from Dubois and Falls Creek arrived
little after eight o'clock there was an
immense crowd on the streets Immed-
lately after the arrival OF train from

formed in line and the large parade
three brass bands, drum corps, march
ing clubs from Dubois, Falls Creek,
Punxsutawney, Reynoldsvile, and q
number Of men from Brookvi.le, Rath-
mel, Soldier and other nearby towns
were in the parade. The Falls Creek
and Punxsutawney brass bands accom-
panied the marching clubs from those

natty suits, made the best appearance
of any club in the parade. CAPTAIN

den Flood, OF Meadville, was introduced.
He delivered an enthusiastic address.
Col. Flood Is fluent and eloquent
talker. Gen. Thomas j. Stewart, of
Montgomery county, was the second
speaker introduced and his speech was
heartily received. After Gen. Stewart
concluded his speech cry went up for
Elkin to speak and he responded. He
gave the audience more of a neighborly
talk than political speech The last
speaker was Mariana Cancelliere, of
Pittsburg, editor of La Trindc,id, an
Italian newspaper.
About eleven o'clock the excursion
trains left for Brookville, Falls Creek,
Dubois and Punxsutawney.

Horse Sense.

My maternal great-grandfather, Van
der M%eerschaut, had a little Cossack
horse captured from the Russian in
vaders in 1914. The old gentleman
was lame in one leg as the result of a
hunting accident, but withal a good
horseman when once in the saddle.
When out on his trips in the country
on business and coming home at night,
he would frequently fall asleep in his
commodious Cossack saddle. The horse
would make a bee line for home at an
easy but swift pace. Arriving there, it
would rap ut the front door with it's
foot until the Waterman would open
the porch and take the old gentleman
out Of the saddle. My grandmother
told me this happened almost every
week. Horse and master understood
each other. Not being able to walk
very we'll, he would hunt from horse
back, the horse following the settlers
and coming to a %standstill when one
of them was on a point, the old gen
tleman guiding him entirely by pres
sure Of the knees and voice and having
both hands free for his fowling piece.
The horse died Of old age on the place,
as most Of our servants. Peace to his
ashes!EForest and Stream.

WANT TO BUILD A MILL
Truax & Belts Make a Proposition
to Canton Business Men to
Erect Flour Mill.

Canton correspondence to the
Sioux Falls Argus Leader: AS per
call Of the president 81. E. Thayer,
the Commercial Club met at the
council rooms Friday night for the
purpose Of discussing the matter of
securing a grist mill for Can
ton. Messers TruaA & Belts Of
Mitchell, who have fifteen elevators
a long the Milwaukee line, have
made the proposition that they will
build a $4,000 mill here if the citi-
zens of Canton, will put up a bopus
of $1,000. And this meeting was
called for the purpose of discussing
the offer. The reason the firm pre-
fers Canton is that we have the Iowa
rate on coal at this point, and are
thus a more desirable point than any
other portion Of South Dakota for
manufacturing purposes. MI. Belts,
of the firm was present, and adj
vanced the points which were de-
sired to be known by the members
who attended the meeting, and after
the matter was thoroughly discussed
it was generally conceded that the
$4,000 could not be raised, but that
it might be possible to raise $1,000,
and a committee was appointed to
solicit the funds: T. T. Smith. d.
Bremen, Jas. Lewis, G. Fl. Cassll
and John Isaackson. There is no
question but that it would be a
great thing for Canton to secure
such a mill as was talked of, and il
is hoped there will be united effort
made to land the prize.

Humiliatinx a Bull.

A magnificent red bull owned by an
English farmer had an unpleasant no
toriety as a man killer. A strip of oak
board had therefore been bound firmly
across his forehead, and on this as an
added insult to the monarch of the
herd was painted, Dangerous" When
the beast held his muZzle to the sky he
could see in front of him, but the mo-
ment he lowered his head for mischief
or grazing all view except Of his own
forefeet was cut off. "Clambering one
day down a tor les his haunts," says
a writer, II came on a stretch Of level
green. In the center of this sat an i'm
perturbable artist painting. and round
him in furious tangents charged the
Intellectual bull. Up went the beasts
head while aim vas taken under the
board at this disturber of the solitude,
but then, with lowered horns, the
plank again shut the bull into a mis-
taken memory of where his target
was. The painter said he had spent
half a morning in flight and the next
half in laughter"

uNTlMELY CHEERS.
The Misplaced Enthusiasm of an Ex.
Corpse In Ireland.

Tne Misplaced EnthustAsm of an EX-
Corpse In Ireland.
1t was the rule in Ireland at one
time that after an execution the body
should hang an hour, but the sheriff
from mistaken lenity, would on some
occasions look away after the prisoner
had been turned off, while the friends
Of the culprit would hold up their com
panion by the waistband Of the trousers
80 that the rope would not press upon
bis throat.
When the hour was expired the
deceased was put into a cart, which
was driven at a gallop along the stony
road. The jolting generally brought
the prisoner to. One such recovery
was SO complete that the ~resuscitated
man sat up in the coffin and gave three
cheers.
One of his friends was SO shocked al
this indecent conduct that he hit the
ex-corpse on the head with his shillalah
and finished him. The question thNl
arose whether the assailant could be
tried for murder, but it was ruled that
no man could be successfully charged
with the murder Of a man who was al.
ready dead in law.-Pearson's Weekly.

FOR A NEW DEPOT
Gr"nna Being Surveyed. for a New
structure-Very Likely Will
be Constructed OF Brick.

The Omaha railroad officials have
already commenced to make their ar
rangements for the construction OF
a new depot on a site adjacent to
the building that was burned early
last week. H. p. Barlow, ii member
Of the surveying department OF the
Omaha road, arrived i'm the city
Tuesday to look over the gfound for
the new structure, and Wednesday
looked over the city map to secure
the location OF the city sewers In
conversation with Nh, Barlow he
said that the Omaha officials were
going to give Mitchell! a better depot
than we had before the fire, and
although it was not definitely settled
he believed that the structure would
be built of brick. He gave it as his
opinion that the work would com
mence on the new building just as
soon as the weather turned warm
enough so that the work could be
carried at not too much Of a disad-
vantage. 1t is to be hcped that the
plans of the Omaha are for a good
substantial building and that either
brick or stone will be used. Mitch
ellis prominence as a railroad center
and the business that is transacted by
the Omaha will certainly justify the
expenditure of a goodly sum in pro-
viding a good home for the COM
pany's business.
With the Milwaukee having prac-
tically settled on the construction
of a new depot of the up-to-date
character a pain of new depots will
be a very satisfactory thing for
Mitchell.

Pierre Free Press: If the Mitchell
Republican editor, who knows, or at
least thinks he knows, that the ex-
hibit Of agricultural products at the
state fair last year sent from this
county was collected across the nv
er, will come up and make us a call.
the coming autumn, we will intro
duce him to parties who assisted i'll
collecting that same exhibit and who
can show him on their own farms
and gardens exclusive evidence that
Hughes county is agriculturally all
right, and can load him up for bis
return trip with mammoth vegeta-
hles ETC., that will make Dawson
county denizen's eyes bulge. The
same good depth of fine black aluvial
surfaces the earth at Pierre and
vicinity as does at Mitchell.
The above from our friend, Besan-
con, was called forth because The
Republican published d statement a
short time ago that the agricultural
products that were heralded over the
state last fall as the Hughes county
exhibits were not raised in Hughes
county. We stated that the gentle
man who gave all these products to
the Hughes couRty lived In Stanley
county. According to Brer. Besan-
cons idea Hughes county may be all
ne claims for 1T but we have yet to
hear OF any great amount of corn,
wheat, oats, or other grain being
shipped out Of that station.
