Woman Sues
Saloon Men

Washington. June l5.-The impor-
tant question as to whether or not
saloon keepers are responsible for
the death of a man killed in an acci-
dent while in an intoxicated condi.
ton when the liz uor was obtained by
him through others, will be deter
mined by the trial of an important
damage suit in the state circuit court
in this county.
The plaintiff in the action is Mrs
Button, of Washington. who seeks to
recover damages of So. 900 from Wes-
sington saloon men for the death of
her husband. who was q hard drink
err. She contends that her husband
purchased the liquor in the local sa.
looms, and that it was sold to him in
violation of that part of the state
liquor license law which prohibits the
sale of liquor to an habitual drunk
ard.

City of Duluth
Votes Out Saloons

Yesterdays papers contains the
news that Mmnesota's third city
voted dry" to the surprise of many
citizens. The voting of towns and
cities this year indicates a continued
growth of the economic wave which
is sweeping the licensed saloon out
of existence, A great portion of
Minnesota is now dry territory.
The belief is very general that
state wide prohibition will carry in
South Dakota at the coming election,
because of the great change of senti-
ment among business men in towns
and cities. The majority of rural
voters have always been opposed to
the saloon. but in two previous votes
the towns and cities furnished
enough wet votes to carry the state.

The Price of Politics

Under state law candidates for
state offices must file their expense
accounts at the state capital. r o.
Richards expense account at the
recent primary as a candidate for
governor. cost him So, 300. OF course
it is presumed that Mr.. Richards
could well afford to expend this sum
if he cared to, because he has it to
spend. But the average citizen
must conclude that politics is an ex-
pensive luxury.
1t is a thillipg game which many
like, but there is nothing in it,
financially. ANY man can reap a
better C in life by devoting his
energies to almost any other calling.
In South Dakota, a number of
men who have been fairly successful
in securing political honors have re-
tired from office financially bursted.
A few have recuperated in after
years. but many more never re-
covered.
AS there will always be politicians,
and must be officials, of course this
is merely a comment on the''passing
show without desire or expectation
of changing the established order of
things. Its only practical value is q
suggestion TO the young man that
the political trail is no primrose path.
Few men reach the goal of temp
orary plaudits from the multitude.
or obtain financial success through
politics.

Sunday School
Picnic June 9th

Plans are beng made for another
big Union picnic of Sunday Schools

not been arranged some of the good
things are already for publication.
This year the picnic will open at
ten thirty A. M. and Rev. George
Quayle of st. Lawrence will give one
of his interesting chalk talks for the
Young people and children at that
hour. This will be very good and
every one will want to be on hand

the big basket dinner at twelve and
the afternoon program will begin at
two O'Clock.
Mrs. A. p. Cooper, of Miller, will
be the principle speaker, giving one
of her interesting addresses.
Rev. w. S. Doty will be there also
and will talk about the good old
times when he was a missionary on
this field.
The Double Male Quartette, Of
Miller has kindly offered to sing a
number of selections for the after

Mail Boxes To

an order that after july l all rural
mail boxes put up after that date be
of the same material and of the same
design. Anybody can manufacture
them, but he must get a permit from
the department. The order will not
touch boxes in use at the present
time or those erected before July l.
1t is expected that the new box ap.

much better and cheaper than those
now generally IN use. There are a
dozen or more different kinds OF
boxes now in use on the routes. The

A BASE BALL JINX
CAUGHT and SLAIN
Local Team Gives Faulkton An
Awful Trimming

The jinx supposed to follow Faux.
ton whenever they played Miller was
captured at the Burdette picnic Sat-
urdav and put to death before a
large crowd of spectators from all
over this part of the state.
Nine chesty Young men claiming
Faulkton as their habitat Forded
blithely Ger the prairies to pose for
nine innings before an admiring
multitude-and take home a $75
purse. They had met Miller once
this seaso in a 5 | victory. and had
reasons for smiling at ANYTHING with
a Miller brand.
The Gene was laid upon a prairie
field, close to natures heart. on the
edge of a grove filled with people
enjoying a huge picnic, A primitive
diamond in a pasture upon the native
sod, entirely girdled by hundreds of
automobiles parked to face the ball
field, with hundreds of eager fans
hugging the base lines. was an in
spring sight of the day.
The game was modern for about
three innings. and promised to be a
close exhibition with few scores.
Then Miller's bunch of athletes came
out of the trenches looking for that
iinx. And the way they hand
led those ball tossers from the Gov
ernor's county was something awful
In the annals of Americas national
game.
The North county athletes forgot
their pose. their names, and all sense
of direction. The Millerites mauled
that ball for 2 home runs. l three
Dagger, a doubles, and II bipgles, a
total of "a hits. netting l8 big fat
scores. Faulkton came to life in but
two innings. with a total of a hits.
netting 5 runs.
1t was a poor exhibition as a whole
and vet replete with brilliant individ-
ual plays. The M pleasing thing to
Miller fans was to see their team go
into a hit fest. the like of which is
seldom seen in base ball as now play
ed under modern rules and restric-
tons.
This makes a game each for these
teams. and announcement was made
on the grounds that the deciding
game would be played between
Faulkton and Miller at Miller July
4th for a purse of 500. Both teams
will present their best, and it will
probably be a much closer game.

More Than 1000 People Enjoy A

were contributorv causes for nearly
$500 people to attend the North
Hand County Old Settlers 25th Pic
mic at Burdette SATURDAY..
And what changes, my country
man. in this quarter CENTURY span of
time! Twenty five years ago a few
of the original settlers of northeas-
tern Hand county met in apicnic tor
a days outing. 1t is very probable
that the great majority of convey
ances used were the farm wagons of
those days. They decided to make
an annual affair, and twenty-five
years later We find a gathering of
perhaps $500 people from all sections
of Hand and adjoining counties. and
neighboring towns.
Some close by people came in bug
gies and carriages, but the majority
came in the modern gas wagon.
Some person who counted them re-
ported 364 autos. At an average
price of $500, this would make S29l,-
200 worth Of automobiles on the
grounds. An average of 5 to the
auto gives a total of 1920.
For the first time the officers OF
the Old Settlers organization decld-
ed to charge an admission of 10 cts
to help pay expenses. They report
1880 paid admissions. with no charge
for children up to 8 years.
The program of entertainment
was similar to those of other years
speaking and singing on a platform
erected in a grove, basket dinners in
groups about the grove. and a game
of base ball between teams from
Faulkton and Miller.
The trip could be readily made by
auto from a distance of so miles
