BEST THREE
OUT OF FIVE
"Reds" Win Two Straight Games
from Volea

The game at Nolga on Saturday was
a cross between the Comedy OF Errors
and fight of the celebrated Kilkenny
cats. In the first place the umpire
was incompetent through ignorance OF
the game and inability to tell ball
from a strike. In this latter regard he
was impartial, though in his base
decisions he certainly gave Cruikshank
the very worst OF it. In the fourth
inning Charlie Phyle gave out after
being hit for three singles and a two
bagger. His arm was in bad shape
before the game and he had begged to
be excused, but was put in neverthe-
less. He was relieved by his brother
Jack, whose illegal cross fire puzzled
our boys quite a little. In the eighth
inning Charlie Phyle dislocated his
shoulder throwing a ball from second
base to first. He was attended by DR..
Tenant who took him off the grounds
and patched him up. He will be out
of the game for some time, if not for
the whole season. This is hard luck
for a hard working, conscientious
player. He certainly has the sympathy
of all the players and fans. Brookings
was lucky in their hitting and with
sharp fielding game they played had
little difficulty in beating Nolga. The
Volga boys did not play with their
accustomed vim and at the bat were
unusually weak. Rife pitched heady
game, always having the game under
control, excepting brief respite in
the fourth inning, when a base on
balls and three errors gave Nolga their
only chance. The following is the
score of Saturdays game:

Better Than Ever

That is the verdict of every person who
has witnessed performance of Camp
bell Brothers great consolidated shows.
Always good, but this year with many
added new features, the performance
is in every way the equal of any show
upon the road, and in keeping with
the policy Of these well known circus
managers ever since the first organiza-
ton OF this famous amusement enter
prise.
Starting in small way over fifteen
years ago they have steadily advanced
until at the present time it is second
to none. Cleanly conducted, with no
fakirs or grafters, Campbell Brothers
consolidated shows has friends from
its infancy and each year sees the list
swelled until today the name is a SYM
onim for all that is good and honest
in the amusement world. They will
exhibit at Bookings, Thursday, June
18th, 1905.

GREENWOOD CEMETERY
Meeting of the Directors Notice to
Lot Owners

At meeting of the board of direc-
tors OF Greenwood cemetery held May
30th, 1905, it was moved and car
ried that the building OF walks,
hedges, fences or mounds around the
the lots in this cemetery be prohibited
and that no lots shall be graded up
above the level Of the ground.
This resolution was passed for vari-
Gus reasons among which is that where
the lot is raised up it is much harder
to NOW the grass and the grass dies
out a great deal more, and it cannot
be kept green in dry weather. In re-
gard to fences and hedges it causes
large snow drifts in winter and makes
it very hard and difficult to find the
corner stones adjoining. The board
wishes to beautify the grounds as
much as possible with the limited
amount Of funds they have to use and
the REGISTER takes the liberty of sug-
costing that every lot holder be taxed
S1.00 per year in order that a fund
be raised to help defray the expense
of caring for the grounds in proper
manner.

oughly enjoyed. He discussed the
educational problem from the prac-
teal viewpoint OF man of science
and his speech was replete with sound
sense and wholesome ideas. He an
nounced himself an advocate of the
dread and butter" theory of educa-
tion and illustrated in various ways
the practical advantage the educated
man or woman has in the struggle
for existence. At the same time his
view of the matter was far from being
sordid and he took occasion to impress
upon the graduates the duty Of
altruism and service in life, leading
them finally to see that education
was after all but a means to a noble
end

MONDAYS GAME.
After loosing the game on their he

After loOsing the game on their home
ground Saturday, Nolga came over on
Monday fully determined to shut out
Brookings and a goodly number OF
spectators witnessed a lively game OF
ball.
Nelson, the Brookings pitcher, had
been playing in i'll luck, but he took
an extra hitch in his hamestraps and
held the game close in hand. Phyle
also did good work for Nolga. There
were some very close decisions and of
course the umpire came in for his
share Of the "discouraging" remarks
made during the game, but one side
Jared as well as the other in the
franks" and "raws."
The games now stand three out Of
five in favor of Brookings. Both teams
are playing good bali and among the
players there seems to be goodfellow-
ship. The following is the score Of
Mondays game:

GALA DAY
AT AURORA
An Immense Crowd Witness the
Sports Friday

An ideal day for outdoor sports and
and large number of visitors caused
Aurora's gala day to be a grand sue
cess in every particular.
During the forenoon White and
Aurora base ball teams played splen-
did game which resulted in favor of
White by score Of 6 to 1. So closely
were the teams matched that it required
twelve innings to decide which were
winners.
In the afternoon the crowd was
swelled by large delegation from this
city who were more or less interested
in the game of ball played by the
Brookings and Nolga teams. The
afternoon game was called at $50.
The following is the score of the
Brookings-Nolga game:

EXCURSION
TO BROOKINGS
North Western Line Will Run Ex-
cursions During commencement

Agent Leighty announces that the
Northwestern Railway will run ex-
cursions from Pierre and Yankton to
Brookings on the 18th inst, and from
Gettysburg, Groton and Aberdeen
June 18th. This will give citizens OF
the state a chance to visit this city,
inspect the Agricultural college and
attend the commencement exercises of
that institution. The rates are very
cheap and it is expected that large
number will avail themselves OF the
opportunity. Brookings wants to get
ready to entertain company and do it
properly.

THE SENIOR
CLASS PLAY
Graduates will Present "Merchant
of Venice"

The senior class play, presented by
the graduates of the 5. ID. A. C. this
year, will be on a more elaborate scale
than has heretofore been attempted by
students of the institution and will be
under the direction of Miss Maud
Vaughan, instructor in oratOry and
elocution. One of Shakespeare's mas
terpieces, "The Merchant of Venice" :"
will be produced with an excellent
cast. Elegant costumes have been pro-
cured and the play will be given at the
Grand Opera House with all the splen-
dor that beautiful costumes and fine
scenic accessries can lend to good
acting.
The class has decided to make a
nominal charge in order to assist in
defraying expenses incident to the fine
production contemplated, and for the
lease of the opera house, and it will be
well worth the price Of admission.
For many years the capacity OF the
college chapel has been taxed to its
utmost to accommodate those who
were desirous of attending the exer-
cises of commencement week, partic-
ularly those of the senior class, and
in many instances large numbers have
been turned away. This will be over
come by the use Of the more commod-
ious opera house which will give every
body the opportunity of gaining
admission and securing a comfortable
seat.
The following will be the cast of
characters:

 Pine Apple and vicinity are recover ing from the stress of excitement which the little town has undergone the past few days. The negro assailants of Prof. Claud Hardy. Will Ptomie and Ed Ptomie, are still evading the hunt ing parties and 1t Is still believed they are hiding in the Bear Creek swamps awaiting an opportunity to get out and escape across the Alabama River into neutral territory.
 That opportunity will never present itself to the fugitives. say the hunters The latter intend to watch the swamps until as a last resort one or both of the Ptomie negroes make a break for liberty.
 The hunters rested today, but left a number of scouts near the supposed whereabouts of the would-be murder CTS. Tomorrow morning one posse, pos sibly two, will renew the chase.
 From latest advices from the vicin- ity of Pine Apple, contributions to the reward for the capture of the Ptomies are still coming in and the amount is already large. The condition of Pro- lessor Hardy tonight is unchanged.
 Visitors from Pine Apple who came up on tonight's train say that the re- ward for the capture of the Ptomie brothers now exceeds $2O0.
