DR.. Jacotel was out to Linden
Beach Monday fixing up his
cottage and other property for
the winter.
Railway improvements are be.
ing made all along the H. & u.
division. Six stalls at the
MOntevideo round house and six
stalls in the Aberdeen round
house are being enlarged to &C.
comodate the large passenger
and freight engines that are to
be used on this division in the
near future. The use of these
larger engines will enable the
company to save much time be.
tween the cities and Aberdeen.
No melodrama of late years
has met with such a phenomenal
success and unbounded praise
from patron and press alike, as
has "In a Woman's Power. -
Young and old, people of all con-
ditions and classes and all lOcali-
ties, flock 10 see this pretty little
play season after season, with
the same enthusias m. Manager
Niles announces the appearance
of "In a Woman's Power" at the
Bentley Grand Wednesday, Oct.

Prof. Fred B. Purdy, of the Big
Stone schools, stopped in Mil.
bank for a few hours Tuesday,
while on his way to Summit, the

tus. The Big Stone people are
to be congratulated on securing
so excellent an instructor as
Prof. Purdy for principal and q
fine corps of teachers for their
schools.
John D. Burt, of South Shore,
brother of Editor Burt of the
South Shore Republican, was in
the city Tuesday, on very im.
portant business-that of secur.
ing marriage license. Wednes.
day, the contracting parties,
Miss Mary Pearl McDuffee and
Mr.. Burt were married at the
home of the brides parents, near
South Shore. Mr.. and Mrs.

Without doubt n. l. Click Z
IA Thorn in Her Heart which
was presented at the opera house
Monday evening, was one of the
very best attractions that has
been in Milbank for a long time.
People were very generous in
their praise and little or no criti
4ism was to be heard at all. The
work of j. j. Sheridan as Mike
O'Connel; Harry L Sperry as
Ebony Black; Leila Click as
Fanny Lexboro, and Louise
Walker as Stella Brandon, was
superior to much that is on the
road. Mr.. Sperry was very
good. No doubt if Mr.. Click
sees fit to favor Milbank in the
near future with a return play
he will be greeted by q good
audience.
Next Monday q party of Mil
bank landseekers who have tax

the trip. Those who will be il
the party are: j. G. Warbis,
Axel Swanson. Ernest Zeigler,
George MCGOWAN, Ernest Hill
mer, HenryC. Druecker, Stanley

out and put up their buildings
and come back after their fami.
lies in the spring.
