Nicola the Magician.

This world famous magician will
give an entertainment at the Assem-
bly, on Saturday afternoon and eyen-
ing of this week, the last public enter
tainments on the Assembly program.
No one can afford to miss seeing his
mystery of genuine magic. He is
known as the Prince Of Magic in
America and in Europe. The Assem-
bly, management urges all to come
and see his work. There is nothing
better in the line of magic in the
world and the people of the Sioux Val
ley can not afford to miss such a won
derful exhibition. He is n Of the
most remarkable performers ever seen
in America one who, both In Europe
and America, has excited the most
unbounded enthusiasm and called
forth praise so lavish as to appear ex-
aggerated to those who have o had
the extreme pleasure OF witnessing
his wonderful erformance.
Nicola is probably the youngest sue
cessful magician before the public,
and magical science is indebted to Its
youngest artist for many Of the new
and up-to-date methods by it's expon.
ents. For years he was the assistant
of his father-the original Nicola,
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1908-07-10

(known on both continents as "Old
Nicola'D-who sent him, while a
young man to Paris, where the young
conjuror by his dexterity, attracted
much attention as he depended main
ly on sleight of hand and address,
showing extraordinary skill in his
school of magic. For twenty-five
consecutive weeks he appeared in the
Egyptian Theatre and while there
created a perfect furore. Try Is they
would none could fathom the strange
power this young American was sup
posed to possess. Old French mas
tiers, who witnessed his my steries, de-
clared them to be the most inexplic-
able conjuring effects that had ever
come within the scope Of their exper-
fence. His feats are little short of
the supernatural; his work Is original
and clever, presenting a series of e
tirely new illusions that battle all at
at solution. We are told that
the poet Is born not made and this is
equally true of the magician. Nico-
las whole life has been devoted to
the art of mystifying and he is fully en-
titled to be styled 1.-THE PRINCE
OF MAGIC"

Mark Twain on Prohibition.

"Crossing the Atlantic with Mark
Twain last summer" said a w. @. T..
U. woman, II asked his opinion of
the prohibition law. His reply was
very characteristic, very humorous.
II am a friend of temperance, and
want it to succeed, he said, "but l
don't think prohibition is practical.
The Germans, you see, prevent it.
Look at them. l am sorry to learn
that they have just invented a meth
cd of making brandy out of sawdust.
Now, what chance will prohibition
have when a man a take a rip saw
and go out and get drunk with a fence
rail? What is the good of prohibition
if a man is able to make brandy
mashes out of the shingles on his
roof, or if he can get delirium ire
mems by drinking the legs off the
kitchen chairS?"

Norman Rogers came down from
Butte county Tuesday and brought
along his cunning wildcat kitten in
a box. Norman is a member OF Co.
E. 4th Regiment State Guardsmen,
and will take his wildcat with him
as a company mascot to the state en-
campment al WATERFOWL. The kit
ten makes a handsome pet but it
will never. outgrow its natural in
stincts to steal chickens or dig its
claws into human flesh If enraged.
This is the little cat Norman and Gid
Glendinning found while out foraging
for firewood on Grand River. Nor
man is under the belief that its
mother was dead when they found it
as it was nearly starved. If the old
cat had been around the boys would
have had ample reason to know what
a full grown wild cat a do when in
fighting trim. Mr.. Rogers reports
the Canton colony prosperous and
happy and all had a good time on the
Fourth.

WONDERS OF THE

The human brain is the most
marvellous machine in the world, says
Harper's Magazine. 1t occupies less
space in proportion to its capabilities
than any machine ever Invented.
1t sends a special nerve to every fibre
OF some 500 muscles, to many thousand
branching twigs Of arteries, to every
pinhead area of the numerous glands
which keep the machine properly
oiled, heated or cooled, to some 16 so.
feet Of skin, which is the outpost
guard Of It's castle, with such COM
pleteness tnat the point OF a pin can
not find an area unguarded. 1t o
sesses special quarters for the recep-
Gion and translation Of a constant
stream Of vibrations that are the pro-
duct OF all things movable and still
in the outer world. On the retina Of
every open eye is a picture Of the out
er view, a focused imprint OF every
ray of light and color, and in the
visual chamber of the mental palace
stands a vibrascope, a magic lantern
that receives the retinal picture in its
billion speeding series of light waves
and throws them upon its mental
screen as a living, moving picture of
light, and shade and color. In the
chamber Of sound is a vibraphone,
over whose active wires passes every
wave of sound, from the dripping Of
the dew to the orchestral foftissime,
from the raucous screech OF the loco
motive to the signing Of the wind
through the meadow grass. In the
chambers set apart for scent and taste
and touch are the secret service
guards to report upon the air and food
which give sustenance to the palace,
and upon the solid qualities of the
tactile world. And, wonder Of all
wonders, this complex human brain
can think in all languages or ia no
language, and even conceive it's own
physical mortality.

CantOn's Old Cannon
BRATlON WIEN THE EFFORT TO STEAL
THE ELK POINT CANNON FAILED.

the care of the militia company then
commanded by DR.. Brown. 1t seems
that DR.. Brown had the gun mounted
at a cost of $40 IL S12, and when he
left here he carned the gun away be-
cause no one would pay him for the
expense he assumed voluntarily.
Brown had no right to the cannon
and the writer hid no knowledge of
Its removal until he sold it to parties
down at Nashua, Iowa. Browns
act was diSgracelul because he knew
the gun was presented to the city of
Canton and he could acquire no vested
right in the gun under any circum-
stances. The mount was his but the
cannon was not. 1t was one Of the
best and safest guns ever made, brass
bound and handsome.
Canton will have a booming 4th Of
July in 1909. and John Smith of Par
ker must be invited to come and
bring old "Prohibition'' along, the
gun he made to celebrate statehood
with. John Smith may not be as
we'll known in romance and story as
the Gunmaker of Moscow, but he is
no less famous as a mechanic and a
patriot. The Fourth of July without
"a cannon lacks mt of the principal
elements of a due and proper obser-
vance Of the day. A national salute
to the 46 stars on the flag at sunrise
would make the Sioux Valley echo
and the boys jump out of bed in a
hurry. John Smith can make a whole
celebration himself.

Old Timers Remembered.

William Blatt, one of the pioneer
merchan is in Yankton, but now OF
Chicago. was in Canton recently and
the writer and family enjoyed a most
agreeable visit with u old friend or
territorial days. We discussed old
times and old timers and found that
nearly all the prominent men In
Yankton in 1870 have gone to their
reward, and their were many bril-
liant men in that splendid group who
battled for supremacy in those days.
There was General Todd, Gen. Trip,
Chief Justice BARTLETT, DR.. Burleigh,
Major Dewitt, DR.. Potter, Hon. S. L..
Sphinx, Col. Moody, Hon. George ii.
Hand, D. T. Bramble, Major j. Shaw
Gregory, Henry Bonesteel, US Mar
shall Litchfield, John Treadway, DR..
Wilson, Enos Stutsman, Rev. DR..
Hoyt, Rev. Jos. Ward, Major Lyman,
Governors Edmunds, Faux and Bur-
bank, Major Washburn, Jacob Brauch,
John Lawrence, Hon. M. X. Arm
strong, Hon. Geo. A. Bachelor, Gen.
Pierce, DR.. j. B. Van Velsor, Hon.
John Pope Hodnett, Judge Brook
ings, Hon. A. G. Fuller, Judge
French, Turney M. Wilkins, Major
Stone, Captain James L.. Kelley
and Hon. James S. Foster.
Those who we're prominent in 1870
and still doing duty are General Will
liam Henry Harrison Beadle of Madi-
son, Hon. Charles H. Mcintyre, now
of Denver, Major Joseph Hanson,
Hon. Geo. w. Kingsbury, M. P.|
Gilman, Sam Buckwalter, and Judge
BARTLETT Trip of Yankton, Surveyor
General Williams of North Dakota,
Squatter Governor f. M. Zeibach of
Gregory county, Hon. Herman Eller-
man of Aberdeen and Abe Adler and
VIM. Blatt of Chicago.
Judge Shannon, Gen. McCook,
Banker Wfntermute, Gov. Penning-
ton and others of note came after
1870.
The names of many of them will be
found OIL the maps of North and
South Dakota and all are worthy of
the distinction accorded them. Trip
county wa named after Gen. William
Trip and not the Judge, and seven
teen of those named as residents of
Yankton in 1870 have been likewise
honored by different legislatures.
MI. Blatt is a prominent mason,
and when grand master of the state
accorded the unusual distinction
Of having the 80 degree conferred np-3
on him in this state by special dis
pensation.

'uld this year mire down at the very

would this year mire down at the very
time the wheat should be cut.
Nothing can be said a. yet about
the spring wheat crop. While it Is
reported as in good condition, it has
to meet with all the chances Of rust
and blight, so that any estimate Is
at the very best guess work, with the
chances against a bumper crop or
anything more than the average.
Hence we see no reason why, where
farmers1,an avoid it, any of the small
grain should he rushed on the market.
