Tuesday afternoon a special freight

manufactured by the Rumley Manufac-
turing company passed through Web
ster. Small handbills were printed and
circulated and quite a number of Web
ster people were down at the station to
meet the train and examine the differ

by an Aberdeen band of twelve
pieces and a street concert of very good
music was given while the train was
waiting which was very much
enjoyed by all. We would offer a word
of advice t other machine companies
who intend to make exhibitions of this
kind. The people they desire to reach
are the farmers and it would be well
for them to learn the date of the trains
arrival at stations sufficiently long in
advance to permit a notice tobe printed
in the newspapers along the line and
then the farmers would get into the
towns and look over the exhibits and
also share the band concerts with the
townspeople.

Hail and Wind

The Pennington correspondent of the
Pierpont Signal OF last week said: 1.-TWO
of the most fearful and disastrous storms
which have visited Pennington for years
swept through here Sunday afternoon
and Monday evening. The first storm
assumed the form of hail, measuring
from the size of marbles to five inches
in circumference The big ones were
generous, and the largest that eyer
struck Pennington. If they had been
accompanied by a high wind not a spear
of grain would have been left to ripen.
Southeastern Pennington escaped with
estimated loss of one-sixth, while
the central, western and all of northern
lost from one-third to one
half, and some quarters are reported to
be totally destroyed. Lightning also had
a bad share in the storm. W.. N. Whal-
ems big barn was struck, and while it
did not start a blaze it wrecked the
building badly. Other barns throughout
Pennington were twisted by the awful
wind which accompanied the heavy rain
of Monday evening, but we have not
yet received a complete report.

BASE BALL GAME

Seven Innings Agreed Upon but

Won by a Score of One
to sect SomeV

The first of a series of fast base ball
game which are to be played in this city
was enacted on the Day County Agri-
cultural Fair grounds in front of a small
crowd last Sunday.
The game was advertised to be called
at 2:30. and the Bradley boys expected
to come over by automobiles leaving
there after dinner. When the time came
to depart it was raining in Bradley and
the boys believing that probably the
rain was general delayed in starting. A
telephone message to this city took
information that it was not raining here
so the team and a few enthusiastic fans
came up. They arrived here about four
o'clock. AS the hour was late it was
decided to play but seven innings.
Those who went over to the grounds
early in the afternoon, at the time the
game was scheduled in the advertising
matter to begin, say that many left the
grounds before the Bradley boys arrived
believing that they were not coming.
Those who did remain were treated to a
splendid exhibition of the great Ameri-
a game and should Bradley come
again the crowd would be a record
breaker. Despite the cold there were
many excellent plays and very little
kicking. The end of the seventh inning
found the score tied and the eighth was
staged. In Bradley's first half no scores
were made. With two men put in their
half Webster succeeded in getting R.
Cooper across the home plate winning
the game.

Old Man in New Place

We do not mean by that he is an old
man in years as goes-perish the
thought. But he is an old man in
experience in the new position he has
accepted. We refer to j. v. Martin,
who has accepted a position as chief
of police of Butler and went to that
city Tuesday morning to begin his
duties. "Jack" as he is Familiarity
known to most Webster people, was
chief of our police for many years and
during such time vas always looked
upon as a model officer by most of our
citizens and the order he preserved at
all times was evidence that he was
respected and feared by the class that
usually make trouble in cities of this
size at certain times of the year and
this class gave Webster a wide berth
during the time Jack was on our police
force or were on exceptionally good
behavior during their visits here. We
congratulate Butler on securing him.

STARTS FIRE

Almost Immediately

Shortly after the passing of the heavy
thunder and lightning storm of last Fri
day night and when the streets were
reeking with mud, the fire alarm was
sounded, a blaze having been discovered
in the top of the coupalo of the Bagley
elevator. AS it was only about ten
o'clock it was but a short time until all
the fire apparatus of the city was on
the grounds and ready to do business
and the fact that it was in one of the
large elevators the people remembering
the elevator fires of former years they
were out in a body to assist. But
this time very fortunately their assis-
lance was not needed as the blaze was
discovered and extinguished before it
had got as much as a fair start and the
damage done will not reach 500. That
is the damage done to the elevator.
Owing to the run down through the
mud we have heard several of the fire
boys mourning because of the loss of
the suit of clothes worn upon the occa-
sion. Such is the fortune-or fate-of
all members of volunteer fire depart
ments. Webster can indeed congratu-
late herself upon an escape from a bad

cessful as a Banker-His
Death was Unexpected

A. M. Knight, a business man of Sis

thought serious until the day preceding
his death when his wife and son were

SITUATION SOME TANGLED
Delegation Goes East and Will
Confer With Chairman Hilles
in New York

Whether the regular republicans OF
South Dakota will put into the field
this year a set of Taft presidential
electors and, in addition, nominate a
regular state ticket, will depend on a
conference which will be held tomsr-
row or Friday in New York between
Chairman Hilles of the republican
national committee; and a company of
South Dakota regular republicans, who
have come east for the purpose of
securing advice regarding the mixed
political Situation in their state.
The South Dakota delegation of four
arrived in Washington this morning,
and at 1920 were taken to the execu-
tive Office by Senator Gamble and Rep
resentative Burke. The South Dako-
tans spent half an hour with President
Taft, who gave them a letter of intro
duction to Chairman Hilles, and
assured them that he was full of fight
and wanted no compromise with the
third party.
At 800 p. m, the delegation
started for New York. 1t was COM
posed of j. C. Simmons, of Aberdeen,
chairman of the Taft committee dur
ing the recent primary fight; Chambers
Kellar, of Lead; j. A. Chase, of Bone
steel and George A. Jeffries, of Dallas.
These men have paid their own expen-
ses to come east and they told the
president today that they had come at
the earnest request of South Dakota
republicans who resent the present
situation in that state, whereby presi-
Dental electors chosen at the repub-
lican state convention are known to be
personally for Roosevelt, and, it is
believed, will vote for him if they are
elected in November.
The situation would be simplified
somewhat if the candidates for electors
would declare themselves, which they
have not yet seer fit to do. The whole
matter will be threshed out on Friday,
in New York, and some line of conduct
agreed to.
1t is believed in the end that the
Taft republicans in South Dakota will
have their own candidates for electors.
At least that was the drift of the talk

Why Rent Farms

This is a question every man should
ask himself. You car do much better
working for yourself. There is nothing
in renting on shares in the long run. A
tenants share will just about keep him
and his family-if the family is not too
large. Your a buy good farms in
crop payments, the share you would
give as rental would be just applied on
the purchase price of a farm and in a
few years you would have a farm Of
your own while the tenant would still
be making crop payments on the other
fellows land. Pierce & Ravens have
some very choice North Dakota farms
which they are offering on the crop pay
ment plan and any renter is not awake
to his own interests who does not look
them up and take advantage of one Of
these fine opportunities to own a farm
of his own and at regular tenant terms.
This is not hot air but a bona fide business
proposition. Look int it, Mr.. Renter.
