A not infrequent way Of esti-
mating the population OF a town
has been by multiplying the
number of voters by four. We
understand that the new census
gives the population of Milbank
and Webster at about the same
figures, but according to the
vote test there should be quite
a divergence in favor Of Milbank.
For instance the total vote OF
Milbank was 1856, which multi
piled by four would place the
population at 1,544 The total
vote of Webster was 26O, which
by the same test would place the
population of that city at 1,O4O
| 1t would be matter of interest
to know just how this divergence
| in the vote test occurs.

MnD Of North and south Dakota.

The Dakota Farmer has pre-
pared map containing the two
Dakotas, printed in four colors,
and on scale Of q miles TO the
inch. 1t shows all the township
lines, railroads, rivers, lakes,
towns and post offices, and on
the reverse side i, a map of the
world. The HERALD ADVANCE
ha, made arrangements with
the Dakota Farmer whereby it
can furnish this map and the two
papers for 8. Call and see it
at the HERALD Office. Here
is an opportunity to get this fine
map, the best agricultural paper
in the west and your local paper
for little more than either one
of them is worth Of itself.

The official vote of the county,
as canvassed last week, is print
ed in this issue, showing a re
publican majority of nearly 600.
The county officers were mostly
elected by smaller majorities, but
all by very comfortable hgures.
The local campaign was quite
generally conducted without bit
terness or indulging in personal
tiles, the fight being along party
lines. Indeed the very excellent
tickets put up by both parties
gave opportunity for a good,
clean fight. The men on the fu-
sion ticket were unobjectionable
in every respect except their
politics, which the people by an
Overwhelming majority believe
was wrong. However, the war
is now over, and we can all unite
in building up the interests OF
Milbank and Grant county.

Resolution.

The following tribute of broth
erlv affection in memory OF the
late E. d. Ely was adopted by
Milbank Lodge, No. 20, A. +. and
a. M. at it's last regular meeting:
The grim messenger OF death
has again visited our member
ship and removed from among
us our brother. E. D. Ely, duti
ful son, loving husband, a kind
father, and a true mason. A
craftsman who loved his mason
ic duties, who followed his mason
ic teachings and who taught
masonic virtues. One who thor
ouyhly believed in the brother
hood of man and llbored for the
sublimeprinciples which underlle
the great uplifting and upbuild-
ing of mankind. He was a true
and faithful brother among us.
His place in our meetings and
our work will long be untitled.
But the Supreme Architect of
the Universe in his infinite wis
dom summoned him from his
labOrs hereunder to the ever
lasting refreshment of heaven.
Our brother, realizing that his
feet were fast slipping toward
the dark and narrow house where
silence reigns, still knew that
this was not the end of man
and of the aspiring hope of all
faithful masons. His trust was
in that bible which points beyond
the silent grave a1d bids us turn
our eyes with faith and conf
dence upon the opening scenes
of our eternity.
To the brethren his strict at.
tention to masonic work and
teaching is an example to inspire
them to follow more closely their
masonic duties. To live and
serve like him, SO that when We
stand naked and alone before the
Great White Throne, our wei
come, like his, shall be "wel
done y
The bereaved family and rel
atives of our departed brother
have the assurance of our heart
felt sympathies in the hour 0
their sufferings aud sorrow
They shall miss him in his famil.
home, and we, in his masoDi
home. His memory we will rex
erence together.

SCHOOL NOTES
LOLA PREyEY. Editor.

Miss Jessie Thomas is teaching Ger
man at her rooms evenings. If others
wish to join her class, see her at once,
for she will only take limited num-
ber.
Our Roll of Honor is so large that
it NAV be asking too much for our pa
pers to publish it every month. We
will try to make more of our School
Notes.
The different rooms are busy pre-
pairing their programs for public en-
tertanment which will be rendered the
day before Thanksgiving. Parents
and friends are all cordially invited.
The three RS, reading writing and
arithmetic. are being resurrected IN
our school. The art of spelling Is no
longer a lost art, as was shown in the
excellent spelling match last Friday.
A very interesting spelling match
was held last Friday forenoon, be-
tween tn Seniors and Eighth grade.
| Supt. Burkhead pronounced 426 words.
The Judges reported that the Seniors
did not make amiss, and therefore they
were dec Jared victors. About dozen
of the sth grade came out of the battle
without a scratch.
The Seniors gave their first party
Oct. 26, 1900, at the schoo. house. The
evening was spent in singing and play
inr games. The houored guests being
Mr.. Waughop, Mr.. August Port, Mr.
Sneider, Mr.. Layman, Mr.. Demons
sullivan, Mr.. Hanson, Mr.. George
Phelan. and our honorable chaperon,
Mrs. Ed Healy. From all reports, the
only regrets were that the evening was
not longer.
The Seniors have very Sensibly con-
cluded to have but one party a term,
one in three months, not more thaf
three during the year. Now II they
should vote to be at home and IN bee
as early as 1000 F. NJ. or HOO +. Nj.
we should note that they are wise,
than seniors generally are. Juniors
of course. should be under the advice
of their parents. All admit that teach
ers and students should not be on
!. late when there IS school the next day
and our pupils are very good to sc
lect Friday or Saturday evenings TO
their class parties.
Parents, do not blame the teacher

Yet again has the cold, cruel,
clammy hand Of the law fallen
upon Milbank's Don Juan, the
same ardent lover who created
quite sensation a few months
ago as the hero III a foot race,
with the other fellow close Sec
ond, carrying a scythe and large
amount of vengeance. His run
ming proclivities were again IN
evidence shortly after, when he
was the star attraction in a foot
race up Main street, clad only in
garments of summer underwear,
d costume that could hardly be
called full dress in the most
primitive Of polite society. Again
was he the winner ia this prom
enade, though an irate husband
was not far behind, and he es-
capped by falling into the arms of
the law and seeking its protection.
After an examination he was sen
fenced to pay fine, and a part OF
, this sentence was suspended on
condition that he should go hence
and not return, and he has since
been living on the Minnesota side
of the state line. But the scenes
: of his trials, his triumphs and
: his tribulations on Dakota soil
!? were constantly in his mind; like
r a patriot in exile he longed to
again look upon his native heath
and view the beauties of the land

S it. Not in the heat and glare OF
d the day, with j brass band an
d nouncing his arrival, would he

but in the stiffness of the night

A South Dakota goose which
had faithfully stuck to business
and laid a dozen large, faWn-col-
ored eggs, complained that she
was not appreciated. "See that

''she hasn t laid as many eggs as

written about her and verses
composed in her honor, while no.
body is saying a word about me.

wise old rooster standing near,

He Soon Found Out When 1t Was Time
to Stop Drinking

drinking habit before they know it. or
rather. realize how far they have gone In
some instances they are born to It, but
thank heaven that kind are in the minor
ity. 1 know how 1t was in my case. Up
to the time l was twenty-five had trained

kind Of horse sense all men ought to he
who have the business training of young
men in their Feeping. l did not neglect my
business and had been receiving promo
TORS right along. and when my friends
suggested that 1 was drinking too much
and that 1t would finally get me down
laughed at them and took my drinks Just
the same l sincerely thought they didn't
know what they were talking about. and
1 did not think the liquor was hurting me
or that ! couldn't let 1t alone when l want

several occasions, and | laughed at him
and called his attention to the fact that I

Two years, and If the liquor was doing for
me what he said it would that could not

too. and felt that l would drop it quick
enough if it were injuring me-
"One day the head of the house called
me into his office and told me he was
afraid ] was getting too fond of LIQUOR I
laughed at him. too. in a very respectful
manner. however, and told him they were
all mistaken. and that really felt no bad
effects and could stop at any time if |

same old argument used by every young

so much harm that If hear of your get

l can see more than you can, and still
may be mistaken and you may be all right.
However. l shall give the house the bene-
fit of the doubt. and get a man to take
your place who does not drink.
Then for the first time realized that I
was being injured. and the realization w:,s
direct and positive. 1t couldn't be laughed
of. and though Mr.. b. might be mistaken,

may take a drink occasionally, and some
of them have taken glass Of wine at

abuse of liquor. not its use"
