LECTURE CouRsE.-Those of our
citizens who were fortunate enough
to be present when the subject of
american History and Human
Physiology'i were so enteytainingly
presented to the recent Teachers
Institute, by Prof. j. +. Mannix
and DIR. l.. c. Mead, have become
impressed with the idea that a series
of lectures upon these subjects by
Prof. Mannix and DR.. Mead to be
delivered before the High school,
would be greatly beneficial to the
students thereof. We understand
that upon the earnest solicitation OF
a number of our prominent citizens
and school patrons the Prof. and
DIR. have consented to allow such a
program to be arranged. A splen-
did Anatomical chart lately pur-
chased by the school board will be
used to illustrate Physiology, and
the ability of DR.. Mead to present
chat subject in q popular rs we'll as
scientific manner has been abun'
dantly demonstrated, while Prof
Mannix's thorough knowledge o.
American History, combined witt
his rare gift in presenting that sub
ject in a novel and pleasing style,is
sure guarantee that the contemplat
ed series Of lectures will be most un
tensely interesting. Full particular
as to time and place of these lee
lures will no doubt be announces

nv lIiO Va WY '"So
week, the temperance people defeat
ed the saloon element nearly two to
one. Elk Point sends greeting.
The commissioners proceedings
haye crowded out several important
matters this week which will
receive proper attention next week.
There was a pleasant party at II.
M. Pierce's last night in honor Of the
Misses Dilley, of Elk Point. Cards
were the order of the occasion, and a
fine collation. was seirved.-tStouG City
Tribune.
DR.. w, J. Comfy has purchased
the interest of his partner, DIR. J. S.
Talcott, in the City Drug Store, and
will hereafter run that establishment
alone, which he is perfectly compe.
tent to do. The DIR. proposes to
keep nothing but good goods and
sell them at popular prices.
We call the attention Of our read.
ers to the ordinance relating to"nui-
sauces." published in this paper
We advise everyone to read it care
fully, and endeavor to avoid any
difficulty with the city authorities.
as they intend to strictly carry out
the provisions of that ordinance.
The citizens league had another
meeting last Saturday evening and
adopted a constitution and bylaws
and fully organized with a member
ship of over fifty. The membership
perhaps will be increased to over
one hundred. A pledge fund of
nearly $1,000 has been raised as a
sort of guarantee that the associa-
ton means business and propose to
see that tie laws and city ordinan-
ces are not violated.

wear was Friday and the last day
vii be Friday. And worse still,
there are Gtty-thrce Fridays in the
year. And to make matters still
more p]ortentious of evil, Fridays
stick themselves most conspicuous
" Through the months of the year.
Four of the months are blackcned
with FIVE Fridays each. The moon
has selected Friday for five Of her
changes, and The longest and short
est days OF the year occuron Friday.
Efforts are being made to run a
ditch from the slough commencing
near Judge kiplinger's residence to
the Sioux River. A preliminary
survey has been made by county
surveyor, VIM. Ninson and it is
found to be a very practicable route,
a fall of fifteen feet in three and a
half miles being found. A petition
asking for this ditch has been pre-
scented to the commissioners and
their action on the matter is awaited
with considerable interest, by the
farmers to be directly benefited.
The proposed ditch will u%ndoubted-
~ be Il great benefit to farmers con-
tiguous to the slough and reclaim to
farming purposes a large body Of
land along the entire line Of the
ditch to the river. 1t is hoped the
matter will be pushed to a success
ful termination.
