the local play house give them nc
opportunity to display some Of it at
all. The costumes Of the ladies are
very handsome and attract the atten-

Which is His Real Name.

The man mentioned below is wanted
here for stealing an oyercoat belong
ing to John Gosman, from the Com
mercial Hotel Sheriff Oium will go
after him when his time expires.
In Rrookings he went by the name of
Kennedy. This is what the Lake
Benton News says:
Last Saturday Capt. Larson captur-
ed fellow named Lyons, who appears
TO be very dangerous crook. LIONS
just finished a Jail sentence at Brook
ings and left town when the Brookings
county officials again started on his
track. Lyons seems to have gone di-
rectly from the jail to plying his trade,
and had succeeded in getting a good
watch, overcoat and some money and
many other articles, and was inter.
cepted in his flight at this point 10y
Capt. Larson, who had received tele.
gram from the BrookiDgs county
sheIotf.
When Lyons was arrested he was
searched and had on his person some
tooth powder and camphor ice which
he had Gifted" from X. G.. Kartum's
drug store. As Lyons refused to &C
back to Brookings without requisitlor
papans he was arrested for stealing the
art:3es from Mr.. Ka?tum's drug store
He was tried and covicted and sen
fenced to $40 fine and cost or tifteeI
days in the village jail. He is now il
Jail. The BrOokings authorities will
no doubt, have plenty Of time to ge
the necessary papers to take him back
where he will have to answer to sew
eral charges. In the trial here Lyon
conducted his own case and showed
himself to be thoroughly familiar will
court proceedings. He is a man abou
fOrty-fve years old"

THE Y. ". c. A.
Ninth Annual Convention Closes
a Few Fignres.


The ninth annual convention of the
Y. w. g. A. association of South Da.
kota closed in this city Monday fore
noon. The sessions were held In the
college chapel and were we'll attended.
The work of this association is con-
fined TO colleges in South Dakota, the
purpose being the furtherance OF the
development of christian character
among its members and the women
students in the educational iust!tu-
tions.
Among the seven South Dakota
colleges comprising the organization,
six were represented in this cOnyen-
tiOn.
These were colleges at YauktOn,
Vermillion, Mitchell, Brookings, Red
field and Huron. The total member
ship of the association is about 300.
There are twelve bible study classes,
with membership Of rs; five mission
study classes, with a mem bership OF
II. There are six volunteers for for
eign missions now awaiting assign
ment. The sum OF $50 was pledged for
work in the state.
The opening meeting was largely
attended, about eighty being present
at this session. Miss Avery of Red
field, gave very pleasing account of
the international convention of Y.
w. c. A. workers held at Geneva,
Switzerland, to which she was dele
gate from this state She noticed this
difference between the work in this
country and that in Europe: Here
the college associations are many, and
the city ones few; there they have
many city and even district associa.
tions, but very few in connection with
colleges.
The meetings on Saturday were very
interesting, profitable and spiritual.
The day closed with a reception given
by the Huron association to the dele
gates, students, faculty members, and
visitors from the city. Music, recita-
tions and games made the time pass
pleasantly.
On Sunday morning the pastors OF
the city preached sermons having
special reference to the needs and
duties Of young women. at an after
noon meeting held in the college
chapel were present not only delegates
and students, but many friends inter
ested ia the work,
On Sabbath evening the exercises
in the Presbyterian church were en-.
! tirely in charge of the Y. w. 9. A
convention. Miss Jones, secretary OF
the Sioux City association, gave an
address to very large and apprecia
