AS per announcement of last
week Geo. W. Egan, of Sioux Falls
appeared at the Floto Hall Tuesday
evening to deliver his lecture. But
Geo w. Egan delivering a free
political speech, and Geo. w. Egan
delivering a lecture at so cents per
head are two different matters. Only
about twenty people appeared so Mr..
Egan decided not to deliver his
lecture. One thing that might have
accounted for his failure to draw a
crowd is the fact that the town had
been overrun with different attractions
the week previous and a dancing
party vas in progress Tuesday
ing at the opera house.

pect to tart Monday of next week for

thinks it will be a splendid home,
just what he has wanted for a long
time. The family will leave a large
circle of friends here, all of whom
unite in wishing the Tackaberrys
well in the new home.
