The only approach to a blizzard
which has occurred during the
winter took place last Saturday,
when quite a fall of snow came
down with strong northwest
wind, the storm continued all
day. This snow however has
about all disappeared during the
week.
With the continuous clamor
upon the part of the buyer for
for cheaper goods and the won
derful strife upon the part of
manufacturers to meet their
demands; it is a fact that some
goods have been built so cheap
that they are of not much ac-
count. This applies to the Boss
harrows, which have in fact aud
are now in some cases being
built so cheaply that they are
scarcely worth anything. l have
paid a better price this year, and
believe l have as good a harrow
as will be found-at least the
best one | have had for several
years. 1t can be seen at my
warehouse in Milbank.

With the advent of the rural
mail routes the post-ofice
at st. Joseph in this county has
been discontinued at the request
of John Martens the postmaster
St. Joseph is one of the oldest
post-otfices in this part of the
country, having been established
% years ago, when the martens
crossing" over the Milestone
was one of the important land
marks on the trail west. During
the % years Mr.. Martens has
been postmaster, and while a half
dozen different presidents have
occupied the white house and
revolutions have taken place in
postal affairs throughout the
United States the postmaster at
St. Joseph has not even been
Jared by the passing time and
tumults until the rural delivery
knocked him out of his occupa-
ton by sending a daily mail to
his door and to his neighbors
beyond.
L. L. Conright had not in
tended to celebrate his birthday
except in a quiet, modest way,
but a number of his G.. A. r.
comrades and neighbors thought
that the anniversary of the event
which was fraught with SO
much Importance to Levi should
be celebrated with proper eclat,
and they came in upon him with
out invitation Tuesday evening.
They not only came themselves
but they sent an invitation to
Prince Henry to attend, and al
though the Prince had not in
tended to come so far west as
South Dakota, nevertheless in
honor of his friend Levi he ac-
cepted the invitation with his
wife, the Princess Katrina, and
to please the royal visitors, a
German luncheon was served,
in which weinerworst, saurkraut
and "coffee cochen, were passed
with other luxuries. Miss
Caddie Jones, whose birthday is
on the same date as Lewis,
barring some two score years,
had been invited to the Conright
residence for the evening and
was an honored guest of the
occasion. A most enjoyable time
was had.
