A Boys Composition on Chickens.

Chickens is the result of a hen stick
ing to one idea long enough to accomp-
lish something. They all look alike
when they is first born, by and by you
wouldn't know they belong to the
same set. Their ma is their natural
parent and protector. Spring chick
ems is the best because they cost the
most. Pa bought spring chicken at
bargain counter in meat shop the
other day, and with coal at $7.75 ton
ma figured that we didn't make ex-
penses that day trying to cook that
chicken done. Pa says you can never
tell till its too late what spring the
chicken first had pin feathers. Ma
says what pa don't know about good
many things would supply lot folks
with a college education. He says
that if she had given those 13 eggs she
used for angels food to some hen with
good intentions and hatchway we
would be living on the top shelf this
fall. am of the same opinion as pa
now. Last spring thought ma was O.
X. George Bexan says they are going to
set their clocks and raise waterberries.
He says their bed ticks and he has that
run down feeling every morning.
Chris Columbus made an egg stand on
it's head, which had never been done
before. Pa said there is money in
hens, and he was going into the chick
en- business when the country went
democratic. A man can't do a big
business unless he is protected. Chick
ems can swallow their food whole and
they is to be envied. - Minneapolis

He Heard the Testimony.

A paragraph in last weeks Volga
Tribune is calculated to discredit the
findings of the senatorial committee
which investigated BrOOkings college.
The truth of what was developed by
the investigation will never be under
stood by the public until the entire
testimony is published. Probably no
other newspaper in the state has been
so severe in its criticisms of DR.. Nc
Louth as Public Opinion and its criti-
cisms were made on what appeared to
us to be conclusive proof Of his unfit
ness for the place he occupies, but after
listening to the testimony at the in
vestigation and knowing the freedom
and assistance afforded his enemies by
the committee to sustain the most
damaging charges brought against him
and knowing that they wholly failed to
show one thing, we feel that his COM
plete exoneration was the least thing
the committee would have done in his
behalf. Moreover, in view of the con-
fessions of nsubordination, treachery,
and even graver things which his
chief accusers were compelled to make
the members of the faculty who were
censured by the report of the commit
tee have every reason to be thankful
that they got off so easily. We say
these things in simple justice to DR..
McLouth, whom we have in the past,
unintentionally, yet nevertheless un-
Justly, censured, and in fairness to the
senatorial committee whom we feel,
considering the facts developed, was
exceedingly mild in its findings.-Pub-
lie Opinion.

Tickets, Please.

Legislators holding passes will read
the following from the Howard Press
with regret. Especially when they
had intended going to the worlds fair
on these passes:
The railroad companies have issued
circulars to their conductors ordering
them after the 18th inst, in this state
to refuse to honor annual passes ex-
cept those conforming to certain de-
scription. This will cut off the an
nuals which, out Of the kindness of
their hearts, the companies issued to
members of the legislature q little
more than sixty days ago. This is
certainly the "most unkindest cut of
allp' If the legislators had known
that such a course was to be pur-
sued by the companies, it is prob
able that some reasonable restric-
tive railroad legislation would have
been enacted at the last session with
out opposition.

They Are Coming.

The Burlington railroad is kept
quite busy these days bringing cars of
immigrants into South Dakota and
northwestern Iowa. Several car
loads arrive in this city daily. The
telegraph operator for the Burlington
road at Rock Rapids was in the city
yesterday. He stated that already
this month thirty cars of immigrant
movables had been unloaded at the
Rapids. He also says that as many
more have passed through that town

G. g. Cross Talks of South Dakota Pears
and Peaches.
About the 1st Of the month we ex-
pect to have the exhibit ready for
shipment" said G. G.. Cross, who has
had charge of the getting together of
the South Dakota worlds fair exhibit,
In answer to an inquiry from Rec
ord reporter.
Zone feature of the exhibit will ;"
he continued, show the different vari-
eties of shade trees which flourish in
our state Another department will
show the fruit grown. We have a
large number of apples of the harder
varieties which do very nicely. These
have been brought in mostly from
Iowa and Minnesota. But we have a
number Of varieties in the state which
have been originated here and seem
to better adapted to our soil than even
the hardy Minnesota and Iowa apples.
''Then there will be pears and
peaches"
whoa up, whoa up" interjected
the reporter; guess we hadn't better
print that. But seriously, now, we
don't raise any peaches in South Da-
kOta, do we-nOt Out-Of-dOOrs?"
Eyes we do. A good many of the
east won't believe it until they come
here and see for themselves" con-
tinued Mr.. Cross, "but peaches and
pears can be found growing outdoors
not hot-house fruit-in Yankton,
Clay, Davidson, Aurora or Bon
Homme counties. Vegetables and
fruits grown during the year '93 will
be shipped to us at Chicago and placed
in the exhibit.
''The number of fleeces we have from
different flocks of sheep in the state
will make our wool exhibit good one
And you might say, while you are
talking Of this part of the exhibit
that the longer sheep are kept in
South Dakota the better the quality
of wool becomes. A South Dakota
lamb of the same age and grade will
produce from one to one and a half
pounds more wool than an eastern or
southern state grown lamb.
Zone of the interesting features of
the woman's departments will be an
exhibit of inventions of South Da-
kota women. Besides there will be
paintings, fance work, curiosities, etc.
''Our home musicians will be given
an opportunity to appear before COM
petent judges to display their talent
and those chosen as they best will help

"Our grasses and grains will cover
over 1000 square feet. We have at
present go bushels of corn, Is samples
Of wheat, 80 of oats, Is of timothy, 10
of clover and so on"
The reporter thanked Mr.. Cross for
the information and wobbled out,
thinking what awful liars some east
ern people would think Dakota papers
to be when they read the statement
that peaches and pears grow in South
Dakota. But to the doubling ones we
extend hearty invitation to come out
and see for themselves.-South Da-

Electric Lights For All.
EDS. REGISTER

EDS. REGISTER
Now that there is to be a change i'm
the management of the electric light
plant and the city waterwOrks system,
would it not be for the interest of the
city to purchase the electric light
plant and run the same in connection
with the city waterwOrks? | suggest
this plan for several reasons.
In the first place the city should
have a capable engineer, whose duties
shall be to look after the city water
works and machinery. In case the
electric light plant remains where it
is a night engineer must necessarily be
employed to run the machinery. Thus
the city, by owning and running the
systems combined, would be at no
more expense in the way of engineers
wages than it would be were the plants
under separate managements. Some
one says, "the electric light company
pays for the fuel and the engineers
wages" Yes, and the city pays the
electric light company for several
arc lights for the streets, which, by the
way is insufficient and the city feels
unable to put in more lights because
the company charges so much for the
lights.
Mind you it is not my intention to
slur the electric light company; had
rather praise the gentlemen who were
enterprising enough to give us the
system and no one can blame the COM
pany for making all the profit they can
off the money invested.
Should the city purchase the plant
it would enable us to increase the
number of street lights, for, if the
company can make money the city can
surely save enough in the transaction
to enable at least small increase in
the number of street lights.
would also suggest that another
dynamo be purchased to be used for
incandescent lights only. This would
divide the system and l believe the
repairs would not be as numerous or
expensive, and the savings would soon
pay for putting up the new line.
In some cities, | am informed in
candscent lights Us candle poweD are
furnished to citizens at cost of only
80 cents per month. | do not know
that this can be done here. If it can
there are very few people who could
not well afford to have one or more
lights in their residence. This would
prove of benefit to the citizens and /
believe the greater portion of the tax
payers will so decide.
OF course the first cost would be
considerable, but by running the city
waterwOrks and electric light systems
under the supervision of the city au-
thOrities | believe it would prove a
wise move should the city council pur-
chase the electric light plant.
Let us hear from fair-minded citi-
zens regarding this proposition.

Changed His Parish.

Rev. f. 7. Derr, who has been pastor
OF the Baptist church at this place for
over two years, resigned his pastorate
at the prayer-meeting services last
Wednesday evening, TO take effect on
Monday, he having accepted a twelve
hundred dollar call to mission church
In Cleveland, Ohio. His resigna-
tion went into effect soon after Il was
rendered because the people whom he is
going to serve were anxious for him to
come Immediately. Rev. Derr Is not
only an honorable and upright man, but
one as polite and gentlemanly as he at
all times, is rare in this community
To show their regard for him, the
Methodist Episcopal people dispensed
with the services in their church Sum
day evening and went TO hear Rev.
Derr preach his farewell sermon. The
auditorium and Sunday school room OF
the Baptist church were taxed TO their
fullest seating capacity. The Reverend
selected his text from 2 Cor. 1911,
flnaily, brethren, farewell. BE per-
feet, be of good comfort, be OF one mind,
live In peace; and the God of peace shall
be with you" Red noses, tear-stained
cheeks and white handkercbiefs were
not barred out OF the services. "God
be with you till we meet again" was
the closing hymn. Mr.. Derr stationed
himself at the door and bade good bye
to all as they passed out. The young
people of the Baptist church held a
social in the church Monday evening in
honor of Mr.. and Mrs. Derr, which was
well attended considering the inclement
weather. THE STAR joins with others

The New Law.

Walter Spry, the assessor, commenced
the work of assessing yesterday. He
carries book with him this time to
register all births and deaths from
June 1st, 1893, to December 1st 1893,
for which the county pays him five
cents for every one registered. The
questions to answer on deaths are:
Name of deceased, color, sex, age, place
OF birth, occupation, place of death,
cause OF death, duration last illness,
place, month, day and year of interment,
name of father and mother. Questions
on births: Name, residence, parents,
occupation father, month, day, year
and place OF birth. BY this new law
girls cannot remain 'sweet sixteen
until they are twenty, and linger
around the twentieth birthday when
they are chasing the fourtieth closely,
for the records at the county seat will
not agree with them.

Getting a Library.

One of the things Reynoldsville has
never had in connection with the public
schools has been a library. An effort
is now being made to put good library
in the school building. The teachers
and scholars who have taken hold Of
the matter are receiving substantial
encouragement, they have a number
of good books already and have
good prospects of getting more. This
is an excellent move and should meet
the approval of all our citizens. II the
boys and girls have good books to read
they will not spend their time reading
cheap literature. The library should
be stocked with at least two hundred
books.
