DOde Fiske is Sore.

Uncle Dode Fisk sends greeting to
the editor of this paper with cheering
message that he will beat his (the
editors head off the very first time
he catches him out And that is
what makes us scared, we are afraid
he might possibly make good the
threat. We never have had our head
beaten off, although we have never
wanted for the promise of it. Uncle
Dode is not the first to make the
proposal, and as all the other fellows
have failed to make good we live in
constant fear that he may, perchance,
do the trick. And all these proposed
beatings have come about because we
insist, once in a while, in printing
the truth. We told some things about
the way Dode was playing it on the
people, and he heard about it. Then
the foolish old Snowman got sore.
It is silly of fellow to get sore be-
cause somebody tells bit of truth
on him; but the world is so operated
that man will feel more sick over
a line of. truth than over column of
fiction. The trouble with the whole
business is, our innocent little item
got into the Show World, the circus
mems paper, and the showmen are all
laughing at Dode. He will feel
better, after he has finished working
his COW lottery skin game on the
people. In the meantime, we shall
remain badly scared. -Boscobel Dial

Although rain made y bad
beginning for the Bloomington fair,
the weather cleared about noon
Thursday, and a decent fair was the
the result.
On account of damp and cloudy
forenoon the attendance Thursday was
lighter than last year, and many who
expected to make exhibits failed to
bring their property.
The ball game between Galena
and Muscoda was the feature OF
Thursdays program. The two teams
battled for eleven innings before
score was made, when a slight error
by Muscoda permitted Galena to run
in four scores in the first half of the
twelfth. Muscoda failed TO score.

DIVIDE IN ATLANTA.
Mobile Gets One Out of the Seven
 Games.

Atlanta, May S.-It was an even break between Mobile and Atlanta in the dou- bleheader today By winning the first one Mobile managed to get one game out of seven with Atlanta. The series here two weeks ago was lost by Mobile and three of the four out of the series just closed went to the home club. Atkins pitched the first game and was presented with a magnificent silver service while at the plate, as a gift from his teammates. The occasion for this is his approaching mar riage which Is to be here Tuesday after, noon. Atkins, however, had the misfor tune to lose his game. Rogers, the tall- est pitcher in the league, started off for Atlanta in the second game in good style but in the sixth inning was hit freely. Fisher took his place and finished out This game was called on account of dark ness in the seventh. The first game was delayed 15 minutes by rain that came up in the second inning. Sid Smith was sent to the club house during the first game by Umpire Moran. They had words at the plate although Smith was not in the game. He spoke to the umpire as he was passing from the coachers box at third. Moran instantly ordered him out of the grounds. Smith started to catch the second game but while running to first in the second inning sprained his back. The scores of both games:

 It will be noted from the above that the sum of $500 was taken out of this years income and applied on last years salaries This was done by der of the board at the last annual meeting in order to raise salaries from $120O to $500. Notwithstanding this draft on the years income, you will be gratifed to note that the income for the year has been practically suf- ficient to pay the salaries in full on the increased basis of $500. This is particularly gratifying when it is re- memberer that the sum of $2631 22 was taken out of the first years in- come after my connection with the col lege began and applied on back salaries.
 The increase of the annual assess ment on the conference for the col 1ege from $S000 to $10,000, and the reasonable increase we may expert from tuition next year, will put the salary account on a better basis than ever before.

 Considering the condition of the grounds the games were played fairly well. There were few sensational performances. Compton at certain stages was brilliant. Henline and Adolesworth made spectacu- lar catches Dickson and F1eharty were both exceedingly hard to discover. Bou- cher, at short for Little Rock, made some clever plays, and Perry was splen- did at third. The heavy hitting of Me Gilvray was a feature.
