BAND SHOW MAKES GOGD.
Home Talent Minstrel Production
Draws Packed House. Entertain
ment of High Order.

An event which is becoming reg
ular annual affair was the home tai
ent minstrel show put on at the opera
house last Friday night for the ben
eft Of the Boys Band. The band
boys themselves and many others la q.
bored hard and long to make the pro.
duction worth the MOI ey, and the large
number who paid their fifty cents felt
that they received value and perhaps
much more than they usually do when
patronizing the average "road show y
Briefly the entertainment consisted
of the usual minstrel production in
which some sixteen black face fun
makers. backed up by the Band orches-
ira, furnished amusement Following
this production and while the members
of the caste were preparing for the
final farce, j. b. Martell entertained
with some free-hand drawing which
proved highly entertaining and also
proved Mr.. Martcll qualified To drop
his last falls work of helping .,ome of
the horny handed husbandmen to reap
their harvest, and instead to hold down
a god position OH .,omc vaudeville
circuit, or to do his stunt with a
chnutauqua organization. He has
pleasing appearance on the stage,k keeps
up running fire of small talk and
puts on high-class cartoon work at
rapid rate. Ii fact, the production
was so fine and withal so unlocked for
by the audience that a gasp of surprise
was plainly audible when Mr.. Martcli
anlimbered. The closing skit was a
court scene, with DR.. Smith the pre-
siding judge.
The minstrel program proper con-
sisted of the usual amount of wit and
railiery, in whicl, local folks were
freely remembered with nifty jolts,
and some ten musical numbers. Earl
Stewart, Karl Ponath, John Brokof-
sky, Carl Vorlander, E. T. Atha, Scott
Cameron, Walter MewinE and j. B.
Martall handled solo parts and there
vas little choice, all measuring up we'll
in their work and receiving equal ap-
plause from the audience.
AS before mentioned, Mr.. Martell
bridgcd the gap between the two main
productions in excellent style, and the
closing part Of the program proved to
he court scene served up &c luxe
DR.. Smith, DIS judge, and a punk one at
that, dished up sentences, many :aost
sensational in nature and even going

Cameron, for the defense, and E. T..
Atha, district attorney, made more Or
less eloquent pleas in each case, while
j. b. Martell protected the dignity of
the cour. as Il "sunburned Irish" po-
liceman, with a strong propensity to
snore in open court. W. Mewing, j. i.
Brokofsky, K. Ponath, G. Rocks, Roy
Scott, T.. Stewart and c. Vorlander
represented all sorts of disturbcrs, of
the peace, and with the many idiosyn-
crasies of the court officers and attach
es, kept the court and the audience in
an uproar from start to finish.
The jokes were witty, the musical
numbers good and the acting better

Incidentally, the receipts were high

DR.. JONES ExoNoRATED.
Ssnth Dakota's Professor, Who Lee.
tured iat Emnons County Insti-
tute. Given Clean Bill.

Einmons County people, and espec-
tally those who attended the last
ifeachers' institute at tile county seat,
VIII remember DIR. Jones, Of the South
Dakota State University, who lectured
on matters pertaining to examinations
Of fchildren in school to determine many
Of the more vital points relative to
their well-being, such as ability to
hsndle school work, how they should
taught, ETC., and who startled his
hlrers in some Of his demonstrations
BY determining characteristics of SUBJ
Jects by his scientific Investigations,
Dr. Jones was recently the subject Of
an unmerciful gruelling at the hands
Of Jim Jam Jems and certain others,
and the affair resulted in an investiga-
ton ~ the South Dakota Legislature.
The following is taken from one of the
Pierre newspapers. The Professor
was afterwards rewarded with reso-
luton passed by the South Dakota
Legislative body endorsing him and his
work, and recommending that his ideas
be incorporated in the compulsory
features of the South Dakota educa-
tional' work. The Pierre newspaper
article is as follows:
At II o'clock in the house chamber
before fully ninety per cent of the SEN
ators and house members, after brief
talks by Professor Smith and Profess
sor Helm, complimentary to the
speaker, Professor Jones, who has
been so bitterly assailed by DR.. Par
son and others, regarding his work
over the state relative to examinations
made by him. Professor Jones is a
plendid talker, demonstrated very
1crcibly that he is scholar and a gen.
tleman, and for an hour held his large
audience spell bound, AS he graphical
~ described in detail every examina-
tion made by him. 1t was splendid
talk and but few of his hearers had
any conception of his work. We do
not believe there is man in the large
audience but who was firmly -onvinc-
cd that the work Of Professor Jones
should not only be endorsed, but that
it should Dc adopted in every school
and made compulsory. The Dakotan
has kept out of the controversy be-
cause we knew nothing about it. but
after listening to the remarks we have
mo hesitancy whatever in saying we be-
lieve in Professor Jones; believe in his
work and are for him. We only re-
4ret that we did not take stenog-
raphic report that we could have given
it to our readers.

Representative Divet, of Wahpeton,
Starts Things in the House on
Constitutional Revision "Plan.

Word from Bismarck yesterday is
to the effect that House Bill No. AZ,
which is to revise the constitution that
the actual debt limit is practically
eliminated, created all sort: of excite
ment in the house of representatives
when brought before the body for con-
sideration. The league members are
greatly in the majority in the house,
but the minority is making a big cf-
fort to have put in black and white
the actual things wanted by the league
leaders.
Representative Divet led the fight
for the minority. His first proposal
was to have two stenographers take
all reports of all amendments pro-
posed, all discussions and all action
taken on the bill, and the same incor-
porated in the house journal. This
proposition was promptly voted down
by the league.
Representative Divet then turned
his attention to the matter of the pro-
posed actual deb. limit. He prefaced
his remarks with the statement that
he wanted the majority faction to
have just what they wanted. but that
he wanted it in definite shape so that
the results would not be purely specu-
lative. He therefore proposed an
amendment that the actual deb, limit
for the state under the proposed con-
Stitution be Fixed al one million dol
lars, The amendment vas voted
down.
Mr.. Dewitt then proposed an a'nerd-
ncnt Of two million dollars. The
amendment was voted down.
His third amendment provided "a
limit of three million dollars. Again
;ae amendment was stnoihered.
Mr. Divet offered amendments enc

as good a year to upset the law of av-
erageS as any other.
Chicago's attack against New York up
to date is above the average, so far as
records go. 1t is pointed out that prior
to Sundays contest. which Chicago
won. to 2, seven or more runs have
been made in only seven OF the sixty
seven games played under national
commission regulations. In five OF the
last twelve world series the winner of
the blue ribbon event captured the first
two games.
Aside from the games won, Chicago
has 4 decided advantage in the pitch
ing Manager Rowland's men have now
batted against McGraw's best bets,
pitchers who. the New York manager
expected. would at the very least break

their own grounds The White Sox tap
ped Sallee sufficiently to win, and ham,

of the box. Both are left-handers. Nc
Graw still has RUDE Benton, another
southpaw. but he may decide to try Pol

stop ComiskeyS men.
Chicago's pitching has been up to
Manager Rowlands expectations. CT
cote and Faber, the White Soxs only
two offerings so far, came through with
victories. Neither was hit very hard,
and both now have the confidence born
of victory. Rowland may decide to
pitch these two men again before TAX

his other twirlers.
New York fans, however, do not be-
lieve that. Cicotte and Faber can dupli-
cate their performance before a larger
crowd at the Polo Grounds. Heine Zim-

gerous men at the bat, have not yet
broken into the hit column, and the ar

shortly before l o'clock this afternoon.
NEW YORK, October "A light,
drizzling rain. driven by cold wind
from the northeast. made weather pros
poets uncertain for the third game of
the world series between the White SoN
and Giants today.
Outside of the weather and the main
question as to whether the Giants can
stage a spectacular come back. the fol-
lowers of the national pastime devoted
the rest of their speculations as to the
rival pitchers in the absence of official
announcements. The opinion seemed to
be general that either Cicotte or Rus
sell would start for the visitors, while
McGraw would pin his faith in Sallee or
Benton.
New York rooters admitted today that
the Giants must win the third game to
have a look-in at the championship. To
lose this game, they agreed. would
mean that the world series title would
probably go west for the first time
since 1909. when Pittsburgh captured
the series from Detroit.
Delving into the records of past
games does not hold out any encour-
agement to the followers of the Ma
tional leaguers. These records show
that since world series have been
played under the rules laid down by
the national commission no team that
lost the first two games ever came
through the winner of base balls

Again. should New York win the third
game the records would still he against
