PUSHING ARRANGEMENTS,
Committees are Hard at Work in
Getting Things in Readiness
for Saturday.

Saturday evening the soldiers re-
ception executive committee held .
business meeting and discussed the
growing plans for the reception whish
will be held for the returning SOL
diers Saturday afternoon. A commit
tee composed of Mayor Fullerton,
Geo. A. Silsby and b. L. Bras wss
selected to 20 to Aberdeen to meet the
Mitchell boys and act as an escort to
this city. The committee will probably
60 to Aberdeen the evening previous
to their arrival there and endeavor 70
make arrangements to get them to
Mitchell on the afternoon of Saturday.
The soldiers will arrive in Aberdeen too
late to take the morning train for this
city and 'it is possible that special
train will have to be secured to bring
the companies to the south part of the
state and in that event the Mitchell
boys will arrive some time in the after
noon, probably over the Omaha road.
This matter, however, will be definitely
settled after tho committee arrives At
Aberdeen when the information will be
sent to this city.
Committees were also appointed to
make the collections of the provisions
for the reception on Saturday evening.
The committees are as follows:
First ward-J. 81. Nolt and Luke
Richards.
Second Ward-Dan Tenney and B. S.
Barnard.
Third ward-David Brown and G. 81.
Kibbee.
Fourth ward-Dr. S. ]. Moore and
W. 81. McKeel.

DAKOTA UNIVERSITY NOTES,

If anyone should doubt that Presi-
dent Graham is overly enthusiastic in
his endesvors to secure new building
for the Dakota University they should
take view of the assembly room at
chapel exercises. Not only will they
find all the opera chairs occupied but
also that every available space is filled
with chairs brought in from recitation
rooms, and still they are coming. The
second week of this years work is
closing with the enrolment steadily
increasing and many are yet to come
and as we are OF an optimistic turn of
mind we believe that before another
fall has made its debut the friends of
this institution will have rallied to the
presidents call and have erected the
much needed building. The increase
of attendance has given the faculty no
little trouble in arranging the peri
DDS satisfactory to teachers and stu
dents, but as that difficulty is now out
OF the way every class has settled down
10 lull WORK.
Each society has elected officers and
are now rustling for new members. A
we'll rendered program, the first of the
season, will be given by each society
in their respective halls this evening.
At 4:30 o'clock each afternoon the
foot ball team is found on the ath-
letic grounds doing some very earnest
and lively work under the direction OF
Prof. Blodgett. A second team has
been organized that puts up pretty
strong opposition for the first team
that will not be one whit behind the
one of last year, and, in fact, it is ex-
pected that its work this year will sur
pass all previous efforts. Not only are

OUT OF THE SERVICE.
The South Dakota Boys Have Been
Mustered Out and are Now
Ready for Home.

The Minneapolis papers brought quite
bit of information Friday concerning
the South Dakota regiment and the
matter of homecoming. The work of
mastering out and paying the men was
completed Thursday evening, and, as
Journals correspondent says "the men
who have earned the reputation of being
the best fighters in the Philippines, and
have made record which surpasses
anything in the annals of military his
tory for continuous service in the field,
are being rapidly metamorphosed into
plain citizens"
A contract has been signed with the
Northern Pacific railroad for the trans
portation of the regiment from San
Francisco to Oakes for 1872 Is per man,
the regiment to be landed at Oakes on
the morning of the 14th of Oct. at
6 o'clock. Concerning the feeding Of
the regiment it ls the intention of the
committee at San Francisco to attach a
car to the train, stock it with provisions
and feed the men free of cost on the
entire trip. 1t will cost the committee
s., 900 to do this but they do not pro-
pose to have the boys depend on lunch
counters or sandwiches for their sub.
sistence.
Coporal Larrabee, who was taken
sick with smallpox last week died We'd
nesday noon and he was buried q short
time after death ensued, none of the
regiment being permitted to attend
He was in line of promotion had he
lived.
There seems to have been some dis.
agreement among the men as to march
ing when they reached Aberdeen but
this has been satisfactorily arranged
and they will parade before the presi
dent. The regiment will leave fol-
home between now and Sunday.

DOGS TATTOOED.
An English Method of Marking Vass
liable Animals Adopted in
This Country.

It has been the practice in London for
some time to tattoo dogs. In some
cases it has been done as means OF
Identification; in others it is just mere
fad for the ostentatious show of newly
acquired crest or coat of arms, says this
New York Herald.
The most sensible reason for such a
fad seems to be for Identification In
case of theft or loss. Certain breeders
have certain private marks by which
they can identify dogs of a particular
family. These marks are kept close
track of, and the age and pedigree of
the dog can be settled at once by re-
ferring to the records.
Dog tattooing is now done in this city.
A well-known fancier has tattooed
dogs for the Astors, the Nanderbilts,
Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Gould and other men
who own valuable dogs.
THE plain markings, such as crosses,
double Y and private Marks" he said,
"are not done by tattooing, but with
long, fine needle, such as milliners use,
and fine thread dipped in Indian ink.
This needle is run under the skin in
longstitches, the thread pulled through
and left there for some little time, and
then pulled out again, leaving the stain
of the ink under the skin, and that stain
can never be destroyed.
Dogs are mostly marked right in the
bend of the fore or hind leg, where there
is no hair and the skin is very tender.
Sometimes it is done in the ears.
perhaps you did not know that high
priced fowls are tattooed and marked
for pedigree identification? Well, near
ly every game chicken has some special
mark upon it, and anyone at all familiar
with the raising of game fowls owns
book which gives all the private mark
ings of valuable species"
