PROCLAMATION.
Executive Chamber.
Pierre, S. ID.

Pierre, ;, ID.
In obedience to a custom estab-
lished by my predecessor and in
compliance with the provision of an
act of congress approved June 20,
1894, designating the first Monday
in September celebrated and known
as Labor's Holiday" as a legal pub
lie holiday.
/, Andrew E. Lee, governor of
the state of South Dakota, do hereby
appoint Monday, September 6, A. D.
1897, as a legal holiday throughout
this state, and ask of every citizen
its faithful observance.
1t is hoped that the public will
not view this celebration as a mere
play day for those who work with
their hands at hard toll. The occa-
sion is much broader in its require.
ments and is worthy of the sincere
devotion of those who toll in the
shops, in the stores, at the desks in
the Offices of our towns and cities.
Since by labor all must live, there
is no place where labor ceases to be
the prevailing influence ; it is
everywhere; it is the basic influence
of mans existence. There is no
point at which the truly honest and
benevolent Christian can rest and
say he has no interest in the work
of others and in a proper division of
toll and the fruits thereof. Incidents
are arising every day to emphasize
more wildly the fundamental con-
Germ which all men who are not
masters of industry should have in
the welfare of their neighbors.
1t is suggested that this day be a
fitting occasion for the people to
gather in their public houses and
groves to take under consideration
the many problems fresh in the pub
lie mind. IAN injury to one is the
concern of alp and those who desire
that Christian relations shall be
maintained between employer and
employee, who would elevate men
without capital to a place of indepen-
ence in the nations economy, who
would preserve popular liberty at
all hazards, should cheerfully and
enthusiastically participate in the
observance of the day.
In testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state to be
affixed at Pierre, the capital, this
eighteenth day of August, AID. 1861.
(Seal.) Andrew K. Lee,
w. III. Roddle, Governor.

Huron1te.
The attempt is now being made
by the populist press to make the
railroad question the leading issue
in the state campaign next fall. The
silver question is SO near the death
line that they dare not talk about it
in the face of advancing prices. But
the railroads are to be brought into
prominence and made to do service
in the campaign. The Wheeler
Palmer bill will be paraded around
the state and the peoples prejudices
will be played upon to the queens
taste. The next six months will
demonstrate the foolishness of such
demagoguism.

Today, Montevideo has more
enemies caused from ball games than
from any other one cause, and the same
can be applied to every other tow that
plays ball. In conversation with two
OF the Webster boys, we found that they
were very much disappoi nted with the
result, claiming that the gate receipts
were SO small that they all lost money.
BE this rs it may, we know they went
home feeling hard toward the town. . =

The revenue laws of this state
never having been legally passed

The and Game.
AS Seen by 1ontevideo.

The second game of ball between the
Webster and Montevideo nines was
played Tuesday on the Window Institute
grounds. The home(?) tea m, having
kindly given the game to rhe Websteritss
| the day before, a very magnanimous
| thing, privately assured the boys IT
would be all right TO place all the money
they wanted { 0 on che game today. we
| forgot to have an understanding as to
| which club and placed our money on
| Monte, which action, Fosness told US
| after the game, was very wrong,-that
we had not interpreted his W ink Alright.
Game was called at about 2:30 p. IN.
Umpire McErnie, who, by the way, In
our opinion, could knock the spots off OF
am OF Ban Johnson's Western League
umpires. The descendants OF the die
tionary man cam to bat first, and being
confronted by our impor ted pitcher,
Berg from Bergyille, seemed for he time
near-sighted or his Berglet started out
to Kill them al! off, as the first two men
to bat were hit by the ball, hard. This
procedure soon filed the bases but the
side was retired before Il run was mater
ialized Upon the locals coming to bat,
they succeeded in putting two italics on
the score board, the credit OF which was
largely due Rev. Chenard, who, enyelop-
ed in his Esquimo suit, upon going to
bat, loudly called for a chew OF gum.
Some samaritan kindly furnished him
with some nice, juicy tutti-irutti and he
aourished his bat and proceed ed to take
first base on four balls. He Immediately
covered himself with glory by p%urloining
second base in the sneakingest kind oil a
steal,-one that Doggie Miller would
give his old shoes to emulate. This so
b~efuddled the opposition that two runs
were credited to Fosnes' Failures before
they were retired.
In the first hall of the second, the
pitcher with the North Pole name and
the catcher OF Sioux Indian antecedents
proceeded to dance a grass dance around
the descendants OF Daniel until another
goose egg resulted. Monte, in her hall
to bat, succeeded in placing one more
run to the good cause.
In the first half OF the third, the Web.
sterites fell upon Berg, and, with the
assistance OF double-actioned red head
ed errors by the Count of Monte, eighI
scores were counted when the carnage
was over.
The next five ii mes to bat resulted il
goose eggs for Monte. They succeeded
in landing a tally ia the eighth and
ninth innings.
The features OF the game we're the ex
cellent umpiring, the gentlemanly con
dIct OF the Webster boys and the very
artistic manner in which Gooch agitated
the atmosphere without co nnectiI q will
the ball. Although our boys lost tn,
game, they were in it most of the time
and the number OF interested spectator,
who staid until the end testify to tn,
fact that Montevideoites have thei
share OF interest in the national game.

And Cato will tell Plato that he very WELL
While Hamlet the future in solilioquy will dwell
And wen hearken the hilltops and wen listen in

To the wonder and the thunder of the charging

But come, old friends and lead us to the meadows

For the boys who rang the Curfew once are getting

And Death, the reckless reaper is thinning out the
line;
But in dreams they drift to Bingen-to Blngen on
