That the women will have to look

paration for Easter made by a rapid
ly growing number OF men.
One very noticeable feature is the
widespread popularity of the single

Easter and other Sundays.
The frock is d~isplacing the PRINCE

In cut the tendency is toward

from padded and stiff-fronted coats.

COUNTY MAN
BELIEVED RIVER VICTIM

Hudson, S. D.-A persistent search
which has been prosecuted for sew
eral days by score of men and boys
has failed to find any trace of Emil
Lange, a farmer of the eastern sec
ticn of Lincoln county, who is be-
lieved to have been drowned.
After a visit with his brothers
Simon and Henry he started for his
own farm on horseback. The ice in
the Rock river, which he had to cross,
apparently did not look safe to him,
for after securing his horse to a tree.
where it was found by the merchants,
he evidently attempted to cross the
river on the ice on foot. 1t is feared
he broke through the ice and was
drowned, for since that time not the
slightest trace of him has been found.
The ice in the Hook river was COM
mencing to break up at the time he
evidently tried to cross it and was
very unsafe. High water in the
river and the presence of floating
masses OF ice has made it impossible
to drag the river. When this can be
done it is believed his body will be
recovered.

BROADBENT SALE
AN EPOCH-MARKER
BIC MERCHANDISING EVENT
COMPLETED LAST WEEK
SETS PACE FOR COM
MUNITY.

From several angles. the mammoth
sale completed last week by the
B~roadbent Furniture company was
an epoch-marker and II of the great
est merchandising events ever held
in this part of South Dakota. Need
less to say, the sale was a complete
success from start TO finish.
One OF the greatest achievements
OF the sale was to acquaint the peo-
pic of Mitchell and the surrounding
territory with the immense stock
carried on the four floors of the big
brick block occupied by the Broad
bents. From the chinaware. art and
toy section in the basement floor,
to the rug and carpet department on
the top floor. the big store is equip
ped to furnish everything needed in
The modern home.
The variety and scope Of the line
of merchandise carried in the store
was made known in q way not pas
,sihle previously. Many OF the visit
'ors to the store never knew before
that Il stock of this size existed in
this part CT South Dakota. and that
it Vas necessary to go TO Sioux City
or Minneapolis for the best kinds of
furniture and huse furnishings.
The sale. as conducted by A. b.
Servey. of the Lewis Brothers COM
pany of Minneapolis, also was an
eye-opener i'll another direction. 1t
showed what scientific advertising
can accomplish. More peo-
pie were drawn by the bargains adj
'vertised in this sale than by any
other in recent years in Mitchell.
BY double page. page, and half page
the buying public was kept informed
of the bargains offered from day to
day. and the results proved conclus-
lively the d rawing power of adver-
One notable fact about the
sale was that it wa sadvertised eX-
fiusiyely in The Republican. The city
OF Mitchell and the surrounding trade
territory was covered as could be
in no other medium. There was
no need fer duplication i'll the adver-
Using campaign, as the buying pub
lie of this community comprises the
readers of The Republican. They
have the money to spend they read
the best and they wan the best. 1t
is a theory that was proved abso-
'lutely by the results of hte sale.

none at all, and has five buttons. The
trousers r medium English effect,
hanging in straight lines and having
a narrow cuff.
Hats offer a wide variety; stiff
and sort. In the scft hats a medium
crown with q rolled brim seems a lit
tie ahead in popularity. particularly
among the y7ounger men.
Diagonal stripes, some of them
quite wide. seem to have the call in
the early showings OF spring neck
wear. a large number OF bows, in
mixed c%olors, are being shown.
Everything in shirts seems to in
cline toward plain, soft effects; few
tucks or plaits are shown. 1t looks

MARKET
AIM OF AGENT
AN ORGANIZATION or AGRICuL-
TURAA EXTENSION BODY
SATURDAY, THIS is OUT
LINED.

Better market facilities for farm
products. and With it better prices
for grains and stock. will be the aim
OF an agricultural agent, should one
be chosen to work in Dawson county,
This was outlined in the remarks of
Ward A. Ostrander, of the State col
legc at Brookings, speaking Satur-
day afternoon at the court house.
Along with this object, said Mr..
Ostrander, the county expert would
help the farmers to organize more
closely for their mutual benefit and
to secur q better spirit OF coopera-
ton. All OF these things, he ex-
planned, are as much a part of the
experts duties as the making of soil
analyses or assisting farmers in maxi
ing the right selections for crop TO-
tations.
With Mr.. Ostrander presiding, the
Dawson County Agricultural Extern
sion association was formed. Con-
siderable detail work was done and
the following directors chosen:
Frank Shannon, Rome township; Gus
Swenscn, Tobin township; Il. p. Sand,
Prosper township; j. S. Bonham,
Perry township; Charles Hoelscher
eO"iohsp, oho Ooo hOlI I'd
Beulah township.
Owing to the lateness of the hour,
the meeting was adjourned to a
meeting Of the board of directors the
coming Saturday afternoon at 1880
o'clock, when it will organize, elect
a president, vi~ce-president, secretary
and treasurer.
1t was the scene of the meeting
that the secretary should be select
ed from some township not already
represented on the board of directors.
At this meeting the constitution and
bylaws will be framed. Mr.. Strand
er made it plain that after Wednes-
day, March 81, that he will be avail
able to speak at any meeting or meet
.ings in the county for the next thirty
days, and will be pleased to meet with
any person or persons to go over the
better farming proposition. He can
be addressed at Mitchell for the next
thirty days. or an be reached by
phoning No. 24S4.
