DANCES.


One of the most elaborate social af-
fairs of the season, was the dinner
dance given last evening by Mrs. j. F.
Williams, and Mrs. ]. A. Happier,
complimentary to Miss Frances Clark.
The patio of the beautiful Williams
home was enclosed and transformed
into a. veritable japanese tea garden,
with profusion of peach bloom, Jap
anese lanterns, and palms. and the
affair was an artistic masterpiece in
the completeness Of the decorations in
japanese motif.
Japanese lanterns were suspended
from the ceiling of the enclosure, the
floor was spread with handsome ORR
entail rugs, and palms added to the
pleasing tropical effect
The debutante's table occupied the
center of the patio, with the seven
smaller tables grouped around it. Pink
and white were the colors chosen for
the decorative effect, and the tables
were exquisitely adorned in these col
orings- Cluny lace centers and doilies
were attractively used over pink
spreads, and tall cut glass vases filled
with peach blossoms, and surrounded
with tulle, formed the central decora-
ton.
Pink candles filled the cut glass
candelabra, and the bonbon baskets
accentuated the pink tones.
The place cards were dainty fans in
Japanese design, and the favors were
tiny Japanese parasols, and lanterns.
The dinner was served in six courses,
and between each course a song or
some other form of entertainment was
given by the guests. w. K. Mari gave
a monolog and vocal selections were
given by Mrs. Marguerite Buckler
Stevenson, Miss Gertrude Ellis and W.
p. Fraser.
The entire lower floor was cleared
for the dancing, which followed the
dinner. Throughout the apartments
the chrysanthemum decoration was
observed

on tables and mantels, and wall vases
We're filled with the bloom. Quantities
of palms and ferns were also effect
lively used.

y YSANDER JOHN APPLETON
went home one evening in perfect
health He got off the car ten
blocks from his destination that he
might enjoy the exhilaration of the
walk. and as he swung along, it was
with a feeling of eontentment. good
VIII toward all mankind, and the happy
anticipation of an evening TO be spent
quietly with his newspapers
He had to leave home early in the
morning, and his evenings were his
only opportunities for quiet reading,
and when he thought of the joy ahead
OF him he quickened his stride.
But the moment he caught sight of
his wife when he entered the house.
his barometer fell, for her hair was in
curl papers.
The dinner looked good. and Lysan-
der John was hungry, but realizing
that desperate situation must be met
with desperate means, he refused TO
eat, and bowed his head on the table
with groan.
Whats the natter" asked his wife.
ARE you sick? And just when 1 had
arranged to take you over to a neigh
boris to play cards?"
L would like to go with you,F
groaned her husband, but 1 am very
sick man. 1 have appendicitis. My
head is whirling. 1 have a touch OF
the govt. My arms are full of rheu-
matism- I have lumbago and plurisy
and feel an attack of pneumonia COM
ing on l am afraid 1 will not live
till morning, but don't let that keep
you from your card game. 1 can stay
alone"
Il won't leave you," said his wife.
Indignantly; it shall never be said
of me that l let my husband die
alone"
Half an hour later Lysander John,
wrapped in hot blankets, moved his
feet from a hot water bag that was
blistering them, tugged uneasily ct a
mustard plaster on his side, adjusted
the bandage on his head, and peeping
over the pile of plasters on his chest,
winked feebly at his son, Chauncey
Devere. who had been left in the room
TO watch him while his wife prepared
six onion poultices, and said:
AT least This beats playing cards !
at the neighbOrs. / can stay at
home"

while at Fiandreau, of Hem.
orrhage of the Brain.

President Fulton, of the School of
Mines, received telegram Tuesday
stating the death of E. G. Erickson of
Elk Point, president of the state board
of regents. He had been i'll for ten
days or two weeks, but late last week
felt strong again, so much so he went
to Flandreau on Monday, at which
place he died of hemorrhage of the
brain. He has resided at Elk Point
for over a third of century, during
all of the time being actively engaged
in the practice of law. He was re-
garded as one Of the ablest attorneys
in the southeastern part of the state
and his death will be mourned by the
members of the profession throughout.
He has made numerous visits to Rapid
City, and this week, in conjunction
with Thos. R. Nelson, was arranging
the prelinary details for the trial of a
case in circuit court here. During his
illness his mind was alert and he was
able to look after many Of the multi
plicity of business duties devolvent
upon him. He dictated letters re-
garding the case in the court here
while prone upon his bed. He located
in Elk Point in territorial days and
took an active part in the statehood
campaign.

THEY MADE A LIVELY RUN
Team belonging to the United States
Gypsum Co. Creates Excitement
on Seventh Street.

A rather sensational runaway was
had on Seventh street at about 500 a.
m. Wednesday when team belonging
to the United States Gypsum COM
pany left the Milwaukee freight depot
hurriedly. The team was in charge
of Ed. Turner and while he was in
the freight office signing receipts the
horses became frightened. They made
a lively run for block and a half up
Seventh and at the intersection Of
Main street endeavored to turn up the
busy thoroughfare, but instead made
direct for woodpile near the Tom
Sweeney Hardware store. They STUN
bled and fell on the sidewalk, sliding
considerable distance to door lead
ing to the basement of the store,
which gave away under the weight Of
one of the horses and prectpitated the
animal to the bottom.
The runaway attracted a large
crowd and much speculation was in
dulged as to how best to extricate the
horse from the basement. Several
ways were suggested, but none ap-
pealed as practical until Deputy Sher-
if Baken suggested laying heavy
plank on the incline with cleats SO
the animal could climb up. The
frightened team passed pedestrians
and vehicles on the street, but though
there were several close escapes no
damage resulted except few scratches
on the horses.

Apples of Gold.

Vermillion Republican: A box Of
70 apples sold for $3.50 at Denver
recently. This is the highest price for
apples recorded since the time when
Oregon big red apples sold for $l.50
each during the gold fever of 1850.
'Apples of gold in pictures of silver"
"and dear as the apple of thine eye" {"
heretofore seemingly meaningless, now
have meaning very real. Not long
years ago apples were bought by the
barrel and stored away in the cellar
with potatoes, onions and turnips and
other common grub. It's different
now. Apples are being clothed each in
it's separate garments with name and
lineage stamped conspicuously thereon
and sold by the dozen. Surely farming
is coming into its own at last.

in favor of a downward revision of
the tariff, and, with the history of the
last session before me, have no hest
fancy in saying that shall strongly
and unreservedly cooperate with any
movement having for it's ultimate OBJ
ject the overthrow of the powers
which now dominate both houses of
our national legislature, designate
them by whatever term you please;
and in the coming campaign / stand
ready and willing to make their over
throw the dominant issue, and if
elected to devote my energies to bring
about such change, as I believe no
legislation truly representative of the
desires of the republican party can be
passed until that result has been ef-
fected.
While at the coming primaries
desire and should be pleased to receive
the support of all republicans, yet I
firmly believe the principles above
enunciated can be carried forward
best and formulated into law by unit
ing with the progressive element of
our party, with the general principles
of whose platform both state and
national am in hearty accord.
Believing that such a policy would
be acceptable to the republican voters
of South Dakota, frankly announce
my candidacy for congress, subject to
their approval.
Sincerely yours,
