The future of. the national game in St. Paul seems very flattering, dndeed. A beautiful ground has been secured at the north end of Third street, in the Morgan pasture, where a diamond has been made, and a large umpitheatre. capable of comfortably seating 300 persons, -is belwg builtv The grounds are surrounded on three sides by large hedge fences, and the grass andsod have been removed from th6 diamond.

clnb, and also the prime factor of base ball here, is the architect and superintendent of construction, and to him is especially due the credit of reviving the game in St. Paul. The initiatory or the first practice game was played, between the Gales-burg and St. Paul teams Monday afternoon, and resulted in a. victoryfor the home club by one run.

Score 35 to 34. The attendance was fair, many ladies being present to witness the game. Uy the way, what shall we name this base ball park? The Independent suggests Thorndale, Trilby, Tenrec, Tuxedo, Acme, Excelsior, Zigzag, Hi-ball and Sunflower as good names, but thinks Thorndale or TriJby the most appropriate. Which shall it be? Adam Shaefer, the cigar manufacturer, is reported quite sick. Henry Ashford has been given the foremanship of the Journal ofSce.

The Erie fair to be held September 3, 4, 5 and 6, promises to be one of more interest than of past years.

The Independent "ready print" went astray week before last, causing us a short delay and a little inconveni ence, but we were equal to the occasion and issued the paper just the same. We are not so foolish as to think that a country printing office can be run without such occurrences happening but Bro. Park takes advantage of the situation to give us a rap. The-name of the town is changed, and all things connected with it, even the Osage Mission Journal, and most all are willirg to put up with the inconveniences which are naturally expected to occur. a snort time since tne cow was sad; she scarce could raise her "head, be gad.

Her hoofs were sore, her tail was limp, her mane and bangs had lost their crimp, and miles she trudged from grass to drink with scarcely strength enough to wink. The owner, too, look ed blue and glum, and cursed the cattle business some, but since the rain the grass is tall, the cow can raise her head and bawl, her hide is slick, no bones protrude, she prances like a Bismarck dude.

Stockton Record. threshing west of town for the past week, and Thursday set the machine at the farm of Patrick Keating, ready to begin work.

It seems to be the duty of the farmer to have help ready, but as the machine came one day sooner than expected, the "hands" Mr. Keat- ng had engaged were not on the ground. Negotiations were then begun with the men who had been accompanying tho machine, but they would not accept the wages lor which the absent help had agreed to work. This was 10 o'clock in the forenoon. The boys were ready to begin work, but were obdurate or the higher wages, and Mr.

Keating would not submit until they had left, and then he called them back, promis- ug the in their price. It was 3 o'clock p. m. when they nnauy got xo woric. There were many amusing incidents connected with the strike, especially the speeches made by some of the strikes, which all terminated good- naturedly when the machine began to run.

Mr. Koating4s wheat is extra good quality, and will average about forty bushels to the acre. The total yield will bo abut 1C00 bushels. Besides this he has a large crop of corn which will average with the best in Neosho county. Mr.

and Mrs. Keating are among the best and most prosperous armors in Kansas. Hobbed. Of a nice head of hair iust through neg ligence.

Our vocabulary of ad jectives, verbs and adverbs is not suffi e'eut to express the kind of noise they made; but each one seemed to have a different idea of music. Ono thought he could sing basso prOfundo, another soprano, anotoer alto, ana so on, but they fully developed their ability to hollo'. The discoid was greater than that existing between Bro. Park and the county commissioners over the county printing. Boys, go to the woods and learn to sing before appearing in public again.

Dora Herod is now up at the peni tenliary, and he is actually inside, not as a prisoner, but as a guard. This po tition was given to mm for eminent services rendered to the O. P. last fall. Well, Dora is a stunner especial ly when he gets that uniform and leg-gins on; and j'et there is something about Dora Herod that we admire, and that is he is proud to put his best font forwaid.

All right, Dora, stand up for Kansas. Chanute Blade. While threshing at the farm ot John Schumisch. last week, his team took fright at the engine and ran away with the five-year-old son of Geo. Car penter in the wagon.

The team ran all over the farmfc jumping two wire fences, and was stopped at the house. The little fellow stuck to the wagon and it is a miracle thac he escaped uninjured. The horses were very badly cut up and injured. The continued case of Bickle (colored) vs. Shaffer was before Justice Leak Saturday.

The trouble was on account of "equal rights" that is Shaffer's refusal to eat at the same table with Bickle. Shaffer acted as his own lawyer, but the evidence was such that the justice fined him $1 and cost, amounting to $15.50. Attorney C. S. Nation appeared for the prosecution.
