HAIL TO THE CHAMPIONS.

The Second ward base ball team are
the champions of the city. They won
their It'll by decisively defeating
the First ward at the fair grounds
Tuesday afternoon. The score was 6
to 4. Both wards presented patched
up teams, but the Second warderf;
p'ayed better ball than the First and
deserved to win.
Anderson pitched good ball for the
victors and received good support.
Hoy, who opposed him. did nearly as
well, but his support was away off
color and contributed enough errors
to lose two or three games. The base
running Of the First was something
awful to behold and they threw away
enough scores by dumb work to win
the game. Bert Tree was very sat
isfactory umpire.

THOUGHTS WITHOUT THINKING.
BY N. o. Branes.

Many people ofttimes bemoan their
fate because of the fact that they have
to work for living. They imagine
that the daily grind behind the plow,
that they would give almost anything
to get away from. And yet these
humble tasks we'll done bring their
own reward and a safety and content
ment that is more to be desired than
great riches. These thoughts ambled
into my mind as | thought of John
Lund, the land man, stretched out in
his office in Minneapolis dead-dead
by his own hand. / knew John Lund
WELL was at one time in business with
him. He was a large hearted, clean,
likable man with wonderful executive
ability and the courage to take long
and expensive chances-and he is
dead Dead by his own hand. That's
than you can earn by an honest days
work makes necessary the takin, Of
long and expensive chances. 1t costs
too much. John Lund took the
chances, played the game with a strong
hand and a clear head but the bust
ness wasn't stable. When the whistle
blew at six O'Clock his task wasn't fn-
ished nor could it be finished until
tickle fate willed that land should go
up or should go down or that peo-
pie should have money to buy or else
no money with which to buy. He took
the chances he lost. and by his los
ing many more have lost We haven't
a big house, sumptious Office, an
automobile or a whole wad of money
but when we go home tonight we shall
not have to go around by Jarvis and
get gun in order to get away from
a horde of horrid things which might
have come in the wake of these things.
Working for living isn't hard, striv-
ing for great riches is awful hard and
the chances are too long and too eX-

ANOTHER BALL GAME.

The fourth and last game of the
city league series was pulled off last
evening between the Third and Fourth
wards, and the latter came out a win
ner after a close and exciting con-
test. The score was to 2. Both AL,
lison Of the winners and Marvin of
the Third pitched good ball and all
the scores were gained on errors.
The Third had a better lineup than
in their battle with the Second and
played much faster game. The
Fourth ward was strengthened by the
addition of Daken, the First ward
catcher and his work was no small
element in their success. Ed Car
Isle umpiled his usual good game
The result of this game leaves the
ranking of the four teams in the City
league as fellows: Second ward,
First ward. Fourth ward, Third ward.
The teams lined up as follows:

There are many things that money
cannot buy, and by far the largest
majority of these things are good.
You could not buy really good city.
because the very things that make a
city good are the things given it bv
citizens out of their love for and pride
in their home town. Could YOU get
the Brookings school board to give
the time, care and thought to school
matters which they give so loyalty
and so willingly for wages? Could
you hire the county fair officials to
run their legs off and sit up nights for
so much per week? Hardly. They
do these things out of the goodness
or their hearts for the welfare of the
many and far too often are their acts
maligned instead of lauded But they
are the folks who make the city q good
place to live in and build the large
buildings to make shady place for
the kicker to loaf in. And even the
kicker has his uses but the man or
the COW with heels in the air all

Evarts' Lament.

Tune-"Gathering Flowers in May"
[Duet1
Gone is the town of Evarts,
Vanished like the morning dew.
Leaving but happy memories
On the hearts of the faithful and true
Over the old townsite we're strolling
Gazing at the old cellar holes.
But the same hills, trees and river
And that my poor heart consoles.
Memory goes back but few short years
Like awakening from slumber serene
The rise and fall of our city
Seems now, almost like dream,
Fondly we all will say farewell,
And to new homes we will go.
Tho we'd have been so contented here
If the c. M. e st. Paul had said so.
Leaving the old town of Evarts,
Leaving the famous town.
Sadly our hearts are recalling
The days of its greatest renown.
Leaving the old town of Evarts
Forever and day.
Tho In this beautiful valley
We'd love so--forever to stay.
Sorrowful, sorrowful day, [Soprano].
Hopes that so soon passed awoy

THE OBITUARY OF A TOWN.
The Town of Evarts In WaIworth
County Dies Of Lack Of a Railroad.

Where was once a bustling, hust.
ling town, filled with energetic people,
hopeful for the future and content
with the present, there Is today prac-
tically nothing save some crumbling
foundations and several cellars.
Evarts, in Walworth county, is the
town and the cause of it's passing was
the removal of the Milwaukee railroad
to Mobridge, where it was easier to
cross the raging Missouri. The rail-
road gave the citizens of Evarts their
choice of lots in Mobridge, lie Beau or
any other Of the nearby towns which
they had plated and Evarts' sorrow.
ing citizens picked up their houses and
stores and moved on, to set them down
amid new scenes in strange towns.
Most of them went to Mobridge and
nearly all of the few others went to
LIE Beau.
Col. Orr, of this city, browsed in
about the city of Evarts for many
years and in a speech which he made
at Aberdeen some few years ago he
cited figures to show that at that time
Evarts was the greatest primary mar
ket in South Dakota, an today it is
a lot of empty cellars and a memory.
The following song was written by
Mrs. Overholsen, whose husband owns
large horse ranch overlooking the
townsite, and was sent by her to Mr.
Orr:

night in the annual triangular de.

Elizabeth h. Cook, coed at the local

likely that Miss Cook will be the
