LOOKING AFTER PENSIONERS
A Government Officer Making the
Rounds Among the Old Sold
iers for Inspections.

Every ten years the pension depart
ment at Washing ton sends out an agent
to the various states to make personal
inspection, as near as possible, Of all
the old soldiers on the pension rolls.
Major Sues, of Sioux Falls, who is the
governments agent for this state, has
been in the city for several days on this
matter and has gone into ahe country
in various directions on this mission.
1t is the business of this officer to see if
the pensioners are receiving their
money promptly, or if there has been a
soldier died and the money is being re-
ceived by somebody who Is impersonat-
ing him. This has been done freque Mt
ly and the government has made it a
point to see that the system is not kept
up. 1t is also his business to correct
any Irregularities that may be in vogue
and under this head there is one in
this city, for which, however, the
pensioner is in no way responsible. 1t
happened when he enlisted in the civil
war. In some way the recruiting
officer spelled his name wrong but the
error was not corrected and all there
years he has drawn his pension under
that name. 1t is probable that the
mistake will be corrected now but i,
will entail . great deal of trouble te
the pensioner. he tried 10 have the
mistake corrected wh~r rs was in the
army but the officer io charge put it of
from time TO time and it was nevel
done. Major Sues left for his hom'
today and will con niinue his inspection
in other parts Of the state.

The Same Old Story.

Gam Valley Chief: The stove agents
who were through here last summer
selling stoves ard ranges give another
proof of the general unreliability and
DIS honesty of agents OF this kind.
They sold quite number of ranges in
this county at big prices, and in many
cases they agreed to take in old stoves
as part of tie purchase price, taking
note for The full price OF the new one
and allowing liberal credit on the
note for the old one. The collectors
are back now collecting the notes, but
in no case is there any Endorsement of
the amount at which the old stove was
to be taken. Some also paid part cash
but the note is always for the full price
of the stove without any Endorsement IT,

IN THE DRAMATIC LINE.
Mr.. Noble's Company Had a Good
House and Pleased the Pat
rOns Immensely.

Mitchell hasn't been overburdened
with dramatic attractions in the past
few months, in fact they have been
very scarce, and the first to come along
this way Was the Noble Theatre Co.,
which gave a very good performance of
"The Gold King" at the opera house
Friday evening. Mr.. Noble has ap-
peared here before and the people
knew what to expect from him and they
were not in the least disappointed by
the presentation of the drama. The
play was al interesting one all through
and the work of esch member of the
company is worthy of special mention.
Mr.. Noble assumed the leading charac-
ter and in many places gave some 6ne
acting. Miss Johnstone, as Pug, was
exceedingly vivacious all the time and
her dancing was very clever. Lew
Gortop, as Dennis O'Cassity, had the
house with him every time he came on
the stage and they laughed with him
at every turn. The other members OF
| the company SaVo d uAo euppOFs duu
the entire performance was indeed
very satisfactory. The orchestra is 9
very agreeable feature of the show ard
the music was greatly appreciated
There was fair audience at the
opera house Saturday evening when the
Noble Theatre Co. presented 'Dad'i
Angel" which gave several of the per
formers an opportunity to display thei
ability to better advantage than dit
the drama of the evening before. 7'h'
play was given very good presents
tion and the specialties were given b.
Miss Johnstone and Mr.. Gorton. TIL
