Now is the Tine TO Boost

The Cairo baseball team has just
lost its fourth successive game on
the road Now is the time to boost
for the team.
1t is easy to root when ball
club is winning, but the fan who
roots when il strikes a snag is the
one whose loyalty is worth having,
for that is the time that roofing is
needed.
OF course, four straight games on
the wrong side OF the column are
not enough to cause any one 10
knock the team, especially just after
its wonderful record of victories.
but the fans should continue TO
cheer their favories onward. If any
thing. more vociferously after a de-
feat than after victory. 1t needs
little cheering when it wins. but II
needs considerable when ii loses.
There is no reason to think thai
Cairo has begun to slip--that she
has started a toboggan slide. The
boys have been going al fast pace
the fastest, fiercest pace set so far
this season by any club in the
league-and when they reach the
inevitable slowing up point it nat
urally looks worse than it is. There
is a eood deal of comfort in the fact
that the games have not. with the
exception of yesterdays. been at all
one-sided. Cairo has been losing
the games she has lost by close
scores. Yesterdays game was Hop
kinpilles chiefly because French
wasn't right, Tor when Win Is
himself they don't hit him that way
Cairo plays another game at Hop
kinsyille and then goes to paducah
She should win today and will L
something unusual does not taxi

One fine thing about it all is tina

brilliant unhill fight she gained tn
lead. Four games have put hr

Unknown Man Found Dead Along the
Railroad Tracks

The train men of the way freight
that arrived here Wednesday morning,
reported that the body of man was
seen along the track near the Collins
crossing, three miles west of this city.
Undertaken Tellefson and Marshal
Springer drove out to the scene where
they found the dead body Of young
man lying close to the rails. The
clothing had been entirely stripped off
to the waist line, his face somewhat
bruised and covered with blood though
no bones appear to be broken or other
injuries on the body save cut upon
the temple. A half a mile east of
where the body lay his vest and over
alls were found beside the rails. AS
the accident occurred in Dane county
the remains Wers taken to StOughton
and turned over to the authorities
Who the dead stranger is or in what
manner he came to his death, may
never be known as nothing found about
his clothing gives the slightest clue to
his identity. If he had fallen from
moving train and clothing stripped in
the manner found, the chances are
that the body would have been cut and
mangled. If he had been done to
death by companions on the train and
the body thrown out there still ought
to be marks on it showing struggle.
The body is that of rather small
man of five feet, three or four inches,
with rather large head, the face be-
ing somewhat feshy. The eyes are
brown and the hair scant and sandy in
color. He is probably in the neighbor-
hood of 80 years of age, and was evil

were calloused and he was roughly

Continued From Page T..

ally is reflected on the leaf dealers, who
have not found the ready sale of goods
they had so long looked forward to.
Recently not single large transaction
in old goods has been reported, doubt
less because there was none. With
their 1913 packing ready for buyers, it
is discouraging, to say the least, to
have their anticipations frustrated. A
small jobbing trade in place of brisk
transactions of some moment is not
calculated to breed feeling of cheer
fulness. While the local dealers have
been riding the county inspecting crops,
very few dealers from outside the
county have been here, and nobody ap-
pears to know what they think of the
new crop.
Very little stripping has been done,
because very little of the new crop has
been curing, and even if it was cured
it is too dry now to strip. Such wealth
er as we have had this fall has not pre-
vailed for years, and it has not been of
a kind at all favorable to tobacco in
the shed. The growers at all the farm
ers' meetings insist that the tobacco is
curing all right, but the dealers are
less Sangulne.
