feel a deeper, heaatier sympathy with
all the hopes and aspirations of labor
than the people of our state. None
recognize more fully than we, the Just
claims Of men who labor with their
hands. All thoughtful men are willing
to aid by all the e in their power
in trying to secure to honest, intelli-

is entitled. The comforts and luxuries
whicn we enjoy are the products of hui

Let us all observe this day, by uniting

Elk Point has gone through consid-
erabie excitement during the past
week. and has experience Il scene
never before Witnessed in the city. The
excitement and scene grew out of the
fact that the Boston Boomers. a fe-
male aggregation of base ball play
ers were engaged in II game on
the Sabbath day at the fair ground.

Truman Ames, attorney, and requested
him to notify the Boomers manager
that they would be arrested if they
played here IN Sunday. This was done,
but failed to have the desired effect.
AS the game WAS in progress, Deputy
Carter appeared on the diamond and
arrested the Boomers. They were
brought t. town followed by "A bowling
mob Of several hundred. who. by some
means managed to secure the escape of
the girls who were in "A c%arry-all. In
interfering with Deputy Carter the
mob acted unwisely. 1t Was a dis
graceful affair on their part. and we re-
gret very much that it occurred. On
Monday u complaint charging Sunday

Chamberlain before Justice Smythe
against u W players. The war
rants were not served till Tuesday.
Monday night the boys appeared before
Squire Norton, pleaded guilty to the
charge, and each vas fined 81 and
costs, amounting to $3.50 to each
player. Tuesday morning Justice
Smythc dismissed the action brought
before him.
One of the saddest cases that has
come within the notice of pen is

intense agony she passed the portals of
heaven to receive the reward she mer-
tied by her Christian life on earth.
The case is sad, particularly so, for it is
only a year ago hat she was married
to MIR. Duhaime, who is one of our

bought a cottage opposite George r.
Freeman's residence. They improved
it: and it was so coy and homelike
that it never failed to catch the eye of
every passer by. The home life of
this couple was heaven in itself, and
the sudden and sad death but illus
trates the inexplicable work of God.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
morning. The friends gathered at the
cottage, and escorted the remains to
the Catholic church, where Father
Kelley Conducted the exercises. In
his brief remarks he outlined that even
when our sorrow was the greatest there
was consolation in the thought that
heaven furnished Il haven of rest for
the dear departed one, and that her
spirit was now with the angels. The
members of the Modern Woodmen. a
society of which Mr.. Duhaime was a
member, turned out to express their
sorrow and sympathy with their be-
reaved brother.
John Kelley of Flandreau, the popu.
list democratic candidate for ngress,
addressed a fair-sized audience on
Tuesday evening from tho improvised
platform erected on the court house
grounds. The audience was largely
composed of republicans. 1t was the
first speech from an outside speaker on
the part of the populists in this county
for the campaign. MIR. Kelley is Wig
