 Matthewson was a broken reed
 when Baker smashed his solid home
 run driye in the ninth, tieing the score. He escaped in the tenth in- ming without difficulty but the Phil adelphians unlimbered their heavy lartiliery in the eleventh and before the cannonading was over, two men had scored.
 In six innings the New York pitch CT retired the Athletics in order. Three Athletics struck out, oldring who hit Matthewson for two doubles
 last SatqEday, flaming twice anu Davis once. 'Matty" pitched a steady game, giving no bases on Iballs.
 Philadelphia had six men left on bases and New York only one. Only three Giants reached second base and two of these scored.
 Jack Barry was the particularly bright fielding star tolay. His most spectacular play came in the eighth when Fletcher hammered a hard twisting grounder through the box. Barry came over with lightning speed scooped the bali after it had taken a wicked bound, and snapped it to Davis ahead of the flying Fletcher.
 Captain Larry Doyle, at second accepted ten chances without error. while Collins was also busy around second base for the Athletics, hav- ing eileen chances and falling down on two of them. His tumble of Beck CTS grounder in the eleventh was responsible for the Gisntsf second run.
 The much vaunted speed of the Giants on bases was not in evidence. Catcher Lapp turned back five Giants runners who attempted to steal, wsile Myers was able only to check one of the visitors three attempts.
 The unpleasant feature of the game was the spiking of Frank Baker by snoigrass in the tenth inning in an to steal third. Lapp made q perfect throw to Baker who was waiting for Snodgrass with the ball. The Giants center fielder came in- to the bag feet first. He appeared 10 raise one foot as he slid in and the spokes shot into Bakers arm. The Athletic players evidently believ- ed the spiking was intentional for Topsy" Hartsel berated Snoderass bitterly and as the latter walked to the bench, he was hissed. Snodgrass said it was unintentional and that Baker had blocked him.

THE MITCHELL CORN PALACE

Mitchell's Thirteenth Annual Corn
Belt Exposition this year is schedul-
ed for the week commencing Sep
TENDER 25th and closing September
Goth. The Corn Palace which is the
prominent feature of this EXPOSE
ton is the only one of it's kind in
the world, and serves as a nationwide
advertisement of the states re-
sources. There are no finer agricul-
tural exhibits to be found anywhere.
The beautiful designs displayed in
the decorations of the building at
tract the attention of all classes from
hear and far. No one who has ever
had the privilege of viewing a fresh
ly decorated Corn Palace, can go
away without the impression that he
has see a real art exhibit, a picture
in natures own colors.
Aside from the decorations, there
is given the most wholesome kind
of entertainment. Those who are
looking for amusement and relaxa-
ton from their daily cares, will find
in the program presented something
that they will fully appreciate and
which they will not forget for many
a day.
Mitchell prides herself upon the
continued success of these eXposi-
tons, and just as long as the Corn
Palace is maintained as a Mitchell
institution just so long can the visitor
be assured of getting his moneys
worth, and of a greater Corn Palace
each recurring year.
Work is already under way on the
decorations for the 1911 Corn Pal
ace. The arrangements OF the differ
cnt colors of corn in the makeup
of the designs will be something en-
tirely different from what has been
presented in years past.
The people of Mitchell have a right
to ask the cooperation of the citi-
Ems of the state for their Corn Belt
Exposition, for, which it is supported
in its entirety by the business men
of that city, there are few who are
not willing to admit that it is the
strongest argument attempted in
support of our claims that South Da-
kota is getting into the front ranks
as a corn producer.
One might write a book on the sub
ject, giving in detail his impressions
during a weeks stay at the Corn
Palace. Suffice to say that the
stranger is always welcome within
the gates of Mitchell. The citizens
open their homes to those who can
not be accommodated at the hotels,
and special means are provided for
the attention and comfort of all
visitors. The event is looked forward
to by the thousands of people who
spend their annual vacation time
here and go home feeling better for
having attended.

Last week five elevators, the depot
and a house were burned at Oldham.
There was a large quantity of grain
and coal in the elevators and the loss
is estimated at about $50, 600. Old
ham, like Bruce, has no fire protection
and when the fire got under full head
way there was nothing to do but stand
and e it lick up valuable property.
A fire at Bryant is also reported as
burning E. S. Dunn's implement store
and a large livery barn. The first
thing a town should do is to provide
means for putting out fires, as one bad
fire will destroy enough property to
pay for fire protection many times
over. Bruce ought to understand this
as she has had two bad fires in the
last six years, but she does not seem
to have learned the lesson yet.

over and paint any color desired
with good house paint. | have one
painted dark green and it looks as
soft and refreshing as new velvet
rug would, and is not only cool in
summer, as well as warm in the
winter. but so easily kept clean.
Any old Brussels or velvet carpets
can be turned and painted, especial
ly in halls. Paint to initiate hard
wood floors. We had one painted
a light brown, and with a coat of
varnish it was a pretty oak color.
With rugs scattered over it, it
was as satisfactory as new modern
floor. These carpets also are a
fine substitute for linoleum in
kitchen and pantry.

Roads Agree To Rate Decree.

Chicago, ILL.,, March Thirty
five Western railroads decided to-
day to make no appeal from the
recent decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission denying the
roads the right to increase freight
rates. They will accept the decree
of the commission as final.
The decision was reached at a
meeting of representatives of the
roads at the Western Trunk Line
Association headquarters here.
The opinion was advanced by
many that the roads would be unable
to make any stronger showing before
the commerce Court than they had
ruled its decree would be binding
for two years.
1t also was argued that if the
roads comply with the decree with

advanced tariffs before March 10

Lorimer Seated In Senate

Washington, D. c., March / One
of the most persistently waged cam
paigns ever known TO the corridors
of the Capitol closed this afternoon
when William Lorimer's title to his
senatorship was declared legal by
his colleagues.
The vote was 46 to 40
A month ago LOrimer was beaten
Polls of the Senate then clearly
showed this to be the fact.
To-day he emerged victorious by
just ABOUT the margin then existing
against him.
A few weeks back the best in
formation was that only five or six
Democratic Senators would support
him. But he got eleven votes from
this source. Senator Bailey of Tex
as won" the unexpected large
Democratic contingent, eXerting
himself in the case beyond any
other cause which he has recently
eSpoused
These Democrats and ten lame
duck" Republicans Senators de-
fea ted for re. election, who have
nothing to lose politically make
twenty-one OF Lorimers forty-six
votes. In several other ways anaiy-
sis of the vote is interesting. Moth
ing like it is remembered by the
oldest Senators.
The only faction which unani-
mously stood together was that of
the insurgent Republicans, who
voted against the Illinoisan tor a
man. Parties divided and so also
did the Senators from the different
sections of the country. The Sena-
tors from sixteen States split, one
voting for and the other against
him.
1t Is vote sure to remain alive
in politics for years to come. 1t is
considered especially certain that
the 1912 primaries and elections
will number more lame ducks,
evnn dead ducks, as a result.
An impressive scene formed the
setting of Lorimer'S "exoneration.

Story OF An Exile.

wilderness, the eager nope That the
next stroke of the pick will open the
long-sought, but battling treasure
trove, is told in the recent death of
a Macon county man who might
have lived with his people and en-
jOyed all the comforts they enjoyed,
and who by this time would have
been wealthy on the products of
Missouri had he never allowed to
creep in his veins the seductive
call of the wild.
The man who died a hermit in
the mountains of Arizona, in a one
room cave of rocks, was James w.
Edwards, brother of George Edwards
a Primitive Baptist minister of
Macon. After the completion of
his services in the Federal army in
1864 James babe his brother good
bye, and lost himself in the wilder
ness of the West. They never met,
again, though for 10 or II years
james wrote home, with more or
less regularity. These letters came
out of Colorado. They ceased com
ing 80 years ago, ana though every
effort was made to locate James,
nothing could be ascertained con-
corning him.
Finally it occurred to the brother
that the pension department might
know where the Wanuerer was, and
a letter was sent to Washington in
November, seeking the information,
The reply came that one James W.
Edwards was on the rolls and that
his poStoffice was Globe, copper
miniag town of Arizona The next
mail carried a letter to the town
designated and it was rewarded
with reply in January.
IN the reply the exile stated he
was living up the gulch from Globe
and had some claims there which
he hoped would yield a high per.
centage of copper when developed

made rich strikes there and became
milliOnaireS, and to all appearance;
his claims were as good as theirs.

had been prospecting in the noun.
tainS about where Globe was for 81
years. He said he had not written
because all the time he had been
hopeful of making his strike, and
then he would return to Missour
and share with his family.
There was pathoS in the letter
the pathOs of hope long deferred
and yet the siren call Of the noun
tains was reckoning; he wou!C
strike it yet-just little ways on
it was sure there.
The letter was in terms of warn
affection, and with an earnest de
sire for another sight of the love-
one yet alive.
That letter was dated January
tn. Six days later the exile wa
dead. The last miSsive did no
reach George until another cam
from a friend with the sad infOrma
ton. The search of years had beef
rewarded by the irony of circum
stances, But the Missouri brothe
went out to see the place that haC
fascinated the miner for so man,
years, and to arrange for a suitabl
tombstone over his remains. H
looked carefully about the cav
house, with its few books and bar
furnishings; its meager comforts
and wondered how one so close t
him could have put up with sue
surroundings.
