The downtown district should not be

Tom Connolly, the veteran Amer.

Keller the best man who ever swung
a bat. mo player ever had an eye
like Keller" says Connolly. IF ball
was an inch outside Keller wouldn't
go for 1t. The umpires naturally came
to have lot of respect for Keeler's
judgment, particularly as he never
kicked. remember In one game a
catcher protested that the umpire had
missed third strike on Keller. Tim
Hurst was the umpire, and he wouldn't
listen to the kick at all. 1T must have

STATE FAIR is GREAT AGRICULTURAL EXHIBITION.

The South Dakota State Fair and
Exposition is the great show window
OF the state for her agricultural and
other products. Just as an enterpris-
ing merchant tax pans that the dis
play windows Of rs store give a favor
able impression, so should the state
OF South Dakota see to it that the ex-
hibits at the State Fair give an accu-
rate and favorable account of her Won
derful resources.
South Dakota will have an enviable
opportunity this fall to show to the
world just what she is and what she
can produce. South Dakota just now
is in the favored belt Of prosperity.
Naturally hundreds Of people from
other states will visit the fair this
year, therefore from an advertising
standpoint there should be full exhib-
its in all departments. Breeders of
live stock especially ought TO win
large premiums on account of the re-
strictions placed against live stock
from other states.
Agricultural Hall, as usual, will be
damned to the doors with agricul-
tural and industrial exhibits. AL
ready more counties than ever be-
fore in the history Of the fair have
written, to Secretary McIlvaine assur-
ing him that they will need exhibition
space. The State College of Agricul-
ture at Bookings will fill the entire
south wing with an instructive scien-
tific display. The University and the
Pure Food department will occupy
part of the west wing. The Indians
will for the first time put on a mag
nificent display in the. west, haH of the

JUDGES INTERVIEW EDITOR

On Friday of last week j. E. Nipple,
editor and publisher of the Capital
Journal, was summoned to appear on
Monday at 10 O'Clock before the
judges of the Supreme Court to an
swer to a contempt charge on account
of the publication in said newspaper
of an article in relation to the prob
able outcome of the Geo. w. Egan
disbarment proceeding.
Monday, at the hour named in the
notice, Bro. Nipple made the appear
ance required, and stated he was
ready to submit evidence. Attorney
Fuller appeared for Mr.. Nipple and
b. S. Payne, assistant attorney gen.
eral, represented the court.
Afidavits were presented by Mr..
Nipple denying personal knowledge
of the publication, and saying he had
no desire to in any way reflect on the
court, and that nc publication would
have been made had he known Of the
article. An affidavit by Geo. w.
K%ingsbury taking all responsibility
for the article in question, and one
by S. A. Travis, verifying a like con-
versation with Joe Kirby as the one
printed, were presented.
An adjournment was had at the
noon hour until 1880, at which time
the hearing was continued. The state
presented a number of articles that
had been published in as many issues
of the Capital-Journal. Mr.. Nipple,
by counsel, objected to the introduce
ton of the articles at this time, but
each went into the record. The &C.
cused, having submitted evidence in
behalf of himself, Attorney Payne
ASKED the permission of the court to
further examine Mr.. Nipple, ald his
request was granted. The accused
readily answered a long string of in
terrogatories p%ropounded by Mr..
Payne, when it was announced that
the hearing had been concluded.
The court has not as yet written an
opinion, d%isposing of the case.
