R. Owen, well known to all old
timers in this locality, now located
at Brewster, Wash, sent a box OF
Idaho pears to his old friend +. S.
johnson last week. Mr.. j. brought
them to this Office for our inspection.
There were ten pears in the box and
and the average circumference was
Lag inches. We can also testify to
the fine quality of the fruit. We un.
derstand that Mr.. Owen has a fine
large orchard.
DIR. j. E. Coulter arrived from
Winnipeg, Canada, Tuesday evening
and will remain for a couple of weeks,
to look after the collection Of ac-
counts. The doctor reports that Mrs.
G. is much pleased with the home in
the far north, which all will be glad
to hear. j. K. is working up a
good general practice in the city
and is greatly pleased with the pros.
poets. At first it was a little slow,
but the volume of his practice at
this time is even better than it was
expected it would be at the end Of
only four months. He is feeling
good over the fact aad so will his
many friends here.
WIN. Rusche, from northeast of
Bancroft, was in De Smet Monday.
In conversation with him this writer
learned that Mr.. r. threshed out
6,026 bushels of wheat. grading No.
| and No. 2; 1000 bushels of oats,
!, 600 bushel of barley, 1000 bushels
of speltz, that he has about 500 bush
els Of fax to thresh and As ceres of
good corr TO pick. Very little help
is hired on the Rusche fam as there
are three boys able to handle any
thing to be done on a farm. Such a
crop will surely carry a good sized
family through the winter.
Word has been received in De
Smet that Farther Mulconroy, one
of the Jesuit missionaries who con
Quoted the mission at St. Thomas
church in this city in the early sum-
mer, died at Chicago about two weeks
ago. While here the gentleman
made friends who will deeply regret
his demise. In the death of Farther
Mulconroy the Catholic church of
this country loses one of its noted
workers. The gentleman was known
from ocean to ocean aud had help
ed to conduct missions in most Of
the states Of the Union.
The travelling public will greatly
appreciate the addition Of a Pullman
sleeping car to service between Huron

is added to trains Sol and 504 the
morning train going west and the
evening train going east. Parties
going to the Twin Cities can secure
berths in this car and change at
Mankato at five o'clock in the morn
ing, which is more convenient than
taking the other sleeper at Brookings
at eleven o'clock in the evening.
Parties going to Chicago have the
use Of this sleeper as far as Rochester,
Mimi. The service is daily, except
Sunday evening. Two sections are
reserved for De Smet.

There was great excitement at

First National Bank, entered thu
building and proceeded to GO t,
