THE 10000 CLUB TO MEET THERE
THIS MONTH.

The club women of ST. Peter, who
will entertain the 10000 club women OF
the state the last of the month, have
behind them IL splendid social tradi-

TENDER, says the Pioneer Press.
In the ifties and sixties, those days
of medieval nineteenth century ro-
nance, st. Peter had its share in tile
romance of the frontier. Those were
the days of Il spirit of adventure not
yet lost. 1t was the cultured people
OF the east and of the south who felt
this most kecnly, and voyaged toward
the northwest, not to grow up with
the country" but to capture something
of the vanishing horizon.
Thost who peopled st. Peter and St.
Paul were much of kind in those
days. and were intcrrelated by blood
and by business. The two towns were
each near forts, Fort Ridgley being

ONE OF THE PRETTIEST CON.
TESTS EVER WITNESSED HERE.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
In one of the prettiest games of ball
ever seen on a local diamond, the
Colored Gophers took the third and de-
Gliding game of the Series from the
locals here yesterday by a score of
to o. 1t was nip and tuck with
both sides having chances to score up
to the ninth inning when the Gophers
got three singles in row which de.
eided the game. Miner got a single
with Il man on third and first with two
down. If Lamb had passed Miner to
get at Marshall. who had not been
hitting in this series. the result might
| have been different.
Carlisle was brought in from the
outfeld to play the shortstop position,
while Kennedy covered second base.
The change was u good one, as the in
field seemed to be stronger yesterday
than at any time this season.
Both Pitchers in Fine Form.
Both pitchers were working in fine
form, with johnson having a shade the
! best of the argument, as he allowed
the locals but three hits, they coming
in as many innings, although two of
them were. doubles. Lamb pitched a
good game and kept the hits we'll scat
tered up to the ninth inning when
three singles in a row gave the visitors
the only run of the game. Mankato
had several good chances to score In
the seventh, Kennedy drove out two
Dagger to right field for an opener
but was caught when he tried to go
to third on an infeld grounder Nc
Dermott opened the eighth with a
screaming two Dagger over Miner, but
was caught in the same way. In the
locals last chance, Hensel was on Sec
ond with one down when Rognas hit
drive to Marshall, who speared it,
| doubling Hensel at second.
When the Gophers Were Dangerous.
The Goplers were dangerous in the
fifth, sixth and eighth innings, but
Lamb frightened up and there was
nothing doing on the score board. In
the ninth, Pangburn grounded out to
Lamb, Brown singled, johnson singled
Bowman hit to Carlisle, Johnson being
out at second. Miner singled to right
field, scoring Brown and Bobby Mar.
shall struck out.
The umpiring of. Frank Mullane in
this series was the best seen here this
season. Frank had many close ones
to decide, but didn't make one bad
decision, and both sides claim that
his decision on balls and strikes was
as near perfect as it is possible for al
umpire to be. The local management
has had great deal of trouble this
season on account of poor umpiring
which has spoiled some of the games
The score is as follows:

Blue Earth county. but during the last
week there have been noticeable waves
of disapproval and dissent moving
through the community because of the
plain unvarnished fact that money is
being freely used in Mr.. Wards behalf
That such is the case is an admitted
fact, and there is large element of
the voters who say with some empha
sis that it is no help to Mr. Ward.
When papers that have supported a
candidate freely and voluntarily up to
a certain date. and then within a per-
iod of seven days, come out and sup
port the opposing candidate with
great gusto and eXtravagant lauda-
lions, in black faced type, it is a
short turn to the conclusion that it is
not because the editor has been born
again We know that mems judg-
ment of principle or estimate of men
do not change with such rapidity
Doesn't Begrudge EN- the Money.
Now, no one begrudges the hard
working editor all the ''windfalls''
that the breezes may blow his way,
but it is the fact that money makes
the mare 90 little too much in
modern politics that disgusts the sub.
stantial voters Comment on this state
of things has been quite plentiful for
the last few weeks, and | have heard
several substantial men deprecate quite
earnestly of late the fact that man
without goodly supply of means can
not go up against those who have it i'll
abundance. / know nothing about
Mr.. EllswOrth's financial ability, nor
do / know how freely he uses money.
| but the fact remains that money is
talking pretty loud in Blue Earth
county politics at present.
Has No Personal Grievance.
81 am not stating any personal griev-
ance in so referring TO this money
proposition, and do not say but what
Mr.. Ward may be the most suitable
man of the two for the high position
lie seeks. but the thing that discredits
the national legislature with the PEG
pie more than anything else is the well
known fact chat too many places there.

sufficiently near the Minnesota river
town to afford as much of the mill
tary background as Fort Smelling gave
to the Mississippi river town. Then
the uncertainty as to which city would
be designated the capital led men and
women of distinction to the inland
town as frequently as to the border
city.
Mrs. Dodd. wife of Captain Dodd.
the hero of New Tim, is regarded as
the patron saint" of st. Peter, a
cultured, high-bred woman who was
the first to make her home there. Her
daughter, Mrs. Robert Lamberton,
lives in the old Dodd home, or an
evolution of that small structure, and
is member of the board of educa-
ton. while her son, John V. l. Dodd,
was lawyer in st. Paul at the time
of his death, eight or ten years ago.
Another early resident whose grace
and talent made the little city of the
early sixties distinguished, was Mrs.
Charles Z. Flandrau, the first wife of
the Minnesota jurist, whose daughter,
Patty Flandrau Selmes, became later
one of the leaders in st. Paul society.
The wives of three future governors
contributed largely toward the social
eminence of the frontier tOwn-bfrs.
Swift, Mrs. McGill, Mrs. Austin-all of
them living there in the days preced-
ing the Indian war, while Mrs. Cor
man, wife of one of the founders of the
town and a later governor, was a fire..
quent visitor.
Mrs. McGill, the first wife of the gov
ernor, was one of the Bryant girls.
who were great bellies in those days,
the other sister becoming Mrs. Treas
ure. They were daughters, of Bryant,
who wrote the history of the Indian
war, and sisters of j. c. Bryant of
st. Paul.
Other bellies of those days were the
Wainwright girls, splendid, dashing
girls they were. and the Slaughter
girls. One of these, Anne Eliza
Slaughter married Colonel Dandy of
the United States army, and their
daughter was married in Washington
a season or two ago with great social
splendor.
Other women of that period were
Mrs. Ivermore, the English wife of the
Episcopal rector. Mrs. a. w. Daniels,
related to the Wilders of st. Paul; Mrs.
Hezlep, Mrs. Knight and her sister,
Miss Delano; Mrs. Kerr. wife of the
Presbyterian clergyman and mother of
of the Westinghouse firm; Mrs. L. st.
Julien Cox, wife of one of the most
celebrated of Minnesota Judges, and
Mrs. I. A. Donahower. related to the
still residing in the town where they
have seen SO much important history.
Among the st. Peter women WHO
have gone into the world to makes II
name are Olive Fremstad, the opera
singer, remembered there as Annie
Fremstad; Mrs John A. Johnson, wife
of the late governor; Miss Irene Gault.

MANKATO TENNIS PLAYERS WERE
TRIMMED PROPER.
From thursdays Daily.

From thursdays Daily.
Something akin to the feeling that
comes over an aeronaut, as he leaves
the earth on his. first trip in an air
ship or finds, after dropping from a
balloon with Il parachute, ut IL height
of thousand feet, that the big UNI
brella will not open, came over the
fast MankatO tennis players yester-
day, us they met the Lakeiield won
ders. The local boys came onto the
field with all the confidence of u dem
Ocratic candidate for the presidency.
but within five minutes from the call
to play ball. they felt about the same
as this candidate on the night of cleo
ton. When the Lakcfield boys sent the
little white ball across the net, our
boys saw something that looked like a
white streak. They made Il pass with
their racquet, which was only stall
to make the spectators think they saw
the ball. As a matter of fact it was
only the motions of the man at the
other side of the court, that led them
to believe bail must be coming their
way.
The Story in Brief.
The story in brief is this: Messrs.
George and Stephen Bakalyar and
Charles Buresch, all of Lakefeld, passed
through the city OF. their way to
school. George Bakalyar is superin-
tendent of schools at Forest Lake. The
other two men are attending the uni
versity. Some weeks ago they wrote
the local Y. NJ. c. A. Tennis club that
they would like to stop over for a
series of games, if agreeable, to the
Mankato men. 1t was. The local men
had trounced everyone they had met
thus far and felt that here was a
chance for another seal or two. The
LakefeId boys reached the city yes
terday, a fine lot of fellows and look
ed perfectly harmless. They said they
were simply here to enjoy the sport
and had little hope of making any
showing.
The Free Press dislikes to mention
names and will simply say that the
first man up for Mankato met his OPP
penent with smile. The expression
had changed to that of wonderment
when the set was finished 1t re-
minded one of child constantly dis
covering something new, in this won
derful world. The second man up, hav-
ing seen the first exhibition. came for
ward with knees sinking, teeth chat
tering and u blanched face. 1t was
truly pitiablc. The third man. who had
not seen the previous ,slaughters, but
had heard about them, came forward
with an attempt at bravery. The way
he lodged about reminded one of a
frightened animal, trying to find Il
way of escape through the fence.
