MILBANK, S. D., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY Z, 1902.

The members and friends of
the ladies aid society will have a
mystery meeting at The home
of Mrs. J. N. Stafford next Thurs
day afternoon. Come and. help
solve the mystery.
Rev. E. S. Chapel, agent Of
the children home at Sioux
Falls, came down on the Sisseton
line Tuesday with two little boys
which he had secured at Sisseton
and Wilmot, one of whom he was
taking to the children home
and the other to the institute for
the feeble minded at Redfeld.
A. H. Tasker, George Friday
and Mr.. Vogelsang of Albee
faced the storm to Milbank,
Monday and went home il the
afternoon. Mr.. Friday says
that the people of Albee are
discussing proposition to build
a two-story school house in
town the coming season. The
present school is some distance
from the village, and tits believed
that much larger attendance
and better school facilities should
be provided. The question of
building a town hall is also being
discussed.
The fact that Milbank was for a
number of years the home of w.
H. Jordan, and that the church
here was his first regular pastor
ate, will give an added interest
to the lecture to be given here
Wednesday evening, February
10Th, by DR.. Jordan. The lee
ture of itself will be we'll worth
listening to as it has been most
highly spoken of by both press
and people wherever it has been
delivered. The Sioux City Jour
nal pays it this tribute: "W. H.
Jordan, of Sioux Falls, was in
troduced by Mayor Quick, and
delivered the address for the
occasion, which was profoundly
appreciated by the tremendous
audience, and which has earned
the accomplished orator many
tributes of praise.

The Detel Nut.

Betel nuts, the produce Of the areca
palm. are chiefly used as masticatory
by the natives Of the east. They are
too small to be applied to many orna-
mental uses. but are occasionally en-
ployed by the turner and wrought into
beads for bracelets. small rosary cases
and other little fancy articles In the

there is a walking stick made of these
nuts. sliced. mounted or supported on

Sumln school.

Superintendent Ramer has
been making arrangements with
the county superintendent of
Big Stone, Lac qui Parle and
Swift counties in Minnesota,
looking to the uniting of the
four counties with that of Grant
in the summer school at Big
Stone lake next June. The time
for the school will be set so that
the last two weeks will be during
the Chautauqua season. The
county superintendents of the
counties ramed expect to make
the school this year surpass all
former years, and while the in
structors have not yet all been
secured, they will be among the
strongest that can be obtained.
There will be seven or eight of
them, and Latin, mathematics,
English history, literature,
science, music and drawing will
be covered. The school will be
held from June 9 to July 5. and
thereis every evidence that there
will be at least 400 teachers in
attendance this year. The teach
ers association already has a
convenient boarding house on
the grounds and it is the inten-
ton to supplement this with a
dormitory for the accommoda-
ton of $50 persons.

SCHOOL BUILDING.
Agricultural College
Engineering Building

The new state buildings that have
been in the course Of construction for
the past four months are now com.
pleted and were accepted by the board
OF regents on the 10th of December,
although the work was practically
complete on the first day Of the
month SO far as Contractor Nielsen
was concerned. Mr.. Nielsen COM
menced work on these buildings the
first week in August and cer-
tainly did very quick job. No other
state buildings of their size and pro-
portions have been erected In so short
time. At the same time Mr.. Nielsen
has done other work in and about the
city which reflects great credit upon
his ability to perform good and rapid
work. Among other things he built
the city's new brick power house and
chimney, the brick chimney at the
Brookings Roller Mills, a brick resi-
deuce for himself and placed the steel
trusses under the new public school
building.
The new engineering building is a
credit to the state. It was originally
planned by Fl. G. Solberg. M. E., who
is a graduate Of the institution and
now at the head OF the mechanical
and engineering department. With
out going into the history OF Prof.
Solbsrg's repeated attempts to secure
this much needed building for his de-
partment, we would say that he now

chanical engineering and physics.
The building faces the west, the
main portion being two stories high,
with high roof, relieved by dormer
windows, which gives the appearance
of three-story structure.
The plainess of the front elevation
is relieved by handsome portico,
which has a triple arch, the front
supports OF which are two polished
granite pillars, adorned with capitals
OF Corinthian design. Across the top
is q heavy balustrade of galvanized
iron. An ornamental iron railing
graces the front at each side Of the
granite pillars. The floor of the por-
tico is laid with tiling and the whole
forms very handsome approach to
the building. Upon arriving at the
top OF a flight of stone steps you are
attracted by large granite slab
placed In the walls of the brick work
and surmounted by an arch of the
same construction. This slab bears
the inscription, physics and Engin-
eering--l90l." Above the inscription
Is chiselled an anvil and two sledges
to represent mechanics, and pair OF
balances to represent physics.
That part of the building which is
more than one story high is 65x100
feet on the ground. To this are at
tached two wings, each one In an L
shape and extending back ITO feet.
The average width of each Of these
wings is more than 40 feet. Some
conception of the size of the building
can be arrived at when 1t Is known
that the roof covers a half acre of
ground and contains 100000 shingles.
A half million brick, l3 cars of
dressed stone and Al cars Of Sioux
Falls granite were used 10 its con-
struction. The labor cost $500. 1t
is probably the largest building ever
erected In the state for the money.
