SOUTH DAKOTA'S GREETING
Journey of Its Troops Through the State is
to Be Continuous Ovation.
PRESENCE OF THE PRESIDENT ADDS TO IT
Every Town Has Its Program, But
the Welcome is Expected to Reach
Its Climax in Aberdeen and
at sioux Falls.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 12.-(Special)
South Dakota cities and towns are dom
ming gala attire in anticipation of the visit
to the state next Saturday of President Nc
Kinley simultaneously with the return of
the First regiment, South Dakota volun-
tcers. Preparations are practically COM
pleted for the reception OF the First reg
iment, which left San Francisco last Sum
day night on its return from the Philippines
and will reach the state next Saturday morn
ing about the time Of the arrival of Pres
ident Mckinley and party.
The return of the South Dakota regiment
after an absence OF more than a year in the
Philippines and service on the firing line
for period of 126 days. is impatiently
awaited by the people of South Dakota who
have furnished the soldiers with the spe>
cial train which is now hurrying them
toward home. This permits the soldiers to
retain the travel pay allowed them by the
government. The money for the special
train and transportation was raised by as
sessing the various counties a pro rata por-
lon-varying from 500 to $2,000-of the
total sum needed. Time was so limited that
the residents of the various counties could
not raise their share by popular subscrip-
tions, so Boards OF County Commissioners
were called in special session and appro-
prlated the necessary sum from county
FUNDS. 1t is planned to have the next ses-
sion OF the state legislature reimburse the
counties. thus making the burden fall
equally upon the state.
AT Billings, Mont, the Black Hills con-
tingent, consisting of Companies |. L and NJ
VIII separate from the main body and pro-
ceed homeward over the Burlington railroad
to Deadwood and Lead, from which points
the men, at the conclusion Of the recep-
tlons which await them there, will scatter
to their homes.
The main body OF the regiment, after the
Black Hills contingent separates from 1t at
Billings, will proceed eastward to Oakes.
N. D., and then southwark to Aberdeen.
5. D., where the volunteers will be greeted
by President Mckinley. The people Of
Hecla, three miles from the northern bound
airy CT the state propose erecting a monster
Welcome" arch over the railroad track
on the state line. This will serve as a
welcome to the president and the returning
regiment.
At Aberdeen an executive committee of
twenty-five 10 rapidly concluding arrange
ments for suitable reception to the presi-
dent and troops. President Mckinley will
remain in Aberdeen two or three hours. 1t
is expected that from 10000 to 40 900 per-
sons, drawn by the double attraction, will
be in Aberdeen during the stay of the presi-
dent and troops.

VIC. 7. U. COLUMN.

A late writer in The Union Signal
gives a striking instance of the value II
the temperance pledge to strengthen
good resolutions under trial. This
writer, who is lady school teacher in
the south, first tells The character of a
poor Mountain White" boy, of Ken
lucky, Jesse Robinson, and OF his
struggles 10 get an education. and then
adds the following: His mind was
slow in arriving ut any definite conclu-
sion about anything, but when he once
decided the mountains among which
he had been reared were not more inn
movable than he. One noon he came
awkwardly up to my platform for the
work of encouragement that he knew
was awaiting him. 1t seemed to me
that the time had come to introduce the
subject of temperance, so after little
talk on that important theme. during
which drew from him the information
that he was accustomed TO take an
occasional dram, | said: ''Jesse, will
you not sign the temperance pledge?"
The old obstinate look came over his
face as he replied: mo, the pledge is
no count" Seeing that further urging
was useless, said, Take time to think
the matter over carefully and prayer
fully and you will surely sign IT." In
a few days he was again standing awk-
wardly before me, his right hand grasp
ing his left wrist, habit he had con-
tracted from wearing a coat with sleeves
much too short for the long arms. His
face lighted up with pleasant smile as
he SAID, II have been thinking about
that temperance pledge right smart and
have made up my mind TO sign it,"
