Monday and Tuesday it tried to
thaw with just enough success to
soften the roads and make the sleigh
ing very poor, especially two or three
miles out of town in each direction.
Where the most travel occurs the
roads are in the worst condition be-
cause of the frequent chuck holes.
Tuesday night about ten o'clock it
rained for a short time and then turn
ed to snow. Wednesday morning
the snowfall amounted to four to
five inches with a stiff wind drifting
it badly until ten o'clock. The pas
senger from the east arrived at nine
and was held here until eleven wait
ing for a snow pillow from Huron to
open up the cuts between this place
and Iroqnois.
Friday and Saturday, February
18th and 5th, one hundred pictures
from the Beard Art Gallery, of Min
neapolis, will be exhibited at the
school house in this city. The object
of this exhibition on the part of the
school is to raise money by a small
admission fee for the purchase of pic
lures for the school rooms. There is
no question as TO the need of some
thing of this kind to make the rooms
attractive. Friday evening a program
will be rendered in addition to the
exhibition when an admission fee of
70 cents for adults and Is cents for
children will be charged. On Satur-
day the price will be Is cents 10 all.
The entire proceeds, after paying the
express charges on the pictures, will
go to the school, All the Beard Art
Gallery gets out of it is the advertis-
ing and whatever sales may follow.
Give the enterprise your patronage.
Rev. j. F. Randall preached his
farewell sermon at the Episcopal
church Sunday evening. He will
still remain in the official capacity of
rector of this church until the last
day of the month when his connection
with this diocese closes and he as
sumes similar relations with the
Omaha diocese. MIR. Randall has
been in charge of this and the Brook
ings church for nineteen months and
during that time has made a large
circle of friends in both cities. He is
an able man in the church work, and
a pleasant gentleman in his daily in
tercourse with the people whom he
meets. He will leave this parish with
the good wishes of all with whom he
came in contact. He assures us that
he has a warm spot in his heart for
De Smet people. His labors here
have been pleasant and he has form
ed ties that cannot be severed even
by distance and the possibility that
he may eve return.
