The x P's will give their annual

H#HTFgE1T
dance on June AZ.
Peter Knutel Of near Horswill, was
in Dickinson last Saturday. This
gentleman has purchased 100 acres Of
fine land and taken as much o adj.
joining as a homestead, and already
has 20 acres broken and seeded. Christ
Miller, who has a homestead in the
same locality, was also in this city on
Saturday. He left the following day
for Red Wing, MINI to attend to some
business matters.
D. Campbell returned Sunday from a
three weeks trip in Kansas and Ne
braska. He found his mother improved
in health and very glad to see her son
who had not been home for Is years.
Mr.. Campbell said that the Kansas
people had suffered from a cyclone
recently, some 40 homes having been
destroyed, and when he was there it was
very dry. He returned via Denver and
Billings and observed that it was also
drouth stricken in portions Of Colorado.
The services at St. Johns Episcopal
church were largely attended last Sum
day. At the evening service a class Of
thirteen was confirmed by the
bishop. They we're Misses Gertrude
Thompson, Clementine Campbell,
Rose Hartung and C.. L. Wells; Mes
danes ]. b. Dehlinger, R. D. Jen-
nings, T. N. Hartung. L. A. Simpson,
Georgia NJ. Babcock; Messrs. w. D.
Kirkman, A. P. c. Wells. X. D. Jen-
nings and w. H. Holbrook. The SER
mon on Christianity by the bishop was
elevating and instructive. He ex-
planned, in a lucid manner, true Christi
anity, what it is, and will always be,
contrasting it with the different ideas
of the different ages and classes of
people. During both services, the
music by the choir was we'll rendered,
especially the solo, "Savior, When
Night Involves the Skies" by J. w.
Reed at the morning service and in the
evening "Incline Thine Ear" by.R. D.
Lyle. The solos by Mrs. ]. A. Currie
and Miss Stella Rau we're also worthy
of highest praise. The altar looked
very pretty with its white silk hangings
and large vases of tulips. d.
A very pleasant evening was enjoyed
by all the Star members who attended
the party given in honor of Prof. and
Mrs. Davidson, Tuesday. Excellent
music was furnished until a late hour.
About midnight, the doors of the ban
quet hall were thrown open, disclosing
the tables all snowy white which wal
relieved by numerous green candles.
When all we're seated, at the request of
the Worthy Matron, r. H. Johnson
rose and expressed the regret the en-
tire chapter feels at losing Prof. and
Mrs. Davidson. He dweIt at length
upon the many virtues of the departing
friends and hoped that wherever they
went they would be received by as
sincere friends as those they are about
to leave, but begged that their Dickin-
son friends should not be forgotten. At
this j%uncture Mr.. Johnson was so over
come by emotions that he could say no
more and took his sea amid the ap.
plause of the fifty or more brothers and
sisters. Prof. Davidson then replied
that although Time might erase all
memories, he would have difficulty in
erasing the memory of the pleasant
times spent in the lodge room in Dick
iuson. They regretted leaving and de-
sired that they should be thought
kindly Of when they are far away.
After the banquet. which was indeed a
great credit to the efficient volunteer
committee, the dance hall was reopened
and the dancing continued until early
! morning.
