FOR HIS HOME TOWN
Senator Branson Finds q Willing Ear
at sioux City and Talks tor
Mitchell,

senator BranSOn was in Sioux City
over Sunday and while there he got
next to the willing ear of a reporter
OF the Sioux City journal, and he
confided to that individual a few
things that Mitchell hopes to acquire
and some of the things she has al
ready got. The Journal man didn't
do a thing but publish what the
senator said, ..and here.it is.
Senator o. L. 3ranson. of Mitch
ell, S. d.. who led the fight In the
South Dakota legislature To secure
the passage of the Capital removal
resolution, with a view to ultimately
landing the capital OF the State at.
Mitchell, was a visitor in Sioux City
yesterday.
Mr.. Branson is president OF ..thn
First National bank, OF Mitchell, AN
one Of the leading citizens OF the
state. He Is a brother-in-law OF FREQ
a.. Bennett, president OF. the PEOPLES
Savings bank, Of Sioux City.
1.-THE people -.of Mitchell are con
fident,n Senator Branson said, that
the election will result in Mitchell
being selected for the capital. Red
field, and Huron, which were with
Mitchell in the agreement to secure
the passage of the removal resolution.
are standing by their pledge and will
support Mitchell for the honor in the
election. Sioux Falls stood nobly by
US also,..and she-is doing it yet.
Mitchell has the geographical 10
cation. as well as the railroad facili-
ties, and no town in the State has a
more promising future. Conditions
are favorable for a continued and
permanent development Of the place.
partly due to local prosperity and
natural advancement and partly in
anticipation of the coming OF the
capital a number Of notable improve
ments are now being made in the
town. Work is to e started soon upon
our magnificent stone and brick city
hall. to cost S35. 600. which it is pro-
posed to permit the legislature to
occupy until the state can erect a
capital building OF its own. That is
only q Of the many improvements.
One difficulty which we are experience
ing is that wescannot get the mechan-
les needed for the extensiye-bulld-
ing enterprises which are in progress.
Labor is aWfully scarce in our part of
the state and good wages are offered,
too. a new ~postoffice building is be-
Ing erected at present and anew
four-story hotel is being built by
Frederick Widmann. This hotel is to
be similar to the Cataract at Sioux
Falls. A icy fruit jobbing house
is being built, to be occupied by the
Mitchell Fruit company. Our new
Carnegie library building has been
completed and is a credit not only to
the town, but to the state. Many
residences are also in course OF con-
struction or are planned.n
Senator Branson said the state
bankers organization OF South Dako-
ia would meet.in Mitchell in May,
anG he had extended AN Invitation
to Gov Cnmmins, Of Iowa, to.be
present at the convention. The
governor had informed him he would
let him know by April 1 whether or.
not it would be possible for him to
accept the.inyitation.

MARRIED OVER AGAIN
Oliver Harvell and Wire. Once Di-
vorced. Decide to Marry and
Try Married Life Again.

st. Paul Globe, "a: Oliver,,R. Har-
veil, a machinist now working at
Mitchell, S. d.. secured a license and
was married by Court Commissioner
Gallick to May A. Harvell, a. woman
TO whom he had been married once
before. The couple was divorced in
Minneapolis four years G and had
not seen each other since the divorce
trial until they met at the Union
station in st. Paul yesterday. Mutual
friends had been successful in reunit-
ing the couple and the license was
secured in st. Paul for the purpose Of
escaping the publicity or securing a
license in Minneapolis, where both
parties have relatives and friends.
Ilne couple were first married in
1896 and lived in Minneapolis until
1899, when Mrs. Harvell secured a
divorce. After that Harvell went to
Mitchell, S. D., and his divorced
wife went to live with relatives in
omaha. Some months ago friends
OF the couple sought to effect a re-
Cancellation and were successful.
HaTvell wrote to his former wife,
telling her to meet him here, and a
telegram announced that she would
reach here on the North Western
yesterday morning. Haryell met her
at the station with a carriage and
escorted her to a hotel. During tie
afternoon they went to the court
house and were married, after which
they went to Minneapolis TO surprise
their relatives.
keep 1t cut OF the papers, said
Harvell to the reporters after the
wedding ceremony had been perform
cd. There are a lot Of people in
Minneapolis that I wouldn't have get
onto this for anything; that's the
reason We got married in st. Paul.
Yes, / guess we'll get along all right
this time; we are both older than we
were the first time we were married
and have better sense.n
The wedding party, made up of the
principals and two intimate mutual
friends deigned not to ride in street
cars and a carriage, which was in
waiting at the Wabasha street en-
trance Of the court house conveyed
them to Minneapolis:
Mr.. and Mrs. Harvell arrived in the
city the day after their marriage and
were heartily welcomed by the friends
Mr.. Harvell has made since his resi-
dence in Mitchell. Mr.. Harvell is a
machinist and is employed in the
Milwaukee round house. Their
friends will hope that their second
marriage will result in a much
happier situation for them than
the first.

The lodge session was held in the
opera house, where there was more
room for the work than in the hall.
There were nineteen members taken
into the new lodge, and had it not
been for the threatening weather the
number would have been larger as
there were many who were coming in
from the country. The charter list
will be left open fer new names until
May list. At midnight the work was
suspended while the good ladies OF.
Mt. Vernon prepared a most eXcell-
ent supper, and this was greatly
relished by the visitors. The Mt.
Vernon people were well pleased with
the manner in which the degree
team of Mitchell performed its work..
and there are few in the state that
can equal the Degree of Honor ladies
in this respect. There was an ener-
getic set Of officers elected to preside
over the lodge and they will do every
thing in their power to increase its
membership. Mrs. c. c. Fitch was
elected the first chief of honor, and
Mrs. E. o. McEwen was made the
past chief Of honor. The Mitchell
ladies' returned home Thurs. morning,
well pleased with their trip and
the good lodge they assisted in organ
Izing.

THEIR ANNUAL MEETING.
Members OF Presbyterian Church
Held Annual Business Meet
ing Wednesday.

The annual business and socia
meeting Of the Presbyterian church
was held in the church building
Wednesday evening. There was
good attendance of the members o
the church and congregation. Mr.
B. s. Barnard, one Of the elders Of
the church, acted as chairman of The
meeting. The pastor led the de.
votional exercises, and referred ir
the kindliest terms to his pleasant
relationship with the members OF
the church and congregation. He
also spoke Of the present and pros
porous condition of the church. Not
withstanding the fact that a large
number OF the members of the church
have moved to other states. the
present membership is the largest on
record during his pastorate. Nine
teen members were received during
the last church year, and the Sunday
school has greatly increased and is
in splendid condition. Encouraging
reports were read OF the different
branches Of the work, and the church
enters another year free from finan-
cial obligation. The following is a
part of the report from the facile
pen of the secretary Of Ladies' Aid
Society: THE illustrious author and
critic, John Ruskin, says, Our facul-
ties are paralyzed by the abundance
of certain things and we cease to en-
JOY as we would a rarity So it is
the little morsel, the rarity, we have
sought tonight, a minute report.
Our months OF work do not embrace
the twelve. For a time half the
quorum Of officers we're off to other
chimes, and the faithful standbys de-
cided for the usual vacation through
out the heated term. Our pastors
call and acceptance to Sault st.
Marie, Mich, vas a surprise to us.
We will miss his occasional visits to
our meetings, and his special invita-
lions when refreshments are served.
AS there is always a sadness in tie
severing Of pastor and people, so it is
with US, we are no exception. 1t is
our true desire that wherever the
his flock, his earnest
efforts may be blessed, and that he
may receive his reward in that realm
of realms, where changes never come,
and the King Of kings presides for
ever.' After the business of the
meeting was concluded, refreshments
were served by the ladies, and a plea
time enjoyed by all. Tie work
of this church has been done in a
quiet, transformations manner, show
ing splendid results, with every pros.
pect of a bright future.

The officer at the time had his hands

IF all the men have been at it like

Il have taken quite a fancy to the

NO LIGHTS
TO SPARE
Why the Petitioners Of
Diamond Head Must
Wait a While.

With regard to the petition of Judg
Dole, Samuel Parker, II. Holmes an
Henry Il. Highton to the Superintend
ent of Public Works, praying for cleo
trio lights in the Diamond Head sec
ton. the following communication wa
given out yesterday by Governor Car
ter:
Department OF Public Works, Homo.
lulu, 4. H., December Gath. 1903.
,, Hon. Geo. r. Carter, Governor, Ter.
ritory of Hawaii.
Sir: AS the request for the installa-
ton OF three electric lights around the
base of Diamond Head was made to
| this Department in the form of a petit
| ton, signed by several prominent citi-
| zens, 1t seems to me that 1t would be
| advisable to reply to same through the
newspapers.
Urgent necessity for additional cleo
trio lights beyond the termination OF
the Honolulu Rapid Transit & Land
Company,s line on the Waikiki road, as
well as in many other districts of Ho-
nolulu is fully appreciated by this De-
partment, but at the present time the
generators located at the Nuuanu val
ley station are operated to their fullest
capacity and some of them are over
loaded at all times, and we are also
renting extra current for arc and in =.
candescent lights at monthly expense
of approximately $780,
The Nuuanu electric power plant con-
sists of a number of small units which
have been added from time to time as
required, and if these We're replaced by
one larger generator, the efficiency of
the station would be greatly increas-
ed, and with further development Of
the water power, which could be done
at slight expense, this station would
have ample capacity to furnish cur
rent for all Government lights at pres
ent in use, as well as about % per cent'
operated without any further expense
for labor.
In view of the fact that the County
Act provides for the taking over, OH
the 4th of January, all of the electric
lighting plants now operated by the
Territorial Government, by the super
visors of the various counties In which
they are located, any addition to the
present system in Honolulu will have
to be undertaken by this county.
Specifications were drawn up in the
Public Works Department and plans
made for a new generator and water
wheel for the Nuuanu station, but
owing to the provisions of the County
Act, it was deemed inadvisable to pro-
coed withSthis installation, but there is
no question that a great saving could
be made in the operating expenses of
the electric lighting department, should
the county find it possible to take upl
this work, and l should be very glad
to turn over any information and data
in this office to the Board of Super
visors.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) C. S. HOLLOWAY,
Superintendent of Public Works.
