w. G. Porter returned on "Wednesday
from a business visit at Pierre. He re
! ports a dull prospect for the breaking o
the senatorial deadlock, with a possibili,
ty of its continuance through the entire
session. The contest is daily increasing
in bitterness, and all former hope OF
eilecting a compromise and electing any
n of the present candidates is despair
ed of. Mr.. Porter says the election of
a republican is within the range of the
possibilities, but he does not express a
high degree Of confidence in this direc.
ton. lie is inclined to the belief that,
in the event Of an election. the man
chosen will be a pop whose name has
not yet been presented for the consid-
Grafton f'he electoral body.
The Rag Bee is the latest social fad in
Custer, and the one given by Mrs. II. L
Bond at her home on Court avenue on
Wednesday afternoon was up to date In
all its enjoyable and pleasing appoint
ments. Thirteen ladies participated in
the social enjoyments which marked
the occasion, all Of whom were delighted
with the unique and fellcitous event.
The program ended with an elegant
spread, embracing in its menu all of the
choicest d~elicacies obtainable, when
served as a happy finale to the after
moons ENJOYMENT, which was fully APP
preciated by all present, and discussed
with that degree Of gusto incident to
