BUYS STOCK in EAST
RETURNS FROM SUCCESSFUL
PURCHASING TRIP-THE
MARKETS ACTIVE.

Mrs. X. Knoeri returned yester-
day afternoon from a purchasing trip
to Chicago and Milwaukee markets,
where she bought her stock of MILL
merry and ready to wear garments for
the fall trade. The markets do not
present any remarkable change from
the conditions of other years at the
same season, buyers from over the
west buying freely, and with little
apparent apprehension of conditions
being disturbed by political or mill
tary activity.
OF styles Mrs. Knoeri says that the
military activity will influence them
somewhat. The military in dress
will not obtain generally. though
there will be extreme models. but for
the greater part other and more
graceful lines will be chosen by the
purchasing public. In fact there is
no radical departure from ordinary
conditions in the styles of dress.
Colors are to be more sober effect,
running largely to grays for winter
wear. There are some new colors
and effects or the market, but they
will not strike to a persons inner
vision with the persistency or

looped the loop with ease and aban-

the machine.
In returning yesterday afternoon
Mr.. Schmidt says that they witnessed
a rainstorm north of Sioux Falls, and
plowed mud for a distance. After a
dry road for a spell, they again pillow
ed mud which was freshly wet. and
again went over dusty and muddy
roads alternately. The three local
showers through the territory of

tent, but of heavy precipitation.

Yesterday afternoon a crew of men

GETS CONTRACT
PLUMBING AND HEATING IN
STATE UNINERSITN-PART
POSTPONED.

r. H. Mayfield secured the con
tract for the plumbing and heating
plant to be installed in the projected
women's dormitory at the university
at Nermillion, involving a sum of
SIT. 500, he said this morning, after
returning from that city. Bids
were asked for the plumbing
and heating work on both this dormi-
tory building and an engineering
building. But through the lack of
sufficient funds the heating and
plumbing of the engineering building
will not be put in before the build
ing itself is completed otherwise, and
although his bid was lowest. il was
not accepted or awarded.
Extensive improvements are plan
ned for the university, judging from
the amount of money represented by
the bids for work. The @. III, Olson
company, of Saltwater, Mimi. was
given the general contract for the
construction of both the dormitory
and the engineering building, the bid
for which was $4,000. 1t was de-
sired rather that both buildings be
completed as to construction than
that the heating be installed in both
and the architectural work be left
but partially done.
Work on the construction will be
commenced at once, Mr.. Mayfield
says. In a few days the e~xcavating
will be begun, but it is not expected
that more than the foundations will
be laid and the walls carried w
some distance before they have To
desist on account of cold weather
If it is possible TO get the work in
closed before the cold weather, they
can continue work during the winter
but with the shortage of help and
the difficulties of transportation il il
scarcely to be hoped.
The heating plant will be of the
kind known as the steam
system, similar to that in use at the
Normal at Madison, which is consid
cred the best where heat is conduct
ed for some distance. Mr.. Mayfield's
work will not be active until spring
He also estimated for bids on the
new high school building at Messing
ton Springs, but a local man was
awarded the work.

Home GUARD
DRILL AND ARE DETAILED FOR
PATROL DUTY-STATE
GETS RIFLES.

The local volunteer home guard
met again last night at the high
school auditorium in numbers almost
equal to those of the initial meeting.
After the dismissal there were sew
eral new names added to the roll,
making the total enrollments some
thing approaching IT'S men.
Capt. Robertson called the mems
attention to the gravity of the wal
situation. He says that within the
next two years there will be an in
sistent call for any man who has had
military experience and has accumu-
lated more than 80 years of this
worlds experience. He laid special
emphasis in this connection on the
desirability of men who had seen
service in the war of 1898. He will
himself set his house in order, so
arranging his affairs this winter as
TO be ready for a call TO go at the
country's call.
Information was also communicat-
ed that the press dispatches of yes
terday contained a note that the war
department had apportioned to this
state for home guard use 500 Spring
field rifles, and "a limited amount of
ammunition and equipment. Capt.
Robertson urged the enlarging OF
membership to this organization. for
ii will undoubtedly be upon the ear-
nestness and numerical strength of
the various home guard bodies that
the apportionment of arms to the
different towns will be based. And
if there is to be a home guard, ii is
desirable that they have the arms.
both for the drill in their use as a
military body, and for use in case of
extreme necessity.
1t was again necessary to divide
the men into two platoons on account
of lack of room. Elementary drills
in assembling, counting off and col
umn formation were practiced. Many
of the khaki men of the real outfit
at the Normal were present and
watched the proceedings with inter
est. 1t must have carried their mem
cries back a couple of months, when
they. too. were learning to left

Squad movements have undergone
changes since the instructors of the
home guard were in the ranks.
