SKY ROCKET WENT THROUGH
- WINDOW. -

Friday evening, the eve of the
Fourth, q large sky rocket was. sent
crashing through the front window
and tho door, which was swung back,
of the City Bakery ON Broadway east.
Previous to this about three or four
sky rockets had been sent up in front
of the Con Roble confectionery store
with considerable success. The same
parties were just preparing to send up
this one from that place, when some
one lit the fuse before it was placed
in its right position, and it shot
across the street, through the window
and front door, and into the bakery,
starting fire to some boxes OF cracker
jack that were in the window. When
the smoke cleared up it was found
that nobody had been injured by the
firework. 1t was lucky thing for the
fellow who sent the rocket off that it
did not hit any of the people who
were passing by, as with the force
exhibited by this rocket, 1t surely
would have pierced half through ones
body. Although many saw whom it
was that touched the rocket of, none
were willing to give his name.

good run also, water was turned Oh
Immediately ON making connections
at the hydrant, but spouted out
through the other cad OF the: main
part OF the hose before connections
could be made with the extra length,
which was run back. Many Of the
spectators received an unwelcome
shower bath. First prize, $50, was
awarded the city. hose company, and
second, Sill, to the saw1nill team.
The Pine Tree Lumber company had
offered separate prize, S11, on this
race to the Pine Tree team that made
the best showing, SO the sawmill hose
company captured this prize also. The
city team was roundly cheered.
In the farmers hitching race, which
was next run, starting on second
street and around the A. K Hall and
Little Falls House block, was won by
Irving Pedley, the prize being $40.
In this race horse belonging to VIM
Pedley fell and was hurt somewhat.
This last race was just being COM
pleted when the Dode- Fiske Dog and
Pony show parade hove in sight and
then all were intent on this feature Of
the day. The crowd followed the
parade to the southeast part of the
city where the afternoon performance
was started at about p. m. The
show tents were crowded to their
utmost capacity, and all seemed we'll
pleased with the wonderful exhibition
by Bobby, the Intelligent horse, also
the work of the ponies, the dogs, and
last, but not least, the exhibition
given by two excellent performers, in
acts OF cleverness and strength
An open air concert by the combined
show and city bands was given
ing, while Prof. Edward de Fraziero
performed some wonderful stunts on a
bicycle and parts of other bicycles.
Among the tricks, which he executed
, in a highly commendable manner,
was riding down a steep incline on
one wheel.
After these performances the bands
lead fair sized crowd to the show
tents for the evening performance.
A fine display of fireworks was
given on the west bank of the river,
commencing shortly after 80 o'clock
IN the evening; OUT owing TO small
shower a number Of people were
unable to remain to see it to finish.
It completed one of the safest and
, sanest Fourth of July celebrations
,, ever celebrated in this city, no serious
i; accidents being reported due to the
powder accidents. The largest cannon
cracker used in this celebration was
! three inches in length, and no
, revolve1s, or toy pistols firing blank
, cartridges were allowed to be used.
The city band did some COM
mendable playing throughout the day,
and deserves credit for it.

PA STOR GETS DEGREE
Rev. Sumner, Formerly Of
Little Falls, Honored by
Yale University

Milford, Mass, News: Nothing con-
nected with his years commencement
at Yale has given so much real
satisfaction here as the granting Of the
NJ. A. degree to Rev F. A. Sumner,
pastor Of the First church, who
graduated from Oberl1n college in 81.
attended the Hartford Theological
seminary IN '94. He came here last
fall from Minneapolis and at once
entered heart and soul into the work
of his parish Since then, with one
exception, when he was ill, he has
preached two sermons each SUNDAY
attending. the Sunday school and Y.
P. c. E. services conducted the
weekly prayer meetings, kept a
fatherly eye on the various organiza-
tions connected with the church,
attended such committee meetings as
it was desirable for him to do, visited
the sick, comforted the afflicted of has
flock, baptized the children, performed
such marriage ceremonies as he was
asked to do, and conducted the
obsequies of members of his church
who have died and of such other
persons as turned to him in the hour
of their need He has also attended
lodge and fraternal meetings and
addressed them when asked. It would
seem as though every minute of his
time was filled, but this does not
appear to have been the case, for he
has found time to pursue his studies
which are included in a years post
graduate course at Yale, and that he
has been successful is shown by his
receiving the degree mentioned above.

But for two costly errors by the
Ramblers, each of which Melted the
opposing team two runs the Ramblers.

on the local grounds Sunday after
noon, would have went the nine
innings with score of to l.. The
teams played for a purse Of $50. and
go and 10 per cent OF the gate receipts,
which St. Cloud captured by a score
of 5 to l. Newman, who filled the
box for the Ramblers, was found for
six hits but managed to keep them SO
far apart, and the out.6eld did such
good work that they would not have
added materially but for the two
above mentioned errors. With
Schroeder, for St. Cloud, it was
different. He was in first class shape
and kept the locals guessing through
out the game. Up to the eighth
inning there was nothing doing for
the Ramblers, End base being the
extent of their sprinting. In this
inning, however, Brick got to second
on the only two-base hit of the game,
was advanced to 3rd by Newman S
sacrifice, and came home on single
by Fortler, scoring the Ramblers' only
run Of the game. Fortier then stole
End, and was advanced to 3rd on a
safe one by Deidrich. Wetzel was the
next up, but he struck out, putting
the side out.
st. Cloud scored in the first, fifth
and eighth innings. In the first
Rasch, who was the first man up,
went lost on single, was advanced to
End on single by Tufford, and then
to 3rd on a sacrifice by Lacher, and
home on hit by Steffs. In the fifth
Materna, the first man up, went out !;
Schroeder secured single; advanced
to End and 3rd by Rasch and Tuford
and he and Schroeder scored on an error.

stopping swift grounder by Lacher.
Stefs and Prem, the next two men up,
were well taken care of by the locals,
putting the side out. Lacher started
business in the eighth, getting LIST on
liner. He was advanced to End by
Stefs, stole 3rd, and two came home
on wild throw by Wetzel, while
Prem reached End. The next there
men up, Sakry, Holman and Materna
were gobbled up by the locals, thus
putting an end to the scoring.
st. Cloud registered several kicks on
the decisions of the umpire in
different parts of the game, and in the
last of tn. eighth had almost decided
to quit, but the $50, etc., evidently
looked good to them so they kept on
with the game, winning by the score
of 5 to I. Umpire Stinson's decisions
were given in most unbiased
manner, and statements to the con-
trary are ridiculous. The St. Cloud
Journal Press write-up of the game
IS simply rotten.

A little vinegar put in the water

the fish and keep it firm. In case of
fire tie wet silk handkerchief over
