Emil Staudenmaier returned Sat-
urday from Chicago where he spent
several months.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Grice, of
Chicago, arrived Monday evening for
a visit with DR.. and Mrs. j. HI. Hall.
B. B~rynteson was called to Ode
bolt, Iowa, Tuesday by a message tell
ing of the servious illness of his
mother. He went by way of Lake
Preston, not being able to leave the
latter place until Wednesday morn
ing.
Word comes from the hospital at
Rochester that the patients from this
city and vicinity, Mesdams I'll. Mont
ross, James Callahan, and +. S. John
son, are all doing nicely. Each under
went an operation and it is confident
ly expected that they will enjoy better
health in the future than for several
years in the past. The two first nam
ed may be home next week, although
Mrs. Montross will require more time
at the hospital than Mrs. Callahan.
There is someone in this town or
vicinity who is evidently looking for
trouble, and, whoever he is, he will
find it a plenty if he is not more care
full. We refer to the man who has
been furnishing liquor to a man who
is on the "black list. There is con
siderable Indignation over the matter
and a special endeavor will be made
to discover proof that will convict the
individual. Such a man deserves the
contempt of all decent men. Ifcaught
he will get the limit, and he will
be mighty lucky if he don't receive a
little on the side.
As to the balance of this month
Hicks says: A reactionary storm per-
iod is central on the 18th, 18th, and
10Th. Look for return to higher tenn
perature and more rain and snow,
followed by cold, raw weather about
the 10Th to 22nd. A regular storm
period is central on the oath. BY the
23rd, almost a phenomenal change to
warmer will be noted in western sec
tons. Between the BIRD and 9th
storms of marked intensity and VIC
lence will visit most parts of the
country. March billiards. and a full
grown cold wave for the season will
wind up this period. A reactionary
storm period covers the last three
days of the month. There will be a
reaction to warmer, with rain and
possibly snow squalls.
Mr.. j. r. Hull expects to depart
next Monday for West Burlington,
New York state. where he will make
his home with a nephsw. Mr.. Hull
realizes that a man of his years has
but a few SEASONS at the most left to
him, and he has d cid d 10 spend the
remainder of his years III those parts
where he was raised as Il boy. 1t is
probably a good move for Nh. Hull
as one who is afflicted as he has been
for many years needs care and attsn-
ton, more than he feels like asking
from those with whom he is not con-
nected, although he has a host of
warm friends in De Smet who deem
it a pleasure to do those little things
which he is unable to do for himself.
Mr.. Hull will be missed by De Smet
people. He has lived in this city
and vicinity since the early days.
Mr.. Hull is a remarkable man in that
misfortune in a financial way, and
later when the windows became
darkened" and he lived in everlasting
night, his pleasant disposition remain
ed with him. AT all times he is
courteous and pleasant with all with
whom he comes in contact. 1t is this
quality, together with his upright
business life that has endeared him
to our people. He leaves warm
friends in De Smet, and he realizes and
appreciates it. He has often remark
ed to this writer that the milk. of
human kindness seemed to form a
great part of every man he met, and
especially here in De Smet where
his last few years have been spent.
1t is our sincere wish that Mr.. Hull
shall find a pleasant home awaiting
him in New York and hal his declin-
iny veorS mayh no neacafuU and hapny
