game last week he had two three baggers
and in another a home run and a single.
The Fall River Globe of Friday. under the
heading ION the Side Lines" contained
the following notes:
"Guiheen's clout far over left field fence
was peach and most timely. The cap
tain was there with the goods all the
way"
In the fifth, with men on second and
third and one out, Spooner hit a high one
short of first base. Birmingham made a
stab and the ball bounded out of his
hands. Guiheen was close by and nailed
the ball as ii was dropping Walking
leisurely back toward his position he
whipped the ball over to Bowcock and
caught Lawrence asleep off third. The
play probably saved the day right there"
Funny, is it not?" said base ball

SECRECY FROM JAPs.
Naval Officers Have First Lesson in

Naval Officers Have First Lesson in;
Mystery at Joint War Exercises.
Washington, D. c., June 22.-President
Roosevelt has been profoundly impressed
by the success of the japanese in Keeping
the outside world in ignorance of their
naval policies and tactics. Talking with
American naval officers he has comment
ed on the success of the Japanese in this
respect, and word has gone forth that
nothing would please the chief executive
better than for the officers Of this navy
to emulate the Japs. .LaXity of speech in
discussing the ships, equipments and plans
is to be forbidden.
The first lesson in the art of enshroud-
ing in cloak Of mystery all facts con-
nected with our warships was adminis-
tered to officers in Admiral Dickens
fleet that attacked the defenses of Bal
timore and Washington. The strictest
secrecy prevailed. Secretary Morton re-
fused all applications from newspapers
for permission to station reporters on
the vessels of Admiral Dickens fleet.
The freedom that has always been
permitted in the public inspection of
American warships, navy yards, and
naval stations has lately come to be
a cause of some worry on the part of
conservative officers of the service.
They think 1t is a big mistake to take
the world into cur confidence in regard
to these and other important war mat
ters. The Japs have opened their eyes
to the advantage of an opposite policy
little brown men pursued during their
war with Russia. One of the direct
results of the caution of the Japanese
is the movement to get rid of all Japa-
nese sailors and mess boys now in the
United States navy.

Huron, S. D., June 27.-Heavy rains
have covered this portion of the state
at brief intervals during the past two
weeks. Yhe total precipitation so far
for the month is almost four inches,
and quite generally distributed over the
entire Jim river valley. Reports con-
cerning crops are of the very BEST
from every direction come statements
of phenomenal growth of wheat and
other small grain. All stand unusually
heavy on the ground and rye, barley
and oats are fast maturing in many
fields. The abundant moisture and
heavy growth of head gives rise to
fears that should wind occur much

preparing for harvest by engaging help
and machinery: there is likely to be, as
IN former years, a scarcity of reliable
help during the harvest season. Corn

ship.

Sioux Falls. s. D.. June 26.-Public at
tention continues to be directed to the
matrimonial difficulties of DIR. Frank A.
Coulter, prominent physician Of Oma-
ha. who some months ago became a
member of the local divorce colony
The kidnapping by DR.. Coulter Of his
Two girls was recent sensational
episode in connection With the case. Dr.
Coulter called at the school house in
pupils. and represented that he wished
to take them out to lunch.
From what can be learned the kid
naped children are being kept at Cam
ton. twenty miles south of Sioux Falls,
their nearness to Sioux Falls enabling
the father to see them frequently. Since
the kidnapping Mrs. Coulter has re-
ceived a letter from Roberta. the
youngest of the two girls. The letter
Was postmarked Sioux Falls, but was
dated at some other place, the name Of
which was unintelligibly written.
1t is fully believed here that this con-
firms the opinion that the children are
De1ng secreted at Canton, and that DR..
Coulter, on his return to Sioux Falls
from visit With them, mailed the let
ter IN this city with the object of hood
W1nklng Mrs. Coulter and the Omaha
authorities. The Coulter case will be
counted one of the most bitterly con-.
eeetea III lne history OF the divorce
courts OF this or amy other state.
About year ago DR.. Coulter origi-
nally instituted an action for divorce
IN the court of Judge Day at Omaha
Mrs Coulter contested the action and
II was dismissed. DR.. Coulter then came
TO Sioux Falls. established residence
and in due time commenced divorce
proceedings. The case was set for trial
AT the last term of court but for some
reason was continued to the next term.
J it IS thought DR.. Coulter fearing that
the legality of his residence in Sioux
4f'alls and South Dakota would be uues-
3 ?ned, had the case continued to such
TX time as would enable him to cure
'sMeil defects as might exist in his Legal
Citizenship in South Dakota. He now

Pure FOOD Law
DOES NOT SUIT
Chicago Wholesale Houses OBJ.

StipuIations.
CONFER WITH GOVERNOR
The Label Clause, Requiring tho Name
of tho Manufacturer, Location Of
the Factory, ETC., Is the
Bone of Contention.

Pierre. S. D., June &c. z. New
ton, representing the firm of Reid, Muir
dock & Co., and other Chicago whole
sale houses. was in the city for con-
ference with Governor Erod in regard
to certain provision Of the pure food
law which goes into effect the FIRST Of
July. 1t appears that the trouble is
with the construction which z. w
Small, the state pure food commission
er, places ON section IL of the act. This
section is:
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
any article of prepared foods unless
the true name of the manufacturer
and the location of the factory where
such articles of food is prepared is
plainly printed or stenciled on the
packages, box, can, carton or other
container."
Commissioner Small construes this
strictly and demands that it be COM
piled with literally. The large whole
sale houses ask for slightly different
ruling. Their contention is that this
provision in it's intent is TO fix the re-
sponsibility where products not up to
standard are offered for sale. They
say the brands of their houses do this.
That they secure their products some
time from one factory and at other
times from another. That they take
the product of such factory and af11x
their brands on the packages. and that
in cases Of impure foods they are re-
sponsible That they have built up a
trade on their special brands, and that
to demand that the factory brand be
placed on the goods Will mean frequent
changes of labels and damage to the
trade they have built up on their
brands of goods. That the state will
gain nothing by a strict construction
of the law, and is amply protected by
n RI q ~ fInty fpt,x <la1, V,,sll
be compelled to stand back of any
product which they SO mark, regardless
of the particular factory which puts

THE LID is ON TIGHT.
Gambling Is to Be Stopped in tn.
Black Hills.

Deadwood, s. D., June 26.-Old timers
IN Lead and Deadwood are wondering
II they are hearing and seeing things
Alright. For nearly thirty years they
nave been accustomed to the wide open
saloon, with its crowd of miners and
pfospectors making life gay around the
gambling tables and bar. Now they see
the games of chance removed, screens
down from the windows of the saloons,
chairs and tables cleared out, and ali
seems new to the looker-on Some say
IT is a spasmodic reform movement OF
the anti-saloon people, which will last
month or so and then the 'lid will
come off"
But those who know how this reform
started here in the Black Hills are Of
the opinion that it has come to stay. In
the first place, the Anti-Saoon State
league is backing it to considerable
extent. Several months ago the presi-
dent of the state league came to the
Black Hills and spoke in every city and
camp against the evil conditions exist
ing. Sentiment began to grow in favor
or the anti-saloon league very apidly.
Inc flnal move came when States At
torney w. H. Parker of this city placed
forty warrants in the hands of the
Sheriff and ordered every gambling
place in Lawrence county to be closed.
The gamblers We're brought before the
justice of The peace and. each was bound
over under $500 bond. Their games We're
closed and most OF them have already
been packed and shipped to other fields.
The next move by the states attorney
Was to order the saloons in the county
to take down their screens from the
windows and comply with the state
liquor law in every respect. This, too,
has been done. Cigar store proprietors
We're also ordered to discontinue their
slot machines.
Just what the immediate effect will be
of all this change remains to be seen.
The majority of business men hale
the change with pleasure The miners
from outside camps who have for the
past twenty-nine years come to the
towns from "gru5-stake" will no longer
have the gambling tables to feed with
their money. The business men will
get the largest share and there will be
more money deposited in the banks.
This much all the business men con,

Persons Who Ran Gambling Machine

Ethan, S. D.. June 2s.-Friday the
sheriff of Douglas county came from
Armour to arrest three men who had
been detained here on Instructions
from that place received Saturday
night. The men in question We're mixed
up in some kind of a gambling scheme
at Armour during the f1remen's tourna-
ment held there last week and the sum
Of about $4,000 is said to have been
made way with. The men left on the
$3.50 train for Sioux City and were
promptly taken in custody at this place
and held until the arrival of the sheriff.
They were taken to Armour for exam
ination.
The continuous rains of the past
week and accompanying cold weather,
while causing all small grain to look
extremely WELL has prevented the
growth of corn and kept the farmers
out of the fields. Warm weather is
needed very much to bring the corn
