Sixteen years ago Saturday Mr.. and

vows which made them man and wife.
The date was known 10 number of
members OF the Methodist church and
they made arrangements to celebrate
the event in truly hospitable style, all
of which was unknown to the gentle
man and his wife. The guests met at
an appointed place and proceeded en-
masse to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Morrow. Finding the man Of the house
absent, a committee was sent down
town to hunt up the husband and on
being found was informed that his wife
had been taken suddenly Ill. Mr. Nor
row was far in advance of the commit
tee on the way home and on arriving
there met gay assembly OF people
and he was informed of the nature OF
the occasion. Mr.. and Mrs. Morrow
are quite popular among the members
of the Methodist church and the good
feeling of friend ship which exists be.

pleasant affair. The worthy couple
were presented with several tokens,
which were only outward signs OF q
warm, friendly feeling extended tc

The Committees Feel Assured That the
Affair will he a Grand Success.
The poultry show to !,e given IN
Champeny's opera housc Feb. % and
24, under the Auspices of the Dawson
County Poultry Association, is practic-
ally an assured success. The manage
ment has received letters from all
parts of the state, which show that
poultry fAuciers have taken an unusual
interest, in making the affair pro-
nnnsc j success. There will be no
lack of exhibits and undoubtedly some
very fine representatives OF this feath-
opens. The poultry industry has made
remarkable strides in pushing forward
ir this state in the past few years and
it is good idea to bring the birds to-
gether and show at q glance what the
industry has grown to. The REPUBL1-
CAN finished printing the catalogue
today for the local association and it is
being sent to all the poultry fanciers in
the state.
No special premiums will be given at
this exhibition although the associa-
tion has had many tenders of articles
by liberal poultry fanciers. 1t has been
thought best TO emphasize the true OBJ,
ject of these exhibitions, VIA COM
petition, the object of which is to
stimulate the breeding of pure-bred
poultry as near as possible to the
standard of perfection. Therefore the
score card is to be the reward to all ex-
hibitors and ribbons issued to the
highest scoring competitors. COM
petent Judge has been secured in the
person of Mr.. W. S. Russle, of Ottum-
wa, Iowa, whose score cards will always
be found to be right.
They feel satisfied that this exclusion
of special premiums will keep away no
one but hucksters. AS an entry fee OF
25 cents will be charged it has been de.
cided that the percentage system Of
awarding cash prizes be adopted as
follows: In each class exhibited so per
cent. will be given as first premium; &c
per cent. as second premium and 20 per
cent. as third premium Of all entrance
fees, provided no exhibitor in Dawson
county shall compete for these cash
premiums.

four years ago she suffered stroke OF
paralysis and up to the time she went

walk. She has been so benefited by
the treatment that now she can walk
across the room with the aid of placing
her hand on the shoulder of another

there is no hope OF her recovering the

DIR. PEIIT's FIRST LECTURE

The Specialist Entertained and Instructed
Large Audience Wednesday.
Curiosity led a great many people to
the Champeny opera house Wednesday
evening to hear and see the gentleman
who had advertised himself as a man
who had given much study to psychol-
ogy. The gentleman's name is DR..
Marsh Petit and he came here from
the Black Hills, where he has been
practicing his profession, that of treat
ing chronic diseases. The doctor
takes this method OF introducing him
self to the public, believing that his
business will become more widely
known through this avenue of adver-
tising Than any other he could pursue.
Previous to his lecture he stated why
he was here and what he proposed to
do, and gave q short entertainment
He confined his remarks to the subject
of physiognomy, the study of human
nature, which he considered to be one of
the most resourceful and pleasant of all
studies. He explained the character
istics of men by the features OF the
face, the hands and the way they wear
their head covering. At the close of
the lecture he invited two gentlemen
to come forward and give him an op-
portunity to read their character, The
audience selected Oliver Cronk and F.
D. Powers, both Of whom are we'll ad-
vanced in years and neither of whom
DR.. Pettitt, according to their own
statement, had ever met before. The
DR.. read their character in way that
seemed as if his method and know
ledge of human nature was reliable.
Several persons who are acquainted
with the gentlemen stated that he read
them pretty nearly Alright, coming
closer to the mark in Mr.. Cronk's case
than in Mr.. Powers.

MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE.

The New Mitchell Institution Receives An
Endorsement from Business Man.
A REPUBLICAN representative step
ped into Mayor Fullerton's office and in
the course OF conversation he was
asked to express his opinion upon the
organization OF mutual fire insurance
companies, one of which is now being
formed in this city. Mr.. Fullerton
talked in part as follows: One of the
circulars distributed among the busi-
ness men this morning by j. B. Wolge-
muth concerning the organization of
the Commercial Mutual Fire Associa-
tion was handed me with request that

This regret was unable to do, not
because am not in sympathy with the
Mitchell enterprise, but because all of
my insurance has been placed in much
the same way. l recently returned
from meeting of the Fullerton Lum-
Der Co. at Kansas City, of which my
brother, S. H. Fullerton, is president,
and who is also treasurer of the South

citation. At this meeting the matter OF
fire insurance was taken up, and as
there were some five hundred delegates
assembled, representing the greater
majority of all the western and south
western lumbermen, it was decided
that the mutual organization, which
had already been established. be de
| clared permanent, and that all lum bel
property owned by the members of this
organization be insured in this organ
ization. The reasons for this were
that, the fire losses for the last yeal
have been less than II cents on the
800 of property insured, and the fur
| ther fact that on an insurance basis o

Elk Point Leader: Asa A. Grant,
who is president of the South Dakota
Firemen association, says that the as.
sociation is making strenuous efforts to
hold a tournament this year, and that
there is certainly one going to be held.
Just where he is at present unable to
say. The association asks one thous-
and dollars to be given by the town
that wishes to capture the tournament,
and that they can safely promise the
town at least ten thousand dollars in
return, by the benefits derived there
from.

STOLE SOME FUR ROBES.
A Farmers Sleigh Standing on Mai,

"A Farmers Sleigh Standing on Main
Street Relieved of Robes.
Friday evening Herman Schultz, liv-
ing east OF town, drove in and left his
team and sleigh in front OF Rathbun's
store, leaving two good fur robes in the
vehicle. When darkness had partly
come on fellow was seen to approach
the sleigh and take from it the two
fur robes, One of the robes was sold
to farmer in the country for so cents
and the other was found concealed un-
der the driveway to one of the eleva-
tors, after the fellow had offered it for
sale at several places around town.
Policeman Gordinier was sent for, as il
was not time for him to go on duty for
the night, and he came down and
placed him under arrest, putting him
in Jail for the night. When asked for
his name the fellow said it was John
Brown but as he gave severa! other
names while trying to sell the robes
this one is hardly correct.
Brown was brought before Justice
Mckinley Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock, Attorney Winsor appearing 70,

Tilted the robes and prisoner and Jus
tice Mckinley gave him 20 days in the

been proven that he had stolen the
robes. The justice thought ditferen

To Have a Telephone.

The Mitchell hotel, Dix house, the
Sanborn house, the United States Ex-
press office and the post office have
made application to Superintendent
Cosgrave to connect their places of
business by telephone with the Mil
waukee depot. There are many times
when the hotels and others are desirous
of finding out as to the arrival and de-
parture OF trains, when late, and the
telephone will be of great convenience
to the public. If the superintendent
gives his permission the firms men
toned above will put in the telephone,
and this may be the means of bringing
the service into more general use all
over town.
