the cause for which he was ordained,
have com bined to gain for himself the
love and respect Of the community.
The vast crowd that greeted his
farewell sermon at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday evening bears tes
timony to the good will Of our people,
who, while regretting his departure,
connot but hope for his success where
ever he may go. AS president Of the
Baptist college at Sioux Falls a field
is open for unlimited possibilities and
the REGISTER rests easy in the belief
that he will rise to the occasion, CIV
ing to that institution a new life and
vigor that cannot fail in its results
for good and the upbuilding of that
institution.
A public farewell reception will be
rendered him and his family at the
First Baptist church on Saturday
evening, June 9Th, from $50 to 10
o'clock and all friends are cordially In

Right to Be Proud.

P NJ. and Martin Thompsonreturned
Saturday from Huron, where they took
in the state collegiate meet. The for
mer's two sons, Tillman and Godfried,
students at the Agricultural college at
Brookings, participated In the meet,
the first in the college ball team and
the latter in the track team. The
Agricultural college won a great vic
tory in the field sports, scoring 1l6
points and winning the championship
cup. Mr.. Thompson's son, Godfried,
made a fine record in the races, win
ming three gold and two silver medals.
II was his first effort in athletics and
hence his record is especially credit.
able to him. His friends at home will
tender cordial congratulations and
good wishes for future successes Mr..
Thompson came home much elated
over Godfred's victories Dell Rapids

Pretty Goods Investment.

It's only about twenty years ago
that Mr.. Walters moved TO Brookings
county from Elgin, H., and when he
landed in that county he had nothing
left in the way of money. His farm
comprising 1000 acres, was bought
and made TO pay for itself. The fam
lily enjoyed a good living during these
years and the 1000 acres represents
clear gain Of at least $4,000, and we
doubt if it could be had for that
amount today. That's not bad for
South Dakota, and yet it is only one
instance out Of many.-DcSmet Inde-

COURT HOUSE NEEDED.
Brookings County Should Have a
Modern Building.

1t is the common talk among
Strangers who visit our county that
Brookings, which is one Of the best
Counties 10 the state and is entirely
out of debt has the poorest court
house in South Dakota. There is no
excuse for this condition Of affairs
other than a lack Of interest and a
deficiency in pride. The REGISTER
has no more interest than that which
every citizen and property owner
should possess. There is more than a
question of pride at stake. The vaults
which contain all the valuable dOcu-
ments are believed to be unsafe. A
fire, which may at any time destroy
the old building, would almost Ger.
tainly wipe out all the county records,
and these once destroyed could never
be replaced and the loss cannot be es-
timated in dollars. Let the matter
be brought to the attention OF the
people in a proper light without pre-
judice on the part Of anyone and it is
believed that the vote will be over
whelmingly in favor Of constructing a
substantial county building which will
not only be safe repository for the
county records, but will provide an
.ample sized court room and struc-
'ture that will be an ornament to the
beautiful grounds which have been
presented to the county.

NORTHWESTERN LIFE.
This Insurance Company Will Re-
turn 100000.
Money Flows Back to South Dako-
ia in Matured Policies.

A reporter for the Argus-Leader
called on General Agent John Mallan-
ney, of the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance company, Of Milwau-
kee and enquired about the amounts
Of life insurance paid on death losses
and other policies in this state during
year. In reply to the question M
Mallanney said;
II have at hand no statistics which
will show the total returned to the
state yearly by the life insurance COM
panies. | can say, however, that ac-
cording to my best estimate the
Northwestern will pay in death losses
and other policies this year TO the peo.
pie Of the state something like two
hundred thousand dollars. OF this
much more than half will be matur-
ing endowment and other investment
policies. And while the North west
bern has by far the largest amount Of
insurance in force in this state there
are many other companies and the
aggregate returns will be a very large
sum. Our long term Investment pol
iCies are beginning to mature in con-
siderable numbers now and the sums
paid policy holders will increase year
by YEAR
THE large amounts TO be paid
show how popular this form of invest
ment has become. A generation ago
the straight policy was the popular
sort, the kind of policy under which
the policy holder paid so much per
year for his life and received nothing
back except in case of death. Now
the popular policies are endowment
and other limited payment policies
which not only give the same protec-
tion to the policy holder which he en-
Joys under the straight life, but
which provide for the repayment TO
him Of his money and accumulat ations
at the end Of specified term. Under
these policies many men are making
savings of considerable sums at a
time when they are young and their
earning power is large and the
amounts saved come back to them at
later time and bring them very sat-
isfactory returns, while in the case Of
death at any time during the life of
the policy their estates receive the
full insurance and accumulations.
The shrewdest business men are TAX
Ing these policies In larger and larger
amounts and they are apparently
more and more pleased with the re-
suits"
Here Mr.. Mallanney showed the re-
porter stack Of letters from bankers,
business men and others well known
in the state, acknowledging the pay
ment to them by the company Of these
policies and Accommodations, and not
only expressing high satisfaction at
the earnings Of the money but stating
that they regard these policies as
among their very best investments.
They point out that the return is in
double ratio, the policy gives them
full protection against death and it
also pays them fair rate Of interest
and returns on the principal.
Tbeo. Akin, Of BroOkiugs, is agent
for the Northwestern Mutual Life In-
surance Co, of Milwaukee and will
gladly furnish any information asked
for by those who wish TO take out
policy.

HERBERT TO LIVE HERE.
Resigns as Conductor of Orchestra
IN Pittsburg.

Victor Herbert has resigned from the conductor
ship OF the Pittsburg Orchestra, place he has
held for six years and at the close OF the present
season, which. with the summer engagements made
for the orchestra. will last until fall Will make
his home in this city. He has already contracted
TO compose the music for the next Majestic Thea
tire extravaganza and for other musical pieces,
and he finds it impossible to do the work at
distance from the managers and authors with
whom he has to consult.
Contrary 10 a story published yesterday Mr.
Herbert resigned quite voluntarily, and the Pitts
burg papers this morning will publish statement
from the orchestra committee accepting with re-
greet Mr.. Herbert's resignation. and expressing the
warmest gratitude for his services in behalf OF
gooa music in PfttsburS. Mr.. Herbert has built
up the Pittsburg Orchestra greatly in the years
he has been AT its head. and largely by his
efforts. To obtain the men he desired for the
twenty weeks Of the season, he had TO guarantee
them twenty weeks of employment out Of
mis- own pocket. and secure this extra time by Civ
ing summer concerts at Saratoga and elsewhere.
Mr.. Herbert finds composing, however, 50 much
profitable that he says he cannot atrOrd
longer to sacrifice his time in this way. The con-
tracts for next summer, OF course, viii be car
