Jack desired it understood that
he had say in the matter and
that the firm of Richard & Gleason
might yet see fit to go to some
arena in the vicinity of San Fran
cisco that is already in existence
rather than spend several thousand
dollars in building an arena here.
Gleason expressed confidence,
however that he and Richard could
reach an agreement and that prob
ably there would be no further
trouble when plans were to be con-
sidered.

SPRINGFIELD NORMAL
The Schools Fourteenth Year Cele-
brated by Students and Faculty

AVN NJ oit0 ]
Springield-Just fourteen years ago
South Dakota founded it's Normal
school at Springfield. Last week, the
faculty celebrated this fact by oppro-
pirate ceremonies. The day was 81 en-
as a holiday and in the afternoon on
the gridiron the football team, under
Prof. Hopes efficient coaching, de-
feated the Santee Indians by a score
OF 15 to 3. The game was played an
der the new football rules and was
highly interesting to the enthusiastic
crowd on the side lines. The Spring
field team has several of it's players OF
last year and some good new timber.
Considering that it is still early in the
season, the team Is in good condition.
Other games are scheduled for the
near future and a successful season is
anticipated.
The eliminating event of the day
was the evening reception given to
the students by the members of the
faculty. Under the new electric lights
at the dormitory, came the youths
and maidens arrayed In their best.
After the usual formalities were over,
a short program was given. Miss
Clara Hinsdell, the new and efficient
instructor in piano and vocal music.
sang two solos and Miss Katherine
Finley, the new violin teacher, render
ed two very pleasing solos. Prof. Fl.
H. Goodenough sans in tie facut
quartette and also sang a SOLO. Presi-
dent G. G. Wenzloff, who has been 50
successful in the management of the
school, spoke a few words in his own
characteristic way about the past and
future OF the school. After the pro-
gram and a drawing game, the stu
dents were conducted to the dining
hall. where light refreshments were
served by the faculty. The rooms
were art stically decorated for the oc-
casiOn.
Altogether Springfield is showing a
fine advance. A good increase OF
students, a dormitory filled to it's ut
most capacity, excepting the guest
room, and a dining room almost
crowded all speak of the popularity of
the school. A spirit Of enthusiasm
prevails and must school and class
spirit IS manifested.
During the summer, many improve
ments have been made in the class
rooms, library and dormitory and also
in the general appearance of the
lawns. A new cement sidewalk now
nnect with the town walk. Plans
are on foot to finish the upper story
of the dormitory and a new science
hall is much needed. The large num-
Der of music students has necessitated
the purchase of a new piano.
South Dakota may we'll be proud OF
Spr 'ngfield Normal school as ore OF
several fine state institutions and the
Springfield citizens are fully aOpre-
ciative of the ~advantaee Of ha ing the
normal in their midst.

Saloon Cases in Tripp

Carter-Saloon cases, which are Of
importance as bearing upon the legal
ity OF a number Of licenses Issued In
Trip county, which is one Of the new
est counties in the state, will come on
for hearing before Judge Trip, of the
state circuit court, at the conclusion
of the Gregory county term OF court.
this month. A census was recently
taken and shows that Carter township
has sufficient population to entitle 1t
to three saloons. Judge Trip refused
to accept this census, and states that
before any action is taken by him in
reference to the license matter an
other census will have to be taken
under the supervision of the court.
When this is done it is believed the
license question can be disposed Of
to the satisfaction of all concerned.

from a pocket account-book, and on it

not really affect the business OF the
country They will be due only to
stock manipulations by great brokers.
The social unrest that has been

that the government will maintain 9
