Worthington Team Victorious.
The High School ball team played
the Adrian team at that place last
Saturday afternoon, and won a fast
game by a score of 8 to 13. The
Adrian team made a good showing,
but the Worthington team was too
much for them. Our boys have
improved a good deal since their
game at Luverne, and with faithful
practice they will become the
strongest high school ball teams in
this section of the state.
High School Notes.
The Worthington High School
base ball team met the Adrian High
School team on the latter'a diamond
Saturday last and defeated them by
a soore cf 8 to 12. A return game
will be played soon. Who says the
Worthington boys can't play base
ball.
Our Seniors have' received their
graduating pins and they seem to
feel very proud of them, brit they
can't say much, for they were Fresh­
men once
Our High School chorus is receiv­
ing a great deal of drilling of late
in preparation of commencement ex­
ercises.
We notice of late that one of our
Sophomore boys is very fond of Hazel
eyes.
The German class has just finished
the German word "L'Arrabbiata."
This class seems to be doing very
good work and advancing very rapid­
ly as it is not necessary to take up
this work in the first year. Let the
good work go on.,

The reception, which the Seniors
and the Sophomores intended to give
to the Juniors and Freshmen last
Saturday evening, was postponed to
same future date, because of our base
ball team going to Adrian that day.

Property Destroyed By Earth­

John H. Scott of this city,
received a card from his sister Mrs.
Gertrude Bobbins, who resides at
Oakland, but whose husband con­
ducted a drug store in San Fran­
cisco California. The card bears
date of April 22nd, but was mailed
April 25th She says.
"I will send yon a oard so you
will know that we are safe and well.
Our home was not damaged any
but have little left in store. We lost
far more than anyone else in this
part of the town. The conditions
are beyond description. We still
have jars, but hope the shook will
not be repeated. I have often
wondered what it would be like in
an earthquake now I know all I
want to, I don't want to be in
another. The house, rocked at an
angle of about four feet, but was
side ways, so did not, even break a
window. The shaking moved the
furniture but upset only lamps and
wash pitchers and did qot break
them".

-LECTURE
Worthington next winter was
qtiite thoroughly canvassed the first
qf the week by the Rev. Edwin W.
nbam, and a meeting was held on
aesday evening at the Worthing
hotel, when a Lyceum Associa­
te^ was formed. Rev. Lanhain was
elated president, Clinton Mann, sec­
retary, and Ned Jones, treasurer. The
tcutive

Five-numbers of the best talent
ifriprolled by the Columbian bureau.
Ifhe committee acted on the theory
that the beat assurance of the success
of the course depended on securing
the best of taleat and to this end no
ta^ease was spared. By contracting
this early it was possible to seeu re at
a reasonable figure talent unavailable
in the season.
at some of our grocery stores, and
also at dwelling houses, by agents
who are trying to sell, alum baking
powders, what the exhibitors call a
baking powder test. They pretend
to show by some boiling test that
pure cream of tarter baking powders
contain something which every
woman of intelligeaqe knows they
do not.'
It does not need a chemist to
expose this trick. Cream of tarter,
which *1s the chief constituent of
the best and most wholesome bak­
ing powder, is originally a clear,
white orystal. This is ground into
a fine, creamy flour, in which form,
mixed with taking soda, it is
present in the bftkteg powder.
Cream 6f tarter, when mfxdd Fith
water and boiled, simply returns to
its crystalline form, and that is all
there is to the so called test.
The matter of special interest to
the public is to know what these
people offer in place of cream of
tarter powders of well-known purity
and established reputation against
which these slanders are directed.
They are offering a baking powder
which official analysis have re­
peatedly shown is made from alum,
a drug so well recognized by
physicians and scientists as in­
jurious to health that in many
countries its use in bread is entirely
prohibited! So cheap and inferior
are the ingredients of this powder
that it costs to make less than three
cents a pound. No prudent house­
wife will knowingly put such stuff
as thiB into her food.
Fine Pasture Near Town.
In wood Stock Farm will take
healthy cattle at the rate for calves
yearlings $2.00. Other cattle
$2.50 for the season. Cattle will
be cared for with the thorough bred
herd. Pasture 2% miles from town,
well shaded and watered by a
spring.
