failed to get in a hit, but h S base
running is as sensational as ever. On
one occasion he walked, and then
stole second and third bases, in spite
of the fact that a foul made him go
back after he had third clearly
stolen. Fritz turned right around and
nipped the bag again right under
Lapp's very eyes. They say that Fritz
is more expert at sliding than Ty
Cobb. and his stunt of hitting the
dirt and coming up on his feet the
moment he touches the bag makes
his base running pretty spectacle.

Sweeney was on third base when
plate and Sweeney started back for
third base. Lapp threw the bali high
to Baker, but Barry was in a position
to make a quick recovery in short left
field. Sweeney started for the plate,
but Chance showed him back on third
base. The new rules says a player is
out on such a play, and Umpire
Evans, after apologizing to Chance,
waved Sweeney off the bag. Frank
admitted he pulled a bone, and looked
rather sheepish as he came in to the
bench after the inning was over.

Yanks Win Easily.

A suspicious individual seated at
the Polo Grounds yesterday after
noon, where the New York team got
away to dashing start, might have
thought, with some excuse fer his
mistake, that the official scoreboard
keeper had muddled things up lit
tie. Just about the time that the
sun was getting ready to knock off
for the day, the tally showed 10 runs
for the Philadelphia Nationals and 1
run for the Giants. Above that in
large white figures one might have
read: Yanks 8, Athletics 2. But the
seoreboard man was right on the
job and had made no mistakes. Right
before the eyes of the fifteen thou
sand fans gathered at the Polo
Grounds to see the American League
opening, the YanSs had batted and
battered the best two of Connie
Mack's young pitchers-Bush and
Boardman-had in stock. The Yanks
pummeled out thirteen hits and
there was not fiunky bingle in the
entire lot. Marty McHale, however.
-~eld the Athletics hitless for five and
wo-t thirds innings. and wound up
Fith only five bingles against him.

Bush Had No Curve Ball.

1t is not exaggeration to say that
the Yanks looked like the best ball
team New York has had since George
Stallings piloted the American
League outfit. They pulled all kinds
of stuff on the bases, making Schang
and Lapp look bushy, while Frank
Chance stood on the coaching line
as proudly as a peacock. With all
due respects to the Yanks, the Attn
letics showed their wonderful class
in spite of everything by holding to-
gether in remarkable form in spite of
the rain of base hits all around them.
Joe Bush was primarily responsible
for the defeat, because he did not
have good curve ball working and
the Yanks just punched the daylights
out of his fast one. 1t did not take
them long to discover that Bullet
joe was not right, for the Chance
crew piled up four runs in the very
first inning ON the cleanest kind of
hits.

The Houde Barn Burns

During the storm Saturday
afternoon lightning struck the
big barn of A. P. Houde who
lives just west of town and burn
ed it to the ground. Luckily the
folks were at home. They saved
the horses, a calf, a big new drill
and their car. Quite quantity
of hay and most of years oats,
a brand new wagon and a lot of
Mrs. Houde's chickens, together
with all the hand tools of the
farm burned with the barn.
About 20 automobile loads. all
the drays and several other
teams hurried to the scene and
offered help, but the barn was
beyond saving. Mr.. Houde was
lucky enough to have a small in
Surance.

Eden a Booming Town
Springs up Like Mushroom
In a Night or Two.

Magnus Stavig reports that on
Wednesday, the 10Th, he was at
the City of Eden, on the Veblen
railway. On that date stubble
field was all that could be seen.
The following Sunday Edwin
Stavig and Ole Tornes took an
auto ride out there and were
surprised to find bank building,
erected by Waubay parties, all
ready for business; a pool hall
nearly tinised, and the basement
almost completed over which a
general store is being built.
This is certainly going some.
Lots out there sold for more
than $1,000 and it is expected
that a good town will grow up
eventually.
1t is reported that the Citizens
bank people of this city have
bought a lot there and will build
another bank.

The Opening Of School

The Sisseton Public School
will open Monday, Sept. 7th. 1t
is particularly desirous that all
students make every effort to
enter the first day and continue
in regular attendance through
out the year. The student
who enters from several days to
several weeks late is not only
himself handicapped in his pro.
gress, but a hindrance to the
progress of the class.
There will be an informal pro-
gram the first Monday morning
in the High School Assembly
Room and all patrons and parents
who are intesested are cordially
invited to attend. This will be a
good time to come and get ac-
quainted with the new teachers
and renew acquaintance with the
old. 1t is we'll to be remembered
that to the IA teachers CONSTITUTE
ing the corps for the coming
year the school girls and boys of
the community will be entrusted
for a very large part of their
working hours during the next
nine months.
| would be glad if all persons
in the community who would
like to secure the service of a
school boy or girl in return for

their name and telephone number

That Gravel Pit Case
Will be Taken to the Supreme
Court for Settlement.

At the last term of circuit
court in this county the case Of
the f. & V. Ry. Co. VS.. Fred
Bethke attracted more than the
usual amount of interest. This
was the gravel pitt case in
which verdict of So 900 was rem
dered by the jury in favor of
Bethke. Not liking this verdict
the railroad people asked Judge
Bouck to set it aside in all mat
ters excepting as to the costs of
the case. These the company
would pay and at the same time
withdraw all claim to the land
under condemnation.
Arguments favoring this mo-
tion were made and decisions of
courts in other statse were point
ed out as authority for such a
contention. After due delibera
tion Judge Bouck denied the mo.
tion on the ground that the de
mand of the railroad people is in
conflict with a statutory provi
sion of this state. The railroad
company thereupon began ap.
peal proceedings to the supreme
court. AS the matter has never
before been up in this state, the
outcome will be awaited with
considerable interest. In word
the question at issue is, can 8
corporation take possession Of
property for its own use, begin
condemnation proceedings in
court and then withdraw because
the verdict is unsatisfactory.

Wheat Does Not Rust
North Dakota Farmer Has the
Kind to Raise.

The Hankinson News tells the
following story of a rust resis
tant wheat which is worth inves
tigating by other farmers who
are determined to continue in
the wheat raising business:
Three OR four years ago James
Murdock, a farmer near Wimble.
don, secured a bushel of what is
known as rust-reSistant wheat
from the State Agricultural Elk,
pertinent station at Fargo. This
bushel of wheat was sowed and
carefully guarded and the seed
again seeded until Mr.. Murdoch
has accumulated several thous-
and bushels of this rust resistant
wheat. 1t has no other name,
as far as known, and is a bearded
wheat. He sold to number of
farlp pers in his vicinity seed of
this wheat and this spring they
planted it. The result is that a
number of crops of rust proof
wheat are seen surrounded by
other kinds of grain, showing the
blighted effects of rust. Last
year Mr.. Murdoch is reported to
have averaged % bushels to the
acre of this rust resistantvariety
and IA bushels of bluestem. The
former wheat brought in the
market a price of two cents less
than No. Northern. The wheat
was heavy, firm stiff stalk, grows
thick and strong, ard the farm.
ers who have been lucky enough
to use the seed this year feel we'll
pleased at the result and all re-
port the same success. 1t is
much better wheat this year than
the celebrated Marquis wheat.

Union Services

The church services last Sun.
day were decidedly of union
order. The Methodists and the
Presbyterians worshiped to-
gether in the morning at the
Presbyterian church. The
preaching hour was given over
to Rev. Marion Palmer, abrother
of L. w. Palmer. For eight
years he has been doing mission
ary work in Northern Siam, and
of this work he talked most in
terestingly for more than an
hour. For special music at this
service there was a number by
a male quartet and solo by Mr..
Palmer. who is very fine Sing
er. The quartet consisted Of
Messers Palmer, Irwin, Cook
and Knapp, and their singing
was Of a very high order.
At 3 o'clock there was another
meeting at the Presbyterian
church, which was addressed by
Mrs. Palmer. This also per
tanned to the work which she and
her husband are doing in far of
Siam. At this meeting Mr.. and
Mrs. Palmer sang number OF
selections in the Siamese langu
age.
At Z o'clock the young people
OF the two churches met together
for their regular Sunday evening
services.
At eight o'clock a union ser
vice was held at the Methodist
church. The sermon was by
Rev. Lane, a former pastor Of
the Methodist church but now
engaged in Sunday school work
in the state. There was large
congregation and the services
were much enjoyed. The male
quartet again assisted with the
music.

he crawled in and hid. In due
time by the aid of some other
Indians, he was located and

Lecture By Lady Lawyer
Brilliant Chicago Woman Talks on
the Suffrage Question.

A logical and powerful presen-
tation of the womah S side of the
question ofwoman's s suffrage was
given Tuesday evening at the
opera house. The speaker was
Marion H. Drake, the woman who
gave Bath House" John Cough
lin the scare of his life in the
aldermanic election in Chicago
last spring when she was candi-
date against him for the office he
has held for the past % years.
Miss Drake is lawyer of recog-
nized ability and is a very enter
tanning talker.
Going back to the early history
of Sparta and Greece the speak
er showed what menial place
woman occupied at that time. In
northern Germany if anything it
was still worse. Christianity
helped her some in the Roman
world; but Of all old countries, in
early times, woman was accord
ed the best treatment in the
Scandinavianpeninsula. In Eng
land to-day the law does not
recognize woman as a person,
and it is to that country that the
eminent judges of the supreme
court of America turned for
authorities when deciding the
status of women in the matter OF
citizenship.
Perhaps the most interesting
part Of the talk was the personal
experience of Miss Drake in hel
work of combating the evils OF
the corrupt politicians of hel
home city. Basing her hopeful
ness on what has already beer
accomplished by women when
ever they have been given the
ballot, Miss Drake is very opti
mistic of the outcome if suffrage
in this country becomes univers
al, as will surely be the case very
shortly.
The people of this state were
warned to be on the lookout fo1
the users of money to influence
the election and to corrupt lesis
laJors. In this connection sh,
stated that the governor of Hi
nois could have received amilliol
dollars for vetoing the woman
suffrage bill which went to hin
for his signature.
