Rat Plants Spuds for Downs.

Is born both good looking and
lucky like our friend o. X Downs,
the matter of a little money doeSn' I
count for much, Last winter he
had some potatoes in his office on
Jersey street, aud one of those
black plague distributors that
Portland is chasing SO hard, smelled
them out, The rat managed to
get some of the smaller spuds and
planted them at the corner OF the
house TO hide them. Possibly the
rat got killed, for he never ate the
spud and Brother Downs found
tine hill OF tubers growing there,
lie did not disturb the plants not
even to cultivate them, but as the
house mover came this week to
remove the building, he thought he
might as we'll harvest his crop.
When he dug up the hill he had
about hat full of smaller potatoes

PraIl Mercantile Go.

The newest addition to the mer-
camille life of ST. Johns is the fine
establishment of the Prall Mercan-
tile company on the corner of Jer-
sey and Burlington streets.
Mr.. {. T. Prall has had many
years experience in the mercantile
business, both as wholesaler and
retailer, and also with the manu-
featuring branch of the business.
He comes from Detroit, Mich, has
remodeled the building he occupies,
and received this week a large
stock of goods directly from Mar
shall Field & Co., Chicago, which
he has bought for spot cash, thus
securing the very lowest prices, and
the best goods that money can buy.
Mr.. Prall says he will sell his goods
at Portland prices, thus saving the
car fare and the time II takes to go
to the city. Besides if there should
be anything that is not satisfactory
because of some mistake which
may occur, there is the saving OF
another trip to the city. All of
these things will make it most
desirable place for our ladies and
citizens generally to trade.
Another thing, when you go
over town to trade il is enough TO
give you a nightmare TO 20 into a
house and ask for some chambray
and have some ignoramus throw
down piece of cheap calico, or
ask for Irish linen and have dis
played before you some bleachcd
muslin. Just such freak sales
people are met with there almost
every day in some of the business
houses in the city where cheap
labor is employed TO cut down ex.
pcnses. Mr.. Prall will avoid this
by employing the best help he can
get. lie has with him Mr.. G.. a.
Rcchcr first class all round dry
goods man who was employed for
several years with Roberts Bros.
of Portland, aud who thoroughly |
understands the business. lie has
also secured the services OF Miss
Leila Taylor, who used to be with
Honham & Currier, but who comes
here from Roberts Bros. establish.
ncnt.
When YOU do any business with
Mr. Prall YOU do not have to wait
until YOU forget what YOU came
lilcr before YOU are waited upon
Your wants are promptly attended
o aud you will not need to go TO
he rest room lor nap while your

BASE BALL GALORE
Three Games in One Day Go
ing Some.

Saturday last game of ball was
sneaked of at the local grounds be-
tween the Brewers and Frakes.
The fact that game was to be
pulled off on that day was unher-
aided and unapnounced, and II was
only when crowd of uniformed
players marched silently down to the
battle field late in the afternoon that
the st. Johns folks realized a game
was to be played. A half dozen or
more of the very faithful who
would sooner witness a ball game
than eat good meal followed the
uniformed men. From the start to
finish the contest was farce and a
burlesque on the national game. II
apparently was such cut and dried
affair that the faithful half dozen
kicked themselves because their love
of base ball overrode their better
judgment and caused them to be
present. 1t was simply walkover
for the Frakes, as the score Of 10 to
in their favor indicates.
Games like these are harmful to
the sport. The fans like every
thing open and above board. and Il
looks bad when a leader in a league
resorts to secret and underhand
methods In order to maintain their
lead. Printers ink was used en-
tirely too scantily throughout the
season in advertising games, and ii
is wonder that the turnout at the
games was as large as proved.
Sunday was record breaker IN
the number Of games played. No
less than three were pulled off and
the Cubs were the underdogs in
each. The morning game was be-
tween the Frakes aud Cubs. This
was lively affair and the most In.
teresting Of the three. Kotterman
pitched fine game for the Cubs
and kept the Milliners guessing
throughout. The Frakes, who
leave no stone unturned to win a
game, whether II requires a pneu-
matte ball, secret game or favorable
umpire, hired Schrimpff Of Portland
Coast league to do the twirling, and
performed well. The most disgust
ing part Of the game was when Troy
Myers, the Frakes umpire. called
one of their runners safe at home
plate when he was an easy out.
The score was to against the
Cubs.
The second game was called at
, 80 p. m. The Hatmakers aud
again held the boards.
Charlie Moore was in the box for
he Cubs. but the Frakes had their
,atting eyes trimmed up and hit
Hharlie's curves in a scandalous
manner, one Of which was for a
nome run. This game was never
II doubt, aud as no crooked meth
'ds were necessary, none were
ised. The Milliners won by the
core of 7 to-.
The third game of the day was a
lve-inning affair between the Cubs
nd Apostles, the latter easily win.
