enjoyed. Mr. Logan's horse showed
up in fine shape in the race. The
animal does some fine work on the
track and made lot of friends for his

The chariot race was run between
the Mitchell and Letcher teams, and
the latter carried off the honors. Ed.
Nicholson drove the Letcher four and
b. j. Shelmadine held the reins over
the Mitchell horses. Icicle Dan, the
pony owned by the Shoemakers, did
better work than on the day previous
and won from the victor of the previous
race.
1t has been long time since Mitch
ell people have been treated to such
good races on the home track and the
interest that was shown in the racing
meet, late as it was in the season, will
undoubtedly lead ano encourage the
association to give series of meeting 8
next year. When people can be as
sured Of as good races as were given at
the present meeting there is no ques-
tion but good patronage will be
afforded.

WIND UP THE AFFAIRS.
Soldiers Who Came Home Ahead
Will be Given Their Fare
as the Rest We're.

Aberdeen News: Chairman Brown of
the soldiers homecoming finance COM
mittee, states that meeting of the
committee will be held as soon 80 may
be for tho purpose Of winding UP its af
fairs. AS near Is can be asce erlained,
something like $50 of the members of
the first regiment were disc c,arged and
came home before the date of the mus
ter out, October 6, paying their own
fare, and i, Is proposed by the commit
too to repay these sold iers as nearly as
possible the amounts their fare cost
them. 1t is not certain that the com
mittee will have money enough to pay
these soldiers the entire cost of their
fare, but the available funds will be
divided pro rata among them. All
such soldiers should send their names
and oostoffice address, with any other
particulars to F. A. Brown, chairman,
Aberdeen, or E. J. Miller, secretary,
Huron, at their earliest con venience, so
that the committee may act without
unnecessary delay in the matter

had participated in sports for prize
money. The charges were substan-
tlated and they were not permitted to
carry off the first places. AS a result
the athletes withdrew from the associa-
tlon, but at that time the orators STAYED
In. AT a meeting held in Vermillion
the other day the Students Association
Withdrew from the oratorical branch
and the severance of the state univer-
slty from the association is now COM
plete. A Vermillion dispatch in refer
ring to the matter says: "It was not
deemed best to split the two, and one
enter South Dakota contests and the
other Iowa and Nebraska, 80 both will
go together. Better results, it is be-
lleved, will be obtained through hav-
ing the brain, Drawn, oratory and ath-
letlcs working in harmony. The stu
dents have no reason to regret their
withdrawal, for they have Joined high
or and faster company and are of the
opinion that good records will be
made" So far as athletics are con-
cerned the state university has been
the leader in the association but in the
matter OF oratory they have been away
behind and will find themselves in too
swift company when they compete with
Iowa and Nebraska.

FOUR PEOPLE MADE HAPPY.
A Wedding Occurred at the Plotner
House Monday and Another
in SanbOrn County,

A quiet, but none the less happy,
wedding occurred at the Plotner house
at l:3O Monday afternoon, when
Mr.. William Miller and Miss Ollie
Roberts were united in marriage in the
presence Of the guests of the house.
The ceremony WAS performed by the
Rev. A. D. d. Fraser and the minister
made it an impressive one. The bride
is an attractive little lady and was
dressed in white and wore a pretty
bouquet of flowers. She came all the
way from Etherton, ELL, to meet the
the man of her choice and welded him
among strangers. She arrived here
last Wednesday and has been waiting
the arrival of her prospective usband
since. They had arranged to meet
here Monday but she got here few
days too soon, and he came in this
morning from White Lake. MIR. Miller
owns farm some distance from that
place and is in very good circumstances.
They took the train that afternoon for
their home, carrying with them the
hearty wishes OF the guests who were
present at the wedding.

THE VOLUNTEERS RECEPTION.
j he Bachelor Club Paid the Volun-
teers Handsome Tribute
in the Reception.

1t was very graceful act which the
Bachelor Club performed Friday even
ing when that popular social organiza.
tion rendered the returned volunteers q
reception at The Mitchell, at which
they wore made the guests of the club.
1t lent military air to the party to see
the soldiers in their uniforms gliding
hither and thither among the dancers
and happy was the lady who was
accorded the honor to participate in
one of the dances with the soldiers.
The room was handsomely and
attractively decorated with flags and
bunting, shields with the national
colors being hung on the walls, bearing
the monogram Of the club. The effect
was indeed very pretty and beneath
the shielded rays of the electric lights
a delightful scene progressed through
the evening.
The dancing program began with
the grand march, which was led by Mr..
Fl. P. Beckwith and Hiss Nettie Welle,
oao ooAIuo lIOE4 CduS LuS SOlul0FS

Major Warne, Lieut.. Horace Bates,
of Flandreau, First Sergeant J. Ross
Keeling, of Huron, Sergeant o. W.
Coursey, Sergeant Henry Tunis, Jos.
Vermilyea, Roy Perry, Frank Sayles.
In recognition OF the presence of the
soldiers Rathbun's orchestra played
the First South Dakota Regiment
March, composed by the bandmaster OF
the regiment while in the Philippines.
Following the march came series ot
pleasant and enjoyable dances, the pro-
gram being made up with reference te
the enjoyment of the soldiers.
The attendance at the reception and
party was very large and the full
capacity of the dancing space was uti
lized through the entire evening. Rath
buns orchestra furnis ed some splendid
music and there was nothing to pre-
won't all from having one Of the mos
enjoyable dances of the season. The
bachelors are entitled to much praise
and credit for the handsome manner
in which they did the honors to the
soldiers and the pleasures of the occas
ion will not be soon forgotten by tht
participants.

SITE FOR PUBLIC BUILDING.
Location Being Selected for the
State Educational Building at
Aberdeen.

Governor Lee was at Aberdeen Sat-
urday says q dispatch from that city,
for the purpose of viewing the sites
offered the state for the industrial and
normal school, which was located in
this city last winter by the legislature.
The title TO only one site was ready
when the governor arrived, tract on
West Hill, south OF the F. W. Brooks
residence, but yesterday subscription
list was started and sufficient amount
of money subscribed to purchase
twenty acres of the Grace land, which
joins the city on the east, between Sec-
ond and Fourth avenues. This loca-
tion was also formally rendered the
governor before his departure. The
governor gave no intimation of what
he would do in relation to the matter,
but it would not bs surprising if he
decided In favor of the Grace location.
He has until the first of the year in
which to make up his mind.

fraternal principles of the order and
welcomed the guests to the exercises

BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
In tho Spraying of Penrs Of All Kinds
and Apples II Iins Proved
Quite Effective.

At Green's fruit farm we have found
by the present years experience thai.
pears are greatly benefited by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture. The spray
should be applied three times. The
first time at once after the trees have
blossomed and the next time a few
weeks thereafter. The Seckel pear is
particularly inclined TO be imperfect
unless sprayed, but where sprayed the
Stckel was smooth and beautiful. The
blemishes on other varieties Of pears
can be. largely removed by spraying
and the quality Of The fruit is greatly
increased. In apple orchards buyers do
not care TO go far to see orchards that
have not been sprayed, knowing that
the fruit Of such orchards cannot be
first-class. One spraying is not enough
for apple orchards, since frequent
showers are liable to occur at the sea-
son of the year when spraying is done,
which is at the close Of blossoming. We
have also sprayed our peach trees with
partial success, but the spraying not
entirely preventing the peach leaf curl.
There is no question whatever that the
orchamist must have spraying equip
ment in order TO market the finest speci-
| mems of fruit.-Green's Fruit Grower.

Lambert watched him reach up hall a

to sway about as they do in crowds where
there are nervous or mischevous persons
who insist on pushing.
Burbank was almost carried oil ms ieel,

endeavored to find above his head,

HOW TO SAVE SPLIT TREES

rot only be saved. but no injury will re-
suit, nor will growth or fruiting be in
terfered with. The writer last year
had valuable York Imperial apple
tree split in this manner while the limbs
were hanging moderately full Of fruit.
The halves were drawn well together
by means OF ropes through the heavy
limbs above the crotch; hole was then
bored through the center Of the trunk
at the crotch, and large bolt inserted.
A large iron washer was used at either
end The nut was then placed on the
bolt and the halves drawn close, the
rope being again used to avoid strip
ping the thread Of the bolt. The ropes
were removed and the trunk was more
secure against wind than originally
P-the large washers keeping the bolt ends
from sinking into the wood. Finally, a
wax composed OF one-third rosin, one.
third beeswax and one-third tallow,
melted together, was smeared all over
the crack and in the crotch. The crop
Of apples matured as fully as those Of
the surrounding trss, and no diff
ference has since been noticed in its
growth. This year bark formed over
the crack, pushing away the wax. The
iron bolt through the tree will not IN
any way injure it.--Guy z. Mitchell, In
Farm and Fireside.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Pruning the grape may be done at
any time now, when the vines are not
frozen.
Long stable manure makes a good
mulch for the strawberry bed. but the
objection is that it contains too many
weed seeds.
II is claimed that liberal dressing OF
salt under ounce trees as far out as
the roots extend will help to induce
bearing.
Moss-covered trees will be benefited by
whitewashing Of lime and wood ashes
in equal parts, wet up to proper con-
sistency with water.
The greatest enemy ofhouse plants is
dust. Much of this may be avoided by
covering before commencing TO sweep.
Wash the leaves occasionally.
II proper work in pruning is done a,
tie time OF planting the tree and for
tie next four or five years little time or
labor will be needed afterwards.
In raising trees or plants from cut
tings the important point is to have the
callus formed as soon as possible, so
that the emission OF roots Will be a
little ahead of the unfalding Of the
ltaves.-St. Louis Republic.
