erville, Mimi, with it's Pastor, ]. S.
Guzdek, will celebrate Sunday,
Sept. A the fiftieth anniversary of

eled by Joseph Kisielewski, sculp-
tor of national fame today, who as
a parish boy wished to present to
his home church such a, beautiful
souvenir of his talent. In accom-
plishing this great artistic work he
was supported financially by Mrs.
JOS. John, ST., and other parties of
fering smaller donations.
The ceremonies of the Jubilee
will begin in the morning with
Solemn Mass in presence of His
Excellency Rt. Rev. JOS. F. Busch,

Junior Chamber
Flower Show Sat.
Display Will Be Made at Ungel
Furniture Scientifically
Competition

One of the active projects
of the year for the Junior
Chamber of Commerce was the
staging of a flower show in the
fall.
Because of conditions it was
thought best to postpone the
show for another year.
In view of the splendid sue
cess made by the Better Homes
and Garden Contest, the Jun
iors have decided to stage the
initial show of what they ex-
pect to make an annual event,
this year.
The show will be held at I'm
gers Furniture Store on Third
Street Saturday, Sept. 8, all
day. The fine windows and
show rooms of the Unger store
make this an ideal place for
the show.
The officers of the club will
appreciate a liberal exhibit of
flowers and potted plants. They
will be judged carefully and
winners named. There will not
be any prizes.
Exhibits can be put in place
Friday evening but they should
all be on display not later than
1000 o'clock Saturday. They
can be removed at 900 o'clock
Saturday evening.
The Junior Chamber asks for
the whole hearted support of
the community in this friendly
competition.

Power Wire

Little Falls, Aug. 30-A severe
wind storm caused by Mondays in
tense heat, struck Little Falls,
causing some damage and leading
indirectly to the injury of a small
boy.
The lad was James Bettenburg,

One Stinss By Hornets
Ward Springs Children Have
Thrilling Experience While
Hunting Wild Grapes

Ward Springs Correspondence
Saturday Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Brakes children, Ber-
nard, Marie, Helen and Irene,
took a notion to pick wild
grapes in the woods on their
farm. After going about the
woods one of the youngsters
happened to stumble on a
stick which was resting on a
tree. AS soon as the stick fell
it tore open large hornets
nest. The children all started
running but the honets follow
. ed them, and continued sting
ing them. Irene, being the
youngest of the four, couldn't
run as fast as the others and
therefore got stung that much
more. Their mother assisted
them as soon as they reached
the house and found that little
Irene had been stung q times
in all. She is recovering nicely.

Local Lady Gets
Worthy Praise
Miss Florence Parkinson Does
Outstanding Work in New Mex
icO's Girls Welfare Dept.

The following clipping FROM TIT
Albuquerque Times refers to Mis-
Florence Parkinson, formerly o
this city, and daughter of Mr.. ant
Mrs. C.. e. Parkinson.
High praise for ]. r. Galusha,
federal probation officers here,
and Miss Florence Parkinson,
superintendent of the Girls
Welfare home, was bestowed
Wednesday by Col. Joel r.
Moore, supervisor of probation
for the federal bureau of pris-
ons.
Moore is in Albuquerque on
one of his annual inspection
trips, which will carry him to
the west coast.
The probation system is
working well in New Mexico
federal court, said Moore. This
is due to Judge Colin Nebett's
care in picking prisoners to be
allowed probation and Galu-
sha's with those paroled, said
the federal oH1c1al.
At the present time, Moore
said, the department of justice
is trying to get greater cooper
alton from the states in hand
ling juvenile cases. There are
between four and five thousand
of such cases in federal court
every year, the supervisor es-
Inmates, but Of these many can
be handled by states, If they
will.
"Of course there are some of
these cases which must be
tried in federal court" Moore
pointed out, "but great many
can be handled in state courts
with better results.
There are some states, of
course, which are backward in
this respect in that they do
not have proper facilities for
taking care of such cases.
"New Mexico, however, does
not fall in this classification"
Speaking of the state Girls
Welfare home here Moore said
Miss Parkinson is doing zone
of the most outstanding pieces
of work for girls in the whole
United States"

FINAL SCORE II TO 7
Wayne Dahlem Gamers Three
Doubles and Single Out Of
Five Trips to Plate

The Grey Eagle baseball team
will journey to Regal this Thurs
day evening to play a rain out
game so that the seasons play may
be completed. If Grey Eagle de-
feats Regal, these two teams and
Qauk Centre will be in three way
tie for third place and then other
play offs will be necessary to de-
eide third and fourth place teams.
If however, Regal defeats Grey
Eagle, Regal will be in third place
and Sank Centre will go into the
finals in fourth place. The finals
will start next Sunday and will
probably be Melrose VS.. Sank Gen.
ire and Brooten VS.. Regal.
In the first night game ever to
be staged in Sank Centre the
Whaling Night Hawks, of Detroit,
gave the local team IA to 7
trouncing. Despite the one-sided
score the game was interesting.
The locals used a trio of pitchers
in an attempt to halt the smuggling
Nigh Hawks. Lewis started the
game for Sank Centre and while
he granted only two hits in the
three first innings, three bases on
balls and one hit batter proved ex-
tremely costly, as all of them re-
suited in tallies.
Lewis had considerable hop to
his low, fast ball, but his control
was lacking. Judkins went in in
the fourth and he was the least eff
fective of the triumvirate of local
hurlers. He worked for three in
nings and the Hawks garnered 8
hits and 6 runs. Soltau held the
visitors scoreless in the seventh
and eighth and only allowed four
hits in the three last stanzas.
Soltau retired the first six batters
in order, but he ran into a snag
in the ninth and before the side
could be retired, four talIies had
crossed the plate. The three local
pitchers divided II strikeouts be-
tween them, of which Lewis got 8;
Judkins 6 and Soltau 3.
The visitors, produced four earn
ed runs, while the locals got but
two. The local outfielders were
unable to adjus themselves to night
baseball and as a result several
high flies, which would have been
easy outs for them in the day time,
dropped for safe base hits. How
ever, the locals lost the game IN
the infield which gave the hurlers
ragged support. Most of the six
misplays came at crucial times and
were costly.
Sundberg started on the mound
for the invaders, but his work prov
ed a trifle too weak. In the fifth
he was relieved by Mcneil, south
paw, who saved the game, for in
that stanZa the locals might have
taken the lead from the Michigand-
ers.
One man was out and the bases
were loaded when Sundberg was
sent to right field. Three runs had
crossed the plate and the score was
6 to 4, when Mcneil went in &c
strike out Benson and klar popped
to short-stop. From then on the
locals were unable to do much
damage to the offerings from the
portsiders arm. Dahlem's hit and
an error coined a run in the 7th
while Dahlem's double, a walk to
Mayors and errors by Mcneil and
Sundberg gave a brace of counters
in the last inning.
Mills r,o1lya1 in, tho frcf
took second on a wild pitch and
scored when Mayors let Kings roll

S3.212.601

Net decrease 9O,ZlZ,OU1
It is expected by the tax COM
mission that 1892 will make much
better showing for economy. The
state levy for 1881, which was 4.3
mills, is limited by the law for
1882 to 80 mills. So the state will
contribute to the saving for 1882,
and heavy further decreases have
been made in local levies.
Estimates only are possible fol-
1892. Data collected already, how
ever, show that county and town.
ship levies have been cut about
$4,000 below 1881.
The city of Minneapolis alone
will have about 100000 decrease
its levy, without cuts in the mill
age rate. That is due to decreased
valuations and delinquencies. In a
lesser degree, this decrease will be
registered in other cities. School
taxes, though heavily trimmed last
year, will be cut further in parts
of the state. The state levy for
1882 probably will be about $1,000
600 below the 1881 figure, by legal
limitation.
These reductions, it is estimated,
will bring the Minnesota property
levies down below $110,000,000 for
1882, payable next year. Compared
with 1880, the cut will be between
$12, 100000 and $15,000,000.

st. Paul, Aug. 30-Taxes levied on
real and personal property in Min
nesota for 1881, payable this year,
show a net decrease of $3,212, 601
compared with 1880. This is the
official figure from tabulations in
the office of the state tax commits
sion. The decrease was registered
in spite of nearly $4,000, 900 increase
in state taxes. The total for 1881
is $120, 382,972. -, -
The tax reduction movement
started last year, is going ahead
with drastic policies all over the
state, and predictions were made
today that 1882 levies will show
another drop Of $10,0OO,OO0.
Local decreases for 1881 totaled
more than $7,OO0,0OO, but were
more than half offset by the state
increase. The state levy for 1881
was 4.3 mills, but this years reve-
nue. fund levy is limited by law to
80 mills, so 1882 will show de-
creases both in state and local
levies.
