A HOT GAME.
Team Again Defeats Miles
City-lt Was Easy.

From Mondays Daily.
The Billings baseball team yester-
day afternoon took the third straight
game from Miles City by the score of
five to one, making three victories
out of four games played with the
Custer county team this season. The
visitors put a vastly superior article
of ball yesterday to what they did a
week before at home, and the contest
was exciting throughout.
Miles City opened the fireworks in
the first inning when they scored their
first, last and only run. Billings ran
in two the same inning, and the score
stood in this position until near the
close of the game, when Billings piled
up three more.
King was in his usual perfect form
and held the visitors down ito very
few scattered hits. Hart for Miles
also pitched an excellent game, though
he was hit rather freely at times and
his support was vastly inferior to that
given King. A beautiful three-base hit
by Quigley, a snappy double play by
Egan and Watkins the latters ac-
ceptance of several difficult chances,
and backward running catch of a
short fly by Egan were some of the
features of the game. The attendance
was good and the crowd was very en-
thusiastic. The "rooting" was of the
kind that delights the heart of the
man who wears the uniform.
The lineup of the local team was
as follows: Watkins, End; Egan S. s.;
Sickler, list; Dwyer 3rd; Jones and
Mcqueen, c. f.; Platt, c.; Wilson, |. f.;
Quigley, n. f.; King, p.; Carroll, sub.
Next Sunday and Monday Billings
will play the famous team from Sheri-
day, which holds the championship of
Wyoming and is now making a tour
Through Nebraska. That the games
will be redhot goes without saying,
and as Monday is Labor day, a large
crowd will doubtless turn out to wit
ness both games.
An effort is being made to get an
excursion for the Red Lodge team ito
come down September 10, and the
Fargo team of the Northern league
will play here September IA.

RUSSIA REPORTS INCREASE IN
AGRARIAN TROUBLES.
MOBILES HARD DEALT WITH
Forced to Sign Untrue Statements
on Penalty of Death-Serious
Conflicts Ensue.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 28.-There is
greatly increased agrarian agitation
in various parts of the country, not
ably in the Caucasus, where there
have been serious disturbances. In
the Gori district the peasants are
forcing the mobiles, under the menace
of death, to announce to the news
papers that they are handing over
their holdings to the peasants freely,
or are accepting one-tenth, instead
of one-quarter of the crop yield.
The refusal of the peasants in the
village of Inchadedshan to pay Prince
Inukshansky the proportion of the
crop to which he was entitled led to
a serious conflict between the peas
ants and cossacks. The cossacks
fired on the peasants, killing and
wounding, according to official ac-
count, 10, and according to unofficial
account, 70. Peasants from the noun
tains came to the assistance of the
villagers, resulting in fresh conflicts,
in which one cossack was killed.
Prince Inukshansky himself had a
narrow escape from shots fired at
him.

Request to the Council.

The following was adopted for pre-
sentation to the mayor and city coun-
Gil at the next meeting of that body:
Whereas, 1t is apparent to any citi-
zen of the city of Billings that the
provisions of chapter IS, entitled 'Nui-
sances,' is being daily violated by dl-
vers citizens of the town, probobly
not maliciously or willingly, but
through carelessness, especially with
reference to sections 1, 2, 8, and B;
and,
sWhereas, We are advised that the
city council has at different times
called attention of the officers to the
violations of these provisions of the
ordinances, and has repeatedly sought
to have the ordinances enforced by
the proper officers; but, believing that
the officers, through neglect or dnetl-
cheney. or want of proper comprehen-
sion of the ordinances and OF their
duties with reference Ito their enforce
ment, have failed to- enforce the ordi-
nances: and,
Whereas, We believe that the may
or should instruct the proper officers
to Immediately proceed to more
rigid enforcement of the ordinances
referred to.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That 1T
is the sense of this league that the
mayor and council are respectfully
and earnestly requested to call the
attention of the proper officers to the
evils and menaces to the health of the
citizens of Billings by reason OF the
conditions hereinbefore referred to-,
and the mayor is requested to in
struct the proper officers to at once
proceed to the enforcement of the pro-
visions of the ordinances entitled
'Nnisances,' to the end that the city
may be put in sanitary condition as
speedily as possible, and we res
fully call attention to the foll~ .ns

For Secretary of State.

There's an old warrior of the sixties
in Anderson and a red shirt rider of '76
who could have been elected secretary
of state in 1904 but who, because he
was a generous man, did not run. He
is now a member Of the Legislature and
In Laurens, for he is a native and a
veteran Of Laurens, they call him
INIT" Tribble. Col. Tribble ought to
be a candidate for secretary of state in
1906 because he should give the people
of South Carolina an opportunity to
show their appreciation of his high
minded conduct in 1904.
Col, M. p. Tribble could have been
elected last year. He filed his pledge
and a few days later withdrew from
the race solely because he was
led to believe that his opponent,
Mr.. CAN'T, was too ill to make
the campaign. Any informed man viii
admit that had Mr.. Tribble remained ir
the race, he would have been elected
We know and we assert that he would
not run because he was persuaded that
Mr.. CAN'T, whose administration hat
been criticized, was not PHYSICAL,
strong enough TO defend himself on che
stump.
THE ADVERTISER is for Tribble. SO
we believe is all Laurens.

No Hats in Church.

S~partanburg, May 8.-Pastor L.. M.
Roper, of the First Baptist church, at
the morning hour of worship Sunday,
announced to his congregation that he
had an innovation to suggest that at
evening services the ladies should APP
pear without their hats or bonnets.
Frequently, as he stated, an attractive
bonnet creation hid the faces of inter
ested spectators from the minister, and
that as this custom had been intro
duced at the leading Methodist church
of Canton, o.. and worked satisfac-
torily, it would not be a departure
from all the standards. The suggestion
was acted or at the evening hour of
worship Sunday, and one of the largest
congregations assembled at the church,
the women folks not wearing their
hats. The effect seems pleasing and
there is no opposition, and it is safe to
surmise that the innovation will become
a custom. - S~partanburg cor. Green

Mr.. MiiIiSen's Attitude.

The following interview with Mr.. S.
M. Milliken vas printed in the News
and Courier last Wednesday, having
been obtained by it's New York cores
pondent, and it shows Mr.. Miliken's
attitude:
Seth M. Milliken, head of the firm of
Deering, Milliken & Co., in this city,
when his attention was called to the
reports current in Charleston last night,
said that his firm had acquired large
blocks of the Laurens Cotton Mill
Mill Compapy's stock, but that he was
not in a position to state whether or
not q controlling interest had been Sc
cured, for the reason that he had as
yet no precise information to the num-
Der of shares his representatives had
been able to buy in.
1.-THE entire capital stock Of the con-
Germ" said Mr.. Milliken, is $3.50, 900.
and the market value of the shares is
about $160. We paid more for some Of
tee stock, but the price was not above
what would be called a fair figure"
MIR. Milliken said his firm had no in
tention of taking direct charge of the
ness through subsidiary management.
will Mr.. Lucas be deposed as presi-
dent?" Mr.. Milliken was asked.
II cannot tell whether we have the
control; if we have, he most assuredly
will" was MI. Milliken's reply.
Mr.. Milliken minated that in his
opinion Mr.. Lucas had acted arbitrarily
and from personal reasons in with
drawing the mills business from his
firm.
1--WE were asked to believe that the
firm of Stevenson & Co., which had
got the business we had done, at a rate
of three and four per cent. had offered
to handle it for two per cent. l never
put any stock in that, and l don't now."
