BASE BALL

The Normal BASEBALL team was de-
feated on the home grounds Satur-
day by the Hamline U team, the
score being to 4. Normal played
a fine article of ball at times. and if
they could have kept up the pace,
should have won out But at
critical times the pedagogues would
slump woefully, both in fielding and
in base running. Things were going
along smoothly until the third round,
when Bob Moser, with two men
down and two strikes on the batter,
whirled around and threw wild over
second base, allowing two runners
to score. Several times in the fol-
lowing rounds Normal had men
on bases with none out, but nearly
always they were caught mapping
or remained frozen to the sacks in
stead of accepting chances TO score.
On the other hand the visitors
were right in the game all of the
time, and they took every chance
offered to advance a base. The
batting honors were about evenly
divided, the locals having eight hits
to the visitors seven.

THE GIRL AND THE TRAMP

Comedy will reign supreme at
the Opera House Friday, May 81,
when "The Girl and the Tramp"
appears for an engagement of one
night.
THE Girl and the Tramp" is a
new play which has beer written by
Carlos Inskeep to fill out the gap
which has been left by the passing
of the common melodrama with it's
unlikely characters and situations
and the high class musical show
which cannot proftably be given at
popular prices.
Fun the people always want. 1T
is to laugh" said Louis Mann and
theatrical men who take the money
know that a play which really will
produce the laughs always takes
the money.
In "The Girl and the Tramp" is
told the story of a man whose home
was ruined many years before the
play starts by villain and who has
been forced into the submerged
tenth" as a common tramp; we'll
educated yet saddened and reduced
to the level of vagabond, he roams
the country until the beginning Of
the play. He is engaged by the
same man who ruined his home,
but whose identity is not known to
him, to work out another piece Of
villainy.
AS soon as -"Happy Jack" the
tramp, learns what is expected of
him, be turns to help and not injure
the villains victims. With "Flo,"
a bowery girl, he finally works the
salvation of the family and finds in
Flo his long lost daughter. Miss
Mayme Gardener, the charming
young coincidence is seen as "Flo"
and with Pat ]. Kane, who plays
the tramp, she has several musical
numbers.
Miss Gardeners work is of the
fascinating order while her hand
ling of the soubrette role is win
some and charming. She formerly
was in vaudeville and her breaking
into the field of legitimate comedy
marks an epoch in the career of
young actress who is destined to
come to the front with rapidity.

A True Sentiment

What is good for Wisconsin is
good for all of us, is the motto of
the new Forward Wisconsin move
ment organized to concentrate and
utilize public opinion for the states
advancement. And it is a senti-
ment we'll worth the while.
This Forward Wisconsin move
ment has been organized into an as
ISOLATION of progressive Wisconsin
business men who plan to conduct
an explosion of Wisconsin products
and otherwise show to the world
the worth of this state. The plan
is to bring the interests of the state
together, to educate the people of
the state and nation as to Wiscon-
sins resources, abilities and pro-
ducts, and thus push the common
wealth forward into the position it
rightfully should occupy. For
there is no questioning the fact that
there is a great deal more to this
state than is generally appreciated,
and that Wisconsin has not had it's
fair place In the material progress
Of the nation.
And one of the most important
phases of this work is expressed in
the sentiment adopted as the slogan
of this movement. For too long the
sections and people of Wisconsin
have failed to appreciate how the
progress of the state means pro-
gress of everyone in the state. how
all are tied together in one bundle
with interests interdependent.
For too long sections, enterprises
or individuals have gone on the
idea that they can live in and on
Wisconsin while giving their SYM
pathy and patronage to other states
in matters in which they could be
as well-even better-served within
the state. There has been no open
ness in state thought, no real state
pride, no concerted activity looking
to the development of such pride.
This Notwithstanding the abundant
grounds for such pride in the his
tory, the development, the natural
resources of the state,
If this Forward Wisconsin move
ment can develop such pride, such
cooperating energy as will make the
state in all its parts really one, and
show to the nation what there is to
Wisconsin, it will do a noble work.

Population and Prosperity

1t is sometimes argued that the
growth of great cities is beneficial
to the farm er, in that they afford a
ready market, which he would not
otherwise have, for his produce.
But if the population, now concen-
trated in the cities, were spread out
over the country, there would be
just as many mouths to feed, the
produce of the farm would be equal
ly in demand, and at the same time
the increase of the rural population
would, bring great increment of
value to the land. The great mer-
camille houses of the cities would
sell just as many goods, also, or
more. So the so-called boosters
of the cities are making a mistake,
SO far as the general welfare OF the
state is concerned, in seeking to
draw manufacturing and other
enterprises requiring many hands"
to their several centers. The
growth of the cities, as we'll as of
the state at large, is more whole
some if such enterprises are located
in the country towns. Build
country, build town." is the motto
which will lead to general prosper
ity.-C. r. Barnes.

Early Normal Graduates to
Return at Commencement

That this Normal School is gain
ing the prestige Of age with the mel
low associations that memory brings
up is shown by the fact that the
coming Commencement week will
be made homecoming for many of
the early graduates of the school.
Especial interest centres around the
persons of First President and Mrs.
w. D. Parker who will be the honor
guests of that notable week. 1t APP
pears from reports received at the
office that the entire first class grad
uated from the Normal will be pres
ent. And many others associated
with the early days of the school
will return. Among these who ex-
pect to come are Mary E. Burt of
New Jersey, member of the first
faculty; ]. Q. Emery of the first
class, who lives in Madiaon; William
A. Sharper of the University of Min
nesota, and others too numerous to
name.
1t is President Crabtree's wish
to make the activities centre
around the first President Parker.
And in view of this, the Presidents
reception to the faculty, alumni,
students and citizens will be given
in honor of these guests. Presi.
dent and Mrs. Crabtree will issue
invitations for Thursday evening,
June 20, 8 to 10 p, m. at the Normal
School. The week of commence
ment with addresses by the speakers
engaged, the class play, will be ex-
cellent in intellectual aud entertain
ment features; and the reunion of
the first President, who gave the in
stitution it's ideals and spirit, with
the early students will lend charm
and dignity to the occasion afforded
by nothing else.

Glen Park Lodge Dedicated

The Ladies Improvement League
had perfect day for the dedication
of their new dining hall in Glen
Park last Thursday, and the people
turned out in large numbers to pat
ronize the affair. There were many
auto parties from out of town pres
ent, showing the interest neighbor-
ing cities are taking in the Improve
ment League work.
Hon. A. P. Weld delivered the
dedication speech and G. o..
Knowles raised the Stars and
Stripes over the new building. A
group of children from the Normal
school grades executed a very
pretty flag drill, and the Normal
orchestra furnished excellent music
during the dedication exercises.
The athletic attraction consisted
of ball game between the Wood
men and Foresters, in which the
latter won by score of to 4.
The League provided an excellent
dinner, the ladies serving over
six hundred people, and all were
served alike with an abundance of
good things to eat. A dance in the
Park pavilion followed the dinner,
the River Falls orchestra furnishing
the music.
The officers of the Improyen ent
League will compile report of the
financial condition of the League
and facts regarding the Leagues
work, which will appear in next
weeks issue. The total receipts
last Thursday amounted to about
1912, and the expenses of the day
amounted to $50. The ball game
brought in SIS; candy sale $40; the
dance $50, the remainder being
realized through the sale of dinner
tickets-about $240 The League
will also decide on a set of rules
pertaining to the use of the dining
hall, which will be PUBLISHED next
week.
In planning and carrying out
their program for this event the
ladies exhibited the wonderful abil-
ity and tireless energy which has
| characterized their every undertake
ing and which has won for them
the respect and support of every
citizen. A representative of. the
New Richmond News and Repub-
lican-Voice was present at the dedi-
cation Thursday, and in his report of
the affair, which appeared in that
paper last Saturday, he adds the
| following tribute TO the Ladies I'm
provement League;
"Their activities extend back
over period of a dozen years.
They have made manifest of fine
community spirit. Ihe1r MEMBER
ship includes ladies from all of the
churches, all organizations of every
name and nature, from all sections
of the city. They have never had a
scrap, never had meeting break
up in a row, never had rough
| horse over who shall be president
or have the most to, say-that has
never been decided, always being
declared draw. The league is a
band of noble, high-ninded, loyal,
patriotic women, devoted to the
best interests of the city which is
their home. They have the active
cooperation of those in civic
authority and with the citizens and
property owners generally"

Last Friday, Palmer, still gun
less, tried a new way. He sent
one of his brother thugs, similarly
deputized as a policeman for The
News, to bluff Mrs. Murphy into
giving up his gun. Mrs. Murphy
was not blufable.

rant in Judge Sabath's court,
charging Mrs. Murphy with
stealing gun, agold watch and
$50 from him..
: The case was called Saturday.
Mrs. Palmer, under arrest, was
taken into court. Palmer was not
in court, having left town for rea-
sons best known to himself, The
Daily News and the police.
But Palmer was represented in
court. An attorney from the Of

The continuance was granted

E. T. Palmer was brought to
Chicago by The Daily News,
given deputy policeman's com
mission. a star and revolver, and
told to ride on The Daily News
wagons and break the strike.
Palmer's wife came to Chicago
with him. They found rooms at
a house owned by Mrs. L. Muir

Two weeks ago, Mrs. Murphy
was called to the telephone at her
own residence on LOOMS street
by Mrs. Palmer. The wife of the
strikebreaker said her husband
was numbering her, and begged
Mrs. Murphy to come to her aid.
Mrs. Murphy did. Mr., and
Mrs. Palmer still were fighting.
Mrs. Palmer accused her husband
of being bigamist, a ticket-of-

Also, during a lull in the scrap,
she contrived to slip Palmer''s re

One party of berry pickers saw a ''big black bear' which seemed in no hur- ny to leave so the B. P.'s said they had lost no bears and came hurrying back to quarters. Sev |eral amateur base ball games were pulled off as we'll as a lot of single and double games of Iquoits which were exciting in a degree. A delicious lunch was served at noon, and at 5:30 p. m. a royal dinner of spuds and Salmon, roasted in the hot ground. A pleasant feature of the occasion was the presentat- ion to Mrs. Geo.
