rebuilt within the past few years. The
waterworks and sewerage systems are
now being extended on an extensive
scale.
Stretching away from Mitchell in all
directions is the very cream of the agri-
cultural lands in South Dakota. The
city is located at the gateway of the
fertile "Jim'' river valley-reaching
to the uttermost northern limits of the
state-and at the upper line of dozen
or more Of the most populous and
wealthy counties Of the state. For a
hundred miles or more in any directiot
the soil is Of unsurpassed richness and
the landscape dotted with highly i'm
proved farms, substantial towns and
growing cities. The county (Davison),
of which Mitchell is the hub, is located
almost in the heart of the James river
valley. The famous artesian basin I'M
derlies the valley, is particularly well
defined in Dawson county, and it's nu-
merous wells pour forth an unusual
quantity of water thruout the year.
There are upward of 700 flowing wells

facilities of the city have attracted
many substantial men to Mitchell as
a permanent home, that their children
might enjoy the educational advantages
which few cities in the state can equal,
and their families the best of social
intercourse with people Of refinement,
culture and good morals.
1t is doubtful if there is city of
equal population in the world cleaner
morally than Mitchell. The daily press
is remarkably free of reported viola
tons of the laws in Mitchell, notwith-
standing that it is "railroad town. -
Yet there is nothing "namby -pambyo
about Mitchell. 1t is the liveliest town
in the state socially. To it's freedom
from vice may be attributed much of
its steady, growth; it's permanent popu-
lation of home builders, and it's wealth
we'll distributed.
Mitchell is well supplied with the
best of modern public utilities, among
which is a thoroly up-to-date water
works system, supplied by battery of
three large artesian wells and powerful
reserve fire-pressure pumps; a splendid
electric light plant, telephone ex-
change and perfect sewerage system.

GARDENERS BRILLIANT DEBUT:
 PITCHED GREAT GAME YESTERDAY
Only Two Clear Hits Made off Him. While He Only Gave Two Bases on Balls, One of Them Being the Only
 Run Scored in the Game.

Memphis, Tenn, May 2s.--tspeciai)-- There is no telling how many innings
 might have been required to settle to- days duel had Gardner. Montgomery's
 to get Downey's bunt in tho second in-
 ming on which Cannon scored. Gardner
 had previously passed Gannoh, who
 was pushed to third by Walters sac- rifice and Pabst's juggle of Lows grounder. Downey was next up and that did the damage. He dumped the ball to Gardner's right and Cannon scored. although Gardner retired the batter at first. That run was the lonely one in. A record game for Red Elm grounds In years. Less than a,ooe maining away on account of threaten ing rain. It took but seventy minutes to complete the nine Innings and Mc- Intyre. Memphis's star twirler, estab- lished a season strike out record with thirteen victims, being aided by the dark clouds which placed the sun In partial eclipse preventing the Mont- gomery batters from a perfect view of the tremendous speed possessed by the local man. Mcintyre rose supreme in the final inning when Durett, Lansing and Delahanty sucumbed in succession. Every visitor but Gardner famed at some stage of the contest. After the game Manager. stickney said he thought he had drawn a jewel in Gdrd- ncr. So far as actual hits fell he allowed but two, Miller and Cannon pluncking clean singles. The scorer exempted Lansing from errors on. hard hit raps at him by Downey and Me- Intyre which caused the hits of each pitcher to total even.
 Stickney secured two hits but was out on base each time. His smash in the fourth ordinarily would have netted three bases. but he mired In the mud between second and third and was nailed at third by Duggan's throw. 8

INHALED ON STEEL PICKET.
 CHILD MEETS AWFUL DEATH

Joseph J. Walden, years of age, met death in horrible manner yesterday He fell, while attempting to walk a fence. striking his right temple on one of the steel pickets, and driving it to the base of his brain.
 Thus impaled, the little fellows body hung down the side of the fence like a fish on a hook. He died shortly after being taken to a hospital
 The dead boy was a son of Mir George A. Walden, who lives on Jes- ferson Davis Avenue. He attended the Sunday school at St. Johns Episcopal Church yesterday morning. following which he went to the home of Mir and Mrs George Williams, No. 314 Wash ington Street, to play with some other boys about his age. It was here tho accident took place, about il o'clock a. m.
 Shortly after reaching the Williams home. Joseph ran into the house and spoke to Mrs. Williams and some other ladies present. HeI was bright and happy and talked Of his school and Sunday school lessons, before running out to the front of the house. The fence is bricked up part of the way and then raised to the usual height by sharp pointed steel pickets. The chill dren in the yard were amusing them selves by jumping on and over the fence. Joseph attempted to walk along the top and lost his balance. He fell on his right side, his temple coming down on one of the steel points with terrific force,
 The picket was driven by the force of his fall about two inches into his head and the little fellow rolled off. his body hanging down to one side,

suspended by the cruel steel which had entered his skull.
 Cries from the other children brought the members of the household to the scene. The child was taken down and carried tenderly into the house, and . physician called. The little one went at once into convulsions and the expec- tation of the physician was death from the beginning. The doctor sent the wounded boy to hospital, where an operation to determine just where tho metal had penetrated to was perform ed. but 1t was useless so far as beneht went. Convulsions kept up until 6 o'clock. when death came and relieved him of all pain.
 MT. George Walden. father of the child, well-known in the city. has been at his old home in Uniontewn for some time recuperating, having suffered a severe illness recently. The mother of the child has been dead for some time. She was Miss Annie Spangler, one of the well-known and highly esteemed young women in the city in her lifetime. Mir. Walden is a brother of Capt. W. J. Vail den of Uniontown. well-known in State troops and Spanish war circles, who served with the American army in the Philippines.
 After the child's death his body was carried to his home on Jefferson Davis Avenue and prepared for burial. There sorrowing friends watched over the re- mains until morning, awaiting the ar rival of the heart-broken father. who will find cold in death the boy he left in health and happiness only a few short days ago. Over the telephone last night the sad news waas conveyed to the stricken father.

 A mee ing of the League has been held at which numerous questions in- Yolving the welfare of this city have been impartially discussed and plans inaugurated which if consummated will mean a great deal to the business growth of Tuscumbia. A committee has been appointed looking to the or- ganization of a fire company in anticI- patton of the early completion of the waterwOrks by the Sheffield company, which is now well under way, the pipes being laid through the streets of this city, and the main completed from shefield to this point.
 A voluntary hook and ladder com pany with the necessary equipment will likely result pending the purchase of q complete equipment by the city au {.
 A committee was appointed to arr range for big 4th of July celebra- tion, and another for some summer amusement in the city park. The street car line will probably be com pleted to Florence and it's completion celebrated by the citizens of that city on the 4th. and great crowds. viii doubtless gather in the two cities.
