VOTE FOR BONDS.
The City viii Vote For or Against Vs.
terworks Bonds Feb. I2.

The City VIII Vote For or Against Vs.
terworks Bonds Feb. IT.
At the meeting Of the city council
Monday evening resolution was
passed ordering special election to
be held Tuesday, Feb. IL, 1901, for the
purpose Of voting to bond the city in
a sum not to exceed $4,000 to estab-
lish general system OF waterworks.
The council felt justified In calling
a special election, as it is a well-known
fact that the Agricultural college is
without sufficient water supply and
the work OF the institution Is being
hampered on this account. The state
is being asked to furnish new build
ings which are absolutely necessary to
keep the college along in the line OF
progress. II a call is also made to
furnish separate system Of water
works, it will necessitate cutting down
the appropriation for new buildings.
Taking these facts into considera-
tion aud realizing that the city can
furnish water through a general sys-
tenn cheaper than the college author
tiles can by puttingin aprivate plant,
our people will at once decide that il
is TO the interest OF every prope rty
holder that the city at once take steps
to meet an absolute necessity.
There is a crying need for an extend
ed system of waterworks over the city
and after deducting first cost OF con-
struction there will be very little ad-
ditional expense in maintenance
above what it now costs TO keep up
the slight fire protection we have.
The REGISTER believes the bonds
should be voted and will have some
thing more to say along this line in
its next issue.

LEGISLATORS VISIT BRooKlNcs.
A Party OF LAw-Makers Visit the Agri

A Party OF Law Makers Visit the Agri-
cultural College.
On Friday a trainload OF legislators
departed from Pierre, intending to
visit all the state institutions east Of
the Missouri, but as usual the engine
failed to respond TO its required SER
vice and became so far behind time
that some Of the gentlemen who were
intending to visit Br0okings were un-
able to make connections. At Huron
Hon. Philo Hall, through kindness OF
General Superintendent +. Stewart,
secured a special train which brought
the visitors to Brookings at 2:30 p. m.
and were at once conducted TO the
college in carriages. After dinner
had been served by the department
of domestic science, the party was
given an opportunity to inspect the
buildings. 1t is to be regretted that
they could not have arrived during
the morning session so that they
might have seen the crowded condi-
tion of the school.
After a visit at the college the party
was driven to the public school build
ing and there were numerous express
sions OF surprise at the magnitude OF
our educational advantages. Among
the visitors present were:
SENATORS.

sudden Death.

The infant child OF Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Sherwin, Jr., died suddenly OF
spinal meningitis Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o'clock, at the age OF I months
and day. The little one had not
been feeling well and as it grew sud-
denly worse Mr.. Sherwin drove to this
city for physician. While the father
was gone death came and claimed the
first born. Mrs. Sherwin was alone at
the time and her feelings can only be
imagined. The funeral was held
from the residence Of Mr.. Frank Sher-
win. Sr., this morning at 1890 and
the remains conveyed to Greenwood
cemetery for burial. The bereaved
parents have the heartfelt sympathy
OF the community.
