The local base ball team was
the victim of a massacre at the
hands of the Bayfield, team last
Sunday afternoon at Bayfield,.
The score Is to l fairly repre-
sents the relative strength of the
two teams as far as this particu-
lar game is concerned, although
we believe that our team on
home grounds would play better
ball. The feature of the game
and the only comforting thought
was the home run made by Joe
Veno of the Washburn team,
Mr.. Veno made the only score
we had to our credit, and that
score was made on a clean hit
over the center field fence, said
to be the longest hit made OF the
Bayfield, grounds. About a hun
dred and fifty enthusiastic base
ball faas marched up the hill and
then they marched down again.
They accompanied the team to
Bayfield,.

CONTROL
QUACK GRASS
Two Most Noxious Weeds in
State Must be Kept I'm
der Control.

The two most serious noxious
weeds IN Wisconsin are quack grass
and Canada thistles, and they are
very difficult to eradicate. While a
number of weeds are causing serious
losses to Wisconsin farmers these
two are the most serious and should
be kept under most rigid con troll.
Quack grass multiplies by seeds and
rootstocks, chiefly by means of the
latter The rootstocks or under
ground stems are very hardy and
when cut and dragged over the field
by farm tools a new plant springs up
from each piece cf the rootstock.
The seeds may be thres he'd with
grain and distributed with it to
other farms or may be carried in
hay.
The Canada thistle is spread in
much the same way as quack grass.
Quack grass is most hardy and
any method which will control it
will get rid of Canada thistle also.
For large areas clear cultivation
of the field either with or without
crop is the most effective method. A
badly infested field should be clean
cultivation or followed throughout a
season. The soil should be plowed
four times or more, deep enough TO
reach the horizontal roots. If a
crop of corn is grown the next season
and thoroughly titled the weeds will
probably be completely killed. The
field should be watched closed and
and any stray plants which may
have escaped hoed out. A spring
tooth harrow is better than a disc
harrow for such cultivation.
On small areas the quack grass
and thistles may be killed by cover
ing with tar or heavy Building pap
er, which is weighted down with
stones or earth.

NORTH WIS. CROPS
FAR In THE LEAD
Prof. r. A. Moore of Agricui-
tural College Reports
on Conditions.

Madison, Wis. Aug. 16.-That
northern Wisconsin crops are
faring better even than those OF
the southern section seems prob
able, according to Prof. r. A.
Moore of the state agricultural
college. Winter and spring
wheat looks exceedingly well, he
said. Glover, corn and potatoes
are also in good condition. In
other sections potatoes are only
a half crop. Mixed hay is also
a short crop. Light rains fell in
this vicinity but little good will
follow. Nothing but a good
soaking rain will bring up the
pastures. Feed is so short that
farmers in ever-increasing mum.
bers are selling their stock at
whatever prices they can get.

NOxiOus Weeds

Our attention has been called
to the fact that as yet no official
order has been given this year
for the cutting of noxions weeds
that grow upon the streets and
highways of the city, and as the
seeds are now almost ripe it will
soon be too late to cut them to
be of any good. The cutting of
the weeds each year is something
that should have the attention Of
the authorities for if they are
let go one season without cutting
they will be twice as hard to kill
the following year. The matter
of expense is but a trifie when it
is considered the amount of good
that is done.

In our editorial list last week
anent the Assembly situation we
made the statement that Assem-
blyman Hammill attended the
Stalwart convention at Milwau-
kee last month. We were wrong
and hasten to correct it. We
are opposed to Mr.. Hammill for
the reason that he does not de-
clare himself forLaFolIette even
though the people decide for La
Toilette. but we do not want to
give publicity to an untruth.
We got our in formation from the
list of names contained in the
Milwaukee papers. A news
paper is nothing if not truthful,
especially in a contest of this
kind.

Lovers Quarrel Ends Fatally
at Ashland
George Ellison Shoots Louise
Billet and Then Commits
Suicide.

Ashland, Wis, Aug. 16.-As a
result of a lovers quarrel Miss
Louise Billet was shot last even
ing at II o'clock by George Eli
son, who then turned the gun on
himself and sent bullet through
his brain. causing instant death.
Young Ellison and his victim
attended the carnival earlier in
the evening, but became separat-
ed afterwards and Ellison pro-
ceeded to the home of the girl,
and when she arrived accompani-
ed by a younger sister and her
mother, he engaged her in con.
versation while the mother and
daughter proceeded on their way
hCMe.
After a few words he drew a
revolver and shot twice at the
girl, both bullets taking effect.
Miss Billet is now at Rhinehart's s
hospital but very little hope for
her recovery is entertained by
the physicians. AS Ellison is
not a drinking man the only
reason for the act is jealousy on
his part.
The girl is q years of age and
lives with her widowed mother
while Ellison is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Gus Ellison, well known
and respected people of the east
end of the city.
