lent NEXT Week
SPECIAL SERVICES WILL BE
HELD In CATHOLIC AND
EPISCOPAL CHURCHES.

Next Wednesday, on which day
Lent will be ushered in, will witness
the suspension of many social actiy-
tiles. Some church organizations and
members are endeavoring TO meet
social obligations before the Lenten
season arrives.
The strictest observance of Lent
will be in the Catholic and Episcopal
churches. Both these churches will
hold special services during the forty
day period of abstemiousness.
Ash Wednesday in the st. Thomas
church will occur the annual distri-
button of ashes, symbolical of the
Biblical teaching that man came from
dust and that TO dust he shall return.
The ashes distributed in the churches
are obtained by the burning of palm
branches. These branches were
blessed on Palm Sunday, last year,
and kept for use next Wednesday.
During Lent there will be special
services at the Episcopal and Cath
Ollie churches every Friday night.

ing arguments by tine attorneys Ia

half hours, and a verdict vas arrived
at at about 3 o'clock in the evening.

Ornamental fence
IMPROVEMENTS AT GRACELAND
CEMETERY-RECORD SHOWS
MORTALITY RATE is DE-
CREASING.

Work is to be commenced next
month on the construction of an or
namental fence on the east side of
the new addition TO Graceland Gem
etery. The fence, which will replace
the present wire fencing on the east
side Of the addition, will be of braid
ed wire, with iron standards. Near
the center of the new fence will be
constructed the second main entrance
to the cemetery. The new driveway
gate will be of iron, IA feet high.
On either side will be an ornamental
iron gate for pedestrians. 1t is ex-
pected to have the fence and gates
erected by the forepart of May.
That the mortality rate in Madison
and vicinity is decreasing is evil
denced by the fact that notwithstand-
ing the community's steady growth
in population, there were fewer
burials in Graceland cemetery last
year than during any but year
since Delano Greene became sexton
in 1909. A record kept by Mr..
Greene shows burials as follows:
Last four months of 1909, 10; 1910,
As; 1911, "A; 1912, SO; 1913. 81;
1914, so; 1915, 38; two months in
1916, 3. Interments since the begin
ming of 1916 have been at the rate
of Is a year.

Two KILLED
LOCOMOTIVE AND TWO CARS
PLUNGE THROUGH BRIDGE
ON SOUTH DAKOTA
CENTRAL.

Two men were almost instantly
killed, and two passenger cars
caught on fire this morning, when a
locomotive, drawing a southbound
passenger train on the South Dakota
Central railway plunged through a
bridge near Thomas station, about
ten miles south of WATERFOWL.
News of the disaster was contained
in a long distance telephone message
received by The Daily Leader this
afternoon from WATERFOWL.
While a report coming earlier from
Sioux Falls was to the effect that the
engineer and fireman had been killed,
the first information received at Wa
tertown indicated that a mail clerk
and a travelling salesman lost their
lives. Their names could not be
learned.
The train was travelling at a rate
of about forty miles an hour. The
mail and baggage cars are said to
have gone down with the engine.
Two day coaches remained on the
track. The mail car burned. and IL
was rumored that the coaches had
taken fire. The number OF persons
injured, if any, vas not learned.

PENDANT.

Present indications are that the
only night session of the present
term of the circuit court will be held
tonight TO try the case of Will A.
Fenton against A. w. Dykins, the
only suit on the calendar that has
not been disposed Of.
Proving to the satisfaction of a
jury that he was drunk when he
signed a note for $S1.40 resulted in
the returning of a verdict in favor of
the defendant in the case brought
late yesterday afternoon by +. j.
Karlen against Henry Croisant. Croi-
SAINT testified that he affixed his sig
nature to the contested note in a barn
at Artesian at a time when he was SO
completely under the influence of Ii

MIDWINTER FESTIVAL
YOUNG ENTERTAINERS AT NOR
ENCE BY FINISHED WORK.

In variety, execution and general
excellence, the games, dances and
costumes which featured the annual
Midwinter Play festival last night at
the State Normal school clearly out
shone the fruits of the best endeavors
at former praiseworthy festivals here.
The entertainment vas held i'm the
Normal school gymnasium.
The tiny tots afforded much amuse-
ment and merited the genuine ap-
plause accorded them. The inter
mediate grades showed an increas-
ing ability in self control and bodily
poise.
One of the most perfect displays of
poetry of motion was given by the
girls of the fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth grades of the training depart
ment.
The junior girls gave some very
excellent numbers, among which the
Thanksgiving dance was especially
meritorious.
The special features were of un-
usual beauty and i%ntricacy. Misses
Fischer, Unzelman, MCGEE and Coch-

Dutch and Hungarian dances.
The old time minuet style of dance,
eXemplified by the group of young
ladies and gentlemen from the senior
class was a very pretty and most diff
ficult feature of the program. The
comparison of this dance with the
modern one-step placed the latter in
a very ~unenyiable light.
The Greek dance by senior girls
was especially pretty and spectacular.
A pretty event of the evening was
bouquet of beautiful red roses by
the senior girls.
Too much credit cannot be given
Miss futile for the able generalship
with which she conducted the even
ing's entertainment. The excellent
and perfect training eXemplified by
every class from the kindergarten
class up was proof of most careful
and effective training in the depart
ment of games under Miss Tuttle's
management.
Following the impressive ensemble
of participants, the Normal training
department "Sayages" played a live
game of basket ball with the seventh
and eighth grades of the city schools.
The final score was 5 to 2 in favor of
the "Sayages." Both teams were
well organized and the team work
deserves especial mention and would
do credit TO Wagner's or Dyer's
champions.
The Normal orchestra furnished
music for the opening number and
entrance march. Miss June Toohey
presided at the piano for the special
dances, and Mrs. Brady had charge
of the yictrola for the games.
1t is estimated that 500 or 500 peo-
pie were present, probably the larg-
est crowd that has ever gathered in
the gymnasium at any previous event.
