"The modeling in clay was an interesting exhibition, the portraits presented being most effective, and the head of Happy Hooligan provoked a lmrst of laughter and applause.

There was an unusually pleasant social gaiheting at the parlors of Odd Fellows hall last evening, called to eftect a preliminary organization of Lake County Old Settlers' association. Invitations had been issued to residents of the cit}' who were residents here in the year 1880 and prior to that time. Abont seventy five ladies and gentle men retponded to the jinvitations tind an evening of genuine pleasure re sulted. After an hour or two of social enjoy ment, recounting "old times" and re newing tinit close fiiendship which pre vailed when neignbors were few, A. E. Fullei called the meeting to order. Dr. Clough stated the object of the meet ing —to organize an old settlers' asso ciation. On motion of Chas. B. Ken nedy, Col. Win. Lee, the original old settler, was chosen chairman of the meeting and piesident of the temporary association. A. £. Fuller was elected secretary and "J. J. Fitzgerald treas urer. Discnssion ensued on preliminaries and it was decided that the three officers above chosen constitute an ex ecutive committee on i»ermanent organ ization by choosing a vice president from each township in the county also to le recognized as members of the ex ecutive committee. It was decided that as near as could be determined the first white settler located in Lake coun ty June 11. 187(1, and in honor of that event meetings of the Lake County Old Settlers' association be held on June 14 of each succeeding year. A qualifica tion of memlwrship is a residence of twenty five years in the county. This completed the business routine and the company was entertained for a time by John Huntamer who came to Sioux Falls in 18T0, later removing to Lake county, attracted by a young lady who became his wife, this being the fiist marriage celebrated in the county Ladies having the dining room iu charge opened the doors and invited the company to partake of a magnifi cent spread which was enjoyed amid a buzz of happy visiting. At the concln sion of the supjier all present signed the roll of memlership. and the Lake Conn ty Old Settlers association was duly launched. This is an organization which has been contemplated for several years and the gentlemen taking the initiative are to be congratulated upon the success and good cheer of the first meeting. The preliminary meeting ba6 served its time and probably in all the years to come no happier meeting will ever be held, although the picnic days of the future June 14s will be on a larger scale and contribute happiness to thou sands of people in the future years.

D.. dispatch, 5: K. Van Wyland of this place, after a persistent search extending over a period of ten years, succeeded in running down bis erring wife and securing possession of the daughter of the couple, who is now fifteen years of age. Ten years ago the woman eloped. Up to that time she had resided with her husband on a faim near Monroe, while her lover, a man named Houtkoojter. was employed on an adjoining farm. In her flight the woman ok with bet her daughter, then aged five. The couple disappeared and not the slightest trace of them could be found until re cently, when 'they were located on a farm in Rock county, just across the South Dakota line in Minnesota. Actuated by the three fold motive of punishing the man who had ruined his home, his unrequitted love for his wife and his desire to gain possession of his child, he kept up the seaich year after year, and never for a day during those long years was 'his vigilance relaxed. It is said that during his search for the erring wife, her lover and the child, lie sought the aid at some time of prac tically every sheriff in the United States. Van Wyland is wealthy and he freely spent a small fortune in the effort to locate his wife and child. Two years ago fearing that he *might die before' he was able to discover the whereabouts of his wife and child, and that the err ing wife, in the event of his death, might claim a part of the large pioper ty owned by him, he instituted an action fur divorce and was granted a decree.

'He not ed the name of the town, and being aware of the name of the Jman who eloped with the wife ot Van Wyland, promptly notified the husband, who speedily located the couple. In this he WHS assisted by W. Wykstra. a Monroe 'friend. After a parley the woman agreed to surrender the daughter, now grown to young womanhood, and Van Wyland decided not to prosecute his former wife.
