The champion Watertowns were given
an awful blow in the race for the City
league pennant when the Kosciuskos
fairly slaughtered them on their home
grounds, the final count being 15 to 2.
George Richards, who was so effective
against the Sytkowski-Fons machine in
their last game, only lasted until the
fourth, the Poleapiling up 7 runs in this
session. Able then took up the job, but
as lie had nothing that fooled the league
leaders, ho also came in for his share of
bombardment.
Ernie Groth. former association twirl
er, who was in the box for the Koscins
kos, had things pretty much his own
way, and the champs were unable to find
him when hits meant runs. Although lie
was found for nine hits, the; were all
scattered.
Barutha, Jordan, Brush and Kopling,
for the Kos iuskos, and Ab-e and Billy
Richards for Watertown, were the lead
lug hitters. Hank Goede added another
home run to his cndit.
The Bittners are making arrange

A good time is assured all who attend.
Attacks School Principal.
A severe attack on school principal,
Chas. B. Allen, of Sylvania, oa., is thus
told by him. "For more than three
years,” he writes, “I suffered indescri
bable torture from rheumatism, liver
and stomach trouble and diseased kid
neys. All remedies failed till I used
Electric Bitters, but four bottles of this
wonderful remedy cured me complete
ly.” Such results are common. Thous
ands bless them for curing stomach
trouble, female complaints, kidney dis
orders, biliousness, and for new health
and vigor. Try them. Only 5! cat the

Thieves Very Active.
Last Saturday night thieves broke into
a freight car on the Milwaukee road
near the frieght house and stole several
pairs of shoes and Sunday night broke
into a freight car on the Northwestern
road and stole several articles of mer
chandise, Thieves also entered the hen
coop of J. tV. Burns Sunday night and
took several of his chickens. The depre
dations were, no doubt, committed by
parties who came here during the fair
last week and their apprehension is very
doubtful.

We are Mighty Sorry.
The Methodist church conference
which was held at Antigo and terminat
ed Tuesday, treated this city in a man
ner to arouse our righteous indignation.
Hie bishop, in making the assignment
of ministers to the various charges in
the state, assigned Rev. M. L. Eversz
who had been with us for several years,
to the church at Amigo, which accord
ing to a rule which is recognized in the
conference gives the church in which
the conference is held, the privilege of
naming the minister they want—and
the church chose Rev. Eversz—and. of
course, we cannot blame them, fr the
members undoubtedly appreciate a good
man when they see him.
W hen Rev. Eversz came here, the
membership of the Mt thodist church was
small and they worshipped in a small
wooden church edifice, which under the
activity of Rev. Eversz, was removed to
make room for the new church, which is
a credit to the city and society. The
membership and congregation has in
creased, and the church become active
in every good word and work, exerting
a benificent influence in the city.
Rev. Eversz is a Christian in the
broadest and best sense of the word, ac
tive in every department of spiritual
endeavor, while tenacious for the ad
vance of his church, kindly disposed
toward all ether co workers in Christian
labor regardless of denominational lines
regarding every follower of the cross as
a brother and sister in the great army
serving the master.
Rev. C. J. Mathews was assigned to the
Watertown church and comes highly
recommended as a minister and no
doubt will receive a cordial welcome.
October Wealhe r Prediction
Reactionary storm period central on
3rd and 4th may be expected to bring
storm conditions, with autumnal rrftn,
wind and possibly light snow, north
ward.
Regular storm period is central on ihe
Tth. This is one of the most decided
storm periods of the month. Violent
distill bailees should be watched against
both in the Lake and (Jnlf regions. From
4th to 11th, central on the Tth, consti
tutes a grave seismic, period.
Reactionary storm period extends
from 13th to 15th and most sections will
be visited by fierce autumnal thunder
storms, snow squalls and colder weather.
A regular storm period extends from
17th to 22nd, the crisis falling on the
20th, 2lst and 27th. Fierce storms, light
ning and thunder attended by dangerous
gales, snow and sleet which will endan
ger wires and interfere with agricultur
al interests. Another very decided scis>-
mic period reaches from 18th to 24th,
central on the 21st.
Reactionary storm period will bring
in storm changes—low barometer, cloudi
ness and rain and wind, on the 24th to
26th. Cloudiness, tendency to drizzle,
sleet and snow and cold weather will
cover the dates mentioned and all are
forewarned to have all outdoor work
performed.
A regular storm period is central on
the 30th and extends from October 28th
to November 3rd. Rains turning to snow
in western extremes will be in sight to
“official observers” and to those on the
spot as we enter November. —Words and

Shoe Store Burglarized,
Friday morning, Loo Ruesch, the west
side shoe merchant, was astonished upon
entering his store to discover that dur
ing the night a burglar had entered by
smashing a window in the rear of the
store and departing with ten pairs of
men’s shoes and a few pennies left in
the cash register which was opened. A
noise was heard by those living in the
vicinity of the store about 2 a. m., but
no attention was paid to it, because of
the excitement in the city occasioned by
the fair.
