The Lottie Tillotson, the female
who worked some organization in
nearly every town in this section of
the state for a contract for an enter
tainment last winter, and who was
forced to cancel many of the contracts
after she was arrested, plead guilty /,
fined for stealing a suit case of books,
is now working in Minnesota. She
was billed for Morgan, that state
under the auspices of the M. w. A.
for Nov. 8th. Lottie will probably
give this section a wide berth, how
ever.

D. Smet, $ w,ll as all other
towns in this part of the S ate b $
been suffering from a soft coal famine
for about three weeks. One car was
r1ctiv,d las week and one car Tuss-
day Of this, but the two cars were
as a drop in a bucket. 1t seems inn
possible for the people at the docks
to get the cars to load, and traffic is,
SO heavy that what few ears are load
eel are "a long time in arriving at des-
tination. 1t is fortunate that the
weather has been as mild as it has
for the three weeks past. Afew days
will probably see plenty of coal i'll the
dsalers' bins, but meantime it is
mighty hard to get along by picking
~sllvers off the barb wire fences for
fuel.
On Saturday last +. n. Dow re-
signed his position of secretary of the
De Smet Farmers Mutual Insurance
Co., and the vacancy was filled by
the appointment of Geo. W. Latin.
By that act Mr.. Dow became released
from the last of his several positions
of trust. He had already resigned
from the board of directors of the
Farmers Cooperative Assn and from
the city school board. The batter
positi n Mr.. Dow held for several
years, and be is recognized by all to
have been N of the best men ever
elected to the board. Mr.. Dow will
make his home in Milwaukee this win
ter, having sent his family there in
time to allow the children to enter
school at the beginning of the year.
In the removal of f. \. Dow this To-
cality loses one Of its best citizens, one
who has always worked for the up
building of the community. He was
one Of the first to file on land in this
locality, it being in 1879, we believe.
AS a farmer he was always successful.
He made farming a business proposi-
ton and made it pay well. Every
position of trust he assumed received
the same attention and business care
that he devoted to his own interests.
The best illustration of this is found
in the De Smet Farmers Mutual In
surance Co. From the nature of his
office much of the management of the
company devolved upon him. 1t is
true that the company is in the hands
of . hoard Of directors of which the
