AN AFTERNOON PARTY.
Mrs. r. F.. Dundass Pleasantly En-.
tertained a Large Number Of
Her Friends Friday.

Friday afternoon and a portion of the
evening Mrs. r. F. Dundass entertained
a goodly number Of her lady friends at
her pleasant home on east Fifth street.
The guests arrived in the middle of
the afternoon and the time was most
enjoyably spent in those two pastimes
most priced by the members of the sex
that of fancy work and conversation.
AS the needles fitted through the cloth
an interesting stream of conversation
was kept up. There were about thirty
ladies present. At 6 o'clock delight
full supper was served. Small tables
were placed together and on these the
refreshments were served. The two
large rooms were very prettily deco
rated for the occasion, the popular
chrysanthemum being present every
where. Mrs. Dundass was assisted by
Mrs. 0. L. Branson, Mrs. Geo. A.
Silsby and Miss Julia Rogers. Mrs,
Dundass made most entertaining
hostess and the time wfls not allowed
to drag in any way. U lder the inf1u.
ence of congenial c'av-rsationalists the
afternoon and evening seemed all toe
short to her guests, and on taking their
departure the expressions of pleasure
had the impress of genuineness.

Mrs. L. j. Shaw had we'll written
paper upon the poems of Riley, while
Mrs. e. D. Maxon entertained the audi
ence with discussion of Riley's per-
sonalities.
Perhaps the most pleasing features of
the program were the readings by Miss
Emma Harker and Mr.. Ed Whitaker,
both of whom interpreted we'll the
great authors poems.
Miss Harker reoited "The Raggedy
Man" and was heartily encored, re-
spending by giving elizabeth Ann"

A BAD COLLISION.
Six Italians We're Killed and SIX
Injured in Collision on the
Omaha Road.

A disastrous accident occurred on
the Omaha road Sunday evening be-
tween Humboldt and Montrose in
which six men were killed and as MANY
others were badly injured and q great
many more not quite SO serious. The
Omaha has gang of Italians working
on the road bed at that place and when
they quit work that evening q portion
of the men got on large handcar and
the rest were on fiat car of the con-
struction train. While rounding q
curve the csboose of the train, which
was being backed into town, crashed
into the handcar. All the men jumped
off and thus avoided any serious acci-
dent and were not hurt other than by
the fall. When the work train struck
the big handcar the force of the col
lision threw four hatcars from the
track, the Italians being precipitated
beneath the cars. Six men were taken
out dead and it is thought as many
more will die from their injuries.
Doctors from Sioux Falls and the sur
rounding towns were taken to the
scene of the wreck and did all they
could to alleviate the sufferings of the
men. The dead and injured were
taken to Sioux Falls and placed in the
hospital. The Italians were SO en-
ragged at the accident that they threat
ened to lynch the mon who were in
charge of the train The trajnmen
we're not to blame for the accident.

People who attended the illustrated
lecture given by DR.. b. Darwin Nell
rath at the opera house Monday even
ing were we'll rewarded for the time
spent in listening to an interesting and
we'll presented lecture ON the foreign
countries. DR.. McIlrath's lecture is
based on trip taken by himself and
Mrs. McIlrath on bicycles around the
world. 1t was on April 10, 1895, that
the gentleman and his courageous little
wife mounted their wheels in Chicago
and started on their long journey,
neithsr of whom imagined the difficult
ties that would beset them before they
completed the circuit of the globe.
With his pictures the DR.. illustrated
the scenes through which they passed,
describing accurately and vividly what
they saw. Pictures were taken of
the many interesting scenes and these
were displayed on canvass. The des-
cription of Japan, the life OF its people
and their ways of living was interest
ing as was that of China. Some beau
tiful views were given of Burmah,
which were made more enjoyable from
the fact that the lecturer had seen all
that he was describing. India and
Persia were also visited and many
scenes were shown from these coun-
tries. The trip through Persia was
one OF disaster to both DR.. and Mrs.
McIlrath, for it WAS while crossing the
mountains in deep snow that they
nearly lost their lives, and it was by
the most superhuman efforts that the
struggle was kept up until they were
rescued. 1t was a pathetic recital of
this awful scene ia their lives. "The
little woman" as the DR.. affectionately
referred to his wife, was near death 6

ilous position with their lives. The
trip made by DR.. McIlrath was one

stances and the people who read the
account of their journey in the Chicago
Inter. Ocean at the time formed great
liking for them. AT the close of the
lecture great many went forward tt
shake hands with 'the little woman
and the DR.. and congratulate them or
their safe return and the enjoyable lee
ture to which they had listened.

Unbounded enthusiasm was rampant

noon at the close of the football game
between BrookiDgs and Mi,cnell col
lege teams. 1t was presumed. the con-
test would be far greater and closer
than it developed after short time at
play. Both teams had records of no
defeats so far this season and Brook
ings declared they were here for the
the purpose Of keeping it's record un-
tarnishcd. Flushed with victory
over the Huron and Madison colleges,
which we're played last week, they
came here strong and confident. They
went home sad and detected, fully con-
scious of Mitchell's prowess on the grid
iron.
The day was good one for football,
but 1t started to rain in the morning
and while the players did not take that
into consideration it augured bad for q
large crowd. The sun came out at
noon and remained out long enough to
decide for the people to go in large
mum bers, and as u result there was
one OF the largest crowds OF the sea-
son present.
The lineup Of the two teams was as

and Miller got the ball and in the play
that followed the ball was snapped
quickly and accurately to the half
backs for good gains in each instance.
A splendid play occurred at this point
when Maxon broke through Brookings
line and made touchdown, Kingsbury
kicking goal. Score 800,
Brookings kicked to Rowley and
Maxou again tackled the line OF Brook
ings for yard gain. The ball was
slowly advanced to near the center of
the field, when Kingsbury made rush
and escaping the interferences OF
Brookings made a touchdown. 1t
WAS the longest run of the day. He
kicked the goal and made the score
$50. ..s
Brookings kicked to Williams on the
the 45 yard line aud in the play that
followed Maxon punted the ball IL
yards, but lost it. Kingsbury, Wells
and Maxon made small but steady gains
and got the pigskin up to the Is yard
line when Kingsbury reached the goal
for touchdown and then kicked goal
Score 5l-O.
Brookings kicked to Baker at 33
yards. Wells carried the ball 30 ards,
and Kingshury and Wells. helped it
alocg 40 yards more and Maxon scored
auosher touchdown. Kingsbury kicked
goal. The score was now 81 to
and but five minutes left for play.
Brookings kicked to Rowley who
advanced it to the centre. The ball
was steadily advanced by Johnston
Tucker, Kingsbury and Wells, who
carried it within yards of Brookings
goal. In the short sorimmage that fol
lowed Maxon ran around Brookings
and made touchdown just as time wal
called, 80 it was not counted. The fna
score was $40.
The work of the Mitchell team was
indeed very satisfactory. Their inter
ference was splendid. It was noticeable
that when the end plays were made
that Mitchell man was there to guard
the man running with the ball. A
good many OF these plays are lost sigh,
of when the man is running with the
ball for the goal. Much depends OF
che ability of the other players to clea,
an opening and in this respect the
guards we're we'll trained. Brookingi
made poor showing. About the only
plays they made was in the cente,
rush, but they were unable to break
through Mitchells line.
