The Northwestern railway people
profess to believe that the Milwau-
kee people are only bluffing bout a
road to the Hills but admit if that
company does cross from Chamber
lain or Evarts the Northwestern will
be forced to build across from Pierre
at the same time unless they would
lose more than half of their business
on the other side. Men high in the
confidence of the Milwaukee profess
to know that the crossing is a sure
go and the people will hope they
know whereof they speak. With
three roads across from the Missouri
to the Hills South Dakota would be
pretty well fixed for railroads.

the Knights of Pythias for the Fifth

These degrees were all very beautiful,

the very best every seen in this part OF
the state. The grand chancellor said
the obligation scene in the first was the
best he had ever witnessed.
| In the third there was a full senate
and the most of the senators came from
Aberdeen. This team has reputation
of being the very best degree team in
the northwest and those who saw the
work Thursday night heartily agree
that the reputation is justly earned.
The large class is due to the fact that
special despensation was secured to
admit all me mbers of the band and all
but one took advantage of the oppor.

boys Thursday is a guarantee that the

! The work of the day being done there
came the hour for pleasure and refresh
ments. At 1920 the lodge hall was
stripped of its furnishings and carpets
and the Imperial orchestra assumed the
control for the balance of the night.
Never before has this orchestra been
so good as on this occasion and this was
remarked by everyone.
The ladies at once entered into the
spirit of the evening and were exceed
ingly gracious to all. The spirit OF
fraternity and brotherhood seemed to
spread itself over all and it is safe to
say there never was dance in Webster
or any other city that was so unselfishly
enjoyed by ALL
