That Foxho|m- m-Carpio Ball Game
F0xhamite Tells of the Trouble With the Car
pio Players Who Hired Out of
Town Professionals.

with their own men which by the
way could easily be seen among
the spectators. This Carpio wise
ly refused.
On account of the large crowd
it was finally decided to play for
love of the sport. The score
being II to 0 in favor of Carpio.
However, this score was not
nearly as bad as when Carpio
and Bowbells played some time
ago which was 16 to 0 in favor of
Bowbells.
During the Rag Chewing
Period" before the game started
one Foxholm man told the Carpio
boys that if they were looking for
a professional Ball Game, all they
needed to do was to name the
date and place and any amount of
money that they would put up
he would cover, they to get their
team wherever they wanted to
and we do the same, but Carpio
was not looking for anything of
that kind, their stronghold being
a big l and little U sort Of bluff
which this time did not work.
There is, however, one redeem
ing feature in the advice given
in the column devoted to base
ball in the "Carpio News" of
August Is where it says:
Next time two teams get
their dander up and wants to
play for a purse it would be ad-
visab]e to enter into written
agreement before it is time to
call the game and thus avoid mis-
understandings.
This advise we in the future
shall certainly heed, providing
we ever play any more ball with
Carpio and neighboring ball
teams also take notice.
Now, these are the facts lead
ing up to this great ball game
and in giving them we have been
fair and ask no apologies from
Carpio and we consider thi. ex-
planation is due to the hundreds
of people who came here to wit
ness a good ball game instead Of
as it were. Respectfully.

Will Take MinCt Census.

Judge Murray and assistants
have been engaged by the bust
ness men of Minot to take the
census Of this city in order that
steps may be taken at once to-
wards securing a Carnegie library
The census records give Minot as
having a population Of but 5000
people while as a matter of fact,
our city possesses some thing like
1000 souls. In order that a Car
magic library can be secured, the
census must show that we have
a Population of over 5000.
The Independent will make a
guess that Judge Murray will
find that Minot has population
of $500.

DO Not Enter Ministry.
Minister Points Out Why Young Men
VERY FEW REASONS.

Minneapolis, Feb. 81. There are
very few reasons. indeed, why any
young man should today enter the
ministry.
This was the startling announce
nent made at the opening session of
the Augustana conference by Rev. G.
70, Cesander of Buffalo, Mimi, who
read paper on what are the causes
Of the lack Of candidates for the min
istry?1
Rev. Cesander did not confine his
remarks to the Swedish Lutheran
church. He said that the condition of
poor pay was general throughout the
world in all churches. His address
made a sensation at the conference.
Mr.. Cesander ascribed the following
causes to the lack of candidates for
the ministry: Poor pay, poor chances
for advancement avariciousness Of
active church members, the magnifl-
cent chances for enoluments In busi-
ness and professions outside the min-
istry and lack OF spiritual fervor
among the younger generation Rev.
Cesander said there were 1876 parishes
in the Augustana conference without
ministers.
