Com nerciai club Notes.

The Commercial club at its last meet
ing discussed the matter OF forest fires in
the mountains. particularly on the water
shed OF the Ahtanum.
Few people realize the enormous deves-
tuition of the forests on the head waters
oil the Ahtamun, committed during the
last twelve months. Careless parties Of
campers and designing sheep herders are
responsible for the destruction Of vast
bodies of timber, which, standing, are
the conservators Of the waters in our
smaller streams, preserving intact the
banks of snow which last long into the
summer season-when resting under the
sheltering arms Of the army OF forest
trees-and do not melt until the summer
is far advanced and the water is most
needed in the thirsty valley below. The
successful irrigation OF the valleys taking
water from the smaller streams Is entirely
dependent upon the preservation Of the
forests on the hesdwaters of these
streams; and the farmers of the valleys
must awaken to their danger and put
forth every effort, individual and collec-
tive, to stop this vandalism.
The Commercial club, working for the
interests of the community at large, sug-
gests as preliminary step to accomplish
this end, that every such act of vandal-
ism that is discovered by anyone, wheth-
er the result of carelessness or design, be
Immediately reported, together with the
evidence Of such .act, to the federal or
state authorities at North Yakima, who
will Immediately make arrests. to be fol-.
lowed by prosecution; it being desired
that an example be made OF such Offend
er or offenders that will have a salutary
effect upon them.

If He Does His Duty tho Sensational
City" Will be Minus an Editor.
Another row! Rather, continual
tion of the Brookings college racket
quite probable.
The above is the heading to an ar
ticle which appeared in the Water
town Public Opinion this week and
perhaps does not deserve notice, but
fearing that some people who do not
know the facts may be misguided by
the untruths embodied therein the
REGISTER wishes to deny the state
ment from first to last. No college
anywhere has at the present time
more harmonious faculty or more
competent and Jealous set of instruc-
tors than has the S. d. A. G. They
are working hand in hand to build up
the school, and every citizen in Brook
ings we believe will bear us out in
this statement. There is no "bicker-
ing" done by any of them. They are
attending to their individual duties
and have no time for anything else.
The REGISTER, however, looks fur
ther than the college for the real
cause of the appearance of the article.
1t believes that an attempt is made
to get in thrust at the city Of Brook
ings by attacking the college. 1t has
been known for years that Watertown
is jealous Of Brookings and would
stoop to give "birth" to any sort Of
low chickering's" whereby that city
might secure the removal of the col
lege from this city. In fact her peo-
pie have said they would rather have
the college than all their railroads.
Their envy has gotten the upper hand
of their Judgment and they are now
throwing out this vile spleen. Then,
too, they are really mad because DR..
Finnerud did not receive the confirm
alton as state regent, and this is
another reason why they want to kick
up row. Still another reason is that
the Public Opinion don't like Gov
ernor Sheldon. 1t Is too bad, but the
governor can't please everybody if he
wanted to ever so much.
The REGISTER can assure its read
ers that the only row at Brookings
emanates from under the hats of a
few of the people of the "city Of SEN
sations."

Epworth Notes.

The scriptural subject discussed
Sunday evening was THE Burnt
Offering" Bert Sevy led the meeting,
and during the discussion brought out
many practical points worthy of con-
tinual application by processing Chris
tians. BY the way, our Temple
Service" topics are proving, not only
instructive, but very interesting, and
present many striking object lessons
worthy of imitation by the young peo-
pie of this day and age. 1t is safe to
assert that as we become more famil-
lar with the old testament topics and
the proper method of studying them
they will become equally more ben
eficial. Let each one of us try to see
how much good we can get out of
them, and thus aid the leaders and
Others, and come that much nearer
meeting the purpose for which they
were assigned to us by the general
board.
Interest is growing week by week,
and we predict summer of great
spiritual activity on the part of the
Leaguers.
This chapter promises an entertain
ing and interesting social gathering
for the young people in the immediate
future.
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
help the officers. Come prepared to
do your share, if it is nothing more
than giving out hymn. COR.

A Falsehood Nailed /.

The statement has gone out to the
effect that Prof. Jas. II. Shepard is a
candidate for the presidency of the
Agricultural college. The REGISTER
has been assured by Prof. Shepard
that nothing is further from his wish,
He has no desire for the position and
would positively refuse to accept 1t if
it should be rendered him. He has
fitted himself for a chemist and will
not deviate from that line Of work,
which he would be compelled to do
should he accept the presidency OF
the college.

THE LEARY CASE.
Rebecca Leary and Her Son, Frank, Re
ceiye Their Sentence,

Rebscca Leary and Her Son, Frank, Re
ceiye Their Sentence.
The Leary burglary case which has
occupied great deal of the time and
attention of the officers and court
in this county for some months has
closed so far as it concerns the mother
one son and daughter of the family.
The case was fairly tried and warmly
fought and the jury returned averdict
on Wednesday. The verdict of the
jury was that Mrs. Leary and son
Frank were guilty of the charge and
that the daughter, Hattie, should go
free.
The court announced that at two
o'clock Thursday afternoon the sem
tence would be pronounced. The
court room was packed at that hour
and the pleas of different ones for the
mercy Of the court upon the aged
prisoner were touching. After hear
ing the remarks Of those who wished
to speak and viewing a petition signed
by about 200 people asking the mercy
of the court regarding his sentence Of
Mrs. Leary, sentence was pronounced.
1t was indeed sad sight, as Judge
Andrews expressed it, to see two pris-
| Oners, who had been tried and found
guilty; one representing the evening
of life, the other, morning. Mother
and son. AS person he could not
help feelings Of pity for both, but
there was his duty, acting in the
capacity of the court of justice-the
peoples safeguard against crime
which must be considered. 1t was
not a matter of personal chOiCe-it
was his bounden duty as the instru-
ment Of the people to mete out justice
The judgement of the court was that
Frank Leary be sentenced to serve
two years in the penitentiary at Sioux
Falls and that Rebecca Leary be SEN
fenced to one year in the peniten tiary
as above named.
The prosecution was conducted by
States Attorney Hall assisted by his
partner J. p. Cheever. Mr.. CheeveI
made straightforward statement OF
the case and his plea before the court
is highly spoken Of. Messrs. p. G..
Murphy and j. G. Jenkins appeared
in behalf of the defense and they
fought bravely for the release Of their
clients but the evidence was too solid
to be Overthrown. Their success in
securing the release of Miss Leary
was sufficient to merit praise upon
their efforts.

THE WAVES
Sailor Olsen Drowned in
the Bay.
Result of the Capsizing of a Boat
That Was Manned by Drunken
Marines.

Sailor Hans Olsen of the schooner Star
of Freedom was drowned in the inky
waters of the bav near Kng-sueet
wharf last night. The vessel is employed
in fishing, ana is manned by a master and
crew of four. She came into port few
days ago and anchored on the fats near
the wharf when the accident occurred.
The mate with Olsen, Thomas Coyle
and H S. Sampson left the vesseI early in
the evening and came ashore in a rowboat
to buy provisions for the next voyage
They went to several stores. and C0yle

until they felt thai they had nothing to
desire on the face of the earth. 1t
was $50 O'Clock when they stag
gered down to the wharf and de-
posted heir burdens of provisions
in the little boat. They embarked with
much difficulty and had rowed thirty or
forty feet toward the schooner when
Covle's oar slipped out of his hand and
vas lost. Regardless of consequences he
leaned over the SIDE Of the boat ard tried
10 catch the vanishing Implement The
boat lurehed and turned over. tossing its
crew ana cargo into the water.

The mate, Coyle and Samson were rescued.
but 0.sen was lost in the darkness. The
rescuIng party secured boats and made
long search for him without success, and
there is no doubt that he perished.
Coyle and Samson were taken TO the
Southern Station and booked Tor DRUNKEN

A NEW SWINDLE.
Advancing Money on Pawn.Tickets
for Worthless Goods.

The North Side is suffering just at present
from petty swlndlers. Scarcely day passes
but some clerk or assistant is swindled by
them, and the amount is generally so small that
complaints are not made to he police.
Barber-shops offer a fine field for these
swindlers. Grocery clerks have also been
cheated and In some instances the employees
OF the haberdashers have suffered. The swind.
lers generally appear as if they had been Ill in
health and fortune for long time. Their
clothes are frayed and they nave generally
dilapidated aspect.
A young knight OF the razor in North Hal.
sted street told me that he had been swihdled
out OF 81 by one man and out OTIS cents by a
pawnbroker. He was shaving a customer
week or so ago, when seedily attired man en-
tered. and waiting an opportunity. Displayed
pawntckets showing an advance of $40 on a
watch. $18 on diamond ring ana smaller
amounts on other articles.
"He offered to let.me have the tickets for 81,
and thought IL pawnbpoker would advance
$40 on watch it must certainly be worth
ouly advance third on the value OF goods ut
most. SO paid him the ST. aud he next day
went to th pawnbroker's shop.
II may be green, but that watch couldn't fool
me. 1t was of brass, thiniy washed with gold,
aud worth about S4. That pawn broker must
have hired the man take the tickets around.
for he wouldn't have given 81 on That time-
piece. wouldn't pay $50 and interest TO get 1t
out, and / am out 81.
1T wasn't long after that until had another
experience. A shabby individual came in here
aud told story OF misfortune He had been
compelled to pawn diamond ring, he said, for
S35. II was half a carat diamond, he said,
and be showed me a ticket. He said | could
inspect the ring If wanted before buying the
ticket, and so l went with him to fhe pawn
brokers.
"'Here's man to see that ring he said To
the pawnbrOker, handing him the ticket.
"Pl show you the ring II you give me 30
CENTS said the pawnbroker.
81 told the pawnbroker l wouldn't give so
cents 10 see he ring, but offered him % cents
ana he showed me the ring. 1t was one of hose
glass affairs that you can buy for 10 cents.
wouldn't buy it,aDd left, but he,had my quarter,
and have heard OF other quarters he has made
In the same way. It's a pretty easy way 10
make money-exhibltIng 10.cent rings for

While l was in the barber-shop man en-
tered and wanted TO sell pawn ticket for
pair of trousers for 81, but nobody would buy.

AZALEA KEYES' ESTATE.
The Heiress' Father Credited With a
Large Sum.

The account of w. S. Reyes, as guardian
and executor of the estate of his daughter,
Azalea G. Reyes, granddaughter of the late
Judge Clinton S. Hastings, was settled by
Judge Levy yesterday.
The account. it will be remembered, met
with opposition on The part of Mrs. Clara
Catherwood, one of the daughters Of Judge
Hastings and guardian of the estate of an
incompetent sister. Miss Ellen Hastings.
Mrs. CaiberwOod's account Of her own
trust went through the courts little while
ago, her brother-in-law, w. S. Keyes.
taking exception to several of the items.
From that fray Mrs. Catherwood emerged
triumphant, and her present action against
her brother-in-law was taken in a species
of requita
Mrs. Catherwood complained that W. S.
Reyes was legally bound to support his
own daughter, and that on that account
many of the impof tant items in his account
should not be charged against her. But
this is not the finding of Judge Levy. He
finds that Mr.. Keyes' lncomeis totally in
sufficient to enable him TO support his
daughter in that station of life TO which
she belongs as an heress of the late Judge
Hastings.
The account is ordered settled, and W. S.
Keyes credited with $4,000 out of his
daughters estate.
