He claims to have irrefutable evi-
dence which he will present to the
National League at its scheduled
meeting. Then, after the older cir
cult has had an opportunity to act
on that which concerns itself solely.
Mr.. Baker intends to proceed before
Commissioner Lands, whose duty
1t II to try such cases.
The president Of the Phils would
not divulge publicly the names Of
the alleged offenders further than
to name the st. Louis and Brooklyn
clubs. At first he intended to bring
triple charges, involving also the
Boston Braves. President Heydler
conducted an investigation Of the
charges against Mr.. Grant and
found them utterly unfounded.
Mr.. Grant had been quoted as
saying that he was willing to pay
$4,000 for the right sort OF
pitcher, and certain scribes took
II for granted that he had I'm
mind mono other than the be-
specialized Leo Meadows. Mr..
Heydler found that Grant men
toned no names Whatever. Con
seQuently this particular charge
was withdrawn.
1t Is believed the st. Louis official
who has drawn Mr.. Bakers fire 10
none other than Branch Hickey, man
ager Of tho Cardinals. Mr.. Hickey
has been more or less violent against
the world champions ever since the
Giants secured Heine Groh, O'Con-,
nell and SINNERS, through the out
lay of vast cash sumA Blanch has
been intimating that certain clubs
favored the Giants over all others;
that the transfer OF Irish" Meusei
late last season handed . pennant to
New York at the expense Of Pitts
burgh. and that Lee Meadows as
suredly would be New York asset
before the champions left San An
tonic.
Baker exonerates McGraw and his
associates Of all blame. But In the
case of Hickey Che does not mention
Branch Directly he will show that
his utterances and statements have
had n demoralizing effect on the
pitcher and on many other Of the
Quakers.

MRS. ELIZABETH HOFF

Mrs. Elizabeth Folsland Hoff, wife
of P. p. Hoff, passed away last Thurs.
day, July 81, at her home at the col
lege dairy farm, at the age of 64
years, 3 months and 81 days. Funeral
services were held Sunday afternoon
at the Methodist Episcopal church
conducted by the Rev. r. c. Keagy.
Interment was made in Greenwood
cemetery.
Mrs. Hoff was born in Folsland.
Telemarken. Norway, and came to the
United States at the age Of seven.
With her parents she settled in Win
neshek county, Iowa, later moving to
Fillmore county, Minnesota. In 1887
they travelled by prairie schooner to
South Dakota which has since been
her home.
She was united in marriage to
Peter P. Hoff at Oldham, January 81,
1892. To this union one son, Conrad,
was born. They resided in Oldham
for a period of twelve years aftel
which they came TO Brookings in
1904. She is survived by her husband
and son. Conrad Hoff, of Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Three sisters and one
brother also survive, namely. Mrs. E.
J. Falkum of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
Mrs. Anna Buland Of Irricana, AL
berta, Canada, Mrs. o. E. ROLAND of
Oldham, and II. n. Folsland of Old

being furnished by Jeffries-W Wick,
Travers- Wick, White-Myers, and other
Chautauqua systems. Several hun
dred dollars went out of town each
year for this talent and a deficit had
to be made up by the guarantors, all
of which left a bad taste in the mouth.
This year everything has been diff
ferent. AT the suggestion OF Rev. ii.
G.. Stallard a Community Chautauqua
association was organized by u
citizens to put on a seven-day home
talent Chautauqua. 1t has proven a
high success. The idea was to have
some of our lodges, clubs, etc, put
on some dramas, musicals, lectures
etc, and keep this seven hundred dol
lars at home, thereby creating a fund
for a Community House." Rev.
Stallard suggested that we had the
performances and entertainments. He
realized that it meant a lot Of work
for a lot of people and the sacrific-
ing Of personal pleasures for the
community good, but he was willing
to put his shoulder to the wheel and
push. The result is apparent to us
all. The people have had more real
pleasure and enjoyment from the re-
cent Chautauqua that they eve had
the professional Chautauqua
and it has been the means of develop
ing a lot OF local talent that lay
dormant for years. We believe the
community Chautauqua idea is the
right thing and expect to see it car
ried out in Centerville again next
In fact we believe it will sweep
the country for many communities
have been watching our experiment.
Our success is going to inspire other
communities to take up the idea.
More than a thousand dollars was
in at our Chautauqua, and the
only expense was for the tent, adj
vertising and a few ~incidentals. At
writing the net proceeds has
been determined but it looks like
$3.50 or $500.
Another splendid feature Of the
Chautauqua idea is the
fact that many of us have become
acquainted with n another
than we were before, and now really
enjoy such acquaintance and friend
ship. 1t has developed the community
spirit. 1t has developed leadership
and will make possible the success of
other enterprises of a public nature.

The eyes of the whole state have
been turned on the little town of
Centerville, where the home-talent
Chautauqua idea has been carried out
for the first time in the state. In
stead of a loss of $500 or so as the
towns of B~rookings, W~atertown, Aber-
deem and many others suffered with
regular Chautauqua companies, Gen.
terville made a profit Of about $500
toward building a community house.
The total proceeds Of the Centerville
Chautauqua where all Of the talent
was right from the town was a little
over $1,000.
The story of the success Of the Cen
terville Chautauqua is told in the fol-
lowing editorial from the Journal:
Chautauqua week has come and
gone, but it will live many weeks, yes
months, in the minds of our people.
The Chautauqua was a huge success
from every point Of view; in enter
tainment features, socially and finan-
cially.
AS our readers will remember Gen.
terville had had a Chautauqua on sew
eral occasions in the past, the talent
