The Edltors at sioux Fails.
Perhaps Sioux Falls had in mind the
royal entertainment given the South
Dakota Press association by Minneapolis
aad St Paul last summer and was
determined to show the boys that the
old saying: "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own countrv," is not
always true. At anvrate. we very much
doubt It there is cityin all the coun-
try between Tho two oceans of ten or
twelve thousand Inhabitants that could
or would bestow upon gathering of
newspa ,erman such unst;nted hOspita-
lity as the "Queen City" did upon the
South Dakota Press association last
weeks From tha moment the boys
reached the town. individually and
collectively. they were feasted. wined
and dined as II they were a hand 0t
poteEates. I. was what one might cal
square meel lasting forty-eight hours.
Sioux Falls 10 not only the metropolis
OF the state. but clio has in a marked de-
gree all the ruatling attributes Of
typical South Dakota citvahd which
visit from the hustlln9 newspaper nnb-
fishers of the commonwealth they have
had so prominent part in making hut
intcnsifies. 1t does the boys good 70
know that the work they ere engaged
in is appreciated. and it is not necessary
to say that their admiration for the
pretty little city, the pride Of the state,
is now greater than ever. Tho editors
ielt what was in store for them and
every member OF the association who
conld get away from his Office was there.
In point of attendance it was the most
successful meeting ever held by the
ass6 citation, aid the number of new
members taken in The organization was
much larger than usual. The editors
and their friends and anxiliaries and
the reception committees numbered
something like hundred.
The spacious and finely appointed A.
0 U. w. hall was given up to the use
nj the association and here three SESSIONS
were held daily and a large amount OF
business transacted, despite the many
attractions nearby in the shape Of what
is known as continual "Dntch lunch.'
Attendants and caterers were on hand
continually, day and night, with every
thing man likes to eat. drink and smoke,
and there was absolutely no end of it.
Even great travs of candies and frepzers
OF Ices and sherhets added to the sui
stantials. There WAS never time when
it was necessary TO go out and round up
quorum. The boys hugged that "con-
tinuous lnnch" as kitten does a hot
hrick. Great thing-that Continuous
lunch"-expidites business to a wonder
fnl degree.
Thursday evening the Minnehaha
Manalkor came up to the hall aud sang
some of the musical selections which
has made the organization famous, after
which the bBy1 ware escortad over to
the Elk hall to take in an illustrated
"smoke talk" on Japan by Henry Bans
Lewis OF New York Here, as usual.
there were the fifteen minute intermis-
slons for lunch. Friday evening tho
newspapprmen occupied the three front
row of chairs in the beautiful New
Theatre and saw q splendid production
of "Miss Philadelphia After the per-
formance the entire company. chorus
girls, dancers. orchestra aud all, went
over to the hall and were guests of the
editors and that wonderful Continuous
lunch for couple of hours.
These aru the principal features of
the entertainment spread only. There
were others-lots of them. A pleasant
tpntnre was the part taken by the
hnsi ness men and manufacturers, the
Greenleaf Cigar company, Messrs
Dickenson and McKpever. confectioners
and caterers, the Sioux Falls Candy
company; Anthony & Son. mannsact
urers Of Kellsrs cough drops; L. I. Dun

Bottling works, Kiote Seed company; A

Kul Bros. manufacturers Of brcoms, al
of whom distributed many samples OF
their goods among the visitors and will
a free hand. Sioux Falls has dozen
or twenty manufacturing firms that
are turping out just as good goods O
their kind as can be obtained anywhere,
and they have only to b, q little bettar
known to command the trade OF the
state. The firms here mentioned are
especially known for the excellence OF
their products.
The EDITORS reluntantly babe adien tc
tho Queen City and their entertainer

the stay could not but be prolonged in
definitely. The sweet sorrow OF partiHl
was. however tinged with the Joy OF
anticipation over the summer meeting
