The Classic Cup Race an Event in
AutO Circles

New York. Oct. 20.-For the fourth
time the Vanderbilt cup race will be
representing France, Germany, Italy
and the United States will meet in the
big classic over the Long Island roads.
1t will be the Vanderbilt, but not
the Vanderbilt of old. 1t will lack that
international flavor formerly given it
by the support of the foreign nations,
yet among the twenty cars already
nominated there will be found the
leading makes of the world, the en-
tries for which are made by individ-
uals rather than nations as formerly
was the custom.
Another difference between the old
and the new is that each country can
be represented by as many cars as are
put in. whereas formerly 1t was the
custom to limit the entry to five cars
from one nation, thus making neces-

Yale Leader Must Stay.

Boyd Burch, captain of the Yale foot
ball eleven, has offered his resignation
and has had it refused. Burch has been
notified that the injury he received last
Thursday is SO serious that it is doubt
full If he can play again this year. He
felt that, in all fairness to the team, he
should retire, and his resignation was
rendered to the eleven at the training
table. The players conferred with the
coaches and decided to insist that
Burch continue the office of captain.

New York, Oct. 20.-The Academy of
Music was crowded when a benefit per-

CARTHAGE SPRINGFIELD TROLLEY?
Annual Revival of Southwest Inter.
Urban Line Now On.

Once more they are talking Spring
field. Carthage electric railroad, and to
judge from the frantic headlines the
Carthage and Springfield papers are
giving the matter we should think there
is something in the report this time.
According to reports the new project
is being financed by the great McKin.
ley interests and is sure to go through.
1t is said that the work Of surveying a
route has already begun and the actual
work on the line will begin about Janu.
ary let. Within years time trolley
service is expected to be an actual fact.
Two routes are being considered.
One route practically parallels the right
of way OF the st. Louis aud San Fran
cisco railroad between Springfield and
Joplin. This will he the first route to
be surveyed by the engineering corps,
when they begin work. The engineers
will survey to Nichols via Brookline,
Republic, Aurora, Monet, Peirce City.
Sarcoxie and on to the city limits Of
Carthage.
The other proposed route is by way
Of Mt Vernon in Lawrence county coun.
ty, then to Sarcoxie and on to Garth
age. The Frisco from Springfield TO-
Carthage takes quite southwark
course in going through Aurora, Mo-
nett and Peirce City. The route
through, Mt. Vernon is more on u
straight line west from Springfield to
Carthage and is shorter than the south
ern route by about ten miles.
There promises to be spirited riv-
airy between the towns on the two pro.
posed routes to secure the new road.
Its advantages to Springfield, it is
scarcely necessary to mention. The
road would place the retail trade OF
towns on the southern route as far as
Monett at the very doors of Spring
field business houses. Mt Vernon and
intermediate points on the southern
route would be within an hours's ride
Of Springfield.

Joplin FIRE Tournament.

Thirty-five volunteer fremen teams
will compete in the annual tournament
OF the Southwestern Firemen's g Associa.
ton, which will be held in Joplin next
week. The tournament will open on
Tuesday with the annual business meet
ing of the association, and will close the
following Saturday, with the ending Of
the many contests and the awarding Of
the prizes to the successful tcams.
Besides the contests for the fire teams
there will be contests between paid de.
partments Of Southwest Missouri, in
which the various hose and hook aud
ladder wagons will race for prizes. The
big feature Of the event will be the race
Of the automobile fire fighting apparatus
in which the big rs horse power fire en-.
gines will race for the honors.
The contests of the tournament will
not be all OF the features of the conven-
tion, as elaborate plans have been laid
for entertaining the visitors, and many
sc cial events are schuled for the meeting,
which will be ended with grand fire.
mems ball to be given in the spacious
Joplin Auditorium.
The tournament this year is exciting
nationwide interest because of the auto.
nopIio uEo hBuSiuB apparatus EaCos dpu
exhibitions which will be held during
the meet. For the first time in the his
tory Of the United States these engines
will be on exhibition. They will race
for honors, and tests OF the various kinds
of automobile apparatus will be made.
These events have attracted the interest
Of many eastern fire chiefs, and repre-
sentatives of the New York, Boston,
Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and
Baltimore departments will be there.
In the events prizes are also offered for
bands, and several companies Of the Sec
oDd Missouri regiment Of national gnards
will be present. In the grand parade Of
the first day ffty-eight fire companies
will be represented, and 10 this line there
will also be more than $50 automobiles
besides which the auto fire fighting ma
chimes will also take part.

School Opens Monday.

The asper schools will open on next
Monday, Sept. 9Th. I shall he at the
school library on Friday and Saturday.
All new students who wish to be clsssi.
fed will please come to the library on
those days. am especially anxious to
see those students who wish to enroll 10
the Freshman class In the High school.
A few changes 10 texts were made by
the school board. The Smith arithme.
xtc has been adopted 10 tho grade work.
Students in the 3rd and 4th grades will
use book l, those in tho 9th and 9Th,
book 2, and those IN the 7th and 9Th
book 3. In the ninth grade the En-
glish text has been changed to Webster's 9
Elementary Composition, and the Alge-
bra to Slaugbt &, Lennes. In the senior
year Montgomery Advanced Ameri
can History has been adopted in place
Of Hinsdnle's American Government.
From indications the High School
will have practically the came enroll.
ment as last year. The Junior class
will have at least 30 members, thus
making it tho largest Junior class in
the history of the school.
Our course OF study is planned for
nine months OF school and work. To
keep pace with other schools and main.
tain the standard OF modern education
this much time Is necessary. Parents
who do not enter their children the first
day and do not keep them in attendance
until the last day OF school will usually
make serious mistake. Several stu
dents st~pped school last year before
the close Of school. Such students
will have no claim for promotion, for
they did not complete their years work.
That punctuality and regularity are
habits OF inestimRble value to US needs
only to be stated. We invite the at
tention and cooperation of the parents
in our efforts, to develop good habits
along these lines. In '0G and '07 the
entire number OF tardies WAS 329. Last
year we reduced the Dumber to l34.
We are anxious to secure proportion
ate reduction this winter.
The tuition to outside students in the
high school is two dollars II month. We
divide the school year into two semes.
ters and the tuition for each semester is
to BE paid 10 advance. Students must
have receipt from the treasurer, Mr..
Mackey, before they can bn enrolled.

on his way to Pittsburg with his
grandfather, George File, who wac TAX

miles west OF Jasper George saw a
young rabbit sitting by the roadside
and, taking his shotgun, started to get
out Of the wagon and put Bunny out OF

climbing over the edge Of the wagon
box he dropped the weepon, which slid
stock foremost, down behind the horsas;

BAND CONCERT.

The st. Olaf college concert band
from Mortified, MINI, assisted by
Prof. Oscar GrOnseth, solo baritone,
will give a concert at the opera house
on December 80.
This band is composed of forty mu-
sicians, everyone a bona fide student
at ST. Olaf college, and is under the
able direction of Prof. +. Melues Chris
tiansen. For years it has been consid-
cred one of the leading musical organ
izatons of the Northwest, and enjoys
the singular reputation of being the
only college band in America which
has made a successful European con
cert tour and played before royalty.
This years tour is the fifth annual
American concert tour of the organiZa-
ton, while in 1906 the St. Olaf band
made an extensive concert tour
through Norway. 1t has appeared in
big concerts in Minneapolis, st. Paul,
Chicago and New York and judging
by the numerous tla'tering press com
ments has compl rtely captivated its
hearers everywhere.

A GOOD SHOWING.

The showing of South Dakota at
the great corn show now in session
in this city has been very pleasing to
patriots from that state, and great
surprise to many from other states
who were not acquainted with its
possibilities.
The state exhibit from the state col
lege and experiment stations, supple
mented by displays of corn and small
grain from the various parts of the
state, is attracting much attention.
This exhibit is in charge Of j. V,
Bopp, of the state college at Brook
ings, and Manley Champlin, senior
student Over 100 varieties of grains
and drought resistant grasses are
shown, both threshed and in sheaf.
Thirty or forty hardy strains of corn
form the centerpiece of the display.
A map of sheaf grain occupies the
background and the side walls are
expuisitely fashioned with cereals and
grasses from the Highmore Sub-sta-
ton. The whole reposes upon a back
ground of yellow and blue, the State
college cOlors, and all the interspaces
are hung with IS. d. S. c" pennants

NEW COUNTY OPTION BILL.

At a meeting of the Federation of
the Evangelical Christian churches of
South Dakota held this week in Mitch
ell a question of again submitting
county option to the voters of South
Dakota was carefully discussed. 1t
was the unanimous opinion that if a
shorter bill was submitted following
closely the phraseology of the old
statute SO far as applicable, and if all
temperance forces could be united,
victory would be assured. A represen-
tative committee of the federation was
appointed to consider bill which was
brought to the attention of the fedora
ton by the Anti-SaloOn league. Sug-
gestiOnS of changes were freely made
by this committee and the following
bill was unanimously agreed upon. 1t
is thought best to present this to the
legislature under the initiative and
referendum law.
The referendum petitions must be
signed by 5000 legal voters of South
Dakota and all signatures must be
typewriter by January first. The larg-
er the number Of petitioners, the more
forceful will be the impression made
by the petition upon the legislature.
1t is well to see that each voter him
self signs the petition and gives the
first name in full, his voting precinct,
pOStoffice and occupations These in
structions must be Cal 1fully followed
and no ditto marks should be used
and no one should sign more than
one petition, otherwise the signatures
are null and void. The secretary OF
State requests that a duplicate type
written list of all signatures must be
furnished and that the petition be in
| his hands in time for this legislature
So the time factor is important to sue
cess.
The church federation requests the
Anti-SalOon league, because of Its
Omni-partisan nature to lead III the
effort and ask the cooperation OF al
the temperance forces with them il
the great work Each reader interest
ed should see to it that he signs this
new, short, concise county option bill

CAPITAL STOCK INCREASED.

AT meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Register Publishing company held
last Friday its charter was amended
so as to increase the capital stock from
$4,000 to $4,000. The wonderful sue
cess with which it's farm paper-the
Minnesota and Dakota Farmer--is
meeting and an ever increasing volume
of commercial work have rendered the
present capital, equipment and build
ing entirely too small and it has be-
come absolutely necessary to enlarge.
Several flattering offers were received
for the sale of the farm paper, but
the members OF the company felt that
Brookings was as good place as any
for such an enterprise and the above
mentioned step was taken. AS soon
as the necessary details can be arrang-
q a portion of this stock will be placed
on sale and such of it as is not taken
here can be readily placed in the east.
