LITTLE BLAZE MADE PANIC
Burning Paper Dropped i'll Front o.
City Hall Window, Causing a
Small Panic.

A panic was narrowly averted 10
the city hall Thursday evening, and
as it was things got pretty exciting
for the time being. Four young
men in the gallery could not be
interested in the graduating exercises
which were being held and COM
menced to light matches and throw
them out of the window for a diver
sion. Even this palled on them and
they lighted a piece of paper and
threw it down. Unfortunately the
paper fell on the sash of the window
on the lower floor and burned per-
haps a half minute. 1t was seen i'm
mediately by the people in the back
part of the house and several at once
commenced to get out of the build
ing. Those in the front part of the
house noticing the disturbance looked
around and saw the little fame. A
little girl cried out fire and that set
the whole house to rushing and
clambering for the door. Despite
those on the stage and several in the
body Of the house to assure the PEG
pie that the fire was nothing and was
burned out the rush could not be
stopped for five minutes. 1t BEGIN
to dawn Oh the people, however, that
the fire was of little consequence and
quiet was finally restored.
Mrs. L. q. Thomas, who was in the
crowd going out, tainted aud had to
be taken home III a carriage. A lit
tie girl standing nea the northwest
window, started to jump to the
ground, but was held back by r. l..
Tremaine. Two small boys jumped
through an open window twelve feet
to the ground but were not injured.
Other than these Instances nothing
of Importance occurred.
1t is stated that one of the young
men i, known and if it is true he
ought to be punished to the extent Of
the law, for it certainly was a rash
thing to do and might have caused
serious injury to some people in the
fright. 1t would seem that people
ought to act less hastily in an affair
Of this kind, for the haste will lead
in nearly every case to greater injury
than if more time was given TO get
out Of the building.
There ought to be more police pro-
tect,on around public meetings If
the young men have so little to do as
to cause a stampede.

A DELIGHTFUL LUNCHEON
Mesdames Wells and Burns Enter
tanned a Large Company of
Friends on Thursday.

One OF the most enjoyable social
affairs OF the season was a five O'Clock
luncheon given by Mrs JaEes E..
Wells and Mrs Robert Burns at the
home of the former Thursday after
noon. The door was attended by
Lucille Hnst, who directed the ladies
to the rooms on the second floor
where wraps were removed. The
lhostesses received their guests in the
pariol, which was prettily decorated
with lilacs, this being the color
scheme throughout the house.
Tales were spread for over fifty
guests, and the place cards were
dainty in design, being handpainted
lllacs. a very dainty menu was
served in three courses and it was
very much enjoyed. The hostesses
were assisted by Mrs. j.. X. Smith,
Mrs. G. A. Dawson, Mrs. Geo. H..
Hust, Mrs. Fred Wedehase and Miss
Clare Nobis.
Friday afternoon Mrs. j. e. Wells
n Mrs. Robert Burns entertained
another large party of lady friends. at
a five o'clock luncheon, at the home
OF MIS-, Wells, the affair proving
equally as delightful as the n the
previous day. The ladies were assist
ed by Mrs. j. o. Walrath, Mrs. T.. W.,
Downey, Mrs. q. A. Dawson, Mrs.
Fred Wedehase, Mrs. Geo. H. Hust
and Miss Glare Nobis. One of the
entertaining features was a guessing
contest where n answered a num-
Der of question with words starting
with the first letter Of ones last
name. Miss Maude Hager was award
ed the prize, giving the greatest mum
Der in the shortest time.

A BLOCK OF GROUND
Land in Cuba Donated to Dakota
Wesleyan for Endowment
Purposes.

Some months ago President Mich
olson delivered an address in Sioux
Falls setting forth the needs and
prospects Of the University. Some
weeks afterward he received a letter
from a gentleman from a former we'll
known citizen Of Sioux Falls. now
residing in the island OF Cuba,
stating that he had been very much
impressed with the University az
presented by its president and that
he had concluded to make it q dona-
tion. He offered an entire block OF
land in a new addition to the city Of
Kampagney, formerly known as
Puerto Principe. 1t is a city of 2O,-
600 inhabitants and the land is now
worth perhaps as much as the same
tract Of land would be in Mitchell
but everything points to the fact
that in the near future it Will be
much more valuable. Within the
last two or three days, some extend
ed correspondence looking toward an
investigation of the property, has
resulted in a definite donation of
this land to The University for en-.
dowment purposes.
Rev. j. P. Jenkins, who has been in
the east during the month of May
has sent several moderate donations
from eastern friends to the Univer-.
sity and now announces that Rev.
Daniel Steele, for a long time profess
sor in Boston University and a
friend of President Nicholson Of a
number of years standing, has do
mated 240 volumes from his private
library TO the college. The books
will be shipped in about two weeks.
This following upon the notable and
useful donation of DR.. Brush an
nounced last year will be gratefully le-
ceived by the students and friends Of
our University.

While on trip through the sparsely

penses as little as travelling on the
continent we should get more Of them.
What has contributed as much as any
thing else toward compelling compli-
ments from the English, who are slow
to admit good things in other people,
Is the knowledge that the American
men and women can take care OF
themselves anywhere and under al
most any conditions. They like our
independence, which, as sensible
Americans themselves admit, is often
made to appear unattractive, and they
like our honesty and courage. Said
an observant Engllshman: ut Is easy
to look down upon the American, but

CHAPTER VIII.

Captain Stanley, who had returned
to the ballroom, wended his way
amongst the dancers, his progress i'm
peded by some fair lady who greeted
him graciously-often eagerly, and
forced him to pause for an interchange
of vapid nothings. He then visited
all the apartments open to guests,
until he was convinced that the count
had kept his daughter at home, for
better protection against further inter-
course with the handsome sutton he
had rejected so sornfully that same
afternoon.
But English love, like other love,
laughs at the barriers a stubborn par
ent may seek to interpose; and Count
de Cazeneau's decision was not calcu-
lated to discourage so strong-willed q
man as Captain Edward Stanley.
He had acceded to his sweetheart's
wishes by going, in proper form, to
her father; and the matter having
eliminated as the lovers had feared,
nothing was left but an elopement, for
which, in view of the counts probable
refusal, all the plans had been ar
ranged.
1t was shortly after midnight when
a tall man, enveloped in long cloak,
and followed closely by stalwart
negro, who bore a stable bundle upon
his shoulders, looked toward the bril-.
liantly lighted windows of Count de
Cazeneaus house, whose inmates were
evidently celebrating, after the GUS
tomary fashion, the New Years ad-
vent. He paused moment in front
of the rambling, low-built dwelling,
and then passed on, muttering words
which were scarcely a Denediction
upon its owner.
After a walk Of some twenty min.
utes, the man and his silent follower
climbed the low wall that bounded the
counts domain, and, with the night
wind rustling the denuded cotton
stalks about them, struck off across
the broad fields until they reached
