SOUTH DAKOTA
ALMOST WINNER
NERMILLION ELENEN HOLDS
MICHIGAN TEAM DOWN TO Z
TO & SCORE IN SATUR-
DAYS GAME.

feffy REID, Ann AfDOf, Mich
South Dakota came within an ace
of beating Michigan all hollow Sat
urday afternoon. For three fourths
of the game the husky westerners
outplayed our men and only the
speed of Jimmy Craig and a little bad
break in the luck prevented the Coy
attes leaving with the Wolverine
pelts.
Coyotes Score First.
South Dakota was the first ia
score and for about two hours it
looked very much as though it would
have a monopoly of the scoring
business. Two long forward passes
early in the second quarter, the last
a beauty from Colfey to Sheeks
put the Coyotes on the ten yard line
with a clear field and Sheeks made
the most of it. Unfortunately for
him, however, he was forced over in
the far southwestern orner OF the
lot and this gave Jimmie Craig d
chance to use his speed TIC spoil the
punt out.
South Dakota was unable to try
for goal, but their six points looked
as big as the Black Hills for the rest
of the afternoon. The fight and dash
displayed by the western line kept
Michigan on the defense nearly the
entire time until late in the last
quarter. nee an unlucky tumble after
a double pass on the Kickoff had en-
abled South Dakota to reach Mich
igan's Is yard line OH the very first
play, prevented the westerners from
:. a n,Jir q oyntJa. rA~rta1,dnyrp fC,. +Ib
trick completely surprised the Mich
igan team.
Michigan Rallies.
On another occasion Ferguson
tried Il drop kick from the forty yard
last quarter Michigan seemed to rally
and fought South Dakota down TO
the Is yard line only to lose it on
downs. Ferguson tried to punt aga
inst the wind but Jimmy Craig broke
through so fast that the South Da-
kota back had to hurry and kicked
high and outside two yards in adj
vance of the scrimmage line. From
there Michigan battered over for the
tying touchdown which patterson
converted into an easy goal, winning
one of the hardest fought games ever
played ON Ferry Field, by a score OF
I to s.
The work of Sheeks, Inlay. Coffey
and Meter stood out above that OF the
rest of the South Dakota team,
though the whole western line fought
like demons. Until the very finish
Michigan vas forced to resort TO
fakes in order to gain. South Dakota
played a fast tricky game and has
nothing to be ashamed of i nthe de
feat. Her ends outplayed Michigan
and her use of the forward passes
made Michigan rooters shake in their
shoes.
For the Wolverine cast Thomp-
son and Jimmy Craig We're the whole
works. T~hompson's punting was at
one stage of the game the only thing
that kept Michigan in the game.
The game was played OIL a soggy
slippery field that spoiled more than
one play for both teams. A snow
storm chased the crowd of ten thous-
and home as the game ended With
the final score, Michigan, Z; South
Dakota, 6.

Rapid City, S. D.-Members of the
Devers family, Frank and Emily, his
wife, and their o Guy, jumped into
tte spotlight of Pennington COUNT
Justice courts Friday and it was neal
midnight before their affairs were
Strengthened out. The Devers reside
on a ranch or the boundry line, be-
tween Meade and Pennington coun-
ties. Their n%eighbors own big herds
of stock but the returns of Sheriff
Hewett of this county and Sheriff
Collins of Meade county indicate that
fact caused the Security Savings
note for $500, which was secured by
stock Devers claimed he owned. The
charge was that Of obtaining money
under false %pretenses. When the
case was called before Judge Mint
ener, Deyers waived examination and
was bound over to the circuit court
under $3.50 bounds. In the meantime
he had paid the note except a ball
ance of $40.
The state had a dozen or more
witnesses to testify regarding Dew
ers' stock, all of them neighbors of
the defendant. AS the witnesses
filed out of the court room, Devers
called one of them, James Jeffries,
back and forthwith proceeded with
the assistance of his son to wallop
him. Mrs. Devers was SO excited that
she ran about the court con cream

out. Shoot them. XIII them ALL"
When the melee had quieted JET

Devers with assault and he was fined

court. This incident is but one chap.
ter in reign of terror that the Devers
have instituted among their neigh
bors.
Jeffries lost some cattle recently
and openly accused Devers of stealing
them. The two men met, and Devers
pulled a gun on Jeffries, who was
unarmed and threatened to kill him
if he did not retract what he had
said.
Ranchmen miss cattle, have their
barns burned and are subjected to
all sorts OF annoyance in the neigh
borhood where the Devers live.
Last winter the head of the house

by Judge Hughes in the circuit court
for selling beef without exhibiting
the hides of the animals killed.

This attitude was emphasized in a

The Turkish, proposal of peace is

AS regards foreign intervention

BY the decisive score at $50, Nit
chell high took Saturdays game from
Yankton high last Saturday after
noon and mounted one more step to-
ward the championship OF the state.
Yankton failed to get Il look-in from
the start. Mitchell's line was like a
stone wall and the visitors did not
once get a first down. A fine crowd
was out which was estimated at 500
people.
A detail report of the game fol-
lows:
Game was called at 1924 with

made seven yards and NJ. Green hit
the line for five more. ID. Smith made
six yards and Nordby got away for

then ran seven yards for a touch
down. The touchdown was made on
one corner of the field and ID. Smith
kicked out to Nordby who funbled.
Score Go.
Yapkton kicked to Kelly who re
turned the ball ten Yards. Nordby
made two yards and Kelly hit the

gain OF II yards and Kelly hit the
same place for a gain of ten more.
The ball was rapidly nearing the
Yankton goal when time was called
for the end Of the first quarter.

The second quarter was a repi-
tition of the first. The ball was i'll
Miichell's hands most OF the time and
constant gains were made until its
end, Three ~touchdowns were made
and three goals We're kicked by ID.
Smith. The score at the end OF the
first half a 27-0.
Second Half.
The third quarter opened with
several changes in Mitchell's line.
Rowley kickea Off and the ball rolled
over the goal line. The ball was
brought out to the 20 yard line but
Yankton again failed to gain and
punted to r. Smith. After playing
rapidly toward Yankton's goal, a for
ward pass to Kelly melted another
touchdown. Score SO, which it re
NAMED until the end of the quarter
In the last quarter, Yankton again
failed to gain and punted. Mitchell
rushed the bali down the field and by
means of the forward pass and line
smashes, Rowlay made another
touchdown and ID. Smith kicked goal.
Score 40. The feature of the game
now ACQUIRED when Nordby got away
for a fifty yard run for a touchdown.
d. Smith kicked goal which made the
score 4S-0, which is remained until
the end of the game.
The game was a good exhibition
of all kinds of football and the local
boys showed championship form from
start to finish. There was no letup
in their play and if the same spirit
is manifest when Sioux Falls is met
next Friday afternoon there can be
but one result of the game and that
will be a victory for Mitchell. The
lineup was as follows:

Congressman A. o. Stanley, of Ken
tucky, chairman of the committee of
the House of Representatives which
Investigated the Steel Trust, deserves
great credit for the systematic and
highly capable way in which he con-
Quoted the inquiry.
The cost of the entire investigation
was but S39, 900. This amount is IN
striking contrast to the cost of some
of the investigations under the Repub-
Iicans, notable that of the immlgra.
tion question at an expense to the peo-
pie of more than S60O,0 900.
MIR. Stanley saw to it that there was
no personal excursions or iunckets
with the money appropriated for the
probe of the steel corporation. He
was willing to spend money for all
necessary expenses, hut was careful
| that not a dollar was squandered.
1t will be recalled that the investi-
gators of the immigration question
spent their appropriations like water,
touring Europe in the most luxurious
style, visiting, at the governments ex-
pense, all the prominent places of IN
| terest. even jonrneying to the prya-
Emlds in Egypt.
Mr.. Stenley's name will go down in
history along with the masterful re-
port of his committee. and he and the
members of the committee who coop
Grated with him, deserve we'll in The
estimation of the American people fol
/ the work we'll done.

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Perkins Wealth.

George w. Perkins in the chair. .
This quotation Goes not refer to Mr..
Perkins in the chair at the Chicago
MUosefelt Convention. On the con-
trary, it is taken from the minutes OF
a meeting of the finance committee OF
the steel trust, held April 5, 1904, al
which it was decided that subsidiary
companies of the steel trust manufac-
turing half finished articles should
not sell same to the competitors of the
trust.
This is o2ly one of the revelations
contained in the report of the Stanley
Steel Trust investigating committee,
one of the most able and remarkable
documents of..,he decade. The Stanley
report. in addition to the indicting for.
mer President Roosevelt for premit-
ting the steel trust to obtain absolute
domination of the steel industry, re.
veals beyond successful contradiction
how Geroge w. Perkins came into pos.
session of the colossal fortune that he
is now spending to finance the Roose.
welt third term movement.
Here is the story of the Perkins
wealth: To start with, Mr.. Perkins
made some of his millionsIby caditaliz-
ing thin blue air into millions of dol
lars of real money. He made mere
millions by getting monopoly of..wire
nail manufacturing plants and forcing
the American farmers--to pay $3.50 per
keg for nails for which they formerly
had paid for from ::$1.25 to $l.5O per
keg. Then he made more by forcing
the thousands of workers in the blast
furnaces ut his steel mills to work IL
hours a day, seven days a week, and
365 days year.
AS postscript to the above infor-
nation, the following history of Mr..
Perkins may be of interest to many at
this time: Mr. Perkins was the chief
aid and co-schemer of J. PIerpont
Morgan while ,Le latter was in the
ysars betAeen 1900 and 1911 thrott-
ling business in everv direction. 1t
was Perkins who as Mcrgan's business
partner showed Morgan how to domi-
nate the boards of directors of all the
great railroads. banks and trust COM
paDies. express. telephone and tele-
surance companies, and all the great
industrial trusts. to the end that Nor
gan now has a strangle hold on a cor
porate wealth Of over $50, ,0O0, 600, 900,
an amount equal to one third of the

| Among the numerous plans suggest

the conditions most favorable TO in
sects like the chinch-bugs, such as
drought, are least favorab' TO their
fungus parasites.
Yet it is remarked that the chinch-
bug becomes troublesome and remains
so without regard fer weather condi-
tions, whenever its enemies are not at
hand. fact showing that it is affected
by the weather only Indirectly; that,
in other words, the weather controls
| it by controlling the numbers of its
parasites. If the parasites are rot
present in locality the chinch-bug
simply luxuriates until they appear,
and it is with this thought in mind
! that the Entomologist and Botanist of
| the Kentucky station has made prepa-
rations to furnish Kentucky farmers
with cultures Of the white fungus for
use against chinch-bugs.
IL the bugs are present in corn fields
even In small numbers it may be we'll
to establish the fungus there as a pre-
caution against further increase in
their numbers. though j will be found
easier to set 1t at work where large
supply of bugs can be secured at one
time. Judging by recent complaints
OF injury to corn, Grant, Gallatin, and
Henry counties offer an excellent field
in which to test the white fungus.
Directions for using the fungus will
accom- oany each package sent out from
the Station. Those wishing to give
it trial should write to H. Garman,
Kentucky Experiment Station, Lexing-
ton, Ky.
The fungus will be furnished free as
long as the supply holds out and with
the understanding that it is not guar
anteed to "catch'. This may depend
as explained on conditions, and upon
the care with which directions are fol-
lowed
