Origin OF Bird Song.

The origin Of bird song is described
by an English writer as follows: Bird
song originated in cry produced by
bodily contortion. This cry was dovcl-
oped by use in times of danger. 1t then
became warning-note that was olabor-
ated into call-note. This note was re-
pcated by males in varied tono and
pitch, and several influences tended to
mako it reproduction of surrounding
persistent sounds. The call-notcs wore
repeated by tho males to tho females,
and in this manner arbitrary phrases
woro constructed. Further efforts on
the part Of tho males induced creator
variety, which took tho form of imita-
tion of other sounds"

Poor Country for Bachelors.

There is prejudice in the rural dis
tricts of this State against bachelors,
says. tho Portland Orcgonian. People
in evcry outlying scttlemcntare opposed
to bachelors taking up claims in their
vicinity. An exchange says: There
arc somc splendid claims on Daadwood
creek not yet takon, as good as any on
the coast The citizens want mon wi 5h
families to settle on them. Thrco Of
these claims wero taken by bachelors
last fall. Tho ladies of Deadwood
passed resolution placing a throo
years limit on cclibacy in that district,
and providing all bachelors not married
at the ond of that time be run out of tho
settlement or hanged" Five bach
elors moved out, ono got married and

leader of tho hill vaqueros, who were

largo valley near the Missions. He and
his friends killed and ate three or four
hundred young heifers belonging to the
Mission, but when Easter approached
he felt that he must confess his sins, so
he went to Father Narciso and told all
about it. The father forgave him, but
ordered him to como i'll from tho hills to
the Mission and attend school until ho
could read. The rules were very strict;
whoever failed twice in lesson was al

A sorrowful Admission.

We will admit that Sumas is ''dead,
dead, dead, and the whole state has
gone fiat" but we are only experiencing
what every other country or state has
gone or Is passing through. Croakers
bob up in every country when they
meet with reverses, that is to be ex-
pected and the sooner that section Is
rid OF them the better. Can't build up
one country by tearing down another.
-Sumas( Wash. News.
The above paragraph, taken from
j. w. Hops write.up OF the condition
OF affairs in Sumas, is not just what
we expected to find. Sorry the back
set has dropped on them so soon, but
glad, very glad, indeed, that Jake has
reached the fair conclusion that "can't
build up one country by tearing down
another" If the Sedro Press and
Birdsview Bell would make the same
honorable acknowledgement, and con-
duct themselves consistently with it,
their old-time friends in this country
would have much more faith in their
bald.headed statements concerning
the inexpressible wonders of Washing
ton--De Smet News.

Are We In It?

A more favorable time has never
been experienced for South Dakota to
secure q large immigration than at
present. Brookings county is at least
one OF the beet il not the best in the
state. We have not experienced q
failure OF crops in the history of the
county. Last year we were blessed
with q fine harvest and this year will
excel that of last. Shall we not make
an effort to interest some OF those
who are bound to visit the state to
secure honest II systematic and
thoroughly united action is taken-by
judiciouss advertising Of the country's
advantaeas-we may secure q host OF
people who are seeking western homes.
A committee should be selected to
gather crop reports, specimens of our
grains, vegetables, etc. Why would it
not be we'll to have the matter placed
in the hands OF the county commits
sioners to push the work, with the
assistance OF some OF our enterprisine
citizens? Let the county bear the
expense, euch 40 there may be. IL is
a question IN which all are interested
and which should command the at
tention of every property holder in
in the county. Now is the time to
push forward. If We have any ''eimp"
let it be made manifest and at once.

Bennett Bros. have decided to 10.

az Brookings wishes to encourage.
The manager, Chas. v. Bennett. has
held q situation IN the Watertown
Department store since its establish.
ment and thoroughly understands
the mercantile business and the new
firm will no doubt receive q royal
welcome into our business and social

Look For Other Markets.

The Times Record says that "par-
ties who have shipped wool from Do
land to St. Louis find that they have
realized from three to five cents q
pound more than those who shipped
TO Chicago, and from IL to 2 cents
more than local buyers offered them."
Here is pointer for our wool gI towers.
If you think that > you are not getting
what you should on the home market
or in Chicago, try some other point.
Western markets are shade better
than those OF eastern cities every
time. They are nearer the producers
OF the west and in the development of
manufacturing interests you will find
the markets constantly improving.
There is another point in connection
with solving the problem OF better
prices for "territoriap' wool as it is
called, the wool growers association
might take steps to place q good re.
liable buyer in the Chicago market to
care for the shipments from this state.
A cent OF half cent a pound on the
mammoth crop raised would more
than pay q liberal commission to such
q man and If our growers could realize
even three cents per pound more than
they do now it would net q good.sized
nest egg. These matters are worthy
of attention and we make the susges-
tion simply to start the ball rolling.
The REGISTER is interested in these
matters and If there is anyone who
has further suggestions to offer, would
be glad to publish them for the benefit
OF the producers.

Brookings County Fair.

The date set for the Brookings
County Fair Association to hold it's
first exhibit is Sept. 80 and Oct. 1-2.
Now begin making your collections
tor exhibits. We should have q fine
showing OF grains, grasses and veee.
tables. After the exhibition is closed
here it has been proposed to take the
same to the Sioux City Corn Palace
exhibition. The REGISTER is in receipt
OF letter from the managers of the
Corn Palace stating that they will
assign Brookings county a fine posi-
tion in the building and do all they
can to make our exhibit profitable to
this county. We would suggest that
samples of grain be gathered. tied in
neat and convenient punches on which
should oe placed tag stating Kind of
grain, how many acres the piece con-
tanned from which the sample was
taken and the name OF the party who
raised the grain. Vegetables should
be placed in neat sacks containing q
half bushel of the produce and marked
In the same manner as the grain.
Wrap the samples Of grain in paper,
If the straw is gathered with the grain.
Let our enterprising farmers get at
work and gather theae samples. If
they will bring their samples to Brook
ings the REGISTER will provide place
for their storage until 'fair time" F"
and see that they are placed on exhi.
bltion. Everyone put their shoulder
to the wheel. A successful exhibit will
advertise the county as nothing else
can do. Other counties are taking
ADVANTAGE OF q borntiful harvest and
are doing every thing in their power to
attract attention. Brookings county
need not be behind any OF them If her
citizens show q reasonable amount oil
pride and energy, and push the matter
as it deserves. The crops in this
county are equal to any, the stock
excelled by few and little push and
enterprise will do the rest.

Tho Celebration OF Its Anniversary Last
Nicht-YouthfuI Speakers

This society, which is composed of the
Jewish youths of this city over thirteen
years of age, celebrated their anniversary
last night at Monticello Hall, which was
well filed by the parents and friends of the
young aspirants for literary improvement.
The assemblage was called to order by the
President, Memo Mtteldorter, who in we'll
chosen terms welcomed the visitors and
introduced the Hon. William Lovenstein
as the orator of the evening. This gen.
tleman acquitted himself well on this oc-
casion, as he does on all Others.
he was followed by Bennie Goodman,
who recited in a very creditable manner
1.-THE Psalm of Life"
The next feature on the programme was
q debate. The question was: Resolved,
That City Life is More Beneficial than
Country Life" The affirmative was repre-
sented by Lee Rheinheimer and Louis
Cohen, while the negative was upheld by
Sam. Gunst and Simon Block. Both sides
of the question were well sustained, though
the judges (Messrs, Julius Straus, II. 3.
Hutzler, and S. l.. Bloomberg) declared
that the negative side was victorious.
Then came a humorous dialogue, which
was preeented in fne style by Sam. Thai
himer, Ike Caron, and Milton Blnswanger.
Messrs. Julius Straus and 5. l.. Bloom
berg being called upon by the president,
delivered short Impromptu addresses In
which they complimented the boys for the
very creditable manner in which they had
acquitted themselves, and wished them
success in the work in which they had
started out.

A Washington special to the Philadel-
phla Times says:
Mrs. Edmund Waddill, wife of The men,
ber of Congress from Richmond, Va, is a
delightfully."- charming lady to meet, as she
possesses the gentle, gracious manners so
characteristic of the southern woman. Her
maiden name was Alma G. Mitchell. Rich
mond was her birthplace, and there she
grew up to young ladyhood. She was a
great belle in the young society of Vir-
ginia's capital until she met Edmund Wad::
dill, Jr., then promising young lawyer OF
that city. A mutual affection followed,
and Miss Mitchell exchanged the pleasures
of society belle for the sweets of domes-
tic life.
Being in deep mourning for her brother,
who had recently died, Mrs. Waddill went
into society very little last winter. She
will hold her first reception next Tuesday
at 1903 II street, northwest. In person Mrs.
Waddill is very attractive. She has light
brown hair. expressive brown eyes, sweet,
amiable expression of countenance, fair
complexion, and 1.-THE. graceful figure.
