Dance SOME SUCCESS
LARGE CROWD AT THE ANNUAL
TREATMENTS BALL.

Some dance! That is the best way
to sum up the annual trainmen's ball
held at Huntemer hall last night.
Over $50 couples were present and
danced away a pleasant evening to
the inspiring strains of the Apollo
orchestra. Beyond all doubt il was
the dance of the season."
And it was some dance. 1t began
at 10 o'clock last night and ended at
1870 this morning. Even at that
hour there were several young cou-
pies who wanted lust once more
before they went home. Hardly a
person who went there reports any
thing but a fine time and a desire to
go again.
A crowded hall prevented any
fancy dancing or very much dancing
at all and the whole affair resolved
itself into a good natured pushing
match before the night was Ger, but
then a good bunch having a good
time seldom worries over small mat
tiers.

YEARS AGO.

Yesterday was the th~irty-seyenth
anniversary of the arrival of Com
rade f. b. Kellogg and family in Da-
kota territory. They came from the
White mountains of Vermont and de-
trained al Volga. From there they
trekked across the Brookings county
line and settled on a government land
claim in Lake county and established
their home on the open prairie. For
many year Comrade Kellogg resided
upon the farm, until his family grew
up and separated when he took up
his home in Madison and is living a
life of ease. Referring to the day OF
his arrival, thirty-seyen years ago.
Comrade Kellogg said there was not a
flake of snow on the ground. unlike
present conditions, the air was soft
and balmy, and the trip from Nolga
to their claim was a real pleasure.

new FACTORY HERE
ROGNESS BROTHERS TO BUILD
NEW PLANT ON SECOND
STREET Sc.

Rogness brothers, proprietors of
the Madison creamery. will build a
new one-story brick building on Sec
ond street Sc, the work TO begin May
/. The contract has been let to
James Robertson.
The building will be devoted to the
manufacture of ice cream. pop and
butter. and be modern in every de-
tail both i'm utility and sanitation.
The interior will be finished with
white enamel. The whole structure
will be 50x76 feet.
A downtown establishment for the
manufacture of ice cream is some
thing which Madison has needed for
some time and in meeting this need
the Rogness brothers show their will
ingness to keep pace with the times
in the matter of service and the ia
%cilities for providing it.
This is one of the many city build
ing projects for this summer that
will serve to make Madison a better
town and il deserves the continued
and consistent support of the citizens
who are anxious TO see the city pro-
yided with every modern convenience.
For ONE time the proprietors have
felt the need of a location nearer the
business district. but have been care
full abount announcing the plans I'M
til they were definite. Ground was
cDma months ago hut foO
late az the time 10 build before win
ter set in.
The new factory will probably be
ready for operation by the first of
September or sooner if the work is
not delayed for any reason. No exact
date has been set, but ii is the plan
of the proprietors to have it ready
for use as sOon as il is reasonably
possible.

were sent 10 DR.. Lowe and as he

tractors desiring copies after the
present supply is exhausted must
write TO the office of the supervising
architect. treasury department,
Washington, ID. G. That considerable
interest is being generated at the
prospect of constructing an $50, 900
building is shown by these letters
which DR.. Lowe receives almost daily.
The supervising architect has the
privilege of rejecting all bids, but as
this rarely happens, il is expected
that within two weeks after they are

BISHOP BURLESON
breaches AND CONFIRMS CLASS
AT GRACE CHURCH.

A fine congregation was in attend
ance at Grace Episcopal church last
evening to greet Bishop Burleson

The choir was in full membership
