D., Nov. 2.—(Special)— One of the greatest games of foot ball in the northwest on Thanksgiving day wiil be that plaved between the Mitchell uni- versity and Yankton college, the game to be played in this city. These teams have met twice before this season. The first game was a tle and the second was won by Mitchell by the small score of G to 5. The champlonship of the state will rest largely upon the games played at Bloux City that day between Vermilion and. the Agriculs tural college team of Fargo, N. D., and the Yankton-Mitchell game. Lust month Mitch- ell played Fargo at Abordeen nnd broke even with it. A few weeks ago Fargo and Grand Forks played and Fargo won by a large margin. Last vear Mitchell and Grand Forks played and ihe former won 41 to 0. Mitchell's team i« much stronger than a ar ako and would put up an entirely dit- ferent game with the Forks this year. Under the efforts of Coach Norton, who made Vermilion o successful in its playing last year. Mitchell has made wonderful progress in the game and it is conceded there fs not a stronger team In the state. Should Fargo win the game with Vermilion at Sioux City it will give Mitchell the champlonship of the &tate on account of the tle game wit Fargo. It {8 possible that a_game can be arranged with Vermillon after its game with Fargo.

HURON, 8. D., Nov. 25.—(Special.)—Dr. T. M. Shanafelt, superintendent of Bap- tists misslons and secretary of the Baptist state convention, gives some interesting facts in his report for the last year. The amount of money available for mission pur- | poses within the state was $7,000, which was conditioned that the churches contrib- |uted $2,400, making a total of $9,400. | Durlng the year two new churches were organized, at Wagner and Millard. Two | new houses of worship were dedicated, at Sun Prairfe and Strandburg, and three others are In process of erection, at Ver- non, Wagner and Keystone. Parsonages have been bullt at Canton, DeSmet, Spirit Mound and Bryant. The total valuation of these new buildings is $11,000, Eleven young men have been ordained to the work of the ministry, twenty-three ministers have come from other states and fitteen have removed from the state. The whole number of baptisms is 335. The total re- ported membership in 108 churches is 5,9 This s 127 less than last year. Two facts wiIl account for this apparent decrease. One s the unusually large number of churches that have been lopping off use- less and dead branches by the ecxercise of scriptural discipline. The other Is the withdrawal of the church of Akron from the Southern Dakota association for the purpose of uniting with an assoclation in fowa.

Work Among Fo: gners. Among the people of foreign birth the cause continues to make encouraging prog- ress. The German Baptists are doing ag- gressive work. Under the energetie lead- ership of Rev. Andrew Swartz the Scan- dinavian Baptists are pushing forward along all lines of work. Nearly all the churches in the Black Hills are prosper- ing. The rapld development of mining interests in many localities there s se- curing material prosperity and to some extent religlous activity has been quick- ened. The recent annual meeting of the Black Hills assoclation at Deadwood was one of unusual interest, The extension during the year of rall- road lines northwestward from Yankton and westward from Bowdle toward the Missouri river has resulted In the cstab- lishment of several new and already flour- ishing villages in Charles Mix and Wal- worth countles. On the new line extending northwestward from Yankton a Baptist church has been organized at Wagner.

Reports of division commanders were read by Adjutant War- Ten, as were also the reports of the assist- ant adjutant general, assistant quarter- master general, and division chaplain These reforts Indlcated a healthy condition of the army throughout the department, and that much for the benefit of the old soldiers and their families fs belng accomplished through the channels of the organization Routine business occupled the time of fol- lowing sessions. The election of officers resulted as fol- lows: George A. Ludlow of Sioux Falls, division commander, with rank of major general; J. B. Walgemuth of Mitchell, senfor brigade commander, with rank of brigadier general; R. T. Warner ot Water- town, junfor brigade commander, with the rank of brigadier general.

(Special.)— The McBride case against the citizens of Mitchell for the destruction of his print- fog office four years ago will be given Its | first public hearing in this city, com- mencing Monday afternoon. The case was postponed from the regular term for the reason that McBride filed an afdavit or petition with the court that Judge Smith was prejudiced against him and asked for a new judge to hear the case. At that time it was too late for Judge Smith to se- cure anothar ofclal and the case was set far enough ahead to secure one Campbell of Aberdeen has consented to appear on the bench for Judge Smith.

PIERRE, 8 D, Nov. 2.—(Speclal) Land Commissioner Eastman has about compl 4 q his biennfal report for the period ending June 20, 1900, In which he shows the work which {s being done toward bullding up a fund for the benefit of the common schools and varlous educational institutions of the state After a general review as to the methods of handling the state funds, he gives a few atatements in his letter of transmittal, calling attentfon to the tabulated work in the body of the report, which gives in full just what Is belng done by the office, and which is of interest generally, as are all the departments of state which have to do with the revenues. ~ The letter shows that the amount of the permanent school fund now held by the state, which has been received from the varfous sources, s $2,372,026, on which the state is drawing interest for the benefits of the schools. The amount which the de- partment has paid toward the support of the common schools of the state since 1890 1s $1,377,747 The state was granted 2,150,480 acres of common school lands, which does not in- clude the sections in reservations granted for such purposes. Attentlon is called to the fact that with the additional $1,200 for clerk hire, and $400 for expenses granted the department by the last leglslature, it has been able to secure topographical records of the state lands in a number of countics, and also to keep a wan in the fleld looking trespassers, sccuring by this lease funds from many tracts which have been used for years without any revenue to the state, in which the new deputy has many times paid the additional cost to the state A still greater appropriation 1s asked of the coming legisluture to further carry on this work. Attention is further called to the fact that the state owns a number of large tracts of land which it is hard to lease on account of lack of water, and especial at- tentlon is called to & tract of 58,720 acres in Fall River county, for which an appro- priation is asked to sink an artesian well, taking the position that the rental would soon pay any such expense, and bring the state a profit from property which s now bringing nothing. Out of 238,103 acres of state lands sold, only 400 acres have come back to the state by the fallure of the purchasar to make the required payments. Under the provislons of the act allow- ing the sale of dend and down timber on state lands, such timber has been disposed of to the amount of $1,404.50, most of this belng in Lawrence count dorsement for B er Sapply. LEAD 8. D., Nov (Spectal.) ~The Homestake Mining company has completed its new water ditch, which ts to furnish the stamp mills, cyanide plants and the cltles of Lead and Deadwood, with water. The great steam pumps started to work for the first time this week, pumping the water over a hill, 400 feet high. The water has now reached the big reservoir tank of tho Ellison holst in this city. Everthing about the undertaking has turned out successfully. The day before the water from Spearfish river reached the city through the twenty- five miles of ditches, flumes and old creek beds, the Homestake company was com- pelled to shut down nearly every stamp in the four mille, owing to the freezing up of the water supply, which had been fur- nishing the mills with water. The company now has an evetlasting supply of water, which will mean the doubling of the output of the mines within a very short time It 16 stated on the best of authority that the Homestake company now has an order in with one of the largest iron and machine works in Chicago, for a new stamp mill, which will make seven mills operated by this company, with a total of about 1,000 etamps. It is stated here that Mrs Phoote Hearst and J. B. Haggln, of San Francisco and New York, have a desire to increase the capacity of the mills to such an extent that they will have the largest dally tonnage ot any gold mine in the world This increase can now be made with the new water supply. A million dollars has been heen expended by the company in getting this water into the city. Farme. ELMCREEK, Unfon Ditch, b., Nov. 25.—(Speclal.)— Mr. Lewis of Lincoln, president of tho Farmers' Unlon Ditch company, which operates In the vicinity of this place, on Thursday evening met the patrons of the ditch in a meeting to consider a new form of water contract and discuss irrigation matters in general. About thirty-five farm- ers were present. Only one objection was made to the proposed raise on corn irriga- tion from $1 tc $1.20 per acre. The rate on small grain remains the same, $1 per acro. Owing to fhe shortage of crops in this vi- cinity thls year, and the flue results ob- tained by those using water, Mr. Lewls anticipates more applications for water than can be filled with the present size of the maln ditch. Corn, under irrigation, ‘s going from forty to sixty bushels per acre, while that not irrigated is from u total faflure to ten bushels. Small graln has been proportionately benefited, and, owing to the unusually high prices of grain and stock this year, the farmers who have avalled themsclves of the ciance 1o irrigate will close u very prosperous year. Burglar ta Overtaken, YANKTON, 8. D., Nov. 25.—(Spectal)— The village of Irene Is considerably stirred up over the burglaries of the week. On last Tuesday night Kirk's saloon was broken into and the bartender overpowered, after a sharp struggle, and after threats of killing. The burglars here secured about $17, & watch and some whisky. On Thursday night the O. K. billlard hall, operated by Thomas Jensen, was broken fnto and $80 secured. This last outrge aroused the town and an organized search at once fusti- tuted. At Volin the first trace of the thiey was found in the suspicious conduct of a young fellw named Kenney, who had just skipped town. At Mission Hill Kenney was caught Just as he was about to board the Great Northern train for Yankton. A search of hls person discovered the money of the last burglary and the watch of the first. Kenney is lodged In the Clay county Jall, but 80 far no trace of his confederate in the operations have been found. Estimates for School Support. RAPID CITY, §. D., Nov. 2.—(Speeial)— At a meeting of the State Board of Regents, It was decided to ask for the following ap- propriations for the institutions of educa- tion In the state: For the state university at Vermillion, $38,000 for maintenance and $25,000 to $50,000 for a new science hall; agricultural college, $40,000 for maintenance; Madivon normal, $20.000 for maintenanc Springfield normal, $10,000 for maintenance; Speurfieh normal, $10.000 for malntenance. The faculty of the State School of Mines will usk for an appropriation for a new building and about $15,000 for maintenance. This school has outgrown the bulldings now used and it is abrolutely necessary that & new building be provided by the state Fire Protection WOONSOCKET, 8.

Wituin @ tew days Architect Lavis of tae of Education will commence work on the plans for a new High scaool bulld ing, in compliance with the instructions of the board tssued a week or more wgo. It Is not the intention of the board to make any attempt to construct the entire butld- Ing next year, unless the people desire it and will fssue bonds. The structure as proposed wiil consist of a maln portion and two wings. Members of the board sAy that it will be necessary to have the plans for the efitire bullding before the erec- tlon of one of the wings can be com- menced, in order to judge how the com- pleted structure will look. Providing the plans offered by Architect Davis are ac- cepted he will recelve one-half of his com- mission for the same and then the board will go ahead and make arrangements for the construction of a portion of the bullding the idea beihg to get to work as soon as possible in the spring. With an eight-room wing on the site at Twenty-third and K streets the renting of quite a number of outside rooms can be dispensed with, In speaking of the opposition of some of the members of the board to the pro- posed plan a business man sald yesterday “A year ago the same members of the board who are now opposing the High school project appeared before the Commercial club with a proposition \o vote bonds for the purchase of « cite and the erection of a High school bullding. The plan was not, towever, endorsed by the Commercial club and for a time the matter was dropped as it was not deemed advisable to bond the district. The one wing which it fs pro- posed to erect will cost In the neighborhood of $30,000, the estimated cost of the entire building being $100,000. While it Is true that there fs no great amount of money in the school treasury at the present time funds will come from various sources be- tween now and the close of the fiscal year #0 that the overlap, it is stated, will not be any larger this year than it has been before.”" Complain About Stdewalk, Restdents in the viclaity of Twent and J streets, as well as the membe First Presbyterian church, are com- plaining about the condition of the side walk between Twenty-fourth and Twenty fifth strects on J street. This one block of J street is not graded, for the reason that ene property owner will not sign a petition for the grading. A temporary sidewalk has been located on the north side of the street, but it Is so steep that it is almost Impassable except In dry weather. Efforts are being made to have the block graded, but until this is done the residents and members of the church think that the street commissioner should be instructed to nail some cleats on the walk to assist pedestrians. It s thought that if this matter is called to the attention of the council It will be promptly attended to. Labor Temple Committee, Local labor unions are still working for the erection of a labor temple in this city and with this ldea In view the committee in charge of the matter has been enlarged. At a recent meeting of the Trades anl Labor council a number of names were added to the committee and it was made permanent. This committee s now made up as follows. Edward Copenharve, chair- man; A. N. Davis, secretary: Jobn H. Ding- man, treasurer, and M. J. Ritzgerald, J. W Howard, James Salmon, Frank Derr. The plan is to have this committes serve until the proposed building s erected. Several sites are in view, but no selection has been made as yet Councll Meeting Tonight, There will be a meeting of the eity coun- cil tonight, or at least thiat is the expecta- tion. Two or three new ordinances, among them being the boiler inspection ordinance, will come up for first reading. Besides these & number of communications are to be acted upon and some street repairs or- dered.
