Fashionable Even, Of the season

The Reno Novelty Company is
coming to Milbank Wednesday,
April End. The event will be
one long to be remembered by
all who attend. Reno is certain
ly wonderful magician, he has
no superiors and few equals.
The Pitts burg News says, "Prof.
Reno and his novelty company at
the Fifth Avenue theatre last
week was the fashionable event
of the season. On Thursday
night seats sold at a premium.
Reno is equal to the old original
Herman. The above is the
voice of the entire press of the
country, wherever the company
has appeared. No money nor
time has been spared to make
the company one of the best on
the road and the patrons can cer-
tainly be promised great treat
in the amusement line. In con-
junction with Reno's beautiful
work many specialties are intro
duced among which is Mr.. Wade,
the marvellous juggler, who was
the talk of New York City. One
would think it impossible to do
with a pair of hands what this
great artist accomplishes, he is
rightly termed the "emperor of
jugglers. Also the world re-
nowned school of trained dogs
and birds that never fail to please
both old and young. All in all
the entire program is one of
beauty and completeness. Don't
forget the date, Wednesday even
ing, April End. Seats on sale at
the usual place.

A Thriving and Succcssful En-.
terprise.

The Milbank house of the Red
Wing Butter & Egg Co. under
management of E. S. Pullen, has
been compelled by it's increasing
business TO secure more room at
the round house, and is now
occupying the whole east end of
that building, something like
5000 square feet, which is being
fitted up into convenient and
com modious apartments for the
different branches of the work.
A fine cold storage room is
being partitioned off, new pack
ing room has also been added,
where steam and water will later
be piped, and portion of the
room has been made with open
floor for convenience in soaking
and washing the barrels. A
store room and work room,
where the material for putting
the cases together is stored and
nailed into boxes, has also been
partitioned off, and is stored
with the knock down material,
which is purchased and shipped
here in carload lots. There is
also room for an ice house, which
Mr.. Pullen expects to have COM
pleted in the near future, which
will be a great convenience in
shipping, as it will be close to
the track which enters the
building and upon which cars
are loaded and unloaded. Mr..
Pullen thinks he will have one of
the most commodious and con-
venient produce houses in the
country, when his present plans
are completed and the extensive
business which he is doing, with
a greater growth in sight, more
than warrants the improvements.
He has from ten to fifteen hands,
men and boys employed great
er part of the time. and this
makes very desirable industry
for our city. The shipments of
butter will average carload
every two weeks, and in the busy
season with eggs the carload
shipments are made every other
day. An idea of the amount of
stuff handled will be cleaned
from the fact that a carload of
butter averages 10000 lbs, and
a carload of eggs runs from 455
to 475 cases. During the proper
season Mr.. Pullen also buys live
poultry, dressing and shipping
the same in large quantities, and
this part of the business has de-
veloped into an important feature
and helps to keep up a profit
able market for poultry. The
company has seven other houses
in the northwest, three of which
are in South Dakota, but it is
doubtful if any one of them does
more successful business than
the Milbank branch.

August Mittelstaedt and DR..
Ross returned the first of the
week from a "Trip to Mexico.
They spent several weeks there.
and while enjoying the trip, which
they say they would not have mis-
sed for several times the expense
incurred, they have no desire
to emigrate to Mexico and make
their home in that country. The
few Americans or "white people"
there have a hard time of it,
particularly since the bottom fell
out Of the coffee market, for at
present prices the coffee crop
does not pay for picking. The
native help is of the most un-
reliable character, living in a
hand to mouth way, receiving
and spending their wages before
earning. it, and thus placing
themselves in the condition of
a virtual slavery to the planters,
who are compelled to bribe and
fee the officers to capture the
runaways and secure their re
turn. The native workers re-
ceive from 75cts to 1925 a day,
Mexican money, which has little
less than half the value of
American money, while every
thing that would be considered
a necessity in an American
family costs three and four
times as much as in this country.
Canned goods sold here for 20
and Csc, brings $1.25; a broom
which sells here for Csc or 35c.
sells for ST. so; flour So. so a cwt.;
sugar 20c a h., kerosene CSC a
gallon, and a good lamp chimney
$1.1O; bar of Ivory soap $1.O0,
and the Douglas shoe which sells
all over the United Statefor So. SO,
costs in Mexico $500. It will
be remem bered that Mexico is a
free silver country and it was to
a banquet of this kind that our
populist friends invited US to
sit down and sup with William ] /.
Bryan as toast master a short
time ago. Surely the American
people have had happy deliver
ence from a blunder of that kind.
The climate is very mild in
Mexico, and happily the people
need but little clothing, and the
returned travellers say they wear
but little, the native boys and
girls in the interior Of the
country going about until 10 or
12 years of age with the same
kind of a costume as our first
parents wore in the garden OF
eden. But little money is in
circulation, and about the only
persons who are making
money are the promoters of en-.
erprises who are selling stock tc
Americans and other foreigners
who are making investments.
Messrs. Mittelstaedt and Ross
had quite a visit with G.. M
Clark and Dan Parkhurst, form.
er Grant county people who are

money in it, and is now in the

John Erlardson, the stone
mason, met with quite serious
accident last Saturday. While
at work repairing the chimney

the wall of the building, he made
mistep and fell to the roof of
the Masonic building a distance
of some four feet, and striking
on his shoulder he was knocked
insensible. He was taken into
DR.. Kriesel's Office, and upon ex-
animation the doctor found the
left shoulder dislocated and a
fracture of the neck bone. Mr..
Erlandson was in quite a bad
condition for several days, but is
now improving and is able to be
out, but not able to use his arm.
