PUBLIC PARK.
Frank Sherwn Makes the City a Liberal
Offer Chance TO Get One.

Mr.. Sherwin the owner OF Pleasant
Hill addition TO the city OF BrOokings
appeared before the board Of alder
man Monday night and proposed deed
ing a block OF land in the addition to
the city for park purposes, under GER
tain conditions.
From Mr.. Sherwin the REGISTER
learns that these conditions are that
the city raise $1,000 with which to
improve the property that is to say,
he wants the city to properly grade it,
put in good walks and drives, set out
trees, provide city water, and spend
the money In any way they see b in
beaut't' 'ng the park. This money
CT Dn ra!sed in two installments, one
.A'.- IT, this year and one thousand
neA = necessary. But the work
must be begun this season and
kept up
q An eighty foot street will be plated
and left on all sides Of this block for
the use OF the public. and Mr.. Sher-
wins only desire is to have the park
and its surroundings made beautiful
and attractive so that the people may
enjoy 1t.
The location may not be an ideal
one but it is the best we know Of un-
der present conditions. Br0okings
has been slow In providing anything
OF this kind that affords pleasure for
its own people as well as attracting
the eye Of strangers, and it would
seem that proposition such as Mr..
Sherwin makes could be accepted at
this time as the least expensive and
most desirable that could be had.
In most cities of any pretentiOns, a
public park is the pride OF its citizens.
1t enhances the value of property by
the beauty OF its surroundings and
affords pleasure to everyone who de-
sires to avail themselves OF its privel-
| eyes.
An Improvement OF this character,
in the proposed location, ought TO
prove good advertisement for the
city. 1t would attract the eye OF
everyone who might pass through
Brookings over the Northwestern
railway.

Matrimonial.

HoPKINs-PoND-At the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Pond, Tuesday
May 20th, 1902, occurred the marriage
Of their accomplished daughter, Miss
Ora NJ, to DR.. Merle 4. Hopkins, OF
Elkton, S. D., Rev. A. M. Work,
Ph. d., OF Flandreau, officiating.
This was a very pretty home we'd
ding. The guests included the
resident relatives OF the contracting
parties and few Of the very intimate
friends OF the bride and groom The
wedding march was played by Miss
Hopkins, of Estelline, sister OF the
groom, and the marriage ceremony
was the beautiful but simple service
of the Presbyterian church.
The congratulations were without
reserve and the presents-both in
beauty and intrinsic value--showed
the esteem in which these young peo-
pie are held. ..--"
Dainty and ample refreshments
were served, after which DR.. Hopkins
took his bride on the :l5 p. m. train
to Elkton, where they will reside, the
doctor having Just built and furnished
a home. ...
Thus Brookings looses one of its
most beautiful and accomplished
young ladies and Elkton has added to
its number and to the efficiency OF It's
successful professional life.

ings-Water and Light.

A Madison Special sent out to the
daily papers says that this city owns
aud operates its own electric light and
water works plant, and according to
the report Of the city auditor for the
year ending April 80, the enterprise
has proven to be a financial success.
The receipts for the year amounted to
s., 6l0 05, and the expenditures, includ-
ing all repairs and Improvements and
wages, amounted to S7,97S so. This
gives the city neat profit of $63l. 80 on
the years business, besides its light
and water, absolutely free Of cost. The
people here regard the experiment Of
municipal ownership as a demonstrat-
ed success and they could not be per-
suaded to turn this franchise over to a
private corporation. During the past
year 7S5 new lights have been installed.
There are now 3,025 lights wired in,
besides those on the streets. There
are 240 taps to the water mains and 272
consumers. The city has five and one-
half miles of mains and as fire hy-
drants. The total expenses of the city
for the past year were $40, 9,9l0.34. The
gross income from water and light for
1900 was s., 344. 36; for 1901 it was &c.
963 65, and for this year s., 224 .l5, which
certainly makes a good showing for
the growth of Madison"

A Great Mine Fire,

One of the greatest fires in history
"a subterranean conflagration which
has already been raging for over
twenty years-is causing renewed in
terest in the coal mining districts OF
Nova Scotia. All efforts to circum-
vent the flames have proved fruitless
The scene of the disaster is near the
mining town of New Glasgow, in cne
peninsula province, down by the sea,
and the fire originated in 1880. 1t IS
burning in a rich seam OF coal thirty
feet thick, and in a mine which, has a
shaI. 1000 feet deep. The problem
of extinguishing the flames is no near
er solution than it was twenty-one
years ago. Water has been let in but
the fire is above the sea level, and the
extensive work of flooding has had no
effect. After many futile efforts to
eXtinguish the fire the engineers di-
rected their efforts toward devising
plans for circumventing it and reach
ing the coal. still intact To that end
all approaches leading to the fire and
all the neighboring workings were
driven lower down. But every plan
SO far devised has proved a failure.

Facts for Our Farmers.


old-fashioned stables of those who be-
leve in having them out of doors
during the day, and it may be that it
is so necessary TO their well-being
that few hours outing may do them
good enough to counterbalance the in
jury done by being out in the cold.
Sunlight is as necessary 20 the
thrifty and healthy growth of animals
as of plants. Every stable or place
where they are kept should be well
lighted upon the south side. not only
by having plenty of glass, but that
glass kept clean enough to allow the
sun to penetrate it freely. We have
seen glass so Opaque with cobwebs
and dirt as to admit only enough light
to allow one to grope his way about
in semi-darkness. The dim religious
light" of the ancient and some modern
churches, is not good enough for a
barn. We do not care for blue glass
or other stained glass, but want a
clear, clean, transparent glass, that
will let in the full rays of the sun.
Even double sashes of glass now cost
but little more for the space they oc-
cupy than thessiding and painted clap
boards, or single sash with a curtain
to shut out the cold at night.
Not every one can afford new barns
with the modern improvements, but
many old ones could be so changed at
small expense as to make the stables
much warmer and lighter, and when
this is done they will be found a bet
ter place for dairy COWS than the
barnyard, when the temperature is
below freezing, or when there is
cold wind or rain.
With grains at present prices. there
is no better economy than to keep the
cattle in comfortably warm stables.
1t saves food, and stimulates better
milk production. With sunlight and
pure air it prevents disease, and for
young and growing stock it gives a
thrifty growth that cannot be obtain
ed in the barnyard. 1t protects from
accidents which may occur when one
animal is quarrelsome or tyrannical
over weaker ones, and if the arrange
ments are such that they must be let
out to drink, make the hours of out
ing as brief as possible, letting out a
few at time seeing that all have a
chance to get to the trough before
they are put in and others let out.

Morals of the Child.

The moral development of the child
begins almost as soon as it's mental,
and the two march hand in hand. The
home is the place where correct moral
principles should be first instilled in
the mind of the child, and neglect of
this may mean endless suffering for
parents and child. Too often this is
left to the servants, relatives, or the
teachers later. The parent who can
neglect this side of the child's develop
ment, and trust it to somebody else, is
not worthy of the responsibility that
has been conferred upon her The neg
lect is not altogether intentional, but
more often due to lack of energy and
forethought. The work does got begin
early enough, and the little mind gets
warped before the lessons are taught

per cent. per month. The note was
given October 10. 1899, to James 3.
Brooks. The interest amounted to
So month, and Isaacs paid it for five
months. The suit was brought orig
inally in the justices court, and Jus
tice of the Peace Cook gave judg-
ment last year against Knox on the
ground that the interest was ucon-
scionable. An appeal was taken to
the superior court Judge Hebbard
remarked that the interest seemed
eXorbitant, and Brooks explained that
when the loan was made Isaacs pro-
posed to repay the SO at the end of
a month, and was wIuIng to pay So
for its use for that time. Interest for
seventeen months was due, and Judge
Hebbard gave judgment for $40 prin-
cipal and so4 interest. The plaintiff
asked also for So for counsel fee, but
Judge Hebbard said that the award of
counsel fees was left TO the discre-
ton of the court, and he denied this
request-San Francisco Chronicle.

KING GOALS CENTENNIAL
Historic Experiment Tried 100 Years
400

One hundred years ago February
eleventh the leading residents OF the
town of Wilkesbarre, Pa, gathered in
Fells tavern and success sfully demon
strated the practical value Of anthra-
cite coal as fuel. The winter was
severe, and rumoTS having reached
the town that the black rock. which
was found about the town in plenty,
was fuel and gave good heat. it
was decided to try it. At first the
landlord of the tavern hesitated ow-
ing to the expense incurred in build
ing new fireplace, but after several
friends volunteered to stand their
share, Mr.. Fell consented. A crate
was built and most of the notable
persons in the town assembled at the
tavern to see the event, which was
successful beyond their most SAN
guine expectations. Mr.. Fell and his
companions circled eagerly about the
new fireplace. piled wood upon the
bottom of the grating, dumped coal
on top, and after igniting it, watched
breathlessly for results. After a
Willie SOluS Vi luS coal was seen 10
fall apart, but the greater part of it
glowed, and soon after burned mer-
rily. After the incident of that night
the practical use of anthracite coal
was assured.
Recently, in celebration Of the
centennial, the city officials OF
Wilkesbarre and men prominently
identified with the coal industry in
Pennsylvania and other states, as
sembled in the room where the his
toric experiment was made and
listened to papers and addresses COM
memorative of the event. The CRATE
which was used on the eventful night
of February IL, 1902, still exists. 1t
was the center of much attraction at
the centennial exposition in Phita-
delphia in 1876 and was stolen at the
close of the exhibition. Detectives
recovered it after weeks OF search
later it was stolen again and was
again recovered. The wall which
first held it crumbled some time ago,
but was rebuilt and made to look just
like the original.

Police Watch Women's Clubs.

All on account of Emma Goldman
some of the least dangerous organiza-
lions Of women are under police sur
veillance. When the fiery woman
Anarchist spoke few weeks ago in
a hall on the East Side two detectives
were detailed to watch proceedings
closely and see that there was no in
citation to lawlessness. The affair
proved tame enough, but the police
became imbued with suspicion Of the
place and ever since have kept watch
over the meetings. The Society for
the Study of Life seemed to the police
a queer thing with it's discussion of
subjects that women had no business
to be mixed up in, and they have kept
an eye open for its proceedings. Sew
