TWO
FORTHCOMING
HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WIN
FROM HURON.
HIGH SCHOOL GAME IS CLOSE
BUT COLLEGE BOYS RUN AWAY
WITH THEIR OPPONENTS.

Winning doubleheaders seems to
be a chronic habit with our football
teams. Last Saturday at the college
park Huron high school and college
teams sought to put our teams out of
the running for the championship in
their respective classes, but were
rudely repulsed. The high school
team won from Huron high after a
hard struggle by the close score of
6 to O.. The college boys had a much
easier time with their opponents, the
Huron college team, winning by the
one-sided score of Al to 0.
The day was an ideal one for foot
bah from the spectators point OF
view, although perhaps a little too
warm for the strenuous work of the
gridiror gladiators. A big crowd was
out to see the doubleheader and there
was considerable cheering or both
sides. Huron was represented by a
number of loyal supporters who were
not backward about expressing their
delight at every opportunity, which
occasions, however, were few and far
between.
The first game was between the
high schools and was called shortly
after two o'clock. This was by far
the best contest of the two. The teams
struggled through the first quarter
without any material advantages to
either and the play in the last w
quarters was also very even. In the
second quarter Catlett of Brookings
made one of the prettiest runs ever
seer on a Brookings held, going thir-
ty-five yards through the Huron team
for a touchdown, the only score of the
game. Johnson kicked goal and the
score was: Brookings,6; Huron, O..
The stars for Brookings were Fish
back, Catlett. Skinner, Johnson and
Caldwell, although all of the boys
put UP a classy game and the five
mentioned We're not a great deal bet
ter than their teammates. Dickey
put up a good game for Huron, until
forced out through injuries.
The teams lined up as follows:

TO ORGANIZE COMMERCIAL CLUB

There will be a meeting of the bust
ness men ard citizens at the
armory over the Model Cloth
ing store Friday evening at 1880
for the purpose of organizing a
Brookings Commercial Club. This is
something the city needs and needs
badly, II 1t is to grow and move ahead
as it should, and 1t is of vital import
ance that every citizen interested
in the welfare of Brookings be pres
ent. Remember the time and place,
Friday at 1880 in the armory over the
Model.

BIG FRS.

On Monday II. ID. Hill, who lives
just south of town, exhibited two OF
the finest potator- we have eve seen.
One weighed a pound and nine ounces
and the other Il pound and seven
ounces and were smooth and sound.
They We're ,he Carmen No 3. a variety
that Mr.. kill has been raising sue
cessfully the past six years. The
tubers went about 1870 bushels to the
acre and run large.

An analysis Of the foregoing will
indicate that the Sioux ard lower
Jim valleys have the best crop in sew
eral years while the upper Jim and
the upper Missouri regions are far be-
low the average for the past five
years.
On the other hand the southeastern
counties are away above their aver
age. The average per acre is about
l2R bushels this year and for five
years it has been a trifle above fifteen
bushels.
A great deal Of winter wheat has
been grown in he southern counties
and the yield is splendid, some feds
going as high as fifty bushels per
acre.
OF oats we have grown $1,000, 900
bushels against 1900, 900 in 1909, but
last year was a very poor oats year.
OF Barley we have 1883, 900, about
Ii million less than a year ago, when
only a light crop was grown. The
acreage this yer is reduced because
of the poor crop last year, which dis
%couraged farmers from sowing as
freely as usual. The quality of all
crops this years is superb.
The cash value Of these three crops
for the respective years, based on
prices current in South Dakota on
October ! in ca h year is as follows:
1909 1910
Wheat ....... S35,356,375 $34,122,400
Oats ......... 12.S5S.S90 9~.70S.SS0
Barley ..... 9,195,0S0 9,S54,290
Total ....s57.41O,S43 $53,6S5.57O
That is to Say in this ear when
bad conditions have SO generally pre-
vailed the three cereals have a cash
value only S3,725.275 less than that
of 1909.

The games between the colleges
was called Immediately after the con
clusion of the first game. The first
part of the contest Huron held the
state college boys fairly we'll, but as
the game wore on the BroOkings team
ran away with their opponents and
the visitors apparently made very lit
tie resistance.
Brookings made a touchdown in the
first and second quarters, making the
score at the end of the half, IL to
0. In the third quarter the home
team made two more touchdownS II
the last quarter they piled up three
more. Toward the end of the game
Coach Saunderson put in a large num-
Der Of substitutes and they gave a
good account of themselves.
The work of the two Brookings
ends, Kremer and Meharg was good
and the rest of the line charged we'll
ard opened up good holes for the
backs. Lockhart ran the team in
good shape AID was perhaps the best
g~roundgainer.
Pence, Marchant and Pier did good
work in carrying the ball. The team
as a whole displayed good form for
this time of the ear and should make
a good showing in the remaining
games.
Yankton comes Friday and this is
expected to be the big game of the
season. Vermillion will be played the
first week in November and from the
showing that team has been making
it will be the hardest game on the
schedule.
Tho teams lined I'M as follows.

Of the Alleged "Peonage Cases' Which Were Dis
 posed of at Capital.
PHILLIPS SIN GEE R E
AItheimer Planter Merely Recovered Mules Which Were Never Paid
 For By Plaintiffs

Since the interested parties have returned from Little Rock, it appears that the account, given in yesterday 8 Little Rock special to the Graphic, of the compromise settlement of the peonage cases agains Judge T. M. Phillips, was misleading.
 A verdict was rendered by the jury in the two cases, known as the 'peo- mage cases in favor of Judge Phillips. There was another suit based on a contract, which was compromised by evidence that the plaintiffs had pur- chased mules from Judge Phillips for Imhich they had never paid, and they were attempting in suits to repudiate the sale contracts for the, mules, and to collect amounts to be due them for cotton, without paying for the mules.
 A compromise was made between the parties, whereby Judge Phillips agreed to pay about one-half of the cotton accounts, and take back the mules, and release the plaintiffs, from further payments on the mules. Un- der this arrangement, the plaintiffs, received payment of about $500 and ! Judge Phillips retians the mules.
 The account in yesterdays Graph ic was technically correct in saying that the Judge instructed the jury to bring in a verdict for $500 but this intsruction was given by the court up- on the request of all parties, after the above compromise had been agreed upon.
 From the time the suits were filed in the court some months ago many residents of Altheimer and other places took an active interest in the Illegal proceedings. They realized that the legal proceedings were unjust in so far as Judge Phillips good inten- tions were concerned and set about to aid him in proving his innocence of any wrong doing to any of his ten- ants or employees. Judge Phillips has been farming in this county for many years and has never before been accused of mistreating a tenant or taking advantage of anyone asso- ciated with him in business way. Among the well kowon citizens who were active in his behalf and whose interest in the affair was a source of much qualification to the defendant were such men as J. c. Cross, of Pen dleton, J. D. Cox, of Medford; J. s. Mcdonnell, Jesse Walt, MT Crittenden l. Thomasson, Albert Gatling, J s. Butcher, John H. Bryson, Dr. Wright, Jenks Garrett, Ali Harrington and c. F. Dyer.

Canadian Delegate Creates Sensation in Federation
 of Labor Meeting. A PRIEST IS HEARD Say Catholic Church Always Upholds Organized Lab0r-DenOunee
 John Kirby.

St. Louis, Mo, Nov. 1.-The Am- erican Federation of Labor convention stormed and raved at the today's ses. sion when the delegate from Canada said there would be no war between Japan and the United States.
 T agree with Ben Turner, the dele gate from Great Britain, that the la- Dor movement is opposed to war; said the Canadian delegate, but the time is at hand when we must. on account of the Japanese invasion of this country and Canada, prepare for war whether We like it or not. This must be done to mtaintain the white mans supremacy and when such 8 war comes the Canadians will have a common cause with the people of the United States to resent the dom inaton of this country and Canada by the yellow people.
 Todays proceedings were marked by the speeches of Catholic priest and a Presbyterian minister. The Catholic priest, Rev. Father Dietz, said there was one church that al- ways upheld organized labor, and while he did not mention Catholic church in way, he assured the con- yention that his church organized the m ssion of the Labor movement and was always ready to support it in it's struggles.
 The Rev. Charles SteZle, of the Presbyterian church, in a speech to the convention denounced John Kir- by of the Manufacturers ASSocia- ton.

Washinton, Nov. 17.-Associate Judge Charles Evan Hughes will be the next chief justice of the United States Supreme Court unless the President should change his mind be- tween the time he left for Panama and the assembling of Congress next month.
 President Taft told several mem- bers of thes Cabinet before he went of determination to elevate the newest member of the Supreme Court bench to be Chief Justice and they agreed with him that no better selec- tion could be made for the post made vacant by the death Of Melville w. Fuller. The president added he could not conceive of any contingency that might arise that would cause him to charge his mind.

New York, Nov. 17.--With police men sitting alongside the chauffeurs the taxicab companies today sent out more cabs than they have any time since the strike of their employees be- gan. No progress was made in the move to effect a settlement and the police were maintained in pursuance in the order of Mayor Gaynor.

Ralph Johnstone, Holder of
 Worid's Altitude Avia-
 tion is Dead. '.
 AN OVERLAND FLIGHT houaoSSa Witness Tragic Death Af- D ter xciting Flight-Hoxsey 1nld Not View Scene.

Denver. Col, Nov. 17.-Death rode n Overland Park today with Ralph Johnstone, holder of the Worlds Aviation Altitude record, while crowd of ten or fifteen thousand per- sons watched breathlessly, gasped moaned tainted as Johnstone plunged 800 feet in his Wright biplane and was picked up practically dead.
 The tragic death was not without a thrilling struggle with the grim passenger for when the daring bird- man realized that the earthward dive might mean the loss of his life. he tried to climb to the top of his aero- plane, lest his heavy machinery might crush out his life, but he could not make it.
 Johnstone got away perfectly when Ehe started on his last flight. Once or twice he circled above the admiring throng then he rose to heighth of 900 feet. He did not care much for the grandstand and decided to make little trip toward to the foot of the hills of the snow laden rockies. He reversed his course finally when he flew back so that he and Arch Hoxsey were making circles around each oth- CT in opposite directions. Johnstone gave some exhibition of aeria rough riding. making his plane dip and ride then again with a rise and fall it was borne by some huges invisible wave. After the seventeen minutes of flight Johnstone decided to come down. He was making a fancy descent known to the aviators as the Aerial Sp:n,' when at a distance of about 800 feet from the ground his machine was mo- ticed to warble several times, and suddenly it swerved. The right wing on which the entire weight of the plane and the man had been thrown, crumpled. The part that had been injured yesterday gave away entirely and lie hug bird crippled by shot began to flutter to the ground. Apparently Johnstone realized in- stantly that death was reaching out for him for he hurled off his heavy headgear, great leather ear caps and seized the rods and fought to chamber to the top of the aeroplane evidently trying to escape being caught under the heavy machinery. "
 The machine fell outside Overland Park at the corner of Iowa and South Delaware streets where a crowd had gathered on knoll overlooking the park.
 Spectators rushed from the park and grandstand. Physicians hurried from the park to the scene and had to beat their way through the crowd to reach the victim, however, when they arrived on the scene Johnstone was dead. His face crushed in and the bones of all his limbs protruded through the flesh.
 Hoxsey who had been far above Johnstone when the accident happen
 ed came down at once and alighted
 gracefully in front of the grandstand
 he refused to go to the scene or to
 look upon the wrecked machine or his
