Spirit of Dakota, Howard: The
course of lectures by DR.. Marsh Petit
of Mitchell in the opera house this
week, have been we'll attended. They
combine entertainment with instruc-
tion. The doctor is an expert physiog-
nomist, as he proved by reading char
acters of we'll known citizens. His lee.
ture on choosing vocation is thought.
full and impressive. He has made a
good impression in Howard.
Alexandria Herald: The song re.
cital given by Miss Gertrude Becker,
assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. b. G. Nichols
and Herold Beckwith, was all claimed
| for it and more. The audience was
richly repaid for their attendance
Miss Becker is singer of rare sweet
ness and grace and will one day be able
to captivate large audiences in much
wider field. Mrs. Nichols is very fine
piano player and it is with regret We
announce that she will be obliged tc
give up her music, for while at least
on account of what is known as player'l
cramps. Complete rest may restore
her but there is a question. Her play
ing here is her last appearance in pub
lie until time and rest have chance tt
restore her. Mr.. Beckwith is swee
singer and Mr.. Nichols plays the
mandolin with rare skill. 1t will be {
long time before Alexandria has an
other chance to listen to as good mus
ical entertainment.

Who worked for the Crary's last sum
mer, and he (Tobin) proceeded to re-
lieve himself of some of his hard feel
ings against the papers of this city fol
roasting him on the matter above re
ferred to. The talk drifted from this
to other matters and finally Tobin asked
Van if he had met anyone on the road

scribed; said one was heavy man and
the other was light completed, smooth
faced and Of medium build: said tha

a livery; that he had lost eight of then

course became interested and finally
suggested that they go over to the liv
cry barn and take look at the rig
Imagine Vans surprise when the fel
low pointed out Wickhem's horse ant
buggy as the one in question. Aftel
