as if made of all wool. The
shirts are finished with overlook
seams and have silk binding
around neck and pearl but
tons. The drawers also are
finished with overlook seams
and have suspender tapes,
pearl buttons and are re-
inforced seams. These gar
ments are counted good value

them is
soc. each
Another kind is three.quarters
wool in natural color. 1t is
full fashioned underwear,
that is, all the seams are
woven, instead of being
sewed. The shirts have
ribbed bottoms, self fronts
and pearl buttons. The draw
ers have extra reinforced gus
sets, pearl buttons and sus,
pender tapes, If you paid
$1,50 a garment for them
you'd get the full worth of
your money. They'd even
be good value at $1.75, yet
we'll sell them to you at
0Sc. each

At the first meeting of the city coun-

pointment of city officials and as this
was to be done at the meeting Monday
evening more than ordinary interest
was attached to this session. With the
exception of W. H. Johnston all mem
bers of the council were present, as we're
also the members-elect who were ready
to take up the burden when laid down
by their predecessors. Mayor Fuller
ton presided over the session and Audi
tor Smith commenced the proceedings
by reading the minutes of the last
meeting which stood approved. The
reports,of officers were first taken up
and read to the council, Weighmaster
Nielsen's report being the first which
was adopted. Chief of Police Refer
son made his annual report which is
published as follows, and which was
also adopted:

ing all of these improvements into con-
sheraton we find difference in our
coal bill between the year 1896 and 1897
of $432.30 which represents just that
much saved.

formerly stood on the roof of the building
lowered and sunk under the ground
and made connections with the exhaust
from both pumps and the heating coils
In the building to save all the conden-
sation. Result no boiler repairs in 19
months which represents saving over
the year 1896 of nearly 5000.
l would further recommend to the
council for their consideration an ex-
haust head for the large exhaust pipe
to the large pipe; cave troughs around
the building and one new fire whistle,
as the old one is in irreparable condi-
tion.
The fire alarm system is in good re-
pair; also our electric telephone from
the works to the city auditors office.
In regard to the reservoir, I would
recommend it to be cleaned out also the
city wells to be cleaned, as our supply
of water has diminished perceptibly in
the last two years.
Respectfully submitted,

ductor Olson would point out the man
wanted. When the train came in
three young men got off and stood
around, evidently awaiting the depar-
ture of the east passenger. With some
side information as a guide Chief
Reierson arrested one of the men and
marched him up town, but the man
protested he was not the one wanted.
AT the United States land Office he was
able to establish his identity and he
was allowed to depart. He was bound
for Mason City, Iowa, and had a ticket
to his destination, but missed the east
Milwaukee passenger. He received
his money back for the ticket and left
for his destination on the Omaha road
at noon. Mr.. Reierson very much re-
gretted the error made in OBTAINING
the wrong man. He sent a telegram to
Alexandria in the hope that he might
intercept the right fellow at that place.

The hydrants we're flushed regularly
once each month and the U. S. weather

different parties.
During the year there were no cases

Engineer Roth's Report.

City Engineer Roth handed in his
report of the water works, which was
referred to the proper committee to
act on the recommendations suggested
by the engineer. His report reads as
follows:
To the Honorable Mayor and CITY
Council, City of Mitchell, S. D.
GENTLEMEN:-As engineer of the
city water works 1 respectfully submit
the following report on the condition
of the plant and other matters relating
thereto.
You are all aware what condition the
plant was in when I was appointed
engineer. There being but one boiler
in the plant we could never get good
results by having only one, as it could
never get time to cool off when clean
| ing, thereby causing it to leak and hav-
| ing to stand great strain from contract
ion and expansion: The council upon
my recommendation placed another
boiler at the works which put us in q
much safer and more economical condi-
ton.
Having to support two smoke stacks
I considered it more economical to have
one brick smoke stack with strong
draught and run the fiues of both boilers
into it. The council acted as recon.
mended and built brick smoke stack
with the result of saving two new stee.
stacks every two years at q cost of STE
each. While our new stack only cost
S170 and will last as long as the water
works will last.
| I also recommended shaking CRATES
for the boilers which the council kindly
sanctioned and had them put in. TAX

Chief Reierson is a Defendant to Suit for
Damages for Arresting Wrong Man.
G. E. Forbes, of Blooming Prairie,
Mimi, has commenced suit against
Chief of Police Reierson for the sum of
$1,000, The papers were drawn up by
L. E. Whitcher, the attorney of Mr..

performed by Mr., Reierson Saturday
in OBTAINING Mr.. Forbes, who was about
to step on the train and leave town.
He had been visiting near Artesian
and had came here to go home. Mr..
Forbes said he made every posi- BILE
effort to convince the chief that he was
not the man wanted, as did also his
friend with him, and it became neces.
sary to go up town and identify himself
J when he was released. Mr.. Forbes
went home this morning but prom.
ises to come back and push his case al

OUR VOLUNTEER COMPANY.


House Thursday Night.
A grand meeting of the men who have
volunteered to become members of q
militia cnupau, from Mitchell was held
at the court house Thursday evening.
Enc room was comfortably filled by the
volunteers and spectators, the latter
being present to witness the delibera-
tions. The object of the meeting was
to take the initiative steps toward Or
ganizing militia company. Geo. A.
Johnston called the assembly to order
and the audience selected Col. J. M.
Adams and Fl. P. Beckwith for chair
man and secretary, respectively. Be-
fore proceeding further with the busi-
ness several old soldiers and others
were called upon for remarks in refer
ence to the past and present war situa-
tions. Col. Adams, J. B. Wolgemuth,
@. I. Miltimore and DR.. S. j. Moore,
men who had served their country dur
ing the rebellion, reeounted many
incidents of that conflict, and urged
upon the younger generation to take up
arms in defense of their couatry's flag.
Their sentiments were received and
cheered with enthusiasm. Mayor Full
lerton. L. E. Whitcher and DR.. G.
Edgar Dix were also called upon to ex-
press themselves. The gentlemen
spoke of the situation in a patriotic
manner, and were glad to see South
Dakota come to the front with more
than its quota of men for the support
of the government. Geo. A. Johnston
moved to organize the militia company
from the volunteers present, which
was carried, and the secretary was
directed to read the names of those
who had signed the petition. AS
each name was called the voluntee
took a seat in the northwest part of
the room until 45 of them were con-
gregated, the balance of the 80 signers
being unable to be present at the meet
ing. The company then selected three
drill masters from their ranks-L. E..
Whitcher, D. G. Burnside and Chas.
Weller, and these gentlemen were
authorized to notify the adjutant gen
eral of the state and Governor Lee of
what action had been taken at the
meeting. The enlistment roll is to be
left at Col. Adams Office and anybody
who desires can yet place their names
on the list. When the meeting ad-
journed portion of the volunteers
marched down town and at the head of
the column was the American flag
carried by V. G. Montague while j. E.
Clark tapped the drum.
Mr.. Whitcher said that telegram
from Coy. Lee stated the first regiment
was full and that volunteers would
compose the second regiment on a
second call for troops.
Mitchell is not behind any town in
her spirit of enthusiasm and patriot.
ism. nor in raising a militia company
to send to the front. The boys are
evidently quite anxious to distinguish
themselves in the service of their
country, and they all hope that the cal
will come soon.
