81 PER YEAR
A Big Land Deal.

Messrs O'Malley & Hunt have sold
their big Taopi farm containing about
2400 acres to some bankers in Sioux
City, Iowa, at $e5.OO per acre. This is
one of the biggest land deals made in
the states of Minnesota or Iowa on farm
land. The deal was closed up by C. C.
O'Malley and reflects great credit on
his ability. They also had anopportuni-
ty to sell 1880 acres of this tract to
some Illinois parties; this would indi-
cate that their judgment in buying this
tract was good, as they have disposed
of all the land in six months and an
opportunity to sell several pieces be-
sides and all at good profit. Settle
ment was made on basis of z cash
and ! exchange in a good running prop
erty, and O'Malley & Hunt get the
crops for this year which are very good
and will net handsome sum.

Shut Out Burr Oak.

At the new ball grounds at Riverside
Park, Vernon Springs, on Sunday
afternoon, the Cresco team did not al
low the Burr Oak boys to run in sin
gle score and but one of the Burr Oak
ers, Kimber, their first base man, sue
ceeded in getting to first during the
entire game. While the score was small
the game was decidedly uninteresting
and at no stage of the game after Cres-
co made their first score was there an
excuse for a cheer. The Burr Oak
boys are certainly playing out of their
class when they try conclusions with
the Cresco team. At the Burr Oak
game Cresco had some trouble in find
ing Sullivan, but on Sunday they had
no trouble at all to do so and only the
hard wind preventing a ball from get
ting up any speed on it's trip to the
field kept Cresco from piling up big
score.
Following is the score by innings:

He has ON his head mass Of black
hairs intertwined with an additional
mass OF hairs that are perfectly
white. These two masses, each Of
them sufficient for anybody else's
needs, form an immense shock which
is parted on the right side. The
larger Of the two sections formed by
this division falls down in swoop
over his forehead and twiris back
upward from line drawn just above
his eyes. The amplitude Of his hair
has always been characteristic TO him.
