A Unique Entertainment.

Sioux Falls.-The senior boys of
the Sioux Falls high school have
hit upon a plan of entertainment
for the senior girls and faculty
of the high school, which is de-
cidedly unique and characteristic of
this class in its originality. 1t is to
If the information contained in the
hand bills a be relied upon this will
be the greatest exhibition of local tai
ent and wonders ever displayed in the
city. Among the long list of curiosi-
ties and attractions are found
"Swampy Dora-she eats mud"
Dancing Liz-direct from the court of
Cleo" THE Flying Dutchman's
Slide for Life" "Alexander's Ragtime
Band" Imperial Musical Mckee,"
Bloody Bob and Picked Pete-'Nuff
Sed;" "Johanna-the Gorilla Girl"
Renowned Wireless Wesley" 1t
must not be thought that the side
shows or free attractions are all that
there is to the show. The menagerie
as announced is to be the largest and
most complete that has ever been
brought here. With 20 elephants, 20
camels, 10 hippopotami, l do do bird,
l brontosaurus, 2 s"tegogosaurus, l tes-
tude eiephantima, 1 matamata, 1 Zon-
urus %gigantius and 8 tupinambis nigro-
ponotatus. In can really be seen that
this is of unusual character and mag
nitude.

COUNTRY THAT IS SHORELESS
Bolivia the Third Republic Of South
America, is Without a Water
Boundary.

la Paz, Bolivia.-Iu territorial ex-
tent, Bolivia stands third among the
republics of South America and is one
Of the two without a seaport. Her
natural outlet to the Pacific ocean was
taken by Chill at the end of the war OF
the Pacific, and today she is shut of
from the sea like Switzerland. La
Paz, Oruro, and Potosi are all cities
standing over 10000 feet above the
level OF the sea, says the Christian
World. Bolivia's economic advance
during recent years has been note
worthy, particularly in the line of rail-
road extension. La PaZ, Lake Utica
ca, Oruro, and Potosi are all linked
with Antofagasta On the Pacific coast,
and express trains carry passengers
from La Paz, the capital, to Antofagas-
ia on the sea-coast in two days.
Three centuries of Spanish domina-
ton and nearly a century of political
independence have done little to pro-

st. Moritz, Switzerland.-There are
an infinite variety of ways of spend
ing the winter in Switzerland. You
can go to a great and luxurious hotel,
where you fare sumptuously every
day, where the hall porter is a gilt
edged cosmopolitan, and you drive up
from the station in a motor sleigh; Of
you can just as we'll go to a tiny chalet
perched on the mountain side, where
you never know which floor you are
on at any moment, because the slope
is so great that what you took to be
the ground floor at one side of the
hotel turns out to be half way to the
roof when you look out at the other.
But wherever you go-to a palace at
st. MORT or to a coy little gast-haus
lost among the mountains, go in a
party. There are some things in life
90 riotously jolly to be enjoyed alone.

from Aberdeen with Harry H%alpenny,
a married man, is now in the county
Jail, to await the action of the cir
cult court on a charge of adultery.
H%alpenny eluded the officers at Sioux
and escaped. The authorities here be-
lieve, however, that he will soon be
captured, as he hasn't much money,
if any. Mrs. Halpenny, who gave
birth to a child at a local hospital
here shortly after her husband desert
ed her, is getting along nicely now, al
though for a time her life was de-
SPARED Of. The Hass girls bond was
fixed at $1,000, which she could not
furnish. She is. a domestic, unattrac-
tive in appearance, and acquaintances
of Halpenny are at a loss to under
stand his %infatuation for the girl, a
fascination so great he deserted his
young wife to fee with her.

Question of Validity.

Aberdeen.-Legal authorities differ
as to whether the proposed issue OF
$4,000 in bonds for the purpose Of
constructing a new city hall in Aber-
deem carried or was defeated at the
municipal election on Tuesday. The
bonds carried by 2S1 majority, but
less than $500 votes were cast out of
a registration of 2,40O, and some legal
lights claim a state supreme court de-
cision holds a bond proposition must
have a majority of the electors of the
city, not merely a majority of those
who voted. In that event, the bond
proposition is defeated.
