Good Bail Games During Fair.

The Underwood fair is a thing
of the past and the ball games
seem to have been the most inter.
esting feature of the fair. The
Washburn boys Jared badly but
luck was against them. There
were two games played each day
except on Saturday when the
heavy rain stopped one game. The
two games on Sunday drew about
as large crowd as the fair. Wash
burn was we'll represented all four
days-even the rain did not keep
them home.
Underwood was unfortunate in
having the fair at this time of the
year. Few farmers had time to
attend, and fewer brought exhibits
of grain, vegetables or stock. 1t
is to be regretted that more cannot
be made interested in the exhibits
as that is always the principal
feature Of country fairs.
The score in the games played
is as follows: 'Thursday-Wash-
burn S, Underwood 6; Max l,
McClusky 5; Friday-Washburn
1, Met cClusky $; Max 1, Underwood
IL; Saturday-McC Clusky S, Max

A. c. Ranard Passed Away.
Andrew @. Ranard was born at
Whitehall, Indiana November 23d,
1841. He was the third child in a
family of seven. At the age Of
seven years the family moved to
VanBuren county, Iowa. Here
the parents died, and soon after
the children returned to the old
home in Indiana. In July 1861
Mr.. Ranard, then a young man,
enlisted with the volunteers in
Company 1, 22nd Indiana, and ser
we'd three years and eleven months.
His company fought in all the i'm
portant engagements in the army
of the Cumberland. He started
with General Sherman on his fa.1
nous march to the sea and was
captured at Kenesaw Mountain be-
fore Atlanta June 26th, 1864. He
was prisoner Of war in Anderson
vile six months, and two months
at Florence, being liberated Feb
ruary 9th, 1865. After receiving
his discharge he returned to Van
Buren county, Iowa. On August
seventeenth Mr.. Ranard united
with Mary G. Hootman in holy
wedlock, and to this union were
born four girls: Martha Almira,
Sophia May, Margaret Jane, Mer-
tice Eveline. In 1871 the family
immigrated to Kansas and after a
short stay returned, soon after
which their youngest daughter
died at the age Of eleven months.
In 1881 the family removed to
Montgomery county, Iowa, re-
naming there till 1882, when they
came to Dakota Territory settling
in Cass county. The next year
they came farther west locating at
Conkling, ten miles west of Wash
burn, where they took a claim, and
homesteaded the same. In 1892
Mr.. Ranard settled in the city of
Washburn, residing here perma-
nently. Judge Ranard held the
Office of justice Of the peace for
twenty.six years continuously ex-
cepting the periods during which
he held the Office of probate judge
and clerk of court. On account of
the severity of war life Judge Ran
ard suffered more or less from
heart trouble most Of the time.
On Wednesday, July 9th he be-
gan suffering from a stroke Of par
tial paralysis. Medical aid was
Immediately rendered, but he sank
gradually, becoming weaker till
Tuesday evening, August lOth,
when he yielded to the inevitable.
When quite young Judge Ranard
united with the church, and at
Washburn he affiliated with the
Methodist Episcopal church being
q member Of the same at his death.
He gave clear testimony to abid-
ing faith in saving Christ during
his illness, and frequently spoke
Of the Lords goodness to him and
family. The last testimony the
pastor received at his bedside was,
Yes, ]; am trusting Him, He is
all I have" He leaves a devoted
wife, relatives and many friends
and acqnaintances to mourn his|
departure. Funeral services were
held at the Methodist church ~
the pastor, and interment was
made at the Conklin cemetery
where two Of the daughters were
buried.

THE DOCTORS REAL OPINION.

One of two sisters who lived to. gether was suddenly taken with a lung attack she feared was serious She therefore sent for a specialist and asked her doctor to meet him Talking over his coming with hel sister, she said; Mona, I wish could know Sir Henry Bs real opin- ion. Neither he nor Dr M. will tell us if there is really anything wrong, but I would much rather know"
 Her sister replied: Do not worry, dearest; you shall know everything, for l will go down to the dining room and stand behind the big oak screen and listen to every word they say"
 And you will be sure and tell me, Mona"
 You may rely on that. dearest; will tell you every word"
 'EveE if an not to get weli?"
 Even then, dearest" promised the loyal Mona.
 The hour for the consultation ar rived, and the sister went to the din ing room, and, standing behind the great oak screen, ensconced herself and prepared to listen.
 By and by the two doctors were heard descending the stairs, and a moment later they came into the room. Walking over to the fireplace the specialist sank into an easy chair and the local doctor sank into an- other. Then followed a moments silence, broken by the specialist, who leaned little forward. My dear M," he said, slowly, as he looked across at his colleague, "of all the ugly women, that's the very ugliest woman I've seen in my life. '
 'Is she?" replied the local doctor. "You wait until you've seen her sls- ter. "-[London Telegraph.

IT is evident from the disputation
growing out of the discovery OF the
north pole that the scientific gentle
man and Arctic explorer is altogether
human. even if almost canonized by
the gaping multitude He is jealous,
envious and predisposcd to question
the sincerity and truthfulness Of rivals
in the same field. The first words from
Peary after announcement OF his sue
cess in accomplishing the end he has
50 long sturdily striven for was de
NAL that Dr. Cook ever reached the
pole. In the early stages of verbal
conflict DR.. Cook certainly had the adj
vantage and won respect by his dlgnl-
~ of attitude and mildness of express
sion. Egotism is not wanting quail
~ in men who are striving for popular
applause. and as neither of the pole
finders seem deficient in that respect
some friction was to be expect where
rival claims for a great accomplish
ment are set up almos5 simultaneously
yet it is greatly to be deplored that
such grand event should be married
by unseemly wrangling. That DR..
Cook was not fortified with indisput-
able proof OF the success of his under
taking when he returned from the icy
desolation of the north is without ques-
ton, yet until there is stonger evil
dence presented of the falsity of the
claim than the simple denial made 10y
Peary, his statements are As worthy of
belief as those of Peary. If both men
reached the pole they accomplished
what men have died trying to do, and
others undergone untold suffering in
woeful failues, and the honor is suli-
Client to insure them both a place in
history for all time to come. There is
honor enough in winning after three
centuries of failure. even if divided in
two. 1t is a source of qualification to
know that Americans were the first
to find the pole, although the public
may have reason to regret that both
men did not lose their lives in the
effort if long drawn out unseemly
controversy is to be the result of the
climb to the top of the world.
