Registration.

There seems to be very little
interest taken in the coming
primaries. The registration is
very light in this precinct, only
So having registered to date.
This is not the spirit that should
be shown. Everybody should
register and vote, so that the
new law will have a fair trial.
This is the only way to get ir
good men and keep out the poor

So it will be seen that the plates
get most of the values. The mill
is crushing 80 tons per day.
Mr.. Boyd states that it is now
costing $2.65 per ton to mine and
mill the ore, and that this could
be materially reduced should he
carry out work that he has under
consideration.
This work would be the driving
of a tunnel from the mill level,
a distance Of 1000 feet, and
would intersect the vein at a
depth Of 430 feet from the apex
of the hill, and 10 feet below
the present workings. This
would not only give considerable
more Stopping ground, but would
do away with the expense Of
hauling the ore, as is done at
present. During the spring
months the mill can be driven by
water power, which is also big
item for low cost Of operation.
Another item that figures
largely in the cost of production,
is the fact that Mr.. Boyd, the
lessee, does his own assaying
and general superintendency,
having no executive expenses
whatever.

Axei V. Lindberg and Clara f. Wood
ruff were married Wednesday evening
at Webster at 7:30 by Rev. Lewis, pas
tor of the Congregational church, the
ceremony being performed at the par
sonage. Edythe Woodruff, sister of the
bride, and Robert Woodruff, the brides
brother, attended the couple as brides
maid and best man. The ceremony was
also witnessed by Mr.. and Mrs. George
C. Dunton, formerly of Langford. The
pair left Webster that night for
Portage, Wisconsin, where they took
Thanksgiving dinner at the home ofs.Mrs.
j. A. Bryan, who is a sister of the
bride. From Portage they will go to
Chicago to visit a week or so with rela-

will return to Langford and settle down

near town. They have the best wishes
of a host of friends in this community.

A Unique

The boys" gave Jesse Larson and
his bride a rather unique serenade Mon
day evening. H. r. Weeks was made
bogus policeman and, accompanied by
the Waubay Kid Band and a throng of
citizens of all ages and sexes, went to
the residence of DIR. Jenkins, where
they boarded, and ARRESTED" them.
They were brought out before the crowd
where a still greater surprise was in
store for them. "Slim" Green's old
automobile, dead, discarded and t~ireless
was furnished them, and this was
drawn by John Henry's donkey. Bert
Butler was the chauffeur and a guard of
boys walked on either side of the car.
Notices, such as Gee, ] wish | had a
girl" 'It's great to be married."
MAY your troubles be only little ones,"
ETC., adorned both the donkey and car.
In this vehicle they were drawn in state
through Main street, escorted by the
band and citizens. At last Jesse was
called on for a speech, and rising in the
car he told his appreciation of the ova-
ton and invited them all, old and young,
to go over to Mikes and get what they
wanted. The band then played "I'm a
Poor Married Man." and the crowd dis
persed. -Waubay Clipper.

The HOLIDAY SEASON
WEBSTER STORES STOCKED
WITH CHRISTMAS GOODS
EXPECT A HEAVY TRADE
Webster Merchants r Making
Preparations For the Heavi-
est Holiday Business in
the History of the City

With Christmas only four weeks dis
tant, the Webster merchants are hur-
rying their unpacking of holiday goods
and arranging their displays, and by
the middle of next week practically
every store in the city will have
assumed its holiday attire and present
to its patrons a dazzling array of holi-
day goods of every kind and character.
In fact, Webster will this year be the
Mecca of holiday purchasers from all
parts of the county, and the Webster
merchants have prepared for the big
rush which is certain to come by order
ing large and well assorted stocks of
holiday goods. Everything in the line
of Christmas gifts from jumpingjacks
to diamond necklaces can be purchased
here, and Christmas shoppers will have
no difficulty in finding suitable presents
among the many large stocks offered
for their inspection.
The holiday season will be an exceed
ingly busy one, and all who ear do so
should make their selection of Christ
mas gifts early. Waiting until the last
day or two before Christmas often
proves disappointing. Hurried selec-
tons are never very satisfactory
especially when made in a crowd of
eager holiday shoppers. Those who
make their purchases early also have
the advantage of having a larger
assortment to select from, and this is
an advantage that should not be over
looked.
When you wish to make your holiday
purchases remember that Webster is
the place where you will find the larg-
est assortment and the lowest prices
and be sure to make your selection as
early as possible.

Thanksgiving at Commercial

Thanksgiving at Commercial
The guests Of the Commercial hotel
are very enthusiastic in their praise of
the Thanksgiving dinner served at that
popular hostelry. The menu was an
excellent assortment of desirable and
seasonable dishes prepared and served
in a manner which demonstrated that
the Commercials cuisine is of the very
best. Every effort was put forth by
the management for the comfort and
enjoyment of the guests, and the tables
fairly groaned under the weight of the
Thanksgiving cheer.
The musical program furnished by
the Leen orchestra was a feature of
the occasion, and that it was appreci-
ated by the guests was shown by the
many encores and the many compli-
ments expressed. AS n guest
expressed it, the occasion had more the
appearance of a great big family at
home than it did a hotel dinner. Mr..
Hocum is certainly to be congratulated
on the success of his Thanksgiving din
ner.

AJudged Insane

Ole Williamson, a prominent farmer
of Lynn township, was brought before
the county board of insanity Monday
and adjudged insane. His condition is
attributed to an injury he received
about a year ago when he fell from a
wagon, striking head on a wheel, and
his mental faculties have been impaired
ever since, gradually growing worse
until it vas decided to bring his case to
the attention of the proper authorities.
He will be taken to the hospital at
Yankton.
His case is indeed a sad one. He is
one of the pioneer residents of the
county. has always been regarded as
n of the county's most progressive
farmers, and by hard work and thrift
has amassed a comfortable fortune.
His relatives have the sincere sympa-
thy of a host Of Day county friends
who hope that his case will respond to
treatment.

Will Remodel Building

w. Z. Wells was here several days
last week making arrangements to
remodel the front of lis building, the
old Pioneer hardware, by putting in a
plate glass front of the latest pattern
and running it out flush with the side
walk.
Mr.. Wells informs us that the report
in circulation to the effect that he had
disposed of this property is erroneous,
and probably started from the fact that
he had entered into a provisional con-
tract to exchange it for Colorado real
estate if after an inspection the land
should prove desirable to him. After
seeing the land Mr.. Wells did not desire
to make the trade, and the contract
was cancelled.

STRAIGHT PROHIBITION
STATE WIDE PROHIBITION
MAY BE VOTED ON.
WILL USE THE REFERENDUM
Prohibitionists and Anti.SaloOn
Leaguers May Again Invoke
4 the Referendum on Their
Prohibition Hobby.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
county option proposition has twice
been defeated in this state at the last
election being defeated by over Is, 900
the prohiditionists and paid workers
Of the Anti-Saloon League are again
preparing to invoke the referendum
and at the next election force the vot-
ers Of South Dakota to vote upon a
state wide prohibition measure. To
invoke the referendum requires the
signatures of only five percent of the
voters of the state, and it is reported
that Anti Saloon League workers are
already quietly circulating the necessary
petitions and will have them ready to
submit shortly after the converting of
the legislature.
The county option proposition SUBJ
mitted to the voters at the last election
was practically the same as a prohibit
ton measure--in fact, it was generally
regarded as such-and the heavy vote
cast against the proposition proved con-
clusively that the voters of South
Dakota are not in favor of prohibition.
The majority of the voters are satisfied
with the local option law now in force;
they are tired of being compelled to
vote upon county option and prohibit
ton measures every two years; and
then the taxpayers also have a right to
protest against the heavy expense
caused the state by the Anti Saloon
League workers forcing their pet hob
bies to a vote through the medium of
the referendum.
A statewide prohibition measure is
certain to meet a more ignominious
defeat than did the county option prop
osition at the recent election. The
Aptj-salaon League workers should
profit by the lesss6 taught them on
November 8, and not force the state 70
again shoulder the heavy expense of
defeating their prohibition measures.
