Up in the Taft baseball grounds iu Watertown Saturday afternoon tha present Taft baseball team threw q scare into the Alumni and but for errors in the last few innings tha Alumni would have been forced to de- feat. Eddie Mann was on the rubs Der for the Alumni and the boys took kindly to his delivery and found him for six runs in six innings. Eddia had not handled ball before this sea- son and he was unable to get ovef those old curves that years ago were wont to puzzle all the best batters in the state. He retired after the sixth and Guy Cleveland took his place. Cleveland had been training with tho Yale team and he put curves over tha pan that the boys rarely hit. The Alumni made a great finish and tied up the game in the ninth inning and in the eleventh clinched it because of bad misplays in the infeld. The final score was 9 to c.

THE AMATEURS GOOD GAMES IN
 ALL THE LEAGUES
The Hills Take the Lead in the City League Raee-All the
 Other Results.

The teams that had not met defeat in the City Amateur league race, were pitted against each other yes terday afternoon in the first game on the Driving park. The Washing ton Hills and the Hamilton Parks were the opposing elements and the Hills proved their worth by taking down the victory by the score of IF to 8. Errors had much to do with the scoring of the Hills as there were eight big juicy ones behind Pitcher King. With any kind of support the score would have been much closer and the Hills might have had a task to win out. Only six innings were played as the game had to cease to allow the other game to pro ceed. The storm delayed the game in starting. The lineup and scores:

 The St Josephs and Brooklyns fur nished the greatest excitement of the day in their contest. The Brooklyns have yet to win game and that Is soemthing strange for a team that has won so many championships in the City league. The old reliable pitcher. Johnny Kelly, was on the slab for the Brooklyns, too, but the St Josephs proved that they are a team to be reckoned with this sea- son for they hammered Kelly with out mercy. The game was see-saw affair at that and was tied up in three innings, the sixth, seventh and eighth, and 1t was won out in the ninth. when the temperance boys scored two runs. The lineup and score:

At the County Jail

Matt Bartol, who was arrested last
week for going through Ike Cox's
machine, escaped Sunday morning
from the Jail by some scheme of which
lie was the author or patentee. The
police didn't look upon the young
prisoner as vicious character, and
in consequence allowed him more lax
ity than would otherwise have been
allowed prisoners and he made his
escape. Thursday he was captured at
Tower while in the act of taking the
train for Duluth. He directly ran in
to the arms of Deputy Sheriff Opel.
Judge Ensign of the juvenile court
will probably attend to his case on
Saturday. Matt is enc of the kids
that has been allowed to grow up with
the country. School was no object
to him, and while his parents have
tried to keep him in the straight and
narrow path Matt has run his indi.
vidual course. Other parents can
take warning from this. Boys will
be boys, and in small town boys are
more than boys.

Sometimes Useful

Mining stock should be bought in
the dark of the moon from total
stranger, says an exchange. If pos
sible pay him in lead money. Mining
stock is useful for several things. The
long and narrow certificates are good
for laying upon pantry shelves. The
short, fat ones can be laid in the bot.
tom of drawers. The handsomely
engraved certificates, on handmade
paper, can be rolled up and used for
killing flies. You should, of course,
buy your stock carefully and choose
the size which will come in handiest.
Low-grade mining stock should be
bought Just before housekeeping. It
can then be laid under the carpets
during the summer. Late in the fall
it can be taken up and used for bed.

A Question.

1t is stated that several hundred of
the men laid off at Bessemer mines
last week are 1ocking to the old coun-
try to spend their good American dol
lars and remain until times pick up a
little, says the Hurley wis. Miner.
And when that condition again pre-
walls they will come back to again
Feather" their European nests with
money that should be spent in buying
homes and supporting families in this
country. Oh! for the good days of the
S0's and early '90's, when the good
miners were more in evidence at our
mines and when pay day meant some
thing more than a grand rush to the
banks and the express offices and post
offices to see how quickly the months
earnings can be sent to the foreign
lands. Here is very promising field
of labor and endeayor on the part of
our loyal foreign born citizens who do
nave their interests here and who de-
sire above all things to see this section
prosper. Hundreds of these men who
carry or send their earnings out of
the country to foreign lands have
taken the pledge Of citizenship here,
and should have instilled into their
makeup principles of loyalty in ma
terial things. They help to vote our
taxes and often add to our public bur.
dens. Why should they not build
their homes here, and prove their
citizenship by contributing to the
public welfare of this community?

Season Opening

Thos. Owens of the Duluth & Iron
Range thinks that the ore shipping
season will open about the same time
as last year, but states that he does
not think the work will be rushed
from the start as last season, but will
gradually assume about the normal
proportions.
Mr.. Owens conservatively estimates
that 5000, 900 tons of ore will be ship
ped through this port the coming sea-
son. The total tonnage last year was
approximately 8. 900, 900 tons. Thus 1t
will be seen that the output will be
cut about twenty-five percent.
or course these estimates are only
based upon the present outlook, for
the Steel company is not able to know
definitely what quantity of their pro-
ducts will be demanded. The figures
may greatly exceed those estimated
by the present outlook. At any rate
there will not be nearly so large re-
duction of the output as is being gen.
orally reported. Owing tc the fact
that the work will not be rushed at
the opening of the season, many Of
the railroad men away on leaves Of
absence are having their leaves ex-
tended and will not return until lit.
tie later 10 the spring than usual.

holders in Milwaukee within a short
time to determine upon a course of
action.
Hugh f. Ellard is receiver. Recent
conditions in the financial markets
are cited by the directors as the cause
OF the company's difficulties, and as
preventing the company from getting
back on its feet. The Indebtedness Of
the company amounts to S4O2, 096. of
which Sl6,l9S is unpaid wages. Secur.
ed claims amount to only $22,808,
while unsecured claims are S359,042.
The total assets are given at 1892, 1917.
The statement says that the creditors
who applied fora receiver are willing
to negotiate.

is learning to adapt himself TO the
ways of the white man. The aborig-
luce has at last begun to see the folly
of battling against the civilization of
his white brother, DR.. Rodwell be-
lieves that the death rate is less than
it was a decade ago. simply because
the Indian has learned to follow the
example Of the white man. He also
believes that the future holds some
thing for the ward of the government.
Education has worked a wonderful
improvement, which the doctor be-
lieves will continue until the Indian
will be accepted in the professions
and other walks of usefulness that,
until recent years, have been closed to
him.

Probably Suicide

the identity Of the young man who
was killed at Tower Junction Satur-
day morning remains mystery. The
coroner's inquest held Saturday found
that the case was one of suicide. The
local switch crew were at work In the
yards, the engine pushing two box
cars, when they saw the man ahead on
the track. Repeated warnings were
given and the crew supposed the man
would heed the signals and moye off
the track, but he failed to do so. and
it was not until after he had been
struck that the train was brought to
a standstill. 1t was then found that
he had been killed instantly, and his
remains were at once brought to town.
His neck had been broken, the skull
crushed and both feet cut Off.
The body is being held at the
.morgue awaiting Identification. He
was seen in Tower for the first time
the day before his death. One cent
and a jack knife were found on his
person. No papers of any kind were
found on him. He was about 80 years
of age.

Thrifty Indians

DR.. T. f. Rodwell of Tower, WHO
was here few weeks ago settling
with the Indians. went to Duluth last
week and from there to Superior to
pay the Indians at old Superior their
annuity of $685., had some words of
encouragement regarding the Indian.
DR.. Rodwell says that the Indians no
longer depend upon the money the
government pays them for their
means of livelihood. They have been
taught to look ahead, and have in
some instances invested their money,
while most of them depend upon
farming or fishing for their means of
earning living.
J At the Indian school at Tower they
are teaching the Indians the need of
industry. Most of the Indians on the
Leach Lake reservation, where DIR.
iRodwell was formerly stationed, he
says. are farming and are saving their
money. 1t is not an uncommon thing
to see a redskin flash a roll. During
the heretofore severe winters many of
the Indians actually suffered through
lack of foresight 10 providing for the
rigors of the cold season. DR.. Rodwell
says that this lack of thrift is thing
of the past among the Minnesota In
dians, who have passed through the
winter In most prosperous condition.
The doctor believes that the Indian
