Splendid Program was Given.
The connnercciTV nt exercises of St.
Mary’s Academy were held hl the K
C. Hall last Tuesday evening when
the largest class in the.history of the
Academy were graduated. The class
of 1913 was composed of twenty yonng
ladies, two of whom.^Miss Ireneia
Bigiin and Miss Beatrice Cronin, first
started to school in the basement of
the old church, before the convent
was completed, beiDg the only mem
bers of the class that received their
entiie education at St. Mary’s. The
program of the evening was well ren
dered and was witnessed by a crowded
bouse. Miss Frances McGrane, of
Atkinson, had the salutitary and1 Miss
Loretta Hickey this valedictory.
Both of these yoimg ladies did re
markably well and gave evidence of
the careful training they had received
in tLeir school work. Piano solos
were rendered by Miss Mildred
Downey, Miss Lyda Gatzemeyer and
Miss Fay Hotchkiss and each demon
strated their ability as musicians.
Miss Helen Shoemaker rendered an
original poem to St. Mary’s in which
she expressed the feeling each member
of the class felt for the dear old school
and the memories thev would carry
through life of the happy flays spent
there and the kind sisters who looked
after their welfare. A vocal solo by
Miss MaTy Fitzsimmons was warmly
greeted. Miss Mary has a voice Of
rare sweetness and'power. *
Rev. M. F. Cassidy then conferred
the honors upon the graduates and
twenty-six graduates of the eight
grade, who enter high school next
year. Rev. E. M. Gleason delivered
an address to the graduates which
was one of the best ever delivered on
a similar occasion in this city And he
was warmly applauded at his con
clusion.
The following young ladies wete
the members of the class of 1913:
Etta Barret, Fremont, Neb. ■

O'Neill Trims Atkinson,
Atkinson 3; O’Neill 5.
The above figures tell the story of
the outcome of the ball game on the
local diamond last Sunday,'between
Atkinson and O’Neill, and it was one
of the best games ever staged between
these two teams. The victory was
well earned and caused the local boys
much joy for it is the first time in
nearly a quarter of a century that an
O’Neill team, composed entirely ol
local talent, has been able to~ clean
Atkinson. Of course we were able to
defeat them five years ago, but at
that time O’Neill had a salaried
aggregation and deserved success.
The game Sunday was a case of too
much Ryan as far as Atkinson was
concerned. Tim Ryan, who handles
wires for the Northwestern in this
city, was cn the mound for the locals
and was as stingy with hits as the
average man is with a contribution
box. He allowed but six bits during
the game, two of which came in the
sixth inning and coupled with a walk
netted Atkinson one run. He war
in a rather tight hole In the eight
when Townsend connected for two
sacks; Webber went out on a fly to
| Murphy but Blackburn connected for
his third hit of the game and Town
send took third. At this stage of the
game it looked as if Atkinson ,was
bound to score bpt Ryan tightenednip
and fanned Milner and Ravmer, allow
ing Dr. Townsend to pass peacefuWy
away on third. Occasionally Ryan
would forget th^t there was an anti
pass law in this slate and he gave the
Atkinson boys four free passes to first.
Two of these passes resulted in scores
for Atkinson. In the second Black
burn was walked, stole second and
took third on an error by Tomstck
• nii scored while Pcuddler was going
Out from'll Uisiol, lot'uiM'n In the
the sixth inning Townsend walked,
was sacrificed to second, took third on
Blackburn’s hit and scored on Milner’s
single. Atkinson made their first
score in the first inning. Dickerson
walked but was caught at third on
Miller’s slow one to short, Miller tak
ing second on the play and he scored
on a double by Kirkland. A splendid
stop and throw by Boyle and a one
handed handed catch of a fly by Coyle
killed a threatened rally in the ninth
O’Neill was blacked In the first
inning but they came back in the*
second and pushed one score across
the rubber. Tomsick walked, was
sacrificed to second Dy Kansas, took
third on a hit by Conklin and scorad
on Murphy’s hit. In the third inning
O’Neill tied the score. Boyle first up
connected for a three sacker; Alberts
went out on an attempted sacrifice to
the pitcher; Lorge went out on a high
foul to .the catcher. The catcher
walked out on the diamond to receive
the congratulations of the pitcher on
his great catch, living the home
plate unprotected, and, although It
was Sunday and Boyle is supposed to
be above petty pilfering he promptly
“swiped” the home plate, bringing
cheers from the assembled crowd and
great grief to Atkinson. It is a safe
bet that the boys from our sister city
will never leave the home plate un
protected when Boyle is on a base.
No scoring in the fourth or fifth, but
in the sixth O’Neill proceeded to
annex two more for good measure and
to win the game. Conklin connected
for a hit and scored on Murphy’s
double. Murphy then scored on a
long fly to right by Boyle. O’Neill
made another in the st venth for good
luck. Tomslbi^ connected with
one of Kirkland’s twisters for tltree
sacks and scored on aq error by
Webber. That ended tha'7s«ipring,
but O’Neill had enough to win' and
the boys were satisfied.
Eddie Alberts was on the receiving
end for O’Neill and although Eddie
has not caught much the past three or
four years performed like in the days
of old, taking in everything in sight
Scuddler was in the box iqi Atkinson
for the first sixth Innings and six of
the seven hits made by O’Neill were
from his delivery. In the seventh
Inning Kirkland took>tbe mound and
in Che two innings he pitched allowed
but one hit, a throe sacker by Tom
sick, and fanned four of the eight
men that faced him. When “Kirk”
has control the average player can do
very little with his delivery.
Score by innings:

Hits: O’Neill 7; Atkinson 6; Errors

Take Plenty of Time to Eat.
There is a saying that "rapid eating
is slow suicide.” If you have formed
the habit of eating too rapidly you
are most likely suffering from in
digestion or constipation, which will
result eventually in serious illness un
less corrected. Digestion begins in
the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivat
ed. Then when you have a fullness of
the stomach or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Cham,
berlain’s Tablets. Many severe cases
ofstomaoh trouble and constipation
have been oured by the use of there
tablets. They are easy to take and
most agreeable in effect. For sale by

Attorney for Plaintiff Dismisses Big
Suit Against Burlington.
ARRESTS WITNESS FOR PERJURY
Man WhoTestifled for Plaintiff Makes
Affidavit that He Swore Falsuly
and Now In County Jail.
The case of Walter A. QuiiBby
against the Burlington railroad Com
pany for $47,000 00 for personal injuries
alleged to have been received by being
thrown from a train on defendants
company’s road on August 13, 1909,
came to a sudden end in district
court last Tuesday morning, the case
being dismissed at the request of
plaintiff’s attorneys.
The case was started last Friday
and a number of witnesses had been
examined, ^n his petition Quitnby
alleged that be purchased a ticket at
Spearttsn, S. D.,on August 13, 1909,
for passage to Deadwood, S. D. That
the train was so crowded that he was
unable to find room in the car and
was compelled to stand upon the
platform holding onto a brake, when
the car took a sudden luroh, the brake
turned over and he was thrown from
the car upon the rocks at the side of
the road and received serlouB injuries,
as follows: His back was out and
bruised upon the right side and partly
across upon the left side and his right
arm was cut, bruised and injured;
his right shoulder was cut, bruised in
jured and mangled; was severally in
jured across the spine and received a
severe cut,on the head which necessi
tated putting several stitches therein;
that he was also severely injured in
the back. That on account of said
injuries he was compelled in October,
1912, to have the nerves cut out of his
right arm above and below the elbow
and that it will be further necessary
for him to have the said elbow opened
scraped and operated upon; that said
arm is and ever will be lame. That
by reason of said injuries he is and
ever will be weak, lame and diseased,
as aB of said Injuries are Permanent.
Among the witnesses who testified
for the plaintiff and who testified that .
the car was so crowded that it was
Impossible to obtain a seat therein or
standing room on account of the
crowded condition of the car, was E,
J. Eastwood and wife of Dead wood,
who claimed to be passengers on the
train returning to Deadwood.
When oourt convened Tuesday
morning the attorney for the Tailroad
company informed the court that be
has affidavit from Eastwoods in
which they swore to faots about as
follows: That the train was not
crowded when it left Spearfisb and
that there were no passengers in the
aisles of the car, and that he was
promised compensation from the
plaintiff if he camel down here and
testified for him. That since coming
here he had repeatedly asked plaintiff
for money and to make settlement
but that he was always put off, plain
tiff saying he would take care of it
after awhile. That when plaintiff
came to him and asked him to be a
witness for him that he replied that
It would cost him about #200, and that
plaintiff replied that he would pay
him and pay him well. Mrs. East
wood’s affidavit is substantially the
same as that of husband. She says
there were vacant seats in the car
both before and after Mr. Qulmby fell
from the train. The affidavit was
acknowledged before the Burlington
attorney in this city.
When the announcement of the
contents of the affidavit was made Mr.
