The real significance OF this meeting
Is not known, but 1t is surmised that
the doughty colonel has laid his plans
for an endorsement Of his candidacy
by the Kingsbury county convention.
1t is reported that Col. Stover also
interviewed prominent republicans Of
Brookings with the same object In
view. The colonel Is very active In
his canvass and has already secured
the endorsement Of several county
conventions.

retary.
On motion a committee OF three
consisting Of Ole Hovey, Oslo town
ship, /. Atkinson, Sherman, and
James Cheatham, Brookings city,
we've named on credentials.
A motion was made for commit
tee of three on platform and resolu-
tions but it failed to carry.
On motion a committee OF three
was appointed on rules and perma-
nent organization. The commi ttee

ton, Geo. Benson, Sinai, and Allen

ling, Lake Sinai, Medary, Winsor,

reka and Aurora. On motion the re-
port OF the committee was accepted

The committee on rules and perma-
nent organization recommended that
the temporary organization be made
permanent, that the nominations be
made in the order that they appeared
in the published call, that the conven-
tion first proceed to an informal and
then formal ballot on each office to
be voted upon, and that nominating

each, that the county commissioners
OF the I'd and 4th commissioner dis
tricts, respectively, be selected by tine
delegates present from those districts
and that the county committee be Sc
lected by the delegates present from
each precinct. The committee alst
recommended that the nominations
for representative be made by dis
tricts. The report being adopted, At
kinson, of Sherman, moved that the
committee make further report BY
designating the boundaries OF the
representative districts. The com
mittee at once reported that they de
sired to withhold the selection unit
after the nomination for state sena
tor was made.
| At this juncture Hooker, OF Brook
lngs, moved to proceed with the regu

"a Wise woman" VIII be Here.

"a Wise Woman" the three-act
musical comedy by Wilfred Clarke,
who is also responsible for that great
success, "Oh! Susanah!" has been Sc
cured for Friday, Sept. 7, at the
Brookings opera house. This is for
tunate booking for Manager Phillips
and one worthy Of special notice as
the attraction is to be seen In but
very few one-night stands this season,
its time having been almost entirely
booked in the larger cities Of the
country. This is strong evidence OF
the strength of the company.

On motion L. Fl. Comstock Of
Brookings City, and Ole Aslackson, Of
Stockings township, were chosen

Old Frigate Franklin WiR Soon Be
 Abandoned as Useless.
 From the Washington Star: She ancient frigate Franklin, a relic Of the old wooden navy, which has been used for many years as receiving ship at the Norfolk navy yard. is soon to be 3 deserted hulk said naval officer jBho has recently visited the Virginia naval station. She was examined not long ago by board of officers and it is be- lieved they will submit condemnatory report. The policy of the department, as is generally understood, is to dc away with the time-honored but an- tiquated and out=of-date system of re- ceiving ships. substituting for them shore barracks similar in general char acter to the quarters occupied by en- listed men at army posts The tackles of the old school are much opposed to this plan. They cling to their old fogy Ideas of seafaring life and believe recruit should be placed upon the water from the very first. To break him in on shore and have him live in bar racks. they say. will make the fellow a landlubber all of his natural life. While the receiving ships of today are noth. ing more than great floating houses, there is nevertheless an air of the sea about them and this the old dogs among the men love. Dismantled and roofed over, the ships haven't much resemblance to a seagoing craft. An other thing in connection with the re- eeiying ships is that the families of commanding officers are allowed to live aboard The Franklin is historic old boat, and it has been suggested that one might buy her when she is put up at auction and place the craft on ex- hibition in different ports. This would hardly seem to be a profitable under. sakinq
