Card of Thanks.

On behalf of my entire family, I
wish to return our heartfelt thanks
to the many generous friends who
stood by us, with such unwearying
kindness during the time that my
daughter, Georgia Donnelly, was
called upon to suffer before entering
upon the rest prepared for the
children of Cod" and crossed to the
beautiful home over there"
Seldom have any in need of SYM
pathy and most devoted friendship
received so full a measure of the
best fruits of the human heart.
May the bread that they have so
lavishly and generously cast upon
the waters return to them after many
days and He who "tempers the wind
to the shorn lamb" protect them
from all harm and long shield them
from the sorrow, sickness and death
incident to humanity; and when they
come, as come they must to one
and all, may they be sustained and
comforted by friends as noble,
generous and devoted.
Mrs. Jas. M. Donnelly.

baseball, and will remain as treas
urer of the club. It is the intention
of the team to play on the per cent
age basis, and none of the money
which was subscribed will be used,
except as absolutely needed to make
up any deficiencies that may exist,
from time to time. It is believed
that this method of handling the
baseball proposition during the sum-
mer will prove more satisfactory.
It is the intention to get the
best players among the local ball
lists and to add two or possibly
three new men who will give.

DR.. Koch resumed the stand yes
terday afternoon for further cross
examination by Senator Peterson
and said that he charged $500 for
administering dose of i 900 units
of antitoxin. He had charged Mr..
Dade $500 for dose of :, 200 units.
This was followed by more discus

buildings and as to the view Of the
corner from the window Of DR..
Koch's Office, at the end of which
the defense rested with the accep-
ton of the diagram of the location
of the hospital and other buildings
near the corner.
The plaintiff called Reverend
Barackman in rebuttal. The wit

quest of the family and held devo-
tional exercises. In cross-examina-

Ruth Johnson was recalled and
remembered going after Reverend
Barackman on this occasion. She
thought it was the night before she
and Della had their interview with
DR.. Koch. Alfred had gone over
to the doctors Office early in the
evening, returning about $50.
Della Johnson took the stand and
recalled the conversation at the
hospital between she and her mother
and DR.. Koch. Witness declared
that the doctor had pushed her
mother out of the door and then took
her by the arm and pulled her about

Reverend Barackman had been at

Tomorrow afternoon, the first
game of baseball in which the Be-
midi city team will participate will
be played at the downtown ball
park in this city; and fans" gener-
ally, are curious to know just what
kind of material there is in the city
for the formation Of a fast ball
organization this year.
The Walker city team will be the
opponents of Bemidji. The Cass
county seat always has a good
bunch" of players residing in that
village and Whereabouts, and headed
by the redoubtable Ed" Rogers,
are able to make any opposing club
go some" With Pepin and Rog-
ers they have two good pitchers, and
Sandy is a steady catcher who un-
derstands the game thoroughly.
For the Bemidji team, the local
organization has not yet been fully
completed and tomorrow's game
will be more in the nature of a try
out of players for positions on the
team.
