Chris Grue Sick

Chris Grue, the efficient county audi
tor, who is a candidate for renomina-
ton for that Office on the republican
ticket, was taken quite seriously i'll
about a month ago. About two weeks
ago he was taken to the city hospital
where operations were performed for
gall stones and appendicitis by DR.. I.
N. Kjerland assisted by a doctor from
Minneapolis. Mr.. Grue is recovering
very nicely from the operations, much
better than his friends, knowing the
seriousness of his case, had hoped for.
but it is a sure thing he will not be able
to leave the hospital before the primar-
les to give any attention to his cam
paign. His friends realizing this are
making a special effort in his behalf.

The Farewell Reception

In response to invitations a large
majority of Webster's citizens, ladies
and gentlemen, met Friday evening,
at the rest rooms of Coteau opera
house, to say g oodby to Miss Alma
Aldrich, who had been one of the most
efficient and popular teachers in the
Webster high school for the past three
years.
The rooms had been tastely and
prettily decorated with blossoms of
lilac and wild cherry presenting a beau
tiful ~spfinglike appearance.
Several ladies stood with Miss Aid
rich in the receiving lineand assisted
in introductions.
A vocal solo was rendered by Miss
Emma Ledahl accompanied by Miss
Margreat Wist on the piano. Both the
ladies added to their already great
popularity with music lovers.
Miss Ledahl and L. w. Bicknell fav-
ored the party with a well rendered
vocal Duet, Miss Visit a~ccompanist.
The last musical number or the pro-
gram was a carefully selected and very
skilfully rendered violin solo by Mr..
Mr.. Antonio Laborro with Miss Ford
at the piano.
AT the close of the program William
Small, one of the graduates of 1912, on
behalf of the pupils of the high school,
in a few very appropriate remarks pre-
sented Miss Aldrich with half a dozen
Sterling silver spoons and a Sterling
belt buckle. The lady responded in a
very feeling manner.
During the evening fruit punch was
served from under two bowers formed
of lilacs and wild cherry blossoms.
While all present were very sorry
Miss Aldrich was leaving Webster and
would not return next year, yet they
we're glad of the opportunity thus pre-
sented to tell her so and wish her God
speed wherever she shall choose her
next location. The evening vas very
much enjoyed by all present.
One pathetic part of the evening and
very complimentary to the lady in
whose honor the reception was held, was
that very few of the young people who
had been her pupils could restrain their
tears.

BOB LAFOLLETTE HERE
THE LITTLE GIANT FROM
THE BADGER STATE
SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE
Comes on Early Evening Train
and Talks Over an Hour
Flags the Trusts and Con-
dennis heUnnecessary
High Cost of Living

Robert M. LaFollette, United States
senator from Wisconsin and a candidate
before the republican primaries for the
presidency, arrived in Webster yester-
day afternoon shortly before five o'clock
accompanied by R. o. Richards, who is
a candidate for the position of United
States senator before the primaries in
this state. The party was met at the
depot by A. o. Chilson and taken by
automobile to the Coteau opera house
where they were greeted by the largest
crowd which had ever assembled there
to hear a political speaker.
County Judge S. M. Duggan in his
usual accomplished manner introduced
the speaker.
Mr.. LaFollette Immediately showed
the audience that he was thoroughly in
earnest in his campaign and that he
honestly believes he is the Moses to lead
the people out o. the bondage of the
trusts tina he claims now rule and gov.
ern this country. He said that when
Roosevelt assumed the presidency there
were l49 trusts and that had he so
desired Theodore could have called in
his attorney general and United States
district attorneys and put them all out
OF business. On the contrary that when
Mr.. Roosevelt left the white house there
were 1920 trusts sapping the life out of
the American republican republic by
increasing the cost of living and reduc-
ing wages. There has been no speaker
in Webster who has made such a good
impression in favor of any candidate as
the Wisconsin senator did tor himself.
The audience just hung for every word
as it fell from his lips and deep was
the regret when the fast train came
along and he had to cut his speech short
in order to fulfill his appointment at
Aberdeen last evening. 1t is admitted
on all sides by all factions that he made
votes for himself.
LaFollette's parting shot was one at
Senator Crawford when he said: "When
the progressive republicans of South
Dakota select another United States
senator / hope they will choose a pro-
g~ressive."

senior class of the Webster high school.
A large and expectant audience gath
cred to honor the occasion and to bid

a solo by Miss LeDahl, which was very
appropriate and well rendered, the singer
responded splendidly to an encore after
which Supt. Simmons introduced DR..
A. E. jerks of the university of Mime
sofa as the orator of the evening. The
speaker began by congratulating the
class upon the fine record each had
made and referred to a very remarkable
fact, that every member of the class
intended to pursue advanced work in
our advanced institutions of learning.
The~speaker then discussed at some
length the general theme, "The Ameri-
can People, " Analysing the various races
that make up our cosmopolitan citizen
ship, asserting in conclusion that the
commingling of these diverse nationali-
ties would eventually make the United
States, the most remarkable nation of
modern times, exhorting the gradual
ing class, in his final words, to exercise
themselves in taking a conspicuous place
in this growing republic.
At the CONCLUSION of the address Miss
Aldrich favored the assemblage with
several fine piano solos and Mr.. Bicknell
followed with a number of we'll rendered
and carefully interpreted vocal selec-
tons, after which Supt. Simmons in a
few well chosen words to the audience
and then to the graduates, presented
diplomas to the following students:
Orlando M. Chilson, Ruby c. Cowie,
Bessie M. Efnor, Cora Gross, Jessie C..
Hastings, Judith Hogberg, Ethel Hut

Ray.Miller Nuptia1s

The many friends Of Miss Anna Ray
in this city, and they are numbered by
our population, were very much sur
prised on Sunday morning to learn that
she had been married the evening before
at Aberdeen by Rev. Glessner to Almo
Miller, of Ortley.
The bride is the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J.. E. Ray of this city, and
was born in Day county and has spent
all her life here. A few years ago she
graduated from the Webster schools
with honors. She then took a course
in the Normal school at Madison where
she graduated with distinction. Since
leaving the normal she has spent the
school months in successful teaching.
Mrs. Miller is a young woman of many
accomplishments and also just the one
to make an ideal home, having a very
thorough knowledge of housekeeping.
Mr.. Miller is a prosperous young
farmer located near OrtIey and is very
highly spoken of by those who enjoy
his acquaintance as n of the kind
whose industry, tact and thrift closely
applied are doing so much to make
South Dakota the most prosperous state
in the union.
The Reporter and Farmer joins with
all the Day County and Ortley relatives
and friends in the hope that the young
couple will never strike any breakers
on the sea of matrimony and that their
sailing will be under clear skies and
Ger a smooth sea.

Lightning Kills a Horse

During the heavy rain and ele ctrical
storm at Grenville last Wednesday
right, a bolt of lightning struck a
valuable horse belonging to Anton
Block and it was found dead the fol-
lowing morning. Just at this time
when the spring work is on and every
pound of horse flesh is needed this is
quite a loss and one that Mr.. Block
will find hard to repair as there are
few if any heavy horses for sale at
this time of the year in Day county.
