experienced here the past three weeks.
The meetings were conducted by Rev.
Chas. c. Smith, evangelist. and Pro-
fessor Holden. singer. There was no
building in the city large enough to
accommodate the vast throngs of peo-
pie at every meeting. The immense
room in the World building. with a
seating capacity of 1000 was filled long
before the hour for opening the ser
vices. Sunday was a great day-three
meetings, besides a union Sunday
school following the morning service.
A thousand men attended the mems
meeting in the afternoon and when an
invitation for those who desired to for
sake a sinful life was given. there We're
men of all classes and professions. AS
some went to the front and gave their
hand to the evangelist. the audience
broke forth in rounds of applause. The

ulate it as to produce fraudulent votes.
With it a straight ticket can be voted
by pushing one knob, and after that is
done the whole machine is clamped
so that no other vote can be recorded
until a lever in charge of the election
judge is pulled. A split ticket may be
voted by spotting any particular cam

done the whole row in which that

vote is cast the opening of the outer
lid shows the total number of votes
cast for each candidate.
The device is smaller than the aver
age voting machine offered on the mar

allow it to be placed on the the market

Irene, S. D.. March 25.-The people
of this place and vicinity and through
out the northern and EASTERN part of
Clay county are taking great; interest
in the proposed electric railroad be-
tween Sioux City and Violin, S. d.
Meetings have been. held by the farm
ers In a number of townships through
which the proposed line will extend,
and liberal support Is promised. If
the proposed line is constructed, as it
is fully believed here it will be. the
citizens of Irene will make an effort to
have the road extended to this place,
making Irene the northern terminal
point. While. some appear to believe
the building Of the proposed line is yet
some distance in the future, a close
watch will be maintained so that If
the line is built the people of Irene will
be in a position to make an effort to
have it extended to this place. 1t is
believed that 1t is only question of a
comparatively short time, until electric
lines will be constructed through diff
ferent parts of South Dakota which
are thickly settled, such as the terri
tory between here and Sioux City.
