A Total Eclipse of the Sun Soon
Due.

A total eclipse Of the sun is
scheduled to occur on June 18th,
visible in all portions of the Unit
ed States, except the extreme south.
The eclipse will begin in this lat
itude about $40 in the morning
and will continue until after sun
set. At the time Of the disap-
pearance of the sun, the eclipse
will cover about one half the area
of Old Sol. The last eclipe of the
sun was witnessed here shortly
after the close Of the civil war
in the year 1869. The eclipse will
be remembered by many citizens
who yet speak of it as 9 queer
experience, noticeably in the folk
lore of the south. The eclipse
predicted for June 18th is to be
total and a reproduction of the
one in 1869. The occasion will
afford a rare experience for res
dents of South Dakota, and all
who ever witnessed a total eclipse
of the sun state that they can
never forget it.-Aberdeen Amer

Luxury in Travel.

One new feature of The Rocky
Mountain Limited will prove es-
pecially convenient. For the first
time in the history of western rail-
reading gratuitous stenographic
service will be provided. This
will enable the business man to
complete unfinished Office detail
and attend to business matters with
almost as great facility as if he
were at home.
The Five O'Clock tea service,
which will be provided gratuitous-
ly in the spacious observation salon
of the train. will doubtless appeal
to the women and add an unusual
touch of comfort.
Barber, valet for pressing clothes,
stock market reports and tele-

be maintained as heretofore.

Knights of Columbus Have Big
Doings in Watertown.
The following report was crowd

The following report was crowd
ed out of last weeks paper. We
consider it Of such Importance that
we give it this week.
Last Sunday was great day for
the knights Of Columbus in this
city and one of the most successful
gatherings ever held in the city
was brot to successful consumma-
ton early Monday morning. The
services commenced Sunday morn
ing at $50, when the knights
formed at the Elks' clubhouse and
marched to the Catholic church,
where high mass was celebrated.
Rev. Fr. Twohig of Lennox preached
an excellent sermon, in which he
set forth very eloquently the pur-
port and aims of the X Of c order.
Following these services the
knights gathered at the Elks' hail
at p. m. A large class of fifty
was put thru the first, second and
third degrees, ami the work was
exemplitied in a beautiful and
striking manner. An excellent
banquet followed the putting on
of the work, after which came the
toasting. Covers were laid for
$50, and the feast was prepared
and served by the ladies of the
church. The various councils of the
state were represented, Sioux Falls,
Huron, Mitchell, and Aberdeen,
and also from New Ulm, Mankato,
Minneapolis and St. Paul, MINI.
The occasion was a most enjoyak Il
one to all concerned, and Cretlr
lodge is to be highly congratulated
on the success Of the gathering.
