Surprise Party.

Last Monday evening Mrs. Susie
Davis invited the baud boys to her
residence, and after they were seated
in the sitting room, sent q messenger
summoning her husband, who was
running the electric light machinery,
home at once. Grant went home in
q hurry, supposlng something serious
was the matter. When be opened the
door and saw his companions ready
to receive him. ne did not know
whether to run or make a charge, but
finally chose the latter. For once he
had been caught mapping. Mrs. Davis
informed him that the guests were
present to celebrate his birthday.
Grant said he was sorry that he could
not tell the boys how old he was, but
explained that he was born either in
1865 or 1866, and that his parents
were 30 interested in the affairs OF the
rebellion that they had forgotten to
record the year of his birth. Ever
since there has been a dispute in the
family regarding his age. Mrs. Davis,
assisted by Mesdames Phillips, Lock
wood, Walker and MISS McGreen, had
prepared an elaborate feast, which
was relished by the band boys. After
q season OF social chat, the band went
out doors and gave a short serenade.
All in all it was an enjoya yable occasion
and one which will be remembered by
those present.

South Dakota at tho Palace.

Wednesdays Daily Sioux City
Journal contained very we'll written
description of the South Dakota ex-
bibit at the Corn Palace. The journal
says:
"Tnere is perhaps no group of ex-
hibits In all the Palace that gives rise
to so much pleasant astonishment as
that of the six South Dakota counties
that have sent samples OF their pro.
ducts to the great harvest festival or
the northwest. Especially does this
seem true il the case of visitors from
the east aud south who all their lives
have associated the name OF Dakota
with the cold-way signals and inflated
famine reports and Sioux Indians.
These misguided ones stand in open
eyed wonder before the heaped up
evidences of peace and plenty, and
speculate as to the possibility OF these
fruits, cereals and vegetables having
grown to such splendid maturity In
alternately frost-bound and drought
parched home of the blizzard and
barbarian. They see gathered here
fruits, vegetables that they had sup.
posed were peculiar to semi.troplcs,
grain and fruits that they supposed
we're strangers above the parallel, and
usually by the time they have ex
amined them critically, taken the
affidavits of the exhibitors that they
were really grown in Dakota, they 60
away feeling that they have been un-
appreciative of the good qualities Of
the big twin that made her bow to
Uncle Sans household less than a
year ago"
In speaking OF the exhibit of the
South Dakota Agricultural College,
the Journal states:
Interesting from another stand
point is the exhibit made by the
Brookings Agricultural College. These
are cases in which are illustrated the
growth into the soil OF the various
fruit and forest trees, and also sap
lings or the different varieties of forest
trees that had been found on expert
ment to flourish on Dakota soil.
Among them are maple, silver birch,
popular, wild cherry, yellow birch,
cottonwood, ash, Scotch fir, pine,
white elm and box elder. In the
same exhibit are some thirty varieties
OF corn, all OF which have been found
to do well in Dakota"
People who have visited the Palace
from this locality state that no other
department draws larger crowd
than the South Dakota exhibit. 1t
win prove one of the best advertise
ments this state has ever received.

Farewell Services.

The Baptist church was crowded to
it's utmost capacity on Sunday even
ing, it being the occasion of the fare
we'll sermon of Rev A. M. Duboc, who
for the past two years has presided so
satisfactorily over that congregation.
The sarmon was one OF Mr.. Duboc's
best efforts and and was appropriate
ly interesting and instructive. He
was assisted by Revs. A. M. Work. OF
the Presbyterian, and +. HI. Wheeler,
OF the M. E. churches Of this city, who at
the close in q few timely and we'll
chosen remarks, bid the retiring
clergyman God speed and success in his
new field of labor. Mr.. Duboc and
family will be greatly missed from the
city's church and social circles, but it
hoped that wherever their lot may
be cast that success aada prosperity
may attend them. The REGISTER
takes pleasure in commencing Elder
Duboc to the community in which he
will labor, as an able sermonizer, q
tireless and energetic worker tor
christian progress and development.

EDITOR REGIsTER:-
! wish to correct, over my own
signature, some mlsstatements that
are made and used in the county.
That at the state convention at
Mitchell in August, l was present and
participated in d caucus OF John K.
CANDLES friends, and nominated Mr..
Gamble for congress, and that Rev.
Fielder was present and said he was
surprised that l should nominate q
anyone other than q strict pro-
hibitionist. / knew nothing Of any
such caucus, was not present at any,
nor q participant therein. Whether
Rev. Fielder was present at any such
caucus or not, ! do not know, but l
very much doubt it.

fight" of this county into the state
convention by using the language in
referring to Mr.. Parker, che is q repre-
sentative OF the Peace delegation from

Republican County Convention.

Tomorrow will be an eventful day
in the history of the county. Never
has there been more at stake
since it's organization. The re-
publican county convention will place
in nomination a set OF candidates for
the consideration OF the voters of
Brookings county. On the success in
the wise selection of those candidates
depends the swslling or decrease of the
republican vote OF the county. From
the present outlook the farmers will
secure the bulk of candidates for the
different Offices. We especially hope
that wisdom will guide the delegates
in the nomination of the legislative
ticket. Select good men who will be
a credit to the county and the state
at large. Make no mistakes gentfe-
men in anv detail entrusted to your
care. So far the campaign has been q
clean one,-now do your part well.

Our State Educational Institution ).

The writer was q resident OF the
State OF Wisconsin when the State
NoI NAL schools we're being established
and listened to and read the ridiculous
statements made by opponents OF
those institutions OF learning. Some
people said the money was being use
Iessly expended in their establishment
and maintenance. and for several
years their complete efficiency was re-
tarded by their enemies, but the peo-
pie of that State point with pride to-
day to those same temples OF educa-
tion. and the graduates from those
schools are able to cope with the best
educators or business men in the land
The educational institutions OF
South Dakota are havins the same
ordeal to pass through that the
Normal schools of Wisconsin did.
Enemies of the city in which state
institution is located, will seek to
destroy its efficiency by heeping abuse
upon the faculty and the man agement
oil the same. At times there may be
grounds for friendly criticism, because
mistakes will occur during the early
history Of new institution, which
are as aggravatingt to the management
as to those on the outside, and even
more perplexfng.
Friendly criticism often times proves
to be of great benefit, but insinuations
never have brought. and never will
bring about good results. To make
the public believe that something -
going to be unearthed, which will crush
the etfectivness of the management
and cause disaster TO our public insti.
tutions, seem like ecowardice. lfthere
Is anything to be unsarthed "trot it
out" Censure the guilty parties. Do
not try to damage the institution by
holding a bugaboo up before the pub
lie and keep everybody in "hot water"
with the terrible threat that lust you
wait until we get ready to swoop
down on someone"
AS we said before, evils will creep in,
mista will be made and no doubt
money may be spent in manner
which seems to be unnecessary to an
outsider, but matters will right them.
selves, and those who are now causing
the public to distrust the ability and
integrity OF the management will see
wherein they might have accomplished
more by making an open and friendly
criticism OF those matters, which, to
them, seemed wrong and detrimental
to the institution which they stigma
tized. We believe in defending our
state institutions as we would our
state government, and endeavor to
bultd up rather than tear down any
of the undameptal Drinclr,les of our
we'll being.

Sad Death.

Mr.. Geo. Watson, formerly OF Elk
ton. this county, died at Lamoure,
N. d., Saturday, Sept. 9th. The re-
mains were brought to Elkton, where
the funeral services were conducted by
Rev. 0. H. Sproul, of this city.
Sad circumstances were connected
with Mr.. Watson's death. His family
were i'll at Elkton, and his wife was
not present when he died as his son
was at the point of death at Elkton.
The remains OF the deceased were
taken to Cincinnati for lnterment,
Theo. Meyer accompanying them east.
Beautiful floral decorations adorned
the casket, prominent among which
was an "anchor," the gift oi the
president of the Northwestern Aid AS
sociation, of Minneapolis, of which
company Mr.. Watson was a promi-
nent agent.

Prairie Fire.

Wednesday afternoon a prairie fire
was started from the sparks of a
freight engine, in the southeastern
part OF the city on vacant plat of
land. The weeds and grass were quite
heavy and a strong southeast wind
drove the flames rapidly toward the
residence portion. The fire alarm was
sounded and q large number of men
went to the rescue. BY starting q
back fire and plowing fire break, the
progress of the flames was checked
and no damage resulted. 1t was q
close call however. and it is hoped
proper precautlon will be taken to
prevent repetition of even ''scare"
from some other quarter.

Coming Our Way.

A gentleman living twenty five miles
north of Brookings was in this city
Wednesday, and bought nearly q
hundred dollars worth OF goods of one
of our merchants. He said it paid
him to come here as he had SO much
larger stocks to select from, and that

Some traveIing men were IN group
at one OF the hotels the other day
and in their conversation they all
agreed that Brookings county took

looks bright and busting and every

NJ. K. Conference.

The annual conference OF the NJ. E.

at Mitchell next week. Rev. f. H.
Wheeler states that he will start for
conference on Monday and that those
who wish to attend can make the trip
for one and one fifth fare. Next Sun
day will be the last OF this conference
year. Mr.. Wheeler has made many
friends outside OF bis church, and has
the esteem OF his co-workers in the
church, and it is to be hoped that he
and his estimable wife may be per-
mitted to remain with us another
year at any rate.

Henry HinckIey, OF Huron, and w. A..
Buxton, of Pierre, the latter being q
candidate on the state ticket, for
superintendent OF public instruction.
The attendance was very meager,
about ten OF the faithful beng present
and nearly as many republicans. The
lack of attendance was undoubtedly
due to the fact that the meeting was
not we'll advertised.

his prosperity. while Welding power a. the
ruling master mind Of the greatest empire
on the European continent. he earned the
title Of the Iron Chancellor a. much By the
sternness Of his demeanor toward ill Who
approached him - BY the vigor OF his
foreign policy. During his stay this week
ct Kissingen. and subsequently, .. HON.
burg, on his way back 10 varzin, the ex-
chancellor has unbended. He has been
the object Of enthusiastic demonstrations
20 which he was formerly averse, but which
he now not only receives. but welcomes. On
Thursday. after leaving the house of Pro
lessor Becker. whose wife had been bis
hostess when he resided in Frankfort,
tnirty-Gve years ago, hundreds of ladies'
awaited him in the street. presenting him
with flowers. He gracefully accepted these
bouquets and seemed grateful for the very
slightest mark Of homage, which in days
gone by he was wont to treat with the
sternest contempt Every one who ap-
proaches him seek1 70 carry away some
souvenir. Aware Of this. Bismarck now
carries about with him dozens Of photo

and without words Of dedication.
