scattered in the first game, and in
the second Lefty Schultz yielded only
seven swats. The Yanks have won
eight out of their last IL games, and
are pressing the Browns for seventh
place.
Joe Wood stopped the Athletics
with four hits, Bostin winning easily
by hammering Bush. Duffy Lewis
punched a triple and single, both
figuring in the scoring.
Marty o'TooIs pitched a regular
game, holding the Giants to eight
hits. Tesreau and Fromme were

catcher, and Wood, the new out

three hits. Every Pirate got at least

10000 Trout FRY Here.

Yesterday noon a large shipment
of $1,000 brook trout fry arrived in
DEBORAH from the government hatch
cry at Manchester, consigned to the
DEBORAH Rod and Gun Club, for Win
neshiek county streams. The officers
of the club took them in charge and
distributed them to the various
streams of the county, which includ-
ed the Addicken creek, Trout Run,
Trout River, Canoe creek and Bear
Creek. If given protection and if
not illegally caught there are enough
trout in the streams of the county
now to make fishing excellent in all
of them within a year or two. Last
year several shipments of trout, bass,
crappies, etc. were received, and the
club members hope to get several
more this year.

Deputy Fish and Game Warden

B. E. Bucknell, secretary of the
DEBORAH Rod and Gun Club, has re-
ceived the appointment of deputy
game and fish warden from the state
fish and game commissioner, Hon. E.
G. Hinshaw. His duties will be to
see that the laws regulating the pro-
pagation and destruction of fish and
game are obeyed, not only within
Winneshiek county but anywhere in
the state that he may be called.
Mr.. Bucknell is a splendid man for
this office, young, active, a lover of
fishing and hunting, and we'll ac-
quainted with every stream in the
county and with large proportion
of the people, he is in position to
give good service, and those who
know him believe that violations of
the law will not be tolerated during
his term of office. There is no reason
why Winneshiek county should not
afford the best fishing and hunting in
Iowa, and he proposes to do his part
to see that this is brought about.

New Tariff Hits the Farmer.

The new democratic tariff bill will
work great injury to the Iowa farm
er, according to the opinion of Rep
resentative Green, of the Ninth Iowa
district, and a member of the ways
and means committee. In a state
ment Mr.. Green refutes the argu-
ments the democrats are circulating
concerning the benefits of the pro-
posed tariff bill to the farmer. He
says
If the farmer is deceived by the
pretense that his interests are pro-
tected by the new democratic tariff
bill he will be enlightened as soon as
1t becomes a law. 1t is true that 10
cents a bushel is retained on wheat
but all kinds of -four, bran, ETC., are
admitted free except where a duty is
imposed thereon by the country from
where ii is imported.
Canada put a duty on wheat but
the customs department Of that coun-
try can take off this duty without
making new law, and will prompt
ly do so to help their mills against
ours. 1t will be impossible for our
millers to compete with the Canadi-
ans on -four which will be imported
from that country.
1t is plain that the American farm
er will be as much injured by the Inn
portation of -four as he would be by
the wheat from which it is made. In
either event the American grain is
displaced by foreign product and
our small grain markets must fall to
a level of that of Canada. Until our
markets are settled the American
millers will be seriously injured and
the American farmer knows too well
the advantage of the competition of
his local mills to wish to have them
put out of business.
The situation as to meats is still
worse. Meats of all kinds including
the smoked and cured are admitted
free under the democratic bill and a
duty is put upon cattle. If meats
come free from Canada or Argentina
they must displace American meat
and diminish the market for Amer
lean cattle. The duty on cattle with
meats free not only does the Ame,i-
can farmer no good but is positively
damage.
Young cattle are relatively raw
material for the American farmer
who feeds and grows them, but IL he
is to replenish his stock from Car
ada or Mexico then under this bin ne
must not only compete with their
cheap lands and cheap labor, bur
must pay tariff on the young stock
and sell the finished product to pack
ers who will pay him on the basis of
free meats.
Representative Green notes that
the bill is approved in England be-
cause the London Daily Chronicle
says 1t means wool and meats from
australia, lumber of Canada, pota-
toes from Ireland, manufacturers
from England" England will natural
ly welcome tariff bill which will al
low the products of her colonies to
come into the United States for COM
petition with our products.

Passing of Lawrence H. Rvge.

Lawrence H. Rygg, a well known
resident of this city for many years,
passed away on Monday, after an i'll
ness from cancer of the stomach
since last September. He was born
Dec. %, 1881 at Frostan, Norway,
and emigrated to the United States
in 1870, locating at Hesper, this
county, soon afterward moving to
Cresco, and later to Fillmore county,
Mimi, where he engaged in farming
and worked at his trade as stone ma
son. In 1890 he sold his farm and
moved to this city, where he has since
lived. He was married to Miss Anna
Severtson in Frostan, Norway, in IS
"a, and to this union six children
were born, who, with the wife and
mother, survive him, viz: Hans and
John of Decorah Andrew, Spring
Valley, Mimi; Johnas, Mrs Mary C.
Clausen and Mrs. Sophia Twenge, De-
corah. He also leaves twenty grand
children and two great grandchild-
rem. He was the last of family of
six brothers and one sister.
The funeral services were held
from the United Lutheran church

dustrious citizen, good friend and
neighbor, who had many friends and
will be missed from the community.

Hotbeds of SnObbery.

Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, Chicago's
militant superintendent of schools,
has set her foot down on the "kid
fraternities She wages as relent-
less war against these baby secret
societies as Betsey Trotwood waged
against donkeys or Cato against Car
thage. Undaunted by the formidable
Greek alphabet, she has expelled en-
tire sororities or ''frats" in about the
same offhand manner that one would
take light exercise before breakfast
Their injured protest of their high
ideals and lofty purposes do not con-
vince her. To Mrs. Young's sensible
and democratic nature they are mere
ly hotbeds of snobbery. They are un-
American and mischievous. They re-
tard scholarship and divert the in
terests of school life into unwhole-
some channels. Their Importance is
unduly exaggerated. They come into
child's life at the most impression
able age. Many a boy or girl who
has nothing to apologize for but pow
erty, who is otherwise lovable and
sweet, has left school heartbroken
and given up the dream of education
merely because of the social ostra-
cism practiced by these "holier than
thou" combinations.-Collier's Week
