how it was made to hold SO many
articles. After the articles were
placed in the box it was carefully
sealed, and in future ages when it is
opened the people of that day will
have a nice amount Of early history
before them. 1t is safe to say that,
barring accidents, the youngest child,
who witnessed the corner stone laying,
will have passed away long before the
building will have been removed from
it's present foundation.

Labor Day.

The celebration of Labor Day drew
large crowd of people to Brookings
last Monday. The forenoon was oc-
cupied by the Masonic ceremonies of
laying the corner stone of the new
temple, and at 1870 the exercises were
held at the opera house on account Of
the wind and heat outside. There
seemed to be some misunderstanding
and not as many attended the
speeches as would have otherwise. A
good sized audience was present,
however, and Mayor Philo Hall deliv-
cred a pleasing address of welcome
which was followed by short address
by Prof. Rob't +. Kerr, who in turn
was followed by few minutes talk by
DR.. Lewis McLouth.
Mayor Hall then introduced Hon.
John w. Bell, of Milbank, who held
his audience for some time in a pleas
ing manner. His speech is highly
spoken of by those present.
Then followed a game of base ball
between Arlington and Brookings,
which was witnessed by an immense
crowd of people, who were bound to
see the game even if they did have to
eat dirt every time they Tentured to
yell over some good or poor play. The
score of the game may be found else
where. Following the game of ball
the "sports" invaded Main street and
for an hour held high time, intro
ducing sack, foot and potato races. A
dance was held in G. A. r.. hall dur
ing the evening.

American Goods Only.

If every patriotic American will
purchase American goods only for his
consumption, he will lessen the disas-
trous effects of the free trade German
tariff bill. The American Protective
Tariff League invites all to join in
such a movement, and to sign the
following pledge:
. 81 hereby pledge myself to buy
American goods only, whether of the
farm, mine or factory, and to use my
influence to have Others do the same"
Please sign the above, giving your
post Office address in full and send
the same to w. +. Wakeman, Gen
eral Secretary, l35 west 23d street,
New York.

brighter, ADLER man could have been
found. His nomination is an element
of special strength to the ticket. The
denomination of Sheldon, Herried,
Thorson. Nipple and Crawford is the
highest endorsement that could be
given the state administration and
we'll deserved compliment to the one
term officials. After the selection of
the congressional ticket the Office of
state treasurer went to the hills by
common consent and the honor fell
to their chosen son, Kirk Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips is said to be highly COM
petent and very popular at his home
Frank Crane, for the office of state
superintendent, possesses not only the
qualifications of an educator, but also
good business ability and is deservedly
popular wherever known. John Lock
hart is an excellent choice for COM
missioner of school and public lands
and his nomination is well deserved
recognition of loyal worker for the
party. The board of railroad COM
missioners will lose nothing by the
selection of Geo. Johnston, who has
host of friends throughout the state.

A Good Ticket.

The republican convention at Yank-
ton has named a strong ticket, sure
winner. 1t could not do otherwise
with the material at hand. The re-
nomination of Congressman Pickler is
fitting recognition and endorsement
of the splendid record made by the
gallant major. The choice of Robt.
Gamble as his colleague is another ex-
hibition of wisdom and keen foresight.
He represents the younger republican
element in the state, and no cleaner,

Desire Rev, VIM. Fielder,

At the fourth quarterly conference
held by the official boards of the M. f.
church last Saturday, resolution was
unanimously passed requesting the
special conference to return Rev. VIM.
Fielder to his charge again for an
other year. Several members of the
board had canvassed the congregation,
and as far as could be heard from
everyone had expressed that the pre-
sent pastor be retained, If such a
thing is possible. Rev. Fielder, has
several good offers to leave the state,
and he has as yet not decided whether
he will accept one of them or remain
in Brookings.

TERRIBLE FOREST FIRES.
Whole Towns Wiped Out of Exfstenc
in Minnesota.


In Minnesota.
Latest reports from the forest fire
which occurred in northeastern Min
nesOta and northern Wisconsin last
Saturday and Sunday are even worse
than was at first reported. Pine
county, Minnesota, is all burned up
as you might say. The towns are
wiped out of existence along the line
of the Great Northern. Hinkley.
Pokegama, Sandstone, Sandstone
Junction and Partridge are among
those towns which suffered most.
Fully thousand people are supposed
to have perished in the flames. The
scenes during the fire beggar descrip-
tiOn. Whole families being seen to
perish and no means of rescuing them
at hand.
From the Chippewa Falls country
comes another report little less ap-
palling in magnitude. In fact, taking
the fire as a whole, it is one of the
worst in the history of the country
and has only been equalled by the
Chicago fire.
Relief is being asked for, and it is a
pleasure to note the prompt responses
which are being made to relieve the
distress as far as possible.

Corner Stone Laying

The ceremonies Of laying the corner
stone of the new Masonic temple held
last Monday proved to be the finest
affair ever experienced in this section.
A large number of visitors were
present from surrounding towns and
the different fraternal organizations
were well represented.
The parade which occurred at 1890
o'clock was fully half vile in length,
and marched in the following order:
First Regiment Band.
Co. g., First Reg't s. ID. N. q.
4th Battalion College Cadets.
Odd Fellows Lodges.
,workmen Lodges.
Brookings Fire Department.
Brookings Graded School.
Bookings Eastern Star Lodge.
Brookings Lodge No. "a, A. +. e A. VI.
BEookings Chapter r. A. NJ, No. Is.
Brookings Commandery No. II.
Masonic Grand Lodge Officers.
The procession marched north on
Allison street as far as Summit and
west to Main street, thence south in a
counter march and halted around the
new temple building. Marshal of the
Day, Col. Thos. Orr, kept the parade
well in hand and when the large
crowd had gathered at the temple
site the program was placed in charge
of Grand Master w. G. Allen, Of Gro
ton. America was sung by the glee
club and the regular Masonic cere-
monies followed, in which Messrs.
Lyman Bates, Lake Preston; L. L..
LOstutter, IroquOis, and - Frost,
Elkton, acted as wardens. The cor
lner stone having been dedicated ac-
cordiDg to the Masonic rites, the box
containing various appropriate arti-
cles was placed in the stone and the
ceremonies closed with invocation by
Rev. Il. Il. Simpson, of st. Pauls
Episcopal church, of this city.
Prof. Robt. r. Kerr, who had charge
OF preparing the contents of the box
the momentos, read the

Republican League.

Col. r. j. Woods, of Sioux Falls,
president Of the republican league, ar
rived in the city Friday morning from
Redfield where he had been in consul
tation with 0. S. Basford, chairman
of the republican state central COM
mittee. Col. Woods is about hustling
up the boys to organize or revive the
leagues and was in consultation with
the "boys" here.
During conversation with the
REGISTER representative Col. Woods
stated he hoped to have league in
every town and city in the state and
would work to that end. He also
stated that an effort was being made
to secure two speakers of national re
presentation to address the people Of
the state during the campaign. If
this can be done this city will be one
of the places selected as trains run
each way north, east and west in such
a manner as to allow people coming
from distance to arrive here in the
morning and return the same evening.
If the speech is arranged for here
there will be at least 10000 people
present. Col. Woods also stated that
he could not say for certain who the
speakers would be, but possibly Gov.
Nc Kinley and Tom Reed might be Sc
cured.

Base Ball.

The game of base ball between Ar

started out in fine shape, but for some
reason either the Arlingtons were out
classed or they didn't play ball. The
following score shows how the home
team pounded the leather:

PRODUCTION OF LEAD.
A Great Falling on In the First Half
of 1894,

of 1894.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Aug. GA
report OH The production of lead Ia the
United States during the first six
months of the year was submitted to
the United States geological survey
today. II shows IA heavy falling off In
the quantity of lead drawn from
domestic sources and shows that the
decline in price and prostration of the
SILVER mining industry have seriously
affected the lead industries of Rocky
mountain states and territories. The
production OF silverized-lead amounted
to So, 172 net tons, against 90, 92l for the
first six months of 1898, and of soft
lead 1850 tons net, against 1906 for
the preceding period of last year. The
to'al production of refined lead was
lO2, 49, net tons, against Ill ,S26 in the
first half of 1898, refined, in bond
amounting To 2l, $50 ne: tons, against
II, 230 for the first half of last wear.
Lead available for the home market
aggregated $1,000 tons, including 8, 1855
tons representing the contents of Next.

From American sources the lead pro.
ductiOn netted II 204 tons, against So
$50 net tons during the first half and

Japan VIII Assist.
A GREAT DAY FOR JAPAN.
Her Place as Civilized Nation Recog.
nIzed by England.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L-Japan has at iast
succeeded in AN object dear to her people.
and for which that government has striven
with all the arts of diplomacy for many
years. News has been received here bv the
diplomatic corps that IA new treaty has lust
been negotiated between Japan ana Great
Britain, by the terms OF which the claim of
extra territorial jur sdIcuon by the latter is
abandoned. Negotiations looking TO the
rat nCatiOn Of similar treaties are gong on
between Japan ami the United SAFES and
many European countries, and il is as
suned that they Will now speedily follow
the example set bY England and fully
recognize the right OF Japan 10 administer
justice IN her own territory.
The importance of Great Britain's action
lies in the fact that il is really recognition
of Japan iully civilized power. The
assertion of extra territorial jurisdiction
has always been confined to barbarous anu
semi-civllizsd countries whose ignorance of
the first prlr ciples of justice and law
seemed to Renter imperative the retention
by civilized nations OF the world ol the right
to administer justice where their own citi-
zens were concerned, even ss against the
a vsnces of Il semi-civliZed country and
within its borders. This has been done
through the IN -dlum of consular courts
Ever since the wave OF civilization rolled
over Japan her sensitive and proud people
have resented the continuance of the extra
territorial system not solely because of ITS
working, but also because il was a standing
declaration that japan was not civilized
and IL was a reflection upon the Japanese
judiciary.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 27.-There seems to
be a serious doubt entertained as to whether
or not the treasury officials Will he able to
carry in effect The SECTION of the new tariff
bill making alcohol used in arts free of the
internal revenue tax. Section 81 Of the act
provides that any manufacturer finding II
necessary 10 use alcohol IN the arts or In
any medicinal or in any like compound,
may use the same under regulations TO be
prescribed by the secretary of the treasury
on satisfactory evidence to he internal rev.
enue collector of the district wherein he
resides or carries on business that he has
complied with such regulations and has
used such alcohol therein, and exhibiting
ana delivering up stamps which show that
the tax has been PLACED thereon, and that
he should be entitled 20 receive from the
treasurer the rebate tax so paid. There are
approximately 200 600 druggists in the
United States who use alcohol to some ex-
tent in the manufacture of medicines of
various kinds, and this number il is be-
lIeved, would lie increased from 80 to 100
per cent. on liberal application of this
provision of the act.
