S. P. Henderson made this office a
pleasant call on Wednesday. He is at
present engaged in the lumber trade at
Spencer, OAK, between Sioux Falls and
Mitchell. He is inclined to think that
Sank Centre is not making the most of
her opportunities. He says the reputa-

first-class and with strong and united
pull he is confident vast strides forward
could be made He knows of no town in
the west with natural advantages equal
to ours. He expects to return here at no

Henry Keller has perfected tanning
mill which is destined to take first placein
the market and he has that confidence in
it that he will proceed to manufacture
six thousand of them for next season.
The essential features of the old mill,
which was as near perfection as human
ingenuity had achieved in that direction,
W i'll be retained and to them is added a
power which reduces the labor of opera

of crank power. The new device is simple
utilizing the principle of the rail and
| velocipede, both feet and hands being en-

seen it agree that it is a brilliant success
Senator Keller and Representative Cap
ser came up from St. Paul on Saturday,
and while here the bill providing a city
charter for Sank Centre was pretty fully
and freely discussed by our citizens, and
after a number of changes had been made
in it, the one being the exemption of the
new territory included in the proposed
city limits from existing indebtedness, it
was decided that it would be for the best
interests of all concerned to have the
! bill passed. 1t provides for two wards
with three alderman from each, this,
with the mayor, shall constitute the city
council. All officers shall be elected as at
present, excepting the clerk who shall be
appointed by the mayor and confirmed
| by the council. The elections shall be
held on the first Tuesday in April in each
year. The expenses of conducting a city
government will not be greater than now
required by the village. There are many
features which will be decided improve
ment upon the general village law under
which we are now organized.

what was to be sprung upon them, but
