for a grand carnival and Fourth OF July

June 80 and close on July 4.

field during q severe attack Of appendi-
| citia Mr.. Daniels was well known and
highly respected, and his death was en-
tirsly unexpected. He leaves q wife and
two children
Local business men at Parker are agi-
tating the construction Of a public hall
or audftorium, something which the city
needs very badly. The present public
hail Ia entirely too small for the grow
ing needs of the city, and q large building
has become a necessity.
The Garretson p~ostof1ce win soon be
moved from its present location In the
new stone block to its old quarters in a
new location. The old building has been
moved just back OF the Minnehaha State
Bank. facing the south, and will be fitted
for occupancy as soon as possible
The members Of the Minnehaha Mans
ko1, a celebrated singing society, which
Is made up largely of Sioux Falls bust
ness men, has concluded arrangements
for the trip Of the society to the north
western singing festival, which viii open
at Grand Forks, N. D., early in July.
Robbers entered the State Bank at
Trent by prying open a rear window. A
hole was drilled through the side Of the

foe packet and freight work on the river

1t seems that young Forrest, the young
farmer who was killed in a runaway at
Miner, had that day made application for
$4,000 life insurance. The life insur-
ance agent was in the buggy with him
when it was demolished and narrowly
escaped death also. The insurance will
be void. however.
The Minnehaha County teachers insti-
tute, which will be held the week of Aug.
22-27, will be something Of q departure
In the way of time. In the past 1t has
been customary to hold the institute two
weeks. 1t Is believed that as good re-
suits can be obtained from a six days
institute as from twelve days.
Brick work on the Elks building at
Huron has been completed and a large
force Of carpenters are now at work on
the interior; IL is one Of the finest struct-
ures in this section of the country, and
when finished will be one of the hand
soonest and most commodious club houses
and business houses in the northwest.
1t is probable that Orient will have
two saloons after July 1, as two appli-
cants for license have succeeded in Sc
curing the necessary number OF sigma
lures on their petitions. Prohibition SEN
timent has been strong there, and the
| opening up of two saloons will be some
thing Of a novelty for the people of the
| town.
The summer school Of Yank.en College
began its sessions on Monday, June 20,

teachers institute will be incorporated
into the school and will occupy the first
| two weeks.
Fire was discovered in the hardware
store Of III. w. Zickwick at Howard.
The fire department responded promptly,
but the flames had gained great Roadway
and while the building was saved the
store was Quilted. There is strong EVIL
dence that the fire was of ~incendiary orr
gin. The loss amounts to about $1,000
and is well covered by insurance.
