MADE A DEPOSITORY.

Mttchelps Postoffice Has Been Made d
Money Order Depository for Funds.
Postmaster Greene received letter
Tuesday from Perry S. Heath, first
assistant postmaster general, convey
ing to him the Information that the
Mitchell postoffice had bsen designated
as money order depository. This
change was made owing to the fact that
the Huron Office, which had previously
held these same funds, had been re-
duceG to third-class Office, and was
not eligible as depository. The
Mitchell Office will receive these funds
from the postoffices ia this vicinity as
will be designated by the department.
So far as learned no increase of salary
was allowed the Mitchell postmaster
for the increase of work which will
naturally follow the handling of these
funds and giving them proper atten-
tion, not to mention the added respon.
sibility. Mr.. Greene thinks he will be
able to attend to the business for the
next month, as his commission expires
April 2, when, it is presumed, the new
republican postmaster will assume the
duties of the office.

Soldiers of the National Guard of

public recur to the National Guard of
our country. In the event of war the
government must look to the National
Guard for troops. 1t therefore behoov-

patriotic president and be prepared for
any emergency. That war will ensue
cannot be believed by men of calm minds.
Every honorable means will be employ

The time is ripe for members of the
Guard to bestow more attention to the
duties and discipline of the soldier.
South Dakota has through our governor
and commander in chief, offered her
quota of troops in case of need. and if
needed she must furnish troops second

and drill.
The colonel commanding earnestly
requests that each company be re.

Visit Mitchell Sunday.
The management of the anti-saloon
league of South Dakota have secured
the services of Mrs. Leonora M. Lake
to make several addresses in this state
during the present month. Mrs. Lake
is Catholic lady of commanding pres
ence, an eloquent speaker in behalf of
the temperance cause, and is possessed
of remarkable gifts and attainments.
She is vice president OF the Catholic
Total Abstinence Union of America
and is an energetic worker among her
denomination. Last summer she spoke
at the Madison Chautauqua and capti-
vated the vast audience which listened
interestedly to her. Bishop O'Gorman
gives Mrs. Lake very high endorse
ment in her work and refers strongly
to her ability as speaker.
Mrs. Lake comes to Mitchell under
the auspicies of the anti-saloon league
and will hold two meetings Sunday at
the Grand opera house. The first will
occur at 2:30 o'clock, and will be me-
mortal service in honor of Frances
Willard, at which Mrs. Lake will
make the address, and the meeting
will be conducted by the local W. G.. T.
U. Sunday evening at 7:3O all the
churches of the city will hold union
temperance service at the Grand opera
house at which Mrs Lake will be heard

tion. The seating capacity of the i'm.
mense house will likely be tested on
both occasions.

Omaha Exposition.s
The entire committee appointed by
Governor Lee for the east half of South
Dakota, which will assume charge of
South Dakota's productions at the
Omaha exposition, was unable to be
present at the meeting held here
Thursday evening and Friday. Messrs.
S. w. Narregang, of Aberdeen, Hans.
Murphy, OF EiKPoint, and Hugh Smith,
OF Howard, were the only ones present
at the session, although Hiram Rodee,
of Forestburg, came 10 just before noon
ing over the plans with the other
members. Gov. Lee was also expected
to be present but be was unable to leave
Pierre just at this time. The other
members failed to come on account of
the notice of the meeting being too
short.
The committee passed resolution
that South Dakota would have an ex-
hibit at the Omaha ex position and from
that standpoint several ideas were
evolved as to the best plan for raising
the money to defray the expenses. The
following plan was adopted as one to
become the most popular in all parts
this side Of the river. The commission
ers of each county are TO be requested
to appropriate sum of money equal to
20 cents for each voter in the county
according to the election of 1896, which
would mean an appropriation of about
$500 for Dawson county. The commit
tee perfected an organization for this
part of the state with the following
officers; Gov. A. E. Lee, president; s..
W. Narrsgang, of Aberdeen, vice presi-
dent; Hans Murphy, of Elk Point,
secretary; G. A. Jewett, of Sioux Falls,
treasurer.
The committee figures that it. will
require at least $4,000 to pay the ex-
penses of the exhibit. About 500
square feet of ground has been donated
by the Omaha exposition free OF
charge, but it will be insufficient for
the states exhibit and the additional
space will cost about ST. 200. 1t is the
| intention of the committee to visit as
many counties as possible and organize
local board therein which will look
after the money matters and the exhib
its. Resolutions we're also passed out
lining the duties of the secretary and
treasurer as to the receipt and expand
i:ure of money. The gentlemen are
very enthusiastic in the matter of the
exhibit and think South Dakota should
not overlook this opportunity, and the,
trust that the counties will take hold o
the enterprise in the true spirit.

THE LAST CABLE CUT.
Every Strand Binding CUBA to the Outside

PersIatent Work.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA. June C-The
last cable strands binding Cuba to the
outside world were cut Saturday after
noon by cable vessel conveyed here
by the United States dispatch gunboat
Dolphin. This black sea crab delved
all day along the coast, hour by hour,
and its powerful claws at length
brought up the barnacle-clustered
cable strands and snapped them and
last night Cuba was wholly isolated.
The first cable picked up was that
running to Kingston. 1t was found
early in the morning The coast loop
connecting Santiago and Guantanamo
was then cut Proceeding TO Guam
