WILL PLAY AMETEua BALL
Arrangements to be Made to Form /;
City League for Amusement
During the Summer.

Following out the plan that has
Wash, M several other cities of
the country, Secretary Whitaker,
of the Y. NJ. c. A. has developed a
plan that will be of considerable in
terest to the baseball fans of Mitch
ell. Briefly. the plan is to get to-
gether all the available baseball ma
terial there is in the city and organ
ize it into a twilight Baseball
League" This league is to be COM
posed of four teams. A schedule for
the season will be made cut and at
stated periods matched games will
be played. At the end of the season
the champion team will receive some
suitable recognition.
The teams will be amateurs, in
that they will be open to all and no
one barred. 1t is not sought to have
them recognized as Y. M. G. A. teams
because they are open to anyone who
is interested in the game. The fea-
ture of playing in the evening after
supper will be so that the business
men and all employees will be free
to join in the sport. 1t will also be
a more desirable time to play than
during the heat of the day.
Secretary Whitaker has in view
a tract of land not far from the bust
ness center of the city that will be
available for use. 1t is planned that
one night of the week shall be set
aside for baseball night when the
match game of that week will be
played. The other nights of the week
can be utilized for practice purposes.
Further plans will be developed as
the work progresses. The idea
seems to be a very desirable one as
an opportunity will be given for rec
reation for young men of the city
at an hour that will not interfere
with their work. Years ago a plan
like this was in operation in this
city which was very successful. The
whole city vas enthusiastic over the

where they are assured of receiving

opportunity OF meeting with their
friends. The scheme is a good one
and doubtless many old South Da-
kotans will time their visit to the
state and come home at that time.
It Is not understood, however, that
the home coming is principally for
the South Dakota people. but 1t in
cludes all those who lived in North
Dakota. The affair will last several
days and Aberdeen people will pre-
pare a program that will be full of
enjoyment for all concerned.

When the Kaufman trial is taken
up for the second time at Flandreau
along early in June, States Attorney
George Danforth will be assisted by
Thos. H. Null, Of Huron. At a con-
ference held in this city between Mr..
Danforth and the Parkston commit
tee, the latter expressed their salts
faction with the services of Mr.. Null
as an assistant. Parkston people
are still deeply interested in the out
come Of that case. and they have
stood loyalty and nobly to defend
the death of the poor girl of that
city. With Danforth and Null in
the case there will be no ground for
another trial, for there will be no
questioned methods of appearing be-
fore the court and the jury. The
Argus-Leader very properly says that
the former attorney has made the
Kaufman trial his best advertising
medium and that 1t has been hawk
ed about the state In an u%nbecoming
manner. When Egan asserted that
supreme court would grant Mrs.

difficult matter to cur the same
testimony again to convict Mrs.

more difficult proposition now than
1t was at the former trial.

The Payne tariff bill, as it's mani
fold mysteries are being u%nfolded,
does not indicate that the people who
use many of the necessities of life
are going to get much comfort from
its provisions. Commodities that
are needed for the advancement of
the condition of the moderate man
are not touched sufficiently by the
bill SO that it will offer him any par
ticular advantage. The duty on lum-
Der has not been removed from the
kind that Is used in the northwest
SO that there will not be any differ
ence in the price. What the north
west demands is free lumber, and
It should be granted. There are
hundreds of other articles which the
moderate man of means enjoys that
are not effected in the way Of lower
ing the price. OF purse the tariff
has not been agreed on as yet, but
the representatives of the northwest
should be ~exceeulngly watchful of
our interests. and demand and m
sist that these Irregularities should
be made.

THURSDAY, APRIL /, 1909.

It is evident that the South Dakota
Central railroad is not going to do
any more extending of its lines in
this state. The officers have adver-
tlsed its grading outfits for sale and
IL offering some great bargains to
townships who want to buy these
things. 10 this one Of the industries
that the legislature helped toward
gIeater progress? The inference is
thAt the South Dakota Central does
not want to invest any more money
q the state whom the state legisla-
tare removes q good portion Of Its
revenue.

The Plankinton Herald is deplor-
ing the situation which it presents
In that town in the sale of the
$1,000 sewer bonds to construct the
new sewer there. The Herald says
the selling Of the bonds places the
limit of indebtedness on that town,
or nearly so, and that there is hardly
enough money in sight with which
to make the water system adequate
to the needs of the people. Editor
Taubman cannot see the need of a
sewer system If they do not have a
water system that can be operated
with 1t, one being about as essential
rs the other.

The two appointments of mem
bers Of the state supreme court,
which were provided for by the re-
cent legislature, were announced in
Pierre Tuesday by Governor Wesley.
He named Judge p. G.. Smith, of
Yankton, for n OF the positions and
Judge Mccoy, of Aberdeen, for the
other. Judge Smith has been on the
circuit bench for a good many years
and holds the position of being one
of the most able judges in the state.
Judge McCoy's period on the circuit
bench has been comparatively short,
but it is stated that as an exponent, of
the law he has great ability. Robert
Trip, of Yankton, was appointed
to succeed Judge Smith, and Frank
McNulty, Of Sisseton, succeeds Judge
Mccoy. Governor Vessey's appoint
ments will be very heartily endorsed.

JAM ON BOTH SIDES OF HIS
HAPPENED TO THE DISCONNECTED KING.

y NEE upon time King lived
in a beautiful ivory palace.
don't know where they ever got
enough ivory with which TO
build it. but there it was, and If one
may believe the old time stories it was
quite a common thing for monarch
to have a palace made OF that sort of
stun.
Now. this king was not one bit con-
tented. for no matter what he had or
how much he liked 1t at first ne very
soon began to see flaws in it, and il he
could not find them in the beginning
he kept on hunting until he did.
On the day that 1 am going 10 tell
Of ne was feeling particularly cross and
fretful, and what DO you think it was
about? Nothing that would have trou.
bled a reasonable person at all. 1t was
this: A day or two before king friend
who lived a few countries away had
sent him a large box of jars OF the
most delicious jam Of every kind and
a few kegs Of the finest butter ever
made. The king enjoyed them tremen-
dously and had some for every meal
But all Of a sudden as he sat munching
away-for even kings MUNICH If they
really like what they are eating-he
turned to his favorite and said, as soon
as his mouth was empty enough:
What's the use Of having all this jam
and butter If I can't eat ii on both
sides OF my bread? My next slice
must be fixed that way"
Now. that may seem easy enough
when YOU first hear of it. but it is most
inconvenient when you begin TO try il.
IN the FIRST place. the king liked his
jam and butter spread on very thick
and smooth and even. and though the
servant managed the upper side very
nicely. as soon as he tried to turn it
over his troubles began. It stuck to
the plate and smeared things generally.
and pretty soon the servant was in
despair and the king was cross be-
cause he had TO wait.
At last one piece was fairly respect
able looking. and the king began TO
try to eat il, but he could not manage
il and keep his fingers clean. and that
displeased him, for he was rather
fHssy about sticky fingers. 1 suppose
you think he might have taken fork,
and so he might If there had been
such thing. but in the time that
ivory palaces used to flourish there
We're no forks IN the world.
Perhaps ii was just as well, for if
the King had had a fork he was just
the sort Of person to have stuck his
fingers or his lips with it. or he would
have complained that the tines of it
