THE COLONIAL BALL.
There was a Large Attendance and a
Pleasant Evening Resulted
From the Affair.

The costumes OF q hundred years ago
were pretty we'll depicted at the COL
onial ball given at Masonic hall Frid ~
evening under the auspices of the W.
r. G. The attendance wAs gratifying
ly large and there WAS large number
of people who went in costume, the
ladies predominating. The guests be,
gan arriving shortly after o'clock and
soon the room was pretty we'll
crowded. The central figures at the
opening of the ball were George and
Martha Washington, who were repre-
sented by Mr., and Mrs.. M. Wood.
The honored couple was introduced to
the assembled company by Major r. c..
Warne, late Of the state regiment. To
the right and left of the couple stood
several of the returned volunteers.
The costumed guests went forward and
extended welcome to George and
Martha and after a few moments of
conversation the grand march followed
and was led by the representatives of
the ancient Washington. The pro-
gram was made up Of the ancient
dances in the way of ootillions, minuets,
ETC., with some Of the latter day dances

The costumes wora were quite ap.
propriate to the day which it was in

very beautiful and were arranged in an
artistic manner. Flags and the nation.

corations and with the costumes the
scene presented was lively ono.
Oae of the features of the evening
was the cake walk given by Imogene
Cownick and Glenn Rowley. The lit

1t was the concensus OF opinion
Thursday evening after the lecture by
William Hawley Smith thas it was the
best number of the lectures in the
course. A great many people have ex-
pressed themselves in that way and it
must be accepted as true. The one
central idea that Mr.. Smith endeavor-
ed to carry through the lecture and
around which his illustrations we're
grouped was that OF not attempting to
do something that was beyond your
ability. He wanted to impress the
fsct on the minds of the people that
naturalness was thing to be sought t
for in life. He clothed his thoughts in
language that was plain and presented
them in such an entertaining fashion
that they will not go astray of their

MASONIC TEMPLE DEDICATED.
The Masons at Ashton Dedicated
Their New Hall to the Uses of
the Fraternity.

ASHTON, S, D., Feb. 23.-The dedi-
catio1 OF the Masonic Temple which
was held in this town last night was
society event which will long be re-
membered by the participants. About
year ago the Masonic lodge bought
an unused building and made sufficient
repairs and improvements upon i. as to
convert it into two fine business rooms
below and two finely equipped lodge
rooms above. One OF these rooms is used
for lodge purposes for the Masons and
EasternIStar Chapter and the other is
utilized for banquet hall A short
time ago the finishing touches were
placed on the Masonic temple and the
mbers of the fraternity commenced
the arrangements for tho dedication of
the temple and the date selected was
the birthday of that ancient Mason and
we'll known figure in history-George
Washington. Over 300 handsome in
vitations were sent out to friends of the
order, and many outside visitors from
Redfeld, Aberdeen, Worthwhile, Mel
lette, Huron, Brookings, and Mitchell
were present.
An executive committee consisting
of S. 2. Watkins, j. G. Bullen, and G.

Burned.

Casper Kerr'S Home Last Sun

LIVERY BARN BURNED.
Quite a Serious Conflagration Oc-
CURED bv the Burning of
Livery Barn.

The livery barn of Curtis g. Randall,
on the corner of Second and Lswler
streets was partially destroyed by fire
at noon Tuesday. There wore twenty
horses i'll the barn at the time of the
contfagration, Mr.. Curtis being out in
the country with one team. Really
before the men in the barn below were
aware OF the fire the barn was filled
with smoke and it was difficult prob.
lem to get the horses out before much
Roadway had been gained by the
flames. All the horses but one were
taken out and counted and it was dis
covered that Mayor Fullerton's horse
had been overlooked. Will Dodson
and one or two other men grooped
their way through the smoke into the
barn and found the animal lying down
in the stall, partly suffocated by the
smoke and the flames burning over
head. They grabbed the horse and
managed to pull him out and thus saved
the animal. The buggies were gotten
out in hurry and practically very
little, if anything, of the stock was lost
in the flames.
How the fire started was something
of q mystery. Will Bowen and Will
Bushnell were the first to discover the
fire when it started in the hay NOW.
They were unloading load of hay and
had it half completed when Bushnell
coming his way and he barely had time
to climb down the ladder before the
fire was at the west end of of the barn
| The fire department got to the fire or
time and soon after they got the water
On the fire they had it under control
| The entire east end of the building wal
burned, but the west half was saved
with some damage. The NOW was full
of hay and it made a fierce fire with
huge clouds of smoke rolling off to the
north.
The building was owned by D. W
Collins and he stated that he had aboa
800 OF insurance on it. The liverymeI
had something over $500 insurance OF
the stock, but there was not mucl
damage to it, unless it be to the robe
and harness,
AS is always the case at a fire th'
firemen were hampered somewhat b,
the assistance, we'll meant, by th'
crowd which huddled around the fire
men offering advice and suggestions
The crowd ought to understand 70 kee]
at respectful distance and give th'
iremen every show there is to worl
fast.

DIED AND CAME TO LIFE
Peculiar Experience of a Methodist
Minister Who Died and Came
Back to Life,

1t isn't very often that man has the
experience OF dying and then coming
back to life again. According to the
correspondent at Miller Rev. Mr..
Styles, a Methodist minister of Wes-
sington, has gone through with that
ordeal. The correspondent makes the
following statement in reference to the
matter:
From Washington comes a strange
story Of per son coming TO life after
having been givenup for dead. Rev
Styles, the Methodist, minister had
been dangerously i'll, and was expected
to die any day.
He felt that he must 90 soon, but he
cautioned hisfriends not to bury him
until they were sure he was dead, as he
seemed TO feel that he would die to ell
appearances and come to life again.
Sure enough he died-at least his
watchers and friends so deolared-aGd
the sad news was heralded about TOW n
and TO the neig boring towns and even
sent to the daily papers. But as the
stricken man had predicted he again
showed signs Of life after few hours,
and sadness gave way to Joy. He
STEADILY rallied and is now well.
Rev. Mr.. Styles wss former resi-
dent of this city and lived on the south
side. A year ago last fall he moved
from here to Artesian with his family
and from there went to Wessington
where his peculiar experience hap
pened. The minister is quite we'll
known here and his friends regard his
condition as indeed singular.
