1t is probable that new Lutheran
church building will be erected at
Orient in the near future and that a
regular pastor will be appointed to
have charge of the work of the church
there. The movement for the erection

Lutheran services at Orient. 1t Is
thought the Lutherans of Howell also
will erect new church building.

Miss Birdie Gibson of Deadwood
went to Denver a few days ago to re-
Charles Bradbaugh, from whom
she was divorced several years ago.
Miss Gibson and Bradbaugh were mar
ried in Deadwood and lived together
only short time before trouble arose
and the divorce followed. The unhappy
wife took her maiden name and ac-
cepted position as stenographer, but
time and absence served only to re-
awaken the old romance, and Miss
Gibson has gone to Denver, where
Brandbaugh has a good position, and
where they were again married.

various times efforts were made to try
and stop the flaw through the broken
pipe, but failure resulted in each in
stance From the we'll Woonsocket's
beautiful lake was made, which served
as a summer resort, many people, go
ing there and camping on the shores.
The well had, in its earlier days, the
strongest pressure of any in the state,
and it was used as an example of the
best artesian well Of South Dakota.

every prospect of having the most sue

add greatly to the the facilities for
work. Moreover, the faculty is an ex-
.ceptionally strong one. It has been the
policy Of the institution to employ
none but college graduates of excep-
tional rank even for the academy
work, and the most of the faculty
have done postgraduate work and
have had in addition successful expert
ence as teachers. The attendance is
unusually good.
Inspector Appleton, who has been in
Watertown looking up the site offered
for the $4,000 federal building, has
been strongly impressed by the gen.
crosby Of WATERFOWL citizens. This
generosity SO apparent to the inspec-
tor is the result of a street fight in
