ITY OF ENTERTAINMENT.

High tribute to the hospitality of
the Flandreau ladies of the Eastern
Star was paid today by some thirty
members of the Madison chapter,
Eastern Star, who returned early
this morning from Flandreau, where
a school of instruction was held la 81
night.
About 200 members of the order,
of whom about one-half were resi-
dents of Madison, Colman. Egan and
Dell Rapids, were present. The
school of instruction was directed by
Mrs. Ayers, of Deadwood. grand
worthy matron. The initiatory was
in the charge of the officers OF the
Madison chapter. Music was render
ed by Osborn's orchestra, and a ban
quet was served to 200 in the lobby
of the Masonic hall.
During the day the visiting ladies
were taken for automobile rides
about Flandreau. The entertainment
included a trip through the govern
ment Indian school there.

DEMAND FOR TRAPS
VIE WITH OLDER TRAPPERS
FOR FUR PROFITS.

More than one summer cottage at
Lake Madison this winter will be
converted into a temporary trapping
camp.
Spurred on by reports of the large
number of muskrats infesting lakes
and sloughs in the district. "A number
of schoolboys have decided to devote
a part of their spare time TO trap
ping. Some of those who hope to
share in the large profits hal are ex-
pected to be derived here this win
ter from the proceeds OF the sport.
have arranged TO use summer cot
tages as a base" A majority of
these will leave the city Fridays,
after school hours. and return Sun
day mornings.
Hardware dealers said today that
they do not recall a former season
when steel traps were in as great de-
mand as they have been during the
last two or three weeks. Despite the
fact that there have been rises i'm the
price of traps the most recent ad-
vance within the last thirty days, the
sale of them has rapidly increased, il
Is said. One store which has receiv-
ed two large consignments of traps
already this season, is now complete
ly out of the W most popular sizes.
The traps range in price from $l.35
TO $40 a dozen. according 10 size.
One dealer related that a customer
from the country had assured him
hat he was having good success in
trapping muskrats between his barn
and corncrih. A number OF farmers
have complained that their corn is
being eaten by the animals.
Many old settlers say they are at "a
loss to account for the unprecedented
number of muskrats in the country.
Some advance the theory that their
presence in great numbers Is due TO
the unusually large amount of pre-
cipitation that has fallen here during
the last couple of seasons. Well filled
creeks. sloughs and lakes have, ii Is
believed by some, o only afforded
excellent conditions for propogating.
but have also been the magnets
which have brought animals from
other districts.

The members of the city commits
sion this morning inspected the two
new concrete bridges, one on upper
Egan avenue and the other at the
northwest limits of the city, A chan
mel is being opened east and west of
the Egan venue bridge, a part of
which structure was opened for traf-
fic last week. 1t is probable that the
work of filling in at each approach
to the bridge at the city limits will be
done early next week. 1t was said
that it will probably be a couple of
weeks before the concrete on that
bridge will have hardened sufficient
ly TO permit of heavy traffic.
