HAYWOOD SPEAKS.

William ID. Haywood, eX-presdent
|of the Western Federation of Miners
and who was tried and acquitted for
completely in the murder of eX-Gov-
ernor Steuneburg of Idaho, delivered
speech at the opera house Thurs
day evening under the auspices of the
Brookings Socialist club. Mr.. Hay
wood was greeted with a large house.
and he made a very good presenta-
tion Of the socialist side of national
questions.
The speaker was very bitter at
times, attacking with venom Roose-
velt, Bryan and Taft and also took
a shot or two at the prohibitionists.
He assailed the president for his let
ter referring to Haywood and his as
sociates as undesirable citizens" and
also for his action in sending govern
ment troops against striking miners.
He referred to Taft as Injunction
| Bill, and described him as a bitter

a soldier who never fought battle:
a printer who never set stick of
type; a lawyer who never wrote a
BRIEF; commoner who never was
common; farmer who never plowed
a furrow, a party leader who never

| He described the conditions in the
big mines of the west, where he said
the workingmen were worse off than
cattle, and told Of the events which
brought out the troubles in the Couer
dAl2ne country. His audience was
anxiously awaiting his story of the
| famous trial in which he was a CEN
tral figure, but he made no reference
to 1t aside from saying that he and
his comrades were arrested, bundled
on board special train and taken
out of the state in defiance of law
and without authority
He said the people in this great
agricultural section had no idea of
what the workingmen of the west had
to contend with and that conditions
out there were almost unbearobIe. all
of which is probably true

A PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT.

The beautiful fairy play, "Puss In
Boots was presented at the opera
house by local talent Monday evening
under the direction of the author,
Madison J. Lee. In spite of the fact
that the weather was bad the players
were greeted with a good house, and
the Ladies' Aid society Of the Epis-
copal church, under whose auspices
the entertainment was given, cleaned
up nice sum. The play was nicely
staged and well acted out and the diff
ferent characters showed excellent
talent and training. The Liliputian
wedding, which opened the program,
was one Of the features and the parti-
cipients received hearty applause The
different drills introduced by young
ladies and girls were prettily executed,
an especially good one being the rag
doll drill by fourteen little girls. W..
S. Riley and Miss Ruby Williams con-
tributed solos, which added to the
pleasure of the evening.

F AGRICULTURE TO
OPEN.

The new school of agriculture of
the State college will open it's doors
to receive students on November 3.
The course is planned to give the
boys and girls from the farms of the
state the essential high school branch
es and particularly to train them for
life's work on the farm and in the
home. The course is given only dur
ing the months the students are not
needed On the farms and it should
be very popular with the young peo-
pie of the state.
DR.. A. A. Brigham will be dean of
the new school and Miss Jessie M.
Hoover preceptress. The college was
very fortunate In securing DR.. Brig
ham. who is one of the best known
authorities on agricultural subjects in
this country, and under his guidance
we look for the school to be a success
from the beginning.

HARD GAME SATURDAY.

The college football team goes to
Fargo today, where they meet the
University of North Dakota team on
Friday. This is one of the hardest,
if not the hardest game on the sched-
ule, and while the team is hopeful of
winning they are not banking heavily
on it. Last year Fargo had a team
the equal of any of the big universi-
ties of the west, and while not as
strong this year they have a great
aggregation and Brookings will have
to go the limit to win.
The college team will be handicap
ped in the game b. the lack of prac-
tice, that is IT, experience which
comes from act4al gridiron combats.
They have played but one game this
year, against the Aberdeen normal,
and that was hardly any better prac
tice than the first and second teams
get in their conflicts with each other.
Coach Saunderson was very hopeful
that the Madison game would give
his pupils some needed practice, but
Madison backed out at the last mo-
ment, and it was to late to secure
another team.
One week from Saturday the team
plays the Toland Business school team
at Sioux Falls, and the following Sat
urday they have another heavy en-.
gagement when they meet the fast
st. Thomas college team here ST.
Thomas has a heavy bunch and this
contest ought to be the best of the
home season. Yankton college comes
here November II for the annual
game and the following Friday the
team goes to Mitchell. The season
ends with a Thanksgiving day game
with Huron college at Huron.
Coach Saunderson will take the fol.
lowing men on the trip: Captain Den
hart, Chas. Johnson, Cliff Johnson
Latin, COughlin, Feurnstahl, Pence
Wolheter, Atkinson, Granger, Meharg
Hyde, Bibby, Odland

CRUlCkSHANk DRAFTED.

Norman Cruickshank of this city.
who played great ball for the Water
loo. Iowa. team this season. has been
drafted by the Sioux City team, cham
pions of the Western league. and il
is very likely that he will be mem
ber OF that aggregation next season
During the present season the Water
loo management had several chances
TO sell "Cruik,' the San Francisco
team being one of the number after
him, and he was in hopes that they
would draft him, as he wanted Il
chance TO play in that country. In
speaking of the draft by Sioux City
the Sioux City Journal says:
In an effort to land two new out
tielders for the Packers OF 1909. Man.
.ager Ducky Holmes has sent to Sec
retary Farrell, of the National Asso.
citation of Base Ball clubs. notice of
the draft of Norman Cruickshank, of
the champion Waterloo clubof the Cen
tral association, and Stovall of the
San Antonio club of the Texas league
1t is possible that other managers
may be after the two men and that
is the reason that the Sioux City
magnate has made an effort to get
in on the ground floor.
"Stoyall, who was one of the lead
ing batters of the Lone Star organiza
ton, is a brother of the big Jesse
Stoval, OF the Cleveland American
league team, and is almost fast enough
at the present time for the big leagues
! Cruickshank is said to be a better
man than Jimmy Lewis, whom man
ager Holmes purchased from the
Waterloo club. but who probably vii
be lost to him through the workings
of the rules of the National associa
| ton. Lewis probably will be compel
led to report to the Philadelphia
American league club"

Monday evening at the W. b. Den
hart residence a large number of
friends Of Mr.. and Mrs. +. l.. Van
Dyke gathered to spend the evening
with these people who were about to
leave our little city and take up their

propriate presentation speech by Mr..

A TREAT.

The theatre going people of Brook
ings have a treat in store for them
on the evening of the Goth, in the pres
entation Cf Lincoln j. Cartars sensa-
tional drama, The Flaming Arrow"
As its title would indicate, the play
deals with the events that occur on
Mountains. 1t is not as blood thirsty
as its title would indicate, but is full
of pathCs, deep heart interest. adven-
ture and side-splitting bursts of laugh
ter which relieve the more serious
plot OF the story. The play is
typically a border drama and exploits
Indians, cowboys, but is withal, said
TO be one of the most rational and
interesting plays of the kind ever
produced. 1t is claimed that the
scenery employed in this production
is of surprising richness and fidelity
to the locale of the play.
In the second act in which an In
dian council is held, there is re
markable realistic reproduction of a
council fire, with flames leaping up
ward apparently in the most natural
manner. The weird Indian music and
chants; the unearthly dances and war
whoops; the fantastic movements OF
the ghost dancers and a total eclipse
of the moon, all tend to make this act
one of interest and novelty

The Brookings boys used the on
side kick to a good advantage. The
play was Rolla Gray's meat, as he
was pretty sure of getting the ball
before it struck the ground, and re-
turning it for few yards gain. The
delayed pass, the product of the last
two weeks practice, was used for the
first time by the Watertown boys,
and each time had the Brookings boys
guessing
The student body was out in full
force and aided very materially in
holding the score to what it was.
The Watertown team is to be con
graduated upon the result of the
game. Played against odds, and de-
spite rumors OF Brookings' speed and
strength, Watertown went into the
game, and had it not been for a
streak of hard luck would have been
a winner.
The Brookmgs boys are good play
.ers, and won fairly. There was no
dirty work on the part of any one. A
number of hearty supporters of the
BrookingS team We're in the city, who
did there utmost to cheer the boys
when it looked like a sure touchdown
for Watertown.

STUDENTS
CAN'T VOTE
Is DiCiSiOn of Mitchell Judge
In Case Brought There
STUDENTS ARE NOT RESIDENTS
Legislature Will be Asked to
Define Students Rights

A disturbing factor in city elections
in this state, particularly where col
leges are located, is the student vote
The question of its legality was set
tied by Judge f. B. Smith in a case
that was brought before him from
the spring election in Mithchell de-
Gliding that fifteen students voted il
legally.
The question was brought up in
an aldermanic contest, and the testi-
mony Of fifteen students was taken
before a referee, and their testimony
submitted. This testimony in the per-
sons of Don c. Brown, Warren w.
Coke, Robert Wilde, Samuel w. Mar
bic. Percival l.. Winslow, II. c. Kings
bury Earl Aaron Carl Fosse, Walter
c. Atkins, Ray n. Studt, c. c. Hink-
ley, Frank Johnson, Ray Christensen,
each of them stated that they were
students OF Dakota Wesleyan; that
they had come here to secure an edu-
cation, that they were supported by
their parents, and that so far as they
knew they would not remain here
after securing an education. The stu
dents also voted on the license ques.
ton, and it was mainly through their
votes and other students that the town
went dry by majority Of q votes.
! The court in its findings stated that
the students were not residents of the
city; that they were not qualified
electors at the date of the election and
We're not entitled to vote in that city.
The findings do not dislodge Mr..
| Hardy from his seat on the council. as
| his majority was larger than the stu
dent vote.
The decision of the court will be
used TO avoid any further difficulties
regarding the student vote in that city.
There is some talk of presenting a
bill to the next legislature to define
the right of students voting in college
towns.
BrOokings has had the same trouble
with the student vote as our sister
college city, but it has never reached
the stage were it was necessary to
take the matter into court.

Swanson Likes Bryan.

Richmond, Va, May ia.-=''4 believe
that William Jennings Bryan is not only
the strongest, but ! believe he is the
most available man for the nomination
as president. am for Col. Bryan"
Gov. Claude A. Swanson today made
this plain and direct statement in con-
nection with the presidential campaign
this year. He declined, however, to go
any further into national matters,
saying that he would cheerfully support
the nominee Of the Denver convention.
The statement from the governor is
of peculiar interest because of the fact
that the governor had been considered
to be somewhat opposed to extending
another nomination to the Nebraskan.
1t is probably that the position taken
by Gov. Swanson will have the effect of
swinging into line many Of abe luke
warm Democrats of this state and to
perfect the organization of the state
solidly for Bryan.

Danlel's Man Beaten.

Lynchburg, Va, May 16 The climax
in the fight on United State Senator
John W. Daniel in his home precinct by
ex-State Senator A. F. Thomas came
today where Thomas was elected dele
gate to represent the precinct in the
State convention at Roanoke, by q vote
of 81 to 81 over John w. Fortune, who
was generally accepted as the Daniel
candidate.
The delegates in the other precincts
were selected in mass meeting, but in
this precinct, where Daniel and Thomas
both vote, primary was asked for by
the Thomas people, admittedly to pre-
vent Major Daniel from going to the
convention, for it was known that he
would not enter the fight.
When Fortune came out he was her
aided as the Daniel candidate, though
Major Daniel personally took no part
in the fight, and the friends of Thomas
fought Fortune as bitterly as they
would have Major Daniel.
There is no doubt but Thomas will
now carry his fight against Senator
Daniel to the State convention in the
hope of preventing his election as one
of the four delegates at large to the
Denver convention.

Four Killed BY TornadOes.

Crowley, La, May 19.-Reports
reached here tonight of four deaths to-
day in tornadoes near this place. The
dead:
At Chataigner-Henry ]. Young and
a child of Thomas Young.
At Plaquemine Ridge, two negroes.
About dozen persons were injured,
but none fatally. The tornadoes were
small, according to the reports, and in
some cases their path was scarcely more
than the width of house. Aside from
the fatalities the tornadoes appear to
have done little harm. Crop damage
was reported as small, while only about
a score Of buildings comprised the total
of such destruction.
