Heavy Cattle Shipments Again

Last week was rather quiet in
the local cattle markets. Follow
ing the heavy shipments of the
week before which made record
breaking Monday for the season
and practically paralized the mar
kets for the time being, there was
= general disposition manifested
by shippers along this line of the
Northwestern to hold shipments
for recovery in the market.
This week the shipments have
started brisk again with prospects
of record breaking receipts in
Sioux City and other markets.
A train Of fourteen cars was
shipped from Quinn early Mon
day morning, and = car or two
was picked up at other stations
along tho line. Elmer Hawks
shipped three cars, Henry Brewe,
three ears, Fred johnson two cars,
and Charlie Flannikan one car

Socialist Candidate Coming

A special train carrying Eugene
V. Debs, socialist candidate for
president, will pass through Philip
Saturday, September 10. Mr..
Debs is making a 1000 mile tour
of the country. He will speak at
Deadwood in the morning and at
Pierre in the evening. Prominent
socialists in this county are trying
to arrange for a brief stop at
Philip, and they will likely be
successful. Gene Debs is a force
full speaker. Though it is twelve
years since the writer first heard
him, there is no forgetting that
tall, gaunt figure, with swinging,
graceful gestures emphasizing a
speech of terrible earnestness. 1t
will be worth your while to hear
him.

School Commences
7 net Mondov echool cor

Last Monday school commenced
in many of the districts of the
county. In some Instances there
will be delay, because school
buildings have not yet been CON-
pleted, but in general the schools
will all be in session with large
attendances by the last of this
month.
At Cottonwood the contract for
the building of new school house
has been let to contractor George
Dornberger and the Mintener
Lumber Co. The building will be
commenced the first of next week
and will be completed by Septem-
Der %. The teacher has been
secured, but at present we are un-
able to give his name. The contract
has also been let for the Morter-
son school house near Cottonwood
to H. G. Norton and work has al
ready been commenced.
Last week a meeting of the
patrons of the West Fort school
district near Milesville was held
at the home of John Wedeman.
The location for the school which
was decided upon is on the quar-
ter belonging to Mae Hanrahan.
The building will be erected at
once, SO if possible, the school
may open on the 18th. Velva
Wedeman has been engaged as
teacher.
At Interior school will CON-
mence on Monday, September IA,
for a term of 8 months. The en-
rollment there will be large, and a
new school house has just been
completed large enough to accomo-
date the attendance.
The school at Hayes commenced
Monday with Miss Reed, a sister
of the republican candidate for
superintendent, in charge.
The school here in Philip opened
Monday and pupils and teachers
both report fair start in blister
ing hot weather. An addition "a
the old school building was bull,
last week in double-quick time.

SECOND ANNUAL HARVEST FESTIVAL
Parts Of the Detail Of the


Sometime late last Saturday
night solitary stranger wandered
down Center Avenue. Finding
himself alone on the principal
thoroughfare of our town, he
threw mixed handful of confetti
and Quaker oats at a telephone
pole, shrieked two or three times
in feindish glee, and wandered off
home. With that strangers last
frantic act of exhuberant celebra-
ton, the second annual harvest
festival came to an end. When
the earliest of our sleepy citizens
appeared next morning on the
scene where carnival had been,
there was nothing except, here
and there, dilapidated lemonade
stand, and little snowdrifts of pur-
pie and red confetti to indicate
that the town had just come
successfully through the three
biggest and most hilariously happy
days in it's history.
From start to finish the Festival
was big success. The crowd of
visitors showed up early on the
first day and stayed until Satur-
day evening. And better be-
haved crowd never attended a
celebration.
There was something doing all
the time. The Savages of Mime
apolis opened the program each
day. They gave three exhibitions
in the morning and three in the
afternoon, including a revolving
ladder, trapeze, and tight-wire
act. On the whole the Savages
were rather tame-not so good in
many respects as the street per-
formers here last year. Still their
exhibition was by no means a
frost, and considering everything
it possibly deserves our praise
rather than even mild criticism.
The Bad River news. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 19??-1912, 1908-09-10

It is believed that the additional
room will mike the building ade-
quate for the present needs of the
district. Mrs. Culp and Misses
Benster and Kelly are in charge.
In this county there are at the
present time about eighty schools.
Most of these have come into be-
ing in the last few years, and they
reflect, IS nothing else can, the
rapid advancement of this new
country. After the home has
been built, and very soon after
too, our people build schools. 1t
was the program of the pioneers
of Massachusetts,, and it has been
and is the program of the pioneers
of South Dakota. Already the
schools of the state take high rank
among the schools of the nation.
Few states spend so much money
per capita in education as South
Dakota. More than that, we
prophesy that, with wise super.
vision and continued interest OF
the people, the schools of this
county will some of these days be.
come the source of our greatest
pride.
The Bad River news. [volume] (Philip, Stanley County, S.D.) 19??-1912, 1908-09-10

The various sports and races
rung in as occasion demanded to
fill out breaks in the program
were always interesting, and in
every instance there was good
crowd on hand to participate ii,
the excitement. Marshal Whitney
and his assistants deserve word
of praise for the excellence of
these features and the way in
which they kept things going
generally.
Some of the horse races were
good, in fact, most of them were
up to high standards; but a few
Of these events were too fakey to
prove interesting. There ought
to have been a little bit more re-
hersal for some of the stunts that
were pulled off, and thus semb-
lance of naturalness might have
been achieved.
If we could speak understand
ingly and with full appreciation
of the fine exhibits of grain and
other products, we would do So.
This part of the Festival is de-
serving of careful and unstinted
praise. 1t was far superior to
the exhibition of these products
last year, and possibly superior to
any exhibition of like kind ever
seen in the county. The products
shown were too numerous and
varied to be considered in detail.
1t is enough to say that if you
missed the exhibits in the opera
house you missed the best part of
the Festival. A large collection
of the best grains and vegetables
were sent to the state fair at
Huron, accompanied by f. ".
Warner and Will Walpole, who
will miss no opportunity to spread
the fame of Stanley county pro-
ducts.

What They Say About Philip

Editor Aldrich of the Big Stone
Headlight, who is the present
secretary of the Regents of Edu-
cation, was a visitor here recently.
The last issue of the Headlight
contains the following account of
the visit the board paid our town:
We arrived at Philip, 78 miles
west of Pierre, about 4:3O, and
found it to be a lively little town,
lying between the river on the
south. and the gumbo bluffs on
the north. AS in most yearling
towns, the buildings were not
pretentious, but many of them
were substantially built, and the
main business street was about
three blocks long, with some
business buildings on side streets.
Before pulling up to the depot
the train stopped to take water,
and the brakeman and baggage
man jumped out and killed a good
sized bull snake by bombardlng it
with chunks of coal. We had con-
veyances awaiting the arrival of
the train, and ut once drove out of
the valley and about three miles
north. to inspect a school section
which the citizens of Philip de-
sired to have considered. We
found the country quite rolling.
but free from stone, and covered
with a "saltgrass,'' and buffalo
grass. The soil is quite stiff, and
dry, but in the few places where
cultivated it seemed to have ma
tured fair crop.
Sod corn was in all stages of
development, as IS common in q
new country, where the owner u
not always on the ground early
enough to plant at the proper
time.
Philip has an enthusiastic Com
mercial Club, which arranged 4
very pleasant banquet in the
evening, held at the leading hotel,
at which everybody had a chance
to make a speech, and many
valued acquaintances were made.
There are about sixty business
houses in Philip at the present
time, and the town draws trade
from distance of about seventy
miles to the north and half way
to the Milwaukee road on the
south. 1t contains two we'll
equipped newspaper Offices. both
of which are doing a good bust
ness.'
