United States legation at Paris.
Word has been received from Presi-
dent Pierce, who has been in Europe
for some time, that he has tloated the
bonds of the Norfolk and Yankton
road. The negotiation has just been
closed. and the deal is very favor
able one. The line of seventy miles,
from Yankton to Norfolk, is bonded
at $l5, 600 per mile. which is very near
to the cost Of construction.
Miss Jessie Sisson, daughter of a
prominent merchant of Chamberlain,
has just completed a chair tidy set
that for artistic work and elegance of
design cannot be surpassed any
where. She used in crOcheting the
tidy more than 1900 yards of threc.
Some Of the designs are original with
her and speak highly of her genius.
The tidy will be exhibited at the
Worlds Fair.
The annual meeting of the South
Dakota Masonic Aid association was
held in Yankton last week. The
reports of officers showed over 10000
GOO of insurance in force and 1925
certificate holders. The death rate
for last year was 5! per cent for every
1000 members, and the cost to men,
bers was s6.7l for every $1,000 OF in
surance in force. l.. b. French. of
Yankton, was elected president.
The college committee at Pierre
has made long report taking up the
twenty-one specifications and declar-
ing each untrue, and finally recom-
mending the removal of Prof. Foster
and all others from the faculty who
are not in harmony with the manage
ment: also the dismissal of Frost
from the senate committee. The re-
port was unanimously adopted. The
result is signal triumph for DIR. Me-
LOuth.
Col. $. II. Jumper, of Aberdeen has
been made auxiliary receiver of the
National Union company for all its
branch stores in South Dakota. He
will Immediately take charge of the
company's assets in the state, but the
majority OF the stores will continue
iii business. 1t is thought there will
be no heavy losers, as the company
has done a cash business right along.
There are a dozen or more stores in
the state the principal headquarters
being in New York.
Startling developments are ex-
pcctcd in relation to the future policy
and plans of the Harney Peak com
pany. No explanation Of the recent
.shut-downof the mines and the mills
have been given. The fact that
nearly 100 tons of casiterite of black
oxide of tin was saved during the late
run and is now ready for shipment
apparently shows that suspension
was not due to the failure OF process
or the lack of tin i'm the ore. The
general opinion at the mines is that
work will be resumed upon Il larger
scale within short time.

On top of the movement to rcmov.
the capital froM Pierre to Huron
comes the declaration that an organ
lied effort will be made to remove til,
Agricultural college from Brooking
| to a point between st. Lawrence anC
Miller. The talk is that in connec
tion with this is project to give til,
permanent state fair to Aberdeen
and a northern hospital for the in
sane to Rcdtield. There are also ru
mors OF political deals in connection
with these propositions, but as eXecll
tion of the plans are SO problematica
they cut but little figure at the pres
ent time
