Carnival After.thOugllt

The carnival is a thing of the
past-we've seen all there was
to see, and what more can you
ask? The small boy has had his
fill of peanuts; the little girl has
done her share to dis pose of pink
lemonade; to say nothing of what
the older people did to make the
affair a success. We heard the
merry-go-round automatic organ
play "In the Good Old Summer
Time" and "Under the Bamb boo
Tree" We rode in the Ferris
wheel, saw the woman's leap tor
life and concluded to let her hold
her position so far as we were
concerned; and the man leap the
gap. The balloon went up, too.
and we saw that. Not feature
was missed. But 1t is all over.
We've cleaned the confetti out OF
our clothes and are busily en-.
gagged at hard work, incidentally
saving q few dimes and nickles
for the next affair that comes
along.

people of the community in which it is
located place where a spirit OF
reverence and devotion should
animate every attendant and inspire
the worship of God. In the evening

The ChautauOua

The opening days of the chautauqua
last week drew large attendance
and fine program was presented, the
attraction on the opening day being
Gov. LaFollette. of Wisconsin. who
held the large audience in the closest
attention as he told the story of his
political career and fight with the rail
road magnates of Wisconsin. The
rain the first of the week considerably
interfered with the attendance, but a
pleasing program was presented and
heartily enjoyed both on the fourth
and succeeding days.
Today Hebert S. Biglow's lecture
came on cause of Political Corrup-
tion and its Remedy and in the
evening d. w. Robertson's Projecto-
scope gives an entertainment of NOV.
ing pictures which is always fine
attraction. On Saturday, Quincy Lee
Morrow lectures and a new set OF
moving pictures will be presented.

MILBANK NINE WINS TWO
Games Out Of Three-WilmOt
Wins One Game.

In the series Of three ball
games played by Milbank against
outside teams during the carni.
val, Milbank won two. The first
game Thursday, was Milbank VS..
Wilmot, and was a good game
with the exception of the third
inning when Milbank' S in6elders
made several errors permitting
Wilmot to run in four scores.
Ziegler pitching to Adams, (for
Milbank) is entitled to the game
as his work was fine, as was the
playing of P. Saunders and Wier,
right and left field respectively.
The score was 8 to 10 in favor OF
the visitors.
The second game Friday was
between Milbank and Graceville
resulted in a score of 10 to 18 in
favor of the home team. The
work of Middlebrook, the former
high school pitcher, assisted by
every mem Der of the home team
was the feature of this game.
The Graceville boys made sever
al costly errors in the fourth and
seventh innings, that no amount
of good playing could help bal.
ance up the game in their favor.
The game with Revillo was one
for blood, the Revillo team EN-.
ployed a battery from Madison
But Notwithstanding this fact
Milbank won, and only after a
hard fought game. Ziegler did
the twirling for Milbank and
Adams caught, both doing fine
work. Each man on the Milbank
team played the game to win and
made few errors. The score
was 8 to 3 in favor of Milbank
The work of Saunders on first
and Ziedeman deserves much
credit.
Although the present Milbanh
team was recently organized and
have had but little practice, they
certainly have made a good rec
ord for themselves and deserve
the support of all lovers of the
game in this vicinity.

In Every Respect-Band Boys
Have Money in Treasury.


The T. I. Cash Carnival Co.,
arrived Thursday morning of
last week and by noon every
thing was in readiness and the
shows opened. The tents were
located along Main street and
cross streets. The free features,
slide for life, balloon ascension,
high dive and leaping the "death
chasm" on a bicycle were all good
and received the applause of all
who witnessed them. The paid
attractions seem to have given
general satisfaction to all. One
commendable thing was the
fact that there were no i'm moral
shows connected. with the con-
cern during it's exhibition.
The grafters and gamblers that
usually accompany these carni-
val shows, were conspicuous by
their absence, and the Cash com.
pany deserve a good deal of
credit for this. The people con-
nected with the show were not of
the drunken, riotous character
that distinguish many of the out
fits travelling as carnival COM
panies. It appears to be the en-
deavor of the managers to keep
the show as wholesome %
possible, and no trouble was
given the authorities by any of
the show people.
While the crowds on any day
were not very large the receipts
were good and the band boys,
under whose auspices the COM
pany came to Milbank, will add a
neat sum to the present surplus
in their treasury.

during the electrical storm that passed
over this locality at noon Wednesday

cost of four thousand dollars. Three
thousand dollars insurance was carried
on the burned building which will &C
part way towards erecting new
church.

ter for the machine and a shovel to
clear away the snow in front of the
wheels. Mr.. Moran was routed ont
of bed and gave the visitors q beauti-
full description of his feeling toward
automobiles and those who use them.
He declined to give water or shovel
and no amount of persuasion could
move him. The victims remained in
the machine until about in the
morning, when they found a Wales
citizen who was not so preiudiced.
They reached the village, but found
it necessary to get something to keep
the water in the machine from freez-
ing, and we're Obliged to telephone to
Palmer for it. It was sent as soon as
possible, and late in the afternoon Mr..
