WHEELER SAYS.
DAKOTA TEAMS
ONE BEST BET
Tailor-made Leader of Grand
Forks Team Perfectly Salts
fled With His Ball Crew.
K KEEN-EYED MANAGER
STRONG ON DISCIPLINE
Admits He Has Strongest Ag-
gregation of Players But
Hands Boquet to Superior.

Eddie, Wheeler, tailor-made from
shoes to hat, arrived here last even
ing with his Grand Forks ball crew
and took quarters at the Fay hotel.
Eddie's habiliment is faultless. There
is not one mistake in his makeup.
lie is a keen-eyed little fellow and
greatly resembles the members of that
class of humanity whose principal pas
time is clipping financial coupons.
Eddie is sure all to the mustard on
form. His decorum, which is perfect,
is greatly reflected in the actions of
his players. They are all tidily (not
gaudily) garbed. Eddie is no cad.
Manager Wheeler is bugs on disci-
pline. He is first up in the morning
and his men give up their pillows
shortly afterwards. Grand Forks eats
breakfast during the hours prescribed
on the bill Of fare-not at noon. They
then drill out into fresh air and initiate
their breathing apparatus with health
full ozone.
81 think I have the best ball club in
the league" said Manager Wheeler.
4 have been fortunate in assembling
a crew in which there is not one hole.
Every man on my team fits exactly
into the position which he is holding.
I am satisfied to stand or fall with
;he men l have. We have had good
uck, only one player, Catcher Bren-
IAN, being on the sick list.
"In my opinion, Superior has the
next best club. The Wisconsin crew
is we'll balanced in both fielding and
stick work and, believe, will be seri-
Gus contenders for championship
honors. Ft. William has a great club
and when Lizette's men can hit their
stride they are going to show strong.
81 am glad to know that Umpire
Carney is to officiate in our games
with Virginia. He is an excellent
amps and l am sure the local players
and fans will be stuck on his work."
Grand Forks is booked to play four
games on the local lot, the last one be-
ing on Sunday. AS this is their first
visit to Virginia, and from the fact
that they are leading the league, it
is expected that record crowds will
go to see them perform.
II am not surprised that the Nor
5hern league is anxious to transfer
the Winona team to Port Arthur -
said Wheeler. Our Sunday attendance
there was just three dollars over the
guarantee. On week days the aver
age attendance is about ten."

WATER GAS IS
BEST FOR CITY

If Virginia installs a gas plant it
will be found that a water gas plant
will be most economical for the needs
of this city, according to John Ken
nedy, former superintendent of the
water and light plant, who returned to
his home in Virginia this morning
from trip to St. Louis, Pana, Ills,
Hillsboro, Ills., and Des Moines, where
he has been looking over water and
coal gas plants to get line on which
will best serve the city of New Ulm,
where Mr.. Kennedy and others have
recently been granted a franchise.
'ln the city of Des Moines the gas
plant has approximately 100000 pa
trons," said Mr.. Kennedy today, "and
the general opinion of gas experts
there is that Des Moines could not af-
ford coal gas plant because the fuel
consumed and equipment would be
prohibitive."
Superintendent Harding of the city
water and light plant and Secretary
Murphy of the water and light COM
mission visited the plants at St. Louis
and Pana with Mr.. Kennedy. They
return to Virginia tomorrow.

trict in Virginia last night, when he
addressed large and interested open

avenue and Chestnut street.
Mr.. Boyle was hoarse from con-
tinued speaking, but he gathered and
heldea large crowd. For the past week
he has been making vigorous cam
paign of the range and has delivered
an average of six addresses a day.
On the range the Senator is in the
hands of his friends. He was every
where we'll received and at the con-
clusion of his speech in Virginia last
night he expressed himself as we'll
satisfied with the prospects for his
nomination.

his home at Eveleth to Duluth. To-

goes to Moose Lake, where he speaks
Friday evening. Saturday he will
cover Carleton county as we'll as it is
possible to cover it by automobile
Sunday he returns to Duluth and the
remainder of his time will be spent in
that city.
Mr.. Boyle's speech in Virginia last
night was review of his legislative
record, touching on his connection
with the Workmen's compensation act,
the mothers pension bill and the
minimum wage law. Indicating his
position on national issues he said
the day of special privileges had
passed. He declared in favor of
world wide peace and said that war
was the greatest crime of modern
times. He advocated the building of
a breakwatr for the Duluth Superior
harbor and said the congressman from
the Eighth district should be on the
job and should study the needs of his
constituency and keep in close touch
with it.
i, Confidence at Headquarters 80 PC
Reports coming in to Boyle head
quarters at Duluth are Of the most
reassuring nature. Senator Boyle's
supporters there are claiming he will
carry the city of Duluth over Con-
gressman Miller, while the news from
the ranges is Of the most reassuring
nature. Senator Boyle has made a
clean campaign and wherever he has
had an opportunity to meet the people
he has made fine impression. In
Virginia loyal organizatio Of per-
sonal friends are working in his behalf
and he will receive big vote here.
In Hibbing also the Senator has devel-
oped strong support Mayor Power of
that city is one of his strongest sup
porters. His home city of Eveleth
will also give him big vote and from
all sections of the range come reports
that if they are borne out in the elec-
tion returns should assure his nomina-
tion by snug majority.

Ninety DAYS at Duluth.

Sentenced to pay $102, one of the
heaviest fines ever imposed upon a
prisoner in the municipal court of
this city on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly, was what happened to
Ole Nelson when he appeared before
Judge Carey this morning. He was
arrested last night at the instigation
of his wife, who charged him with
having started a rough house and of
trying to frighten the children of the
neighborhood of Larch street, where
the family lives. Nelson has been up
before Judge Carey on numerous oc-
casions during the past few years,
and it was because of this fact that
the court gave him such a heavy SEN
tence. Not being able to pay his fine
Nelson was given 80 days in the coun-
ty Jail. He was taken to Duluth this
afternoon by Deputy Sheriff O'Dea.

GREAT UNREST
(BY ASSOCIATED PRESS,

LONDON, June 11.-Another war
between Greece and Turkey is fore
shadowed by the Times, which saws
that unrest in the Balkans has become
acute. Several Of the states, it says,
have recently been employed in clear
ing their newly acquired territory of

the Grecians have been the principal
sufferers.
The unrest is attributed by the
newspapers to the direct policy of
young Turks in expelling all Greeks
from Asia Minor and Turkish Greece,
1t is believed that this policy preludes
declaration of war upon Greece, the
main object being the reconquest of

Ovation When She Mounts
Platform.
(BY ASSOCIATED PREsS)

CHICAGO, June 11-Suffrage ad-
vocates among the delegates to the
biennial convention of the General
Federation Of Women's clubs, are busy
marshalling their forces in prepara-
tion for the expected battle over the
suffrage resolution, which it is re-
ported, might be offered to the con-
vention at any moment.
Leaders of the suffrage wing ex-
ulted openly over the outburst Of ap-
plause that last night greeted Jane
Addams when she made her first state
ment for the suffrage cause to be
heard from the platform after the con-
vention was officially opened.
"Without the franchise" said Miss
Adams, women are suddenly out of
the game. The game is played all over
the world. This is proven by the
statements of those who are, at this
very moment, trying to translate the
new school of sympathy into political
action"

VIRGINIA IS
IN NEED OF A
WEATHER MAN

Virginia, city Of $4,000 people is
without weather man, has been
without one for some time, and conse-
quently is compelled to accept any,
thing in the way Of weather that a
rank outsider is minded to hand out.
The only weather resorts now received
in the city are those coming to the
various railroads. There is no regu-
larly appointed representative of the
federal weather bureau here, but
farmers and others interested are anx-
ious to have one and plan to take the
matter up with the Duluth weather
bureau and secure an equipment Of
instruments. Farmers are particular
ly interested in the weather reports
as forecasts of frost and sudden
changes of temperature mean con-
siderable to them. Observer Richard
son at Duluth furnishes the local
weather for this section at present.
The government furnishes the neces-
sary instruments to local observers,
but readings are required twice a day
and the instruments must be so placed
that they will be in a position to ac-
curately record temperatures, wind ve-
locity, etc.
