South Dakota Newspaper Changes.
Butler. S. D., March 24.-There
Is a good opportunity here for any
young woman who is familiar with
newspaper work and who wishes to
pave the way for securing a good
husband. For some time the Butler
Herald, weekly publication, was
published by Miss Bessie Lancaster,
who by reason OF her newspaper
work recently secured good hus-
band and retired from newspaper
work, leaving good opening for
some other young woman who wish
es to land husband. The Herald
has developed into something Of a
matrimonial agency, and if a new
editress takes hold of the helm of
the paper it is not expected it will
be long before she too secures hus-
band and retiree.
Woonsocket, S. D., March "a
A half interest in the Times, pub
lished by P. j. Bentz, has been sold
to T. w. Parott, who will become
the active manager Of the paper,
while Bentz continues his position
as inspector for the state land de-
partment.
Frank Kelley. a former Woon-
socket newspaper man, who recently
bought the Herald at Harrington,
Neb., has sold the paper to his son
and expects to continue in news
paper work at a new location.
Washington Springs. 8. D., March
24.-This town is to have a third
newspaper, Rev. W. c. Houts having
decided to leave the ministry for
the calling Of an editor. He has
purchased complete outfit for a
democratic paper.

that 1t was other than thing Of beau

excepting the various forms of brook
trout, which may be said to possess
both beauty of form and coloration. 1t
cannot be denied that these fish are
justifiably praised. but 1t is generally
conceded that the red spotted brook
trout has nothing to fear from their
competition. OF the western rainbows.
