The commissioners If Sanborn
county appropriated 5000 for an ex-
hiblt at the Mitchell corr palace.
They believe that the prestige given
the county by such an exhibit is worth
the price. We believe they are right,
too. Anyhow, Sanborn county is al
ways on hand ! at the Mitchell
e%xpositions with about the finest ex-
hibit shOwn-as we'll as at state fairs
and other likely doings-as it is a
matter OF history that no county in
the state has gone forward faster and
with a greater rise in land values than
this same Sanborn. And yet there are
newspapers not a thousand miles from
Sanborn county which declined to adj
vertise the Mitchell corn palace, and
incidently their own exhibit, because
they were not paid for Though
the taxpayers OF Sanborn county-as
well as in other counties-contribute
their quota outright

The editor Of the GRAPHIC was
mighty well pleased while in his Office
yesterday to receive a call from Mr.
G. e. Besancon, n of the editors
and proprietors of the Pierre Free
Press-an exchange very much esteem
ed at this Office for a score Of years
Mr.. Beasancon was probably out this
way looking for some real estate bar
gains-though he did not say just
what his mission was. Anyhow, We
enjoyed his call very much and regret
ted that he couldn't visit with us ar
hour or two longer.

Official Paper Of the City and County
The White Lake Standard says:

The White Lake Standard says:
The merchants and business men of
White Lake who are advertising in
the Standard find 1t a paying PROPOSE
tiOn and the money we'll expended.
Some Of them are charging their
ads and are taking some space.
Yes, we've noticed it-noticed the
nice ads of the White Lake merchants
in the local newspapers-eith er of
which is carrying more home ads than
the GRAPHIC; noticed the same in the
Pukwana Press-twelve miles on the
other side Of us. The Press carries
month after month three times the
amount Of home advertising than we
do. Same thing at Platte-and at
Geddes-and all around us. Mean
while Kimball's old time trade is
drifting away to these towns. The
GRAPHIC goes into the territory of
these towns with a big subscription
list-making it possible for Kimball
merchants to place the merits Of
their goods right in the homes Of
people trading at White Lake, Platte
and Pukwana-we are constantly add
ing new subscribers right along among
them. Lots Of these people take news
papers from both towns-that is to
say, it is a common thing for a family
to get the GRAPHIC and a White Lake
paper at the same time, OF the Ora
PHO and a Platte paper-and scores
of those who get the Pukwana paper
are subscribers TO the GRAPHIC. We
are telling no news when we say that
the GRAPHIC is keeping up its end.
1t never was a readable sheet
and its circulation is increasing right
along. We have that pride in the
paper not to neglect it a minute for
any outside business or linterests-and
regret to say that, while many business
men Of the town p%atronize its adver-
tising columns right along, through
sunshine and storm, and are doing all
that they can afford to do in that
line-there are many business enter
prises not represented in its columns
at all. AS a cold matter Of fact, the
GRAPHIC carries less home advertis.
ing than any newspaper of its stand.
ing at home or abroad in all Of South
Dakota. At the same time it carries
more outside advertising than almost
any newspaper in a town of this size
that can be named. Now, isn't thai
a rather queer state of affairs:

SATURDAYS Ball Game.

The base ball game on Saturday
afternoon between the "Ninr Chums"
and the Crescent City Juniors, result
ed in a complete shut out of the visi-
tors by a score of 6 to 0. The game
ended during the first half of Sth in
ning aud while the Palatka team was
at the bat. With one man out, the
Palatka nine, because of decision
ny the umpire, prohibiting one of the
players who had retired in the game
to give place to a substitute, from re-
entering the game, refused to play
further and retired from the field.
That the umpire was clearly right
in his decision one needs but refer to
section two of rule 81 of Spalding's
Base Ball Manual.
There was general regret at the
action of the Palatka nine. The i'm
preston is that as the games are but
IN friendly rivalry the indulgence of
feeling at any honest decision of the
umpire is in bad taste.
The game opened with the "Nine
Chumsn at the bat, and as the game
progressed from inning to inning it
was clearly to be seen that the visi-
tors were out-played in batting, in
fielding and every other point. Early
in the game the Palatka pitcher and
catcher took exception to decision
and retired. Their substitutes were
handled worse than the regular play
ers, seeing which the original pitcher,
in the 8th inning, desiring to resume
his work, was denied the privilege by
the umpire. The attendance at the
game was large and the interest
intense.
In future games a boundary line
should be drawn far enough back so
as not to allow spectators to interfere
with the players or obstruct the
view of the audience.

Appropriate Exhibits Should Be
Made,

At a meeting of the Southeastern
Railway Land and Industria a
Agents Association, an organization
composed of the heads of the Land, 4,
Industrial and Immigration Depart
ments of the railways south of the
Potomac and Ohio Rivers, and east
of the Mississippi River, held at
Miami, Florida, March 6, 1903, the
following resolution was adopted:
"The objects of this Association,
and all the efforts of its members,
being to develop and build up the
States within our territory by in
crease of population and industrial
enterprise, we especially realize how
much good can be accomplished in
this direction by an exhibition of
the products Of the several States at
the st. Louis Exposition, where it
would attract the favorable attention
of hundreds of thousands of people
of the populous Northern States
from which we must hope to secure
immigration. 1t is for this reason
that we urge upon the people of the
several States within our territory,
who should be equally interested
with us in our work, the Importance
of taking active and Immediate steps
towards creating popular senti-
ment that will demand of the Legis-
latures of the several States that
they shall make sufficient apprOpri-
alton to defray the expense of max
ing such exhibits as will reflect
credit upon the States making them.
All classes of citizens should be in
terested in this movement, for it is
for the benefit of all, and we would
suggest that action be taken through
Boards of Trade, Chambers of Com
merce, City Councils, County Com
missioners, Farmers Clubs, State
and County Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Societies, and other organ
izations representing the people.
The time is short in which to make
preparation; work should begin inn
mediately and be continued until the
object is achieved

BASEBALL IN THE DARK BELT.

President Ernst Won Bargen of the
North Cincinnati Turnverein society
took trip south last summer, and
while in Mississippi attended a game
of baseball played to a finish by two
colored nlnes.
II never saw a more hotly contest
ed game in my life said Mr.. Won
Bargen the other evening.
"They played all the afternoon in
a broiIing sun, and far into the night,
before the ninth inning was reached,
and then it was tied score. The
PLAYERS had put up a half dollar
each with local colOred sport as an
evidence of good faith. The colored
sport had arranged the game and
taken in the receipts, which were
.SI1.27. At the end of the ninth in
ming it was dark, and a lantern was
brought into the park and placed be-
hind the catcher. The pitcher threw
at the lantern, and each side famed
out the strikers as they came with
no apparent effort, and the score re-
mained the same.
.sTo settle the contest the manager
lined up the two teams for a race t.
the Dry Run bridge, one mile dis
tant, and the first to arrive were to
receive their part of the money. lie
had sent emissaries or Judges, on
ahead to decide upon the winners.
When, at the shot of an old horse
pistol, the two clubs bOlted for the
distant bridge the manager started
with greater speed in the opposite
direction, and, after catching a
freight train, made for Mobile. He
has never been heard from since, and
the game got an awful black eye Id
that part of Mississippi"

How a Clever Lawyer Saved a
Defaulter.

AS parallel to the story of the
Berlin, Germany, bank cashier who
robbed the bank in which he worked
of $4,000 and confessed that he did
the Job out of revenge, the New York
Herald relates the following i'll
stance:
The episode occurred in Manhat-
tan not many years ago and had one
of the luminaries of the New York
bar for q central figure.
There came to the firm of which
this lawyer is a member client who
stated that he was employed in an
up state bank and that he had ap-
propriated the banks funds to the
tune of some thousands of dollars.
The time was coming when his de-
falcations must be discovered.
What was he to do? was the advice
he sought.
"How much of the banks money
could you lay your hands on now?'
the man of law asked.
"Oh, a hundred thousand dollars, y
was the reply.
"Get it, and then come back to
me-" said the lawyer.
So said, 50 done, snd some Gays
later the bank employe appeared in
the lawyers office and handed over
the 100000.
Thereupon the lawyer got into
communication with the bank. 1t
had been robbed altogether of say,
$4,000. The man of law had plan
by which the bank could recover
$4,000. What was it? Merely to
let its embezzling employe go scot
free. On that understanding $4,000
should be paid over to the bank at
once, otherwise there was no telling
whether the bank would recover any
of the stolen money.
The bank accepted the proposal.
Eighty thousand dollars was return
ed to it by the New York law firm,
its fraudulent employe escaped a
term in Sing Sing and the man OF
law pocketed 5000 as his fee.
