Sec-snw Exhibition. The unbiased observer would characterize yesterday's game with as much truth as brevity by calling it "loose." Loose it was from start to finish with the principal and most costly sag in the Freeport sail. All told," the Pretzel mishaps in judgment and handling the ball came unpleasantly near two figures, and each bungle was paid for in bases and runs. Although it was anybody's game up to the tenth, when.the score had been tied for five innings, it was plainly to be seen that the Morey light guards were not feeling fit. The right garden was a repository for curious feats of fielding and Scotty's game in that locality was a prize exhibition of goose pasture work.

He let two pop-ups bound from his hands while La Crosse runners raced up the stretch that lies between third and home. The errors were inexcusable, and only his long assist to Sullivan in the seventh and his winged two-spot in the second can be held as redeeming features. Scotty was not alone. There were other members of the fizzle fraternity on hand also, and their work was about as costly as that of a grand opera star. Householder was there with two punk plays and Reed let a pitched ball and an assist go by- like a pay-car passes a hobo.

It took all the heart out of the box- man, and in the extra session there came a terrific slump in the pitching market. The Pitching Pedagogue. Cole's first appearance in the Freeport box for a full game was regarded as significant at first. But that, was. only at first.

He pitched a horse-shoe game early in the season and has comd back to "among-those- present" class again. His work yes- erday was ordinary enough and he roke even with Easton on eleven iit.s, four of those picked from the chool-master's delivery being deuces. As a slingist he still has room or a few medals on his chest. He et two walkers down and found the loles in only one timber. Tho Frccpoi't Tallies.

For a few reasons it is a very desirable place to live, but, nevertheless, there is one thing that exists at Polo that one doesn't obtain at. Forreston. Polo has been "dry" for nearly forty years, while license is still standing on both sides of the counter at Forreston. This is no discredit to the little German town in Ogle county, but it seems strange that the venders of "red eye" are few and far between clown at Polo. In fact, Polo is such a nice little town that a fellow could write poetry about the place.

It has the distinct appearance of a thriving old New England town where the classic shades of culture and civic pride abound in plenty. Indeed, it is an ideal little town in many respects. The people of Polo are law-abiding; I they are industrious and in many instances are very prosperous. I The "main drag," or to refer to it as the main street, is dotted here and there by modern buildings. The business glory in Illinois Central Operator Marries ular Wenona Girl.

A startling rumor gained currency this morning that a popular operator employed In the dispatchers' office of the Illinois Central railroad had gone to Wenona fo be married there afc high noon today to a 'Very prominent young lady or that place. The young man left Freeporfc on the early morning train and did not divulge his secret to even his most intimate friends. At any rate it has leaked out that he is now a benedict and has been keeping his matrimonial intentions "under his hat" for a long time. It is well-known that the young man has been making frequent trip to Wenona and that the young lad; has visited with relatives in this city from time to time during the past year. She came' here last year to attend the College of Commerce and is a very handsome young lady.

The groom is well-known in Freeport, having lived here for the past four years. At one time he was a dispatcher but resigned his position to accept other employment. The young people will arrive this evening and the young man will resume his position in Chief Mc- Caffreys office just the same as usual.

Townsville, North Queensland: An opportunity offers to send a letter by the "Moana," she calls at Brisbane on her way to Vancouver, so I am writing an extra epistle, though my last was dispatched only a few days ago. Our voyage hither from Cairns was one of the pleasantest we have yet had. The Cintra had been delayed by bad weather on her way up the coast, so she arrived at Cairns late on Saturday night, and was not ready to sai.l until seven on Sunday morning. This delay WHS fortunate for us, as it enabled us to avoid a night on board, and gave us a most delightful day on the water, which showed, all the beautiful islands to the best advantage. We reached here at ten on Sunday night, and and were housed at Great Northern hotel, at the foot of an imposing crag called Castle Hill, upon which our windows look.

It is 980 feet high, and naturally We climbed it on our first walk in the neighborhood. It is decidedly steepi but the view from the summit over the town and the ocean and the surrounding country is very fine, and more than repaid us for, the trouble. We like Townsville well, for we are comfortably situated here. The surroundings are pretty, the members are pleasant, and the attendances at the lectures have been good.

He purchased the the property at public auction last Monday at Hodgensville, for $3,600. "I have not as yet decided," said Mr. Collier yesterday, "what will be done'with property. It consists of 110 acres of farming land, and on it is the house practically as it was when Lincoln was born. "My attention was called to the matter nearly a year ago.

There is a fine spring on the farm, audit was the purpose of a company to bottle the water and send it over the country with a picture of Lincoln on the label. The house is at present occupied by a farmer tenant, and is in a good state of preservation. I am told that the expense of restoring it will be small. "What course will betaken with regard to the homestead I have not decided. It could be turned over to the national government and the farm could be maintained as a public park.

The surrounding country is beautiful, and the place is not far from a railroad. Perhaps one of the patriotic societies may be interested enough in the property to assume the care of it, in which case would make it over to such an organization. The yearly cost of maintaining the. place should not be large." Reunion at Ashton. "T.he twenty-first annual reunion of Soldiers and Sailors of Northern Illinois will be held in Ashton, Wednesday and Thursday, September (5th and 7th.

Every time that Justice Metz dispenses justice, "the village cut-tips" turn out in dress parade and 'decorate the roofs and all the dry boxes in the neighborhood.

Justice Metz announces his decision in a very calm and deliberate manner; and as soon as the case is settled the crowd disperses. It is said that they once rang the town bell every' time Justice Metz had a case, 'but they have long since ispensed with this method of pro- edure and everyone who is not up snuff will either have to miss the rial or be fined for contempt of ourt for not being present when the oil was cajled. Up in Main street almost the first ign that meets the public eye is Polo Pants." This is rather a tartling admission from a "dry" own that has been one of the faith- ul for the past forty years, but when ne draws nearer, the word can be seen way down at the lottbm of the architecture. It is alluring sign and many an un- ophisticated traveling man has umped up against this proposition it for a "thirst retreat," ut Mr. Traveling Man has had so nany bumps that he can stand a one like this and pass on without feeling any bad effects in being leceived by the ingenuity of the 'Polo Pants company." That's right, Polo; let the good vork go on.

CENTRAL WILL GIVE PASSES. Employes Who Have Served Ten Years to Be Rewarded. Directors of another big railroad lystem are considering the advisability of recognizing longandfaith- ful service the substantial way of issuing itliege men innual passes. Recently the Southern Pacific road announced that it would issue annuals to any employe who had been in the service of the sompany for ten years. For those employed ten years and fewer tthan fifteen years will he given annual passes good over the division on which ho is employed; for those who iiave served fifteen years and fewer than twenty years with the road an annual division pass for himself and wife, and for those who have been connected with the road for twenty years or more, annual passes for tho employe, his wife and all dependent members of the family good over the entire system will be issued.

Tho management of the Illinois Central will probably follow the line of the Southern Pacific, though the divisional annuals will be given to employes who have served something fewer than ten years. Tho 'Frisco system has also announced the adoption of the annual pass distribution. Meetings of Great Spiritual Powers Held at Riverside. Riverside Park, Aug. sunshiny days, good attendance, splendid spiritual meetings, earnest preaching, hearty spirited singing were amongjthe attractive features of yesterday at the camp.

All the cottages are now occupied and all parts of the district are represented on the grounds. The ministerial force is large and will be augmented by several arrivals today. Kev. W. C.

Hallwachs, of Forreston, with his family are now occupying the Forreston cottage. The daily attendance on the part of non-residents is good. A large and appreciative audience was present last night to hear Kev. F. C.Neitz, of Salem church preach.

He spoke on "Loneliness of Christ." He graphically pictured the suffering of Christ for the redemption of the world and pointed to the fact that the soul must enter personally into conflict with sin, yet Christ goes with it and assures the victory. In the morning Rev. N. Wunderlich, of Oak Street church, preached an earnest and heart searching discourse in his theme, "I Will Make All Things New." Rev. J.

L. Holtx- man, of Sterling, preached in the afternoon on "Following Christ." This morning Rev. G. J. Degenkolb preached in the German language.

In the afternoon Rev. E. E. Plapp preached, and this evening at 8 o'clock Rev. W.

Cottonwood Culvert Will Be Built By Freeport Conractor. W. H. Shons, of this city, was awarded the contract yesterday afternoon to build the culvert on Cottonwood street which will extend from Nursery street to West street, a distance of 1,047 feet. The members of the committee composed of Aldermen Steflen, McGovern and Lonergan, voiced the opinion that Mr.

Shons' original bid was too high and succeeded in obtaining a reduction of fifteen per cent from his former estimate. The construction of the culvert will begin at once. streets, arid just outside the limits there are droves of hundreds of them. They are half wild, and seem to belong to no one in particular; biit the poor catch them and milk them, and their little children are fed cipally on goat's milk. We amused to see a party of goats deliberately tearing down the advertisement bills from a board and eating them, presumably for the sake of the paste; but we felt that they ought to be encouraged in their efforts thus to improve the appearance of the town from the aesthetic point of view.

The town is situated at the mouth of a small river, in a wide bay', across the entrance of which lies a large isi- land which was called by Captain Cook "Magnetic Island" under some mistaken idea that it contained magnetic ore which affected his compasses. We went over to it one day in a benzine launch, and spent a jolly time there. There is a hotel there, and also a few cottages, all crowded in the 'summer months, but unoccupied now. There are possibly ten or twelve persons living on the island all the year round, and, as it is roughjy an equilateral triangle, each of its sides being about twenty-one miles long, they have plenty of room and live a delightfully free and undisturbed existence. One of them is, oddly enough, the editor of a daily paper in Townsville, which place, however, he visits only about twice a year, though he writes his leading articles daily, and sends them over by his launch.

He is a graduate of Dublin university, a fine-looking man, cultured and well-informed, though he dresses like a fisherman. He took us out in a punt to look at the coral reef, (of which, however, we could see but little, as the tide was not low enough) and told ''us much that was interesting about the animals, the fishes and the vegetation. He hoped to end his days there in contact with Nature, and said that he would prefer never to see a town again, which in that wild, but lovely and peaceful place, seemed readily comprehensible. One of our members has 100 acres over there, and goes over in the summer and camps, living an entirely open-air life. He calls his place Alma Bay, imd has planted many cocoaniif trees and made a garden of beautiful flowers Which seem to grow luxuriantly without any attention.

We scrambled about the rocks and found old disused native tracks leading from one bay to another through the jungle and generally enjoyed ourselves greatly. We shall leave on the tenth by the steamer "Aramac," for Brisbane, where we shoujd arrive on the thirteenth. FRITZ KUNZ. phrey; William Clingman, S. B.
