Very Rev. j. f. Hogan an
nounces that a mission will be held
at the church at Arlington commenc
ing Sunday, June 4th. Reverends
Mulconroy and McKeogh, the Jesuit
Fathers who had charge of the mis-
sion here last week, will have charge
Of the mission at Arlington,
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Dwight
arrived the latter part of last week
from Dell Rapids, this state, to spend
a few days with relatives before de-
parting for the Pacific coast country.
This change of location is made
necessary by the state Of Clarence's
health, who is now suffering from
lung trouble. Before the campaign
in the Philippines Clarence enjoyed
perfect health, but since his return
he has suffered more or less at all
times. We hope that the change
of climate will effect a complete
cure and that he may be able to re-
turn to this section of the country to
make a permanent home.
Arrangements are going forward

the street sports has arranged a pro-
gram that calls for purses aggregat-
ing Sl25.00. The committee on
races is putting the track in good
shape and will have here some of
the best horses in this section. The
prospects all point to one of the best
celebrations ever put up in these
parts.
The citizens met In the council
room last Friday evening to decide
upon the question of celebrating
July 4th in Lake Preston. There

E. f. Anderson and E. j. Seder-
strom, was elected to solicit funds

four hundred dollars and ON the
latter evening it was decided to
celebrate. Some committees were
selected and the meeting adjourned

dent of Mathews township, but now
of the vicinity of Black River Falls,
Wis, in a letter to Ludwig Nelson,
says there was seven feet Of snow in
places in that locality last winter.
No rain fell this spring until the 9Th
of this month, which gave ample
time for seeding. Knut says be is
now working at something new to
him, 9 grabbing machine. He wants
to break two acres this summer, but
thinks it will take him nearly the
whole season to grub" the patch.
He says that at night he has visions
of South Dakota; which is a hopeful
sign. Knut says further that he
likes Wisconsin good" but be has
not een anything to beat South
Dakota. 1t wodldn's surprise us if
Knut found it convenient to move
back to the Sunshine State.
L. w. Crane is the fortunate
possessor of one of the incest resi-
dence locations in the city, and hav-
ing such an advantage he seems to
feel it incumbent upon him TO i'm

for receiving wire which will make a
