Ouerido Director:

Entro JUNO el domingo pasado con
un dia esplendido y una temperature
agradabilisina que de ser estacionaria
ftera el mayor merito de este afortuna
do pals; pero las variaciones de esta Ill
TINA 10 hacen tan inconvenience y per-
judicial para la conservation de la sa-
1ud, que los mas apegados a la vida 10
miran con horror como su eterno y
superior enemigo.
Yo me 10 explico, porque las vlctl-
mas que hizo Ell calor que nos sofocaba
ell martes pasado, tai vez habr1an esta-
do gozando ell domingo anterior de las
de1icias de aquel dfa primaveral sin que
cruzara por sus imaginaciones ell rapi-
do camblo que iba tener la tempera-
tura para asfixiarlos Ell ca1or lego a
e5 grades Rehamur que es la escala
aquf usada, y postro a seis individuos
de los que rno sucumbio a los pocos
momentoS
<' Y henos aqui hoy y aver con una
temperature de 70 grades, brisas muy
frescas, y humedad, que hacen a mu-
chos volver sacar la ropa de abrigo y
irritarnos 4 todos la pitaitaria para
estar constante:nente estornudando y
con los ojos lacrimosos. Pero va pue-
de uno estornudar, que no hay alma
que 1e olga "Dios le ayude", pues estos
americanos estan refjdos con esas fra
ses de projimidad, aunque no con la de
"al pr6jimo contra una esquina'
Pero aquf TODD Sc le busca remedio
y ahora, uno de los jefes de Bureau del
TEMPO, Willis L. Moore, nos ha inven-
tado una maquina. que tiene por objeto
Ell sostener las temperatures bajas en-
las habitaciones, y aunque el exagerado
reporterismo lie aquf dice que en- las
pruebas verifcadas, el professor Moore
ha reducido 80 grades una tempera-
tura de 100 grades, 20 ann no 10 he Wis
to y por 10 tanto no meto mi mano en-
candela por la efcacia del aparato.
Y vamos a otroS asuntos.

towns as follows: Armour, June IL,

Each of these towns have agreed
to put up the following purses and
track events: Three -year-old trot or

$3.50; 2:27 trot, $3.50; 2 % trot and ? :1s

Good purses have been put up
throughout the circuit with the idea
that better horses will be attracted
to the first meeting and that they
will follow through the circuit. Here
tofore it has been difficult matter
to get many outside horses with low
records to come to the central part
of the state as there were not enough
race meets to justify the owners Of
going to the expense of coming out
here.

before the season gets started that
something can be accomplished along
this line to get more people interest

Supt. Durkee Of Hanson county
has accepted the invitation from
Dawson county, inviting all of the
schools in his county to join in the
school picnic May 81. Remember the
picnic is Saturday of next week.
The city teachers and their pupils
have been invited, also the faculty
and students of Dakota University.
Tobin No. Is was visited again last
week. This is the first school visited
in the county where the teacher was
demanding a logical written analysis
by the pupils Of their problems in
arithmetic.
Certificates of award have been
issued to Enrol and Una Moses, Clyde
and Harry Nixon, Albin Paulson,
Edna Daniels and Elizabeth Moses
the latter, two; Miss Vida Shane,
teacher. During the two years that
Miss Shane taught at Emsley, she
held several entertainments from
which she realized enough funds to
buy new organ for the school--thus
the community, by attending these
gatherings, have paid for, the organ
without scarcely realizing the ex-
penditure.
The petition for issuing bonds
with which to build new school
house in Prosper twp, has been
dropped.
In last weeks issue of the Mitch

has been faithful member of oul

Alderman and Mrs. Joseph Koch,
and Mr.. Ellsworth Halfhill. AS the
strains Of the wedding march were
sounded. forth the bridal party en-
tered the church and was accom-
panied by Jacob and Miss Gertie
Koch, cousins of the bride. and
who acted as best man and brides
laid. They were met at the altar
and the Mass service was given by
Very K R5verend Dean Shea in the
presence of the relatives of the con-
tracing parties and few friends.
The bride. was dressed in a gown
of tan colored satin and carried q
bouquet Of white roses. At the cor
clusion Of the ceremony the newly
welded couple returned to the brides
home. Both are young people who
are we'll known in the city and are
highly respected. Their many friends
will be pleased to extend their con-
gratulat,tns rs over their wedding.
This evening a reception will be
rendered the bridal couple at the
home OF the brides parents on
Hanson street.
Mr. and Mrs. Halfhill will make
their home in rooms over the resi-
dence located two doors north Of the
corn palace building.
This afternoon at o'clock we'd
ding ceremony was performed at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Greg
ory which united their daughter,
Miss Florence, to Mr.. Fred L.
Tiffany, son of Mr.. and Mrs. d. M.
Tiffany. None were present at the
wedding but the relatives OF the con-
tracting parties. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. D. R. Tomlin, Of
the Congregational church, and was
very quiet affair.
The bride is one Of Mitchell's most
accomplished daughters and times
without number has her sweet musi-
cal voice brought pleasure to the
hearts of those who have enjoyed her
singing. She is an exceedingly tai
ented young artist in singing and she
is lady who has won the esteem
and friendship Of large number Of
people. She has grown from a girl
to mature womanhood and surround
ing her is a sweet graceful dignity
that won her so many warm friends.
Her departure from Mitchell will be
generally regretted, but hundreds
of wishes will follow her that in her
welded life nothing but the suprem-
est happiness may come to her and
her husband. Mr.. Tiffany is a resi-
dent Of Selby, where he recently To-
Gated for the practice of law, in
which he has every opportunity to
rise to a high place in his profession.
The newly welded couple departed
on the north Milwaukee this after
noon for their. new home.

GETS A SOLDIERS HOME
National Sanitarium Bill Passed the
House Locating the Home at
Hot Springs.

Mayor Geo. A. Silsby received a
telegram this morning from Congress
man Burke at Washington stating
that the Hot Springs sanitarium bill
passed the house yesterday afternoon,
carrying with it an appropriation of
$150,OOO.
For number of years a bill has
been pending before congress to To-
cate a national soldiers home at Hot
Springs, but it always had an east
ern influence to overcome that was
too strong. The South Dakota dele
CATION has been working for its sue
cess unitedly and the information
that Congressman Burke sends out
is indeed welcome news. Mayor
Silsby and others from this state
have made frequent trips to Wash
ington in the interests OF the bill
and they, too, will feel gratifed
that it has passed. The bill went
through the senate four times, but
it had a harder time in the house.
The bill is now ready to be signed
by the president, who has no opposi-
tion to its passage.
The home also includes sanitari-
um which will place it on broader
scope than an ordinary home, as SOL
diers of the regular army will be sent
to the sanitarium for the treatment
of any disease. There will be great
rejoicing at Hot Springs now that
the home has been practically located
there.
