LOOK FOR TRACK MEET.
Athletic Team at University Expect
TO Meet Several Good Teams
BEFORE State Contest.

Tie indications are that people Of
an athletic turn Of mind and who en-
JOY the sport to great extent will
have the pleasure of witnessing per-
haps two big events this spring be-
fore the University team goes to
Huron to participate in the inter
collegiate contest the last week in
May. Arrangements are being made
for Mitchell to meet Drake Univer-
sity of Iowa, and they have been
practically concluded, the contention
being where the teams will meet.
If the University feels that it can
get sufficient support from the town
people the teams will meet in this
city about May 3. If not the meet
will very likely he pulled off at Sioux
City. 1t should be understood that
when Mitchell meets Drake Universi-
ty that she is up against a pretty
hard proposition and that the victor
les they win will be earned in every
sense of the word. ~
1t is probable that Mitchell will al
SO play the Y. M. G. A. team of
Sioux City some time in May, as
negotiations are being made for that
purpose now. Sioux City defeated
the Vermillion team several weeks
ago and by this it can be reckoned
that Sioux City is very strong.
Coach Cropp has his athletes on the
track every afternoon at. the present
time and training will be kept all
the season until the athletic meet is
held at Huron. There will be some
new faces doubtless onthe team this
year, for the coach istrying out some
new men who entered the University
last fall and they are making remark
ably good records in their trials.
The list OF athletes will doubtless be
larger than last year and so much will
not be placed on one man. Hardy
will be missed from the group OF
athletes this season, as he has not
been out for practice and will not
enter any of the lists. He is the rep.
resentatiye of the University in the
oratorical contest and will have nc
time to. devote to athletics while
working on his effort for the big
contest in ,oratory, and there is a
strong feeling over at the University
that the young man will bring the
cup home with him this year.

In Memori:anl.

Died, at the home Of her parents,
near Mitchell, April 2, 1902, Bertha,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
Hunt, in the sixteenth year of her
age. Bertha was born and reared in
the town Of Gratiot, Wis. Two
years ago she came with her parents
to South Dakota Her remains were
accompanied by her brother, John,
and were taken to Shellsburg, Wis.
for interment, and were laid beside
the loved ones who had preceded her
to the better land.
The respect and love in which she
was held was demonstrated by the
beautiful floral offerings that were
sent by loving friends. and also by
the large attendance at the funeral
services held at the Catholic church
last Friday morning, the services
being conducted by Father Shea.
God in His wisdom saw fit to take
His pure one from earth to His home
on high where we know she is dwell
ling with the angels in that land
which knows no pain or sorrow. She
leaves to mourn her loss, besides hel
parents. one brother and three sis.

Society at Waterloo, Iowa.

The Waterloo, Iowa, Daily Courier,
gives an interesting account OF a So
cial function in which several Mitch
ell ladies were represented. The fol-
lowing is taken from that paper of
Wednesday, April ?:
s. K. of P. hall was very gay yester-
day afternoon, being the social mecca
of three hundred, ladies who were
received by Mrs. j. ID. Caldwell, Mrs.
George Logan, Mrs. George B. Miller,
and Mrs. Richard Murphy, assisted
by Mrs. Geo. A. Johnston, of Mitch
ell, South Dakota. The hours were
from 2 80 until half after four, and
during that time the: hall was
,thronged and each guest seemed to
feel the informal charm of the oc-
casion as well as the inspiration OF
the attractive surroundings and So
cial environment. The hall looked
especially attractive, and was an
ideal back ground for the scores OF
pretty Easter gowns and headgear.
Mrs. Charles Cobb introduced the
guests as they arrived to the receiv-
ing committee, who stood in the cen
ter Of the large hall, and the feature
was a pleasant innovation. The hall
was made to look cozy and inviting
by the addition Of rugs, pillows and
cozy corners, while the floral decora-
tions consisted of large table center
piece of pink roses and a profusion OF
tall palms placed in artistic evidence.
The dining room, with its pink
and white floral effects, looked ex-
ceedingly attractive. Small tables
with covers for four at each were
used for the convenience of the
guests during the serving OF refresh
ments. Each table was decorated by
a tall center vase of pink and white
carnations and ferns, at the base OF
which was wreath of smilax, and
the ensemble effect Of the table dec
orations was most, elaborate.
F In the small reception room were
placed ferns, and here the Dol Re
Taw orchestra played during the af.
ternOon hours.
Dainty little favors were giver
the guests by Florence Lichty and
Gwynethe Logan.

Of hunger until the morning meal.
Then came the carpet rag sewing
contest in which there were num-
Der of entries of gentlemen who
thought they had the science down
to fine point. The frantic efforts
of the participants to keep the
needle in the cloth and out of their
flesh was laughable. Harry Shep-
herd beat out the bunch by, sewing
the greatest amount of rags in the
neatest manner in the given time,
and none were inclined to chew the
rags they had left over the decision.
A prize was also awarded for the
neatest looking calico dress worn by
a lady. There were so many pretty
dresses in the room that it was hard
for the judges to decide which ap-
pealed the strongest to their taste.
The ladies lined up in marching
order and passed around the room
several times in order that the fine
points OF the calico creations might be
seen to the best advantage and the
judges finally awarded the first prize
to Miss Mary LikO and the second to
Miss Johanna Grace.
The calico carnival was splendid
success from beginning to end and the
ladies are to be congratulated on the
pleasure they contributed to their
many friends both inside and outside
of their order.

THE LARDNER RECITAL.
A Splendid Success and Listened t,
by Large Crowd Who Appre-
ciate His Worth.

There was a fine audience gathered
at the Methodist church Friday even
ing to hear the elocuticn recital by
Prof Lardner, of the oratorical de-
partment of the University. His tai
ents in the direction Of Evolutionary
work have long been known but it
was only recently that he permitted
himself to be drawn on the platform
in this city, and the people who
have heard him are free to say that
his work is equally .meritorious as any
artistssin the same line who has ap-
peared in Mitchell and in some cases
superior.
The program was opened with a Sc
lection by the male quartet.
The first number given was s.The
Great Grey Ships" a poem of the
close of the civil war. He then gave
"Old Glory by Riley, and these
two were followed in succession by
other splendid selections during the
evenings program. The numbers
given by Prof. Lardner showed that
his powers were not limited to any
one or two lines of elocution work,
but took in the many parts of the art.
In all of these, dialect and comedy,
he was good. A voice that3is pleas
ant, soft and sympathetic in the deli
cate passages, strong, powerful, in
the heavier selections. He has a
keen insight into the authors idea
and by his portrayal makes the story
all the prettier from this standpoint.
Prof. Lardner was assisted on the
program by Miss Myrtle Lee and Miss
Florence Gregory, each of whom sang
soprano solo. Mr.. Fred Kratz also
contributed to the musical features
by singing a baritone solo. The
three soloists did themselves full ere.
dit and their singing was very much
appreciated. ss e-r

A CALICO CARNIVAL.
Degree of Honor Ladies Prepared {
Pleasant Evening for a Big
Crowd OF People.

Calico was a very popular article of
wearing apparel at the carnival given
by the ladies Of the Degree of Honor
Friday evening, and which was held
In Workman hall. So many pleasing
entertainments have been given by
this enterprising branch of the A.
0. U. w. that it is no trouble to
draw crowd to the hall sufficiently
large as to crowd the room. This
|.calico carnival was no exception to
the general rule, for the room was
crowded with young and old and mid
die aged. Women had hunted in the
dry good stores during the early part
Of the week for calico and the latter
part they spent in transforming the
goods into an attractive party gown.
The scene of calico colors was electri-
flying as the wearers of the plebian
ermine fitted hither and thither in
their efforts to carry out the program
Of the evening. Every gentleman
who arrived at the gathering any
where near on time was provided
with calico necktie, and his 10Y was
complete.
Tie ladies had made a large num-
Der of calico articles that We're put up
dU ducUlOn anu Unere was considerable
merriment exhibited in the efforts to
get hold of some particularly desira-
BILE piece of calico. This feature
alone netted the promoters of the
affair a very good sum OF money.
| A program Of literary and musical
numbers was given that was very en-
tertaining, and was participated in
by Leitha Paulin, Ethel Tobin, Mil
dred Wilkinson, George Whyte, Ella
Reed, Rachel Whyte, Fern Hamil
and Rosie Clark. Miss Elsner, of the
University, gave dialect number
which was heartily applauded and
this was followed by a delsarte exer-
Icise given by four members Of Miss
Elsner,s class. The young ladies were
very graceful and went through witt
the drill in charming manner. The
choruses and dialogues given by the
young boys and girls were also gooc

Was Not a Candidate.

The use of my name as a candidate
for member Of city council in First
ward was unauthorized ] was not
a candidate and permission for the
use OF my name was not given, and ]
did not know that it was used until
nearly "a hours after the caucus was
held.
The fact that Prof. Stout Of the
University is a member of the coun.
Gil and that ] am officially con.
nected with the colleges should ot
itself prohibit my candidacy for aid,
erman. 1t would be manifestly un.
air for the college and the South
side to so monopolize tine representa-.
tion of the First ward.
