The McPhail Pianos have arrived
and are now being exhibited by John
Evans in his new music store in the
Evans Block. They are beauties. It
would seem difficult to improve upon
them in. any particular. One only
needs to try them to be satisfied with
their perfect sweetness of tone and
singing qualities together with such a
desired elasticity in action. Don't for
get the place. John Evans Music

Col. A. j. Smith. Assistant Inspector
General of Soldiers Homes of the
United States, spent Wednesday at
the Home here. He carefully went
over every thing about the Home. I'm
the afternoon the members we're mus
tered in front of the Home and he
passed up and down the line with the
critical eye of an old and experienced
regular army officer. When all was
completed he said, "The South Dakota
Soldiers Home is a gen." after which
he said good many complimentary
things about the management. He
said, II like to come here, it is restful
and meet nothing but good :, Cheer
He left Thursday morning on the B. &
M. for the Home in Montana. Perhaps
no man in the country knows more
about soldiers homes and their man
agement than does Col. Smith. Their
interests and management has been
his life's work for quarter of centu.
