L. W. Lewis is reported to be quite
sick again with his former trouble.
Until recently Mr.. Lewis has been
buying grain at the new town OF
Loomis, in Badger township.
L. P. Bartell, of this city, is con-
Quoting the Ethan Enterprise in the
absence of Editor Johnston. Mr..
Bartell said that the paper was a
year old with the present issue and
that an application would be made
to the county commissioners to make
it n of the three official papers of
the county.
Mrs. Ed. Leehan arrived home Sat
urday from Shaler, Iowa, and
Mrs. Geo. Evans returned yesterday
from the same place. They had been
there to attend the iftieth ami
versary of the marriage Of their
parents. All the children were
present at the celebration Of the
golden wedding and they report a
most pleasant visit at the reunion of
the family.
Messrs. Jaeger and Howard and Miss
Doratha Fairfax are in the city.
They were connected with the Lee
Febvre-Carpenter Co., which played
an engagement here recently. Mr..
Jaeger stated that they expected to
organize a dramatic company soon
and take the road from this point.
He is in communication with some
dramatic people and hopes to be do
ing business within two or three
weeks.
An item from out Mt. Vernon way
says that Oscar Micheals made a
good profit on a farm that he recent
ly sold. About two years ago Mich
calls bought a farm neal that place
for S12. so per acre. Just recently he
sold the farm for 1886 per acre, and
cleared up the sum of SO, 800 as a
profit on the Investment, not taking
into consideration the two good
crops that he must have got from
the land.
Oscar f. Kanouf expects to return
to Mitchell soon to make his home.
At the present time he is running as
a mail clerk on the Northwestern
road between Huron and Hawarden.
Recently he made application for the
night run on the Omaha road out of
this city, and he has been granted
the same. 1t is an all-night run but
Mr.. Kanouff will work a week on
and a week off, which will give
him some time at home.
The money that was made from
the recent high school social has been
expended in art work for that de-
partment. Busts of Washington,
Lincoln and Shakespeare we're pur-
chased together with -about Is pic
lures. The busts are Florentine and
are excellent likenesses Of the best
pictures Of these three distinguished
individuals. The pictures and busts
were placed in the high school de-
partment today and the pupils will
be pleased to see the improvement
when they start to school next Mon
day. ~

item the other day TO the effect that
A.. G. Whittemore. coach Of the
University of South Dakota foot
ball team, of Vermillion, was due>in
Mitchell Thursday to arrange for a
game this fall with the Dakota
University team, Mr.. Whittemore
was here. sur enough, but we have
been unable to ascertain from any
source whether he was successful in
arranging a game with our champion
eleven. Such an arrangement would
be a very happy ending of a long
standing dispute between the col
leges. If the game has not been ar
ranged we hope that it will be done
before the spring college meet takes
place, and perhaps then an adjust
ment of all other difficulties may be
arranged.
