THE CITY.

THE CITY.
LOCAL BH~EVITIES.
Delicious bread and Dwight's Flour
go hand-in-hand.
Chas. Crane, formerly a Madison tele-
graph operator, arrived this evening.
Farmers in the city today were jubi-
liant over the excellent crop prospects.
Weather report: Fair and slightly
warmer tonight. Sunday fair with
southerly winds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hogan returned
to their home at Sioux Falls by the
morning passenger.
September wheat closed in Minneap,-
lis last evening at IS cents, an advance
OF ~ cents over the day previous.
Geo. johnson clerk in C. H. Woods
drug store, is confined to his home on
Lake Madison with inflammation OF the
kidneys.
Howard Advance IL: Mrs. N. NJ. Stott
and Mrs. Cal. Nichols, OF Madison, rode
into Howard Tuesday on their wheels
returning in the afternoon. While here
they we're the guests OF Mrs. Davoll.
Why should it be said that our Amerl-
a women are degenerating in strength.
when ladies can so easily make q forty
five mile run.
. Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. X. Farmers little
son was taken suddenly i'll with Group at
the auditorium yesterday afternoon. and
the impression got abroad that he was
in q dying condition, but the little fellow
is all right again today with the excep-
lion OF the consequent results OF q seige
with the dreaded child ailment.
Canton Advocate, IL: James and
Hattie Byrnes, of Beresford, were in the
city last week visiting with the family Of
W: ]; Ryrnes. Miss Hattie just gradu-
ated j Me Normal school at Madison.
She left for Evansville. Wis, last Satur
day, expecting to return to South Dako-
Ia next fall and take q position in the
Milbank city schools.
v Up to last evening, four days, the gate
receipts at the Chautauqua had slightly
exceeded $500. Yesterdays receipts
amounted to S275. This is considered
quite encouraging by the management.
Tent rents and income from other
sources is yet to be added to the above
which will probably swell the gross
receipts to the amount usually taken in
during the first four days of previous
sessions.
\ Immense quantities of binding Irvine
and quite a number of new harvesting
machines were hauled out Of the city to-
day. and work in the grain fields will be
generally commenced Monday, the bar
ley crop being ready for the sickle. A
number Of transient workingmen have
arrived during the past few days. and
Lake county's greatest harvest will be
under. full sway within the next ten days.
The warm weather of the past few days
has had a tendency to mature the grain
rapidly.
Our citizens should keep in mind that
next Friday, Veterans Day at the Chau
tauqus, will be one OF the grandest days
Of the session. The orator of the day
will be Gen. John B. Gordon, U. s. sena-
tor from Georgia, and his subject will be
''The last days Of the Confederacy." Sem
ator Gosdon enjoys an enviable reputa-
ton as n Of the nations most accom-.
plished orators, and his appearance is
looked upon by persons posted in nation
al affairs as the u.ost important feature
OF this years Chautauqua assembly.
x r. b. Fitzgerald last evening received
q letter from Jacob Kundert, who went
to Chicago a few days ago for medical
aid, stating that he withstood the jour
ney ~excellently, and really felt better
upon his arrival than when he departed
from home. He had called upon his
physician and received encouragement
Of his ultimate recovery, being informed
shat the operation that at first was
thought to be necessary would probably
be abandoned. Mr.. Kundert's friends in
this city will be pleased to learn this
encouraging news.
It is remarkable the number Of vehi.
clss on the streets during the forenoon
Of each day. 1t seems that Chautauqua
visitors from the surrounding towns have
come largely by private conveyance, and
devote the forenoon to driving about the
city. The bicycle is also a popular mode
OF locomotion, and it is estimated that at
least l5O bicycle riders go to and from
the lake daily. The motor undoubtedly
feels the effect Of the private conveyance
and the bicycle, although heavy loada
were carried to the lake yesterday. It
IL estimated that over 1900 people we're
