championship honors was played on
neutral ground at Redtield Saturday
afternoon, both Mitchell and Aber-
deem sending large crowds to the
scene OF the conflict on special trains
over the Milwaukee road. The Aber-
deem delegation reached Redield
first in the morning, but Mitchell
did not get there until about 2
o'clock. The crowd. however, re
ceived a fine welcome at the hands of
Redfield people. The band was at
the depot, and so was Cyrus Warne,

Mitchell has made a magnificent

too great for Mitchell to make a

been averted had the Mitchell lads
played a little lower when Aberdeen
was making its line smashes so near
Mitchell's goal line.

MITCHELL THE CHAMPION
By Defeating Aberdeen by a Score of
81 to 6, She is Champion of the
High Schools.

A tribute from the Aberdeen An
'rican OF Sunday:
The Aberdeen high school
football team went down in de-
feat before the powerful Mitch
ell high school on the college
field at Redfield yesterday. The
core was 81 to 6 in favor of
the Mitchell players and the re-
suit of the contest gives them
the high school championship
of the state.
The honor was n we'll worth
striving for by both teams and
each team played to win. Aber-
deem lost because she was infer
Tor to Mitchell. The Mitchell
aggregation is a splendid one
that would do credit to any
high school in the United States.
1t was powerful on the offense,
the back field being fast and
heavy, clever and powerful on
both it's defense and offense.
The team is the best ever met by
an Aberdeen high school team
and Aberdeen is free to acknowl-
edge that she was beaten fairly
and s%quarely, outplayed in every
department of the game.

NEW SERVICE CANCELLED
The Anticipated Extension Of Two
Trains to Rapid City Has
Been Cancelled.

A week or ten days ago The Repub-
lican published a statement as TO the
possible extension OF the train service
from Mitchell to the Black Hills
country over the Chicago, Milwaukee
s. st. Paul railroad, In which it was
set forth from a semi-of1cial source
that the Chicago train which now
stops at Sanborn, Iowa, would be
continued Through to the Black Hills
and that a day train would be run
from Rapid City through Mitchell to
Sanborn to onnect with the Chicago
train. which leaves there early Ia
the morning.
The western division superinten-
dents Of the road met in Chicago for
a conference over the new time card
which was to he arranged for the
extension of these trains. The mat
ter was thoroughly discussed, ana
the extension agreed upon. The
timecard was made out and the
copy was turned over to the printers
for publication so that the new train
service would go into effect Sunday,
Nov. q. The superintendent left
for their headquarters in the west
and it was supposed that the ser
vices would be established as agreed
upon.
At the last moment the Milwaukee
officials cancelled the train service
that was agreed upon and projected
another. Instead Of running the
Chicago train through from Sanborn,
Iowa, 1t is nov the intention Of the
company to run the passenger train
which arrives at Mitchell In the
afternoon at $40 and send 1t on
through to Rapid City, instead
having 1t lay W at Chamberlain.
as it has been doing for some time.
This will make a even better service,
1t Is believed, than the n agreed
upon. The run from Mitch ell to
Rapid City can be made in the night
time and persons going to the Hills
country or coming from it will not
lose any time whatever by travelling
at day. IL is thought that some
pressure was brought to bear from
that section by reason of tile fact
that people from Rapid City In go
ing to Chicago would get to the city
along late in the evening, while
under the present schedule they will
reach that place in the early morn
ing. a sleeper will be attached to
the afternoon train either at Mitch
ell or CHAMBERLAIN for service through
to the hills.
This new timecard, it is UNDER
stood. will not go into effect until
Sunday, Dec. l.
The extension of the Sanborn
train to Mitchell to arrive here in
the evening ABOUT 10 40 O'Clock and
to leave along about IL O'Clock, has
not been wholly abandoned. 1t is
we'll understood that it has been the
aim of the Milwaukee company to
extend this train on to Mitchell, and
it may come out under the new time.

THE GAMBLE CONCERT
One of the Most Enjoyable Concerts
of the Season Was That Given
Saturday Night.
Saturday Night

A'O oOSOAN' vi UlIO lSS0
ture and concert course was held
Saturday evening, when the Ernest
Gamble Concert Party made its
initial appearance before a fine
audience. The audience was late in
arrivinag at the theatre owing to
the fact that so many were waiting
at the Milwaukee depot to participate
in the demonstration which was
extended the high school football
team on it's return from the victorious
day at Redfield.
The concert party is made up OF
but three people, but they were each
ii star in their particular role. The
program was opened by Mr.. Sam
Lamberson, the pianist, by playing
the "kermesse" from Faust, a pro-
duction that calls for herioc work
from the artist. Mr.. Lamberson is
a pianist Of great merit, and his
artistic work called forth great ap-
plause. In the "Shadow Dance" by
Mcdowell. and the %"staccato
Etude," by Rubenstein, did the
pianist show his greatest ability.
Both brought forth a display of rich
technique and a strength and power
that made the numbers ..much appre-
ciated. Mr.. Lamberson has been
heard here before In concert and his
second appearance added to his
reputation.
Mr.. Gamble, the basso. is one of
the most conscientious and earnest
singers who has ever appeared in the
city. 1t was evidently his desire to
please his audience aud he gave a
series OF selections that showed the
fine quality of his voice. With his
rich presentation Of "Gloria," he
paved the way for his other solos, all
of which received the heartiest ac-
cord. He sang Uaydn's recilative
and aria from "The Seasons with
fine effect, and then gave a dainty
number.in ga Drap O. Dew," clos
ing with the "Armourers Song"
from Robinhood. Mr.. Gamble closed
the evenings entertainment with a
trio of songs that were all excellent.
His voice and work generally gave
great satisfaction and he made a fine
impression.
Miss Verna Page, the v~ioliniste,
was new to Mitchell but before she
had played her last solo, she had won
the hearts of all by her splendid
work on the violin, and she was re-
called time after time. Her first
number was the "Ballade and
Polonaise." by Vieuxtemps aud she
played the very difficult number with
charming effect, indicating a reserve
in her work. Her second number
was a "Romance," tv Tschaikowsky
that was presented with a rich pre-
sentatioD, the melody being played
with a beautiful Interpretation. Her
clolng lumber was "Brindisi,n by
D'Alard which received rich treat
ment. and at its close Miss Page was
called back twice, playing "Annie
Laurie" with the sweetest tore.
The next attraction on the course
comes Nov. 30, when Frank Rober-
son appears in his Illustrated lecture,

Robertson. Judge Ben Lindsey ap-
