HEARD A GOOD SERMON.
Old Soldiers and Relief Corps At.
tended Memorial Services in
a Body Sunday.

The court room in the court house
contained large audience Sunday
afternoon on the occasion of the an
nual memorial services of the G.. A.
r. and w. r. G. Previous to the
hour of service the two bodies met
at the post rooms and marched to
the court house and occupied seats
within the railing. There was a
very good representation of each
order present.
Some appropriate music was fur
nished by choir composed Of Misses
Lee and Tillotson and Messrs. Dow
ney and Kratz, with Mrs. R. N.
Kratz at the organ. An impressive
prayer was given by Rev. D. R..
Tomlin.
Rev. T. H. Youngman, pastor of
the Methodist church, delivered the
address of the afternoon. The effort
was highly commendable for the
splendid patriotic sentiments it con-
tanned and its clear presentation in a
new light of what the soldiers of the
civil war accomplished when they
preserved the United States from
disintegration. In the light of the
events of today, the war that this
country has been engaged in, opened
up an avenue of thought and sugges
tion which DR.. Youngman made in
teresting. He contrasted what nigh
have happened had the south beer
successful in seeding and what it
attitude would possibly have beer
when the government went to wa
with Spain. His tribute to the OLE
soldier and he of later years, was in
i deed worthy one.
| With the benediction pronounced b,
DR.. Youngman, after the singing o
america" by the choir, the audi
ence dispersed, and another memoir
lal Sunday had passed into history.

This success puts Mitchell ahead
of the Huron meet
Making Good Showing
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
!Phe first inform alton that came
from Huron this morning with refer
ence to the work that is being done
by the University athletes was not of
a very encouraging nature. 1t was
reported that a telegram stated that
j johnson had failed to qualify in the
100-yard foot race and that he had
been beaten out by three Brookings
men in the preliminary trials. 1t
didn't seem possible that johnson
had been hoodwinked by the Brook
ings men to any such extent. The
Republicans special this morning
stated that up to last night Mitchell
had secured % points to 30 for Brook
ings.
This afternoon there was change
in the report of one or two events in
which Mitchell figured strong as a
winner. The Republican was in tele-
phone communication with the. ..Hu-
ronite and. got the following report:
In the 220 yard hurdle final Brook
ings was first and Mitchell second.
The Huronite report stated that
Kingsbury would have won for Mitch
eli but for an accident that happened
at the close of the race.
In the pole vault Nolt of Mitchell
took first place, and another Mitch
ell man took second. Nolt vaulted
ten feet and two inches.
In the discus throw Miller of
Mitchell took first place With dis
tance Of 80 feet. Mitchell also took
second, with Yankton third.
The finals in the 22O yard run had
not been finished but johnson was
qualified for the final race.
3rookings won the half-mile run,
Hayter being up.
In the 120-yard hurdle race Yank-
ton won first, with Kingsbury second
and Brookings third.
In the 50-yard dash Johnson was
first, Miller second, both of Mitch
ell. with Hoard of Brookings third.
The time was 5:7-1O seconds.
The half-mile bicycle race was won
by Brookings, Baker Of Mitchell sec
ond
There was great surprise in the
hammer throw when it was an
nounced that Brookings won first
and second places. 1t was seemingly
a dead sure thing that Miller would
win this event, but instead he only
got third place, his distance being
105 feet. BrooEings won the throw
in 112 feet and inches.
| In the 440-yard run Brookings wor
| first and second places with Kings.
bury of Mitchell third.
The 1OO-yard dash was another OF
the events that it was expected that
johnson would take, and it was this
that was enormously reported this
morning. johnson took first, Brook.
ings second and Yankton third
Time was 10 LIS seconds.
This is as far as the report coulG
be given up to the noon hour. There
are quite number of final events tt
be run this afternoon, and it is ex
pected that complete report viii
be received this evening after th'
events of the day are over with.

Driving the WOrkmen Out

Paterson, N. J. Especial - Striking
dye helpers stormed the establishments
that were still running, and by force
compelled complete suspension Of bust
ness in their trade.
They engaged in a series of running
fights with the police and plant man
ayers, and in one of the severest clashes
exchanged a volley of pistol shots at
them. Many persons on either side were
severely injured during the rioting, but
none dangerously So"
1t was believed for time that il
would be necessary to ask the State for
troops to restore order and insure pro-
lection to life and property but the po-
lice expressed confidence in their ability
70 handle the situation and no request for
outside aid was made. Judge Dixon
called the grand jury and charged them
to indict the persons guilty of rioting.
The conservative element among the
strikers had in the meantime disavowed
the violence of their fellows and urged
A return to peaceful means to gain the
end that was sought.
A written demand upon the employers
for pay was formulated, and committees
opened negotiations for its consideration.
Large numbers of the strikers were in
sullen spirit, and it is predicted that any
attempt on the part of the employers to
resume business without dealing with
them would be desperately resisted.
When the strikers completed their cam
paign against the plants in operation, the
number of men out was found 10 be
nearly 1000
The disorder began early in the day
and was unexpected.
