Fight SUNDAY BALL
MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION OF
MITCHELL TAKES STAND
ON ISSUE.

Mitchell, June 13.--If the pastors
of Mitchell have their way the last
game of Sunday baseball. which was
also the first one to be played In the
city for several years. has been play
ed. They say the state law emphat-
ically prohibits the playing of Sun
day ball and they assert they will go
the limit to see that the law is en-
forced.
At a meeting of the Ministerial as
II was determined that a
of laymen and pastors
be appointed to call on the
management Of the club in an effort
to persuade ii to cancel all future
Sunday games. The association will
itself to do all it can for the
games during the week.
IL the management refuses to ac-
cede to the requests of the committee
the park board will be asked to pre-
vent the use of Hitchcock park, where
the ball ground Is situated, on Sun
day. Failing in this, the ministers
declare they will carry the matter to
the courts and exhaust every effort
to prevent the sport.

EASTERN POETRY RANKS HIGH
Evolved by Writers Of the Orient
Says WsIi-known Author.

Many persons seem to think that the
poetic literature Of the East is fitted
to yield only a barren crop Of VERDI
age, or a tawdry mass of sentimental
extravaganza. 1t often has these char
acteristics. 1t also possesses all kinds
OF wealth, In their most exalted de-
grees, and In their most wonderful
%profusion. The poetry Of the unimag-
NATIVE Chinese Ii noticeable for eth
icsl good sense-a wholesome vein OF
homely truth. Its beat is circum-
scribed In the ranges Of practical ex-
perience. The muse of China Is q
ground sparrow. With the Arabs .
their ideas seem to be transmitted In
to sensations. Sanscrit and Hindosta-
nee poetry Is characterized, In Its
most peculiar phases, by an unrivaled
i~dealization. Imagination often takes
the reins from judgment and runs riot,
and language breaks into a blossom
ing wilderness OF metaphor. But the
richness and originality Of the result
are frequently grand and exhilarating.
The most distinctive Persian poetry
exhibits an exquisite delicacy Of sense
elsewhere unparalleled. a vast and
ethereal play Of fancy and sentiment,
a fetterless Jubilancy OF reason and
faith, the very transcendentalism Of
wit.-William r. Alger. in '4Ths Poetry
Of the Orient"

asked for 4 decree OF divorce on that
ground, and the Judge wouldn't believe
him. "Out upon such pessimism |" de-
clared the court, In substance, and
forthwith declared and a~sseverated
that he could not be released from his
marriage bonds on such an ephemeral
plea; hence we have the declaration

ton with the killing. Another per-
SON was to have been taken into cus-
tody, but was not to be found.
Mrs. Meehl left here yesterday,
presumably for Sioux Falls, accom-
panied by her father, Joseph Reit-
meyer. The Meehls + said to have
had domestic troubles and for a while
had not been living together. Mr..
and Mrs. Meehl were in different
rooms on the night of the murder,
when Mrs. Meehl said she found a
note with her husbands body con-
veying a warning against persons
who inform on bootleggers.'" Meehl
is said to have had no interest in
running down bo%otleggers, and SO ia,
as any information obtainable here,
is concerned. he neyer did SO.
A shotgun was found in the house
after the murder, with the barrel
~blackened by powder. No footprints
were found around the house. The
charge from the gun tore a hole al
most two inches in diameter through
Meehl's skull.
Young Schmidt testified before a
coroner's jury that he had not heard
the discharge of the weapon, although
he was sleeping at the side of Meehl
He later admitted, however, that hi
had been awakened by the discharge
of the gun.

GAVE IDEA TO INVENTORS
Timothy Alden's Typesstting Machine
First Of the Kind to BE Placed
on the Market.

Timothy Alden was born In Barn.
stable, Mass, 90 years ago. He was
the first man to invent a typesetting
machine. In his boyhood Timothy was
apprenticed to a printer. He was a
born inventor, and almost from his
first day In the printing office he be-
gan to think Of plans for improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art. He invented
several machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting OF type.
After several years OF study he pro-
duced his first model OF q typesetting
machine In 1S46. This machine con-
sisted Of a horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells On its circumference
making receivers rotate with 1t to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
appliance was ingenious, but 1t effect
ed no improvement over hand compo-
sition. Timothy Alden died In Boston
In 1858. and his brother. Henry. later
made several improvements In the ma
chine. Timothy Alden's machine had
the merit of setting others to thinking
about the same problem, with the re-
suit that hand composition Is rapidly
becoming a thing Of the past.

had reached such a point of success
as to warrant Mr.. Dunbar's safety In

it over.
Mr.. Dunbar expects soon to engage

business will hereafter be conducted

head.
Mr.. Carmichael started out to see
Minneapolis, he told the police.
Early in the evening he became ac-
quainted with wo pleasant young
men and with them he visited sew
eral saloons. One of the men sug-
gested a motor trip to the hotel, and
led the way to an automobile nearby.
A oma clad in oilskins was at
the wheel. according to Mr.. Car
michael. The car drove through the
rain rapidly and turned along Excel
sior boulevard. A short distance
past Lake Calhoun the automobile
stopped, one of the men grasped Mr..
Carmichael by the throat, and the
other struck him on the head with
q blackjack.
When he recovered consciousness
he was lying by the roadside in the
rain. He crawled to a nearby house
where there vas a telephone and call
ed the police. An automobile was
sent by the Fifth precinct station
and he was removed to the hospital.
Mr.. Carmichael was unable to give

Kidney disease Is too dangerous to

other kidney medicine SO well recon-

of the many statements from Mad

Mrs. C. Mathison says: Il can

aches and my kidneys didn't act
right. I felt dull and tired out, but
