the table stood large wedding cake
about a foot high and right beside the
cake stood two vases, one on each side
the cake, with pink and white lilies,
and next to the two vases stood other
vases with all kinds of other flowers in
pink and white. Above the center

served to large number of guests.
The presents were many and beauti-
full.
The bride has lived in Minneapolis for
over three years with her brothers and
came to Dakota about three months
ago and is one of the most highly
esteemed young ladies and counts her
friends by her acquaintances.
The groom is one of Sisseton's most
enterprising young business men and
holds the respect of all.
They have hosts of friends whom will
join in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Eagle a
prosperous and happy journey through
life.

School Notes

The school has again resumed it's
regular work. The students in the
high school as we'll as the pupils in the
grades have taken hold of the work in
earnest. A good spirit of work and
attainment pervades the school from
the primary rooms to the senior class
in the high school. All the teachers
have been putting in extra hours get
ting their work adjusted.
The books in the library are being
rearranged and classified and in due
time the library will be indexed The
students of Modern and Medieval His
tory have been busy at this work and
they deserve much credit for the excel
lent condition that now obtains in the
library, though there is much work yet
to be done.
The present enrolment of the high
school is seventy-fve, which is very
satisfactory for this time of year, con-
sidering crop conditions in this part of
the SIdCe. J. he SllIOillliSilt III IilC II ddc5
by unofficial count, is about 325.
1t is desirable that all who may be
contemplating entering the high school,
enroll as soon as possible as it becomes
increasingly difficult to meet the
requirements. The truant law covers
the attendance of most pupils in the
grades. So it would also be well for
all pupils to be enrolled before the
enrolment is checked up with the
cencus list. Sickness is about the only
excuse that will permit pupil to be
out of school. He is not to be kept
out to work.
The school is glad to receive visitors
at all times and in any of the rooms.
This week pleasant calls were received
from Miss Lydia Stearns, Miss Helen
Dulitz, Miss Egge and Mr.. William
Rabak, in the high school, and Misses
Margretta Niebuhr, Irene Smith, Ethel
Marshall and Stella Jones, of Waubay,
in the grades.

The the third annual NEE ting of the
Day County Agricultural Fair Associa-
ton open at the fair grounds in this city
Wednesday, September 9th, in a fine
shower of rain-the weather continued
showery or threatening the remainder
of the week and as consequence the
attendance was small The receipts
for admissions were less than half the
amount of last year.
The exhibits in all departments were
exceptionally fine-much better than
those of former years and demonstrates
that the people of Day county are each
year becoming more interested in the
county fair and are willing and glad
to assist the officers and committees in
bringing in their exhibits. Never have
we seen such an excellent display of
small fruits. The grain and vegetables
by far surprising those of last year,
showing conclusively that although
Day county was hit hard by the drouth
this season, she by no means suffered
a total crop failure.
Prof. Jas. w. Wilson, of the State
Agricultural College, at Brookings,
who was here couple of days and
gave some interesting talks on live
stock breeding, raising and marketing
ON corn culture and methods of select
ing and caring for seed and who acted
as Judge of live stock for the associa-
ton, said in the course of conversation
that Day county had the best all round
exhibit he had seen it the state this
year and one of which her people may
we'll feel proud.
The Webster band furnished some
excellent music both on the streets and
at the fair grounds.
On Thursday night the Dougherty
Stock Company opened Webster's hand
some new play house, Happe & Sons
"Coteau Opera House." (of which we
will have something to say in future
issue) nearly every seat was occupied
and the company gave quite general
satisfaction during its three nights
engagement. The dances after perfor-
mances were well patronized and much
enjoyed by the young folks.
The Ruby had some splendid special
films for the moving picture show each
evening and report satisfactory bus
mess.
Sheelar especially deserving of men,

nance as the hay stack RUDE and slack
wire stunts.
The woman's building and floral hall

ance-with its decorations of grain and
fruits. A large amount of fancy work
and baking were exhibited.

The governors vigorous declaration
against any special appropriations
which necessity did not demand, and
the inclusion in the budget of a suffi-

deficit and thus put the states
finances upon an even keel. met with
the approval Of all who attended the
conference. II Is estimated that even
with the pruning knife wieided un-
sparingly on all appropriations asked,
that the budget will approximate
twelve million dollars. The estimate
OF the state accountant OF prospective
expenses, for the next two years is
311.762I23. He declared that the de-

ant also urged that an emergency fund
OF three houndrcd thousand dollars be
provided. The latter. Of course. may
be defended upon good business
grounds, but under present conditions
the wisdom Of including it in this
