High School Athletics.
The Board of Control of the South
western Minnesoia League of High
Schools arranged a schedule of
ball games and about half of these
games haive now been played.
Worthington, Luvere and Jackson
have each lost Tut dfcegame.
Worthington plays at Jackson, next
Saturday and this game is likely to
.settle the case with chances of our
winning championship, this season.
All express the greatest satisfaction
with the league and think it one of
the best moves made in the
schools in this part of the
years. The success of the league
this year will cause more schools to
enter next year and the prospect is
good for a successful and harmo
tnious year to come. A Field-Meet
will be held at Worthington Friday
,afternoon, May 25th. It is expected
that about eight schools will, be
represented. This is the most de­
sirable contest which forms a part
of school athletics and our people
should encourage the boys to make
this a success. Worthington ought
to give the visitors arousing recep­
tion note only at the contest in the
^afternoon but in the evening. We
ehall have quite a number of young
'people from the neighboring towns
.and.we want to send them home
with a good impression of our city.
Let everyone who is interested in
.the school and who takes a just pride
in Worthington help to make this
_Meet a success.
Plant Sale.
Don't forget the sale of plants
IMay 23d in the vacant building
^next to the store of H. B. Lewis.
The collection includes Verbenas,
Geranium, Heliotrope, Carnations,

The fire department was called
jiout at noon yesterday on account
ilof afire at The Western Hotel, but
the blaze was put out just as the
liire
men arrived. The fire started
in the wall from a defective
^chimney flue. It was fortunate
-that the fire was put out before it
Igained much headway as a high
wind prevailed at the time and the
^firemen would have had a'hard time
£with it. As it was the hotel had a

Glib Tongued Peddler Catches

age of Cloth*
The foot that a suoker is born
every minute is every day being
demonstrated in some part of the
country. Many Nobles county
formers have furnished evidence of
this during the past few weeks.
The' Adrian Democrat recently,
exposed the operation of a set of
swindlers who had been operating
in that section. The plan was to go
to a form house and expose a lot of
piece goods, which were sold ft $65.
The foot- that there were some
goods in the paokage that the
average family could not use up in
50 years did not occur to the former.
Neither did he realize that the same
goods could have been bought from
local dealers as he needed them for
less money. A few days after the
peddlar got in his graft the capper
came along. He pretended to be a
tailor and offered to make up the
goods at a ridioulous figure. He
took the measure -and the goods,
and that is the last the farmers saw
of their dearly bought goods. That
the same fakirs have been operating
around Worthington developed last
Saturday, when four different young
formers called on Wm. Jones, the
tailor, to see about making up their
goods, and when they found where
they were at they admitted they
had been beat. Don't'worry boys,
the capper will be along in a few
days and take the goods off your
hands.
Yes a sucker is born every minute,
and itx seem that most of them are
twins.
Welcome

The Ep worth Leaguers and many
friends of Peter G. Johnson are
heartily glad to welcome him Some
from California, where he had been
sojourning for three years past in
the hope of benefiting- his health.
His splendid Christian influenoe and
cheerful disposition has been greatly
missed during the. time of his
absence. His niany friends hope
that his home-coming and seeing
the familiar faces will give him
new courage and strength to regain
his health.
The San Dimas, Cal., Eagle had
the following to say regarding his
recent departure from that place:
A large company of friends
gathered at the Sante Fe station
Saturday evening to bid Peter G.
Johnson God speed on his journey
to the home of his foster parents in
Worthington, Minn. Mr. Johnson
has won

himself by his beautiful
Christian character and manliness a
very warm place in the hearts of
our people^ ana .it was with regret
they learned that his father, Mr,
John Hansberger, had come to take
him back East in the hope that
familiar faces and scenes would
encourage him to make renewed
efforts to regain his broken health
Not a"" few tears were shed and
many whispered prayers Went up
as the long over land train pulled
out into the darkness S&turday
evening. Several cards sent by Mr.
Johnson enroute say that he was
standing the journey very well and
some of the distressing symptoms
of his disease were greatly relieved.
We hope to hear even more favor­
able news within the next few days.

WORTHINGTON, WINN.
BIG CELEBRATION
Promised the People of Nobles
County on Independence
Day.
Eclipse All
of this
The oommittee having in oharge
the work of raising funds for the
celebration on July 4th has met
with most gratifying success and
the work has progressed so for
that it is Safe to predict that about
$800 wili be raised. This is a sum
sufficient to provide a hummer of a
celebration for a town the size of
Worthington, and that the money
will be well and carefully spent goes
without saying.
The committees having in charge
the different matters pertaining to
celebration are working hard to se
cure good attractions and sports.
The committee on fnusic has en­
gaged the Cedar Rapids brass band.
One or more other bands may be
secured. A good ball game between
the two best teams available will
be one of the best attractions.
There will be only one Fourth of
July celebration in Nobles county
this
year
worthy the name, and that
will be at Worthington. The
farmers should plan to come and
share in the good time.

Uncle Tom's Cabin.
Terry's big tentv exhibition 0
Uncle Tom's Cabin was with us
Monday night and drew an im­
mense crowd. Their ..^parade in
the afternoon was spectacular and
pleasing and the band concert in the
evening?" was very entertaining.
Terry oarries a big company, they
gave a very creditable performance
and the people were'well satisfied
with their entertainment. They
had a splendid orchestra and^a good
band. Each actor played his part
well and the usual touching scenes
brought tears to many eyee.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is similiar to a
love story in that it is
uold
.. $r
Rai
but
ever new" and the play attracts
good orowds wherever it goes. A
very good concert was given after
the regular show and this too was
well patronized.
The people with^his company are
all ladies and gentlemen and Logan
would no doubt give them as warm
a welcome, should they return
again within a year or
two.—Logan

In Memoriam.
Lines written in memory of Mrs.
J. J. Kendlen who died April
24,
age 54.
I have met those dear ones
Whom on earth I loved so well.
I am happy beyond the portal
Where I ever more shall dwell
While you were left to mourn
O'er my body 6f cold clay.
Bright angels bore my weary,
spirit
To a,.clime so far away.
I am happy in my new home
Far above the skies
And God has wiped away
All tears from my eyes.
Could you the curtain draw aside
And see me in this bright,
bright land
And see my crown of diamonds
And the harp I carry in my hand
I think you'd
1
want to be among
tha white robed
You'd want to be among the
blest
Where the wicked cease from
troubling
And the weary are*t rest.
My loved ones met me at the gate
With angels bright and.fair,
*-A orown was placed upon my
a
The victor's palm I bear
I see my Savior face to face,
I Aear the, angels sing
All glory to the Bleeding Lamb,
AlLglory to the King.
Farewell a little while, no not,
farewell,
Where I have gone you too can
dwell
A little while, a few short years
of pain,
And one by one you'll come to
me again.
God grant that I may lend you

A son of Chris Haibak, while
driving home, noticed that one of
the tugs had become unhitched and
stopping the team he proceeded to
hook up the tug, while he was
fastening it one of the horses kicked
at him hitting him abeve the right
eye, leaving him senseless for some
time.
Mr. Ramage and help of Worth­
ington, arrived here Monday after­
noon and immediately left for the
former's farm, northwest of town,
where they will move a fenoe that
is in the way of the breaking gang.
It is with pleasure that we note
the interest the formers of this
vicinity, and the residents of this
village, take in tree culture. Since
our- arrival here there has hardly
a day passed by that we have not
seen some trees being taken from
the depot or from delivery wagons
of nearby ouraeries. A few more
trees and a little more time put in
in making a lawn and in beautify­
ing those already started, will im­
prove the appearance of this town
a great deal. Do not wait until
your neighbor begins on his, bat
begin on yours immediately. Now
is the time.

BAKING POWDER AGAIN.
Alum Goods That Masquerade
as "High-Class" Powders.
In previous analyses we have
shown thatjthe 25 cent alum baking
powders are an imposition, both on
the consumer and the retailer, as
the difference in cost of manufoc
ture of a 10 cent alum bakings
powder and a 25 cent one is no
more thau one cent a pound.
There is the Columit baking
powder, an alum powder with
about one cent's worth of phosphate
added to it, and which retails for 25
cents. It is not worth more than
10 or 11 cents, whioh we showed by
analysis. In order to sell this
powder at all, they are now prepar­
ing a premium scheme and are go­
ing 4o give away hairpins and other
cheap trash that may be "attractive
to the eye and cover up their-trans­
actions. They can well afford to
give 15 cents' worth of goods with
every pound of baking powder they
sell.
If alum baking power is used at
all, 10 cents is a reasonable price, as
alum costs only two cents a pound,
whioh leaves the manufacturer a
fair'profit. While we know that
cream of tartar baking powders, are
sold at higher prices than others,
we also know that ohemically pure
oream of tartar used in the highest
grade powder costs at least twelve'
I times more than alum.
