Joy an outing by traversing the large
grain fields In search of game. Hunt
ing invariably Is very good and those
who come many miles to enjoy this
sport generally return well repaid for
the time spent. Nearly all of the
smaller towns In South Dakota are
annually visited by party or several
parties on this sort of an expedition.
Bonesteel has had several such this
week. Other towns in the county
have had the same. A large number
passed through Gregory county and
went to Dallas, from which place they
started on their quest for chickens in
Trip county, where they are reported
to be very numerous. Several parties
In the vicinity of Bonesteel killed from
fifty to one hundred chickens last Sun
day and the entire community has
been feasting on the prairie fry most
Of the week.

A call has been issued for meeting
to be participated in by citizens con-
tributing to the bonus for the sugar
factory and who have either taken out
no shares or have received common
stock in the Norfolk Industrial COM
pany. The meeting has been called for
2 O'Clock in the afternoon of Septem-
Der 81 in the law office Of Barnhart
and Koenigstein. The purpose of the
meeting, it is stated, is to take steps
to protect the interests of the holders
of common stock in the company
formed when the sugar company turn
ed the local factory and grounds over
TO the Norfolk contributors. 1t is the
aim of the promoters of the meeting
that the common stock should fare the
same as the preferred stock which was
issued to the guarantee committee
who at the time the bonus was first
raised were forced to make up deficit
Of about $4,000 in addition to their
own contributions to the fund. To
cover and protect the guarantee COM
mittee in the former expenditure pre-.
ferred stock was issued. To prevent
this stock from receiving preferred
treatment in case the sugar factory
building should be disposed of is the
object of the meeting called a week
from next Saturday.
Battle Creek Enterprise: James
Gillespie of limerick was in Battle
Creek Monday for the first time since
his return from trip to his old home
in County Denigal, Ireland. He had
a delightful voyage both ways and,u
like majority of the passengers he
escaped the usual seasickness. Mr..
Gillespie had not informed his three
brothers of his intended visit. and
after being apart for twenty years the
reunion was indeed happy one.
Several weeks were spent in touring
through Ireland and England. Dublin
was visited and few days were spent
at the worlds exposition in that city.
Mr.. Gillespie says that Uncle Sam is
apparently little interested in this
affair, as he noticed very few American
exhibits, though American machinery
is extensively used in the country and
especially so by the farmers. AS to
; crops in Ireland, he says they are very
poor on account of an extremely rainy
season. During his entire stay he en-
joyed the sight of the sun only few
days. While in England Mr., Gillespie
visited London for the first time and
saw the principle sights in the worlds
; largest city. "Candidly," he says,
'l"Pd rather shop in Battle Creek,
where the streets are fewer, cleaner,
wider and not quite so long" Liver
pool was also visited and 1t was at this
port he took passage for home. We
hear a great deal about how much bet
ter European railroads are than those
of the United States. This, he says
is all bosh. The fare is about two
cents mile, the same as in Ne
braska, but accommodations for the
ordinary traveller are very poor 1t is
true the trains are not allowed to be
crowded as in America, but the coaches
aside from those reserved for the pin
headed aristocracy are no more COM
, Portable than the common American
freight caboose. Hotel rates are high
and the European regards the Ameri-
can only for what there may be in his
pocketbook. John Gillespie, a nep-
, hew, returned with Mr. Gillespie and
will make America his future home.
