The Athletic Contest.

Probably the most interesting event
OF the year will be the meetings OF the
different college organizations of the
state, which meet in this city during
the present month. On May 15, 16 and
II the Intercollegiate Y. M. and Y. W.
G. AS. will hold their third annual con-
vention at the college, The feature
around which doubtless the greatest
interest will center is the eleventh an
nual contest of the intercollegiate
Oratorical association. The contest
wall be held in the Grand opera house
on the evening of May 18th, and will
attract the literary people from all
parts of the state. This promises to
be one of the most enthusiastic contests
in the history of the association. Five
of the most brilliant young people Of
the state will compete for honors. On
the 18th and 10th the intercollegiate
Athletic Association will hold its fourth
annual championship meet on the Uni
versity athletic grounds. Nearly q
hundred athletes from the different
colleges will compete and the spirit Of

What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We cannot
be held responsible for the dispositions
and tendencies which we derive from
our ancestors, nor are we responsible
for the germs of disease which may
manifest themselves in our blood as q
heritage from former generations. But
we are responsible if we allow these
germs to develop into serious diseases
which will impair our usefulness and
destroy our happiness. We are re-
sponsible if we transmit to our descend
ants the desease germs which it is pos
sible for us to eradicate by the use of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the one true blood
purifier. This medicine has power to
make rich, red blood and establish per-
feet health in place of disease.

Making Excellent Progress.

The friends of Miss Celeste Coghlan,
who was former resident of Mitchell,
will be pleased to learn of the great
progress she is making in voice cul-
ture at Minneapolis and the following
from the Journal of recent date shows
the impression Miss Coghlan made on
the musical critic:
A musicale, the remarkable distinct
ion of which was the absence of imma
ture work, was that given Thursday
evening at Hotel Windsor. The pupils
of Miss Leila Breed presented the pro-
gramme, which was extremely we'll
chosen. The voices in general show
freedom in production of tone and an
attention to detail which can only re-
suit when the teacher knows what she
is doing, has the courage of her con-
victions, and infinite patience.
Miss Celeste Coghlan has the warmth
of temperament, the true, musical feel
ing, the vague something, lacking q
better word, we will call magnetism,
which easily makes her the favorite
with her audience. Her voice has not
only grown warmer, but increased IN
range, and the upper tones have be-
come large and firm, while still pos
sessing vibrancy. She is destined to q
rank among our singers which no one
has as yet approached.

GOOD SPECIALITY COMPANY

The Carlton q Lord People Show Them
selves to be possessed of Merit.
When the Carlton g. Lord Metro
politan Comedians came to Mitchell an
impression had been formed that the
company did not amount to much, but
whatever erroneous idea had been
formed against them was dispelled at
the close of the performance at the
Grand opera house Monday evening,
when fair audience listened to an ex-
cellent little comedy entitled "College
Chums," which gave the comedians an
opportunity to present some very clev-
or work. Every member of the COM
pany is an artist-no sticks among
them. That the performance was
thoroughly enjoyable goes without
question for the shouts of laughter con-
veyed that impression. The comical-
tiles of Ed. S. Lee and Arthur Smith
were funny, overwhelmingly so. Both
are excellent comedians and do their
parts smoothly, while little Leslie Nc.
Farlane, the boy soprano, is very
necessary adjunct to the company,
Emma Morris, Annie Pomeroy and the
sprightly Mildred Lee are three
charming ladies and their presence OF
the stage completed the setting of {
beautiful picture. Miss Lee as dane
er is better than anything of the kline
ever seen in the city before and she
makes a handsome appearance. Sh'
will appear in dancing specialties dur
ing the week, while Mr.. Lee will -b'
seen in some of his clever work. Th'
company is entitled to high praise TO
their great performance and shoul'
have large audiences.

Frnk Truden Goes to the Penitentiary for
the Same Crime,


EARLY last summer Frank Trudell
was released from the state penitenti-
ary on pardon, the petition for which
was signed by many people in this
town. He was sentenced for term of
years for committing an assault on
young girl in this city. There was al
ways some doubt about his guilt and
after he had served about two years of
his term was released on the pardon of
the governor. Trudell remained in
Mitchell during the summer and in
October went to Woonsocket one even
ing with crowd from this city to az
tend political rally. During the
early part of the evening it was stated
that he enticed q young girl into an un-
settled portion of the town and at
tempted or committed the dastardly
deed. When arrested Trudell declar-
ed his innocence and that he could
prove it, but feeling ran pretty high
against him in Woonsocket and there
was some talk of lynching him but the
sheriff took the precaution to prevent
an affair of this kind and brought the
prisoner to this city, where he was
kept all winter and taken to Woon-
socket last week. His trial began
there last Friday and came to an end
Tuesday, when he was convicted of the
crime. Judge Smith passed sentence
on Trudell at that time, giving him ~
years in the penitentiary. That he
was found guilty in this count lends
color to the assumption that Trudell
was guilty under the first charge.

MARRIED AT SIOUX FALLS.
A. d. Brookings and Mrs. Lou Davey
We're Married at the Queen City.

Were Married at the Queen City.
The Minneapolis Tribune of the 10th
inst. contained the following dispatch
from Sioux Falls, which will undoabt-
edIy be read with considerable interest
by residents OF this city who are more
or less acquainted with the parties in
question:
Arthur Brookings and Mrs. Lou Da-
vey both of Mitchell, S. D., were quiet
ly married in this city on Saturday
last, and there is consequently more or
Jess excitement in the Baptist church
circles in Mitchell, where they are
prominent workers. The groom is q
young man of 25 years, while the bride,
who is the widow of one Of the victims
of the Pomeroy, Iowa, cyclone, several
years ago, is said to be Is years his sem
ior. Rumor has it that young Brook
ings was engaged to Miss Lillian Teall,
daughter of former pastor of the
Baptist church in Mitchell, who is now
located at Mcpherson, Kansas, and the
fact that he left for that place right
after the wedding, while his bride re-
turned to Mitchell, lends color to the
