RAPID CITY PEOPLE HAyEPICNIC
in HOT SPRINGS.
OVER 400 WERE in PARTY
TOOK IN PLUNGES and OTHER PLACES
OF AMUSEMENT..RAPlD WON
THE BALL GAME,

A special train of four coaches and a
baggage car arrived in this city Sun.
dar morning at about 1890 from Rapid
City with members of the Elks lodge.
their families and friends on board to
spend the day picnicing at the National
Health Resort. About four hundred
took advantage Of this excursion.
AS soon as the coaches were emptied
the picnjcers formed in line at the
depot and headed by the Elks band
marched down River Avenue and back
to the Evans where the band gave a
concert until the noon hour. After
dinner the crowd dispersed, some
going to the plunges, others Sightseeing
while the majority of the base ball fans
went out to the ball park and cheered
their team to victory. With such
bunch of loyal rooters as came with
the Rapid City club, the local team
found it uphill work trying to defeat
the visitors and they themselves we're
finally swamped by score of II to 5.
After the game everybody who had
not already done SO, promptly visited
the plunges and were soon In the
water taking their apnusl dip. Each
Of the places did an exceptionally good
business during the afternoon and
evening and became even more popular
with the Rapid City people than ever
before.
After supper many visited the
National Sanitarium and listened to
the band concert by the Sanitarium
band and later another concert was
given down town by the Elks band.
Every minute of the time was taken up
during the afternoon and evening until
train time and at the time of their
departure many we're the expressions
Of pleasure at the enjoyable day they
had spent here.
The train left here on the return trip
at 9:l5 p. m. with tired but happy lot
of people whom we feel sure will be
more than pleased to visit this city
again at some future date. It is q
mortal certainty that the Hot Springs
people will be glad to welcome them
on the occasion of another visit as they
are among the finest lot of people that
this city has ever had the pleasure Of
entertaining within her gates.

BEEF CATTLE ARE SCARCE.
Stock Shipments From Dakota Ranges Will
Be Light This Year.


Be Light This Year.
Pierre, 8. D., July 26th.-While the
cattle shipping season is near. this does
not mean as much to the Western and
central part of South Dakota as 1t did
but few short years ago. In the
balmy days of. such shipments it was
no unusual thing for the Northwestern
road to send out 100 cars of live stock
in one day from this city, and even q
greater nomber from shipping points
in the Rlsok Hills section of the state.
Shipments of that number of cars
could be looked for at the end of prec-
tically any week through August,
September and October, with smaller
shipments starting any time after the
middle Of July, and the cleanup ship
ments in November of any year. But
this has all been changed by existing
conditions and the advance of settle.
ment. The shipments we're not mater
tally reduced in number of cars for
several years after the beginning of the
homestead movement, as the big com.
psnies we're forced to ship closer every
year by the crowding of their ranges,
and this, with the added fact that each
Of the homestesders attempted to. send
out a few head each year kept up the vol
ume. But last year, the short pastures
caused by drought, meant q general
clearing, and the cattle we're particu-
larly cleaned out of western South Da-
kota with the exception of milk COWS,
and the shipments in this year have
been principally of that class, resulting
in their being practically no beef cattle
to ship this year. In fact, the local
officials of the Northwestern road, who,
in the past years have been worried at
times to secure the cars when wanted
for shipments, are not likely to be
bothered any in that direction this
year, as they estimate that 500 csrs will
carry all they will be called upon to
handle, and they have no feeling of
worry in securing all the cars they will
need at any time to handle the stock to
go out.

At THE PORT

The American schooner Expansion,

in distress, has gone on the local ma

painting.
, Sugar is going into the American
Hawaiian freigater Missourian at a
rate that presages the departure of
that vessel for Salina Cruz, by way
Of Island ports, this evening.
Taking full cargo of supplies for
regulation ports on the Garden Is
land, the steamer w. G. Hall is to be
dispatched at o'clock this evening.
The Hall will carry a number of pas
sengers and consignment of mail.
At one hundred and twenty miles
from the port. the Matson Navigation
steamer Honolulan was reported

night. The Honolulan, en- route to
San Francisco, was meeting with
moderate trade winds and seas, with

GASOLINE ship
INLONG VOYAGE

LONDOE-The motor ship Selandia.
the first mechanically propelled pa
Cnger and cargo vessel to be independ-
ent OF steam power. has Just com2let-
eG her first round voyage to the rar
Fast. says the Evening Standard.
When she drew to her mornings in
the West India export dock her log
showed the completion, in round fig
ures, of 21,500 miles. In spite of the
fact that veSS ell embOdieS many new
principles and was strange TO her en-
giueers, only one slight adjustment of
the exhaust valves, involving fifteen
minutes rest for the engines. was
found necessary during the entire trip.
In all matters of fuel consumption,
ease of manuever. and general behav-
ior the yes sci far exceeded eXpeCta,
tons.
East of the Suez Canal the Selandta
occasioned great excitement among
the natives. The mystery surrounding
the absence of tunnels and sails re-
suited in her gaining the name of the
Devil Ship" and as, such she was
beralded from Singapore to Bangkok.
Great incredulity existed as to the
nature Of the vessel at first, even
among the naval officials Of one i'm
portant Eastern country. but this was
dispelled after a days cruise upon the
vessel.
The success Of the voyage has leu
the owner, the Danish East AsiatiC
Society, to order three other motor
ships of greater tonnage. A sister ship
recently completed was sold few
days ago to one Of the leading Ger.
man steamship companies.
Very few alterations in design are
suggested by the experience Of the
engineers on the maiden trip. The
principal Of these relate to the heat
radiated from the exhaust, which af-
fected the temperature of the engine
room. The trouble has been correct
ed on the Selahdia by the installation
o. supplementary fans and ventilators,
and will be avoided in future boats by
the natural cooling of the exhaust
chambers above decks.
The fuel consumption fell consider
ably below that estimated by the
builders.

DRUNKEN MOUSE
ROUTs ToM.CA1

NEW YORK, August Jimmy
Trant of the U. s. Grant bar is author.
ity for the most astounding story that
has come out of the big hotel since
first it opened He vouches for the
mouse face a Maltese tomcat and bluff
the feline "off the mat"
Trant's narrative states that he was
in the cellar Of the bar Saturday
morning on business errand when he
saw a mouse approach a spot where
little drop from a faulty spigOt was
moistening the concrete floor. The
holiness of the animal surprised him
and he paused to await developments.
Turning his muZzle uppermost the
mouse held his mouth open until the
gathering drop fell into it. 1t rolled
its eyes in evident satisfaction, after
about the cellar floor, from which
T"ant inferred that it had already had
several drinks. BY this time another
drop was about to fall, and the mouse
did a grizzly bear step to the barrel,
where it gathered in the falling liquor
with every expression of self-congrat-
ulation.
This was the cue for the arrival Of
the huge tomcat which prowls through
the cellar looking for rodent trespaEs-
ers. With a growl the cat sprang
forward, but the mouse. instead of re-
treating, reared himself on its hind
legs and looked the tomcat straight
in the eye.
The astonished Maltese stopped
short, glared for a moment in aston
ishment. and then. in an apologize
manner, probably learned from some
dog which he had unexpectedly claw
Ell in the eye, dropped his tail and
skunk out of the cellar.
The mouse watched the cat until it
disappeared and then, rolling over on
its side. fell into a drunken slumber.
