JUNIORS 6 IS TO 0.
Were Victorious Over the Seniors
the Annual If1tercIass Contest.

Vermillion, S. L., Nov. 2S.-Th most en-
.thusiasticI game of football ever played
In this city was pulled off on the univer-
sity gridiron Saturday afternoon. For
some time previous teams from the junior
and senior classes had been preparing for
the contest, and 1t was only a matter of
speculation as to who would win when
the men lined up for the final Struggle.
This was the first interclass game ever
played at the university, but there will
undoubtedly be many games from this
time on The Juniors were victorious last
Saturday, winning by a score of Is to O.
Two hundred spectators witnessed the
game, which was by no means an unin-
teresting one. The juniors kicked off to
the seniors, who, after a couple of downs,
lost the ball on a tumble The juniors
then started down the field at a rapid
pace, end runs by Beebe and Lehne. fgur
ing conspicuously in ground gaining.
Finally Hickey went around right end for
q touchdown. Lehne missed goal. The
first half ended without further scoring.
In the second half after the bail had
changed lands several times, Beebe got
away from the dignified seniors and
scored the second touchdown. Kick for
goal again failed. With only a few min
utes left to play, Lehne made a beauti-
ful place kick from the 3O-yard line. This
latter feat is something the first team Of
the u. has not thus far accomplished.
Fifteen-1ninute halves were played. In.
line smashes the seniors exceIled, but they

NEW LIGHT PLANT.
Madison Having Success with Munic
pal Ownership of Light and Water.

Madison Having Success with Munich
pal Ownership of Light and Water.
Madison, S.. D., Nov. 25.-The city of
Madison has just invested $4,000 in adj
ditional machinery-engine, boiler and
.dynamo-for the municipal electric
light plant, giving the plant a 65 and 95
kflowat capacity in dynamos, an SIS and
175 horse power in engines, and a 200
and 100 horse power in boilers.
Madison was the first city in the
state to.put in municipal waterworks
and an electric light plant, and its sue
cessful operation has been an encour-
agenlent for other towns. Its combined
receipts from water and light now eX-
coed $4,000 per year, the whole being
supervised, by q mayor who gets the
muniticent salary of SIS per year, and a
common council whose members re-
ceive SIS per year. The actual oper-
ating official, the superintendent, is
paid a salary of SIS per month, and his
assistant $50 per month.
While n private concern could I'M
doubtedly make more money out of the
city light n water than the munich
pality, still, under municipal control,
the Madison system has been reason
ably successful, in that the city has
thoroughly lighted as to streets
without expense. The total investment
in the plant, for water and light equip
ment, now approximates $1,000, a
moderate portion of which has been
narned by the plant.

Reason That the Suit Was
OnIya Test Case.

The Suit Originally Began on Question
of the Shipping of Oil in Original
Packages Direct from Refiner-

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 25.-The test case
against the Standard Oil company in
regard to oil shipments which did not
I'LL h requirements of the state law
took a new phase in the circuit court
saturday evening.
States Attorney Goodner appeared
before the court and moved the dis
missal of the case. giving as his reasons
that IN beginning the suit he had mere
~ acted for the attorney general on a
suit for a test case only and that at
present 1t appeared that Attorney Gen
eral Hall would take no further action
In the matter, claiming that when the
suit was started it was under an IN
outstanding that the case was to test
the gravity provisions of the new law,
while now the defense had brought into
the case the interstate commerce pro-
visions OF the law governing shipments
IN original packages. On account of the
Withdrawal from the suit of the attor-
ney general the motion to dismiss was
made.
Attorneys Homer and Stewart, for
defense, strenuously opposed the
dismissal of the cas- and the release
OF their client, as they desired the
Whole matter to go to trial, and they
denied n agreement to try only on
the gravity provisions of the law and
claimed the right of their clients to
raise any point in the case when they
went to trial; that the interstate COM
merce phase of the law was as vital in
their case as any other part of it, and
that they should not be deprived Of any
OF their rights in the S On account
OF the failure or refusal of tie attor-
neys to act in the matter.
After, hearing the arguments Judge
Gaffey Withheld his decision until De-
cember A, the date set for the trial Of
he case.

cL.EW TO BURGLARS.
Team Stolen by Lyons Bank Robbers
Found in a Brush Thieket

Lyons. Neb., Nov. 1.-THE officials Of
the First National bank are in possession
of the first tangible clue regarding the
burglars who blew their stroag box Tues
day morning. During the day a report
had come from Decatur that the team
stolen from Farmer A. II. Hcrenbeen near
Lyons by the bank robbers a bean found
east Of there, but tho Information proved
to be erroneous and the team found be-
loAGed TO someone else.
Sheriff bowman Of Dodge county notified
the owner OF the missing team that his
horses u two-seatcd carriage had been
FOUND IN the brush upon the farm OF VIII
liam 6iebrassa, four miles east OF Hooper,
IN Dodge county,
The fac thai the missing team was
found near Hooper strengthens the convic-
ton that the burglars were at Hooper a
few hours after the robbery. About 80
Tuesday morning o men entered the
station at Hooper. They were strangers
TO everyone about the depot. They are
described as having the appearance OF be-
ing very tired. They were all well dressed
In winter suits, Including heavy wooden
shirts, but wore no overcoats. While in
the station they all smoked cigarettes. The
quartet left Hooper for Omaha on the
train which pulled out from the station at
US, Nothing was known of the Lyons
robbery at the time n the men attracted
attention only from the fact that they
We're strangers.
In the opinion of the bank officials the
four men seen at Hooper were the ones
who robbed the bank, and it is on this
clue that the Oman police and Pinker-
tons employed BY the state banking board
are now working.
Rewards for the arrest and conviction
II the men now aggregate 1000.
