AN AMATEUR CIRCUS
Mrs. Vermilyea Entertains a SOciaK
Club in Very Unique and
ENJOYABLE Manner.

Mr.. and Mrs. G. E. Vermilyea
entertained the social club at their
home Thursday evening in a very
unique manner. Mrs. Vermilyea
planned a circus on a miniature scale,
and it was CARED out to a nicely.
Each Of the club members were re-
quested to dress in some fantastic
costume, and when they all assembled
it was a. motley array of toilets
Quite a good deal of ingenuity was
displayed by the guests in the ar
raneement of costumes and they we're
all appropriate to the occasion. The
rooms were decorated and arranged
with the circus idea prominent and
when the circus was opened each of
the guests participated in the grand
entry to music. A little saw dust
ring had been improvlsed and each Of
the guests made his appearance with
their animals to give a part of the
performance. Toy horses were used
and little chariots provided for the
chariot races. 1t was very laugh
able affair and it was enjoyed to the
full by the spectators and the parti-
cipants. Ping pong and caroms also
served to amuse the guests during the
evening. Dainty refreshments were
served when the performers were so
fatigued from their exertions.

SIX ON THE TICKET
Old Soldiers Made Quite a Showing on
Republican Ticket With Six Can
didateS.
High School Foot Ball Team Won Over
the Reddeld College Team in a
Hard Game.

the Benefit Of Century Memorial

OLD SOLDIERS WERE IN 1T
Six of Them We're Elected on the
Republican Ticket at the Re.
cent Election,

Perhaps very little thought was
given to the fact that Of the four
teen candidates on the republican
ticket there were six soldiers.
They were not nominated on that
proposition, but it happened they
were all candidates and received the
nomination. They were as follows
W. Abbey for probate Judge; o. D.
Stearns for auditor; S. Cattrell for
clerk Of courts; W. H. Webster and
S. j. Moore for commissioners
o. W. Coursey for county superin-
tendent. The first five were in the
civil war and Mr.. Coursey served
his country in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war.
We doubt very much if there was
another county in the state that
had as many soldier candidates on
the ticket as Dawson county.
We believe there are very few
counties in the state that made as
heavy republican gains as this county.
The heaviest gain was on senator.
Two years ago after a strong cam
paign Geo. A. Johnston was elected
senator by 72 majority. This year
0. L. Branson was elected for the
same office by majority of 632. a
gain of $50 votes. The majorities of
practically all Of the county officials
reached between 250 and 1926.
There is no element we believe
that entered largely into the increas-
ed republican vOte-we refer to the
many new settlers that have come
to the county in the past year or
two. A goodly portion CT them came
from republican counties in Iowa,
Lynn county and others, and joined
their forces with the republicans
in this county. The party got by
far the greatest majority of the new
settlers.

CONTESTANT WAS GALLANT
Contestant Yielded a Satisfactory
Point in Withdrawing Contest
Against Some Land.

Miss Emma and Pearl Harker. lice
Saul and Cora Miner returned home
Saturday morning from Chamberlain,
where they have been having some
interesting business before the United
States land Office. The ladies filed
on some land in the Chamberlain
district some time ago and recently
some individuals in the vicinity filed
contests on each quarter. Yesterday
the cases of The Misses Harker were
up before the land Office for hear
ing. Before the hearing had pro-
ceeded very far the contestant finally
decided to withdraw his case and
cause the ladies no further trouble.
Misses Saul and Miner also have con-
tests on their land, and hope to be as
successful as the other ladies. Their
hearings will come up later before
the land Office.

WON OVER REDFIELD
Mitchell High School Foot Ball Ar
lists Defeated Redfield College
Thursday.

The High School foot ball team
arrived home from Redfeld Friday
morning and the boys were extremely
jubilant over their victory in the
game of foot ball played with the
Relfield college team Thursday after
noon. The score resulted % to 12
in favor of Mitchell. According to
the score the game was a good one
and demonstrated the fact that
Mitchell has as strong high school
team as there is in the state. The
college eleven outweighed the high
school team on an average of twenty
pounds per man, but the home team
had the students beaten on speed.
At the end of the first half the score
stood % to 0 in favor of Mitchell,
but in the second half the heavy
weights Of the college team COM
menced to pound the Mitchell line
with the result that they broke
through and scored twice during the
11dll. AOuCAOOWuo WC1C HduC NY lOl-
lowing players for Mitchell: Porter,
Gregory, II. Seaman 2, and W.
Seaman. Gregory kicked two very
difficult goals. The Redfeld line
was very heavy and averaged 1S5
pounds, and much credit is due the
home boys for holding against it as
long as they did. Prof. Cropp has
had the high school eleven in train
ing for some time and his good work
in that direction made the boys
winners against a heavier team.
Baker and Greaves were the umpire
and timekeeper for Mitchell.
The following is the lineup ot
Mitchell's eleven: W. Seaman, left
end; Storer, left tackle; White, left
guard; Doyle, center; Porter, right
guard; Johnston and Greaves, right
tackle; Vickers, right end; Nolt
quarter; Gregory, right half; Hough
left half; Seaman and Wallis, full
back.

CARRIED EVERY COUNTY
Republican Candidate for Governor
Carried Every County in the
State on Election Day.

In it's Monday morning edition
the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader presents
a table Of election returns from every
county in the state, and by it shows
the Governor Herried, the republican
candidate for governor, carried every
county, his plurality being placed at
"a, 1872. The democratic candidate
for governor was left entirely out in
the cold. That is pretty unanimous
sort of an election on the governor
ship, and we would not be surprised
if the entire state ticket went the
same way.
There is hardly state in the union
which can show a record equal to
that. 1t was expected that the elec5
ton would be pretty nearly
unanimous but the most sanguine re-
publican did not figure on going the
whole thing

W0RKMEN WIN TAX CASE
Will Not Have to Pay Two Per Cent
to the State as a Tax on Life
Insurance.

The members of the A. o. u. w.
lodge Of this city feel quite good
over the result Of the case brought
to compel the order to pay a tax of
two per cent Of the gross amount
of assessments, and which was won
by the state order. Commissioner
Shober of the state insurance depart
ment in being requested by the Work.
men to issue certlcfate on which
to do business during the present
year declined to do until the order
had paid the back tax, which was
due, according to his Interpretation
Of the law, since 1890. Chapter
SO of the law provides that every
mutual benefit association or insur-
ance company organized or doing
business in the state shall at the
time Of making the annual statement
required by the act, shall pay into
the state treasury as taxes. 2 per
cent of the gross amount of assess
ments received in the state during
the preceding year, and that no
certificate shall be issued until this
feature Of the law is complied with.
There is a provision in the chapter
which absolves all secret, benevolent
or fraternal societies from paying
the tax where sick or death benefits
are paid widows and orphans, heirs
or relatives of deceased members.
Mr.. Shober believed that all
societies should nay the tax or none,
and submitted the question to
Attorney General Pyle, whose de-
cision was to the effect that societies
that paid a death benefit and
issued insurance contracts should
pay the tax. A test case was made
before Judge Smith, of Yankton
county, who decided the case a few
days ago, and the A. o. U. W. won
out on it's PROPOSE tion.
This decision will doubtless release
every fraternal society lin the state
from paying the tax that at first
looked like it would amount to a
large sum of--money during the
course of a year.
Whether the state will carry the
case to the supreme court for a
decision is not known, but it would
appear that the state would try to
make it's law good according to the
attorney general.

Sand Swept Asia.

In the arid lands Of central Asia the
air is reported as often laden with
fine detritus, which drifts like snow
around conspicuous objects and tends
to bury them in dust drift. Even
when there is no apparent wind the air
is described as thick with line dust,
and yellow sediment covers every
thing. In Khotan this dust sometimes
so obscures the sun that at midday
one cannot see to read fine print with
out lamp.

AN AFTERNOON RECEPTION
Mrs. fl. r. Kibbee Opens Her A
tractive Home to Large Num-
ber of Lady Friends

One of the most pleasing social
events Of the season was reception
given by Mrs. II. r. Kibbee Friday
afternoon at her home on LaWler
street. The hours of receiving were
from 2:3O to 5, and the invitation
list comprised 1876 names. The doors

manner.
The guests were received in the
parlor, and with the hostess stood
Mrs. G.. H. Kibbee and Mrs. G. W.

E. Logan, of Waterloo, Iowa. In
the reception hall Mrs. L. Beckwith,
Mrs. A. E. Hitchcock, and Mrs. H.
E. Hitchcock looked after the CON-
fort of the guests. In one corner OF
the room Mrs. J. G.. Mccartney pre-
sided over the punch bowl, in which
she was assisted by Miss Maude Hager
and Grace Beckwith. In the dining
room Mrs. Geo. E. Foster, Mrs. ]. K.
Smith and Mrs. F. M. Hammer served
the guests, and Mrs. S. H. Scallin
poured the coffee. The decorations
in this room were very attractive.

A Choice of Words.
'om the New York Post.

From the New York Post.
 It is an old and now wearsome dispute whether we should say the United States l Is or are, but a new sticlxler for correct ness in the use of our national title has of St. Louis. He observed what he thought to be an omission in the recent speech from the throne, and wrote to ask Prime Minister Balfour> what he meant by leaving out the words "of America" after United States. 'Is is not he asked, recognized that America IS our national designation, North America and South America being the titles of conti- nents? The use of the full title in the case of the United States of Brazil renders ths omission all the more significant" But MT. Balfour is more familiar with tha ways of the makers of kings speeches than our critical American.
 Possibly he had in mind Kinglake's sarcasm about 'fthe qualifying words which correct the imprudences and de- range the grammatical structure of queens speech" Alt any rate, he has a great deal of tact, and he made good use of it in replying that the omission of the words referred to was not intended to be derogatory to your country As if resolved to kill his American correspond ent with compliment he added: "The words United States taken by them- selves, without further qualification. have, with us, reference to the great re- public of which you are citizen. There may be and are other United States, but that is the United States, par ex- cellence."

CATHOLIC LECTURES.
The Rev. Father Younan Explains
 Catholic Practice.

The Rev. Father Youman, the Paulist, continued his lectures at St. Paurs church last night. The rain poured stead fly and the few people who attended en- tered the sacred edifice with their gar- ments dripping. It was the first night sion began, and most of the questions had been deposited in the query box by non-Catholics, were passed over and will be answered tonight Father Younan said that predestination, the Spanish in- quisition, Rome falling into error. the low state of Catholic countries, the papal infallibility. and the primacy of Peter. were important questions and that he would explain and discuss them when the usual audience was present.
 He discoursed on the use of Latin as the language of the liturgy and the sac raments, and several minor topics He asked those persons who thought the language of the church in this country should be in English, what English?- modern English, middle English, old Eng fish, or Anglo-Saxon? Living languages change. The English language changed, the Father said, every hundred years. The meanings of words were undergoing changes all the while. It was obvious then, he said that the liturgy of the church must remain in a dead language.
 The lecture tonight will begin promptly at & o'clock.

But it is within the province of this review to say that whenever the soaring kind of architecture precipitated itself upon the Anglo-Saxon dwelling house there was a tremendous crash and revolution. It was telescoped, 1t was fattened-grotesquely flattened- but still was it remarkable for ingenuity, for cleverness, and, above everything, for novelty, as would be a dwelling house loaned by another planet.

BISHOP ARRESTED
 IN THE COURT ROOM
WAS INDICTED BY THE UNITED STATES GRAND JURY ON A CHARGE OF USING THE MAILS FOR FRAUDULENT PURPOSES.

A NJ Bishop was arrested in the Grim hal court room yesterday morning by Deputy Marshall White. the arrest being made on an indictment returned by the late United States grand jury, the charge being using the mails for fraudulent purposes. Bishop at once made bond in the sum of $500 and was released.
 It is said Bishop was connected with the Continental Security Redemption company, and that the action in sending through the mails the debenture certi- ficates issued by the debenture companies were in the nature of lottery tickets and the use of the mail in delivering them was q violation of the law.
