Baseball to Succeed Races.

The curtain has been rung down
on the racing season at A-muz-u Park
and there will be nothing doing in
the way of this sport until the in
ter-parochial fair in October, when
high-class harness and running races
for handsome purses will be staged
each day of the festival. The sus-
pension of the matinees at the local
track was brought about by the
small attendance at the various
meets, the venture having proved a
losing one since the outset of the
season.
1t is stated that the A-muz-u Park
grounds will be turned over to the
local baseball club, which will have
the playing field placed in first-class
condition and Wire netting stretched
| in front of the grand-stand to protect
| spectators from foul balls.
Several changes will be made in
the lineup of the team with a view
| to enabling it to hold its own against
any Of the amateur squads is this
| section, and series of games will
| be scheduled that cannot fail to be
worthy of the patronage Of all lovers
Of the national pastime
The first contest will be arranged
for Aug %, the home boys being
| scheduled to so to Lutcher tomorrow
for an encounter with the redoubt-
| able Outlaws Of that town.
Rain interfered with the races at
| A-mllZ-r Park last Sunday afternoon

events being run on muddy track.

How About That Garbage Can?

Have you provided yourself with a
closed garbage can? If not you'd
better do so at once, because the
ordinance requiring their use is 60
ing to be strictly enforced. These
cans are for sale in several stores
IN the city Or can be manufactured
by local tinsmiths, and their cost is
So reasonable that the purchase of
one will not inflict a hardship on
any citizen, no matter how modest
his means, Within a short while all
uncovered receptacles will be con-
fiscated and taken to the dump heap,
and the keeping of garbage or re-
fuse in anything but closed con
tainer will be absolutely prohibited.

Another Chapter in Bank Of Don

Another chapter in the history of
the failure of the Bank of Donald
sonvllle was written yesterday morn
ing, when an affidavit was filed
against w. NJ McGalliard, president;
Charles Maurin, vice president; W.
ID. Park, cashier, and 3. C. Wathen,
c. Kline, Fred. Royce, ST., and G.
K. Alleman, directors OF the defunct
institution, charging them with re-
ceiving a deposit of funds knowing
the bank to be in failing and in
solvent circumstances. The accusa-
tlon is sworn to by Dr. Clarence
Goette, Frank C. Ayraud and Felix
Acosta, depositors in the failed
bank, and the transaction on which
the charge is founded was the de-
post of $500 in the institution by
Felix Sagona, an italian merchant
OF Barton, on Nov. 18, 1913. The
bank closed its doors three days
later
Criminal proceedings were insti-
tuted against the above officers and
directors of the bank following its
suspension, as the result of alleged
violations of the banking laws

Found Dead on the Road.

On Friday of last week while E. L.
Wright in company with another gen.
tleman were coming home from Glen
wood, they discovered a team without
a driver stuck in the snow about 15
miles from here. They unhitched the
horses and assisted them to extricate
themselves from the snow where they
had remained all night, started them
on the road and proceeded on their
way. After going about twenty rods
further they discovered the owner of
the team lying STRETCHED out in the
snow, about two feet from the road,
dead. Upon investigation he proved
to be a Norwegian named Torgenson
who have been to mill at Sank Centre
the day previous, and while waiting
for his grist to be ground had~imbibed
freely of alcohol, and had started for
home in the afternoon, taking bottle
with him. When found the bottle was
nearly empty. The body was taken to
the home of the family near Glen
wood. ~ - s-.r7s,a.ssl

GREAT FISH STORY.

Fairview, situated south of Sioux
Falls on the Big Sioux river, reports
that the millrace of a company which
conducts a Touring mill on the banks
of the river there, became SO full OF
catfish that the mill wheels became
clogged to such an extent that the
operation of the mill was stopped. L.
E. Brant,. in. charge Of the mill, and
his assistants, were compelled to raise
the water wheels in order to remove
the several bushels of catfish which
had become clogged there. The cat
fish varied in size, some Of them being
monsters. The splendid flavor OF
"Zumalweiss" beer is no fish story;

CONTINUES TO LEAD
More Immigrants for Minnesota Pass
Through Transfer at St. Paul
Than For Any Other State.

-
According to figures given out by
Fred D. Sherman, Commissioner of
immigration, Minnesota again scored
high above all other states in receiv-
ing immigrants. Figures compiled by
the Minnesota Transfer Railway Com
pany show that during the month of
August that Company handled 1873
cars of immigrant movables. Out of
this number Minnesota received 6s
cars, or more than one-third of all the
cars handled. The nearest competitor
in receiving such cars was North Da-
kota, which received 81; Montana %;
Canada %; Wisconsin 10, and the
balance of the states fall below the
latter number.
"There are many reasons why Min
nesota is receiving more than he1
share of immigrants" said Mr.. Sher-
man, Probably the most important
one is the fact that curing the year OF
1913 Minnesota harvested such bump
er crops, particularly corn, and it bids
fair to turn the trick again this year.
Minnesota real estate dealers have
operated with my department and
taken advantage of the opportunity
to herald the news of Minnesota's ag-
ricultural prosperity; particularly the
the fact that last year Minnesota led
every state in the union in the point
Of average yield per acre of corn.
Thousands and tens of thousands of
1913 crop reports, showing Mime
sofas magnificent yield compared
with other states, have been distribute
ed not only by this department, but by
hundreds of local real estate dealers
throughout the better developed states
to the South and East of us. Mime
sofa newspapers have been another
potent factor in attracting settlers to
this state. The city and rural papers
have been devoting column after col
umn giving publicity about Mime
sofa, her resources and opportunities.
The various development associations
in the state have been working hard,
and hundreds Of real estate mem have
agents travelling ishfought other states
spreading the news Il Of Minnesota
soprospe fifty, and + firmly believe that
today We are the BEST advertised state
In the Union. AT, the state landIadis-
trict fairs where Minnesotas had San
exhibit, keen interest was shown, and
from morning Until might the Mime
sofa tent where the exhibit was
housed was crowded with eager spec
tators. Next week we show at the
Springfield, Illinois State Fair, and l
am sure that we will receive good at
tention." :

sible, exhibits will be put on at county

The Stages.

II - - a
The stages between this place and
st. Cloud have been making their reg
ular trips the past week, From here
to Fort Abercrombie the stage people
have been having serious time, and
for while it was hard fight be-
tween them and the snow. On Tues
day the first time since the storm the
Abercrombie stage got through to
Sank Centre, although they had been
working night and day. For a dis
lance of forty miles eight horses had
been hitched to pair of "bobs," and
then by digging and shoveling
through the snow they were able to
make only ten miles a day. Any per-
sons less energetic than the men on
the Minnesota stage line would have
given up in despair but they stuck to
it till they broke through. Matters
are now pretty well Strengthened out
and the mails will come as regular as
u ual. For while fears were enter
tanned for the safety of the passeng-
ers who were on the road but nothing
more serious than having to remain
out one night happened to them. Mr..
Wait and agent went down Tuesday
night, after he had seen things regu-
lated on the upper end of the route.

On last Saturday night the house of

together whit all its contents. It orig

blown into the window from stove

The whole upper part of the house

the place scarsely anything was saw
ed. The building and household
goods were insured to the extent of
four hundred dollars.
