Services at the Church.

The usual services which mark the
day of thanksgiving were held at the
NJ. E. church in the morning at II
o'clock. Probably Is people braved
the raging storm to attend the services
and they were we'll repaid. The annu-
al sermon was preached by Rev. Mr..
Burleigh of the Congregational church,
and was assisted in the services by the
other pastors Of the city. The pastor
grouped his thoughts under three
heads-the stability OF our government,
the temporal welfare Of man, and the
spreading of the gospel. These three
topics gave the speaker abundant room
for expression, and the sentiments he
uttered led one to believe that the
world was not all bad, that we had
much to live for and much to be thank,
full for. Some very excellent music,
and appropriate to the occasion, was
rendered by the choir.

Of the simplest form and was performed
by Rsv. G. W. Mcconnell, of the Bap-
tist church, in the presence of the rel
a,ives of the contracting parties. The
bride was very handsomely dressed in
white French crepe and carried beau-
tiful bouquet of BRIDES roses, while the
groom appeared in the conventional
black. The bride and groom have
grown from youth to maturity among q
large circle OF friends in this city who
will extend to them the heartiest of
congratulations. The bride is most
agreeable and charming young lady
and will make an excellent helpmate
for the young gentleman she has chos-
en- for her husband. Mr.. Dwight has
been the head salesman for Smith &
Conyes for number Of years and has
developed into capable young business
man, enjoys the full confidence of his
employers and a large circle OF friends.
AS testimonial of the high regard in
which the young couple are held they
were presented with beautiful array
of presents. Mr.. and Mrs. Dwight
start out on the sea of matrimony with
prospects bright and cheerful and THE
REPUBLICAN sincerely hopes that no
cloud, however small, will ever appear
in their life, which portends 80 much
happiness. They have taken apart
ments over Smith & Conyes' store and
will be at home to their friends after
Dec. Goth.

tally where the subsoil is stiff clay
and comes within say q foot of the sur
face it will no doubt be very beneficial,
as the loose bed affords good drainage
in wet weather on low places, and in
dry weather will gather moisture from
below and above sthus storing supply
for feeding the roots OF crops much
longer than the same soils will do un-

more of a detriment than good, and

We all feel jubilant over the condi-

soaring high with the prospects of an

remember that June and July are com

them by prnner tillage of the soil.

not think that all the disad vantages to

There Was no Strike in This but Simply
Submission to the Tender Passion.
A wedding event occurred at Jackson,
Mimi, on Thanksgiving day in which
two former Mitchell young people were
interested. In this union the lives of
Mr. G. A. Crane, formerly OF Mitchell
and Miss Lottie Slifer of ST. Paul, and
formerly of this city, were merged into
one. Mr.. Crane was until recently in
the employ of the Western Union COM
pany and later was the candidate for
sheriff on the populist ticket in this
county, but was defeated. After cleo
tion he went to Jackson, Mimi, where
the wedding took place in the presence
of the relatives and intimate friends Of
the bride and groom. The bride is q
charming young lady and was quite
prominent in Mitchell society until q
few years ago, when she accepted q
position with the Western Union Co.
in st. Paul Mr.. and Mrs. Crane have
a large number of friends in the city
who will be rejoiced to hear of their
marriage and at the same time extend
their sincere congratulations.

The workmen's Dinner.

One Of the annual events in the order
of the A. o. U. w. lodge ia the Thanks
giving dinner which is spread for the
delectation of the members and their
families and the one held this year was
up to the standard set on former occa-
sions. The severe storm which was
raging seemed to be against anybody
getting to the Odd Fellows hall where
the dinner was held, but this difficulty
was overcome by bringing into requi-
sition sleighs and carriages, by which
the people we're transported to and
from the hall. The dinner was served
in the banquet hall adjoining the lodge
room and two tables extending the
length of the room groaned under the
weight of the good things to eat.
Fully 300 men, women and children
sat down to the elegant spread prepar.
ed by the Degree of Honor. Nearly
everything imaginable that was tempt
ing to the appetite was placed before
the people, including roast pig O.
large proportions. Dinner was finished
by three o'clock and the balance OF the
afternoon was spent in social converse
tion and games by the younger people
An impromptu musical and literary
program was given. While the ele
meuts outside were blowing and bluster
ing scene of happiness and enjoymen
was being enacted on the interior 0
the hall. AS darkness began to maxi
its appearance preparations were beiu,
made to go home. Other than tn
disagreeable weather the affair was
pleasant one in every respect.

EXTENT OF THE GREAT STORM,

1t Has Tied up the Railroads North for
Two DAYS.
From Fridays Daily.
Hicks weather predictions for the
latter part of November have come
true with such realism that there is no
getting around his assertions. The
first installment OF this beastly weather
put in appearance Wednesday evening
when sleet and rain came downin fair
ly good quantity. Before morning it
changed to snow and all day Thursday
the air was filed with flying particles
OF snow and so thick were they that it
was with much difficulty that one could
traverse the streets, at times the snow
being SO binding that one could not
see any great distance ahead.
The storm has seriously interferred
with the handling of trains on the Mil
waukee road. Trains from the south
and east yesterday were only one hour
late, but it was considered hazardous
to send the passenger north, as reports
received along the line indicated that
it would be an utter impossibility for
the train to reach Aberdeen, conse-
quently the passenger train was held
over until today, and Conductor John
Weber remained here over night with
quite number of passengers bound for
northern part OF the state. Mr.. Weber
made the run back to Sioux City this
morning, as no train came down from
the north. 1t is stated by the railroad
men that the road is absolutely blocked
between Mitchell and Aberdeen and
that the same conditions exist as far
east as Minneapolis.
The passenger train north today
was also abandoned. The train tt
Chamberlain was sent out last nigh
and returned this morning ahead O
time, bringing in merely the passenge,
coaches. The engine was covered
with thick coating Of ice and snow
and looked as if it had encountered
severe snow storm. Conductor Olsol
said that the storm seemed to be tn,
severest in the vicinity of Kimball ant
1t was with considerable difficulty tha
the engine was able to push its wa,
through the big drifts. Railroad mel
all agree in the statement that this ha
been the severest storm in the histor
of the Jim river division of the Mil
waukee road. The Intensity of tn
storm seemed greater in the vicinity 6
Aberdeen, where all trains are blocke
from either getting in or out OF tow
Conductor Bryan departed on tim
with the east passenger and anticips
ted little or no trouble in gettin
through on time.
The Omaha so far has experience
but little trouble on the line betwee
Mitchell and Sioux Falls but they hav
had some trouble with their connection
at Salem.
