An Outsiders View.

The following in reference to
the court house proposition to
come before the people of the
county at the polls next month,
appeared in the Summit Inde-
pendent a short time ago and we
present it as the view of an out
slider who is not directly inter
eSted
county about building a new court
house and taking vote on the prop
osition this fall. The question was
voted upon seven years ago, and as
we remember was defeated by about
100. At the time it was voted on
Grant county had something like
$50. 600 worth of bonds outstanding
and the people We're not in as good
condition financially as at present.
While the Independent is Roberts
county paper and the question OF
court house in Grant county does not
concern it directly, it has a larger
circulation in the reservation towns
than any other paper, and for the
benefit OF its readers it will feel at
llDcIty W IIldhe d lev COIlIlGuIo IlOulu
occasion require.
That the present court house is a
disgrace to the county is generally y
acknowledged and that substantial
court house would reflect credit upon
the county besides giving the county
officials a decent place to do business
in, does not need any discussion. We
understand the county will be out OF
debt this fall, SO it could sell bonds at
a low rate and the interest on the
bonds would be so small an item that
no taxpayer would notice it. Farm
ers have improved their farms and
added better buildings. The people
in towns have built better houses and
improved their premises and all the
towns in Grant county have improved
their streets and made various public
Improvements. In fact everything in
Grant county has gone ahead and
left the old court house stranded
high and dry as relic of past age.
There is no more argument in the
claim that Milbank would benefit by
it than there is in an argument that
Washington would benefit by any new
public building. The whole question
is whether the county needs it and
whether they can afford it. We can
conceive but one answer to these ques-
tiOnS.

A County Question.
Is 1T food Business Policy to Longer
Delay the Proper Protection
Of County Property.

Ed. Herald-Advance: AS you
have asked me personally re-
garding the court house bond
proposition | will say that l can
say little that has not been said
by myself and others regarding
same. 1t is a public question
before the electors of this coun-
ty, and | belive pretty well un
derstood, and | think will be
considered from the basis of
whether the county needs new
court house or not. The fact
if the bonds are authorized the
court house will be built in Mil
bank, is not significant, as it
could not be built any other
place unless the county seat was
changed Of course a new court
house would be a nice improve
ment to Milbank, but that is not
the question at issue at all The
question is, does the county need
AAOA = oIIu OCUUCI dCCOul llOOdUlOlkS
than it now has? We have three
officers occupying offices up
town at rental expense to the
county. They should be at the
court oouse, but cannot be there
on account of lack of room. Be-
sides the public records are pub
lie property, and the question is
does the present accommoda
tions protect such public proper
ty against loss, and if so how
long will such accommodations
be adequate. These are things
that the elector should consider
from the standpoint of the best
interest of the public, and then
cast his ballot according to his
best judgment, without bias or
individual inte lest.
Respectfully,
c.. S. AMSDEN.

A Farewell Reception
Given Rev. and Mrs. j. N. Tibbetts at
the Home of Mrs. Il. w. Prevey

The Methodist people held a
reception last Tuesday evening
at the home of Mrs. G. w. Pre-
vey, in honor of Rev. and Mrs.
J. M. Tlbbetts, who have been in
charge here for the past two
years, recently appointed to the
the charge at Deadwood, and
who left yesterday for that city.
The occasion was made more en-
joyable by the fact that the date
was the 18th anniversary of the
wedding of Mr.. and Mrs. Tib-
belts. Some 125 guests were
present, and during the evening
a short program was rendered,
consisting of a song by Mrs. G.
E. Mills, recitation by Bernice
Rawson. and song by Mrs. VIM
Schneider, after which Mrs, J.

chest of silverware as an ami
versary present, and Miss Dee
Hall, on behalf of Mrs. Tibbetts
Sunday school class presented
their teacher with a souvenier
spoon. Mr.. and Mrs. Tibbetts
responded to the presentations,
the former giving a review of
his married life, and also of
his two years pastorate in
this city and expressed his
regrets at having to part with
SO many good friends as he had
found in Mllbank. Ice cream
and cake were served before the
friends dispersed.

Restaurant Changes Hands

The Palm restaurant this week
was sold to Messrs. Ed. Johnson
and Elof Johnson, and they have
taken possession of the same.
Miss Malisch, the former pro-
prietor of the Palm has been in
the restaurant business for the
past twenty-five years, and her
continued i'll health of late has
compelled her to give up the re.
sponsibility and seek a rest to
restore her health. The new
proprietors are good business
men and intend to make the res
taurant, which they have renam-
ed "The Yellowstone Trail" the
popular place of the city.

Foot Ball Game
Milbank High defeats SissetOn h'Rn
IN inc latters field Saturday last

The foot ball team of the high
school played their second game on
Saturday, and managed to win
hard contest from Slsseton. Inc
bows had evidently prohted by the
game with Ortonville last week ana
Showed that they conld not only
nse the forward pass but also that
they could break up this play.
Sisseton tried the pass repeatedly
only to find that a Milbank prayer
was in the way to intercept the pail !:
Milbank seemed to have the best OF
their opponents at all stages OF tne
game and her goal line was never IN
Serious danger. The M. H. 5. line
held to their work. Sisseton was de-
pending largely on line shift and
massed interference, but good work
Of the men in Mllbank's line prevent
ed consistent gains from this lorna
ton. Knight, the Sisseton fulloack
was without doubt the best GROUND
gamer for his team. but Houde the
Sisseton captain showed MS team q
good fighing spirit which never let
UP till time was called.
For Milbank the ends and back
field made most OF the gains ana II
would be hard TO select any one man
who out played his team mates. Wells
at quarter showed good generalshlp
and mixed the plays so that ne kept
Sisseton constantly guessing capt.
Bleser, Bagdons, Bingham ana fen,
ner ali did their share OF .grouudl
gaining especially with the forward
pass. Mitchell is to be given great
credit for the accuracy OF his passing
as we'll as for great number OF sue
cessful runs. The fact that the
Slsseton tacklers found him hard
man 10 stop accounts IN large
measure for the success OF the team.
The team played hard from starr 70
finish but the game was clean one
both teams showing a true sportman-
like spirit. Only three fouls were
called in the game and these were lor
of side play The officials and spec,
tators we're equally satisfactory ana
at no time was there dispute over
dicision. nor were the players handl-
capped by a crowd on the nelo.
Coach Hill and the team were more
than pleased with the treatment re-
ceived and had they lost the game
under such conditions would feel as
well satisfied.

them in the rear of the First

BANQUET THE PLAYERS

The foot ball team had a double
pleasure in the trip to Sisseton. NOT
only were the Milbank players per-
mitted to win the game but at slX @
clock they were banqueted by the
girls Of the classes OF ]9lo ane 1910
and the teachers of Sisseton High.
The affair was most delightful one
in every way. Forty one were seated
at the tables and the following menu
was served by the charming hostesses
Fruit Salad, Tomato Bisque, Fried
Chicken, Creamed potatoes. Cabbage
Salad, Pickles, Olives, Orange Tritfle
White Cake, Fruit Cake, Coffee.
The service and menu seemed per-
feet and the boys certainly did justice
to the feast that had been so generous
ly provided. 1t is no small undertak'
ing to feed two hungry foot ball teams
and the Sisseton girls and their
teachers proved that they were more
than equal to the task, for not only
=
but the quality was the finest.
After the teams had finished the
banquet Supt. Guthrie as toastmas
ter called on a number for short
talks. Capt. Bleser and full back
Knight spoke on behalf OF the two
teams. Coach Griesemer and Coach
Hill told their side of the story, Supt

Railroad Accident.
Cars Run Oyer Man on Side-Track
and Victim Dies.

Another case of too much
booze, resulting in the death of
another victim in King Alcohol s
campaign, was presented to
view last Tuesday morning,
when some of the night force at
the round house heard moaning
near the Rawsou coal shed about
five O'Clock in the morning. On
investigating a man was found
lying by the side of the track
next to the coal house with his
right arm crushed and nearly
severd from the body.
The accident, it is supposed
occurred when the Sisseton
train came in Monday evening
about 10 O'Clock, and the passen-
ger and baggage car was pushed
on the side-track, where they
are usually placed till morning.
Three box cars were standing on
the track, and from the blood on
the rails and on the wheels it
would appear the man must
have been where the middle car
caught him when the other cars
were pushed against the box
cars, and the supposition is that
he was lying asleep or in a drum
ken stupor, somewhere about
the cars when they were pushed
back on him. The injured man
was taken to DR.. Ferguson's Of
flee, where restoratives were ad.
ministered by Drs. Ferguson
and Flett, with the hope of pos
sibly dressing the wounds and
saving the mans life, but as he
had been bleeding all night, and
was weakened from exposure
and loss of blood, he was too far
gone, and died about 9 a. m.
He had on his person when he
was picked up, S54.95 in cash, a
ticket from Webster to Granite
Falls, couple of apples and two
bottles of whiskey. AS near as
can be learned the man had got
ten off the afternoon east-bound
flyer at about 5 o'clock, he being
advised by the conductor that
the train did not stop at Granite,
and should have taken the mid
night local from here. He had
been in one of the saloons in the
early evening. and had purchas-
ed a bottle Of Whiskey, paying a
five dollar bill for it, and on re-
celvlng his change asked a by
stander if the amount was cor
rect. He had been noticed on
the street in maudlin condition
during the evening, and was last
seen vending his way toward
the depot. After being taken
to the doctors office he was con-
scious long enough to state that
his name was George Dobson,
that he had been working with a
threshing crew near Webster:
that his home was at keokuk,
Iowa, where his sister, Mrs.
Riley, was living. It was to this
address inquiries were made as
to the disposition of the body
and in respone to directions
from there the remains were
shipped to keokuk for burial.

WAR sLor1eD OUT HuMoa


War, being founded as Goethe said
on hatred, necessarily tends to blot
out humor. This is what those must
bear in mind who lament the coarsen-
ing and vulgarizing which have come
over the comic papers of England,
France and Germany. In their
dealings with the great conflict, light
ness Of touch disappears and all that
we get is a series Of brutal strokes.
One feels it in Punch. Its carica-
lures Of Emperor William seem as if
hacked out by the sword, and leave
him little human semblance. SINH
larly in the German paper, Ulk, the
cartoons depicting French and Eng
lish have a bestial quality. At them
one rather shoulders than laughs.
Their designers are evidently filed
With rage and fear, making the artis-
tic result terrible, perhaps, but never
amusing.
This extinguishing by the war Of
good-natured raillery and really
witty Characterization and attack,
among the peoples involved, was in
evitable. In way, it is good sign.
1t helps us to understand what war
truly is. Only when we become cal
lous to its fearful aspects is it pos
sible to jest about it. Still, it is
rather a pity to see the humorists
across the sea suddenly turn vitriolic.
