Mrs. Parkinson suffered a handi-

Mrs. Parkinson suffered a handi-
cap by being married. The public
generally wanted to award the piano
to a girl who had to depend on her
self, and Mrs. Parkinson accepted the
situation cheerfully and made no ef-
fort to get a divorce. In fact she
had more fun out of the contest than
any of the others, for she never
manifested great concern over the
matter and by her splendid cheer
and unconcern she left the impress
sion with many people that the prize
would seek her in the end, yet she
never asserted any claims for herself.
The other girls were scared" about
her all the time, and the pleasing
smile with which she always greeted
them, only served to keep them won
dering if she had any short cut to the
goal. This is one of the amusing
cases where people look back and
laugh at their misapprehcnsions.
The second prize is a 5000 duebill
on another piano like the first prize.
Delivery of the piano to Miss Kirk
patrick will be made Saturday after
noon at $3.50, and her brother will
furnish transportation to the home
in the Dippel addition.
We believe the public are satisfied
with the contest, and so far as we
know, approve of the manner in which
it has been conducted. The prize
was placed on exhibit early so all
could see what it was, and once more
the management has demonstrated
that a popular girl contest conducted
on clean business principles and fair
rules is good sport and worthy of
peoples attention.
We are indebted to the two dozen
firms who participated in issuing
voting coupons, and especially to the
DeKay Grocery company for their
generous patronage of our advertis-
ing columns all through the contest
and for their loyalty and enthusiasm
for the game.
Following is the vote:

Listen to This.

In speaking OF the productiyeness
of Iowa soil, listen to this story told
by Deputy Sheriff Charles Brfney,
and substantiated by him with good
and sufficient proofs. In excavating
for the basement OF the new McGreg-
or building on High avenue West, the
dirt was hauled to several different
places, and the sticky clay that came
from the very bottom of the basement
was taken to a ditch on the west side
of North A street In the 600 block
and dumped Now, the workmen
who hauled the dirt fed their teams
in the basement, while working,
from boxes on the back of their wag-
ons. Naturally, some Of the corn
spilled out of the boxes and was In
due course hauled away and dumped
with the clay. Imagine the surprise
of Mr.. Briney one day this week to
find that the corn had taken sprout
In the clay and rubbish of the ditch
and had actually grown to a height of
several feet. Furthermore, there was
"a large patch Of 1t and Mr.. Briney

could give many reasons known to my
self but it would take too much space
in a letter and will state but two or
three. First, the Eaglish children 90

much more fuel to keep warm, also
much more clothing to keep warm
than Ia England; also the fuel is much

shoemakers in Northampton get more
wages than in Wollaston but living,
rent and other things are much higher.
For instance, the Wollastom shoe
maker pays for rent per week $1.3l,
in Northampton they psy for about
she same house $500 per week. This

three rooms down stairs and two up

Second Game

In the second game the Ryan bat
ting worked we'll and should have had
a shut out as the Kipps did not score
until the 9th when the Sox made 3
errors, the first of the game, and with
Corcoran's two Dagger scored two
runs. Pitcher Fiizgibbons started TO
pitch for the Kipps and lasted until
the 3rd when after the SOX had scored
runs he gave up and Pratt, who took
his place, pitched good game. The
S0x scored 3 runs in the 4th inning,
but it was not his fault altogether, as
his support slackened up a little.
Anderson lead in the batting, m sking
two singles and a double and fielding
his position finely. In fact the Sox,
all of them, folded well and it was
only in the 9th inning that they fell
down q little or we would have had a
scoreless, errorless game. The Sex
pulled off double plays, and Johnnie
Ryan cut off two players, running
down to second with q man on third,
something that does not occur often
outside of the big leagues. The day
was very hot, 100 in the shade and
little or no air, out there was good,
patient crowd in attendance who
seemed to be pleased with the game.

The Kipps of Madison gave the pa

ton furnished by Madison teams this
season. The first game score was 5 to
4 and the Red Sox were forced to earn
all of their runs, John Ryan making 4
of them. Stewards return to the
lineup was welcomed as he batted in
three of the first runs made in his first
three times to bat. Davis started in
to pitch for Baraboo, but when the
Kipps tied the score in the 4th inning
Jimmy Ryan went in and allowed
them but one more run. The game
was tie up to the last half of the
Oh when Johnnie Ryan, the third
man up, got two Dagger and scored

Pitcher FitZgibbons, for the Kipps,

this season of any one the Sox have
been up against. The band furnished
good music and the attendance was
fair considering the hot day. Score
