A Vigorous Kick

Will the citizens tamely submit to
being hauled through the mire and
filth OF the barn yard? Will they en-.
dure the treatment they received last
Saturday at the hands OF the North.
Western Railway Company?
That special train was ours to go to
DeSmet and back with and, when we
learned that it was the intention OF
the Railway Company to pick up stock
cars on the way home we had a right
to refuse to let them do it. We had a
right, if it were necessary to prevent
our being brought home as cattle on
stock train, to bind the conductor
and engineer hand and foot and run
the train ourselves. But we did moth
ing Of the kind. We quietly sub.
mitted to be treated as cattle. II we
make no protest We may expect fur.
ther treatment of the same kind for,
the company will, naturally, think we
do not know better.
1t will require more than an apology
to make amends for the outrageous
insult offered the citizens OF Brookings.

Mr.. Wellman has been a volumi-

and popular periodicals.. On returning
from his arctic trips he renewed his
connection with the Record Herald,
and is now the Washington cores
pondent of that paper. His incisive
discussion of contemporary affairs
has given him high place in the re-
gard of statesmen and scientists of
the day.

NV Friend From Arkansaww

1t will be a bit strange if the beasautl'
full Comedy drama, "My Friend fl from
Arkansaw", as presented by Rolobert
Sherman, excellent company of plaayers
does not become as popular as "FWay
Down East" The play has proroven
decidedly interesting and it is a pleleas'
ure to note that the public tastete IN
affairs of the theatre are again TURNING
to good wholesome plays that tell
coherent stories as does "My Frieiend
from Arkansaw." The above pplay
will be seen at the opera house Thurs
day, August 10th.

RUNS HIGH
Brookings Reds Win First Place at
De Smet Tournament


That Base ball enthusiasm in
Brookings has been pushed to the
highest notch this season was fully
demonstrated last Saturday when a
hundred and fifty OF our citizens char
tered special train, and taking the
band, proceeded to De Smet to en-
thuse the "Reds" in their game with
Faulkton.
A two days. ball tournament was on
at DeSmet participated in by Water
town, Madison, Faulkton and Brook
ings. On Friday Brookings met and
and defeated Madison, and Watertown
was done up by Faulkton. The
"Brookings Reds" expected to run up
against Watertowp again but in this
they were disappointed for as Water
town went down, the "Reds" went up,
and when Watertown reached the
bottom Brookings was at the top, and
at no time were within touching dis
tance.
On Saturday forenoon Watertown
went down before the Madison team to
fourth and last place. In the after
noon Brookings went up against
Faulkton and very pretty game was
played. Faulkton made their only
score in the fourth inning but they
held the "Reds" down to one score in
the fifth, one in the eighth, and one
in the ninth.
When the Brookings special rolled
into DeSmet enthusiasm was running
high and the crowd quickly formed
into line and headed by the band of
eighteen marched through town to the
ball ground. The DeSmet people were
as surprised at this demonstration as
Brookings was when Watertown struck
this town on Thursday, but fortunate
ly it did not terminate so disastrously
to the visitors and the circumstances
were somewhat different-Brookings
did not bring their umpire with them
and we have not heard that any money
proposition was made to him "if
Brookings won."
Everything was in Brookings' favor,
and it was a merry, happy crowd that
boarded the special promptly at seven
O'Clock for the return home. 1t was
expected that the run back would be
made with about the same schedule as
when the train went up but in this
they were disappointed. A long
wait was made before starting and at
each succeeding station car load of
hogs was picked up and added to the
special, and had it not been a jolly,
good feeling crowd the Northwestern
would have come in for some good
hard cussing. AS it was, our good
natured station agent had to stand for
considerable jollying over the "hog
special"
That someone had blundered is
quite evident. Brookings people paid
their money for train and had the
right to expect a service they did not
get and to be brought home like
lot of cattle was rubbing it in"
The coach containing the ladies and
which was filled from end to end with
excursionists was not even lighted.
We do not know who was responsible
for this "hog train" but we cannot
believe those high in authority would
countenance such treatment OF their
patrons, and we believe when it be-
comes known at headquarters some
one will be held accountable.

He was at the town depot and saw a

the latter that he was making mis-

furnish him the same or better goods
just as cheap and the profit would be
kept at home. ''But," said the farm
