PREACHER ROOTED
AT SUNDAY GAME
Says There Are Worse Things Done
In Cities on Sunday and Enjoy
ed the Whole Game

jamestown, July There was
no rowdyism, no vulgarity, and
apart from the simple fact Of the
day and the law, the whole game
was a splendid affair." said Rev.
Ogden Monday morning, discuss
ing his ayowed intentions to arrest
every member Of the jamestown
ball team, who participated in
Sundays game.
After watching the game, I re-
turned up town convinced that the
Sunday ball games at the ball
park are not chief among the
wrong doings Of jamestown resi-
dents on the Sabbath, On the
main street of the city, / saw peo-
pie of every denomination who
call themselves Christians and
good church members, doing
things and talking on subjects
which, while not against the law,
were far worse in my opinion, than
the ball game.
''Choosing between what I saw
up town and at the game, I would
choose the ball ground as being
the better place to spend the day."
Rev. Ogden was ON the ball
ground, Sunday afternoon shortly
after the game started. At the
end of the first inning he had a
conference with Capt. Nierling. Of
the team, and advised him to stop
the game, saying that otherwise he
you'd be compelled to swear out
warrants for the arrest Of the play
ers.
Nierling refused to stop the
game, and Rev. Ogden remained
to watch the edings. He ad-
mitted Monday that in spite Of
himself he became somewhat en-
thused with the excitement Of the
game before it. was over.
During the cams Rev. Ogden
was unable to procure the names
of the players, and had not sue
oeeded Monday evening.

out into the pasture to get some
horses. He was gone about an
hour and a small son was sent out
to see what had become Of him.
The little fellow failed to find him.
Then Mr.. Michalenko sent his
son-in;law, who found young Po-
tarenko apparently dead in the
field. He lifted him up but he
did not move a muscle. He came
back to the house and got a team
and help and took the young man
to the house. He then showed
signs of life and it could be seen
that he was breathing. A message
was sent to Kief to telephone DIR.

Good Work If Convictions Follow.

Attorney General Andrew Miller
of Bismarck, has proven in Rugby
that he intends to keep his word.
According to the following article
from the Optimist he must have
given all of the citizens a scare:
Attornew General Miller arrived
here this afternoon, and as re-
suit, some extensive operations are
being carried on in regard to a
general cleaning up Of the town.
He was brought up, we under
stand, at the request of the local
Purity League. The first thing
in order was a raid on the resort
out west of town, where three or
four of the inmates were arrested
and several cases of the amber
fluid confscated, which will be
held as evidence against them in
the: prosecution. They were taken
before Judge Burr, who is doing
all in his power to assist in the
eradication Of such places, and we
understand that he has also issued
warrants for the arrest of all of the
nr0nriet0rs of tho local cort drink
|parlors. There was more or less
excitement on the streets this eve
ning-owing to the uncertainty as
to just what was coming next
and everybody seemed to be all
''up in the air."

WASHBURN WINS
AT BALL GAMES II; )
and Wilton Go Down L
Defeat on Saturday and Mon
day to Washburn

The Washburn ball team were
again victorious on the Fourth
when they played Wilton at their
make-believe park. The game had
no special interesting features,
1t was one-sided from the begin:
ming and remained so. Wilton
had tried hard to get a good team
together and in place Of Washburn
playing Wilton as expected, Wash
burn played Wiprud, N ercel
Turtle Lake, Kuhn K e m
Wilton and New Salem and per-
-haps a few more. Will Richards
pitched the nine innings and was
good for another nine when the
game was over. Batteries o.
Brien and Holtan; Richards and
Battey. Umpire Richards. The
score, II and 3.
The game with Goodrich at
Turtle Lake on Saturday was con-
sidered a better game by far than
the one at Wilton. Goodrich had
won from McClusky a few days
before, and was confident the
Washburn boys would be easy,
The score 6 to O, shows that the
home'team will continue to play
ball for awhile. Yackey and Bat
tey were the Washburn battery.
There will be a game next Sun
day at Underwood between that
team and Washburn which will be
the game of the season.
The Underwood team went to
Bismarck Saturday and played
three games with Co. A. They
won the first and last games ans
gave the Sunday game to Bis
marck. All games were interesting
and drew large crowds. The scores
for the three games were: 3 and
2, 4 and 8, Z and 3; Underwood and
Bismarck, respectively.
Mercer is coming to the front as
a baseball center. They won the
game from McC Clusky on Monday
after playing ten innings. Nc
Clusky seems to be on the losing
side lately as Goodrich oeat them
in a game last week. In the game
Monday the score was tied three
times and was said to be the best
and most exciting game played by
either team. The score was Z to

This week a carload Of Ignite
coal will leave Kurtz, N. d., for
Los Angeles, CAL. for the purpose
Of demonstrating the success of a
machine built for the purpose Of
supplying the middle west with
the output Of the immense depos-
its Of Ignite in North Dakota.
While Ignite is exceptionally
combustible, leaving only five per
cent ash, it slacks SO quickly in its
natural state that it is impossible
to use it successfully for fuel.
b. FL. Clark has had built in
Los Angeles a machine weighing
10000 pounds modelled after those
in operation in Belgium, which
will compress the Ignite into solid
bricks. These bricks will not
crumble and there is enough pitch
in the coal to hold then firmly,
under the process, SO that they
will hold their shape until con-
sumed.
Mr.. Clark is interested in 10000
acres of Ignite coal in North Da-
kota, and besides will lease the
machine on a royalty of-5O cents d
ton to all who want to use them.
Already he has sixty orders. Each
has 100 tons capacity daily and
each develops total pressure of
100000 pounds.
The Belgians have had the on
ly successful Ignite brick machine
and they have been using them
for years. Mr.. Clark is the first
man to secure the services of a
workman in Belgium who under
stood how the machines were made.
They have been improved by fur
ther patents.

Lets the Other Fellow Worry.

Washington, July s. Eastern
papers are today printing story
of offers having been made to for.
mer Senator Hansbrough Of a po-
sition with the monetary commits
sion, or again with the special
senate committee inve stigating
governmental expenditures. This
story was covered in the dispatches
to the Forum when Alexander
Mckenzie was in Washington two
weeks ago. Either position would
pay the former senator $500 a
year, and either would be desirable.
Mr.. Hansbrough, however, said
today that he hadn't reached any
decision. He intimated, also, that
he wouldn't be in any hurry to
make up his mind, and is appar-
emily in a frame of mind to let
those who want to keep him out
of the next senatorial campaign do
all the worrying.
II notice in the stories printed
here that l am put in the attitude
Of attacking Senator McCumber, y
said Mr.. Hansbrougb. II have
not made any attack ON him, but
have written a couple of letters for
publication in North Dakota, ex-
planning my position on certain
matters. I am satisfied, however,
that stories concerning me have
been given out by a person close
to him intended to injure me in
the state. One Of these was that
| had associated myself with for
mer Senator Pettigrew Of South
Dakota and that we were repre-
senting certain interests in Wash
ington. I am not associated with
Mr.. Pettigrew, but am conducting
some business Of my own, which
gives me great satisfaction, in that
| am relieved Of a lot Of anxiety

More Graders Added to R.R. Crew.

The Stanton Republican has the
following to say of the new rail-
road: "On Sunday the grading
crew stationed here was reinforced
by about "a teams, making a total
of about 81 teams now throwing
dirt within two miles of Stanton.
They are working every minute
and urging their men and teams
as fast as possible, going to work
at FIVE o'clock in the morning.
There will be 30 foot cut in the
hills south of town and about an
l8 foot fill across the 10y bottom.
The grade will 20 as far as the
telephone line about one-half mile
north Of the court house. It is
possible that the road will be
built from here up the Knife river
to shut off the approach of the
Milwaukee, which is surveying a
line from Mobridge up through
Flasher and Almont into the Knife
river valley. If they build up the
Knife, it would quite likely be

become a railroad

Sleeves so often need remodeling
while the remainder of the gown is in
good style that new designs are con
stantly in demand. Here are shown
plain long sleeves, shirt waist sleeves
and three-quarter sleeves of moderate
fulness finished with rolled-over
cuffs. Each is good in its way and ali
are the latest style. The plain sleeves
are adapted to more dressy blouses
and the shirt waist and three-quarter
sleeves to the simpler ones. These
last are moderately full, while the
plain sleeves are snug at the lower
portions but slightly full at the shout

The plain sleeves are cut in one
piece each and are fitted by small
crosswise darts at the inside of the
elbows. The shirt waist and three

finished with openings at their lower
edges, overlaps and straight cuffs,

suitable for the formation of the
feathers and general upbuilding of thu

This method was tried at the West
Virginia Experiment Station with
good results. The hens molted earlier
and with more uniformity than had
been the case during preceding years.
and entered the winter in better con-
dition than similar fowls fed con-
tinually during the molting period ON
an reproduction ration.
Whether this method is employed
or not, it is best to give the fowls
more heterogeneous ration than or
binary. The addition of little lin
seed meal during the melting period
will aid in the production of new
coat of feathers. An increase in the
amount of animal feed will also be
beneficial, and an occasional feed of
sunflower seeds will make the new
plumage come in smooth and oily.
