pin Il lew udyS ldSt week. MI. Isciiiy

Mrs. Green, of Philadelphia,
visited with her sister, Mrs. Joseph
Wade, last week, departing for her
home Monday last. The lady had
been on a visit to relatives ON the
Pacific coast and was on her way
home.
r. H. Doeden, formerly of Spirit
Lake township, who has lived at
Watertown the past year, has purchas-
ed a business at Willow Lakes and
now has his family established in a
home at the latter place. Mr.. Doeden
is a citizen that any town may con
slider itself fortunate to acquire.
F. E. Blood, of Manchester, is the
proud owner of a colt eleven months
old which weighed just an even
thousand pounds. That's considerable
horse flesh for an animal of that age
and Frank has good reason to feel
proud of it.. We doubt if 1t can be
beaten by anything in the county.
F. f. Demming, formerly of Es-
mond, who moved to near st. Law
renee, and later to Bonilla, this state,
writes that he is breaking up his own
farm. At the date of writing he had
seventy acres broken and fifty-fve of
it sown to flax and expected to have
$50 acres broken by the end of the
season.
DIR. j. III. Hall returned Saturday
from his trip to Chicago and later a
visit to relatives in Wisconsin. He
left Mrs. Hall at Sparta at the home
of her mother where she will remain
for some time. Mrs. Hall is able to
sit up a few hours each day, but her
recovery is slow, although prospects
are good for a permanent relief from
her old trouble and a return to perfect
health.
The young people of De Smet,
many of whom were school mates of
Armour Hortman, sou of G.. G. Hort
man, now of Big Stone, will be inter-
ested in the fact that Armour was
| successful in his recent examinations
and is now a registered pharmacist in
the states of South Dakota and Iowa.
1t is only a short time ago that
Armour was considered one of the
| children here in De Smet.
They tell the story on Geo. Saba,
of Esmond, that Sunday he called at
the home of Charles Olson to visit
some young ladies at that place. The
heavy rain in the evening prevented
George from going home that night
SO he concluded to remain until the
next day and helped with the usual
Monday work about the house. George
is making good Roadway and his ex-
perience in turning a washing ma
chine ought to be a recommendation
that will speedily end that state of
"single cussedness' with which his
years have so far been afflicted.
"A man and wife at Westfield,
Wis, rushed to the rescue of three
children attacked by a dog. All we're
Litten by the animal and all are now
at the Pastuer institute at Chicago
where it is not yet known whether
the treatment will prevent the appear
ance of rabies as the dog was suffer-
ing from that disease. Several cases
have also been reported from Mime
sofa within thepast few weeks. What's
the matter with killing a few worth

ed to run at large? No one knows
when this disease may appear, and
if it does appear some n will suffer.
"A three days base ball tourna-
ment was held in this city last week
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
The teams playing were Madison and
De Smet. The first game resulted in
a of Is to 0 in favor of Madison;
the second, 5 to 3 in favor of Madison,
and the third 13 to 0 in favor of the
visitors. The De Smet boys were
clearly outclassed by the visiting
team, which is composed entirely of
professionals, every man being good
enough at the game to command a
good salary. The De Smet boys,
while good amateur players, connot
stand up against a professional team
of Madison's ability. Owing to the
fact that our boys are not on a salary
none of them IAN afford to give their
entire time to the practice and organ
