rig means close to 5000 day
which would be equal to 5 percent
on the inv estment. But the traf-
fic would increase in time and
surely a railroad would cross there
which would additionally swell the
income. Altogether we think the
enterprise to be good one as an
investment, not speaking of the
other benefits to be derived from
the bridge to property owners and
business places on both sides of
the river in the proximity of the
bridge. If the brid ge was fail
ure in the past it must be con-
sifered that the country was new
and the time was not ripe. Now
the time is ripe and we see no rea-
son why the bridge should not
span the Missouri at Yankton in a
short time.

Baseball Dope

After suffering three straight
defeats at the hands of the Capital
City Crew, Tabor was partially
revenged last Sunday by handing
them nice shut out 2 to O.. Tyn-
dali dame down full of vigor and
determination, to further prove
that they are the unconquerable
heroes, and by closely observing
their line up we found an array
of talent the likes of which is hard
to beat. The game was a hard
fought battle from start to finish,
both teams giving their pitchers
faultless support. On the other
hand the pitching was rather ezra
tic. Kiehlbach was hit freely
while Koupal was as wild as they
make 'em. But they both ma
naged to settle down and pitch
shut out ball in the pinches. Ia

J. f. hostel of this place re
ceived a telegram Wednesday
from Monsignor Bouska from
New York that he will arrive
home next Saturday, Sept. 13. In
this connection it would be very
proper to greet him at the station
when he arrives and the committee
in charge cordially invites every
body to be at the Tabor station
next Saturday when the afternoon
passenger arrives. Rt. -. Rev.
Msgr. Bouska was sent to Europe
as delegate for the National Ca

Slovakia as delegate for the Bohe
mian National Alliance on Febru-
.ary 18th last past and while there
spent some time in Paris and then
with Rev. Oldrich ZlamaI of Cleve
land had an audience with His
Holiness Pope Benedict. From
there they departed to their native
land, Bohemia, and lectured in
many towns The fact that Mon
slgnor Bouska was sent on this
mission is distinction for Tabor
which is appreciated not only by
the Catholics of this place, but
others as we'll and there is no
doubt that everyone will turn out
next Saturday to welcom this
distinguished priest and church
dignitary.
