large payments made to the farmers
about here for their tobacco which
amounts to several thousand dollars
more each week. The payments are
made direct from the office here by bank

"a counterfeit, but the truth of this
statement Is never more thoroughly
appreciated than when you compare
the genuine 'DeWitts Witch Hazel

Safe Life Insurance,

Rev.'J. A. Seaton, of this city, rep
resents the Central Life Insurance
Co., of>Iowa and is meeting with the
best of success in his work among the
citizens Of South Dakota. In speak
ing of fellow townsman the Des
Moines News, of Iowa says:
Mr.. Frank III. Paul, the well known
and popular chief clerk of the Iowa
insurance department., becomes an
agent of the Central Life of Iowa.
The position which Mr.. Paul has
occupied has brought him into close
relation with not only every Iowa
company, but every company doing
business In Iowa. His position made
him the head of the insurance depart.
ment and all ins urance matters passed
through his hands. All companies
recognized him as broad minded
capable and just official. His services
in the department have equipped him
with the most extensive and thorough
knowledge Of life insurance of any
man In the state. Many Of the old
companies have desired his services
and made very tempting offers, bnt
Mr.. Paul desires to make insurance
his life work and says that an agent
should select his company with as
much care as the policy holder, and
that the company that makes the best
record for policy holders is also the
best company for agents. He there.
fore selects the Central Life.
This high compliment of the Cen:
trail Life from the insurance depart
ment will be appreciated by its many
policy holders.
The News congratulates both Mr..
Paul and the company.

CONVERTED TO FAITH HEALING
Two Prominent Congregationalists
Withdraw.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. E. Hopkins who
have been prominent members of the
Congregational church for a number
of years have severed their connection
with that communion and will hence
forth eSpouse the faith of Mrs. Eddy.
In conversation with reporter, Mr..
Hopkins stated that this step was the
outcome of a growing conviction on
the part of himself and wife that
Christian Science was the true faith.
This conviction has been brough t
about both by investigation and eXper-
ience. MIR. and Mrs. Hopkins have
been investigating the claims Of
Christian Science for some time and
their faith has been confirmed by the
remarkable cure wrought upon the
latter By Christian Science treatment.
A few months ago Mrs. Hopkins, was
semi.invalid, suffering from asthma,
indigestion and number Of other
ailments, but after course Of faith
healing she is a we'll woman.
Rev. w. j. Oldfield, pastor of the
Congregational church, in an inter
view confirmed the report that the
Hopkins had withdrawn but denied
that their withdrawal was occasioned
by any remarks of his unfavorable to
Christian Science.
Mr.. Hopkins is also prominent
Mason and the question arises whether
he can reconcile his new faith with

Auditorium Needed,

Brookings must have an auditorium
The matter has been brought to the
attention of our people enough times
without going into the why's and
wherefors. Unless something is done
at once in this direction the city is
bound to be handicapped in many
ways. Next year the grand lodge OF
the A. O. U. w. will be held here and
there must be place provided for the
sessions of that body. There is no
suitable place at present for holding
any local demonstration, let alone
those which might be attracted to the
city If it were not known that they can
not be properly entertained. The
REGISTER sincerely hopes that this
item may awake an interest in the
mind of those who have the means
and can, if they will, proceed at once
to construct a suitable place for hold.
ing conventions and the like. We be-
lieve that properly managed such q
building can be made to pay a good
profit on the investment.

Lost,

About one o'clock Monday morning
telephone message was received
from Elkton stating that the Mer-
chants hotel was on fire endangering
the destruction Of other property and
calling for BrOokings to send down the
chemical engine. Chief Campbell
routed out several tiremen and took
the engine TO the depot only to find
that there was not fiat car on which
the ire fighter could be loaded. While
an attempt was being made to get the
engine into box car word came that
the hotel had been consumed and tho
fire was under control. The hotel
with all its contents, including the
clothing of the boarders, was destroy
ed. How the fire started is a mystery.
The loss in all is estimated at about
$4,000 with insurance for 81, 700.
Tod Waterhouse, of this city, had
rented the hotel and had his goods
packed and ready to be shipped to
Elkton Monday. He considers him

SUDDEN DEATH.
Honorable Samuel Stone Passes to
His Reward.

The city was shocked yesterday
morning to learn that Hon. Samuel
Stone prominent resident Of this
city had died at $50 at his dwelling,
of angina pectorls, an ailment with
which he has been afflicted for some
time, having had three attacks; the
second occurring two months ago ac-
companied by hemorrhage from the
lungs, and the last attack which caused
his death being accompanied by hem
orrhage from the stomach. His ply
sician had predicted Mr.. Stones sud-
den death at some time after the
occurrence of the second a attack +,
though the public was not aware Of
the fact. On Tuesday the deceased
went down to Aurora to attend to
some business matters and returned
home in his usual health, but at two
o'clock he complained to his wife that
he was not feeling we'll and could
scarcely get bis breath. DR.. Hyde was
called and did all he could but Mr..
Stone gradually sank until deaf
relieved him.
The deceased was a pioneer of
Brookings county, having been in bus
siness at Aurora for many years and
served the county in an able manner
from that district. About two years
ago he moved to Brookings and here
he has since resided. He was gen.
tleman of good qualities and held the
respect Of the communities in which
he has resided.
The deceased leaves a sorrowing
family composed of wife and five
grown up children, to mourn his death.
One daughter, Mrs. Elmer Arnold,
lives at Clear Lake, Mrs. Chan Davis,
another daughter, lives at Elkton, two
daughters reside at home and the only
son, Arthur, lives at Aurora. Mr..
Stone had reached the age of II years.

WHERE ARE THE BOYS2
Why Is 1t That More Girls Than
Bows Graduate.

Senator Dolliver in his address Tues.
day evening called attention to an
alarming fact that Ia all his particips-
tions in graduating exercises he found
that the per cent of boy graduates as
compared with the girls who completed
their studies in the public schools was
about one boy to ten girls and as If TO
Immediately substantiate his state
ment, at the close of his speech when
Supt. Olander called the graduates of
the rural public schools forward to
receive their certificates there were
about fifty-tive in the class and only
seven boys. The question is asked +,
where are the boys and what will be
the natural outcome if this manner Of
thing continues? Can it be that the
young women Of this nation are grad
ually making inroads into the social,
industrial and political affairs of the
nation and that soon we must look to
women to fill positions requiring edu-
cation and sound business judgment?
God bless the girls everywhere and
may they ever succeed, but shame on
the boys who either lack courage or
too lazy too keep pace with the tide Of
events and hold their place in the edu-
cational institutions provided for the
common good Of both the boy and
the girl.

Sensible Talk to Local Merchants.

The mail order houses are working
the rural mail routes for all they are
worth and country merchants are Wig
orously protesting at the enormous
trade the catalogue houses are holding
up by this means. The rural mail
delivery is here to stay. Hustling
merchants will continue to make the
best possible use Of this means of
increasing their trade. Grumbling
will do no good. Protests will fall on
deaf ears. The only way is to meet
the competition and advertise leaders
that will catch the business. As soon
as the people are disabused of the idea
that they can get more for their money
by buying of the catalogue houses, just
that soon they will cease spending
their money away from home. The
newspapers must not be expected to
fight the battles of the home mer-
chants without help from the mer-
ch ants. The newspapers are willing
to do their full share and more toward
the protection of local interests, but
they ought not to be expected to work
for nothing and board themselves.
There appears to be no other way for
the local merchants to protect their
own interests than by persistent and
intelligent advertising. The catalogue
house spend immense sums of money
to tell the people of the bargains they
are Offering. Catalogues costing a
considerable sum are scattered broad
cast among the people but local mer-
chants think they are robbed If the
local newspaper charges them a half
cent month for carrying their an
nouncement to each one of it's readers.
The mail order houses understand the
necessity of advertising. They pro:
vide for it just the same as they pro-
vide for insurance, store rent and
taxes. If the local merchants instead,
of wasting the time in throwing stones
at the mail order houses or vainly pro-
testing against their methods of adver.
tising, would "steal their thunder" in
the way Of advertising, the mail order
houses could be "beaten at their own
game" and there is no other way to
get the business. II you you would
have your business grow, advertise 1t.
