Rev. aud Mrs. G. e. Hager Informally
Entertain on Their Twentieth.
Friday evening Rev. and Mrs. G.. E..
Hager invited the resident Methodist
ministers to their home on west Fourth
street, the occasion being the twentieth
anniversary OF the wedding, but this
matter was not mentioned until all the
guests had arrived. They we're con-
graduated upon the event and the
wish was heartily expressed by oil
that the union would extend into the
years to come. The conversation nat
urally turned upon marriages and each
OF the ministers gave their experien-
ces when they plunged into the matri-
monisl sea. The incidents related in
some of the experiences were amusing
and atfosded the listeners considerable
merriment, particularly the recount.
of the vicissitudes which overlook Rev.
Kratz. During the evening refresh
ments we're served and tho hours
passed by very pleasantly. Those pre-
seut were: Presiding Elder and Mrs
A. r. Boggs, Rev. and Mrs. A. E. Car
hart, Rev. and Mrs. r. N. Kratz, Rev
and Mrs. A. G. Stevens, Rev. and Mrs
j. F. Bradley and Mrs. G. j. Corwin.

remarks. Mr.. Hager is a strong and
earnest speaker and his address was
highly interesting. He spoke Of the

end. Messrs. Carhart and Hager de-

ANOTHER POULTRY SHOW.

Birds of the Same Feather Will Flock
Together This Year in February.
Stimulated by the successful effort
last year another state exhibit Of
poultry will be given under the auspices
of the Dawson County Poultry associa-
tion, in this city on February l, 2and 3.
The first was an experiment and it was
successful beyond the anticipation of
the officers. 1t has had the effect in
the past year to intuse greater activity
among fanciers of poultry to get better
chickens and more of them and the
corresponding effect has been to supply
the market with better eggs and
chickens. Arrangements are we'll
under way for the coming exhibit but
it will require some assistance from the
business men in financial way to
carry on the project to successful
completion, and in few day Messrs
j. o. Walrath, F. 81. Winsor and W.
E. Lott, who represent the ways and
means committee, will visit the bust
ness district with this purpose in view
The association has received much en-
couragement from outside exhibitor
that they will attend the show. Presi
dent Burnside and Secretary Nielsen
with the committees already appointed
will use their best endeavors to maxi
the affair o most notable success.

YOUNG PEOPLE ENTERTAIN.
Epworth League and Sunday school Re-
ception u Magnificent Success.


Epworth League and Sunday school Re-
ception Magnificent Success.
One of the most pleasant affairs of
New Years day was the reception given
by the young ladies of the Epworth
League and Sunday School in the par
lors of the Methodist church. The
room was darkened and the walls and
floor were draped to give things the
appearance of drawing room. The
decorations were very handsome in
deed. The young ladies were kept
busy attenning to the stream of visitors
in serving them with sherbet and cake
Over 200 guests paid their respects
during the afternoon and all were
greatly pleased and impressed with the
affair. Rathbun's orchestra discoursed
sweet music for several hours, and
other musical features were not lack
ing in the way of songs and instrument
tai selections. Tie young ladies' are
entitled to great credit for arranging
the successful affair.

Railroad Commissioners win Bring the
Case in the Name of the State.
With all the knowledge presumed to
be possessed by the populist attorneys
who are assisting in directing the cases
of the railroad, commissioners against
the railroads it seems that they have
started in wrong on the case against
the Milwaukee railroad in compelling
the road to establish a passenger train
service between Mitchell and Chamber
lain. The matter was instituted several
months ago. when the company submit
ted u report of it's earnings on that line
to the commission, and on those figures
the road was notified to start the train
on Nov. Is. II did not do 80. Late
Friday afternoon Messrs. LaFollettee
and Tompkins, of the commission. with
their attorney t. H. Null, of Huron,
and A. B. Kittredge, of Sioux Falls,
representing the Milwaukee road, ap-
peared before Judge Smith to argue a
motion for an order to show cause why
mandate of the court should not
issue compelling the road to establish
the passenger service referred to.
Certain legal points of an interesting
nature were argued during the after
noon and evening. Mr.. Kittredge
objected to the court issuing the order
for the reason that the commissioners
had no right to make such application
in their own name but should be
brought in the name of the state, con.
tending that they had no personal inter.
est in the matter. The court held.
under the legislative act, that Mr.
Kittredge was correct in his intrepre
tation, but gave the commissioners the
privilege OF amending their petition
and then bring the action in the name
of the state, which is to be served or
the defendant. The company will ther
have fifteen days in which to make
answer. The matter can then bt
brought to trial on ten days notice BY
either party. None of the rights of The
commissioners have been injured il
the result of Fridays hearing, but i
will tend to delay the situation, which
could have been avoided had the at
torneys commenced right in the frs
proceedings.

M. B. Cleminger's bill of S14l for the
arc lights on the streets brought out
quite discussion concerning the Use
of the extra six lights at the same price
which has been in vogue for the past
year, S123.50. This contract having
expired Mr.. Cleminger desired to re-
turn to the higher price, but the coun-
Gil very properly objected to me raise.
Mr.. Cleminger intimated that he would
cut out the six lights, but an arrange
ment was effected whereby the lights
will be run until the matter can be
patched up one way or another, and in
case the arcs are cut out that part of
city will very likely be lighted with
improved street lamps. OF course the
nine arcs under the franchise will still
hold good, although the Gazette ad-
vised the council to revoke the fran
chise. Brer. Johnston should under
stand that franchises are not made to
be revoked.
Fred Widmann appeared before the
council to make request of that body.
Mr.. Widmann said he had paid 81, 300
license to conduct his saloon business
and if the council would rebate the
other half he would quit business. His
reason was, he said, that he was being
prosecuted by several parties who
claimed he had sold them liquor when
he had been notified not to, and on this
point he asked the council to take some
action to prevent parties from securing
! liquor at any of his places, who are
known to become intoxicated. The fol-
lowing resolution was read and passed by
the council, which, it is presumed, will
have the effect of putting stop to par
ties purchasing liquor who are in the
habit of becoming intoxicated, it being
their desire to see the liquor law is en-.
forced strictly to the letter. Some
such action should have beon taken
long ago. The resolution reads as fol
lows:
That the chief of police be requested
to at once notify all persons engaged i,
the business OF selling spirituous, NAL
and vinous liquors in the city of Mitch
2 ell, S. D., of all persons in the city il
the habit of getting intoxicated: and
further, that the chief of police publish
a notice in the official paper of the cit,
requesting that all persons, whethe
, husband, wife, parent, child, guardian
or employer, desiring that no liquor
!. be sold to any person in whom they ar
: interested Notify the chief OF police il
. order that the chief OF police may Civ
notice of such fact to all persons en-
gagged in the business OF selling intoxi
}. eating liquors not to sell such spiritu
: GUS, vinous, malt or fermented liquors
8 Under this resolution it will be q,
easy matter for any person to prohibit

T.-ces. Fires.

Last night the heavens i'll several
directions were literally blaze with
the reflections cf forest fires, while
t. Us at this safe distance it was
grand ard inspiring sight but to
many it meant the less CT home and
neallv al their worldly possessions,
and to others it was night Of terIl-
bic anxiety and terrific battle with
the wind swept flames.
We learn TINT a fierce forest tre
ragged all day .e ,terday in the satd
hills and the dwellings, and barnes OF
several farmers were destroyed.
Among whom the names Of Messrs. j.
Sol Miller, Mr.. 4 Steel and Mr..
keisler. at the Fowle's place. were
mentioned.
Another fire ragged through the
woods in the vicinity Of Congaree
creek doing considerable damage to
timber, buildings and other property
but to what extent we have not heard.
Residents on this side Of Saluda
river report that a terrific fire is
raging in the neighborhood of 1rmo
and a considerable territory is being
swept by it.
1t is thought that all these fires
originated from new grounds being
cleared and during the prevalence OF
the high winds Of yesterday, the
fire escaped beyond the control Of
the watchers and spread with such
rapiaity that it could not be checked.
The Co!u mbia State Of this morn-
ing says that yesterday afternoon
Box 13 was rung in at 7:45 o'clock in
the afternoon. Some woods were
burning in the vicinity Of Lexington,
c.. H., and some one turned in the
alarm.
