SCHOOL NOTES.

Winning the two games in bas-
ket ball away from home on a
waxed floor was the feat of the
girls and boys team accomplished
last Friday night at Sisseton. The
girls game was a stand off, Z to Z,
at the end Of the first half. The
Sisseton team had a weakened line
up caused by sickness of two of
their players, yet they kept our
fair ones guessing to win the game
at II to 8. At this juncture Of
the double header excitement was
running high for our girls had al
ready annexed another scalp to
their collection and the first half of
the boys game ended in favor Of
their opponents by II to Z score.
With their second wind our
throwers began to even the score
while at the same time the oppos-
ing team showed signs Of weaken
ing in the wind and rush. Our
boys liked the Shedding very much
and it is this fact coupled with the
spirit We got to win that put them
on top of the decision. Although
out weighed and handicapped by
playing on a floor which was decor
ated with wax, stage settings and
red hot stoves. the Milbank quintet
played brand Of ball which with
an even flip Of luck would win
champion game. When all was
over our teams sang "Our Bonnie
lies over the Ocean" with one ac-
co'ed and without restraint. The
following was the line up for the
two teams; girls, Katherine Mes
mer (capt.) and Hilfred johnson,
guards; Alice johnson and Erna
Schneck, forwards; Elnora Ander-
son, center and Alice Coulter, CEN
ter guard with Marion Smalley as
sub.
Boys-Walter Fenner (capt) and
Milton Cochrane guards; Ed
Bagdons and Harvey Bingham,
forwards; Otto Bagdons, center
Harvey Allen, sub.
The writer can justly say there
was no chance to select stars in
these contests. Every player work.
ed for the colors Of our school and
every point made was timely earn
ed. To prove their ability in this
sport they need the cooperation Of
every patron in Milbank in the
next two double headers which are
to be played here. The cordial
treatment by the Sisseton people
and the opposing players was of
exceptional character. Everyone
of the S visitors was we'll cared for
and the refreshments at the high
school after the games prove that
the Sisseton entertainers have their
hearts in the right place. It sure
ly is gratifying to US after winning
two games from a team in one
night that we should be accorded
the big hearted treatment by the
good loosers. Milbank may we'll
be proud Of the amiable feelings
which exist between these two
schools.
This Saturday night the Orton-
vile boys and the Waubay girls
play our two teams, and now that
our teams are in Mid-season form.

W. C. TURNER

Inverness, July 29.-W. c. Turner,
one of the oldest and most prominent
citizens of this county, died at his
home in Red Level Thursday. Mr..
Turner was born IL 1iarion county
about seventy years ago. He came to
this county just after the close of the
civil war and settled near Crystal
River, where he had resided ever
since. He was a Confederate soldier
and took part In the battle of Ocean
Pond in this state. Uncle Bill Tur-
ner, as he was popularity known,
leaves wife and eleven children to
mourn his death. The following chill
dren survive him: R. L. Turner, state
inspector of rural schools; d. ]. Tur-
ner, county commissioner of this
county; G. H. Turner, of the Turner
Scofeld company of Inverness; j. D.
Turner of Williston; ]. E. Turner,
Roy Turner, Reuben Turner, Newton

Level, and Mrs. A. D. Bertine of Red
Level.

hurying grounds yesterday morning,

tor of the Methodist church, of which

COMMISSION MAY CONFER
WITH CARRANZA
(Associated Press)

Washington, July 29.-The United
States last night informed Carranza,
in a note, that the United States was
ready to submit to joint commits
sion the task of seeking solution of
the border problems, and that as soon
as he had finally accepted the United
States would appoint its commission
ers and begin joint arrangements with
Carranza for them to meet the Car
rama commissioners.
The United States suggested, how
ever, that the commissioners try to
settle the entire question rather than
be confined, as Carranza suggested
first, to the drawing up of a protocol
regarding reciprocal crossing of the
border, determining the origin of ban
dit incursions and agreeing on the re-
evacuation of the American forces.

OVERHAULING THE
PLUMBING ORDINANCE
Many Citizens Consult with the Com.
mittee Regarding the Measure

mittee Regarding the Measure
The judiciary committee of the
council was In session at the city hal
yesterday afternoon and again last
night hearing citizens who had objec.
tions TO the proposed plumbing ordi-
nance, which covers the city's new
100000 sewerage system. Several
changes in the ordinance have beer
made as a result of the hearings, and
the measure will be re-drafted by the
city attorney, and submitted to coun-
ell Tuesday night.
Appearing against the ordinance as
originally drafted and passed by coun-
ell were Col. R. f. Rogers, L. N
Green and r. G. Loveridge. The dis
cussion waxed very warm at times
during the afternoon and evening. The
main change in the measure, made as
a result of objections, covers tenement
house. AS changed, the ordinance
will permit battery of toilets, with
one toilet for every ten persons, fo1
as many tenement houses in group
as meet with the approval of the
plumbing inspector; with one water
meter to the battery.
Mr.. Green objected strongly to be-
ing required to have plumber install
the pipes connecting the house with
the sewer main. He would have the
privilege of having this work done by
cheaper labor.
1t is pointed out that, even before
the objections We're made, the plumb
ing ordinance drafted for Ocala is
more lenient than any similar ordi-
nance in the state.

They fought j. C. Luning for treas

They fought Henry Clay Crawford
for SECRETARY of state.
They fought w. N. Sheats.
They fought R. c. Dunn, A. S. Wells

They sent out letters urging their
ignorant followers not to vote for a
second choice under any circum-

AS proof, and proof sufficient to
make all good democrats disgusted, is
the following letter sent out to their
members before the primary. True
democratic newspapers are respect
fully urged TO publish the letter. Here

Green Cove Springs, Fla, May 80.
Dear Brother: The following candi-
dates for the various Offices are

the information should be given to

are:

Trammell. (AIl the other candidates

For commissioner Of agriculture,

For secretary Of state, Mr.. Jordan

In order to get full value of our
votes we should not vote a second
choice. Your second choice may help
to defeat your favorise candidate
W. V Knott and Ion L. Farris, two
Iof the candidates for governor, stated
IN the newspapers that we should all
be disfranchised. Knott tries to deny

Driving forward at two points less

have captured Brody, in Galicia, and

mits the penetration Of the Austrian
line on the Brody- -Lesznlow road, but
says the Austrians are still fighting
on the southern slope of Brody.
The capture of Brody, which is an
important railway junction fifty miles

road to Lemberg, and also may cause
the falling back of the entire Aus
