Sheriff Mcdonald, Of Sioux City, had a
narrow escape the other day. He was all
but launched upon the sea of fame as a
temperance lecturer. The worthy ladies
who are managing temperance matters here
in Yankton got a little mixed on names,
and while they wanted John Brennan to
come and relate his experience before one
of their meetings, they inadvertently sub.
stitutsd the name of Med onald for Bren-
nan. The letter of invitation was written
and addressed to "John Mcdonald, r. D.,
Sioux City," and a committee was appoint
ed to carry it the postofice. This proceed
ing came to the knowledge of the husband
of one of the ladies interested. and as. he
happened to be acquainted with the sheriff
OF Woodbury. county, he gave the commit
tee information upon things that he knew
of, and they precipi.ately withdrew the
invitation. But for this the name of John
Mcdonald, Temperance lecturer. would now
adorn the dead walls of Yankton.
