boiled down considerably-the weight
of the fish would have to be reduced
at least so per cent-before the

even then we should lay ourselves
open to be doubted and perhaps
called liar. This reminds US of a
story, sent in once upon a time, in
which the fish was alleged to be 30
pounds in weight. In the paper it
was cut down to 10 pounds, and great
was the Indignation of the nimrod

mailed him this apology: "We are
very sorry, but the mistake was un-
avoidable. We we're greatly pressed

LaFO1lette's Singular Confession

Senator La Toilette, working in
conference committee of the two houses
over the wool tariff bill, remarked: ::
1--WE are at work here at best with
blacksmith's tools, but this is safer
until we can have scientific revision.
This is only tentative."
The conference committee was sitting
with open doors in a temperature of
a hundred degrees, sledge-hammering
into shape an amendment to the
woolen schedules. And the talk
across the table, as reported in the
newspapers, showed that what both
Senator La Toilette and Chairman
Underwood don't know about the
woolen industry would fill a bulky
volume of the Congressional Record.
The bill was composed on INSULT

and intended to last the six or nine
months until scientific revision can

About the Same Everywhere.

St. Peter is another one of the towns
that was given an armory. The city
council promptly provided a 1880
site and $1,000 in cash. But it seems
that st. Peter has it's share of pin
heads and chronic kickers same as
other towns, as this paragraph from
the Free Press would seem to indicate:
"There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some of our people to balk
the erection of an armory, unless they
can get the building so located as
best serves their individual interests.
It is just this small pickering that is
responsible for the failure experienced
in the attempt of building up the

Crown Defeats Cambridge


The same fast Cambridge ball team
that has won considerable fame
throughout the country by winning
game after game from such city teams
as the Toozes, Unique, Co. A., and
others, trotted out on their home
diamond last Sunday intending to not
only win an easy victory from Crown
out in fact to wipe them from the
map, so far as base ball is concerned.
Their intentions we're Somewhat
shattered even so early as the first
inning and they soon discovered that
it was a different proposition than
they had bargained for. The final
score was 10 TO II in favor of Grown.
Groth, the much-lauded twirler,
graced the mound for Cambridge and
Immediately proceeded to wind up,
warm up and size up his opponents.
j. Angstman was the first Crown
player to face the demon of the mound
and the first offering was bumped on
the nose for clean SINGLE Walker
followed with another, and Angstman
in attempting to reach third was
thrown out. Mckinney, L. Angstmn
and A. Angstman all fattened their
batting averages in the first round
and two scores we're stored away in
the first inning for Crown. Cam
bridge took it upon themselves to tie
the score in their half, but after that
it was all Grown.
The game was featured, perhaps, as
much by the quietness of the Cam
bridge rooters as it was by errors
and heavy hitting. The errors on
both sides we're not as numerous as
they could have been, but too numer-
Gus to mention. Smith of Cambridge
starred for their team in batting, while
for Grown it was a race between the
Angstman boys and Mckinney for
heavy hitting honors. AL Angstman
led with four two-baggers, with Jess
q close second with two two-baggers
and two singles. Mckinney hit a
three-bagger and two-bagger, when
a hit meant runs.
Mckinney and j. Angstman did the
heavy work for Grown, while Groth
and Bunker held down the points for
Cambridge. Dowden and Yngve um-
pired a satisfactory game and proved
a hard combination to dictate to.

Early Morning Fire.

ing L. E. Svarry, who occupies the
apartments above Roadstrom's IS store,
was awakened by the odor of smoke.
The alarm of fire was quickly sounded
and in a remarkably short space Of
time the fire company was on hand.
The back part of Roadstrom' store
was found to be ablaze. The 6remen
entered through the rear door and
soon had the blaze under control.
The fire was confined purely to the
rear room, which was used for stor-
age purposes. Large quantities of win
ter underwear, mittens, coats, caps,
stockings and such goods were ruined
or damaged by the fire which burned
fercely in this portion of the build
ing. The loss in the main store is
occasioned purely by the deposit of
SCOT from the volume of smoke that
poured through the building. Much

BIG CREAMERY PICNIC
Farmers, Don't Miss the West Branch
Creamery Picnic at Uglem's
Grove Next Sunday.
Instructive and Interesting Speakers
Will Discuss Topics of Interest
to All Dairy Farmers.

Next Sunday, August 81, the annual
picnic of the West Branch Creamery
association will be held at Uglem's
grove, Greenbush. Each year these
picnics grow more and more popular,
especially among the farmers inter-
ested in dairying.
Many good speakers will be
present, among whom are Prof. G. P.
Grout of the university farm; J. r.
Morley of Owatonna, president and
manager of the Minnesota Co-opera-
tive Dairy association; F. D. Currier
and W. F. Schilling, officers of the
State Dairymen's association, and
some member Of the State Dairy and
Food department.. Topics of general
interest to farmers will be discussed
by these men, but matters pertaining
to dairying will be given precedence.
Mr.. w. F. Schilling of Mortified,
the famous breeder of Holstein-Fries-
ian cattle, and one of the best all
around practical dairy farmers in the
state, will be one Of the speakers at
the West Branch creamery picnic next
Sunday. He writes the Union:
Following the suggestion of your
paper will speak on the silo and it's
benefits at the creamery meeting on
the 9th inst" The silo question is
an important one to the dairy farmers
OF this vicinity and Mr.. Schilling is a
gentleman who thoroughly under
stands the subject and will speak from
practical experience. Every farmer
within reasonable distance should
endeavor to be present and listen to
Mr.. Schilling.
A good list of sports is also on the
program for the day, the principal
feature of which will be a ball game
between Long Siding and Blue Hill.
Vocal and instrumental music will
also be discoursed by local talent and
the day promises to be one of enjoy
ment. Ice cream and soft drinks as
usual may be procured at the stand.
Farmers should all make an effort
to attend as it is to their own interest
that they do so. The creamery
management goes to considerable
trouble to get up these annual pic
MICS, and the large crowds that have
attended them in the past testify to
the fact that their efforts are appre-
ciated as they should be.

Such was La F'ollette's con-

be had. Such was La t'ollette's con-
fession.
Supposing the bill could have be-
come law, was it worth while? Is
any tentative measure worth while,
particularly a six months or nine
months measure? A tentative mea-
sure, confessedly imperfect, can
afford no real relief in six or nine
months to consumer, and would
only disturb the woolen industry.
That industry should be called upon
to adjust itself only once, and then to
new schedules based upon scientific
knowledge and hence likely to endure.
The trainers of the bill, confessors
of it's deficiencies, could have had no
hope or notion that it would result in
any benefit to the people. Dis
turbance to business for it's own sake,
which does no good to the people, is
not justifable.
What then was the whole design of
the trainers? If they believed that
the bill ever would become law,
they would not be so jaunty in franz
ing it, for they would fear it's conse-
quences upon themselves. However,
they we're confident that the honest,
wise, strong man in the white house,
would veto the bill, which would let
them out, and which they trust would
"put him in bad" with the people.
La Toilette is too thoroughly as
sured of the credibility of misin-
formation. The people who demand
the reformation of schedule K will
recognize the insincerity of this extra
sessions efforts and will approve the
presidents insistence that the re-
formation be sincere and scientific
