THE FIRST NATIONAL.
The First National Bank Moved Into Its
Handsome Brick Block.

Last Monday morning the First
National bank of BroOkings opened
up for business i'm its new and hand
some quarters, and perhaps at this
time it would not be out of place to
give brief history Of the establish
ment, growth, and prosperity of that
popular banking house
The BroGkings County bank was
established in March 1850. by A. B..
Olds and Horace Fishback who were
at that time also engaged in the mer-
cantilebusiness. The country was then
new but the bank did good business.
though at that time 1t required only
the service of one employee. In the
year 1883 Mr.. Olds sold his interest to
Mr.. FiShback, and a corporation was
formed with T. L. Fishback, presi-
dent; Geo. A. Matthews. vice-presi-
dent; and Horace FiShback. cashier.
A small brick STRUCTURE was built and
occupied by the new corporation and
the bank was merged into national
bank, in December8 1883. Not quite
ten years had elapsed when the insti-
tuition, which had long since out
grown its old clothes, took a change of
location to its present cOmmodiOus
quarters.
THE BUILDING
Is built of pressed brick, resting on
solid stone foundation. 1t is two sto-
ries high, with basement. The lank
proper is heated with hot air furnace.
The counter and all the bank furni-
ture is of modern style and make and
the plan has been to make everything
convenient for the bank EMPLOYEES
and pleasant for the patrons. The
vault is one of the best made in the
northwest and contains a burglar
proof safe which would battle the most
expert Of safe crackers. The interior
of the bank proper is finished in the
latest style, decorated steel ceiling.
walls finely frescned and the wood
work is Of oak finished in oil.
The entire structure is fine in an
pearance and substantial in cunstruc-
tiOn. 1t is a building which, not only
the prOprietOrS but the whole city
may we'll feel proud of, as this will
encourage others to huild and con-
vince the outside world that there is
something substantial in our business
interests, and will also invite and en-
courage outside capital to be invested
in more brick blocks.
The First National bank now en-
ploys three clerks besides the popular
cashier Mr.. Horace Fishhack. The
establishment has canital of $50, 900.
with surplus of $4,000 and is count
ed among the safest banking estab-
liShmentS in the state,

Chae. Andrews Killed.

Last Saturday Judge J. o. Andrews
received telegram announcing that
ms brother Charles had heen killed in
railway accident at Morrison, H.,
on Friday. The following dispatch to
the Minneapolis Journal gives the
particulars:
MORRISON, H., Nov. 17.-CharleS
Andrews, proprietor of the Andrews
Opera Company, travelling in their
own private parlOr car, met horrible
death here today. Andrews stepped
from one railroad track to another to
avoid weStbOund freight train. when
the eastEound Omaha express struck
him, throwing him under the freight.
when his lOdy was ground to pieces"
The Andrews family have been the
victim of strange series of calami-
ties. Two years ago the train upon
which the company was travelling was
wrecked at Brainard, Minn.. and
their sleeper caught fire. Mrs. Mamie
Wilkinson Andrews, wife of Ed,
was burned to death. A year ago
Eds little girl was kicked by a horse
and killed. Last year the company
was the victim of several small acci-
dents and for time there was talk of
disbanding. And now comes the
news of the violent death of Charles.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
A special from MankatO, Mimi,
gives the following report of another
accident which has befallen the
Andrews family: "The remains of
ChaS. w. Andrews, manager of the
Andrews Ope ra Company, who was
crushed to death by cars at Morrison,
Ill.,, Friday, arrived in the city this
evening, accompanied by three
brothers, J. W., Geo, and Judge
Andrews of Brookings, S. d. George
was quite badly injured in another
railroad wreck at Elroy last night,
and their private car is badly broken.

A Different Showing.

The statement that the cost of the
state educational institutions is $3.50
per student, a year, for "tuition
alone" is going the rounds, and some
excellent young gentlemen are basing
sermons of extravaganza upon this
statement. If true. the average would
not be greater than the average among
like institutions in the United States,
and why should South Dakota in her
newness, be expected to do better
than the average? But 1T doesn't
take man with half the intelligence
of the editor of the lroquois Chief two
minutes to satisfy himself that the
statement is wild to the last degree.
If he will take the last catalogue of
the five state educational institutions,
he will find 9i1 names of students. If
he had counted noses in the class
rooms of these institutions on the
morning of November 1. 1898, he
would have found 626. Neither num-
her is quite q fair statement of the
average attendance, which for the
year. from July !, 1893, to June 30.
1894, will unquestonably Re about an
even 700. Ifhe will just turn to the
laws of 1898 he will find in a moment
that the state appropriations for the

A Good Answer.

In an interview with Governor
Sheldon, last week reporter of the
Madison Sentinel, among other ques-
tions, propounded the following:
II see you have been asked to con-
sent to donating the State building in
Jackson Park to the State Univer-
Sity."
"Yes, you are part correct, but
have no authority to do such a thing.
The law tells the worlds fair commits
SiOnerS what shall be done with the
buildings and | have no authority to
override the action of the legislature.
The lady commissioners have offered
me the drapery and hangings used in
the building. l declined the gift. but

same year, in gross, for all these inSti-
tutiOns, amount TO about SSl 900. If
he will divide this gross amount by
700 he will discover that he has less
than Sll8 head for his students. all
told. If he will eliminate from these
appropriations all items save those for
tuition alone" he will find he has
hardly $4,000, or less than S65 per stu
dent! And even if you add $4,000
from the United States government
for "tultiOn alone" you have only
about $50, 1000, or less than $s6 per stu
dent! 1t is idle to preach ever so good
sermons on economy based upon wild
misrepresentation. President North
rOp, of the Minnesota University,
roasted the other day. in the presence
of the world. at the great fair, that
the University education was furnish
ed to all who would take it in Mime
sofa at cost of one dollar a head for
the state! The SchOOl-age enrolment
of South Dakota is 100000 this year,
and yet South Dakota furnishes Uni
versity education to all who will come
even counting the great industrial
college at BrOOkings and the grand
University at VermiliOn as one-at a
cost Of less than 30 cents per capita
for the enrolment. And strange as
it may seem to those so anxious to
belittle their own opportunities, the
attendance at these institutions is
greater, in proportion to the popula-
tion, In South Dakota than in Mime
sofa. During the past six months the
writer has had occasion to examine,
as well as he could from the reports,
the economic management of a wide
range of states, touching the higher
institutions Of learning, and he finds
not thing in the comparisons but is
intended to touch the local pride of a
South DakOtan. And yet, there are
errors to be pointed out and corrected.
just as there are in the daily round of
any business of like magnitude.

THE COMMERCIAL HOUSE.
The Popular H"teI Changes Management
and Will BE Improved.

At one time the Commercial house
was one of the most popular hotels in
this part Of the state and enjoyed a
splendid patronage. Owing to the ILL
ness of Mr.. Palmer's wife he was un-
able to keep the hotel open for tran
Sient custom and the business has
gradually dwindIed down. Mr.. w. D.
Mcdonald. recently Of Sioux Falls,
has leased the hotel and took posses
sion this week. He will make needed
repairs and improvements, and open
business full blast. Mr.. Mcdonald
has had an experience of thirty years
in this particular line of business and
hopes by careful and praiswOrthy
management to merit a liberal pat
rnnage from the public. Our city
gladly welcomes Mr.. and Mrs. MCDOn-
aid to our midst and trusts they may
find friends and also profit in their
new venture
