The local railroad passenger and

satisfactory business to the Alaskan
Yukon exposition now being held at

rate of about fifty-five dollars has
been authorized for the round-trip to
the exposition, and the sleeping car

The Dyersville Commercial, in it's
account of the Sunday game played
there a week ago, claimed the game
by a score of 10 to 8. No compromise
was mentioned. The Strawberry
Point Mail Press directed nearly a
column of its space to rubbing it in
to Manchester for leaving the game
a tie at that town a few days ago.
Some very unpleasant things We're
said about the management. The
Cascade Pioneer roars on account OF
troubles recited by the aggregation
representing that town which played
two games in Manchester short
time ago. 1t would seem that Man
chester is regarded as an outlaw and
renegade, but perhaps a bit of jeal-

for several minutes both men were
stunned. Hans was struck in the
face by a foul tip while at bat.

countenance in the sand for a

without whimper. Hans retains a
