The Largest Gathering Held for Years
and Most Enthusiastic Of Any
Yet Held.

The twelfth annual convention OF
the state w. G. It. u. convened in
Brookings at the Baptist church,
which had been tastefully decorated
decorated with flowers, flags, bunting
and pledge cards strung on ribbon for
the occasion, at 5 o'clock Saturday
morning, September lst. Notwith-
standing the oppressive heat, eighty
delegates, representing sixty-fve
unions, were present. Every state
officer and many of the state supsrin-
tendsnts answered present ct roll call.
The entire day was spent In listening
to the report of work done in the diff
ferent departments, nearly every re-
port showing the work TO be rapidly
increasing. But one union was re-
ported dead against five new unions
organized last year, and three of those
reported dead have been revived. The
problem that puzzled the convention
most to solve was how to raise funds
TO carry on our ever increasing work.
In the evening q reception was
given the convention by the people OF
Brookings. The national president
and vics-president, Mrs. Il. NJ. N.

Stevens and Miss Anna Gordon hav-
ing arrived on the evening train, were
accorded royal welcome by the con-
vention and the people Of Brookings.
The heart of every white-ribboner
beat with Joy when the mayor told US
that Brookings had not been disgraced
by having saloon within her limits
for thirteen years, and instead Of her
business interests being ruined for
lack Of the rum traffic, the valuation
had nearly doubled during that time.
Sunday Mrs. Stevens gave two ad-
dresses. morning and evening, to
crowded houses. Miss Gordon gave
three addresses, morning, afternoon
and evening, to crowded houses. At
the close of Miss Gordon's address In
the evening fourteen new members
were added to the Brookings union.
In the afternoon Mrs. Bidwell, Of
Mitchell and Miss Gordon organized a
loyal temperance league OF sixty-five
members.
Monday morning the usual rouJine
work OF the convention was resumed.

ALI who went cut were surprised at
the splendor Of the grounds and

Ringing resolutions were passed
along the different lines of our work
aud petitions were sent to President
Mckinley, our United States senators
and members Of congress condemning

raised, was practically under prohibi-

whose people previously used only
very light wines and those very spar

somewhat disappointing, as we had
figured that the late census would
show something near 5000.
II the present rapid growth con-
tinues, however, 1t will take Brookings
but q few years to reach and pass this

census was taken In June and the
