Through the efforts of G. A.. Ottomev-
er, Rev. Sam G. Smith of st. Paul will
deliver lecture in this city early in the
spring. MI. Smith will not come here
in the interests of any of our local asso-
Citations and his address will be entirely
undenominational. He is one of the
most brilliant speakers that the state
claims among her own, and his lecture
will no doubt prove a rare treat.
Erich Won Horn who left Sioux Falls
three months ago, giving out that he had
gone to join the Cuban army, has re-
turned. Ten days before his departure
he was married to Mrs. J. n. Mason, who
had secured $4,000 from the Louisiana
lottery. She was twenty years his senior
and soon it came to her ears that Horn
had married her to get her fortune. She
accordingly left him at once. Horn did
MT go to Cuba but to Omaha where he
has been spending his time writing an
opera.
Gretchen's Polterabend which was pro-
duced at Turner Hall Sunday evening is

best plays ever presented by the local
Dramatic Section. Full of rich humor.

If they would like to see 1t again. The

The Pioneer Press Of Friday contained
this interesting item: Among the In
dians who will dance and help in other
ways to entertain the people who attend
the carnival, there are a couple who,
some thirty odd years ago, were looking
for whites with other and not quite such
pacific intentions. Two Of the men who
danced for crowd of people yesterday
afternoon on the platform in the midst
of the carnival grounds were captured
among lot of Minnesota Sioux in 1862
as parties to the massacre that resulted
in wiping the Sioux off the soil of Mimi
esota. They are old men now, and they
will not talk to the troublous times when
they were led of dig up the hatchet and
take to the warpath. They are big,
rugged fellows, and are pretty we'll

but they have the natural avoidance of

aboriginals that there are left in this
country, and they will not talk in the

two men are by no means the leaders of
their people under the present condi-

nonnceable Indian names. One is called
Can Der Ca va Ma. Gin and the other
He Haka- Ho- Wasta. In the dance yes-
terday afternoon they spent most of their
time in beating time for the Others.
When,one danced 50 did the other. The
two were among the Indians captured
and sentenced to death in 1862. They
were reprieyed and later sent to prison
at Rock Island, and then removed n
