WERE VICTORIOUS
In a Listless Game the Packers Eat
up the omahogs Thursday by
Score of A to 8.

There were nearly 1000 people
out to see the baseball game Thurs
day afternoon at the fair grounds
to see Sioux City. the champions of
the Western League and Omaha, who
were second in the race, and they
we're treated to a mere exhibition
of the national game.
Transforming baseball does not
lend the same excitement to the
game wherein one team has no par
:icular desire to win. but are out for
the money, and that is about the
name in which these teams went
into the game. 1t was listless, no
ginger and the players worked with
about the same degree of slowness
that a person does who is merely
working for the money. Once in a
while they would ginger up, but the
occasions We're rare. 1t is possible
the expectations of the people were
altogether too high, and that they
had put the Western leaguers on too
high a pinnacle, and they could not
however, that before a crowd, such
as was gathered there, that the men
would inject some life into the game.
Mckay and Vance did the battery
work for Sioux City and Raglan and
IeBrant We're in the points for Oma-
ma. Neither pitcher let himself out
to any great degree and they seemed
TO be saving their arms for next year.
Once in a while either one of the
pitchers would loosen III and siZzle
the air, but they seemed to prefer
to work a slow ball, which required
less exertion.
The crowd took all this very tame
ly, and as a consequence there was
very little excitement in the game.
The scoring started early in the
game when Sioux City scored three
runs in the first inning on some rank
plays by Omaha. That was all the
Packers were able to get until the
ninth inning. Omaha got busy in
the third inning and crossed the rub
her twice, and they were nea to
the score mark in the seventh. With
a man on second and third a sacri-
fee hit was made to second and the
runner was caught neatly at the
plate. By a lightning throw to third
Vance nailed the runner there.
In the first half of the ninth Oma-
ha worked the squeeze play for the
| benefit of one. run that tied up the
score with Sioux City. Omaha got
a man on first and third, and the
player on first started for second;
the pitcher shot the ball to the base
and the man on third started for
home but he beat the ball to the

plate and the score was tied up-3
to 8. But that was as far as Omaha
got, for they We're retired immed-
lately after.
When Sioux City came to bat in
the last half of the ninth they start
ed in to break the tie, and here is
where some excitement would have
prevailed if the players had tried
previously to make the game inter
esting. Granville stepped up to the
plate and laid a pretty hit over sec
ond base that was good for two bas-
es. Welch repeated the performance
and scored Granville with the Win
ming run-and the game was over.
Time of game 1 hour and Is min
utes.
Will Scallin umpired the game
and had a slight argument with the
players over a decision On a foul ball.
Scallin could not see where the ball
dropped owing to the density Of the
crowd and he called it a fair ball.
This aroused quite a good deal OF
discussion, and ina.-. Scallin got
disguised and handed the indicator
over to Andreas and left the field.
The matter was patched up and Seal
lin finally resumed his job and fin
ished the game, but there was nc
more kicking on the umpire.
The following is the score by inn
ings:

TO GUST. The CLOSETS
War Started on the Closets That are
Within the Fire Limits of
the City.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was neld Monday evening, occa-
stoned by the efforts of the police
department to have the closets in
the alleys Of the business districts
removed. The department has been
opposed to a certain extent in this
movement and the council was called
together to reach a solution Of the
situation If possible.
There were half q dozen citizens
present to present their side OF the
case and on one or two occasions
there were several hot exchanges of
words. The discussion lasted for
some time. and out OF it grew the
framing up of a new ordinance on
the closet question.
This ordinance was placed on its
first reading and provides that all
closets within the fire limits shall
be declared nuisances, and that they
shall be removed, on a written notice
by the chief of police. within ten
days.
A resolution was adopted making
it possible to extend the date for re-
moving the closet Of an individual in
case he files q written. notice with
the city auditor and that he shall
appear betora. the. city council ct 4

French is now touring the west,

will be here for the opening of the

the Pacific coast newspapers said of
him at one of his engagements:
"Henri French a king of imper-
senators, an da juggler of the
cleverest, caught the crowd at the
Orpheum last night. OF exquisite
presence, versatile, attractive, he
made about as distinct a hit as has
ever been recorded in this city.
Starting his act with juggling
which was chiefly meritorious from
the fact that it was SO exqusitely
done-so graceful-he closed the
unique performance with rapid char
acter changes and representations,
in some cases with the aid only of
his own marvellous powers of facial
expression, and in others with quick
ly donned makeup, which were little
short of actual genius"

County Need Not Pay.

A decision handed by Judge John
GoodIand in circuit court at Appleton
last Thursday is of Importance to
every city and community it in the
state, inasnuch as he has held that in
no case is the county liable for the
expense incurred in the treatment OF
SMALLPOX or other contagious diseas-
es, but that it is the duty of the city
physician to care for the ptatient, if
he is pauper, without extra charge.
This county now has claim pend
ing in which the city of Beaver Dam
asks to be reimbursed for expense in
taking care of small pox case uf a
resident of the city of Watertown.
Upon the advice of the then district
attorney, Jos. E. Davies, payment
was refused. This decision relieves
the county.
The decision handed down by Judge
Goodland was in case resulting from
the affair of an Indian child, which
was brought fromMilwaukee to the
Children's Receiving home and soon
afterward came down with small
pox. The home physician notified
the city physician, DR.. Robert Leith,
who removed the baby to the pest
house and after sent bill to the
city council amounting TO S275. II.
The bill was for $40 visit for
twenty-one calls and So per day for
nurse, So 81 for provisions. The
council paid the bill and then tried
to collect it from the county. The
county board refused tu pay and
the city brought suit to recover the
amount.
For years it had been the custom
for cities to pay the city physician
when treating small pox case and
in turn collect the amount from the
county. Judge Goodland holds that it
is the duty of the cities, villages and
towns to take care of their own pat
tents and that the city physician can
not collect extra compensation for
the same.-Jefferson Banner.
