In the first two games the Grand Rapids players had it their way and found the ‘city of destiny” players easy money, but in the last of the series the Falls men got busy and strengthened up their team with a bunch of imported talent that gave them the big end of the score. Thursday’s game resulted in a score of 6 to 4 for Grand Rapids, ‘with Bonnewill and Erskime battery for the home players, and Zink and Hiller for International Falls. Fri- ‘day's game proved to be a swatfest for Grand Rapids, who won by 18 to 5. In Friday’s game the International bunch grabbed off six runs im the first inning, and repeated the per- formance in the second, winning by a score of 25 to 11, which made the tally sheet loom up like the returns from a country picnic. , Saturday’s tally stocd 10 to 2 in Bentz and Hicks being the battery for Sat- urday’s game for Grand Rapids, and Roy and Hiller for the Falls. The City team is playing a series | of three games at the firemen’ tour- mament at Coleraine this week, playing the first game there this afternoon. They will be back to- might for an evening game here at 8:30 with “The All Nations” team, fa traveling aggregation that is said to put up a pretty nifty exhibition of the national sport. GOOD NEWS SERVICE OF CONVENTION Mesaba Telephone Ces Kept Patrons Well Informed of Con- vention Procecdings. Through the courtesy of the Mes- aba Telephone company Grand Rap- ids people received the news of the national -Republican convention as the different events transpired. The bulletins came from the wires of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and -Manager Hemsworht supplemented the vice by giving ail the patrons wh called the latest developments by telephone. Public interest in the convention was indicated by the crowds who gathered at the telephone office and at the Pokegama hotel to read the bulletins of the. convention's pro- gress. : The telephone company is receiv- ing many compliments for the way in which the convention proceedings ser- | | Some Facts Concerning the Liberal Aid Granted By the State For This Purpose. Consolidation of schools is steadil gaining ground in Minnesota. The farmers are coming to realize that | the one-room country schoo] does 1 ; offer opportunities that are good | {enough for their boys and girls; an besides, the farmer is able to have, the best.of.everything.for himself and} family. The last legislature, by of- fering generous and substantial state aid to consolidated schools, has put new life into the movement; and in hundreds of homes and communities thoughtful consideration. Many misstatements are made and wrong impressions given, by both friends and foes of the movement, due in many cases to a lack of defi- nite knowledge of the law and its application. Perhaps a clear state- ment of facts will serve to clear up a@ number of disputed points. The law provides that, when two or more districts unite and form a district including at least twelve sections of land, and maintain a ; school of two departments, the dis- | trict shall receive special state aid to the amount of $750, for consolida- | tion, in addition to the regular aid of $300, as a semi-graded school; | making $1,050 in all for the support of such a school. With a district cf eighteen sections, and three depart- ments in the school, the aid for con- solidation becomes $1,000, in addi- ; tion to the regular aid of $300; and, with four departments in the school, ! the aid becomes $1,500 for consclida- tion and $600 as a state graded | school. In each case the state will give one-fourth the cot of the new building, not to exceed $1,500 to any one district. The proceedings in effecting con- solidation are as follows: 1. The County Superintendent shall cause to be made a plat of the new district, showing size, boun- daries, location. of schoolhouses, location of adjoining districts and schoolhouses, and submit the same to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for his ap- proval. 2. If the plat is approved, petitions signed and acknowledged by at least twenty-five per cent of the resident freeholders of each dis- trict shall be presented to the County Superintendent, asking tor the formation of such a dis- trict. 8. The County Superintendent shal within ten days, upon ten days’ posted notice, give notice of a special meeting to vote on. the question of consolidation, and fix time and place for Holding such meeting. 4. The meeting to vote is held, not Jess than twenty-five voters be- ing present, and a vote taken by the matier is being given careftl, pression is created that the $750 is 4 higher standard of agricultural effi- pipe-dream of the promcters of con-'ciency and the formation of neigh- solidation.

MEYER HAS TYPHOID FEVER Secretary of Navy II! at His Home in Massachusetts. Washington, June 23.—Secretary of the Navy Mever, who left Washington a week ago for his home at Hamilton, Mass., has developed typhoid fever. A message to that effect was received at the navy department. When the the state of New York, defeated the} secretary left it was said he was suf- fight of William J. Bryan against Al-! ton B. Parker for temporary chairman of the Democratic national committee. | Until a late hour Mr. Bryan had hoped that a part of the Clark strength) could be held in line for the progres- sive Democratic endeavor to land 2! Bryan candidate as temporary chair man. When, however, the Clark dele gates from Kentucky caucused and decided by a vote of 20 to 6 to support | Parker, although the leading Bryap candidate at that time was Senator BHlect Ollie M. James of that state, the tide for the Clark movement war Plainly indicated. | The situation as it now stands is controlled by the New York state dele gation under Charles F. Murphy, a dominant factor in the convention. Murphy has succeeded in wedging himself and his ninety votes into the situation in such a way as to contro) the whole show at this time. There is a strong impression cur rent here that this combination be tween the Clark-Underwood and Mur. out the whole convention The Wil son men in Pennsylvania and Texas are also helping the combination on the temporary organization fight. | If the combination does hold to} gether it means the nomination oi Clark or Underwood for the presi | dency, probably the former, the with CHARLES | é | » MURPHY, | | drawal! of the Hearst opposition to Murphy in New York and Sullivan in Tilinois, and general harmony in the rauks, where it is most needed. If it does not hold together Thomas Taggart of Indiana has a second string to his bow. At the present writing Mr. Taggart is supporting Thomas Marshall, governor of Indi- ana, for the presidency. In every camp in Baltimore politicians who are | not totally blinded by their loyalty to a candidate will say without hesita- tion that they could easily support | Governor Marshall in the event of a deadlock. The same thing is being said in the Harmon, Wilson, Under- wood and Clark camps about Senator John W. Kern of Indiana. In the event of an absolute deadlock it seems certain that Indiana will land on the ticket with one of these two men. What William J. Bryan will do in | the face of this situation remains to | {be seen. At the present writing Mr. | Bryan is fighting mad and he pro- poses to take his troubles to the floor | of the convention and speak his mind in characteristic fashion. Some of the conservatives are spreading the | report that Bryan will combine with _ Roosevelt in a third party, if he re- mains dissatisfied. One of Mr. Bry- an’s close friends said: “If William J. Bryan ever intended to bolt the Democratic party he would have done it long ago. Mr. Bryan knows the fate of a bolting candidate, He is a believer in the theory that Zeform must come from within and } not without a party.” | TURNS DOWN SIX BANKERS | China Refuses Loan of $300,000,000. | Cabinet Officers Resign. | Washington, June 26.—China reject- }ed the $300,000,000 loan from the banking group of the “Six Powers,” probably because of the stipulation | tures.
