Base Ball League Expires

Done to death in the home of it's pro-
genltors! Such is the sad fate of the
500 Line Base Ball League. Born of
the ebullient enthusiasm of the sporty
fans of Bruce, nurtured into the strength
of maturity by less talkative but more
tenacious teams east of the lordly Chip
pewa, it is handed one on the solar
plexus by the very bunch who brought
it into being. While the smaller towns
in the east struggled to get organized,
Bruce talked of the championship,
smiling benignly at the little fellows.
When the little fellows got organized
Bruce quit talking. If those rude fell
lows in the east were going to swat
the ball so hard, Bruce wouldn't play,
so she wouldn't.
We are sorry Bruce has quit. We
would like very much to be sociable
with the westerners. If base ball is
too strenuous, why can't we organize a
league for playing croquet or ante
over-Glen Flora Star.

Investigating Burial Association

The Rusk County Burial association,
with its 900 odd members is the subject
of investigation for the second time by
the Insurance Commissioner. Maytor
Hoppenyan of Ashland, president OF
the State Funeral Directors association,
was here Tuesday at the instance OF
the Insurance Commissioner, to whom
a complaint had been made.
This burial association has been in
operation for several years and has
done much good in providing fund for
the burial of it's deceased members.
Every member pays 10 cents on notice
of death-that is all there is to it;
there are no dues, no meetings, no fines,
no obligation to pay, even. When
ever a member quits paying he fOrfeits
his right to receive a contribution
should he die. If the commissioner
puts this under the ban, then the '22
Club" is likewise illegal, as it is found
ed on the same principle.

WORKING TOWARD CHURCH UNION
Committees from Four Churches at
Work Drafting Plans

Representative of the Baptist, Chris
tian, Methodist and Congregational
Churches met at the Library building
Tuesday evening. These representa-
tives had been elected for the purpose
of discussing the possibility of the pro-
posed federation of the Churches named.
1t was almost the unanimous opinion
that such union would prove benefi-
cial, the only question being whether
the details could be worked out in such
manner as to prove acceptable to the
membership of the various Churches.
Accordingly committees were appoint
ed as follows, to draft provisions for
such federation:
Government-Rev l.. J. Ingraham,
F. L. Dean, A. A. Bush, A. A. Hadden.
Services-O. E. Rice, P. Feist, F. S.
Dean, Mrs. VIM. Ford.
Institutional Work-Mrs. J. w. Car
ow, Mrs. ]. B. Welpton, Mrs. ]. II.
Hogston, w. N Mackin.
IIIldICcS--J. IL. l1OSoCoIl, IA
Shumway, A. j. Laidlaw, Mrs. W. E.
Clark.
The committee will meet again Fri
day night to consider the reports of the
subcommittee.
1t is not intended at this time, as is
generally supposed, to form a consoli-
dation of the established churches, nor
in any m amer to disturb the present
organize tions. The plan is simply to
combine, for stated period, for wor-
ship and Church work, with one pastor
supported entirely by home contribu-
tions. 1t is also proposed to unite the
Sunday schools and Young Peoples
societies. The Ladies' Aid societies,
however, which are in a large degree
looking after the financial interests of
their respective Churches, it is
thought should continue their good
work There are numerous knotty prob
lens to be solved, but the committee
appears to be optimistic for the ulti-
mate success of the plan.

Coming-"The Blind Organist"

"The Blind Organist," the play with
out a rival, full of heart interest and
admirable acting, sustains both the pa
thos and comedy. There is brand
new idea so far as the stage is concern
ed in ''The Blind Organist" and it is
worked out very cleverly indeed. The
comedy is clever, admirably construct
ed and performed. The st. Patrick s
Cathedral, the burning organ loft, the
timely rescue are nearly melodramatic
and furnish plenty of excitement, while
the music by the Quartette and solos by
Hazel Arlington are superb. ''The
Blind Organist' is here for one night
only, so avail yourself of the opportun-
ity of seeing the success Of the season.

TOO MANr COOKS
SPOILS THE BROTH
to Puhlic's Detriment in
School Affairs

AS an example of the confusion of
authority under our present school sys-
tenn and the consequent loss to the city,
the following incident is brought to
our attention: After the construction
Of the High School building the ground
to the east and north was left sloplng
toward the building, so that the rain
falling on nearly half block has for
years drained toward the building and
soaked into the ground around the foun-
dation. In some places the water seeps
through the stone wall of the founda-
ton and runs in rivulets across the base
ment floor. This condition is neither
good for the building nor sanitary for
the children. Two men and team, with
plow and scraper, would remedy this
defect in day. Whose business is it
to have this matter attended to? The
attention of the school board, the COM
mon council and the board of public
works in turn has repeatedly been
called to this needed improvement.
All of these three bodies claimed au-
thority and promised to have it fixed.
But no action has been taken. If the
city suffers because of this trouble,
which could be so easily remedied, who
will the people hold responsible-the
school board, the common council or
the board of public works? This is one
of the reasons that a change is advocat-
ed sin our system of school govern
ment. If the school board is elected by
the people and is alone responsible, such
important matters will not be permit
ted to 90 unnoticed year after year.

colored Keystones Found Us Easy

The Colored keystone base ball team
of Minneapolis, which played the Lady
smith team this afternoon, had our
boys ''hoodooed" from the start. After
the first two innings, in which the
coons ran in a bunch of scores, neither
team ''played ball." and except for the
natural clownishness of the colored
gentlemen, the large crowd which had
assembled to witness the game would
probably have got "sore.' The ne
groes however kept things lively by all
kinds of daring stunts, but shutting
