in the closing game Of the series, win
ming handily to o. No better or keen
er game, especially so far as Kennedy's
team was concerned, has been played
on the fair ground diamond this sea-
SON. The Encouragement of the usual
line up did not affect the play at ALL
and in fact in places it was much bet-

the game on account of sickness, and
King was brought into short. The
game he played was all that could be
desired He accepted eight chances,
two of them hard ones, without a mis-
take, Kent was put into center field
and Slapnicka played right,
In addition to playing a beautiful
fielding game, the home team and bort,
who was in the box, were extremely
lucky, The luck of the game proved
to be no small factor in the final re-
suit, Altho bort was hit little more
than Birch, who pitched for Keokuk,
many of the chances. altho hard. were
within reach Of the fielders. Foster had
seventeen put-outs, which is tirst-class
evidence that the inf1eld was kept
busy. Keokuk also played g. good field
ing game and altho their mistakes
were few, one OF them served to help
make the first score Kennedy's men
got. The other one was hit out and
earned in the fifth inning.
Altho in four different innings Keo-
kuk got two hits closely following one
another they were still unable to score.
In each of these innings bort was in u
tight place, and 1t was then he proved
more effective than when the bases
were unoccupied. The help of his
team mates proved of great assistance
to him, and aided him materially in

short time before had narrowly es-
capped shooting Reisinger in the foot.
Reisinger cautioned the young woman
to be careful and always keep the
hammer at half cock when not shoot

tons. The bullet that hit Miss Bruner
passed thru the young woman's dress
and skirt, and from this fact lies about
the only danger Of any serious conse-

dangerous. Miss Bruner was taken
Immediately to her home, a surgeon
summoned, and the wound carefully
dressed.
Miss Bruner, who is 81 and good
looking, regrets the shooting more on
her lovers account than any pain or
inconvenience the wound may cause
her. Young Reisinger, who is %, was
pretty badly broken up over the ac-
cident, and naturally blames himself
for his seeming carelessness.
Miss Bruner is of the opinion that
firearms were not made for her, as this
is the second time that she has ex-

close to the girl, the charge from the
shotgun going past her head entirely

FOR ROUNDUP OF REPUBLICS.
Plan ON Foot to Pacify Central
America

That all of the Central American
republics are looking to the present
state of warfare between Nicaragua
and Honduras to result in an agree
ment for permanent peace in Central
America was developed Friday by
general discussion at the state depart
ment at Washington, d. G. With that
end in view the negotiations looking to
a cessation of hostilities will not go
so far as to take up the subject OF
permanent peace, but will leave this
broad question to a conference to be
held in Washington or the City Of
Mexico, and in which all of the coun-
tries Immediately interested will take
part. The United States and Mexico,
according to the embryonic plans, will
occupy the important positions of UNI
pires.
The conflict between two Of the
Central American republics which is
now drawing to a close has made it
apparent to all that the present I'M
settled conditions there are hamper
ing the development of the countries.
The various republics not involved in
the war kept free with the greatest
difficulty, and commercial affairs in all
of them are affected.
With the United States and Mexico
urging the placing Of the republics on
firm basis so that they might dwell
amicably together and enjoy an inter-
change of business, and with the les
sons taught by the present war; there
is every indication that a permanent
agreement may be reached. The plan
has not gone far enough for the sug-
gestion of a date for such a confer
ence, but it is assumed that it will not
interfere with the conference at The
Hague, although the two would not
be in conflict in any way.

SAYS PETTIGREW Is HER son.
Illinois Woman Claims He Was Kid
naDed When an Infant.

An Aurora, ILL.,, woman has laid
claims to being the mother Of former
United States Senator Pettigrew, of
South Dakota, and has sought the ad-
vice of a we'll known Aurora attorney
with a view to proving her claims. 1t
is probable that the matter may come
to such a state that it will be threshed
out in the proper courts, but it is un-
derstoOd that at upresent the status
of the case is such that it is impossi-
BILE to tell whether or not the wom-
ans story is at all consistent.
At any rate the Woman's name is
Mrs. Nellie Brown, and she lives in the
western part of the city. She is about
SO years of age. The story which she
has told to her attorney and others is
to the effect that her son, who, after
reaching the age of manhood, became
United States senator from South Da-
kota, was kidnapped from her while
yet in infancy. and that she did not
know anything of him for a great
many years.

BUILDING UP UNIVERSITY.

President F. b. Gault is doing all

no fault Of his if the beginning of the
next school years does not witness the
largest attendance in the history Of
South Dakota's leading educational
institution.
lacking to make the state university
what it should be, but as q result Of
an action of the board Of regents lhe
needs will be supplied by next fall. To
the college of arts and sciences, col
lege of law and college of music, will
now be added a college of medicine
and a college of engineering
Heretofore it has been possible for,
students who planned on a medical
course to take their first two years
work at the university. This work is
in the nature of scientific preparation.
But it transpires that regular medical
schools will not accept the work of
the university for the first two years
simply because of the fact that no
chartered college of medicine exists at
the institution. To overcome this OBJ
stacle and to give each student who
desires to remain here an opportunity
to do work which will count college
of medicine has been authorized by
the board of regents. Eventually this
means that a full course in medicine
will be given.
