BRIT 7 AND
NELSON TO
STOP WORK
GREAT FIGHTERS TRAINED FOR
MEETING
FOURTH FIGHT PROMISES MUCH
TO WINNER
Victor Will Again Be in Line for High
est Honors in Lightweight
Ranks-Crowds Ex-
pected

TEWO of the greatest lightweight
gladiators in the business will
= close long period of training to-
day at their respective camps, and
when Bat Nelson and Jimmy Britt get
together at the Cabin Tuesday night
two almost physically perfect fighters
will be in the ring for the fourth and
decisive meeting of their engagements
together.
TO say that both Nelson and Britt
are intent on winning is putting it
mildly. Each man feels that to be de-
feated 10 his opponent would sound
the death knell on all future high-ciass
ring engagements, and in order TO
miss this calamity each will try his
best to put the other away and not
have to depend on decision at the
end of the tenth round.
Were they other than the classy pu-
gilists they are both Britt and Nelson
would long ago have entered the down
and out class. II is seldom that
fighter, once he is soundly beaten or
stops under anything but the most
open circumstances, gets a chance to
come back and install himself in the
good graces of the fight fans, yet both
the Dane and James Edward have
done this. What is more TO the point,
they are still rightly hailed as the best
in their division aside from that peer
OF them all, Joe Cans.
Many Visitors Expected
In all probability the training quar-
ters of the battlers will be overrun
with visitors this afternoon, as each
man has announced that he will knock
off work with today's sessions and be
content with light exercise until it is
time to go into the ring. The weight
question was determined early in the
week, and no anxiety is felt by any
one as to the ability of the fighters to
keep from lifting the beam from the
1S3-pound mark when they climb on
the scales Tuesday evening.
AT the san Pedro Athletic club,
where Nelson holds forth. a lively pro-
gram has been prepared for the last
days work. The Battler and his en-
tire staff, including the seaside talent
and Dalton and Abdul, will exert
themselves to please the visiting hum
dreds, and some fast work with the
gloves can be looked for When he
weighed yesterday afternoon Nelson
scaled but 1915 pounds, so he can take
il easy and go in for wind and
strength only.
Britt's cast side camp will un-
doubtedly be as crowded as it was last
week. and as the space is limited 1t is
expected that many will be disappoint-
ed at not seeing the lilly white
champ" Webster, Kreling, Kutchos
and Anslinger will all assist Britt in
keeping the crowd amused, and James
Edwards S last afternoon a hard la Dor
will be the most strenuous of his en-
tire course of training.

EDWARD REED is
LEADING AMATEUR

One of the cleverest amateur players
brought into notice during the winter
baseball season now closing is Edward
Reed. the fast third baseman and cap
tain of the Christopher-LeVy team.
Reed broke into the local circles with
an excellent reputation already estab-
lished in the east, and during the en-
tire season has maintained his repu-
tation for good fielding and heavy
stick work. The little corner guardian
will finish the years work with a bat

Everything ut the Iowa
State Fair.

Alexandria, August 21.-W. s.
Hill has just returned from the Iowa
state fair, where he showed his herd
of Red Polled cattle for a third
time. He feels proud of the fact
that South Dakota herd should car
ry off the principal prizes at such
fair as that. His herd was cham
pion herd again this year. He also
took first prize on young herd.
The young COW, IneZ, that was
made grand champion of the breed
last year, won it again this year,
which is quite distinction.
The competition was stronger
this year than last. Competition
was open to the world and several
states were represented with full
herds. Mr.. Hills herd was easily
the best on e shown.
He is probably the only breeder
of the state who shows at the out
side state fairs.
The herd will show at the Mime
sofa state fair next week and at
the South Dakota fair the following
week.
While at the Iowa state fair Mr..
Hill looked up the matter Of getting
exhibitions of cattle AMI horses to
come to Huron. He say, that there
will he by all odds the hest showing
of horses ever shown at the fair.
The cattle exhibit will also be large.

lotments on the Crow Creek and 27O
on the Lower Brule. This covered
practically all the good land on the
two reservations. His work on the

there are two thousand applications
for allottments. Colonel Deets says
that the remaining portion OF those

PENNINGTON COUNTY
INSTITUTE CLOSES
A Week Of Instructive Lessons In.
terspersed With Lectures and
Recreation.

The Pennington county teachers
institute for the year 1908 has clos
ed and all feel that it has been one
of great benefit.
The writer regrets not having had
time to attend the institute more,
for there was much that would have
been interesting, and the superin-
tendent and instructors deserved
more attention than was given their
work, but there are times when even
a reporter cannot be everywhere.
The evening lectures were excel
lent, and paper read yesterday
morning by a member OF the local
w. c. T. U. but written by Mrs. A. I.
Ozmun, district superintendent
of Scientific Temperance Instruc-
ton, was as sweet and helpful as a
breath of pure air in a fever laden
swamp. A short demonstration on
the methods of teaching scientific
temperance instruction was also
given.
Following are the resolutions
passed by the teachers before adj
jeurning:
Resolved, That the instit' ex-
press its heartfelt thanks to the
Ladies' Auxiliary OF the Business
Mems club for the kind reception
given on Monday night and to citi-
zens who so royalty entertained

sion
Resolved, That the teachers ex-
press their appreciation to all the
instructors for the interesting and
valuable suggestions and informa-
tion given, also to the persons who

they are making their selections
from among the best and most pro-
ductiye tracts SO that the land will
bring top prices on the market. Many
who took the land a few years ago
among the brakes are now changing
as they see there is more money
in it. AS an Illustration of how much
there rs in it for some of the Indian
families, Colonel Deets stated that
he recently allotted to Iron Tighten
ing and his three wives and six chill
dren a tract of 3,12O acres OF the

Hay FEVER CONVENTION
Annual Gathering of the National
Society of Sneezers.

Bethlehem, N. H., Aug. 28.-The
Society of Sufferers from Sneezitis,
otherwise known as the United
States Hay Fever association, is
holding national convention here
today, with a program devoted en-
tirely to a consideration Of the IA
vorite malady Of the delegates. Beth
Iehem was selected as the meeting
place because of its hay fever repu-
tat1on as a retreat for the fever suf-
ferers, this section being almost ex-
empt from the hay fever pollen. This
Is the thirty-f1fth annual meeting of
the association.
Great excitement was caused
among the delegates by the reading
of report from Dr. Otto Schultz,
president of the Heuf1eber-Bund Won
Helgoland, or Hay Fever Society of
Germany, in which he declared that
there is no permanent cure for hay
fever. Herr Schultz declares:
1. That the only cause OF hay
fever is pollen.
2. There is no connection be-
tween govt, rheumatism and other
like ailments, and hay fever. Per-
sons suffering with or free from
those diseases are alike liable to
hay fever.
8. There is no cure for hay fever.
although certain remedies may give
temporary relief and ease the suf-
fering from malady.
4. Dieting will not help the hay
fever sufferer nor will the wearing
or not wearing OF certain kinds of
clothing rot out or diminish the eff
feet of the malady.
5. Baths, warm or cold, head
baths, foe baths or shower baths,
are of value only when the sufferer
is in closed, damp room in which
there is no pollen.
6. The only way to escape hay
fever is to be at various times OF
the year in places where the hay
fever plants are not blooming and
there is no pollen.
Z. There is no real permanent
cure for hay fever.
Reports show that New Hamp-
shire's climate is more favorable
to hay fever sufferers than any other
section of the country, although
some have found relief in California
Michigan, New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia.

SOUTH DAKOTA
COUNTY AUDITORS
At Their Meeting Last Spring the
Question Of Bank Stock Was
Discussed-What was Done.

Pierre, S. D., September, AT
the meeting of the county auditors
last spring the question of bank
STOCK was discussed rather warmly
at one state Of the procedure, some Of
the auditors desiring to nut the ay-
erage valuation of that class of prop
erty back fifty per cent of its face
value instad of forty per cent, at
which figure it had been placed by
the state board at the time of the
l9ol equalization. But no change
was made, and the auditors were ex-
pected to make return on that
basis. But when the figures came in
1t appeared that the auditors held
different views on the subject re-
CARELESS OF the discussion in March.
While a majority of them made
the return at the proposed figure,
the Stanley county auditor made out
ms return at face value, and that
county was reduced nearly sixty per
cent by the state board. The returns
from seventeen other counties were
less than. the proposed forty per
cent, and they were raised by the
state board all tho way from five
per cent for Beadle, up to 200 per
cent for Aurora. Douglas was raised
l2o per cent. Lawrence and Union
were each raised fifty per cent. Cod
dlngton, Hand, Kingsbury, McCook,
Sanborn and Yankton were each Civ
Ell boost of 33 1-3 per cent, and
Day, Grant, Lake and Lyman each
we're pushed up rs per cent. Pen
nlngton got Is and Mcpherson a ten
per cent raise.
Last year Aurora county made No
return whatever of bank stock, and
this year showed up with s4,572 of
that class of property. Buffalo is low
