wife of Chas. F. Hackett whose NOM
ination to the Parker Office was re-
jected at the last session of the SEN

Senator Gamble charged that
Hackett was personally obnox-
ious." The appointment of Hack
EFT was recommended by Represen-
tatives Burke and Martin. Upon
the rejection of the nomination the
representatives Endorsed Mrs. Hack
EFT.
Friends of Senator Gamble say
that with Mrs. Hackett in charge of
the Parker postofice Hackett would
virtually be in control. According
ly, Senator Gamble will fight the new
nomination and this means it will be
rejected.

MITCHELL IN LEAGUE;
WILL HAVE PAID TEAM
MITCHELL WILL BE ONE OF THE
SIX TEAMS IN BUSH LEAGUE
OF THE STATE-STARTS
MAY 20.

The promoters of the baseball
team in this city had until Thursday
evening at 6 o'clock to reach a de-
cision whether they would join the
bush league in this state. During
the day they made the rounds among
as many business men as possible TO
make the guarantee list as large as
possible, and by 6 O'Clock they fig
ured that enough had been raised
which would warrant them in wiring
to the president at Redield that Nit
chell could be counted as one of the
teams-that hour being the limit
when Mitchell could get in.
The soliciting committee did not
see all the business men but they felt
assured with what they had on the
list that the others would not see the
project fail. AT the recent meet
ing in Huron, all the teams voted
unanimously for Mitchell. and
against several other towns which
wanted a berth in the league.
Thursday evening Otto Fault,
who has been n of the strong sup
porters of the baseball scheme. de-
parted via the Milwaukee for Iowa
points to pick up the men to consti-
tute the team. He is vel! acquaint-
ed among the players down there and
will be able tn land some pond men.
Walter Nolt will start the work
on putting the grounds in condition
next Monday to have them in readi-
ness for proctice games before the
season opens, which is to be May 20,
thereabouts.
At the Huron meeting, it was
unanimously agreed upon between
the managers that Sunday baseball

SEPARATION DAY

Webster, S. D.-The Scandinavians
of Webster and Day county have
started a movement looking towards
an extensive celebration June z next.
South Dakota and this part Of the
state in particular, has a large per-
centage of these people. and they
feel that the event is one that Is
worthy Of commemoration. The
,Swede as we'll as the Norwegian
takes pride in looking back upon the
history connected with the events
eliminating on this date. What took
place then proved that this people
had advanced in point OF civilization
to the extent that 1t was possible
without the sacrifice Of lives, the she'd
ding Of blood, the destruction of
property and the roar of cannon for
two great nations to settle their dis
putes. These people in form sever
ed their political and governmental
connections, but by doing 10 they. in
fact. developed for one another a
greater respect and warmerly BROTH
erly feeling than eve previously ex-
perienced.
Committees have been selected
with a view to taking care Of the
various features Of the proposed cell
ebration. The program will con-
sist Of addresses in English, Swed-
.ish and Norwegian. There will also
be ample provisions for music. Pop
ular sport will also be amply pro-
.vided for. The plan Is to have q
celebration for the entire northeast
ern part Of the state. From indica-
lions It is safe to say that the gather
ing will be q large and enthusiastic
one. Further details as to plans,
program. ETC., will be made known
later.

est speakers. and that he was famed
the country over Tor the speeches
tina, he made. MIR. Keith spent
nearly four years at oberlin. from
1870 on. Later in his life he spent
much time over in Illinois and was
one of the old time travelling men,
having spent about fifteen or twenty
years on the road.
He travelled in the vicinity of
Springfield, ILL.,, and often had the
pleasure Of seeing Abraham Lincoln
in his travels. Mr.. Keith said he
recalled having attended a mass con-
vention at which Lincoln delivered
an address just before he became
president of the United States for
his first term. Mr.. Keith, in the days
that he was a travelling man, found
things much different in that line of
business than the travelling man of
this period, which. he considers is
something of a soft snap. After leav-
ing the road he engaged in the boot
and shoe business and followed that
line OF business for a great many
years.
Mr.. Keithts present health is very
good, and shows much strength and
vigor and a happy disposition in the
latter period of his life. Even at his
age he says he finds much in life that
is pleasing, and after coming down
the long succession of years, he said
he was glad to have lived during the
present progressive age, and that it
is wonderful in comparison to the
period when he was a young man.
