Titanic Widow Gets Money.

Minnie Eckstrom of Ellington,
and her three small children are
to receive $2,827.33 which is the
share apportioned them from the
fund collected by the New York
American for those dependent
on victims of the Titanic disaster.
When news of the sinking of the
Titanic and the loss of her hus-
band reached Mrs. EckstrOm it
was a sad hour indeed. With
her six children from 2 to 18
years of age to care for and a
large mortgage on her $50 acre
farm she hardly knew which
way to turn. Clarence Croal,
now an attorney, son of j. p.
Croal, editor of the Sisseton
Courant, took up the case and
funds were secured from the
Red Cross Relief Society to tide
the family over temporarily and
pay off the mortgage on the farm.
The money from the Hurst fund
will be invested for the education
of the children but will be pay
able to them in five years.-Sum-

This band is one of the best in

one of the largest dances in the

The music was furnished by that

This newspaper agrees with
the suggestion made by someone
that the doing away of the back
stamping letters by the post
Office department was the wrong
thing to do from the standpoint
of the public. The saving of
time formerly devoted to this
task is the Only argument in
favor of the change, while it pre-
vents the public from ascertain
ing where the blame for the de-
lay of letter mail should rest.
If letter is back stamped upon
it's receipt by the local postoffce
the recipient knows whether the
delay should be charged to the
receiving Office or to the mail
clerks on the route over which
the letter has come.-Troquois

Not a Bad Suggestion.

The Wilmot Republican thinks
that it might be well to see Rob-
erts county first, and See
Roberts County First" should
become the war cry of every
woman and child living within
the limits of the county. Be-
sides being one of the best agri-
cultural and diversified farming
counties in the state, it's undevel-
oped scenic resources are mani
fold. Thousands of dollars are
being spent annually for the
construction of roads across the
county in every direction for
people to get out of the county,
but nothing is being done to
develop the natural resources
within the county, nor for build
ing roads to get from one place
to the other within the county.
Roberts county has a number
of lakes and would become a
regular paradise and the west
shore of Big Stone lake would
become a mecca of summer re-
sorts if little money was ex-
pended in development.
A road from the north to the
south end of the county, follow
ing Traverse and Big Stone lakes
as near as practicable would be
one of the finest things this coun-
ty ever undertook. Miles of
good road is already maintained
by some of the lake townships
and a very good scenic high
way" could be built at nominal
cost.
There are number of summer
resorts along both lakes, but the
roads leading to them, on the
Roberts county side, are unde-
veloped. which is poor encourage
ment and a most decided invita-
tion for outside people to remain
away. The Roberts county side
has always been the most popular
on account of the afternoon shade
but the Minnesota side invari-
ably gets the patronage simply
because the roads are better
developed.
Of course, this is merely one
of the many ways of inducing
people to "See Roberts County
First" Dozens of others may
be advanced, but concentration
and cooperation in the interest
of the county is first necessary.
Development within our own
county is of interest to every
man in it and an invitation for
sightseers to "see it," while a
developed road straight through
only benefits through travellers
and very few along it's route.
Let US develop our natural re-
sources.

There is a rumor to the effect
that the name of j. F. Kelley,
WHO it was considered had a

postmaster at Aberdeen, has
been quietly withdrawn by
President Wilson and may not

Through the confession of two

er in the Jump OF country. He
proceeded to entertain Clayton
when the latter came to town
and under the influence of drink,
it is said that Clayton loosened
up and told Of the operations of
the gang, duplicating Tokolo,
who, when arrested, claimed
that the head of the gang is H.
A. Gilbert, a former we'll known
and respected resident of Belle
Fourche, who was at one time
county Judge and at another
states attorney Of Butte county.
Tokolo claimed that Gilbert
financed the gang, which would
seize horses and take them to
New England, N. D., which is a
horse market, and sell them.
Clayton disappeared right after
his alleged confession. Tokolo
is under 81 900 bonds at Buffalo
and Gilbert, who is also under
bonds for other offenses, was
bound over to the district court
at Bowman, N. d., where he is
awaiting bail.

CHAUTAUQUA
OPENED MONDAY
The Parade One of Best Ever
Seen in the State.

Inc nrSt annual SlSSetOn Chau.
tauqua opened under auspicious
conditions Monday. June 80, and
will continue the entire week.
AS advertised. the Boosters
Committee. working in ccnnec-
tion with the Commercial Club,
lived up to their reputation es-
tablished in their big excursion
trip and did themselves proud
in the splendid parade which they
staged for the people of the town
and surrounding community.
Monday forenoon practically
every business house in town
and many of our surrounding en=
terprising farmers took part in
the mile-long parade either in
autos or otherwise, which dazzled
the eyes of the spectators as the
various dainty and artistically
decorated floats passed swiftly
before their view. We wish it
were possible to go into extended
detail of every enhibit made, but
both time and space forbid.
However we can say that nothing
like it was ever before seen in
Sisseton, whether by local COM
mittees or travelling shows. The
memory of it will remain with
US all for many a day.
The Chautauqua proper opened
Monday afternoon with a concert
by the Meistersingers Male Quar-
tette whose splendid voices and
novel organ chimes delighted a
large and enthusiastic audience.
The evening concert was given
by them also, in addition to the
lecture by DR.. Thos. McClary,
whose Irish wit and humor kept
the large audience in convulsions
throughout the evening and left
with them many pleasant men,
cries of both the lecture and the
lecturer.
Tuesday afternoon Father
Thos. B. Tierney, the poet-priest
held spell-bound for over an
hour an interested audience in
his great lecture, "The Morals of
the Nation. In addition to
Father Tierney the Price Concert
Company entertained the au-
dience with vocal and instru-
mental selections on piano, cello,
violin, cornet and saxaphones,
interspersed with readings dur
ing both afternoon and evening.
At the time of going to press
Ole Theobaldi, the great Nor
wegian violinist, and the Inter-
national Grand Concert Company
entertained the people. Further
details of program will appear in
next issue.
We are also glad to report the
financial success of the Chautau-
qua, which at this time is prac.
tically assured. The Commercial
Club is to be congratulated and
the people thanked. for the way
the former have handled it, and
the latter have responded nobly in
the sale of season tickets and the
general support of the Chautau-
qua, which we all hope will be-
come a permanent feature in our
community.
