Gone Before,

DIED-At the family residence in Brook
ings, April 2, 1891, Mrs. Annie Haber, beloved
wife of George. b. Haber and only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Miller, of Rochester, MIMI,
in her 23d year.
There is peculiar sadness in this be-
reavement. In the summer of 1888
Mr.. Haber having provided comfort
able residence, went to Rochester and
brought home his bride. She at once
became identified with Brookings So
ciety, respected by all who knew her.
She with her husband were regular at
tendants OF the Presbyterian church,
Mr.. Haber being q member of that
church while she remained g. member
OF the Lutheran church.
She was the devoted wife, loving
daughter and the faithful friend. She
will be sadly missed by all; but, more
specially in the home where y sorrow
ing husbsnd is left with two mother
less little ones-the youngest only
eight days old. The remains were
taken to Rochester, Mimi, yesterday
Thursday after brief religious ser.
vices were conducted at the house by
Rev. A. M. Work.
More extended services will be held
at Rochester, the home of her child
hood and of her parents. The SYM
pathy OF the entire community goes
out to the bereaved in this hour of
their trial.

BRO0KINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY APRIL 3, 1S91
Don't Loose Your Grip.

You farmers who have had failure
OF crops or who have not met with the
success you expected, and no doubt de-
served, cannot afford at this time to
pull up stakes and move to other To-
cations. Remember look green
afar off-remember that farmers in
the locality to which you have thought
OF moving are no better off than you
are-failures have been experienced
misfortune is just as liable to be your
lot there as here, and it always costs
money to shift around from one place
to another.
You have tried friends here. Your
home is established. From this on
taxes are bound to become lighter.
Real and personal property must nec-
sarily advance in price and in q few
years you will see the folly of your
present intention to sell out, tear up,
and move to another place which af-
forded no more assurance OF return
ing you q fortune than do the
prairies of South Dakota.
People have gone away from here
and many have returned regretlng
that they were so foolish as to be cad
tivated bv the alluring stories told OF
the ''sunny south" and the western
slope" Only few days ago, while in
convers alton. a. gentleman. who had
sold out and tried his luck" else
where, only to find that he had
made a poor move, was heard to re-
mark that his experience had cost
him enough money to keep himself
and family fully three years and he
was now ready to remain in South
! Dakota.
Diversity your farming, SOW good
seed, cultivate your land we'll, live
within your means, be cheerful, don't
let your liver get out OF order, and
your time for making money Is bound
to come.
Don't loose your grip

Encourage Sheep Growing.

The following from the Sioux City
Journal has a world of truth in 1T
THE more sheep the farmers get in
the dry parts of South Dakota the less
we shall hear OF complaint OF drought
hereafter. 1t is reassuring to know
how rapidly the farmers are preparing
themselves for prosperity by securing
hocks. The same counties where
there was hardly sheep twelve
months ago the focks are numbered
to-day by thousands and even tens OF
thousands. They are increasing every
day. You don't have to irrigate for
sheep. There is plenty OF water in the
dryesu year the in dryest part OF So.
Dakota ever saw for sheep. There
never has been and there never will be
a rotten foot in South Dakota. 1t is
the healthiest climate in tne world for
sheep. The man who gives his atten-
ton to sheep for few years will have
plenty of money TO put down an arte-
sian we'll, if he wants one"

A PRONOUNCED SUCCESS.

The Art Loan Exhibition Auspiciously
Opened Last Evening.
The art exhibit, under the auspices of
the Valera Library association, was in
formally opened last evening in the new
library building, corner of Third street
and Second avenue north. The place is
a marvel from an artistic point of view.
The various groupings and settings and
the exquisite arrangement of decora-
lions blend so tremendously that there
is not the slightest jar to mar the effect.
In the main room of the building are
placed the pictures donated by our citi-
zens. OFF from this IN an ante-rOom tea
is served, and back of the tea-roOm is a
place set apart for the display of etchings
and water-cOlOrs.
The musical part of the programme
was exceptionally fine and was heartily
applauded. Taken as a whole the sue
cess of the opening night far exceeded
the expectations of those having the mat
ter in charge. Quite a number of etch-
ings and other pictures were sold. The
exhibition for the remainder of the week
will be open IN the afternoons from 2 to
) O'Clock and in the evenings from Z to
TO-. Do not fail to attend the exhibition,
as an evening can be spent most pleas
antly and prOfitably there.
The following programme by we'll
known local talent will be rendered this
evening:
Instrumental Duet-"Romeo and Juliet. .......

of the murderers at that camp while

but that he told 1t in a joke. He was
bound over to the district court and Dep

He Denies Leader and Bridge Man" State
men's and Tells n Facts About
the Cascade Bridge.
GREAT FALLS, March Z, 1891
EDITOR TRIBUNE: 1t seems that the
managers of the Leader, OF one of it,
editors, is trying to get into the much
discussed bridge question as many mis-
statements and f~alsehoods as possible. In
Its issue of Saturday evening 1t has a card
signed by a "Bridge Man" In which be
says he had bee2 talked to by two mem
bers of the present board of county com
missoners, as to making a high bid on
the Townsite bridge. As l am doubtless
one of the commissioners referred to,
deny the charge as a bare-faced lie, and
am not afraid to face the so-called "Bridge
Man." Several of the bridge men asked
me what the bid of the Townslte CON-
pany was and told them that 1t was
a private matter.
As the bridge man that had the low
bid on the Cascade bridge, made a great
stir, will give the facts in the matter,
which a be verified by the whole board
OF commissioners, also. by Mr.. Crosby
and Horace Mcintyre. The commission
ers had Mr.. Mcintyre, with the aid
ut two of the bridge men, make a
nr0f1le and draft specifications of the
Cascade bridge and bridgesite, and Mr..
A. Y. Bayne, n of the bidders, and the
man who submitted the low bid, went
with the other gentlemen and helped to
make the profile. After the profile was
completed it was brought before the com
missioners in session and submitted to all
the bridge men present. The under
standing that iron piers, Nos. l and 2,
were tc be bid on at so much per YER
teal loot Of the length specified in the
and in case any of the piers were
or shorter than specified, the coun-
" should pay mOre,o deduct for shortage.
Now as Mr.. A. Y. Bayne, one of the ten
bidders, and n of the men that helped
the profile, and seemed to have a
great deal to say about it, had the only |
Incomplete bid and left the extra on the
entirely out of his bid, which would
consequently leave a chance to bring a
arge bill again't the county, the board
would not consider his bid, and decided
the next lowest, that of the King
'ridge company, should have the con
ract. In this the full board concurred.
Mr.. Bayne came before the board, and
them to reconsider the action, as
e said he had made a mistake and upon
he board standing by their decision, he
ccused the undersigned of being bribed,
Inch was most emphatically and fore
bly, denied.

ave never told a TRIBUNE reporter to go
