that is being shown and looks for
good reports from pemberton in the
future.
The people at the Schultz hotel
found great interest In the person
of an Egyptian one night last week.
He was peddler selling linen and
trinkets. He was capable of talk
ing several languages and also sub
mitted some of his penmanship in
the Egyptian language which was
quite contrast from the English
Messrs. Art and Archie Dickey of
Muscatine, Iowa, who worked In
this community last summer at til
ing and concrete work, have re-
turned to this place. They are now
thing for the Coggeshall Bros. west
of town. 1t is job of ten thousand
tile to put in. All OF their last years
employers credit them as being first
class Tiers and cement workers.
Several shade trees were planted
in the school yard Oh Arbor Day. 1t
will also be of interest to all to
know that these trees are thriving
nicely and people about town own
ing stock should exercise care and
not allow them to run on the cam
pus as they may break off the trees
and then the labor and care of the
teachers and scholars will be all for
naught.
Chas. Schwitzer, manager of the
ST. Clair baseball team, is making
good in his chosen profession, es.
pecially from the financial stand
point, and from his motto it is un,
derstood that nou-rooters and Cheap
screws" are not desired on the
grounds. Mr. Schwitzer is getting
the team in first-class condition and
it has been rumored that he has en-
tered negotiations with Comiskey,
owner of Chicago White Soxs, for
the exchange of couple of players.
Last week the members of the
Catholic church of this place hauled
filling, gravel and other material
fer building a cement sidewalk from
the railroad crossing to the parson-
age johnson Bros. Of Mankato will
do the work. This ought to be an
induccment to other property owners
in town who have no sidewalks
as yet, for it is one of the things
that go to make a town neat, mod.
ern and healthful. and the people
here ought to continue the good
work which they have so nobly be-
gun.
st. Clair is fortunate enough in
having an enthusiastic sporting man
whose wonderful genius and ability
as promoter and wrestler tends
to make ST. Clair second Reno or
Goldfeld. But unfortunately for this
would-be white mans hope, people
hereabGuts give little heed to his
! eloquence, as they have reached
that state of civilization when they
regard ringside performance by its
respectable citizens as barbarism
and they also fear that if his char.
acter got good start it would re-
quire the combined strength, energy
Darkey Johnson to put him within
approach of any ones safety
! During the drenchipg rain last
/ Sunday afternoon the st. Clair
baseball team scored one of the
greatest victories Oh the local bal
park ever recorded in the annals OF
baseball history. Kinder, the pitch
er for the ST. Clair team, proved
himself something of a gunner, and
he was backed in o. X. style by his
pals in the back ground. The con
sequence OF this artistic work prov
ed shut out for the MankatC
team in the fourth inning by {
score Of Is to 0 in favor, of st
Clair. This is the first game the
local team played with all their owr
players and its start worthy o.
compliment on the part of all oul
citizen fans.
