SENATOR kITTREDGE COMES
South Dakota's Popular Senator viii
Deliver His Address on the
Panama Canal Oct. 81.

a few days ago the upper classmen
In the.high school conceived the idea
of organizing a society for manual
training purposes, and after con-
sultation with some Of the teachers
the Arts and Crafts Society was
born. The purpose is to encourage
manual training especially, and will
look toward better supervision OF
dlaWilly in the entile school system.
The society needs some tools and
has arranged for an entertainment
for Thursday night, Oct. 81, at
Which time the high school viii
render some choruses and Sen. A. B.
Kittridge will deliver his Panama
address.
This is a most worthy cause and
will encourage the right spirit among
the Students, and at the same time
will offer to the people OF Mitchell
this great lecture of Mr.. Kittredge's.
When the senator was here a few
days ago he was requested to fix
a date when he could appear before
the people Of Mitchell and name his
terms. He named the date above
mentioned and then added that
there would be no expense whatever
so far as he was concerned. This
will leave the revenue in the hands
of the society for the purchase OF
apparatus and tools.
The address will be given in the
city hall and the price will be Is
cents for all alike. Details will
appear later.

Il eAaa L'EHI.
What a scramble is going on among
the big cities of the west and north
west for the trade Of the Black Hills
country, the extension of tue Mil.
waukee aud North. Western roads
opening a new avenue for trade re-
lations with several towns which
heretofore have not been eligible to
get the business because of the great
distance in shipping around the
other way. In the past two months
Omaha, Lincoln, Minneapolis, Sioux
City and Sioux Falls have sent their
business representatives over to the
Hills country to do a little campaign
work for the purpose OF securing a
portion Of the business that has
usually gone to Lincoln and Omaha.
The Iowa and Minnesota and South
Dakota cities are nov Of the opinion
that when distance has been elimi-
mated as a leading factor In the
business heretofore that they have
a chance to cut some figure In. the
goods that are to be. sold over there.
In the matter Of distance Omaha
Is noW far removed from competi-
ton on that basis with any OF the
Dakota towns. It Is over $50 miles
from omaha to the Hills country and
for years she has been able to swing
the trade without much competition.
Now Sioux City and Sioux Falls
comes in as al asp1rant for the
Hills trade. but to get through
those towns must ship right through
Mitchell. And right here is where
Mitchell is entitled to make the
bid for some Of the business Of that
country. Right here in this city is
the foundation for building up the
strongest wholesale center In the
state for South Dakota business.
To the west lies the country clear
through to the Black Hills That Is
all ready for development. It offers
business opportunities not presented
10 this state in y quarter Of q
century. At the present time there
are but three or four wholesale
houses In Mitchell that are making
. bid for that business, bue there Is
room for more, and that more will
eventually come there Is not. the
least question. The firms that get
established here now are the ones
that are going to get the bulk Of the
business. While the business be-
tween Mitchell and the bills is
developing there is a splendid coun-
try to the west to Chamberlain and
in three other directions from
Mitchell which will afford a legiti.
mate territory for the acquisition
Of business and within a radius CT
70 miles Of Mitchell there Is not a
moro fertile or prosperous section
Of the state In which to do business.
WHOLESALERS that are established in
Mitchell will have the greatest
amount Of strictly South Dakota
territory to draw on than any other
citv in the State. The Who'll sale

to depvelop. At present there are

REMNANT
BASEBALL

The game of baseball fully justified
| day when the leading teams of the
| American League battled for seventeen
| innings in a tie in Philadelphia. The
game was witnessed by some $4,000
spectators, who paid admission to the
| grounds, several hundred who were
guests of the management, several
thousand who climbed the fences, and
large number of roof-climbers, who
saw the contest from outside the in
closure. 1t is estimated that at least
AZ. 600 people watched the Athletics and
the Detroit Tigers fight to a standstill.
In addition TO these thousands who
actually saw the game, there were
hundreds of thousands in Philadelphia
and Detroit who breathlessly watched
the bulletin boards, While in practical
" all the other baseball cities of the
country the score was followed by null
titudes, at ball games and in front of
newspaper offices, and there was great
cheering as the innings We're chalked
ND or announced and the partisans of
one or the other competitor for the
pennant gained or lost an advantage.
There is something substantial in the
grip of such a sport on the people.
1t has been said over and over again
that the popularity of baseball passes
all human understanding. There is lit
orally no accounting for the partisan
ship displayed or the keen interest
taken by the crowd in the technical
features of the contests. The great
for this popularity is the
firm public belief that the game is on
the square: that the race is honest;
that the sport is clean. and that the
nIavers, though hired without regard
for their geographical origin, are in
tent upon winning for the town whose
name they may bear upon their uni !
forms. Washington Star.

NELSON LEAVES

Gently went to Butte to collect a debt
from Harry c. O'Neil, who, at present,
is located at Ell Paso, Texas.
Nelson. so the story goes, gave
O'Neil $3.50 to bet on him when he
fought Aurelia Herrera at Butte, and
when bat" went to collect his win
nings he learned that O'Neil had
skipped out with the money. A few
days before the Gans-Britt fight,
the "Battler.'' en- route from Hege-
wfsch to San Francisco. stopped off at
Ell Paso. strolIed into saloon, and
saw O'Neil behind the bar. The recog-
milton was mutual, bur Nelson did not
betray that he knew O'NeiL After the
Gans-Britt fight Nelson went to Butte
and called on the county attorney. Mr..
Murray, and requested that he have
O'NeiI extradited and to compel him
to refund the $3.50.
Murray then informed Bat that No
Ian had skipped out of Butte with
$1,000 Of Hansen's money, $500 Of which
was recovered in the poolrOoms, and
that the other $500 still is due. and
also told Bat that if he would pay
No1an's old debt he would bring O'Neil
back from Texas. Nelson, presumably.
learned other things about Nolan. and
that, with the manner in which he
treated him when he trained for his |
last fight with Britt, overcharging him |
for board and compelling him to pay !
the cooks salary, may have had some |
thing to do with the scales falling from |

COOPER CUP RACE
On NOVEMBER ID
Defiance Will Again Be Given
a Chance to Show
Her Speed.

The second race Of the year for the
Commodore Cooper cup will be held
a week from next Sunday, in response
to the many demands which have been
made on the Regatta Committee bv
the yacht owners of the city. The
race is for the second class yachts and
new interest has been injected into
the contest, through the fact that the
Defiance will be among the entries.
The Defiance is an unknown quantity
among the yachts of the city, though
she is generally acknowledged to be
very fast. She has never had really
good tryout, on account Of the fact
that she capsized in the first race in
which she was entered, and has never
appeared at the starting line since
The last race for the second class
yachts was won by Kenneth Browns
little sidewalk, or lark, boat, which
managed to make such a good show
ing that she beat out the Malolo on
actual time and won from the Maggie
and Myrtle, the two vessels that fin
ished first, on time allowance. This
was great surprise, on account of the
fact that she was not thought to have
a show in the race. The PRINCESS,
which is considered one of the fastest
of the smaller craft in the harbor, was
badly damaged on Regatta day, when
she caDsized as she was going out of
the harbor, but ought to be in condi-
ton again for the race on November
10th.
The Defiance is little smaller than
the Maggie, though she looks larger,
and, from what can be learned of her
sailing qualities, should make fine
showing. There is considerable rivalry
between her owner and the owner of
the Maggie, and there will probably
be few cigars, dinners and like en-
wagered on the result of
the contest.

NOW SETTLED
Rival Leagues Will Play on
Alternate Afternoons at
AaIa Park.

The trouble between the Kalaniana
| ole league and the Riverside league
| both of which organizations were anx
/ ious to obtain the privilege of play
ing on Sunday afternoons at Aals
park was settled satisfactorily to boil
at a meeting held yesterday noon a.
the County offices. The Riverside
league junior will have the first Sat
urday afternoon games when the Riv,
erside senior league has completed its
| schedule, and on the next Sunday viii
play in the morning, while the Kalani-
anaole league will take the afternoon
session as it's time, after this aIterna-
ting regularly. The following were
present at the meeting: Supervisors
Hustace and Dwight, Presidents B. H
Kelekolio and A. K. Vierra, of the
two leagues, President Vannatta of the
Riverside senior league and Vice-Pres-
idents Abe and Gomez.
There was some little discussion over
the arrangement which was to be
made. but all the talk which occurred
was friendly and there was a general
feeling that. in the best interests of
baseball in the Territory, some settle
ment must be reached without trouble
The proposition of the two leagues
taking alternate Sundays for afternoon
and morning games came from Super
visor Hustace and after a little dis
cussion was agreed on as the most
satisfactory to all parties concerned.
The question of which would take the
first afternoon game. when the River
side senior series is completed, was
then brought up. In recognition of the
fact that the new Riverside junior
league wishes to make an event of the
opening which will be unique in the
history of the city ball circles. the
Kalanianaole league representa- tives
agreed that it would be only right that
they should have the first chance
The opening of this new league will
take place on either November 10 or
November II, and President Kelekolio
has invited Secretary Mott-Smith and
Consuls Saito and Chang Tso Fan to
be present and assist in the ceremonies
which will take place. All have ac-
cepted the invitation and the Sunday
afternoon that the new league starts
its schedule there should be a great
deal of excitement at Aala park.

THE GREEN CONDUCTOR.

Jerome Joyce of Baltimore was re

This BILL he said, sis awkward

There was a green conductor or
trolley line. and one morning, just
after his trip had begun, a spotte1
boarded the car
The spotter, as these men do
counted the passengers. and then he
looked at the dial. There were nine
passengers, but only hight fares had
been collected. He went out on the
platform at once. There was nothing
crooked; the conductor was green,
that was all.
See here, Mr.. Green Hand he said,
you're nickel shy. There's nine
people in there and you've only rung
up eight fares
''The conductor stuck his head in the
door and made a count.
You're right, darn EN-, he said.
And then he entered the car and
shouted angrily, at fhe same time pull
ing the cord for the motorman to stop:
Say, one O. you fellerslI have to
