BASE BALL.
Over 81 900 has already been raised
for the support OF team.

An enthusiastic base ball
meeting was held at the office
of J. A. Painter on last Satur-
day evening and everything
looks encouraging for a winn-
ing team this year. The dir
ectors of the association called
on the business men the latter
part of last week and almost
everyone signed up literally
over 81 900 being subscribed in
one afternoon it is expect
ed that there will be in the
neighborhood of 81, 800 in the
treasury when the directors
finish their work.
Secretary La1lum has been
very busy of late corresponding
with different players and this
year Bottineau will no doubt
have some of the best players
ever seen on the diamond in
these parts.
The home players have all
signed up.
A very commendable act on
the part of the management is
that they all voted unanimous
ly against Sunday baseball.
This is as it should be, and
every citizen of Bottineau who
has proper pride in home
sporting" affairs will do his
part in building up a successful
team for 1907.

The Nail

held the nail within my hand
And poised the hammer high,
And smiled as to myself said,
I'll hit it, if try.
scarce had said when down it came,
And brought with it the sky,
A thousand stars around me played
And meteors flashed by.
The earth turned black and blue and red,
A hundred shades saw
OF green which mingled with the black
Opposed to natures law
A million imps laughed in my face
And jumped upon my frame,
Changed every ounce of flesh l weighed
To fifty pounds of pain.
The ground before my eyes whirled round,
Then rose to meet my head,
The blood coursed thru my wretched veins,
Then stopped as in the dead
called to the Olympian Zeus,
And all his mighty throng,
No answer came, they did not heed
My prayers loud and long.
What was it caused this sudden change
And made my cheek pale;
Success it was, thus | might say,
For did hit the nail.

for the past five months:

The approximate depth of
snow would be 10 times the
number of inches of moisture,
or 412 inches not quite 4 feet
of snow on the level for the
entire winter.

last week to join the navy has
reached parents and friends
here. The latest is from Chicago
stating that all except two boys
from Bottineau had succeeded
in passing the examination and
were enroute to Virginia.
Mrs. J. E. Stewart is confined
to her bed with an acute attack
of rheumatism. Mrs. Stewart
has been i'll most of the winter
and we trust that with the COM
ing of spring she will find re-
lief.
A revival meeting is being
held in the Methodist church
here. ~
We learn with regret that
Miss ]. L. Romanson, who is
residing on her homestead east
of Barton, is seriously i'll.
The sight of an old woman,
aged sixty-five years and hair
as white as:snow, in a state of
beastly intoxication, greeted
the eyes of those who chanced
to be on our streets Saturday.
This woman is we'll known to
nearly every business man in
Willow City as she makes near
ly all of her purchases here,
and yet it is possible for her to
secure the material to get drunk
on every time she comes to
town, which is quite frequently.
It strikes us that there are
many more decent ways of
earning a dollar than at the ex-
pense of this old lady who has
not a friend or relative to inter-
fere in her affairs, and who is
fast running through with
farm which she earned by hard
toll. The man who, knowing
this woman's weakness for
whiskey, would furnish it to
her, would betray the Saviour
for less than Judas Iscariot did.
and would steal the bread from
the mouth of babes.
A prof ssor of medical
science out in Colorado has
decided that clothes of any
kind are unhealthy and in ord
er to test his theory, spent a
whole day in the mountains re-
Gently in ''purus naturalibus"
and declares it to be success,
and is planning to take a whole
class out next summer where
they zcentenpAate~ssliving for
several months in a nude state.
We would suggest that the
learned professor call this place
the Garden of Eden; and we do
not doubt but that it will out
rival Colorado's famous Gar
den of the gods. This new
movement ought toeliminatethe
problem of a new spring suit
for the professor and his class.
Mrs. John d. Scherer was
quite i'll the first of the week,
but under the efficient care of
DR.. Anderson, is improving.
We extend congratulations to
Mr.. Cook, of the Courant, up
on his marriage to Miss Rod
ney, former deputy superinten-
dent of schools. We know no
member of the Courant staff
would have selected any but a
charming bride, hence we con-
gratulate him without knowing
his wife personally.

Ia good time enjoyed by all was
the unanimous opinion of
every visiting brother.

ADGIE's LIONS HERE.
Great Animal Act nt White City This
 Week.

Week.
 This week promises to be the banner June week in the history of the White City. Sam speck springs another sur prise, not only on the public, but on every one connected with the resort. Without saying word to any one, he has for quite time been negotiating with the noted Mile. Adgie and her lions, and announced Saturday that he had secured her for this week, her first performances being this afternoon and evening. Not an inkling did he give until the contracts were signed, and the extent of the surprise may be imagined when it is stated that Adgie's animal act Is one of the highest-priced and one of the hardest to get now on the road, and that he found 1t impossible to get her last season.
 Every one we'll remembers the great furore she created two seasons ago at the White City,. when she so narrowly escaped death with one of the ferocious tigers in her troupe. Whether Adgie has this same animal will not be known until to-day, when she arrives here, That she has the very tlercest of beasts goes without saying, as this Is her spe- .eialty and has made her noted through

TOWNSEND'S SUCCESSOR.
MAY BE JUDGE MOVES
Senator Waller, Son of Former Governor, to Get
 Moves Place.

As United States Senators Brandegee and Bulkeley have conferred together and decided to recommend that Judge Walter c. Moves of New London be ap- pointed to succeed Judge William K. Townsend, deceased, as judge of the United States circuit court of appeals, it is more than likely that Judge Moves will be appointed to this important post by President Roosevelt on this infiuen- tial reconlmendation
 Indeed there Is reason to believe that the president has indicated that the position will be given to Connecticut man and it seems likely that Judge Moves will be the man.
 Judge Moves is a jurist of repute, of ability and acumen far beyond the ju- risdiction of his own court.
 When there was a vacancy on the United States court bench at the time Judge Townsend was promoted to the circuit court bench, he was urged by his friends for the place of district judge to succeed Judge Townsend.
 It is said that at that time United States Senator Platt, then alive and in the zenith of his power, urged intimate personal friends to aid in securing the appointment of his own son, James F. Platt, the present judge of the district court, who got the place.
 At the time President Roosevelt re- lied much on Senator Platt, who was one of the leaders of the nation, and was quoted as calling him bully good fellow" in his exuberant way. It is understood that Vermont and New York state, both of which are in this circuit court district, have asked that the appointment be given to one of them, but the concurrence of the Connecticut senators in so quick time, has acted as flank movement of in- vincible power and the likelihood Is now that the Green Mountain and the Empire State will be left to their re- grets.
 Senator Charles B, Waller of New London, son of former Governor Thom- as Waller, is very prominently men toned to succeed Judge Moves, should the latter be appointed to take Judge Townsend's place. Senator Waller has strong backing.

HANNAH CRAY HOME. DONATION DAY JUNE 12. Institution for Aged CoIored Women Doing Good
 Work.

Situated at 15S Dixwell avenue is the Hannah Gray home, which is the oldest home in the state having been willed in the early sixties for the use of colored females by Hannah Gray.
 Miss Gray left no money for the maintenance of the home, but the in- mates were supposed to pay a small sum each month for the care of the property.
 Attorney Henry White was the execu- tor of the will and had charge until 1903. At that time committee of la dies of the Twentieth Century club (col- ored) visited MT. White and expressed a desire to help the Home. They were informed that back taxes to a consider able amount were owing and that new trustees were to be appointed. With Mir. Whites approval the following were made trustees: Lawyer George w.. Crawford, Mrs. John Ross, jr., and Mrs. Emma Benton.
 The Home at this time had no in- come as the occupants were too old and feeble to pay rent The club ladies provided coal, wood and food and had the Home cleaned and painted.
 During the year 1905 three of the in- mates died Two were buried by the club and the third it was found had saved enough to cover her burial.
 The Home has been given thorough cleaning each spring.
 Tn quiet way 1t has done what 1t could towards making life comfortable for its old friends. At Thanksgiving and Christmas it has provided turkey dinners and tried to put the holiday spirit into its giving.
 It fully appreciates the kindness of Lawyers White and Crawford and the several friends who have answered its appeal This year 1t asks the general public to assist. Donations of fuel, groceries or money will be thankfully received at the Home, 15S Dixwell ave- nuc, on Wednesday. June 12.
