BROOKINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY JANUARY 23 1891
WORLDS FAIR.
Mass Convention Called to be Held At
Pierre February 4.

South Dakota must be represented
creditably at the Columbian exposi-
tion or Worlds fair, to be held in
Chicago In 1898. 1t is regarded as
impracticable for the state to assume
the burden of providing and arrang-
ing such An exhibit. The work must
be done by the commonwealth. Sew
eral plans therefore have been pro.
posed. A discussion OF them, by rep
resentatives from all parts of the state
would quite certainly result in ar.
rangements which would enable O.
creditable and worthy display to be
made. At a meeting held in Sioux
Falls. January IA, by representatives
of the state board Of agriculture, the
Fine Stock Breeders association and
the State Breeders association, it was
decided to call q mass meeting TO be
held at Pierre on Wednesday, Febru-
ary 4, to include representatives OF
the associations named above, also
OF the State Horticultural society, the
Poultry and Pet Stock association,
the State Farmers alliance and simi-
Jar organizations the State Bankers
association, the State Educational
association, all the mining and manu-
featuring interests, district and county
agricultural societies, together with
the boards of trade or other CONNER
cial organizations of the different cities
OF the state, and also repre- EN- tatlves
OF the several cities and towns having
no such organizations, and of the
different counties, and Of all classes
and interests which are willing to take
part in the work Of helping to formu-
late some plan by which South Da-
kota may secure such an exhibit CT
her resources at the Columbian expos
tion as shall let the world know her
advantages and development. In pur-
suance Of the action taken by the So
cieties named cordial invitarion is
extended to the representatives Indi-
Gated above to meet at Pierre on
February 4, and participate in the
proceedings OF the meeting called to be
held there on that date for the pur.
poses sDecified.
By order OF State Board OF Agricul-
ture. r. B. CODDINGTON,

BROOKINGs REGISTER
Tnotice in the Volgs Tribune that a
gentleman signing his name as "Inde.
pendent" wishes the board of county
commissioners to explain why Mr.. H.
V. Hicks was appointed to superin-
tend the county poor farm.
AS chairman OF SAID board ] offer
the following explanations: Mr.. H. V.
Hicks was q member of the board of
county commissioners for one year,
during which time his actions we're
those OF an honest, conscientious and
careful official From personal &C.
quaintance with the gentleman the
board felt that he was just the person
to take charge of the poor farm, be-
lieving that he would work for the in
terests Of the county and care for the
inmates of the county poor house
with consideration, and good treat
ment, using all means within bis pow
er to make them comfortable. This
ia the reason the board selected MIR.
Hicks, and as his salary is nominal
there is no reason for q "kick" from
any source.
The board of county commissioners
have full charge of the county poor
farm-Mr. Hicks merely superinterds
the work.
Mr.. Hicks was requested to become
the independent candidate fOr COM
missioner from his district last fall,
but declined the nomination. Some
people are always "kicking" when
they have nothing else to DO, which
may explain the cause of the article
from Independent" 1t is safe to
say. however, that the poor farm will
be looked after by the county board
and they will insist that the institu-
tion be properly managed. feel sale
in saying that Mr.. Hicks is the right
man in the right place.
Respectfully
F. H. WEST, Chm.
Board of County Commissioners.

RroOkings Orchestra .

The Brookinps orchestra made its
debut at the Palmer reception last
Tuesday evening and the members
did themselves proud. Everybody
present were profuse with their praises
OF every piece rendered. The orcbes-
ira Is composed of the following gentle
men: Chas. Bach, 1st violin, leader;
Chas. E. Aiken, cornet; Jay Lattimer,
clarionet; Al. Aldrich, bass violin.
Brookings has no need Of sending
away for orchestra music when we
have such material at home. We are
informed that an expert vlolinist Is
expected here soon which will make
the orchestra more complete, though
the boys now play the most difficult
music with perfect ease and without
a skip.

Competent Gentlemen.

Major Ruth in speaking of the
books turned over to him by ex-
commissioner o. H. Parker says:
81 found the affairs OF the Office in
the best possible condition. Mr..
Parker had the work complete up to
date and the manner in which he con.
Quoted the office is shown by the per-
feet system adopted. He did q great
deal of work in the year that he filled
that position, and considering the
limited appropriation at his COM
mand he did remarkably well--don't
think any one could have done bet
ter. There yet remains much to be
done; the selection of indemnity
lands will be completed as soon as
possible. The state will lose nothing
by the taking OF school lands by set
tiers, for there are yet plenty OF good
lands to select from. Mr.. Parker
deserves great credit for what he did
in this direction"
Major Ruth is another official who
will see that the good work performed
by Mr.. Parker is carried forward with
equally az good success.

The Clock stopped !

A special correspondent from Pierre
sends the following 'auehable blunder
made bv one of the representatives
from Brookings county:
On Wednesday Mr.. Teets of Beadle
county, was debating the contest
cases. He was interrupted by Mr..
Knipe, OF Brookings county.
KNIPE.-" Mr.. Speaker. rise to a
point OF ord-r.'
sPEAKER.-" State your point OF
order"
KNIPE. THE gentleman is using
language which tends to influence the
minds OF the members and change
their votes"
TEETs.-" You'll bet l am. What
do you take me for ?"
SPEAKER" The point OF order is
not we'll taken. The gentleman from
Beadle can continue"
1t is said that the clock in the legis-
lative hall stopped when the speaker
made the decision, as he so seldom
choked off any OF the opposition"
If friend Knipe makes many more
such breaks, people here will begin to
think it was he who proposed to
"pay off the Mckinley bill"

Well Worth the Price.

1t has been q long time since this
city was visited by first. class
musical company, and our people
will appreciate the coming of the
Lutteman Sextette. to appear at the
opera house, Thursday evening, Feb.
8. The Red Wing (Minn.) Republican
of Nov. 20, 80, says:
1.-The Lutteman Sextette delighted
a lacge audience at the opera house
last evening with one OF the best pro.
grams OF vocal selections ever
rendered here. The execution, the ex-
preston, in fact all was everything
that had been claimed for it, and q
more satisfied audience probably
never left the opera house."

Arrangements are completed for a
grand ball and masquerade to be
given at the Brookings opera house
Friday evening, February 13, 1891.
The Brookings orchestra will furnish
music and the supper will oe prepared

to give their guests more than their
moneys worth. The grand march
will take place a. 81 5 sharp and those
securing spectators tickets will be
treated 70 laughable new novelties to
be introduced. Prizes will be given to
the best dressed couple also to the
most comical costume present. This
is practically the first time the hose
and hook and ladder companies have
asked the citizens to assist them and
surely when the boys give their time
and are always ready to aid III put
ting out fires it would seem as though
We ought to show our Appreciation for
their services by purchasing tickets
even though not wishing to attend the
ball. Don't allow the boys to do the
begging act, but put the shekels into
their hands without the asking.

VINO has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle Of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and | caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled ME to do something. I
got two bottleso of German Syrup. /
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, l was

The Eastern Boundary of Alaska.

A government coast and geodetic
survey party, which has been two
years in Alaska, has recently re-
ported that the Yukon gold fields,
which have thus far attracted the
most attention, are in Canadian and
not in the the United States terri
tory, as had hitherto been supposed.
The boundary line is the 141st me-
ridan of west longitude, but its To-
cation had not before been marked
by the surveys, and will now have to
be more exactly fixed by joint COM
mission of the two governments.
There were several hundred miners
in the district, and the upper Yukon
territory lying just along the border
line is said to be attracting large
numbers of seekers Tor the precious
metals.-Scientifi American.

NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Taxing the Industrious for the IndoIent.
Louisville Courier-Jo Journal.
The distribution Of the money. of

gency and disturbance have been caused
by the accumulation OF this money in the
Federal Treasury. The railroads OF the
country pay ont a great deal OF money to
their employees contractors, etc
several times the amount the Gov
erment pays out for pensions.
The railroads gather this money
from the shippers aud passengers
and pay it out IN wages But they have
given something for the money They
have transported goods and people. and
have increased the value Of the producers
Of the West BY putting them where thev
are needed most, by finding a market for
them. The railroad mas rendered

excuse this taxation with the assertion
that Y would all be paid back TO The
