The meeting of the South Dakota
editors at Watertown was most sue
cessful affair in every respect, and, if
we may judge by the spirit manifested,
ought to mark new era in the history
of the organization. The citizens of
Watertown, more especially the ladies,
fairly surpassed all previous records of
hospitality, and if they did not succeed
in winning votes and influences in be-
half Of their capital ambition. it was
not for lack of effort III that direction.
Private residences were thlown open
for the entertainment Of the visitors, a
sumptuous banquet was spread with
all the elaboration OF the reign of the
Caesars, the beauties OF LAX: Kampes-
ka were made visible via private car

sible feature of entertainment was
omitted.

He was surprised at the amount of feeling that
was manifested. He had lived to himself, seen
little society, nevertheless he suddenly discov-
cred that he had been popular. Everyone with
whom he had been connected in however small
away respected him, and showed real pleasure
at his return. The men at the mill-factory
