Via Yankton Again.

The frequent changes that are
being made on the Milwaukee road
in sending its train south to Sioux
City, reminds one of "Of agin, on
again, Finnigin." Fer the past
three weeks OF eve longer the Mill
waukee has had a serious time with
the rise Of the Missouri river, from
which the water backed up between
Vermlllion and Meckling, covering
the track to quite a depth. During
those times the south train has been
sent to Sioux City via Canton, and a
turn-around train has been run to
Yankton for local business going
down in the early morning hours and
returning on the time Of the regular
passenger from the south. Yesterday
afternoon the Sioux City train came
up via Canton, but the morning
train was sent south via Yankton,
and it was sent so again this morn
ing, the track having become solid
enough in the day TO permit the
train to pass owe it. The changes
have been very frequent and the
public has had to put up with a great
deal Of inconvenience on that account.
Nothing is being done at Chamber
lain toward re-establishing the bridge
across the Missouri river, for there
is still an immense quantity of ice up
north that has got to come down yet
and if the bridge we're rebuilt the
oncominR ice would again carry it
away.

George Norvell, Of Dakota Wesleyan

A fine distinction and honor came
TO George w. Norvell and Dakota
Wesleyan University Monday night
when the young man received the
appointment to a scholarship in Ok

known as the Rhodes scholarship.
Several months ago three young
men, Kenneth v. Brown, of Sioux
Falls, son of the pastor of the Meth
odist church, Mathew A. Brown, of
Chamberlain, and a student of Yank-
ton college, and George w. Norvell,
o of Rev. Norvell, pastor of the

examination for the Rhodes honor
and all three passed the required

Prof. G. M. Young, of the state uni
versity of Vermillion, and President
Warren, of Yankton college, who
were also members of the commit
tee, and these gentlemen called in
the further assistance of President
Jordan, of Sioux Falls college, and
Prof. A. A. Mcdonald, of the Sioux
Falls schools.
All of the interested parties met at
Sioux Falls Monday evening and the
situation was canvassed on a ply
steal basis until after the midnight
hour. DR.. Nicholson said that it was
a keen, straight and fair competition
and it finally resulted in four of the
committee voting the mark of honor
to George Norvell, The young man
and DR.. Nicholson came home from
Sioux Falls this morning and the Ok
ford student was greeted by the
members OF the Daedalian society, of
which he is a member.
Young Norvell is 81 years old, and
the honor could not have fallen on a
more fitting young man. His entire
life has been a studious one, and the
success he has obtained has been
through his own individual efforts.
He was born in the little town of
Hartford, S. D., and after his first
I%entrance in school he evinced the
| greatest kind of interest in school
matters. He provided for himself
while going to school, and five years
Iago he entered Dakota Wesleyan,
since which time he has supported
himself through college. He has
Preached his Junior year, but this will
end his connection with Dakota Wes-
~leyan. Among the student body the
lyoung man is highly respected for his
close application to his work and for
the s%elf-denial he practices in order
! to secure an education. His father
lis the pastor of the Methodist church
at Ashton, where he has been To-
Gated for the past year, having pre-
viously lived at Worthwhile. Young
Norvell has secured all Of his edu-
cation right in South Dakota, and
having been born within the state,
his achievement is all the more cred
it for the state. Last Friday even
ling MI. Norvell entered the local ora
torical contest and won first place
lin that which gives him the privilege
of representing the college in the
state o%ratorical contest which meets
lin the city late in May.
Mr.. Norvell will leave for Oxford,
England, in September, and is re-
CURED to be there by September %,
to be in readiness for the opening of

of the colleges he will enter he can

not determine until he reaches Eng
land. The Rhodes scholarship pro-
vides that a person securing the
anne will be entitled to receive ST.
500 per year for the two or three
years that the scholarship lasts, and
it will enable the young man to
spend his summer vacations on the
continent and perhaps lay up some
money besides. Mr.. Norvell is to be
congratulated for the honor which
he has secured wholly upon his mer-
it's, and that he will make the best
possible use of the educational facil-
tiles which are placed at his COM
mand there is not the least question.

INSPECTED COMPANY D
Anding, of the Regular
Army, Inspected the Local
Militia Company Tuesday.

Inspection day of the South Dakota
National Guard has again rollen
around and a regular army has been
detailed to make the inspection of
the various companies. Lieutenant
S. w. Aneing, of the Goth i1fantry,
regular army. arrived In the city
late in the afternoon Tuesday and i'm
the evening he conducted the in
spection of Co d. at the armory in
the city hall building. Captain Ross
Ratnbun and Lieutenant Rex Rath-
bun had % men out to inspection.
While the company numbers 80, a
good many o; the boys are out Of the
city working at their trade and it
was impossible for them to return
for the inspection. There were but
few absentees without leave of
absence.
Lieutenant Anding gave the young
soldiers the manual of arms and put
them through the PAGES in good
shape, the soldiers responding we'll
and quickly to the commands Of the
omcer. He colnplimented the cap
tain highly on the efficiency and
laid paticular stress on tie very
clean condition of the guns.
In speaking Of the quarters &C.
cupied by the company, the lieuten-
ant said that the state ought to
provide larger quarters for the
militia companies; that inasmuch as
it HAD but a small militia that it
ought to take BETTER care Of its
soldiers.
After the inspection was COM
pleted Lieutenant Anding and Cap
tain Rathbun spent the rest OF the
evening in making ..out and signing
up the reports that were to be sent
to Washington. Lieutenant Anding
is a comparatively young mar in the
inspection service, as the inspectors
sent here before were men Of advanc-
ca years.
