The Tournament.

The baseball tournament was
started we'll yesterday morning,
but there we're indications of
threatening weather all. day, keep
ing people away, and interfering
with the plans Of the promoters of
the tournament. A large number
of visitors arrived on both trains
from east and west and afew went
down to the grounds, but a great
number we're detained in the city
by the rain. In the afternoon,
the first ball game of the series,
Cooperstown vs.. Devils Lake was
to take place. All the players
were on the grounds and in good
condition for the game and all
necessary arrangements had been
made for a grand opening. A
band from Grand Forks has been
secured and it enlivened the crowd
with inspiring music during the
day. When the game was about
to be called, one Of the heaviest
and most violent rain storms ever
witnessed in the vicinity came on,
and the people we're compelled to
dispense and seek shelter where
they could. This put an end to
all the arrangements for Yesterday,
and the game did not come off.
This slight mishap will not ser
iously interfere with the tourna-
ment, rs the games will be played
today and Saturday in the series
first provided for. The manager
Of the Cooperstown team has
offered to play Hope for $10O
side, and pay fifty dollars toward
their transportation here, SO it is
likely that the Hope team will also
be here, as the offer will no doubt
be accepted. If Hope doesn't
dissapoint them the following
games will be played this after
noon. A change may be found
necessary however: l p. NJ
Grand Forks VS.. Devils Lake. 4
p. m.-Cooperstown VS.. Hope.
On Saturday the winners will play
for first and the losing teams for
third place The tournament pro-
misses to be a success, and pros
poets are that there will be a large
crowd present today and Saturday.
The teams are crackerjacks and
some of the best games ever wit
messed in the state will be played.
A restaurant has been opened on
the grounds, the hotel will furnish
lodging accommodations, and the
train runs at all hours. Come and
have a royal good time and show
your loyalty to your home team,
and appreciation of Devils Lake
enterprise by turning out.

A Momdn'S Club Joins the Abilene

The A bilene Reporter is overjoyed
In having q women's club behind it in
its fight on the town COW. Club women
are rarely milkmaids, and of course
would rather have roses than milk
The Reporter, in announcing the alli-
ance between itself and the club afOre-
said in the war against this special
kind of COW, says:
The club women of Texas, in q body,
are after the town COW, and even "a
little country editor" backed by such
formidable army, may be able to
make the fight warm one for come
great and wise mayors who oppose
progress. Read what the Federation

with the paragraph as printed:
Simply because A bilene is cleaner
than other towns is no reason why she
should not do better.
Perhaps the COW has brought about
the cleanliness of Abilene, or at least
contributed TO 1t. For it Is the habit
OF the beast to eat everything that

has been made that she ia the best

by Texas was q violation of Interstate

And just beyond the Philippines are
China's illimitable markets. We will
not retreat from either. We will not
repudiate our duty in the archipelago.
We will not abandon our opportunity
in the Orient. We will not renounce
our part 10 the mission of our race,
trustee, under God, of the civilization
of the world. And we will move for
ward to our work, not bowling out re-
grets like slaves whipped to their
burdens, but with gratitude for task

henceforth to lead in the regeneration
of the world.

highest court declared that there wa
no controversy between the two states.
In a word, if any wrongs had been suf-
fered, the victims were individuals,
and not the state OF Louisiana, and the
state as state could not represent
those individuals. Whether any
wrongs had .been committed, or
whether there were any le-
gal means by which redress
could be sought, were not considered
to be in the purview of the court: but
the onlysquestion to be decided was as
to whether there was any controversy
between the two states as states. This
question was answered in the negative,
and so the complaint of Louisiana was
rejected. "The question now arises,
with the business men of this city,"
says the,New Orleans Picayune. What
are they going to do, what can they do,
to defend themselves from the embar-
goes imposed upon their commerce by
trade rivals in other states?'" FEEDER
al interference is out of the question,
and state laws cannot be applied to
interstate controversies. This is a
matter for profound consideration. eff
retaliatory measures swould accom-
plish anything" adds the Pioayune,
"they would be in order; but, unfor.
tunately, they are not promising.
Some other device must be tried" 1t
is question for chambers of commerce
and boards of trade to solve.
