Railway Assessment.

Railway Assessment.
Pierre.-The state assessment
board has completed the assessment
of railroads and the changes are very
slight from the valuations of last year,
merely readjustments since the date
of the last assessment, n slight
reductions in small lines in the Black
Hills, with a raise of $40 a mile on
the Northwestern line from Brookings
to Watertown to cover property not
heretofore assessed. This property is
a tract of eight acres in Brookings
county and has been owned by the
company as a gravel pit since 1904,
but never returned for assessment.
The board has instructed the county
auditor of Bookings county to
spread on his records a valuation OF
S74S against the company for each of
the years from 1904 to 1911 inclusive,
and made the increase on that branch
to cover that valuation for this year.
They also instructed the auditor of
Pennington county to spread a valua-
ton of $1,000 a mile on the line of the
Northwestern road from Rapid City
to Wasta for the year 1907, it appear
ing that so much of the line of that
road across the state was in operation
for that year, just as was the line
from this city to Midland. The line
to Midland was assessed for that
year, but the line to Wasta was not
included.

MISSION is SUBJECT OF CONCERN.
Coming Convention to Give the Indians
Special Attention.

Special Attention.
Aberdeen.-Aberdeen Baptists have
completed the preliminary arrang-
ments for the entertainment of be-
tween 800 and 400 delegates to the
state convention of the denomination.
which will assemble mere on october
8 and continue in session until Octo-
Der 10. The Rev. S. P. Shaw, of Sioux
Falls, is state superintendent of the
denomination, and John f. Schrader,
of Rapid City; Rev. Fred E. Stock
ton, of Madison, and j. H. Newly, of
Parker, are the vice presidents. j. j.
Allen, of Sioux Falls, is recording Sec
rotary and e. A.. Loomer, Of Mitchell,
is treasurer.
The convention will be welcomed to
Aberdeen by Mayor e. M. Hall. The
Rev. d. McMasters, pastor of the First
Baptist church, is in charge of the ar.
rangements for the convention, local.
ly, and the session will be held at
the church.
One of the features which will re-
ceive considerable consideration is
the situation in the missionary dis
trict of the Rosebud reservation II
try. The establishment of churches
in that territory has received a great
deal Of attention from Baptists of the
state. and during the poor crop years
ny of the charges were maintained
almost entirely from contributions
from the missionary fund. With good
crops this year the prospects are
much brighter.
Among the speakers who will attend
the convention are Rev. H. r. Best,
of Sioux Falls, and DR.. Stackhouse,
missionary secretary of the general
Baptist convention of Canada, who
will deliver three lectures. Rev, DR..
E. F. Jordan, president of Sioux Falls
college, is also expected. The Bap-
lists have 5000 communicates in
South Dakota, with 100 churches and
maintain Sioux Falls college, a strong
denomination educational institution.

Advocate Reforms in Prisons.

Pierre.-The Homeopaths OF the
state in their annual meeting at Madi-
son, adopted a resolution In which
they ask for the enactment Of a stat
ute requiring every institution in the
state which has to deal with confirm
ed criminals, idiots, imbeciles and
rapists, to appoint upon it's staff two
physicians of recognized ability, whose
duty it shall be in conjunction with
the chief physician of the institution,
to examine into the mental and physi-
cal condition of such inmates, and If
in the judgment Of the committee pro-
creation by such persons is deemed
inadvisable, n that there is no
chance for mental or physical improve
ment, it shall be lawful for the physi-
clan to perform such operation for
sterilization of such inmate as shall
be deemed safest and most effective.
They also recommend that no IL
cense for marriage shall be granted
where the proposed contracting par
ties are of unsound mind or where the
male has been within five years an in
mate of any home for INDECENT per-
sons; nor shall any license be issued
where the parties are afflicted with a
communicable disease.
Hotel inspectors Salary.
Pierre.-In his report to the gov
ernor, Hotel Inspector Weber shows
that it cost 1929 to maintain his de-
partment for the past two years. or
$5.25 less than the amount collected
from inspection fees. This item of
expense war largely discussed by n
of the candidates for governor at the
primaries as a terrible drain on the
state treasury. Six arrests under the
special statute had to be made. chiefly
for failure to provide proper fire es-
capes. This defect a remedied i'm
mediately after each fine, and it is re-
ported that most hotels are well sup
piled in this particular, though there
is room for improvement in a sanitary
line in many. The condition of a large
number OF school buildings was ex-
amined. chiefly through correspond
ence; and all public buildings inspect
ed as provided by statute-this at a
cost Of about $500, which was paid
from the departments fees. rather
than from the state treasury. A num-
Der of remedial measures were advo-
Gated for legislative enactment.

Play Ball.

The best batterS are continual
ly passed Intentionally nowadays
"a purely accidental develop
ment of the rules, never con-
templated when they were made.
The practice INJURIES the sport.
1t deprives the spectators of
some of the hest features of the
game, and it gives the pitcher an
advantage for which he makes no
adequate payment. The ideal
pitcher, like Mathewson, seldom
or never does it, but it is becom-
ing more and more frequent.
What do our readers think? TO
our own mind, it ought to cease.
1t would be easy to stop it. The
batter could be allowed to refuse
a base on balls when he chose,
or the umpire could refuse to
send him to base when he
judged the passing to be inten-
tional. If the umpire decided
it, a new element of skill would
be introduced. The pitcher,
instead of throwing the ball sew
eral feet outside the base, on
over the batter's head, as he
does now, would have to rely
on control, putting it only a few
inches out of position, in order
to prevent the umpire's penalty,
and this would also give the bat
ter a chance, if he chose, to hit
a ball not quite over the plate.
We venture to say that if this
change were urged at the next
meeting of either Of the big
leagues it would be adopted. Re
Gently Callahan of Chicago fined
his great pitcher Walsh for not
Obeying him when he gave the
signal to pass linn. Walsh has
been working for years to per-
feet a movement of the shout
ders which will deceive the base
runner without enabling the
umpire to call a balk. Callahan
has not fined him for that; nor
seriously, do we object to any
stragedy of the kind on the
part of the players, but we do
think the rules themselves should
be so drawn as to bring out all
the best qualities of the game.
President Lynch and President
johnson, we understand, would
favor a change, as do some play
ers, including Johnny Eyers of
the Cubs, not surpassed by any
body in strategy of the game
Golfers.

A Reader Cures His Constipation Try II Free

question that is put to them more Of
ten than any other, and which

difficult to answer. That is "How

DR.. Caldwell, an eminent specialist
