One of the finest musical treats the town has had in recent years will be a concert to be given by the combined glee and mandolin clubs of Trinity college, Hartford, at the Town hall this Friday evening, December Is. The affair is to be under ithe auspices of the Mems club, and the proceeds, aside from expenses, are to be devoted to aid the work at the High school in some way. The committee of arrange ments consists of Rev J. H. George, chairman, Patrick H. Mccarthy, Principal Ross Jewell and Allison P. Smith. The concerts by the Wes- leyan college glee club few years ago crowded the hall to the doors, and a similar result is expected, this year. The Trinity glee club is said to be one of the finest in New England, this year, and they are now putting in hard training. The aim of the club, while desiring to help the High school, is to provide some high grade entertain ments for the season, and THE BEE has confidence the public will cordial ly patrOniZe the entertainment. The tickets are now on sale at the stores of Taylor, Curtis & Go. and R. II. Beers & Co.

 Elections. look at our last Presiden-
 tial election for things have settled down and the political enthusiasm has
 passed away. One thing which strikes the observer is what a complete sweep
 President Roosevelt made in every state in the east, north, middle west, west and northwest. Only the solid South is left for the democratic party, as, the republicans carried everything north of the Ohio river and west of the Mississippi except Arkansas, Lou iSiana and Texas. It has been claimed that even the Southern states would some of them gone republican could all the voters have been allowed to go to the polls. Some bright man has an elephant, which represents the re- publican party, as kneeling on pros trate donkey, which represents the demOcratice party. It would not be strange if five years hence the South should demand that leader be taken from her section to be the color bearer of the democratic hosts. It may be fairly said that the republican victory is in no small measure tribute to the man, Theodore Roosevelt. It shows a wonderful popularity when President receives plurality of nearly or quite two million votes.
 
 Columbia On the 31st of October
 University. Columbia University celebrated its 15Oth birthday. The exercises consisted in part in laying the corner stone of four new buildings and in the dedication of a fifth, and in an address by President Butler and conferring the degrees u pon B gradu- ates. Situated on Morningside Heights in New York, Columbia University is said to occupy place that is the cen ter of the most wealth and population of any place in the wide world. The university has had quite history, having. changed it's name four times and having passed from small Knick- erbocker college to large metropoli. tan university. The New York h. dependent calls Columbia University the leading university of the New World with the prospect that it will become leading university of the whole world.

 Two bulletins have just been issued by the StOrrs Experiment Station which, while of special value to farm CTS and dairymen are also of general interest. Bulletin No. Sl, "The Food Value of Pound of Milk Solids, ' should be read by every producer and consumer of milk. The animals used for experiment were lambs, calves, and pigs; and a comparison was made of the food value of rich milk, poor milk, and skim milk. The animals fed skim milk and poor milk in every case did better than those receiving rich milk. The photo graphs of the animals tell the story better than words.

would like to ask Mr.. Representa-
tive of the Standard Oil Company
who pretends to pose as the friend of

First-Why is it that there is not
one complaint now under the present
law where there were at least twenty
under the old law?
Second why most all the solici-
tors for the Standard Oil Company
are much pleased with the present
law, because by their acknowledge
ment it Is much easier to sell oil and
gasoline under the present require
ments than before under the old
law.
Third-Why are the independent
companies almost unanimous in CIV
ing South Dakota praise in securing
SO good an oil inspection law. To
quote one of these independent COM
panfes in particular, that said e4Mr.
Oil Inspector allow us to congratu-
late you upon your successful efforts

but help your state in getting much

! Just law, and we are ready at al

Seventh Friend OF the Peo-
pie, if you have had the interests OF
the dear consumers at heart why
have you repeatedly advised your
customers to put same kind Of oil in
different tanks and charge two
prices for it, simply to deceive2
which you have practiced for long
time, and you are trying to deceive
now by means of articles purporting
to be the authorship of the Standard
Oil Company's representative. Mr..
Sheppard state chemist OF Brookings

combined with certain fash and

Now in conclusion [ would like
