The rain continued today, and
nearly all night, which will prob
ably put halt to the baseball game
which was scheduled between Man.

grounds. If the rain discontinues
today and the sun comes out, there
will be possibility that the grounds
will dry in time for the game to-
morrow. Should these two teams
meet for tilt, there is something
warm promised, something warm
enough to even take the chill out
of this football weather.

The bill for printing and getting
out the Commercial club advertising
booklets will soon be due and the
entire cost is about $1,000. The bill
for printing will be in in a few
days and the secretary asks mem.
bers who have not yet paid their
dues for the current year to send
their checks in at once and their
membership cards will be made out
These cards give the members the
privileges of the other commercial

Mankato club. The club also urges
the business men of the city to send
out the booklets where they will
do some good, and every business
man ought to buy from twenty-five
to one hundred to send out. A spe-
cial price is made on hundred lots.
New Ulm Journal: Mrs. M. Schil.
Ter, who resides on North Broadway,
has black Leghorn hen of which
she is justly proud, for this particu-
lar "biddy" produced monster
egg during the past week, which
holds the record for size as far as
is known by some of the experienced
poultry fanciers of this city, who
have seen it. The chicken that laid
the huge embryo chick is of the
ordinary size of other members of
the same species, which is not very
large. The unusually large egg was
measured and weighed in The Jour-
nal office and the elliptical circum-
ference is seven and seven-eighths
inches, while the "short" circumfer-
ence is seven and ne-eighth inches,
or only three-fourths of an inch less
than the former. The egg weighs
four and one-half ounces. The shell
is not as smooth as egg shells usu-
ally are, but small raised specks
practically cover most of the sur
face. ..-. ..-.
