DEMOCRATIC TICK EFT

The democratic mass convention
was very modest affair, SO much

Heard Advance getting on account
OF it in last weeks paper. Below
are the nominations. There are
some excellent fellows among them
and it's rather distressing that they
should be put up for slaughter--but
politics is politics and the decree
has gone out without recall that
this is to be republican year from
president down. The nominations
are: State senator, Dudley Stats,
Mllbank, representative, John
Nord, Madison township, and Ferd-
lnand Xix, Lula township; county
auditor, A. M. Hamilton, Melrose

Friends Of Mrs. Geo. C. Stearns
received word last week of her death
on the 18th inst. at the Home at
Hot Springs. She had been grad :
ualIy failing for several weeks past
and her son from North Dakota and
grand daughter Lois were with her
for the last week, The remains
were Inferred in the Hot Springs
cemetery on the 18th nst. Mr..
Stearns will continue to live at the
home. The deceased lady was one
of the pioneer settlers Of Grant
County, and lived on a claim near
LaBolt, and later was for a long
time resident Of Milbank, where

Peter Hermans has purchased the
John Honneger home on the west
side for 81, 200.
Rev E. F. Siegfriedt leaves the
first of the week to accompany his
mother to Boston, Mass. While
away he will visit points in New
York and Pennsylvania and attend
to some church matters in relation
to securing more men in the Dakota
missionary field.
As will be seen by the list Of
republican electors filed for the
coming primaries, Milbank and
Grant county will probably be rep
resented on the republican
electoral ticket, the name of Frank
w. Meehan of this city being
among the five names presented for
the primary vote. G. H. Snyder of
Codington will also be in the same
list. The names presented by the
Dick Richards supporters will be
in opposition to the five names
referred to.

the reading of the Melting Pot

audience which attended. They
knew that Mrs. Arnold was good

had the talent which she displayed
IN her reading. We were fortunate

BASE BALL.
Milbank to Have Il Winning Team
this Season

A number Of our local base ball
enthusiasts are working out plan
that it is expected will give Mil
bank the best team Of ball players
it has had. The proposition is to
secure pitcher and a catcher on
salary and fill out the team with the
local players who have shown abili-
ty in the past. We have some
splendid material in this line and
the boys are willing to go into the
organization on an arrangement that
they be paid when actually playing

the proposition they offer is a most
reaonable one and all that could be
expected of them, as they are called
upon to leave their work on the

A meeting called at the CONNER
cial club rooms last Friday evening
an enthusiastic feeling prevailed,
and the matter was generally talked
over, and a resolution adopted to go
ahead with an organization under the
following committee: l.. N. Saun-
ders, g. c. Burke, and r. d. Jones.
This committee will canvas the town
for subscriptions for the enterprise
which it is predicted can be easily
financed by all helping. Everybody
is interested in good ball playing,
and pretty nearly everybody will be
interested in helping to finance the
club. There is one matter however
which should be distinctly under
stood beforehand, and that is in re-
gard to Sunday playing. There are
those who conscienciously object to
the Sunday game, believing it to be
a desecration Of the day, fraught
with danger to the highest com
munity good and they very rigtful-
ly object to give financial support
to an enterprise or amusement that
violates their convictions on this
important matter
