Teachers Institute.

On Monday, July 10Th the
Teachers Normal Institute begins
its session in the school house in
Cheyenne Wells, continuing two
weeks. A corps of good instruct
ors has been chosen to carry on
the work. some of which are
well known to many of the teach
ers of the three counties of the
district. The instruction will be
first class and of great benefit to
active teachers and especially to
those who contemplate teaching.
A credit of five percent on the
average will be given those in
perfect attendance during the
entire session. As there is a
possibility of this being our last
institute at this place and in the
present Normal District, we
would like to make it a banner
year, both as to work and en-
thusiasm and as to attendance a
number of lecturers and evening
entertainments have bee n
planned, among which are lect-
ures by Prof. w. B. Mooney,

announced at general assembly
in the morning. As interest in

body help to make this a success
with their presence and help.
On the evening of the 29th

cordially invited. Come and get
acquainted with the teachers and

Wild Horse for County Clerk and
Recorded of Cheyenne county.
Mr.. Hanson is not seeking this
Office, but the office is seeking
him. Solicitations from promi-
nent democrats of the county
failed to arouse him, but when
personal solicitations from prom
inent republicans and socialists
began to reach him, he consented
to the admonitions of his friends
and accepted the call. This is an
instance Of the Office seeking the
man, and not the man seeking
the Office. Mr.. Hanson is a dem
ocrat whose party principle is far
beyond the reach of the selfish
interests that are trying so hard
to control the county Offices. He
is the most talked of man for
Office in the county. Beyond the
reach of the interests that are
fighting with their dying breath
to retain control of the county
money, so the people can be
grated, he is the most necessary
and generally desired candidate
for Office in the interest of the
people that is in the public mind.
Born of a spirit that defies
temptation, a virtue that defies
pretense, and an honor that de-
mands respect, Ed Hanson is by
far the most popular candidate
with all of the people in all par
ties in Cheyenne county and is
every day referred to as a man
that can not be influenced or con-
trolled.

Duluth. May 3O.-The league lead
ers were forced to bow in respect to
King Wilson, leader of the tribe of
Dacotahs pitching staff, yesterday aft
ernoon. in the opening game of the
the game was n of the best exhibit
tions of the national pastime seen here
in a long time.
Rothermel opened the game for the
visitors. but was relieved by Wilson in
the first inning. Rothermel. who
pitched a fine game in the Fork, soon
after his arrival in that city to Join
the D%acotahs, caught a cold in the
northern country n was really not in
shape for his usual amount of good
throwing yesterday. He will be used
later. in the visiting games.
Wilson pitched an excellent game.
His work made a hit with the Duluth
fans and a crowd in the grand stand
started yelling. I'VE want him on our
club" Wilson seemed to think this
a great joke n worked all the hard
er. According to Manager Lohr Of the
Dacotahs, Wilson's throwing yesterday
was far ahead of anything he has put
up in other games. He was speedier
and his curves We're a great deal more
puzzling.
In the seventh inning Wilson proved
a near-sensation when. with II man
on. he struck out the next three bat
tiers. The crowd gave him a big send
off. Wilson struck out six men dur
ing the close contest. while Bob Wor-
who was facing the visitors. sue
ceeded in getting five strike outs. Will
son allowed one man ia walk. The
heavy sluggers of the White SoX crew
touched him up for six hits. The
visitors landed on Woman for seven
hits.
The team that represented Grand
Forks in yesterdays contest could
hardly he compared to the bunch that
made the circuit at the opening of the
season. The club has been strengthen
ed in weak spots and the men are
working together. The efforts of the
infield were particularly pleasing.
Donovan. DeHaven. Bell and Van
Dine were credited with two-base hits.

COLLEGE
BEATS AGG|ES
Hilltoppers Take Another
Game and Win State
Championship.

Fargo. May 3O.-Fargo college took
the state baseball championship title
from the Aggies yesterday by a score
of 2 to ! in the best college game Of
baseball that has been played in Far
go for a number of years. Bently for
the Aggies had it over Forth in that
he only walked two men to Fortin's
tin S seven. Both men were cool, how
ever and pulled themselves out of a
good many tight places.
n Pitchers Battle.
The work of the pitchers was the
feature of the first four innings, but
in the first of the fifth with two men
out Slingsby found a single and it was
followed by a pretty three Dagger by
Catlin which brought Slinssby home
and tackled up the first horseshoe for
Fargo college. Then a lapse followed
and in the first. of the sixth Drum
mond found another of Bentlys spit
balls. put it over the cattle barn and
too three bases. Then frost was put
on a fly and Forth won his own
game by a little hunt to Bently who
threw home, but too late to catch
Drummond and Fargo college made
another score. Forth managed to
reach third but Lawrence struck out
and the side was retired.
.AShln SONIC
The fire works started again in the
last of the eighth when Hansen for
the Aggies put a hot one down to
Drummond who made a bad throw to
ilrst; then Calkins was put out on a
bunt and Forth walked Wirtenberger
to first. Rreyer struck out and Foss
came to bat with two men on bases.
Foss got w strikes and three balls
and the excitement was intense when
he made another strike but got to first
base before the ball. Parizek came to
bat with three men on bases and two
men out. Here Forth was in a pinch
but he kept his head fairly we'll and
threw over Il strike. This he followed
by three balls and then threw another
strike making about the most critical
of situations with three men on bases
two men out and Il mar at bat with
two strikes and three balls and the
score , to 0 in favor of Fargo college.
His next n was a ball and he walk
ed the only score for the Aggies.
The Troubles Of Grant.
Then Grant came to bat and Wir-
tenberger ran home on a passed ball
but the umpire made him return to his
base despite the protests of Captain
Foss. With two strikes on Grant, For
tin hit him in the back with The ball
anu tHe uiiiplIe dsdlH refused 10 allow
the mar to take his base. saying he did
not try to get out of the way. The
crowd nearly went wild as Grant again
came to bat and put a high n out to
center field while everyone held their
breath and the ball was strangled by
Lawrence.
Ninth Goes Fast.
The ninth inning went fast as the
men were put out in n two. three Or
der. But the fans went home with a
feeling as of having witnessed one of
the most exciting games of their lives.
This leaves the championship to
Fargo college. although they still have
one game to play.
The umpire was James Boyle of
jamestown.
