trees around town
were splintered, but the work of the
lightning is more apparent among
the trees in the Forest Hill cemetery
One large pine, located in the eastern
section of the cemetery, was cut of
about twenty feet from the ground
and the stump was split completely tC
