The much talked of successful
football team seems to have come
to an abrupt ending as we notice
that the boys have quit practicing.
What's the matter boys? Do you
know all about the game? If you
intend to make showing this Fall
practice will do you more good
than coffin nails.
Attorney A. P. Loomis, who rep
resents the worthy grand president
of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles,
visited officially with the local
lodge Sunday and was greeted with
a large assemblage. The visit of
Mr.. LOOMS did the local lodge a
great deal of good and it is hoped
by the members of the order that
he will make just such visits more
frequently.
Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Rawson ar
rived in the city quite unexpectedly
Saturday, coming from England.
Rev. Rowson preached to large au-
diences at the NJ. E, Church Sunday
giving two we'll received discourres.
The couple are already fairly on
their way to housekeeping at the
parsonage which had been newly
papered and painted for the pur-
pose.
!. John L. Owens and George Par
melee left here Wednesday morn
ing for the "Parmelee Hunting
Lodge" on the Whiteface river, to
get the camp and surroundings in
readiness for the reception of a par
ty of hunters which will be COM
posed of General Manager Matt
land, of the Republic Iron & Steel
Co., and Superintendent Parmelee,
of the Franklin group, and others.
At the meeting of the Modern
Woodmen last week it was decided
to place lodge lamp in front of
the hall and have it lighted on each
meeting night. 1t will be the same
kind of globe lantern as that used
by the Odd Fellows and the word
ing will be appropriate to the order.
Hereafter when lamp is lighted the
Woodmen of the city will know that
meeting will be held that night.

Thrilling Runaway.

During the progress of the ball
game at Boulevard park Saturday af-
ternoon the spectators were treated
to an incident not down on the pro-
gram.
Joe Dillman had driven Judge Kuy-
kendall, of Saratoga, out to see the
game in u two wheeled cart drawn by
one horse. When near the grounds
the animal became frightened and
broke away. After dashing for a
hundred yards across the open prairie
the cart was overturned and the oc-
cupants thrown heavily to the ground.
The accident was witnessed by sever
al hundred people in the grand stand
of the ball park. Although severely
bruised neither of the gentlemen sus-
tanned serious injuries. The buggy
was partially Observation-Disclosures.

Mrs. John Wallis, of Green Noun.
tain, brought to town a freak in the
nature of a four-months-old calf,
which was born at the ranch, without
hair. The skin is as smooth as a
humans and the lower jaw of the ami
NAL bears some resemblance to the
human physiognomy. The animal
has to be blanketed every night to
protect it from the cold. The freak
is ON exhibition at DR.. Maghee's home.
The doctor offered it to the manage
ment of Ringing Bros. circus, but
they do not carry freaks with their
circus. Other shows which deal in
that class of animals would no doubt
pay a big price for the curiosity.

A Woman of Nerve.

Mrs. s. j. Farris, the m
freighter who resides at Battle Lake,
was down from that place Friday.
She has not entirely recovered from
the injury she sustained about six
weeks ago by having her shoulder
crushed between two wagons. 1t was
discovered two weeks after the acct
dent that the broken shoulder blade
had not been properly set and that
it would have to be broken over and
reset. We will relate this par of
the story in Mrs. Farris, own lang
uage:
Il had to go down to Rambler to
have the operation performed" said
she. 81 walked down there, a mile
and a half and waited until 5 O'Clock
for the doctor. He wanted to give me
c%hloroform, but l have a bad heart
and so l said no, you just go ahead
and break it over again, l can stand
it. And SO the old doctor, he just
undid the bandage and taking the
arm just twisted away until the bone
snapped. You could hear it break
as plain as you could hear anything.
Then he put it in a plaster cast and
l went in and ate a hearty supper,
after which l walked back to Battle
Lake"
To hear Mrs. Farris tell the story
it sounded like she was accustomed
to having her shoulder broken every
now and then in the course of bust
ness. But the doctor says she dis
played o nerve than he ever found
in any of the sterner sex 1t certainly
was an extraordinary disylay of cour-
age and Mrs. Farris deserves credit
for being the nerviest woman in the
state, if not In the entire west.

Presbyterian Minister.

Rev. E. B. Gramcko, formerly pas
tor of the Presbyterian church at
Emory, S. D., arrived here Saturday
and held services in the Presbyterian
church here on Sunday, both morn
ing and evening. He came here for
the purpose of looking the field over
with a view to accepting the p~astorate
should the church extend a call to
him. A congregational meeting was
held in the church Tuesday evening
and it was voted to extend a call to
Rev. Gramcko, which that gentleman
accepted.
Rev. Gramcko was very pleasantly
situated at Emory, but was compell-
ed on account of asthma to seek a
higher altitude where the atmosphere
is dryer and more bracing. He is
very much pleased with this altitude
and also with the people and the
passionate. He has a wife and five
children, and will dispose of his
household goods at Emery and move
to this place at soon as the matter
can be satisfactorily arranged with
the Presbytery of Dakota. He is a
very pleasant gentleman and we are
sure he will fill the position satisfac-
torially.

School Teachers Engaged.

The board of school trustees of the
Saratoga district held a meeting last
Monday and engaged teachers for
the intermediary and primary depart
ments. Miss LYDIA Crow, of Battle
Lake and a sister of A. H. Crow of
that place, was engaged for the inter
mediary and Miss Roberta Hunting
ton was re-engaged for the primary
department. The PRINCIPAL, Prof. j.
Il. Rollman, was engaged one year
ago for a term of three years. School
will open Monday, September 10th.

Beautify the City.

A ride through the streets of Sara
toga will convince the most skeptical
that we have here, on the banks of
the North Platte river, the oppor-
tunity to make this spot one of the
most beautiful and enchanting in the
entire west. With an abundance of
water for irrigation and a soil that
will produce anything almost, there
is no reason why it should not be a
bower of trees and shrubbery,glowing
with the color of a flower garden.
In proof of this we desire to call at
tention to the beautiful lawn in front
of the residence of E. P. Andrews. A
year ago it was acommon yard, bar
rem and uninviting in appearance, like
many Others. Today it is bright with
color and yerdure and fragrant with
the perfume of the flowers it contains.
Trees and shrubs have been set out
and are aourishing. 1t is a sight that
will do your heart good. Go and
look at it.
This transformation was brought
about by means of a windmill and a
little labor. At a cost of between
$50 and S75 any one can duplicate
that beautiful lawn and enhance the
value of his property about double
and at the same time beautify the
city and bring pleasure to the heart of
everyone who beholds it.
Another thing: There were prob
ably 1000 young trees set out in the
different yards in this town last
spring. A few issues back, The Sun
said it believed that fully three-fourths
of them had died for lack of care.
We want to take that back, for we
find that fully three-fourths of the
trees planted are alive and hourishing
which shows that the hearts of our
people are in the right place and that,
in a few more years, Saratoga will be
a forest of trees and a thing of beauty,
and we all know the truth of those
lines, "A thing of beauty is a joy for
ever"
Don't get discouraged. When
spring m around again plant
more trees, and water them with care,
and when the year rolls around and
brings spring to us again-why, plant
more trees, and keep it up and sue
cess and joy will crown your efforts.

WELL SATISFIED.
President and Secretary of the Olympia
Mining Company Return from their
Tour of Inspection and are Well pleas
ed with Outlook.

Mr.. Nilsson and Mr.. Bergquest, the
two Chicago gentlemen who are con-
nected with the Olympus mining Co.
as president and treasurer, returned
the first of the week from their in
spection of the company's property
and a tour of inspection through the
copper mining district. They are
very much pleased with what they
saw and are deeply impressed with
the future of the mining interests of
this country. They are close observ-
ers and shrewd business men and
will be able to make a good report of
their trip to their constituents in Chi
cago.
1t is quite likely that another strong
mining company will be formed out
OF their trip to this country. Chicago
capitalists are taking hold of copper
propositions in this county and, with
their well known push and energy
are making things move right to the
front.
We shall always be pleased to vel
come such men as Mr.. Nilsson and
Mr.. Bergquest and hope to see them
here next year.

THE FERRIs-HAGGARTY MINE.
Now Engaged in Sinking Shaft and
Running a Tunnel--Emplovs AZ men,
VIII Expend $7S,ooo this Coming Fall
and Winter in Development Work.
VOL. IL. NO. 8.

Hon I. c. Miller, the president of
the Ferris-H aggarty Mining company,
who was down this week, went back
up to the mine Friday. While here
he favored The Sun with some inter
esting information concerning the
mine and its future. Mr. Miller said:
at is not our intention to haul any
more ore to the railroad, for the rea-
son that it does not pay in the long
run. We expect to dispose of the
most of our ore teams and ore wagons
and entirely abandon ore hauling.
Probably next year we may put in re-
duction works at the mine and matte
the ore for transportation to the road.
"At present we are sinking on
the shaft and running a tunnel. We
are now down $50 feet in the
shaft and will go on down to a depth
of 1856 feet, where the shaft and tunnel
will intersect each other. The shaft
is in ore all the time. We are also
running up-litts in different parts of
the mine, connecting the different
levels. By this means we will block
out a great deal of ore for future
stopping.
ave have advertised for bids for
the completion of the tunnel which
we are now working on. 1t is to be
800 feet in length. We will be in $50
feet by the 10th of the present month
when we expect to let the contract for
the remaining 750 feet. Uplifts from
the tunnel to the different levels will
also be run and the mine put in the
best possible shape for taking out ore
in the future. We are going to spend
$4,000 in development work alone
this winter. We have Al men on the
pay roll at present. We are having
1000 cords of wood put in for use
this winter"

Bond and Lease on Meta.

j. W. Heather tells us that he has
signed = bond and lease ON the Meta
mine situated on South Spring creek,
very near the rich strike of johnson
and Carpenter, recently reported in
this paper. The lease and bond runs
TO Winter and Hopper of Encamp-
ment and they are to put machinery
in place and begin operations at an
early date.
The Meta has always been consid-
cred a galena mine until recently,
but Mr., Heather informs us that as
depth is gained the ore is running
more and more TO copper. 1t is like
ly to develop into a good copper pro-
Queer, rs it Is a well developed assure
