NEW GRAND OPERA HOUSE.-The re-
turn of the Ching Ling Foo Company, won
der workers, to the New Grand this week
resulted in big audiences yesterday after
noon and evening. The spectators enjoyed
a novel sight as they filed in the play house
last night. robust man wearing a long
light coat and pink silk high hat was pa
rading up and down before the theater car
rying big banner upon which was painted
the information that desirable seats to the
show could be obtained across the street
This move was the result of the campaign
inaugurated by Manager Chase against the
ticket spectators. The latter are evidently
working on hard lines, as there were sew
eral rows of vacant seats last night in the
! best part of the house, which clearly de-
| nl.nstrated that they were left with the
| tickets on their hands. Remarks favorable
| TO Mr.. Chase We're heard on all sides as to
! the stand taken by him in this movement
| The show itself is pleasing throughout
Ching Ling Foo and his companions are in
| deed wonders in their line. and as usual

Gilbert H. Lian Dead.

Gilbert n. Lien, brother Of ex- May
or Lien, died very suddenly Saturday
night about midnight of congestion of
the brain.
The announcement of his death was
great surprise to practically every
one as but very few or the most inti-
mate friends OF the family even knew
that Mr.. Lien was sick. He was out
on the streets Friday see ningly In the
best Of health, but Saturday morning
he complained of feeling i'll and later
complained Of great pains In his head.
Medical aid was summoned and the
physicians pronounced his illness a
case of congestion OF the brain. Three
physicians were called and they did all
in their power to save him but M.
Lien gradually sank and passed away
as stated above.
Mr.. Lien was large and strong
man and 1t is thought that through
considerable exercising in the heat Of
the past few days that he over exerted
himself and as a result small blood
vessel of the brain was ruptured caus-
ing death.
Mr.. Lien was 81 years Of age at the
time OF his death. Twenty-Five years
ago with his parents he removed to
Brookings where he resided until
something over year ago when he
came to Sioux Falls and engaged In
the real estate business and has resid-
ed here with his mother and sister
ever since. He was of a retiring dis
position and gave most of his attention
to business and as consequence did
not make large circle of aquaintanc-
es. He was well liked by those who
knew him.
The remains will be taken to Brook
ings for burial. Mr.. Lien was a broth
er Of ex-mayor B. H. Lien and of late
Lieutenant Jonas Fl. Lien.--Argus-
Leader.

6RooKlNcs TO HAVE A HOSPITAL.

| Two Well Known and Competent Phys
| icians Engage In the Enterprise.
The Norwegian Baptist church
property standing at the corner of
Pierce and Brookings streets has been
remodeled into twelve room house
that will soon be converted into hos
pital.
Drs. G.. j. Collier and e. G. Miller OF
this city have leased the building and
In months time expect to have 1t
furnished and equipped for the use OF
patients. Trained nurses will be
hired and all preparations made for
the care and comfort of guests taking
treatment. Operating rooms will be
provided with modern appliances and
their anticeptic conditions will make
successful surgical operations possible.
In fact Brookings is to have a first
class hospital where patients can be
treated without having to travel long
distances, at great expense, to obtain
relief.
These gentlemen are competent to
take charge of large number Of the
difficult cases that are going elsewhere
but have passed them up owing to the
fact that they have not been equipped
for their handling. As it is, they are
constantly performing operations
where patients need the care OF
trained assistance for perfect and
complete recovery.
With rooms prepared for the work
and always ready for use--with the
instruments and appliances necessary
and ready at hand-with trained and
competent nurses for the care of pa
tients, they cannot fail OF soon estab-
fishing splendid reputation and a
successful hospital practice.
1t Is the intention to add to the re-
sources of the institution as occasion
demands. 1t may be necessary to add
one or more physicians to the medical
staff, which they are prepared to do,
and, II the institution proves all they
hope for it, building will be erected
that In many respects will be better
adapted for hospitalpurposes.
With Drs. Collier and Miller at the
head it will be sufficient guarantee
that the hospital will be properly and
successfully conducted and hundreds
OF people who are now taking treat
ment in st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Rochester. will stop at Brookings
when its reputation once gets though
ly established.
That 1t will be good thing for
Brookings goes without saying and its
Establishment should be fostered and
encouraged by her citizens.

Take Notice.

f 7
The attention OF the public is re-
spsctfully called to the fact that on
Aug. 7th, 9Th and eth the people OF
Brookings will entertain the Retail
Druggists Association Of South d.
kota. Representative citizens 0f our
state will visit here during that time
and it Is quite important that We
should make as favorable an impress
sion as our city always has, on the.
visitors. To this end it is suggested
that resident lot-owners should make
an effort to cut and destroy all grass
and weeds growing along sidewalk
lines fronting their premises as we'll
as along alleys and through the back
lots.
The city will endeavor to trim up
the roadway as far as possible. but IL
is impossible to reach the sidewalk
line on accout OF trees and other OBJ
stacles.
Trusting that this matter will have
the attention Of our citizens, I am
very respectfully,

S. NJ CASTOR, ID. J. Darrow, G.. j.
Collier and r. s. Lyon. The building
committee seemed to have struck a
snag shortly after this period and the
organization run aground, for from
Dec. II, 1882, to Aug. ], 1884. the
church records are a, complete blank.
Tradition informs us that this period
was one Of darkness, discouragement
and trial incident to young and weak
organizations. The congregation was
without building or regular pastor
had only irregular preaching and with
seemingly nothing to hold it together.
Aug. l, 1884, however, seems to have
been rallying day, as a congrega-
tional meeting was called and held at
the NJ. K. church. A committee was
appointed to investigate the building
committee, the congregation and the
whole business Of Presbyterian or
ganization in Brookings. Another
meeting was fixed for Aug. Sth and
the matter or building discussed. A
committee consisting of w. q. Lock
hart, d. j. Darrow, j. OBJ. Scobey,
James Hauxhurst, Mrs. Cornelia Fish
back and Mrs. Edith Hopp were ap-
pointed with she power to accept
plans and let the contract for a build
ing not to exceed in cost $4,000.
As the result OF this action the
building now occupied by the society
was built, and occupied for the first
time on Sunday, Jan. IL, 1885. The
church was dedicated Oct. 10, 1885.
1t was on Jan. l, 1885, that the society
had its first regular supply and Rev.
Alex. S. Foster became the pastor Of
this church From that time to the
present its growth has been slow, but
constant and continued and now num-
bers ITO members in good standing.
The society has been particularly for
tunate, inasmuch as its number of
pastors have been few. Mr.. Foster
was followed by A. NJ. Work, elected
June I3, 1887. Mr.. Work resigned In
October, 1894. and G. c. Hoffmeister
became pastor about year later. K.
1. Davies succeeded Mr.. Horfmeister,
and he In turn by w. NJ. Jennings,
the present pastor of the church.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The largest auxiliary to this society
is its Sabbath school. 1t was organ
lied Jan. %, 1885, with ten scholars,
large and small, and o. H. Parker was
elected superintendent. From this
small beginning the school has grown
to such proportions that 1t is hard to
accommodate the assembly. The en-
rollment is 300 and the average at
tendance during the past three
months has been 2l2. The present
superintendent is Prof. f. E. Boyden
and ID. FL. Campbell, secretary.
LADIES AID SOCIETY.
The church has always had splen.
did auxiliary In the Ladies' Aid So
ciety and would often have fareG
pretty slim financially without theil
aid. This society was organized Dec
IL, 1882, with Mrs. s. M. CASTOR a:
president. The first four years of its
existence the ladies raised between
800 and $500; ninety dollars Of which
purchased the lots that the founda'
tion walls of the new structure are
now resting upon, and t265.O0 was ap
piled on the church debt. Their
membership now numbers over seventy
and at their last meeting they voted
to turn over to the building com.
mittee 100000 to aid In building
operations. The present officers are
Mrs. G.. J. .Coller, president; Mrs,
