Arthur Halvursen, who clerked in 'The
Fair two years ago, arrived in Webster
Monday morning to make q short visit
with his uncle, II. NJ. Balser, and other
friends. Arthur is now in the employ of
the Illinois Central R'y and is located at
Clinton, I'll.
Mr.. Walker, representing the st, Paul
Dispatch, was in the city today, looking
after the interests OF chat paper. 1t has
a fine list here; Mr.. W. is a rustler and
keeps it steadily increasing. One OF the
secrets OF his success is, he has something
10 offer as the Dispatch is we'll to the top
OF the COLUMN among the metropolitan
Journals.
Through the $p&rsistent Efforts OF the
department commander, G. W. Carpen-
ter, the railroads have modified their
rates to the twelfth annual encampment
OF the Department OF South Dakota, @.
\. r., at Pierre, June 5-6-7, 1895, and

The sever year Old daughter OF Joseph
McKibben, OF Rusk Township, met with
quite a serious and painful accident last
Tuesday while at play. She was running
and tripped, falling in such a manner as
to dis!ocate the right arm at the elbow.
Her father Immediately brought her to
town and had the dislocatioR reduced,
and she will probably suffer no perma-
nent injury from the hurt.
Chas. Anderson and Squire Kendall
made "a big catch at Enemy Swim the
first OF the week and had the fish on ex-
hibition at Ross on Monday. They got
three monsters, the largest weighing
over eleven pounds. There has been con
siderable talk about the specie OF the fish
and while some of our Isaac Waltons say
they are pike, as many more swear they
are pickerel; it has been declared a draw
and the boys are eating fried pike-erel.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. John
Norton has decided to retire from bust
ness as a great number OF his friends had
hoped he would resume the old place but
the REPORTER has learned that it was
Mr.. Norton's intention TO retire and that
he could have procured money at any
time to have carried his business through
until a new crop was raised, but he did
not desire to continue. This does away
with one of the Oldest and best business
houses OF Day County.
Ii King Solomon was alive he would
now say, $50 to the travelling man
learn his Wa - aud be wise Mr. C. W
Battel, representing the Queen City lax
Co, after suffering intensely for two or
three days with lameness OF the shoulder
resulting from rheumatism completely
cured it with two applications OF Cham
berlain's Pain Balm. This remedy is
gaining a wide reputation for its prompt
cures OF rheumatism, lame back, sprains,
swellings and lameness. 90 cent bottles
for sale by F Ross & Co, druggists.
The "Hired Man" has recently found
out he has two brothers and numerous
nieces and nephews, andhe is consequent
ly happy. He is employed these days in
Il labor OF loye-iooking up the branches
OF the family tree-and is not so alone in
the world as he had supposed. Arthur
Halvorsen, it seems, supplied the missing
link in the family chain. "Full many a
gem of purest ray serene, the dark un-
fathomed caves N ocean bear; full many
u flower is born to blush unseen and
waste its sweetness on the desert air"
can no longer be applied to III. NJ.
Last Monday morning, the Webster
b. b. Club received IA challenge from the
Bristol bows for a game of ball to be
played this week Saturday. The club
could not play on Saturday but accepted
the challenge for Friday (tomorrow.)
Quite u number OF the local fans will ac-
company the nine and witness the game,
which promises to be very interesting as
understand the Bristol team is in
about as good shape 70 play as our
II this proves true, there is not
the least doubt but that the game will
furnish amusement for the spectators.
