Watertown Public Opinion, "A The
worthy grand matron of the Eastern
Star, Mrs Angie L. Williamson of
Madison, S. d., is in the city and is
being entertained at the home of Prof

rendered her this evening at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. t. Rowe.
A meeting of the newly organized
Lake County Agricultural association
will be held at the court house, Satur-
day afternoon. March II, for the pur-
pose of discussing business matters con
nected with the association and fOrmu-
lating plans for fair this fall. 1t is
desired that everybody attend the meet
ing and take interest in the enterprise.
Discussing the organization of an old
settlers association, the names of many
former residents are recalled AMI more
or less information of their whereabouts
and present occupation is developed.
Perhaps the most startling is the state
ment that Fl. j. Patterson, former
mayor of Madison, is now resident of
Kansas City and high official of the
Salvation Army, leading the army in
its parades every night
At S:15 Friday evening, March 10,
Ross Crane, humorist, cartoonlst, clay
modeler, and pianist, will render a
varied program in the Normal Auditor
ium. This is the third number of the
Normal Entertainment course and hold
ers of season tickets can reserve seats,
without extra charge, at the Corner
drug store, beginning Wednesday.
March s. At the same time and place
there will be on sale single tickets: ad-
ults 80 cents students 30 cents; either
reserved for 10 cents extra.
Every one is taking a great deal OF
interest in the charity ball and 1T l.
boped that all will help. The parties
owning the hall have been very liberal.
The orchestra have likewise lent help
ing hand and if others do as they have
for other causes it will be big sncess.
II is the desire of the committees to
make the charity ball of Madison the
beet of the season. Here is surely pleas
ure in giving. There will be all kinds
of games at the Odd Fellows hall for
those that do not dance A good sup
per is promised.
A deal was completed today whereby
the local telephone system passes into
the hands of the Dakota Central Tele-
phone Co, headquarters at Aberdeen.
The system will be rebuilt, enlarged
and improved so that all demands made
upon it will be met Charges for phones
will be collected monthly after service
is rendered instead of quarterly in adj
vance as at present. The long distance
rate will be reduced. The franchise
recently granted to Geo. r. Farmer Will
now be abandoned.
An immigrant giving his name as j..
George Frick passing through the city
TODAY enroute to Hazel, had an exper-
ience at Sioux City. Coming through
Iowa he allowed a young man TO get IN
to his car at Coon Rapids. Arriving
at Sioux City Frick and his new found
friend had few gla sses of beer and re
turned to the car. After the train
started the young man jumped OIL ana
Frick found himself minus his pocket
book containing $40 and draft for
$500 He notified Chief Mctioyern mp
on his arrival here and description OF
the thief has been sent to the Sionx
City police.
The proposition to organize an old
settlers association seems to nave
struck very popular chord since IN
vitations have been issued to attend
meeting for the purpose at Odd Fellows
hall next Monday evening. The invi
tations include only those who were
residents of the town of Madison in
1880 Ii is expected that the first meet
ing will be for the purpose OF reminls-
crnse and to discuss plans upon which
to formally organize. The residents of
1880 will of course be charter members
Of the association and it is to be deter
mined later what year $ coming to the
city after that date constitutes an old
settler. The plan of an old settlers az
sociation has been talKed more or less
for several years and tnat one is to be
finally organized is meeting with gen
eral pleasure.
