a delivery wagon for the Aberdeen
Hardware Co. that will be a hummer.
1t is a special pattern and is designed
for the particular purpose required by
the needs of the Aberdeen Hardware
Co.
Mr.. H. e. Van Orden, an expert tin
ner from Minneapolis, has arrived in
Aberdeen to take a position with the
Aberdeen Hardware Co. He will have
charge of their tin work, iron work,
guttering etc. and will. give the bust
ness his careful, personal attention.
Chas. L. Smith went over to Groton
Monday to secure a renter for a resi-
dence he owned there which he took
in part payment for stock of merchan-
disc at Putney, but instead found a
purchaser in the person of John
Quinser, at a very satisfactory figure.
On Saturday afternoon a little blaze
in a room of Austin's Panitorium
caused a fire alarm to be turned in.
A match on the floor was trod upon
which, igniting, set some gasoline on
fire. The damage was very slight as
the gasoline burned out before the
firemen arrived.
w. H. Kearney is having an arch cut
between his store room and the room
which fronts On 1st avenue and the
Western Union is making preparations
to move into the balance of the room.
The Western Union will probably
move next week. The Gamble-R Robin
son company have completed their re-
moval from the room.
Ernest and VIM. Koch Of Liberty
township, came down Monday with
three unusually fine wolf pelts skinned
with nose and claws on to be used for
making rugs. After securing a bounty
of So on each they sell the pelts
for Sc each. The boys have a stag
hound and a grey hound and they
have not lost a wolf yet that they have
sighted.
The Redmen held another very sue
cessful meeting Monday evening and
initiated a large class. Messrs. Fro
berg and Schunk, who have been
Sachems of the local lodge, were each
presented with beautiful sachem sash
es. Mr.. Schunk made the p%resenta-
ton speech which was neatly respond
ed to by both gentlemen. Mr.. Schunk
has gone to Yankton to continue his
work there.
Day county people seem to be par
ticularly appreciative of Aberdeen's
public buildings. Before erecting
their new court house their county
commissioners made a careful study Of
the plans Of the new court house here.
Now the school board of Webster
came over on Friday last to study the
plans Of the new school houses of the
city. Many features of our buildings
will doubtless appear in the new 16-
room building they are planning to
build.
One of the most remarkable of the
later inventions may be seen at the Of
flee Of the Western Union Telegraph
office in this city. George Herrick,
the local manager, has had installed a
typewriter transmitter. 1t does away
with sending messages by hand as it is
necessary only to spell out or write
the words on the typewriter in the or
binary way. It enables an operator
to do very rapid and accurate work
and is a great convenience to the local
office. It is said that an invention
has been perfected which enables
messages not only to be sent in this
name but to be received on a
typewriter also. The latter invention
is said to be so expensive that it will,
for the present at least, be used only
between large cities where the bust
ness is very heavy.
