The Star Supplement.

Messrs. Tindall and Harris, who have
arranged with the STAR to print four
pages of the paper in supplement form.

printing will be done in day or two.
The supplement will appear with next
weeks issue of the paper. The gentle
men expect to send large number to
the South Dakota building at the
Worlds Fair, besides distributing manv
among those who have patronized
them. They are doing the work who'll
ly upon their own responsibility-the
STAR merely doing the printing, as it
does other job printing. However. the
issue will be liberally illustrated and
as those whose business will be written
have 20. KID" the write-up thew will
doubtless be generally pleasing. The
young men are entertaining writer's
and we hope the edition they get I'M
will be of benefit to the town and those
who patronize them.

VERY DISASTROUS TRIP
The Hot Springs Ball Team lis Defeated
Every Game Played on the Trip
to Rapid and DeadwOOd.

Our base ball team went to Rapid
City and Deadwood last week for games
with the clubs of those cities. They
met defeat at every turn but faced it
bravely. and came up smiling and hope
full at the end The score at Rapid on
Friday was 5 to and we drew the four.
At Deadwood Saturday it was Is to
and ours was not the Is, no, not by a
long shot. The Sunday game was a
vast improvement, the score being
to O to favor of Deadwood. Our team
was greatly handicapped on this trip,
three of the best men being absent
Garvey and LeCroix were laid mp at
home, and Williams, the fast little
short stop, failed to report for action

National sanitarium Progress

We who see the work upon the natl
onal Sanitarium progress day by day
hardly realize that some of the build
ings are rapidly nearing completion.
Ward six is about ready for the roof
and it will be put on soon. One can
now get fair idea of how the group of
buildings will look. The stone
work at least is magnificent and the
architectural design is decidedly at
tractive. The Board of Managers are
now advertising for bids for lighting
heating, etc, which increases the eX
penditures about 100000 more-bring
ing the total amount of work up to
about S5SO,00O. Advertisement for bids
can be seen in another column of the
STAR, the time for receiving bids eS
piring August 20.

The Lead rooters, taking the Saturday
game as a fair specimen of what the
Hot Springs boys could do, did not
turn out in great numbers, but the
dyed in the-wool rooters we're all there,
and in consequence we're shaking hands
with themselves last evening. The
game was an excellent one from start
to finish, and there was not dull
moment in the hour and twenty min
utes of play. It was anybody's game
from the start, and Hot Springs lost
game on an error of judgement on the
part of the second baseman, who had
a chance to tag his man and throw to
first, but instead threw to second, with
the result that, with two men out,
Cheatwood came to bat and hammered
out three-bagger that was a beauty,
scoring Peterson, who has the distinc-
tion of being the only one of the eigh-
teen men to cross the home plate. 1t
was an almost errorless game. Cheat
WOoo was AZ ClO OOA lOE A0duWOOu,
while Letheby delivered the sphere for
the Hot Springs club, and the latter
proved his ability to play in fast com.
pany.
That the Hot Springs boys are all
ball players and thorough gentlemen
cannot be denied. Their team was
slightly crippled, as their first baseman
is i'll and this necessitated change OF
some of the men from their regula,
positions, but at that they need not be
ashamed of the game they put up.
1t seems passing strange that a tow1
the size of Hot Springs can support {
team like the one that played yester
day, while Lead, by far the largest anc
best town ill the Hills, does not ever
possess ball team, but it is deplora
BILE fact nevertheless.
Jake Thompson of this city umpiree
the game and gave general satisfac
ton.

A Penitentiary Bird.

Richard b. Flick is no stranger be-
hind Jail and penitentiary bars, having
been locked up for various offences in
many towns and different states. He
only recently completed term in the
Wyoming penitentiary. He has been
hanging around Hot Springs for sever
al days and evidently concluded that
he had been good long enough. So he
got hold of some blank checks on the
First National Bank and proceeded to
fill them out for various small sums,
such as might be easily cashed by mer-
chants, signing most anybody's name.
He filled out one for S7.75 and signed
s. E. Wilson's name, took it to L. E..
Highley's drug store, endorsed it "R.
F. EARLY" and the young clerk cashed
it. Flick then worked off some more
checks about town for from s. to $40
each. Mr.. Highley suspected some
thing was wrong as soon as he saw the
check and was not long in being con.
vinced of the fact. He therefore made
complaint and Sheriff Petty got after
his man, who by this time knew he
would soon be in demand. Flick was
just starting toward Cascade, and was
arrested while crossing the Trimmer
bridge. lie was taken before Justice
Applegate, plead not guilty, and was
bound over to circuit court, being
placed under $500 bonds
Among other crimes committed by
Flick here, he stole his own valise. It
seems that he had borrowed money on
it down in Nebraska and had it sent
by express to him here, G. o. d. When
the Northwestern train arrived Flick
was hanging about the platform and
calmly picked up his valise and walked
off with it.

MILITIA ENCAMPMENT,
For State Militia Encampment--
An Excellent Program

Gen. Conklin is here with carload
of furniture and headquarter tents and
supplies for use of the militia and is
making every necessary preparation
for successful encampment. Several
members of the generals staff are pre-.
sent assisting him and it is evident
that no pains or labor is to be spared
that will tend to make the occasion a
memorable exclamation point in the
history of the Black Hills. The 3rd
battalion of the 3rd regi.
ment of the South Dakota National
Guard, occupying the military district
of the Black Hills, consists of four
companies, located respectively at
Rapid City, Sturgis, Custer and Spear
fish. The battalion and the said Milit-
ary district has been commanded by
Major Roy L. Sharp of Deadwood who
on account of official duties in civil
life, and the demands of his own busi-
ness pursuits has recently resigned
and captain William Mclaughlin. of
Spearfish has been promoted to the
command of the batillion and the
military district of the Black Hills.
Col. Amos Patriquin who for over
three years has been acting adjutant
general for the Black Hills military
district has also for business reasons
resigned and as yet no one has been
named for the position. The troops
will arrive Wednesday evening of next
week and will be met at the depot with
drays TO convey their tents and bag
gage to the camp which is in the City
limits on College Hill, west and north
of the college and base ball ground

will not be announced until the arrival
of Col G. Ii. Englesby, who will be
in command during the encampment

will be the guard mount. On Sunda.
afternoon at one o'clock religious ser
vices will be held the ball park, ant
following these services the usua

constitutes one of the most interestin
and beautiful military exercises know
to the service. Dress parade will tax

exercises should be witnessed by a
who can be present.

The following account of the first
game is taken from the Rapid City
journal:
"Things be pickin' up on Powder
River" said an old timer yesterday,
and right he was. Another victory was
snatched at the last moment, another
of those ''chills and fever" finishes, in
fact the rally that Powder River made
in their half of the ninth inning would
rival the final struggle of the old
''Eighty Stamps
'Two runs to tie, three to win"-that
was the war cry of the faithful. The
Springs trotted out in the last half of
the ninth as confident of winning as an
Uncle Tom show is of drawing a packed
house. Even Juckett had on the
ssSunny Jim" smile. and Linholm, the
boy wonder from the "Midway," was
waving his hand at the bleachers in
childish glee. To tell the truth, it did
look little dusty. But up came
Roush, tapped out little hit, and safe
on first was be. This was starter of
the end. Then the mighty Letheby
stepped up, and laced hit out over
the center fielder's head that would
have been good for home run, had ii
not been for the wind. This placed
Letheby on second, and Roush scored
Cornelison smote the ball for single
which put him on first He imme-
diately went to second. There they
stood, Letheby on third, Cornelison on
second, and ''no water hot" Then
Captain Coe had hunch, and he came
over and unbuckled it to "Buck." II
must have sounded good, for the man
ager held up two fingers and thumt
as the signal, and in came Ballinge1
and out goes Roye.
The first ball Ballinger threw, Brock
EFT caught it square, and, while he wa
put out as first, it brought in Letheb,
with the tieing run and put Cornelisol
ON third. Lake laced the ball down
Linholm and the youth threw it t
first letting Cornelison in with the win
ming run. Lake going out at first.
The Lead Call gives the followin
interesting account of the games play
ed at Deadwood:
The Hot Springs baseball team cam
up to Deadwood Saturday for the pu1
pose of indulging in two games wit
the down. gulch aggregation. On Sal
urday afternoon they met. and it re
suited in sad defeat for the boy
from the hot water city. Yesterda

Effect. o, tn. Lat. Frost.

The cold snap of last Friday
night did not do the expected
damage Crowley's Fairview
orchards suffered the most of any
in this portion OF the valley, being
more advanced because OF the
higher location.
The ground did not freeze, the
low temperature seeming to come
from cold winds above the surface.
Mr.. Crowley estimates that per-
haps 90 per cent OF the Ben Davis
and Missouri Pippins blossoms
have been killed. The Wine Sap
was not hurt. Other varieties OF
apples suffered loss of so per
cent of the bloom. In considering
these figures it should be remem-
bered that the amount OF blossom
on the apple trees was the largest
for many years and that which
remains will make fair crop.
Other orchards in the immediate
vicinity of Rocky Ford and many
other localities received but slight
injury and there is going to be an
abundance OF fruit, even OF
peaches. Plums and cherries and
other small fruits were almost un.
injured.-Rocky Ford Enterprise.

he controlled the anthracite strike

His actions, too have changed.
AMI his feelings likewise. He has
lost that glow OF refinement. the
love of his cause that was once so
marked.
His nature has coarsened. The
heavy, sensual development of the
