so many people have felt about giving en-

Gratitude and desire to help others has

not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has
it happened that so many men of national

a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.

ALEXANDRIA WON EASILY
Sioux Falls Canaries We're Shut Out
by the MaroOns of IL Neigh
boring Town.

Mitchell sent over quite a good del
egation to the base ball game at AL
exandria yesterday to see the contest
between the Maroons and the Sioux
Falls league team. The Alexandria
supporters were not wholly confident
that their team would win but
thought they would be able to hold
the Canaries down within hailing
distance. However, things went the
other way with a bump for Sioux
Falls. Tbs Queen City nine was de-
feated by a score of 4 to O. Archer.
of Plankinton, pitched the game for
Alexandria and Mike Nancy was at
the receiving end, both of whom
played gilt edged ball. Oscar Will
Jams, of this city, played short for
Alexandria, and he played without
an error. The Sioux Falls nine was
unable to hit Archer at the supreme
moment when hits were wanted to
produce runs. There was an immense
crowd present and the game was
greatly enjoyed.
VIII Scallln umplred II game in
the most satisfactory manner to both
mines. There "a only once that his
decision was questioned, and Captain
Warner wanted to show MI. Scallin
that he was wrong. The rule, how
ever, bore the umpire out in the de-
cision. Mr.. Scallin has umpired a
number Of games this summer and
he is accorded the distinction from
the teams of being perfectly fair and
impartial.
Five Of the Mitchell enthusiasts
who went over to Alexandria on the
Milwaukee passenger did not figure
on how they were to get back in the
evening, but after the game they
were so enthusiastic over the result
that n proposed they walk to Full
ton and take the Omaha passenger
home. The other four accepted the
bluff and started to walk and the
other fellow could not back out. 1t

WILL PLAY IN MITCHELL
The Famous Banda Rossa Will Rem
der Music for Ten Days Dur
ing Corn Palace Season.

SCREENINGS Banda Rosa, Italy's
famous cred Band,'' is coming to
Mitchell during the corn palace,
Sept. % to Oct. ], inclusive. The
announcement is extraordinary for
this will be the first opportunity to
hear a band which defeated sixty
four of Europe's best organizations Of
its kind in the memorable contest at
the Genoa exposition. 1t numbers
fifty men, CARRIED in red coats, whose
repertoire embraces practically every
thing of value ever written or ar
ranged for a concert band. This is
the bands fifth summer season in the
United States and the fact that it
is able to tour successfully in Amer
lea is good proof that it has strength
and standing. It began first in the
east, the most difficult of all parts
in America, to obtain a foothold.
Eugenio S%orrentlno, whom Italy
considers n of the greatest Of liv-
ing conductors, has the hearty good
will OF his musicians. The princi-
pal characteristics Of their playing
are said to be a wonderful sorority
of tone, which Italians dearly love,
and a remarkable ease in tempo, bv
which is meant the ability to work
up enormous climaxes and in the
next measure play a delicate pianis-
simo. Among the men is a group of
great soloists, the chief being Bot
tega, the trumpeter, who, says
Philip Hale, the noted Boston crit
ic, can give many gifted prima
donnas points on artistic ~phrasing.

Colorado. with the remains of their
little son, aged 10 months, who died
Thursday. They were met at the train
by loving friends and relatives and
the remains taken to the home Of
H. N. Cox, on Montana street. The
little child was very i'll for a month
and how it lived through its ailment
so long as that was a mystery to
the attending physician in Denver.
Mr.. Cox said the little child showed
"a wonderful physical condition to
maintain the battle against death
for so long a time. The death of
their little one is a sad blow indeed
to Mr.. and Mrs. Cox and their many
friends in the city and country will
extend their sincere sympathy in
their bereavement

a large humber Of friends gathered
at the home to express by their pres
ence the great sympathy they felt
for the bereaved parents in the loss
Of their little chlld. The services
were conducted by Rev. Fred T.
Drewett, pastor Of the Baptist

ALLEGED HSLAVE" GIRL
Chicago Citizens Have Been RECALLED
With Fake Story About Slave
Girl in This State.

a Sioux Falls correspondent gives
something of the details of the girl
who was taken from a farm near
Highmo1e, where the sensationalists
had it that she was held in slavery.
The matter has been investigated,
says the correspondent. and the case
was a fake pure and simple. The Mrs.
Mayer referred to in the dispatch
from Sioux Falls was a former resi-
dent Of Mitchell, her husband having
been engaged II the life insurance
business with the late John Hough
some years ago. The following is a
portion of the facts in the case as
given by the Sioux Falls correspond
ent:
The mother Of the girl was frozen
to death in the terrible blizzard
which swept over Dakota and the
northwest on January IL, 1883. She,
her husband and a young girl left
their home near Highmore, S. D.,
late in the evening to feed livestock.
AS they went from the house to the
barn they kept together by holding
each others hands. They attempted
to return in the same manner, but
Mrs. Haby let go her hold, wandered
away and was lost in the storm, her
body being found the next day about
four miles from the house.
Two little children had remained in
the house. A sister. of Mrs. Haby, a
Mrs. Mayer, lived near Highmore,
and took the older child to raise.
The baby, now grown into the young
woma an who is in Chicago. was taken
by a German family named Lemke,
who also lived near Highmore at the
time.
1t was generally understood that
the family had adopted the child,
but as the records were afterwards
destroyed by fire, non remains. For
several years the Lemkes lived neal
HighmOre. and as the little Haby
girl grew up She attended the High.
more public school regularly unit
the family removed to u farm which
Lemke had purchased about ten miles
from town.
There, it has been learned. she at.
tended the country school the same
as other children Of tie neighborhood.
Before the girl departed for Chicago
it was rumored at Highmore and vi.
cinitY that her aunt, Mrs. Mayer
who now lives in Chicago, wanted
the girl, it being understood that the
aunt was we'll able to give her a gooc
home and a better education thar
was possible in her South Dakota
home. The Lemke family consists
solely Of Lemke and his wife, and
they gave the girl such a home a.
most South Dakota families Of mod,
crate means enjoy.
According to an advertisement il

conforming to the city ordinance
with reference to burying it three
feet under ground, was tried before
Justice Reeves at the court house.
Mr.. Amsden's attorney, Frank Van
Wagenen, insisted on having a jury
to listen to the evidence and one was
secured, composed of G. G. Kathbun,
John Savage, W. g. Webster. f. P.
Stearns, D. H. Brown, and James
Grace. Chief Keith testified to hav-
ing found the dead animal at the
dumping ground, and that it lay
practically on top Of the ground with
some ashes thrown over it. Chas.
Roth stated that he employed Mr..
Amsden to haul the horse out there
and dispose Of it. The jury brought
in a verdict which found Mr.. Amsden
guilty OF the charge and Justice
Reeves evidently took a severe view
of the case and imposed a fine Of 1926
and the costs. The costs amounted
in all to S23. 80, making the total fine
1850 which was fully as much, if
not more, than the horse was worth
alive. Mr.. Amsden's attorney gave
notice Of appeal to the circuit court.
Chief Keith says that the ordi-
nance covering the dumping ground
is being continually violated. That
horses, cattle and other animals are
taken out there and left lying on the
ground with a little covering thrown
over them, when the ordinance re-
quires that all dead animals must be
buried three feet under ground. This
is the first instance where the chief
has been able 70 secure the evidence
to convict any person Of violating
the ordinance and he declares that
any other violation that he can dis
cover will receive the same treat
ment at his hands.

pearance as an organized company of
players. presenting New Jersey

good audience for a warm summer
night. The play is an entertaining
n and IN a general way was handled
very cleVerly by the company. MI.
and Mrs. Impson showed good char
acter work, and they were the life
of the play. In the part of jeremiah
Mr.. 1mpson showed some as good
work as was ever seen on the local
stage. Mrs. 1mpson was fine in her
old maid character. John Porter as
the tramp or tough character made
a good impression on his friends in
attendance, although the part does
not not give him full opportunity,
Miss Rowena Francis, the leading
lady, displayed ability that stamps
her as being good in her work, and
she makes a fine appearance. Miss
Maulsby is lively in her soubrette
work and keeps the action OF the
play moving while she is on the
stage. The other membres of the
company make fair support. The
~speclaltles are very good, and the
play rounds out in the last act the
best Of the evening, when the barn
dance is given. The company went
out west today and will play several
nights. H L. Maxwell is in charge
Of the company for Mr.. Fox.

Canadian government spends thous-

ture in regard to Its vacant lands. the
United States does not even print a

ands of young Americans are going to
Canada and taking up land there, while
land every whit as good here is given
