Locals Gather the Douglas County
Seat School Team In to Tune
of IS to-

Last Friday the local high schoo
base ball team went to Alexandria
and defeated that school by score
of Is to Z.
The Sank Centre boys were up first
and batted clear through the list fol
a total of five runs in the first inn
ing. From then ON, the locals hit al
will and quit bringing in runs only
when tired.
Parker started to pitch for Sank
Centre, but he has not been able to
round into form. In the second inn
ing, with five runs in, one man out
and the bases full, Hopkins was sent
to the mound and did himself proud
in the way he worked After he
started to pitch, the Alexandria boys
made only three runs, two of which
were unearned.
A strong wind blew from the field
to home plate, making it hard work
to Judge any ball accurately. Nc
Evan, who was behind the bat for
Sank Centre, caught several men
trying to steal bases. Gingery at
third and Bunday at short, played ex-
cellent games, each accepting several
hard chances without an error. Sun
NJ JIM Butler at first was the par
ticular star at bat, getting four hits
out of five times up.
Next Friday, May 6, the two teams
will meet on the local diamond at the
fair grounds. This game should be
a good one. iScore by innings:

HAS GOOD CHANCE
c. N. Sprague and the Lieutenant
GOvenOrShip
FEELS QUITE HOPEFUL
Sank Centre Man is Receiving Much
Encouragement from Different
Parts of State

In the race for the Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor or
the Republican ticket, Sank Centre
has good chance of picking a plum
Sank Centres candidate, Hon. c. NJ
Sprague, is feeling pretty good these
days, thank you. Not a day passes
that he does not receive promises of
support, and these come from all
parts of the state. This naturally
causes Mr. Sprague to take a roseate
view of the situation. But he is not
taking anything fer granted; in fact
he is devoting his best efforts to
furthering his candidacy.
Mr.. Sprague's platform covers the
ground thoroughly. On all matters
that pertain to the good of the
state and for the promotion of the
general welfare he is in line with
the most progressive. Good roads
is one Of Mr.. Sprague's pet measures,
as he believes the best highways are
none too good for the state, and that
they contribute as much as any other
one thing to the prosperity of all.
His declaration on the temperance
question is in substance that if
elected to the office to which he as
plres he will, as presiding officer Of
the senate, see that temperance
measures receive fair treatment so
far as he is concerned. County op-
ton he holds with Governor Eberhart.
to be legislative function; and that
legislative committees should repre-
sent the people.
Mr.. Sprague is a successful bust
this community for many years, dur
ing which time he has succeeded in
every business project which he has
taken up. He has served on the
State Board of Equalization, having
been it's chairman four years. He is
in the prime of life and feels that, if
elected, he is fully capable of giving
to the office to which he aspires, and
to the state as well, service that will
count for the welfare of every citi-
zen of Minnesota and result in a
loving husband and ather:
square deal for all.

that was at one time on a casket, on
pc ssibly nailed to head boardof a
grave The engraving is in script
and is very plain, though the plate
is corroded.
1t is not known whether a man by
the name of Haseltine ever lived
here or not. A man named Davis
took up the claim, which now is the
farm on which Mr.. Carlton lives.
That was some years before the date
inscribed on the plate. Just how
the plate came to be in the place
where it was found is mystery. 1t
is an interesting relic, nevertheless.

THE COMET APPEARS
Heavenly Visitor is Visible With
Field Glasses in the Early
Morning Now

Halley's comet has been seen by
the people with the naked eye. Sew
eral people in St. Paul, Minneapolis
and elsewhere in the state have
caught a glimpse of the heavenly Wis
itor in the early morning hours. One
should be up as early as $3.50 p.
M to see the comet. The planet
Venus rises about the same time
and is very bright in the east, a lit
tie to the south. Halley's comet is
a little higher in the heavens and is
about the same distance north OF
east as Venus is south. The tail OF
the comet is also visible, but diff
cult to discern with the naked eye
But by using a good field glass the
tail is easily discernible. The comet
will rise at 2:3S a. m. Friday OF
this week.
On the 18th of May the comet
makes q transit across the face OF
the sun. From that time it will move
away from the sun. On the 18th
and for some days it is seen in the
evening sky. On the evening OF
May 20, it will set at S:11 p. m. and
will appear to be of enormous size
The comet is moving at the rate OF
some two million miles a day. 1t
will return in about Is years. If you
are here then, you may see it again
