Gollmar Bros. Circus.

The billboards are all covered with
many colored advertisements an
nouhcinp the coming to Mitchell OF
Gollmar Bros Greatest of American
Shows, Circus, Museum, Menauerie
and Hippodrome. Judging from
notices appearing in newspapers
published in towns where the shows
have exhibited already this season
the establishment is much larger
than eve before. 1t is said that the
free street parade is a magnificent
spectacle and that a larger number
OF wild animals are shown in open
dens than with any ..other circus on
the road. Our exchanges state that
it is a fact that the Gollmar Bros.
do exhibit a monster blood sweating
hippopotamus in their menagerie
and that their horses are perfect
specimens and splendidly trained.
They have a terd of monster trained
elephants and in their immense
geological collection are to be seen
the larest wild animals, including
the weird and mysterious vlack vark,
the only specimen on exhibition
In the world. The press is unan-
imous in endorsing the Golimar
Bros Shows as clean, free from
graft OF every kind and of the
highest class in point of general
merit. They will exhibit here Fri.

Candidacy of E. o. McEwen.

E. o. McEwen, of Mt. Vernon,
candidate for representative, was
born and brought up on a farm near
Rockford, Iowa. He is nearly fifty
years of age. In 1888 he came to
Dakota and he engaged in the mer-
camille business in Mt. Vernon. and
by his careful, honest methods has
built up a large and prosperous busi-
ness through which lie has gained a
thorough knowledge of business and
the confidence of the entire COM
munity.
His close connection with the
farming interests, together with his
long business experience, fit him
especially well for the Office which
he seeks. He is honest and consci-
entious, and if elected will represent
the county in a very satisfactory
manner.
1t is thought by, the residents of
the west half of the county that they
should have representation in the
legislature and they have asked Mr..
McEwen to be their candidate.
Realizing that every farmer and
business man is affected by the pres
ent exorbitant freight rates, Mr..
Mcl1wen pledges his best endeavors
to secure legislation giving the State
Railroad Commission power to low
er the rate on an equitable basis fair
to all parties concerned. He is also
in favor of an economical admins
tration in state as we'll as county af-
fairs, and will use his best efforts to
reduce the state taxes to a more
economical basis. He believes that
corporations should bear their just
proportion of the taxes and will use
his best endeavors to this end.

Young men of the class, sufficient to
say that they were of a very strenu-

The program that was arranged
was necessarily curtailed to some
extent owing to the lateness OF the
hour-with the banquet that was to
follow. But two numbers were
%given--a reading by Miss Wauneta
Ferris and a piano solo by Miss
Florence Winsor. Miss Ferris has
just graduated from the Cumnock
School of Oratory, Chicago, and she
presented one Of the choicest num-
bers Of her repertoire. 1t was a gem
Of the first water and she was COM
%plimented warmly over her splendid
~attainments. Miss Winsor played

President Seaman called the audi
ence to order for the election OF
officers, which resulted as follows
President, Frank p. A. McGovern:
vice president, Miss Anna Scott;
secretary, Delvan I. Becker; trea-
surer, Brewster White.
After the election an adjournment
was taken to the basement Of the
Methodist church, where the banquet
was served by the Ladies Aid, con-
sisting OF three courses, which was
served by the Young ladies Of the
Junior class.
Toasts and responses were given..hy
representatives of the classes of
former years, Miss Mary Cook presid-
ing as toastmistress. The following
responded for their classes: n. p.
Beckwith, Elton Hill, Miss Eta

Marjorie Ruth, Horace Kress, Miss
Ethel Grace, Miss Mary Cook, Floyd

Of 1908 responded with their class
yell as their toast.
While the banquet was being
served Nichols Mandolin orchestra
played a very entertaining program.
After the banquet was over a num-
Ter of the young people returned to
the city hall and danced for an hour
or more.

city AID state one of it's most prom
lnent educators and who has been
identliied with all the progress that
has been made in that line since he
has been here. AS the president
OF Dakota Wesleyan University, DR..
Nicholson bias built the institution
up to a high place among the educa-
tiOnal institutions of South Dakota,
possessing the largest enrolment OF
students of any college in the state.
In a financial way DR.. Nicholson
has been very successful in securing
an endowment for the University OF
500. 900, one-fourth Of which was
presented by Andrew Carnegie.
Outside of that gift the president
has had rine success in otter
qua tsrs i'm securing money for aid
OF tie institution. The faculty has
been increased in number and quality
under his administration and he mad
mapped out a greater progression in
this line for the future, which his
succ ssor will undoubtedly carry out.
DIR. Nicholson has been largely in
strumental in building up a stronger
bond OF friendship between the town
aud the University. When ne came
here over six years ago there was a
deviding line between the two, but
he obliterated it in a short time and
there are some very strong financial
supporters in the city for the college.
Nothing has been done as yet toward
securing a successor Of President
Nj holson, but the matter will be
taAsn up by the board of trustees at
their annual meeting during COM
IN Mcement week OF the University.
