The County Loses

Parker Press Leader: According
to a decree entered recently by Judge
d. G.. Smith Turner county will be
forced to return to various cities and
independent school districts several
dollars. The county treas
urers have been charging 4 per cent
commission on collections of taxes
for cities and Independent districts
and turning this into the county gen
eral fund. 1t develops that the
legal commission is 1 per cent in the
cases above mentioned and the coun-
ty will be forced to pay back the
three per cent over charge. The city
.of Parker will receive $1,000 and
this Independent school district ST.
616.26; C%enterville City and school
district, $1,000; Hurley, 500 and
Viborg 5000; making the total re-
fund due from the county to these
various towns s%7,21G.76. AS this
amount will necessarily be drawn
from the general fund a slight in
crease in taxes will be made next
year.

Cake. and Sausage. In Germany


Germany is the land of variety in
sausages and cakes,' said William
George Bruce. when / made my visit
to that country recently I took occa-
sion to eat at restaurants in practical
~ every city l came to. l am not
stretching it a bit when l say that In
one restaurant in Dresden there were
200 varieties Of sausages on the bill Of
fare.
"The same holds good Of cakes. You
enter a restaurant or a bakery in which
coffee is served. The obliging waiter
Will set before you a specially designed
cake holder IN which the several va
rieties are placed in convenient tiers,
SO that you pick out any kind you
want without disarranging the whole.
There is another feature of restau-
rant customs in Germany that struck
me as out Of the ordinary. While per-
haps a dozen cakes are set before you
to choose from, you only pay for the
exact number you eat. When you are
done with your luncheon the waiter
Will count up what is remaining and
charge you for the difference."-MlL-
waukee Sentinel.

Water-loving Cat

A tabby tomcat which | have rear
ed from a kitten and which is now
nearly three years old, possesses
more amicable characteristics and
paradoxical p%eculiarities than l have
ever known a cat to have before, and
l loved cats all my life. He bathes
like a seal, having taught himself
in a sponge bath when about three
months old, and thoroughly enjoys a
romp with my big Labrador dog af-
terward to get dry.
He is a perfect demon for hedgling
birds, walking all over the front of
the ivy-clad house and hooking them
from their nests, very often pouch
ing fourteen a day. Yet he lies in the
dining-room where a goldfinch, a sis
kin and a linnet fly backward and
forward continuously, often brushing
close past his head. and of them he
never takes the slightest notice.
AS l write he is mothering a be-
lated chick which was extracted from
its she'll by ourselves this morning,
the hen having left the nest with
twelve others. 1t is smuggling be-
tween the cats hind legs and peep
ing out between them most comical-
ly. l must add that this cat has
never been beaten, or trained in any
way except by a quiet word.-Lon-
don Spectator.

MANY FARMERS INSTITUTE
Superintendent Chamberlain Has
Been Successful in Interesting
the
the Farmers.

Supt. A.. Il. Chamberlain has filed
with the Farmers Institute Board
his report OF farmers intitute work
during the past year and from it we
gather some interesting items. There
were held l3l days regular institutes
in the state during the fiscal year
ending June Both, 1907. with $50
regular sessions and a total attend
ance of a little over 5000, giving
the total number present at each
session and adding all together as is
the rule of the National Institute
Association. The attendance the
past year was a little more than two
and a half times as large as the
year previous. In addition to
the regular institute work, Prof.
P. G. 'ioIden held three large corn
meetiup, in the state, the expenses
OF his services being paid by the
counties 10 which the meetings
were held.
The personal expenses of the
superintendent and the postage
necessary in organizing the corn
growers association and holding the
corn school aud show at Mitchell last
winter, were also paid from this
fund. All Of the other expenses and
the premiums were paid by conLrl-
button OF the citizens of Mitchell.
Over $500 cloths for testing seed corn
we're distributed free to the farmers
OF the state and reports have been
received from very many who used
them. The total expenses Of the
institute work, except only Prof.
Holden's services, we're as follows:
Paid Superintendent and lecturers,
s2956.65; travelling and other ex-
penses, 1883. 76; 1000 seed corn
testing cloths, S130.17 printing,
stationary and postage, $780, IS, max
log a total Of s4999.9 "a
A series of Institutes will be held
in the Black Hills commencing Sept.
18th. In November a series of meet
ings will be held In the newly settled
portion west of the Missouri River,
and the regular institute work will
begin the first week in December.
Supt. Chamberlain is COW at work
trying to create interest In an exhi-
bition OF corn from this state at the
National Corn Exposition to be held
In Chicago October $40. He is an
xious to hear from all parties who
will furnish some corn for this
exposition, and will be pleased to
answer any Inquiries concerning
premiums. S5S5.Oo has been set
apart for premiums for South Dako-
ia alone, besides 5000 open tc

TAKE up FREIGHT RATES
Board of Railroad Commissioners
Will Meet IN Sioux Falls to
Discuss Rates.

Sioux Falls, Aug. l2.-The regular
meeting Of the state board Of rail-
road commissioners, which will be
held III this city on the 29th Of
August will be one Of considerable
Importance. At this meeting repre-
s%entatives OF the various railways
operating in this state will appear
before the board in the interest of
their respective railways on the
question Of reduction OF passenger
rates.
The secretary OF the board, W. II.
Stanley, has just served notices to
attend upon the twenty-one railway
companies doing business in this
state. These notices state tue pur-
pose OF the meeting to be consider
alton Of the 2a cent fare recently
authorized by the state legislature
and call upon the railways to appear
by representation with such 1ocu-
ments and information as they may
care to present before the board for
consideration in connection with the
matter.
The notices state that the board
will meet to consider the reduction
Of freight and passenger rates, but
it is understood that the present
freight rates will not be altered as a
result OF any action taken at this
meeting. The advice is a form Of
legal procedure that is necessary in
the premises.
The business men and jobbers of
South Dakota are more interested
in the freight rates than in
the passenger fares. The latter
O not bother them greatly. But the
immense majority, the u%nthinking
public that reads only what is pre-
sented Immediately before it's eys, is
watching the passenger fare closely.
DR.. W. G. Smith has been dele
gated by the board to represent that
body at the hearing OF the interstate
commerce commission that will be
held at Lead on the Goth of this
month. This hearing CT the national

KNIGHTS vs.. KNIGHTS
Pythians and Columbians Met Friday
on a Redhot Diamond and
Had Hard Fight.

Seven innings OF baseball was
enough for the Knights Of Pythias
and Knights Of Columbus to battle
Friday afternoon with the thermom-
otter 81 in the shade and a hard wind
blowing from the south, which had
the effect Of making throwing
rather difficult for the catchers and
Ia batting long hits to the field. The
felders were more or less discomfort
ed by having the wind carry the
ball away FROM them despite their SUI
preme effort to get under 1t.
The two lodes were playing for
sweet charity's sake. the Carnegie
library being the beneficiary, and
at that not very many braved the
heat and Wind Of the day to 70 out
to the fair grounds, where the game
was played.
The following is the line up of the
two teams, and there is a marked
difference between that published
and the way the clubs appeared:
Pythians-Herman, pitcher; Tan
ner, catcher; o. L. Branson, first,
j. e. Wells, second; y. B. Wells,
third; Ray Branson, shortstop;
Scallin, left field; Smith, center;
Klousia, right field.
Columoians-Johnston and Eher-
hart, pitchers; Flynn, catcher;
Ryan, first; Lahey, second; Dick
WEIGH, third; Roach, shortstop;
Coughlin, left field; Lou WEIGH,
center; Scott, right.
The Pythians went to bat first and
started things lively by making three
scores in che first inning. Jim Wells
and Mayor Branson, two Of the old
timers, got to first and after they
had succeeded In progressing a base
each, Scallin sent a stinger out past
third ..and with the aid Of a wild
heave to first both scored. Ray
Branson was given a pass to first and
Herman hit to center, scoring Bran
son.
The Knights Of Columbus came
right back at the Pythians with four
scores in their half. Eherhart sent
up a fly in the diamond and Wells.

Fifth Grade of the City Schools
Next Year.

A meeting OF the board Of educa-
ton was held Saturday evening at
which the question of filling the
vacancy in the fifth grade, caused
by the resignation OF Miss Pearl
Jackson. Miss Cooper, OF Mt. Yer
non, vas elected but she declined to
leave Mt. Vernon, for another year,
and another teacher had to be
secured. Miss Mae Lewis, of this
city, was strongly recommended as
a very capable and competent teacher
for the grade ana. the board employed
her. She has been teaching at
LOOMS and was re-engaged for an
other year. She has had considerable
experience In the work and it is
thought will meet the requirements
OF the board
In view Of the opening OF the new
school building ON the east side or
town. the board took advantage of
II opportunity now to secure a
teacher for a room in that building.
Miss Butterfield, Of this city. was
employed to have charge of the
department.. She will teach elsewhere
Until the building is completed and
then commence her work.
The board also filled the remaining
positions OF janitors, employing
Paul Stowell for the east side and
Warren Wells and W. S. Reeser for
the west side high school building.
Il. b. Rogers has the Whittier school
on the west side and G.. w. Caster

$4,000 IN BRIDGES
County Commissioners Viii Spend
That Amount in Buildings
Bridges in the County.

The county commissioners took
official action Monday afternoon rel
alive to building Of new bridges in
various parts OF the county. Appli-
cations have been on file with the
commissioners for new bridges and
after an Investigation of the sur
roundings to ascertain the necessity
for them the commissioners decided
to build six new ones In as many
townships.
/. Plans and specifications were SUBJ
mitted by Fred Bjodstrop, OF this
city and the Iowa Bridge Co., and
after both had been gone over
thoroughly the commissioners decid-
ed to accept the plans Of Mr.. Bjod-
strop. Several OF the companies
made objection to bidding on the
plans OF MIR. Bjodstrop because of the
heavy material that he calls for to
make the bridges strong and safe, an
objection which the commissioners
evidently thought was a good one.
The bids for building the bridges
were opened during the afternoon
and the contracts were awarded as
follows: Fred Bjodstrop building a
60-foot bridge in Badger township,
Sl,157; Iowa Bridge Co., a 96-foot
In Prosper township, 2,4S0; a g.
foot steel bridge IN Rome township,
$50; a steel pile bridge In Tobir
township, $40; a 20-foot pile bridge
In Baker township, s145; a 7O-foot
wood pile bridge in Union township.
1915.
The additional bridges required in
the county means that the rura.
sections are being settled up faster
and that distances must be cut down
to towns by reason of the settlers
moving into territory that heretofore
has not been occupied. The exac,
amount to be expended by the comfy
in these new structures is 81, 937.

one on which EherharJ scored and
then Lahey came to the front, when
he met the ball squarely on the noes
and brought in Roach and Johnston,
while LaheY landed on second. He
stole third and then came home on
a wild heave to catch him there.
There was JOY In the camp Of the
discoveries and they were one run to
the good.
In the second inning the Pythians
scored twice when Tanner walked
and klousia was hit by the picther,
Tanner scoring later on a passed ball
and klousia coming in on a hit by
Smith through the infield. This
gave the Pythians a lead that was
not overcome. In their half the
discoveries Were unable to score aud
retired in one, two, three order.
In the third the Pythians were
sent to the grass just as quickly and
Roach was given a Glance to make
two star catches. Ray Branson
famed, and Herman and Ora Wells
sent Roach a couple of liners that
he handled like a veteran. In their
half the Columbians had a good
opportunity to take the lead. Roach
walked, Johnston hit safely and
Flynn was given a pass. Lahey came
to bat ana he looke7 an over The
field for a safe place to drive the
ball for three bases. Zounds! Lahey
famed. Scott hit to the pitcher
and forcing Roach at home. Flynn
tried the squeeze play to give Johns
ton a chance to run home, but it
failed to work and Johnston was out
at home.
In the fourth the Pythians scored
four more runs by Wild throws after
the men had got on the Eases, Tan
ner, Klousia, Smith and Jim Wells

In the seventh the Pythians got
enough run to make their total ID,
and the Columbians got Scott across
the plate. making their total 8,
which was the final score, with the
Pythians the winners.
Elmer Stenwall umpired the game
In d stentorian voice and his de-
cisions were uniformly fair.
Will Scalliin made the star catch
Of the day by running away over
the foul line and landing with the
ball in Lis mitt. Jim Wells got the
glad hand In the last inning when
he caught Lahey at second with the
ball In his left hand, and again by
