Notes of the Game.

1t was conceded that DR.. Moore could
not tell a ball from strike and the
players think he ought to have leath-
er medal.
DR.. Graham could not be induced to
play in the game with the University
faculty. He was to have played be-
hind the bat, but there WAS not a feath-
er bed available for the catcher.
Frank Wiasor did go TO sleep that
time when the catcher threw
down there and caught him several
feet away from the base. He redeemed
himself on two flies that he caught
handily
Elce came out in bran new mother
hubbard costume and once it's folds got
wrapped around his feet and gave him
hard fall when he was trying to steal
third base.
1t burt Scriven to think that his
pitching days were over. His arm be.
gan to pain him after few throws and
the batters had great sport with his
curves.
They couldn't line 'em too hard tc
Mccartney on first HE costume gave
him great confidence in his ability.
Joe Morrow would have been better
satisfied if he could have had a thres b
ing machine engine to chase the BALL
over in his garden. Joe should have
credit for three Dagger.
Umpire Moore wore new suit O
clothes the day following the game
No wonder the business men lost.
Becker took good care of his kopje i
center and got the balls back will

the coming year. The following pres.
ent teachers were again employed:
Misses Conner, Saul, Miner, McVay,
Nobis, Warne, Foley, Thompson, Ball,
Rogers. Prof. Grant, of Deadwood,
was elected as the principal OF the
high school, to take the place vacated
by Prof. Grace, who goes to Miller as
The superintendent of the city schools.
Prof. Will Herbert was no applicant
for reelection to his place as assistant
principal owing to the fact that he de-
sires to return to Lincoln, Neb., and
continue his studies in the law school.
1t is his ambition TO become q mem
ber of the bar and for this reason now
gives up the idea of remaining in the
teaching profession. Miss McVay, who
has been teaching in one Of the other
departments, was promoted to that of
assistant principal. Miss Anna Hanne-
buth, of Plankinton, was elected to the
place vacated by Miss McVay in the G
s. D grammer, east side, and Miss
Lillian MoDonough, of Aberdeen, .
student over at the University, was
elected to the B grammer department..
Miss Rogers, who has been teaching
in another grade for several months,
has been returned to her former grade
in the second primary on the west side,
which department ehe has filled 80
acceptably. In the selection of Prof.
Grant for pr ncipsl the board feels that
it has secured an able and competent
instructor. He has been teaching for
the past three years in Dead wood and
has the highest possible recommends
tions from the best educators in the
state. With the new teachers added
the city schools will have strong
corps of teachers. The three new
teachers employed have held positions
as principals and assistant principal in
several schools in the state. This
demonstrates that the board is desirous
of getting the best possible talent for
the schools.
John Tucker was employed as janitor
for the east side schools, Warren Wells
was retained as the janitor for the west
side and Mrs. Carpenter will continue
to serve on the south side.
The session OF the evening was quite
lengthy and it was near the hour of
midnight when the board adjourned.

Decoration Day Exercises.

The various departments in the city
schools gave Tuesday Decoration
Day exercises. Each of the rooms
were very prettily decorated with the
national colors and in several instances
the designs were unusually attractive.
The programs were gotten up with
special reference to the occasion and
were indeed fine. Representative
from the G.. A. R. and W. r. c., who
were appointed to attend the exercises,
were present in the various rooms to
which they we're assigned and goodly
number of citizens took advantage of
the occasion to make a visit to the
schools.

j. W. Lindsay, of Armour, was in the
city and accomp panied two settlers here
to file relinq quishments on the Yankton
reservation, which they got for $500
each, and are conside cred cheap at that.
Mr.. Lindsay says that the Milwaukee
road is pushing It's grading down in
Charles Mix county pretty fast, and
that the grade between Geddes and
Wagner is about finished. They hope
to have trains running to the end of the
road by the early fall.

the second they made elk runs and they
swatted the ball in every place, tiring
our fellows out chasing the ball. In
the third with the aid of the umpire,
who by this time was getting rank,
they made four more and did the same
total of 1S rurs.
Our boys got two runs in the second
inning, one In the third, none in the
fourth, and two in the fifth, making
total of Ia.
DR.. Moore was the umpire on balls
and strikes and Geo. A. Johnston
officiated on the bases, but his umbrella
interferred some what in him seeing the
bases. Moore stationed himself in the
center of the diamond and enforced his
decisions with big horse pistol which
hung at his side. Several efforts we're
made to get him to relinquish his auto
cratic position to give our boys chow
at the game when things looked bad
for US, but he brought the gun into
play and he was permitted to send his
home team down to utter defeat.
Space forbids us to print the express
sions made by the town players at the
perfdy exhibited by one who would
not stand up for his own people. ALI
efforts to d,alodge him proved frultless
aud IL Is the concensus Of opinion that
|, he had given our other umpire ia
show at the game victory would have
been placed on our banner in big let

Several of the players had their abil-
ity recognized by the presentation OF
flowers. These were selected with
great care from the garden and given
only to the star players, who, however,
did not seem to appreciate the favors.
In the second inning q new pitcher
was substituted and Scallin went into
the box and the manner in which he
manipulated the curves was q caution
and the manner in which those Univer'
sity professors lined out the ball was
equally cautious. Mccartney wen
over TO first base and made q goo6
clean record for himself. Severa
other changes were made which brok.
up the team work for which they were
famous.
Scriven had an idea that he coule
pitch, ae he had just been down tt
Sioux City and saw league game. 1
only required q few minutes for Johl
to recognize the fact that his arm hat
loet it's cunning and the ball would no
curve for him as it used to, SO Scalli
returned to the box and finished ou
the game to his credit. Joe Moro,
objected to the professors knockin
such long flies as it was beyond his er
durance to make the return trip i
time to do effective work.
Well, the game was called at the en-
of the fifth inning in time to gi-e th
people chance to get home and ge

boys will appear on the diamond, .

West Point, Dec. 19.-The military court of inquiry which began taking tes- timony in Bristol, Pa, on Monday after noon, resumed the investigation of the charges of hazing and brutal treatment made by the parents of former Cadet Oscar l.. Booz, who died a couple of weeks ago in his home in Bristol, Pa. Fourteen of the 68 cadets of the second class were examined during the after noon, and all of them who knew Booz declared that his standing with his class mates was not very high, as they looked upon him as a coward. The story of his fight with Kellar in 1898 was told by Ca det O. N. Tyler, who seconded Booz. When asked by the court why he did so, Tyler said, Well, Booz asked me to be his second. and I could not well refuse. '' Every one of the witnesses denied that any brutal hazing occurred, and two of them said that the "bracing" and set ting up drills" were only "correctional measures" and neither injurious or humil- iating. Every one of them seemed to give a straightforward story, and one and all denied that Booz had been interfered with on account of his religious belief or tapdanaffac

o.man Pa.ha to Lead a Revolt.

Paris, Dec. 19.-The Matin publishes dispatch from London giving an inter view with Osman Pasha, general of the Ottoman army who recently left Turkey clandestinely. The Turkish officer, who is a relative of the late Osman Pasha, the ''hero of Plevna," unfolded plans for ridding Kurdistan and Armenia of the yoke of Turkey. Accompanied by his partisans, some of whom are in Europe, he will return to Kurdistan, where, ac- cording to his statement, the population, already secretly armed, only awaits his arrival to march as one man against the oppressors. He says that the Ottoman empire will be compelled to engage in one of the most formidable struggles in It's history. He expects to be able to put into the field an army of 100000 men and IS confident of rescuing the people from a state of anarchy and social objection.
