OF the green" today, was a holy terror

hind st. Patrick. As the local bard sung
OF his tntelar saint on the hill Of Howth,
sit was on the top Of that hign mount.
SAINT Patrick preached his sarmints;
He made the frogs jump through the bogs,
Aud banished all the varmints.''
Attorney 4. B. McMartin and Stem.
ographer Geo. M. Highly of Sioux Falls
we're engaged taking evidence yesterday
afternoon and this forenoon in the South
Dakota bank tax ease before Geo. r.
Farmer, Esq, referee. MI. McMartin
represented NJ. w. DAILY, the assignee OF
the bank, and who is resisting the as
sessment in this case, and F. L. Soper,
ESQ. represented the county. Mr..
Farmer will find the facts and submit
them to Judge Aikens for adjudication.
A young man OF this city who makes
occasional visits tosSioux Falls and tries
to elude the vigilance OF the reporter,
furnished the boys in the back alley
yesterday afternoon any amount Of
amusement. He got of the train back
at the water tank and soon lost his over
shoe in the mud and water, but kept
bravely on his course, up the muddy
alley blowing through slush and water
much to the disbursement OF boot polish
and clean pants.
Sioux Falls Press, 8: The d~isorderly
house ordinance recently passed by the
Sioux Falls city council seems to be in
great demand as q pattern for nelghbor-
ing cities perplexed by the saloon prob
lem. City Auditor Williams has received
frequent requests for a copy OF the ordi-
nance from city officials, the latest be-
ing from Mitchell and from Jamestown,
N. ID. It is also known that several
Iowa cities are adopting almost an iden-
tical ordinance for the control OF such
matters.
Sioux Falls Press, 10: William Hand,
the fellow who escaped from the clutches
of the sheriff of Lincoln county while
that official was taking him from Elan
dreau to Canton is now located in Luz
verne, MINI. It will be remembered
that Hand jumped from the train while
il was going forty miles an hour. He
took his leap near Baltic. He explained
to several parties from this city that he
crawled out OF the window in the water
closet and got onto the platform OF the
car, and made the jump from there.
The only mark he got was on his nose,
and that is only a scratch.
Ped's Players held forth to q good
house last evening and merited q great
deal OF applause from an a~ppreciatlve
audience. The little girls songs and
dancing we're taking features OF the
evenings performance, and Mr.. Raden-
baugh's lofty tumbling was highly en-
Otto Brorby's club swinging
was a marvel OF grace and agility and
we feel safe in saying that he is the
peer IL not the superior Of any mute club
swinger in the world. Win Smiths ath-
letics rs well as clown performances at
forded no end OF amusement and the
"darkey' in the farce was a heavyweight.
The Lake City band contributed it's
usual spice to the performance and the
city band is richer by $26, as their share
of the receipts.
The Chautauqua meeting held at the
M. E. parsonage last evening had agood-
~ attendance and the usually interest
ing program. The quotations on archi-
tscturai subjects and table talk on cur

practical thoughts, while the tests Of
ch~aracterizing the Grecian generals OF
