Over eighty plates were laid on three long tables extending from one end of the banquet hall to the other, and every seat was filled bv the craftsmen, their wives, daughters and sisters.

Special Term of Court. Judge J. O. Andrews held a special term of court at Milbank. on the 10th, for the purpose of hearing motions and law questions. But inasmuch as a juris dictional question might arise owiug to the fact that Judge Campbell was hold ing Court at Webster, nothing but non contested matters vrere taken up. The la v taking Day county out of the Third Judicial Circuit has not gone into effect. Judge Campbell is holding the Day County court in Judge Andrews stead, ty consent. The question presents itself, can the Third Circuit hold two terms of court at the same time. Consequently while there was not a large amount of business that could be at tended to, this visit was indicative of the spirit of accommodation ikal has marked the career of Judge Andrews while on the bench, and which Las wen for him the general esteem and good will of all who have had business in his court.
