Commercial Club

The annual meeting of the CONNER
cial Club was held Thursday evening
and by suspending the rules all the
officers serving during the past year
were reelected with the exception of
secretary. Geo. H. Stoddart was
the unanimously choice of the club to
act as secretary during the present
year. Several matters of importance
were discussed.
President Roddle referred to the work
OF the club and thought with the pro-
jects now proposed it was very essen
tial that the business men take an
active interest in the club and thus aid
the city in advancement.
There should be an attendance OF
more of the merchants at these meet
ings. They ought to be interested in
local enterprises. ------

For many years Mrs. Carlisle has

have grown to mems estate, some are
gone, but additions have been made
from the ranks of those who would

This class has become the pride of the

this early date it is apparent that many
who the favored the machine bosses
are now lined up the other way, and

with the republican voters of Clay

MACHINE GETS A JOLT
A. B. Kittredge is Attorney for the
Milwaukee Railway

The following telegram to the Mime
apolis Journal from Vermillion Feb.
10, comes pretty near showing how
Senator Kittredge stands III relation
to the railway proposition. While he
is austensibly serving the people he is
also serving the Milwaukee R'y. Can a
man serve two masters whose interests
are directly opposite?
Vermilllon, S. d., Feb. 15.-Special
to The Journal.-It was not generally
known here until few days ago who
the resident agent for the Milwaukee
company is. 1t transpires that the man
on whom service can be made in an
action against the company is none
other than United States Senator A. B..
Kittredge, who was attorney for the
company before his promotion to the
senate, and it is reported is still serv-
ing the big corporation.
The fact was brought out here a few
days ago when the Milwaukee brought
suit to secure title to a tract OF land
near the station, and to have valua-
ton placed on it by jury. The COM
pany is incorporated under the laws OF
Wisconsin, but to show that it had
complied with the South Dakota law
and to save a question being raised,
papers were produced to show that
Senator A. B. Kittredge was the resi-.
dent agent.
Usually the fact that company has
a resident agent in the state does not
arouse curiosity, but many here are
wondering just why the Junior senator
above all others, should cling to po-
sition which might embarrass his
public service. The name of Kittredge
in years past has been connected more
or less with the Milwaukee railway
tho it was supposed this came about
more as result of his having been al
one time attorney for that company.

his desire to build and all he asked
of the Commercial Lea ne was to
raise a sum OF S.. 1000 to be paid at
a time when the theatre was ready
for opening. The League officials

Mr.. Preston said it vas d surprise
with what unity the citizens re-

this magnificent building is to be

This theatre Mr.. Preston said, repre-
Sents a monument TO tie energy,
confidence and ability to push things
to Mr.. Gale, and at an outlay of
500, 900 he presents a magnificent
hone for the drama. Mr.. Preston
urged the people OF the city to show
their loyalty to the man who had
thus invested such d sum as to turn
out on every occasion a crowd that
was equal to the present. Quoting
the words OF that famous old repre-
sentative of the American stage,
Joseph Jefferson, "May you live
lone and prospect" Mr.. Preston ap-
piled them to the life Of Mr.. Gale,
and he asked for a vote of the
audience that as long as this building
shall stand it shall be known as

assented with a tremendous s'aye.n
Mr.. Gale was called upon the stage
and acknowledged his thanks for the
very kind words and the evident APP
probation OF the public. Mr. Gale
was greeted with prolonged. applause
and it was several minutes...beiore
silence prevailed.
When MIR. Gale commenced bis
theatre the people felt that they
would be given something that would
be a credit to Mitchell. 1t has
always been his reputation that when
he ATTEMPTED anything that it wonld
be the best possible and he demon
strated that feature of his character
in his theatre His long association
with tile corr palace as president
has given him a keen insight into
attractions and The Republican is
safe in saying chat whatever Mr.

nine cases out of ten, be something
worthy the patronage OF the people.

Mitchell people and there was a
very good representation from sur
rounding towns, Aberdeen, Sioux
Falls, Armour. Mt. Vernon, Parks
ton. Alexandria, Emery. Sioux
City, Salem, etc, being represented
in the vast audience. There was
hardly a vacant seat in the building
and in the gallery standing room

boxes were filled to their capacity
and a guodly plumber OF theatre
parties were in evidence. Hand

MIR. Preston said that Mitchell was
ALWAYS glad to welcome the good
things that came her way. ana that
she has been gathering flowers for
years. and now this rose has come ip
the form of this theatre to add to
her garland. Mr.. Preston referred
to the long residence of L. O. Gale

peculiaritie. of This LoatAsome and
Deadly Disease

Deadly Disease.
The fact that many persons come in
to intimate contact with lepers for
years without becoming affected is not
strange when one reflects that the
same applies to the closely allied dis
observation-disclosures. Men have volun-
tarily submitted themselves to direct
incubation with material from the
sores, discharges, ETC., Of lepers, yet
n only one case (that Of a Hawaiian
convict who, when condemned co
death, submitted to the alternative Of
inoculation) was the actual disease pro-
duced in this artificial manner.
There is no cure for leprosy. All the
remedies proposed after the disease
becomes well seated have been Of lit
tie use. The utmost attained is a pro-
longation Of life and a mitigation Of
suffering.
There is a tradition which has Of
late obtained some scientific support
that fish diet is one Of the necessary
causes of leprosy, either through faint
ed fish containing some substance
which stirs the bacilli into activity OF
through the bacilli growing in the fish
and thus being taken into the stomach.
This lunacy may have originated in
the. belief that the scales Of the leper
and the scales Of the fish are analo-
gous. Leprosy exists among inland
peoples who never eat fish and does
not seem specially prevalent among
those Of the coasts who eat most fish.
A curious thing about leprosy is that

DEDICATION OF HOSPITAL
a Reception Was Held at st. Jos.

The initial exercises in the dedica-
ton of st. Joseph's hospital were
held at the building Thursday at
10 80 o'clock. The Rt. Rev. Bishop
Thomas O'Gorman arrived in the
city via the Omaha road and was
ret by a reception committee, the
members of which conducted him
out to the hospital.
The morning hours were spent in
putting the finishing touches on the
interior of the hospital building.
Mother Joseph, Of Aberdeen, has
been here since Monday superinten-
dening the work of getting the hos
pital in readiness. She stated that
it would be three or four days before
the hospital would be ready for the
reception of patients. While a great
many of the rooms are finished and
fitted there are some details that
lack completion which are essential
to the working arrangements OF the
institution. a detailed mention of
the interior arrangements will be
given when they dre completed.
The building stands in the eastern
part Of the city and presents a fine

and hastily commented. An inspec-
ton of the interior indicates that
the hospital is going to be equipped
in the best possible manner, par

the details that 90 to make a place
of that character comfortable.
In the morning Bishop O'Gorman
said Mass in the pretty little chapel
that has been placed in the hospital
and il was largely attended. A
beautiful altar graces the north side
of the room, which was a present te
