GIRLS PLAY BALL
The Famous Boston Bloomers Put
Kimball to the Bad
Score 10 to a.
Cut a boyish-taced youngster's hair
close, adorn his pate witli a wig and
dress him up in bloomers and out on a
ball ground it is pretty hard to tell
whether he is a man, maid or monkey
—especially if he is bright enough to
keep bis month shut, effects a girl's
mincing gait and gives a peculiar
twist to his arm in throwing a ball.
Herein lies the continued success of
tbe Boston Bloomers," an alleged
ladies base ball club, to which is
added tbe glamor of a special car
highly decorated, advanced by circus
posters with tbe usual exaggerations.
Tbe Bloomers keep tbe crowd guess
ing which js a girl and which is a boy,
and before the spectator has finally
got them sized up the game is over,
the canvas screen pulled down and
loaded on cars and for the first time
the fellow who coughed up a plunk for
two seats to see three girls play ball is
wondering if he isn't a fish.
As a snappy lot of nice, clean ball
players the Bloomer aggregation is all
right. As a ladies base ball club it is
a pure fake. In the game Monday
the tirst base, left liclcl and center
field were covered by young women.
The other six positions were played
by boys and young men. If the outfit
has any more girls who play ball—
which is doubtful—they were not in
evidence. The enterprise has the
Cardill giant beaten to a standstill.
The wonder is how it holds the boards
and draw crowds, unless it is follow
ing the old theory of the late P. T. B.,
that the public likes to be humbugged
Nevertheless, it is an open question
if it isn't worth the price of admission
to see one girl play ball like the young
woman who covers first base. She is
sure a pretty ball player and she can
bat and throw as well as she can catch
She is the nucleus around which
gathers the whole shooting match and
one forgets the fake as a whole in
watching her movements. Almost as
much may be said of the dark-haired
damsel who guards left field—a neat
batter and as slick a base runner as
the best of amateurs. The blonde in
right field gathered a beautiful lly in
the game, showing that she is on to
her job, also. Altogether the three
girls are as good ball players as the
boys with them and the team is even
ly balanced. Not a strong team by
any means, but daily practice togeth
er for week after week enables them
to hold their owu with clubs really
stronger. With the same amount of
practice the nine picked up of Kim
ball players who made such a poor
showing Monday could beat them to a
fareyouwell. The boys they have with
them are, all but two, undersized and
with their wigs and bloomers appear
as much like girls as the girls them
selves. They are on to all the tricks
of the game while putting up a gen
tlemanly contest. One of the slickest
tricks they play is to skip their poor
batters completely when in a pinch—
an Indian trick. One of the girls only
went to the bat once, even though she
lined out a daisy cutter and reached
tirst when she took a try-out. The
slickest trick they played was when
the girl in left was stealing home on
Pat (Quirk's pitching, lie caught her
at it and threw home and the man at
the bat (their catcher) basted thp ball
so the catcher could not gather it in.
It was a sacrifice hit, but one for
which both should have been cgUeU
out, as Pat was not 111 position.
The Kimball boys put up a wretched
game, are open to censure fofno*
strengthing their nine with more out
side players and giving the people
their money's worth as long as "they
got aper cent of the receipts ample to
pay the expenses. Not until the
seventh inning did they get a man
home, when by a little carelessness on
tbe part of the pitcher they managed
to get in three scores. That was atl
they got in the game. Twice the boys
had the bases full early in the game,
but they ran the bases like lobsters
and it was a pudding for the trained
Bloomers to put them out in all sorts
of shapes. T.
The regular ball ground was .tec
wet to use and the game had to
played in a pasture north of th£ tracjt.
The diamond was laid out "in a slfy
shod fashion, short between bases and
the pitching distance proportionate^,
with no boundary mams or base lines
—all of which contributed to the tricks,
of the Bloomers and the undoing of
the picked up nine matched against
them. There was a largo crowd pre
sent ancl dispite the one-sided score it
seemed to enjoy the Tun and got its
money's worth—if in 110 other way in
discussing and arguing which was a
boy and which a girl.

WIND AND^ DEATH
A Tornado Visits Aurora County and
Kills Three Persons
The storm of last Saturday night
was much more severe twenty miles
east of here and accompanied with a
wind that was very close to a tornado.
Not only was the loss of property
great in the county to the east of us,
but three persons lost their liyes.
Wallace Johns, wife and child, resid
ing on a farm tour miles southeast of
Planklnton were killed in she tornado
which tore their house to kindling
wood. The body of Mrs. Johns was
found on tbe pjairie tbe next morning
by neighbors, who missed tbe house,
and soon after Mr. Johns was found
under the floor of tbe house almost
dead with tbe body of the child in his
arms. He died a few hours after. Tbe
family had started to entdfr the cellar
about 11 o'clock the night before
when th». storm struck the house.
The storm also wrecked the bome of
Mrs. Harrison and caused a large
amount of damage to barns and out
buildings all over its path. Five
bridges were taken out of the Fire
steel creek. Walter Tielbein lost seven
horses by ligthning. The loss through
out Aurora county will amount to
many thousand dollars.
It's All a Matter of Bait
Brer Scnaber, of Hudson, says the
fishing at Big Stone lake is simply
splendid, while Clate Tinan, of the
Kimball Graphic, says he never got a
bite in three days' fishing. It's all a
matter of bait.—Plankinton Mail.
"It's a matter of bait." I believe it.
"Bob" wrote me that the suddenness
and frequency with which he caught
black bass at Big Stone was something
wonderful, and that it would renew
my youth just to see them Dite once,
and so forth and so on. Subsequently
I learned that of the fifty-odd fish he
and Aldrich took out the day he was
there there were seven different kinds,
from "pumpkin seeds" to dog fish, but
not a black bass in the lot—and "Bob"
didn't really see one—though it war.
all tbe same—it all being a matter of
bait. It is the marvel of the world
what one sees when one "ain't get a
gun" and stranger yet is the wonder
ful fish one can catch—in his mind—
if the bait is of the right kind. We
live and learn.
A Kimball Man at Pierre,
R. H. Cook dropped in to see us
after his return from Pierre, where he
served on the jury in the U. S. court
last week. Mr. Cook said that he was
never usod better in hislife, especially
at the hotel where he stopped and
came away very much impressed with
the hospitality of the Pierre people—
not by any means an uncommon oc
currence, He said that practically
every Pierre man he met knew about
"that fellow Tinan at Kimball," but
not one of them had a word to say
against him for the part he took in
tne capital fight. That's Pierre al
right.
The suit, which as a juror, Mr. Cook
passed upon, was one in which a Cath
olic priest of Oil City sought to re
cover the payment of $4000 in school
bonds lie held, part of an issue made
during the Pierre-Huron capital fight.
An attempt was made to compromise
on the bond a number of years ago,
Banker Bennett of Pierre going to
Oil City to make the deal. The Cath
olic priest denied that he held the
bonds and the Pierre people were un
able to trace them, though they suc
ceeded in compromising on the re
maining $14,000 of the same issue.
Eventually the priest turned up with
the bonds and demanded payment and
brought suit. He claimed that he did
not produce the bonds when Mr. Ben
nett sought them because he had no
money to
Day
for them. The city of
Pierre put in as a defense that the
holder of the bonds once denied that
he owned them. But he got his ver
dict against the city.

To anyone who will name the man who
is spreading the gospel of Brule county lands
farther did widfcr than 1 am. 1 am not only
spreading the story of Brule county and. her
natural ami cultivated lands from one end of
tbift tJnited Statais to the other but I am doing
It all "the time—In the dead of winter as well
as when the birds begin to nest and the hun
gry home-hunting denizens of the efete East
begin to "sit up and take notice."
It follows, therefore, that if you hare
any land In tbls county, or in Buffalo or
Charles Mi*, which vou want to jfut on the
market at the going market price, I am the
man you want to do business with. 1 can put
your wants before hundreds of real estate buy
ers, and if I can't sell the land it is only lie
cause the price is prohibitive.
I want more lands on my list, and I want'
them right away. The time to sell land is
when there is a demand for it, not when you
have got to chase a man a hundred miles and
choke it into him. I advertise your lands with
no cost to you and keep it up until I find buyer
If you are on the other side—a buyer in
stead of a seller—I have the property right on
my list and you can be dead certain of getting
what you want at a price that is bound to
make you some money. I relieve wants, bring
comfort to the sad and downcast and dispel all
clouds of land sorrow. Open rlav and night, and
no trouble to show the goods Address
