Minnesota and Nebraska are indulg.

Efforts are being made to produce
ION the Potomac" in Beresford, by
the local company in this city. II a
guarantee of expenses can be secured it
is more than profitable that the play
will be produced there.

his first arrest in Bersford on Saturday

One of the very best catarrh medi-
| cines on the market is that of the Syl-
van-Ozone, manufactured by DR.. Kellar
of Sioux Falls. The writer has been
suffering with catarrh for sometime
and last week tried the Sioux Falls
remedy. 1t is the finest remedy we be-
lieve on the market, and to anyone suf-
fering from catarrah we can heartily
recommend it.
A couple of young men from Hawar.
den were in the city for the purpose of
establishing saloon. The cold weather
evidently froze their aspirations as they
| announced they had decided not to be-
come citizens of this place. A firm

as also does man from Yankton. The
three saloons would bring in q revenue
OF $3.50 month to the city.
In the east all the small towns sur.
rounding cities are connected with troll
ley lines. 1t is said that people from q
distance of fifty miles can go into the
city and take in the theater and then
return in the evening. 1t will not be
long until this city is connected with
Sioux City by trolly line. Then Elk
Pointers can go into the city, take in
the show and within forty minutes from
the time they start will be home. This
will make life worth the price.
1t is amusing to one who has passed
through the last campaign and listened
to the reform" cry of the popu.ist
party, and then to witness the charac-
ter legislation, the extravaganza of the
legislature, and to top the whole thing
off to see right in our own county-re.
form papers crying and frothing at the
mouth because the county commission
ers have stepped into line and estab-
ed a reform which will be of untold
value to this county. 1t shows conclus-
lively that the populist papers of this
county do not believe in reform, that
they are not sincere in anything they
do or say.
The associated dispatches of Sunday
morning contained the startling infor-
nation that Prof. John G. Dow. Ut one
time professor OF English literature in

was Scotchman, and q very able
scholar. The university never had =
better man in the literary department.,

by large number of friends. Az was
known to many in these parts the pro-
fessor was addicted to the laudnum
habit. and also INDUCED too frequently
in the flowing bowl. While in one OF
his periodicals he committed the rash
act.
