The Willow City base ball team
seem to think that they did not get a
square deal from umpire DR.. Mont
gomery of Overly, in the game they
played with Omemee on the Fourth.
It is pity that any dispute should
arise over any decision of an umpire
in any game as athletic and out of
door sports of every kind should be
encouraged; but the Willow boys
thought they had a kick coming and
exercised their right to do so il an
emphatic manner. DR.. D. K. Thyng,
as upmire for the game played between
Overly and Kramer at Omemee on the
Fourth, gave general satisfaction. The
DR.. is an old time player and knows
the rules of the game and when he acts
as umpire the boys, on either side.

visitors in Willow and took in the
celebration at Omemee on the Fourth.

Since the primaries politics and
politicians il this end Of the county
have been very quiet. There does not
seem to be any thing doing. There
seems to be, however, a general con.
cession that the democratic party has
a good fighting chance, not only in the
county but in the State at the coming
election in November. Certainly that
party has been continually consistent
for all of the lean years that have gone
and ought now to come into its reward
as the platform adopted by the insur-
gent wing of the republican party is
but reiteration of the principals of
the democratic party all along the
years. To be consistent, the insur
gents will not use the old slogan "vote
her straight but will use every effort
