The band concerts and bowery dance
in the evening were features enjoyed
by large numbers of people.


TUESDAY THE NATAL DAY.
The glad and glorious Fourth was
1shered in bright and early by the us
ual salute. Large numbers of people
began crowding the streets early and
by ten o'clock the town was we'll filled
The parade was rather amusing-old
clothes, gunny sacks, etc, having evi-
IDENTIFY been gathered in for the occa-
sion.
FIRST LEAGUE GAME OF BASE BALL.
On the Fourth at ten-thirty in the
morning, the first league game of the
re. organized baseball league was
played on the local grounds between
belle Fourche and Hot Springs. Will
liams was in the box for the visitors
and Newmyer for the locals. The
Springs started off we'll and it looked
like walkaway. Diamond, the first
man up, hit the first ball pitched for a
home run over the left field fence. In
the second inning Herman struck out,
Diamond was given his base on balls,
and stole second and third. Garvey
hit safely, Gierhart was thrown out at
first Garvey taking second on the
throw. Peterson hit for two bases,
scoring Diamond and Garvey. The
Springs scored one more in the fourth
inning ON three singles, and one in the
eighth on Peterson's two hagger, a
base ON balls, hit by a pitched ball and
fielder's choice. For the visitors,
Daily, the first man up in the second
Tuttle muffed the third strike and in
stead of throwing the man out at first
threw the ball to the ground about
half way between home plate and first
Diamond was called in from left field
to catch, Tuttle taking his place. Kohl
stole second, went to third on passed
ball, and scored ON Garvey's error. In
the third inning Hays, the first man
up, hit for two bases, Daily struck out,
Kohl reached first ON tielder's choice,
Wiley hit safely scoring Hays. Mace y
also hit safely and when the smoke
cleared away three runs had come in.
In the fifth inning on two errors, Stein
scored. In the sixth on hit and an
error, one more run came in, and in
the eighth on two hits and a felder's
choice another run was scored. The
Belle Fourche team clearly outclassed
Hot Springs in this game. Their snap
and vim was characteristic of the team
and several times Williams got out of
a bad hole by the sharp fielding behind
him. In the ninth inning Williams
hit two men, Gierhart made single
and the side was retired by one-han-
ded catch by Kohl of Lussi's hit, which
had it gone by would have tied the
score.

THREE DAYS OF SPORT

Everybody Has "a Good Time During the
Three Days Celebration.-The
Program Carried Out.
Hot Springs began celebrating early
this year and kept it up late-begin-
ming Monday morning and continuing
day and night until Wednesday
night. There we're people from near
by towns and the surrounding country
each day, the Fourth especially being
big day.
Monday the band concerts were en-
loved and the ''broncho busting" was
great treat for all aud particularly for
those who had not witnessed such eX-
citement There were several entries,
among whom we're Brainard Robinson,
Lou Spencer and Aaberg. The Robin
son horse was in every way the worst,
doing some hard bucking, while the
others we're considered pretty tame.
But the Robinson horse got into ditch
and fell down, throwing the rider and
losing him the prize. Spencer won
first prize and Aaberg second. This
caused some discussion over broncho
riding and Al. Billups wagered five
dollars that he could ride the Robin
son horse. Not many thought he
could, but thut afternoon in the pres
ence of a gc0d sized crowd Billups
saddled up the same "outlaw" and got
on and rode TIL animal Off, all the same
AS an old work horse. The mornings
exercise had evidently tanned the
animal for the day at least. Another
wager was made that Spencer could
not ride the horse a week from that
time, and he will make the attempt on
the same grounds next Monday.
The creased pig catching contest
created some sport for the crowd, but
Jack Diamond happened along while
the kids were after the little porker
and caght him on the fly, just as
though he were playing base ball.
The swimming contest at the plunge
was won by Mr.. Smith, of Denver.

closed with glowing description of
the signing of the Declaration and an
appeal to his audience to cherish the
ideals therein set forth.
The first event in sports following
the patriotic exercises was the boys
100 yard foot race, for boys under 16
years of age. There we're several en-
tries, resulting in Elton Stanley win
ming first prize and Paul Richer second.
The sack race was won by Johnny
Mueller, second prize going to Harry
Deuel.. Ray Goddard had the prize
easy, but fell just before crossing the
line. He might have taken time to get
up and jump over the line properly,
but he didn't know the rules and rolled
over, thus losing the prize.
The potato race was won by the Nc
Coy boy, Darel Applegate getting Sec
ond prize.
In the mems foot race Jack Diamond
got first prize and Harry Crowell Sec

The egg race by girls was won by
Flora Barnes, second prize going to
Lille Sullivan.
r~~ Broadus and Young Bigger won
the human wheelbarrow race, Willie
Huebner and the Hester boy getting
second prize.
The tug of war was an interesting
test of physical strength between what
was termed the Sanitarium men and
quarry men, the former winning the
two tests made.
Jesse Spencer started in early to
climb the creased pole and stayed by
it faithfully throughout the day,
climbing little further and sanding
the pole each time, finally reaching the
top and winning the 50 along toward
evening.
The band concerts were again pleas
ant features of the evening. The fire
works were grand. there being many
elegant displays at private houses. The
display made by the city was very fine.
The dance at the pavilion continued
nearly all night.
Upon the Evans veranda there was
happy dancing party each evening.
The weather throughout was beauti-
full, even though Slight shower fell
on Tuesday and Wednesday-bu just
sufficient to lay the dust nicely.

WEDNESDAYS EVENTS.

The quarter mile running race was

money being won by Joe Korthaus.
The pony race was won by Fred
Williams, second by G. G. Dryden.
The novelty pony race was won by
Geo. Mower. second by Ed Marty.
The water contest was about the
most interesting feature of all. There
we're five men to side-designated as
the Water, Light 4 Power Co. boys and
the Sanitarium boys. The rules we're
to remain 80 feet feet apart and to
throw water for two periods of three
and two minutes each. At the signal
the full force of the water was turned
on and each side did its best to keep
the stream playing upon their antago-
nists-and they did it pretty effectively
most of the time, making it severe
struggle of endurance from the terri
BILE force of the streams. 1t was fun
for the spectators, but mighty wet

the first three minute contest. which
seemed much longer, both sides had
gotten about enough of it. and the

wEDNELDAY's GAME.
We played ball and yet we could not

hangs over the local team. Those who
attended the game of ball Wednesday

both teams, ball that woold rank we'll

Glove Chances,

There's sharp dividing line be-
tween gloves for evening and for
street wear.
Evening gloves have come out-like
aces--in the daintiest Of colors, In
stead Of the all-white or the all-black,
which were the rule last winter, says
the Philadelphia North American.
Even pale sea.greens-so soft and
clear as to suggest the green just un-
der white sea foam-are found to
match the sheer green laces and nets
that whole party frocks are made of.
Street gloves keep to their mascu.
line styles. Even the white gloves,
for theater, for calling, for half hun
dred purposes, are getting heavier,
and fasten with a single big button,

Coats Of All Descriptions.

Some of the long coats are really
Jyerskirts, while some of the skirts
have overskirt effect, and are COM
pleted with smart little coats. So
every woman can be suited according
10 her figure and her means. The
long coats are very smart, and many
women favor them for very cold
weather, but it is quite as possible to
be comfortable in the pretty small
coat, whose fascinating chic will sure
ly hold 1t in favor as the spring ad-
vances. If warmly interlined, and an
extra skirt Is adopted for outdoor
wear, the short coat will be found
quite as comfortable as long one. A
special feature of the new short coats
and blouses is the belt, which has a
perfectly fitted and feather-boned
lining on which the velvet or silk is
shirred, draped or plated; the small
coats show the waist line all around,
so the fastening of the belt is an i'm
portant matter; it must be invisible
and is, therefore, made decorative. In
the blouse coats the belts fasten with
fancy clasps or buckles and many odd
ad charming shapes are shown for this
purpose. The long plain buckle is
chosen for the simpler suits, and elab-
crate art nouveu clasps for the dressy
models.

squarins a House 10 the Street.

My house, 10 by IS feet, standing on
posts with the chimney in the center
is not square with the street and has
to be moved. The front part will have
to be moved 10 feet, and the rear part
4 feet.
The best way would be to first move
the house to the place and position
required. The house should be raised
six or eight inches higher than re-
quired, and after the stone wall is
built 1t can be lowered down on It,.
This makes a complete job. Place a
stick of timber across each corner of
the building, letting the ends rest on
blocking on the ground outside of the
wall and another timber on the post
in the cellar and under the sill to
block on outside; these last timbers
should be 8 and ~ feet from each cor

are removed and wall built up to stills

White Gloves Popular.

1t was observed at the horse show
that gloves, even with tailor gowns,
were almost invariably white, says the
New York Post. One would hardly
have suspected the existence of col
ored gloves; yet, once in a while n
glove matching the costume was en-
countered. Pale gray with a gray
gown was seen on several occasions.
White, however, is the favorite, and,
strictly speaking, is the only correct
glove except for rough wear. Both
suede and glace kid are correct The
long elbow glove worn with short
sleeves is generally suede. The So
called twenty-button glove is the most
popular of these, and 1t is allowed to
wrinkle on the arm in loose folds.

Revival of TulIe Toilet.

Report from Paris of the revival Of
tulle dancing gowns Is received with
approval on this side of the sea. 1t is
said that the voluminous tulle gown
is to be worn, skirt upon skirt of this
fllmsy fabric consumatlng the desired
effect Of foaminess.

CHAPTER TX.

1t was late in sultry, almost breeze

and his associates, dropped anchor in
the harbOr of Fort Royal, Martinique.

ysuch he could be termed; for it was
Jean Lafitte, returned recently from
a mission which will be referred to
more particularly later on, and who
had come from New Orleans for the
purpose of meeting Laro, whom he ex-
pected to find waiting at Fort Royal.
His search proved unavailing, al
though he ascertained that Laro HAD
been seen in the town; and after Wis
iting several of the places where he
was liable to be found, LATTE went
to an inn not far from the wharves,
and ordered supper.
Here he sat enjoying the GOODNESS,
while he slipped and smoked, when
there came to his ears the sound Of
a voice whose mellow resonance
thrilled him strangely, sending his
thoughts whirling into the past.
The air was yet vibrating with the
hearty tones as the speaker came
through the door; and lamp hanging
from the ceiling of the balcony
flashed its rays into the face of Gre.
loire
The recognition was not mutual;
for Greloire, after a careless glance
at the younger man, crossed the bal.
acony and seated himself near the rail.
LATTE was, for the moment, unde-
-cided as to what to do,-whether to
reveal his identity, and risk hearing
whatever comments Greloire might
make upon a name and career which
already had become known in two
continents, or to remain silent, and
thus forego this unlooked-for oppor-
tunity for knowing something definite
in regard to the man who was still
dear to him-he who was now Emper-
or Of France.

Jean, grasping Greloire's hand. This

accompanied by a tighter clasp Of
Laftte's slender fingers; "and trust
1t may not be the last, by many, Of
our meetings"
"Adieu, old comrade."

One final hand-clasp, and LATTE
turned away. But. after taking a few
steps, he faced about and went back
to Greloire, who stood as he had left

demanded, almost as if resenting an

"This, mon ami" was the slowly and
