Knights Templars degree in Masonry,
being among the first to attain that
exalted honor in that lodge.
County Auditor Runkel is notifying
township clerks to make returns of tax
levies in specific amounts and not by the

and excess OF work and taxes where
unnecessary.
The Epiphany Guild young folks) of

Argus-L Leader, 8: Undoubtedly the
fastest train run in South Dakota to-day
10 Paddy Moran's Milwaukee "hyer"from
Canton to Egan. The schedule time be-
tween Harrisburg and this city is almost
a mile a minute. The schedule time be-
tween this city and Baltic, q distance Of
twelve miles, is twenty minutes. This
train is certainly we'll named.
The telegram last evening announcing
the victory of the Madison team in the
championship banner contest at Mitchell
proved unreliable. Those returning
from there this morning state the time
made was Madison 46 seconds. Mitchell
A. Madison's former record was 43
seconds. A strong wind yesterday and
rising track probably accounts for the
falling of in the record.
j. A. Trow returned last evening from
Chamberlain whittier he went as a dele
gate to the grand lodge Of Knights OF
Pythias. Mr.. Trow feels quite enthusi.
astic over the grand session thelodge en-
joyed and: the very prosperous condition
OF the order there developed. He has
also reason to be proud OF the honors
received himself for We notice he has
been elected grand master OF the ex-
change by a unanimous vote Of the grand
lodge. Chamberlain entertained her
visitors right royalty and Aberdeen was
chosen for the place OF meeting next
year. Mr.. Trow starts for Chicago to
morrow in response to a telegram that
Mrs. Trow 10 confined o bed with a
severe attack Of rheumatism. This
seems especially unfortunate as she
had gone there to take charge Of the
ladies exhibited in the South Dakota
building to relieve other ladies who
were virtually Frustrated by the ex-
hausting strain of worlds fair work and
Chicago climatic conditions.
Since the action Of the city council
last evening has become known in the
matter Of shutting of the electric light
ing Of the streets q long, vigorous "kick"
has been registered by the advocates of
street lighting, and they are many. The
fact OF the city's shutting down on light
and appropriating money to buy the in
struments OF a defunct brass band is
made the basis OF an odious comparison.
OF course, there are two. sides to the
question and the council ought to know
its business better than anybody else.
