was surprised beyond expression when
the young man presented his bride of
a few hours. However, he gave them
his blessing and then listened to
the details of the hurried wedding,
The bride is the daughter Of Ed
Johnson, Of Armour, who is recog-
niZed as one Of the wealthiest men
in the state, and it was the inten-
ton of the parents to spend the
winter in California and take their
daughter with them. This did not

ed to make it impossible by getting
married. They got the assistance OF
Mr.. Cliggett and Miss Hozyos, who
expected to be married at Mitchell
during the corn palace, to hurry up
their nuptials, and they all started
for Spirit Lake on the Sunday eXcur-
sion. When they reached Alexandria
the quartet got off the train and
had a double weddiny. MI and
Mrs. Johnson hadn't the slightest
objection to the union, but they
wanted Fred to wait until he was

Fred was Of age Saturday and the

Mr.. Adams is the manager OF the
Floete Lumber Co. at Armour, and
is a young man who is well and thor

THE TEACHERS ORGANIZE
Jerauld County Teachers Decline to
Work for Such Low Wages
as Have Been Paid.

One Of the latest union ~orpaniza-
lions reported In this state is that of
the school teachers in Jerauld county.
The young ladies have formed a union
and have agreed not to teach in that
county for less than $40 per month
for first and second grade certificates
and 1876 per month for third grade.
The plan is not bad for the young la
dies and it looks reasonable enough
that they ought to have enough mon
ey on which to live. The average
country school teacher in years past
has been very poorly paid, in fact
the salary was not at all commensur-
ate with the work Of the teachers
to tit themselves for teaching. But
it appears that the teachers are wax
ing up The district school officers to
the fact that if they are going to
run their schools they will have to
pay better wages than in the past1
And the young women are right.
Several townships in this county
have taken the step to pay higher
wages-that is wages which will be
the means of.paying a young--woman
for devoting her time to the bust
ness. The Jerauld county ladies will
decline to teach if they do not re-
ceive the salaries asked for.

THE CHICKEN SEASON
1t Opened Tuesday for a Season of
What is Anticipated Will be
One Of Rare Sport.

The crack of the shotgun in the
hands Of the hunter was heard
pretty early Tuesday morning, the
day the game law for prairie chickens
opened. Parties who have been GU t
training their dogs say that chickens
are abundant this season and with
the wet weather which has prevailed
that the sport ought to be the best
in years. The dogs are able to work
better in this kind of weather. The
birds are said to be quite lively,
which will make the hunting all the
better.
There is one thing that hunters
will have to recognize a little closely
this season, and that is the signs
which are placed in many parts Of
the county warning them to keep off
the land so designated. In years
past so little regard has been paid to
the rights OF the owners Of farms
that they have come to the conclu-
sion that the best way to protect
their property is to keep all hunters
Off. In some townships the board
has published notices warning hunt
ers to keep out Of the township.

.0FF OF MAIN STREET
Ordinance Introduced in Council Estab-
fishing Certain Places for Hacks
and Trays TO Stand.
THO Couples Of Young People From
Armour Came up on Sunday Bz-
CDrSion and Got Married.
Hunters liked Out in the Country on
Tuesday Morning to Hunt the
Festive Prairie Chicken.
HACK AND DRAY STANDS
Given a Specified Location in Which
to Stand While Not Engaged
in Business.

a special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held Saturday evening, which
was presided over by President Han
nett in the absence of Mayor Silbsy.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose to meet with Architect Dow, Of
Sioux Falls, for a conference on some
matters pertaining to the city hall
building. The architect failed to
arrive, however.
The %hitching posts near the corners
of Second and Third streets ap-
preaching Main street, were a sub
ject for discussion concerning their
removal to a location where they
would be less objectionable. At
times a team and a wagon will be
hitched to these posts that will ex-
tend half way into the street and
with another team and wagon on
the other side of the street stand
ing in about the same position makes
the street practically impossible. To
avoid this congested condition, which
occurs too frequently, a resolution
was adopted authorizing the street
and alley committee to move the
hitching posts to some other location.
just where it will be is a matter Of
conjecture. There was some talk of
placing them over on haymarket
square and then again Of putting
them on some vacant ground a half
block west of Main street on Railroad
street.
A e ordinance was introduced
and placed on It's first reading which
will govern the location of hacks and
drays when not engaged in traffic on
the streets. Heretofore they have
been permitted to stand on Main
street at any point and the council
members have the idea that if they
were kept off the main thoroughfare
when not engaged in their calling
that the street can be kept much
cleaner. The resolution requires that
all hacks shall stand on the south
side Of Second. street, between Main
and Lawler streets, when not engaged
in their work. All drays are required
to stand on the west side of Lawler
street between Second and Third
streets when not engaged in their
business. This ordinance will doubt
lessly be passed on it's second reading
at the regular meeting, which will
be held on Monday evening of next
week.
The council met Monday for a
short time with Architect Dow and
the plan for heating the city hall
building and the Manipulating was
thoroughly discussed.

FRIDAY NIGHT CONCERT

stration in approval Of the numbers
that were rendered. Levi Tillotson,

guire, who were on the program, were
unable to appear. The accompanists
for the singers were Miss Goody-
koontz, Mrs. M. N. Lee, Miss Mary
Preston and A. F. LeClaire. Each
person on the program acquitted him
self or herself very acceptatIy and in
several instances encores we're de-
manded, Mr.. Brown, Miss Lee and
Miss Tillotson responding. 4Mitchell's
talent when called on can give a very.
enjoyable evening of music and this
occasion proved as entertaining as
any that have been given in the past.

Major Dent a inner,

Albert a. Boynton received good
from his pacing horse: Major
Dent. and his work in the 2:35 pace
at Sioux City Monday. The Major
won second money in a purse Of $500.
The best heat was paced in 2:12L,
and it is evident that the Major was
going some to get second in the race.
The horse has not received a mark
this season, but has won second and
third money right along in good
races. Mr.. Boynton is not at all de-
sirous of giving his PAGER a record
this year.

PLAY TWENTY CONCERTS
Banda Rosa Will Be Heard Many
Times During the Engagement
at Corn Palace.

S%orrentinO and his famous Banda
Rosa, best of European bands and
the only foreign band which has had
the courage to follow Sousa into his
own land, will appear at the corn
palace in Mitchell, Sept. % to Oct. 1.
This reference to the two band
masters in the same paragraph is not
so far-ferched as some critical folk
may imagine. S%orrentino is to his
native land what Sousa is to the
United States. Both have been
called "march kings'' and both have
written stirring march melodies.
The Italian band presents pictur-
esque appearance. The musicians
wear red tunics and caps, literally
decorated with gold braid, and not a
few Of them medals awarded in
competitions in their own sunny
Italy. TO the blind the music of
the cornet, OF trumpet, as it is
called abroad, invariably suggests
red, and as the Banda Rosa has a
among its members several cele-
brated trumpeters, an Eastern critic,
in reviewing one Of the concerts,
wrote that even the bands uniform
harmoniZed with It's music.
The playing of this band grows
upon the people, who return again
and again to enjoy it's witchery.
Ibis has been true Of every engage
ment that the band has played IN
this country. There is something be-
sides mere dash and spirit in the way
these music-loving Italians interpret
the compositions of their great
countrymen. Any Well-trained band
can play with dash and spirit, but
the soul may be lacking the feeling
which it is given only to the true
musician TO express. Music thus in
terpreted takes on d thousand new
meanings for the nearer, new shades
OF thought and suggestion. This
charm Of the Banda Rossa's music,
while it quite defes analysis, is a
very real and tangible quantity.

HE IS A ROYAL MAIL MAN.
General Castleman Will Drive Coach
 and Four.

Harpers weekly.
 General John B. Castleman of Pleasant
 Hill, Ky, has secured the contract as rural mall carrier between that place and Burgin. General Castleman will car " the mail in a coach and four, with outriders and truIapeter, all in gorgeous scarlet coats. The example Is one which might we'll be followed by rich young men over the country who have been trying to establish regular coaching routes through the picturesque scenery of the rural district. These coaching routes have not proved more successful because they had no regular and useful object. Let them now take on govern ment contracts as rural mail-carriers, and that difficulty will be done away with. What could more pleasantly interrupt the monotony of a coaching trip than to rein in the panting. piebald chargers at each fat, red farm house, while the man in scarlet winds his horn and waits while the barefoot boy runs down the dewy lane tn get the last copy of the eekly Countryman and the regular letter from big brother Tom in the city. Such a regular duty would lend a certain digni. ty to coaching which Is now lacking. The rich young coachmen might we'll feel. also, thrill of patriotic pride at the thought that, in one way at least, they were serving their country. And my lady on the box would find plenty of ad- ded opportunities to study the habits and customs-to say nothing of the postal cards-of her humber countrymen.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
lHEAvY DECLINE AT OPENING
 OF TRADING.
Early Weakness Due to Active Liquidations of Long Accounts.
 At the Close Prices are off @ to iH Points.

NEW YORK Jan. 5.-Ths cotton market opened unsettled at a decline of 66l points After the flrst sales a few Of the more active mopths declined a point or two further. The early weakness was due to active liquidation of, long accounts following statement by the former leader of the bull faction indicating a change of front with reasons given for lower prices. All the cotton thus offered. however, was soon absoE bed with decided recuperation at Liverpool, where the market had declined rapidly under the game pressure. and with the weather in thepsouth poor and with The receipts small the local market made e quick recovery of 5@io pola1s which was the basis of trading ct non when the Census Bureau is- sued Q statement indicating that up to and tncluding Dee. 3 aetI .S35 bales of cotton had been ginned. and that l,bsz.Y7l bales re- mained to be Eirnsd together 10, s6o. sos. The details of the report Sh1wed that large proportion of round bales reduced the actual nniabsr of regulatian bales to something under

But the high statistical position of cotton remains strong and knowing the bull character of the Census rdeport showing very active selling movement set in during the afternoon largely for short account the ground that all bull ish factors had been discounted in the late advance. The market was finally barely steady at net decline of 9@i5 points, the final
 figures being the lowest of the session. Total sales estimated at 600. 900 bales.
