A. JOYOUS GATHERING
Knights of the Grip Hold Second Annual
Meeting and Incorporate Their
Society Permanently

The second annual meeting of the
Black Hills Travelling Mems Associa-
tion was greatly enjoyed in Hot Springs
on the 18th, 14th and 18th inst. There
was an excellent attendance, many of
the travelling men being accompanied
by their wives. Besides the members
of the association they had number
of friends from along both lines of rail
roads who came to enjoy themselves
with their friends. On Friday mora
ing after Mayor Clark bade the asso-
citation hearty welcome to the city
the guests enjoyed swim in the
plunge bath. The remainder of the
day was devoted to business of the
association. The travelling men are in
cooperating under the laws of the state,
their charter declaring that they are
organizing for the purpose of forming
more fraternal spirit; to give moral
and material aid to the members and
those dependent upon them; to secure
from transportation companies and
hotels just and equitable favors, and to
elevate the moral and social standing
of the members. They are to make Hot
Springs their permanent headquarters.
The officers elected for the ensuing
year are as follows:
President, w. G. Caven, of Crawford;
vice president, I'll. L. Wood, of Hot
Springs; secretary, Fred Helm; treas
urer, Roy Swigeart.
Their ANIMALS meetings are to be the
last Friday and Saturday in May.
THEY PLAY BALL.
The travelling mems base ball game
was a success from every standpoint
and probably furnished more amuse-
ment than any game that will be called
this season. The first rule laid down
was strictly enforced, viz: that no one
be allowed to carry gun but the UNI
pire, and the second rule was to the
effect that anyone having kick COM
ing might kick the umpire, if he dared.
1t is needless to say the umpire came
out of the game in good shape-better,
doubtless, than some of those two
hundred and fifty pound players. The
game was called at about 1890 a. M,
Saturday, instead of 2:30 p. m. as per
program. This was no doubt due to
the fact that the Management of the
sLeans' was unable to hold them off
any longer. So when Umpire Sage
called time, the two opposing clubs
the 'Fats" and the "Leans"-promptly
took their places. Tho fat men went
to bat first and the way they knocked
that ball around and run those bases
fairly made this reporter dizzy. The
poor 'sLean" catcher, we are told, had
been playing ball for practice earlier
in the day and had met with an acci-
dent that made him quite timid about
getting in front Of flying ball. The
result was that he rarely stopped one,
and the fat men were running the bases
so fast that they hardly had time to
cool off between heats. After scoring
about six or seven the "Leans' got to
bat and the fat men took the field
Elmer D. Lesch occupied first base and
was easily the star of the two Mines
The way he could fall down all over a
ball and come up with it in his arms
and lap and put it to second or third
base just in time to stop lean, who
was just tlattering himself that he
could come home on walk, was a
caution.
The entire nine innings we're not

HOT SPRINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA. FRIDAY. MAY 90 1904

it was the fat men we're about six or
seven ahead, but it is only fair to the
leans to say that they were holding
their own after that first inning with
their crippled catcher, when they
changed catchers and played ball with
vim. The entire game was productive
of much fun and hard work, and was
much enjoyed by the players-and
more so by the spectators.
THE "LEANs'' WIN AT BOWLING,
At the bowling contest in the after
noon the Leans defeated the Fats by
score of 632 to Cos.
TIE DEVILS AUCTION.
We don't know why the travelling
men appropriated any such name as
the "Devil's Auction" for the auction,
as w. A. Green, of Omaha, was auc-
tioneer, and there didn't seem to be
anything about him that would make
such name appropriate. Each men,
Der Of the association contributed some
article from his house, which was
wrapped so that it could not be known
what it was. 1t was disposed of to the
highest bidder. These goods brought
something near $40, besides bushels of
fun. The money goes into the associa
ton treasury.
THE BALL.
Saturday evening the commercial
men and their ladies, together with a
number of citizens, greatly enjoyed the
ball at the Evans. 1t was delightful
social function. In one of the music
rooms large quantity of sandwiches
and generous punch bowl refreshed
the inner man and aided in making
this occasion one of great pleasure
Tho music by the local orchestra was
highly complimented and appreciated.
TO CHURCH SUNDAY.
Sundar morning the association went
in d body to the M. E. church, where
they helped fill the church to it's Mt
most and attentively listened to mag
nificent sermon by DIR. Norris and
excellent singing by the choir, the
special musical features being the
anthem singing by the choir and two
beautiful duets by Mrs. Hargens and
Mr.. Wood.
In the evening they attended services
at the Baptist church, where standing
room was almost at q premium. Rev.
Smock made an interesting address,
Miss Bradley singing sweet solo, and
the Lakotah quartet rendering an ex-
ceptionally pleasing selection, which
together with the choir singing made
the service altogether enjoyable.

FOR A CLUB HOUSE,
We are informed that some generous
friend has offered to donate two lots,
located near the plunge baths, to the
association, providing they will erect
a club house thereon within five years.
The matter has been referred to the
executive committee, and it is probable
that the proposition will be accepted
and activities begun soon for raising
a fund for building.

How Jap Soldiers Write.

The japanese government has
found a novel and excellent use
for post cards. Realizing that,
for various reasons, the soldier on
campaign may not have leisure
or opportunity to write home to
his family, the military authorities
have supplied to each army SUI
ficient number of post cards, al
ready printed, to which the sol
der has only to affix his name,
or, more exacrly, his seal, each
Japanese soldier carrying one with
him as a part of his outfit. On
all the cards the same message IS
printed: This is to let you
know that | am alive and well.
l cannot give you my address,
not knowing where | shall be to-
morrow; but your letters will
reach me some time or other if
you reply to the place the name
OF which is printed in the post
mark. Greetings to ny family
and friends"

Germany's Sunday Opening Law.

Germany has a Sunday opening
question which has recently been
settled by agreement between the
parties concerned. 1t seems that
the people from the country are
in the habit OF going to town on
Sunday to attend church, and
then do their shopping for the
week. The clerks objected to
working all day, so it has been ar
ranged that from Whitsuntide to
October 1 the stores shall be open
from II to 1 o'clock, and from
October 1 to Wnitsuntide from
II to 3 o'clock, and that the gro
Gerry and provision stores may be
open from s to 9 o'clock in the
morning as well. In Spain, on
the other hand, Sunday has re-
Gently been made day Of rest,
on which only necessary work
may be done. The new Spanish
law also forbids the employment
on that day of women and OF 9TH
er persons under Is years old.

Shirt Made Taft Regret.

1t is said that Brigadier Gener-
al Weston, commissary general
Of the army, IS responsible Tor
the order permitting army Off
GERS to wear civilian costume
while on duty in the war depart

Secretary of War Taft in one OF
the corridors and expressed his
gratitude on account Of the order.
General Weston had on a light
civilian coat, He threw II back
around his shoulders to display
the pingest negligee shirt that
ever adorned the person OF a gen
eral of the army. General
Weston" said Secretary Taft,

wou,l permit any officer to ex-
pose a shirt like that I'd never

Churches Built on Bridges.

The custom of ubilding churches
on bridges was common a hun
dred years and more ago. Severa'
of those quaint old buildings are
still left in Europe. The Chapei
of Our Lady still stands on the
bridge which spans the Don at
Rotterdam. The little chapel
was built in the nineteenth cent
ury and was restored about Ioc
years ago. For several years,
however, it has been used as a to
bacco shop.

Says the Senator Was One of the,
COuntry's Greatest Statesmen.

Says the senator Was One of the
Country's Greatest statesmen.
Albany. n. y. Feb 1G.--Goy. Odell
Monday 1elegraphed to Mrs. Marcus a.
Hanna an expression Of his sorrow and
sympathy with her in the death OF
Senator Hanna Afterward he said:
Senator Hanna was certainly one OF
the country's great men. and the ma
ton loses, in very true and wide
sense, even as do those who know the
senator personally The many who
did not come into personal contact
with him knew of his qualities and
achievements as a citizen and philaE-
thropist.
Il knew Senator Hanna somewhat
in the political relations of the first
Mckinley campaign. In the second
campaign came close to him and ac
quired sincere personal regard for
him. along with q great respect and
admiration for him as a man OF deep
resourcefulness and pleasing person
ality.
In q very true sense he was the
discovered of Mckinley, and to his
untiring and successful labors to place
Mckinley in the presidency the coun-
try owes a great obligation.
Senator Hanna was really great
political leader, and the republican
party, as we'll as the nation as a
whole. will miss his character and
services
