Base Ball.

Cresco won its game with the Ma
tional Indians last Friday by score of
to 8, and did it in spite of a lot of
loose playing which might have cost
them the game. If Cresco had played
the kind of game they put up against
the Gophers, it would have been a shut
out for the Indians.
Cresco commenced work in the second
inning. Cratzmeyer got two base hit.
Scheutz was out on a fly to right field.
Neistrum scored Cratzmeyer on a three
bagger, and Paley followed with what
should have been home run. but in
running from third home he collided
with an over jealous youth who had
invaded the diamond in wild burst of
enthusiasm and was thrown to the
ground. He endeavored to return to
third but was put out. Cresco annexed
three more scores, one each in the 5th,
7th and 9th innings.

Keep Money in the Bank.

The home of George Dyer, an In
dustrious and thrifty negro of Ath-
ems, Ca, was burned a few days ago,
Dyer carried no insurance. He had
$3.50, which he had saved mp. and
this was burned with the building.
This occurrence should teach two
lessons. Every house should be in
sured against fire, and g man shou!'l
keep his money in bank.
It is not safe to keep money
around the house on account OF the
temptation 1t affords to burglars aEd
then, too, there is always danger OF
it being burned just as this negroe
savings were burned. And fire
insurance policy will cost only q
few cents a year on each hur"red
dollars worth of property insured. .

The Runaways VIII Be Presented
Wednesday Night.

"The Runaways" is brilliant ex-
ample of the type Of entertainment
that has been made famous by the
New York Casino; but none Of the
other celebrated musical plays. that
have hailed from this frolicsome
temple of fun and song, has ever
achieved a success, in any way, to
be compared with that of the lsi;n-
aways. Most Casino successes hold
their sway over the public fancy for
year or two, and then slip grace
fully into forgetfulness. But with
the Runaways it has been different.
It's first Casino engagement lasted
for seven long months. It's hold up
on New York playgoers was so firm,
however, that since then, it has been
sent back to Broadway again and
again, and while other and newer
musical comedies were rising and
falling the Runaways has held Its
popularity undeminished. 1t is now
in it's sixth season en- tour, and its
audiences everywhere are bigger AMI
more enthusiastic than ever. They
will be seen at the Academy of MIL
sic Wednesday night, October 2Sth.
and are without doubt the largest
musical attraction ever visiting Or
angeburg. Prices Csc to .S1.50.

the A. G. Douglas Company, which
conducts fashionable dry goids and
