The New Ulm Baseball boys, all
dressed in green, came up Sunday
morning for a double header and
gave our local team a good lesson
in playing; but they suffered defeat
in both affairs. The morning game
was a very interesting one. Ster-
neberg of New Ulm pitched good
ball for his teammates and did not
let our boys get a hit, but was re-
lieved in the seventh inning by
Mitchlet of New Orleans, La., on
whom our boys romped, winning
the game in a n inning rush by a
score of 4 to 5. Abbott and Hill-
man did the slab work for the lo-
cals. The evening game was a
hot one, the visitors playing a styl-
ish game. Meitzen hurled the ball
for locals, for a few innings, then
Abott, and in a ten inning game
we were victorious by a score of 4
to 3. The New Ulm boys well as-
sisted by a fielder from Columbus,
some from Bellville and Mitchlet
of Louisiana played a very good
game and Sterneberg’s artillery
was excellent. Hillman, our pitch-
er, kept the crowd in good humor.
They were the best two game ever
played in our town this season.

the weather is going to be tomor-
row or next day. But you know
its soon going to be late enough to
lay aside your light clothes. We
have just received a large line of
the prettiest samples for Fall and
Winter suits you ever looked at.
Prices from $14.00 to $46.00. Fit
guaranteed.

The Third Game.
The third game of base ball be-
tween the professional men and the
business men was played Thursday
afternoon, and witnessed by a good
sized crowd. The line-up was not
in accordance with that of the oth-
er games, and from the view of
the optsider, it had ceased to be
the "old-timer” game. The pto-
fessional team won the day by a
score of 7 to 4.
We now carry in stock a very
neat line of boys’ suits, which will
be sold very cheap.

Last Saturday the streets of La-
Grange—the public square, was
literally alive with people from
every section tributary to La-
Grange. Money and merchandise
changed hands, and the clerks earn-
ed their salaries. The scene re-
minded the observer of the good
times of yore.
Charley, son of J. H. Killotigh,
while riding to the stand-pipe on
Tuesday night suffered the animal
to run against a barbed wire fence,
severely cutting bis leg. ’Though a
bit painful, it is not serious.
Owners of large cotton planta-
tions in the neighborhood of Gran-
ger and Taylor are in the city en-
deavoring to get the colored cotton
pickers. In part they have suc-
ceeded, as several coach loads have
departed for the sections above
mentioned.

William Karges, one of our old-
est citizens, during the great ex-
citement caused by the fire Tues-
day night, stumbled aud fell, with
his entire weight upon his right
arm. ’Though no bones were bro-
ken, the unfortunate man has ex-
perienced great pain.
The Institute.
The teachers of Fayette county
met at the public school buMding
in this city Monday, for a weeks’
session. Ninety-three teachers were
enrolled. At 9 o'clock County Supt.
G. A. Stierling called the Institute
to order, and the program for the
day was opened by the teachers
singing "America,” after which the
Rev. Thomas Hickling offered a
prayer, invoking the Divine bless-
ings upon the educators, the school
and the work of education.
After the organization was per-
fected, Prof J. L. Stierling of Fay-
etteville was elected secretary. An
address by the superintendent on
the plan and purposes of the Insti-
tute, followed, after which the fol-
lowing committees were appointed:
Committee on Course of Study:—
A. Morkovsky, Wm. Rdst, G.
Hauessler and Miss I. Heinsohn.
On Papers:—A. Nesrsta, Misses
K. Bohmfolk and C. Rummel.
On Statistics:—A. J. Jacobi, J.
Lidiak, A. Fricke.
On Resolutions:—F. M. Banks,
J. Gleckner, Miss E. Schlick.
After the morning recess Prof.
G. Urbantke of Blinn College,
Brenham, delighted the teachers
with a solo.
Much interest is being manifested
and, no doubt the Institute will
help to make the work of the teach-
er more effective and more benefi-
cial. ___ Sac.
Two Firms Less. v
J. F. Kainer, the shoe man,
closed his store Saturday, having
fully decided to retire from the
mercintile field. He will be the
travelling representative for the
Alexander Grocery Company. Mis-
trot Bros. & Co. will also remove
from LaGrange, much to the re-
gret of Thb Journal, as this is
the only firm that advertised ex-
tensively. They have marked down
their entire stock and the big sale
commences today. They expect to
close their business here Saturday,
September 21st.

Dr. Albert Lagipe informs Thb
Journal that the horse which a
negro brought to town last week,
to be shown to the sheriff, and doc-
tor, the negro claiming that some
one, bent on revenging himself
against the owner, bad cut out a
portion of the animals tongue, bad
not been shot, although the order
was given to do so. Dr. Latnpe
took the animal home and perform-
ed an operation successfuly, and
on Saturday turned the horse over
to its owner. The horse was able
to eat but with difficulty, but will
be all right in a few days more.
Both of the dairies in this city
suspended business on the 1st in-
stant. This put a stop to a conven-
ience that the public highly appre-
ciated, and many of the patrons of
the dairies were at a loss to know
how to get along without. But, in
private homes, arrangements were
finally made, and the morning cup
of coffee is flavored as before.
