physical features of the stream at tho
discharge section or point of measure
ment. Seldom are all the conditions
favorable for the most accurate work
Discharge measurements of streams
flowing in natural and artificial chan
nels have been made with yarioue
kinds of instruments and in MANY
ways. The earlier ones were made
with crude instruments, and in some
cases the surface velocity onIv was
observed, the mean velocity being
computed from q formula which we
now know is not correct. Very little
seems to have been done in the way
of determining the degree of accuracy
of the measurements. Even when the
experimenter has used two or more
instruments to measure velocity, he
does not appear to have made stimuli
taneous measurements with different
instruments, or to have employed diff
ferent methods with the same instru-
ments, in order to test the accurack OF
the results.
These matters are all discussed ir
detail in Mr.. Murphys paper. which i:

BE SURE TO VOTE
Every Voter Ought to Express
Himself on Capital Question

There are those who think that some
way or another only those votes thai
may be cast in favor of capital removal
will be necessary it is required
that the eyes" must muster certain
amount of strength in order to be effec'
tive, and that it will not be necessary
for the word mo" to be recorded.
There are two candidates in this con.
test-Mr. "Yes" and Mr.. emo"
The former is Mitchell's candidate
and the latter is Pierre's candidate.
For the capital to remain at Pierre,
Mr.. "No" must secure majority OF
the votes cast upon the constitutional
amendment relating to capital removal
Therefore, every friend of Pierre,
and every voter who is opposed to the
damnable ISLANDERS which Mitchell has
emitted against two-thirds of the state,
and every voter who is opposed to
causing the state the loss of millions
of dollars in the value of lands, and
every voter who is opposed to large
increase in taxes must put an "X''
at the left of the word ''NO" on the
special ballot on which the capital
question is submitted.

Halloween Celebration
at the. Masonic Temple
The Order Eastern Star Make Special Preparations Producing
Novel Decorations and Inducing in Spook Stories.

On Monday night the Eastern Star
celebrated Halloween by holding a
special meeting of the chapter at
Masonic Temple at which time Mayor
Jenkins and his wife were initiated
into the mysteries Of the order. There
was a large attendance of the local
members besides S. III. Scallen OF
Mitchell, Mrs. p. G. Truman, Volga,
and Mrs. Alice Bond of Alexandria
The latter being Matron of the Alex
andria chapter.
At the close of the ceremonies, which
we are told were very fine, a buffet
lunch was served in the dining hall
by Mesdames Reeves, Redmond, Rod
die, Randall and Orr. The lunch was
elegant and the decorations unique
and served to remind those present
that it was Halloween indeed. The
festive pumpkin predominated. Be-
sides the Jack o'lanterns there were
other novelties in the pumpkin line
and the regulation pumpkin pie.
The table which occupied the center
of the hall attracted the most attention.
1t was covered with {. white cloth and
artistically arranged, the center piece
being huge vase followed from a
long pumpkin placed on end; around
the mouth of the vase was ornamental
work consisting of toothpicks and red
cranberries. The vase was filled with
ripened grain-wheat and oats sprays
OF wild rose buds and native grasses
and was several feet in height.
Another pumpkin had been followed
out and filled with fruit and presented
the picture OF veritable fruit basket,
handle and all. The salad dish con-
sisted of a large cabbage which, like
the pumpkins, had been followed out.
The outside of the cabbage was deco
rated with an interminable number of
of rows of red cranberries and whole
cloves, the former being secured by
means of tooth picks. The dish sat
in fringe of green parsley and the
effect was very pretty.
About the table were placed candle
sticks made from carrots in which had
been placed colored candles. These
candle-sticks also had fringed base
of green parsley and altogether the
display was unique and beautiful,
especially when the electric lights
were turned off, leaving only the sub
dued light from the burning tapers.
We did not learn, but it is presumed
that while slipping their coffee in the

Panorama of Finance and Markets

AS one would expect of great met
ropolitan newspaper having the facil-
tiles of the Chicago Record Herald,
that paper always covers the markets
and financial and commercial intelli-
gence generally on a scale of excep-
tional fullness, coverting two entire
pages of each issue. The quotations
on live stock, grain and provisions,
stocks and bonds, and in fact every
commercial and financial market in
which the people of the northwest are
interested, are thoroughly complete
and satisfactory.
Special cables tell the story Of finance
abroad. The Speculative Gossip"
"Wall Street Talks" and "LaSalle
Street Notes" are features of the Rec
ord-Herald market page that interest
spectators from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast. They tell of the under
currents in the grain and security
markets. They relate personal gossip
of the pits, in its way as important as
the hurldrum and routine part of the
davis story of speculation. The Wall
street letter of John Chambers sum-
maries the daily history OF Gotham's
money market in most entertalng
and instructive fashion. Examinethe
market page of any issue see for your
self.

SAVED THE STATE $4,000
Attorney General Hall Thanked by
Board of Regents

At recent meeting of the state board
of regents held at Madison the follow
ing resolution was passed by unani-
nous vote:
"Resolved, That the hearty thanks
OF this board, be and they are hereby
extended to the Hon. Philo Hall,
Attorney General, for the ability and
energy with which he presented the
defense of this board in the case OF n.
z. Fransen & Co., VS.. the Regents OF
Education"
This was case where n. p. Fran
sen & Co., sued the regents OF educa-
ton for $4,000 damages, claimed for
the alleged failure and neglect of the
board to procure insurance on the Nor
NAL school at Aberdeen, which was
burned.
The contract entered into between
Frapsen & Co., the contractors, and
the board provided in substance that
the board should maintain fire insur-
ance on the building covering the
interests both of the state and of the
contractors, the premium to be paid
by the latter. Five thousand dollars
insurance was obtained but the build
ing at the time it was burned before
it's completion and acceptance was worth
about $4,000. The board and Mr..
Isaac Lincoln, the local secretary at
Aberdeen, repeatedly requested the
Fransens for more insurance but they
objected, claiming that the premium
was too high and that they had the
contract on too close margin. For
this reason insurance was not obtained
and the Jury in the United States cir.
cult court held that the Fransens by
these objections waived their right to
insist that the board should procure
this further insurance. The Fransens
on several occasions also said that
they were willing to carry their own
risk. The trial in the United States
circuit court at Aberdeen resulted in
verdict in favor of the board. The
Fransens appealed from the judgment
to the United States circuit court Oi
appeals, and recently the latter court
rendered its decision affirming the
judgment of the lower court. Thus
the state is successful in its defense
and the contractors will have to bear
the loss which they sustained by rea'
son of the fire.

Combs -Ingle Wedding.

A very pretty wedding occurred At
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. f. X. Ingle,
Tuesday, Nov. l, 1908 at 10 O'Clock a.
M, when their youngest daughter,
Miss Elsie Loretta, was united in mar
riage with Geo. II. Combs.
The bride wore a beautiful gown OF
white silk and was attended by her
sister, Miss Cora, who was becomingly
gowned in blue silk null.
The groom wore the conventional
black and was attended by Francis f.
Soden.
Rev. Sanderson spoke the words
which united these young people fol
life.
The bride is one Of our most popular
and accomplished young women and
has taught for some time in our pub
lie schools.
The groom is a young man OF ster.
ling qualities and was successful in
the hardware business here for several
years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Combs departed on
the noon train, amid showers of rice,
for Whiting, Iowa, where they will
visit Mr.. Combs relatives for a week
or two after which they will visit the
Worlds Fair.
They will be at home to their many
friends in Bushnell in about a month.
We wish them a long and happy
married life. A. FRIEND.

BROOKINGS AT VERMILLION
The S. D. A. C. Football Team
Has Game Tomorrow

The Brookings football team accom-
panied by large number OF enthu-
siastic "rooters" went to Vermillion
this morning where on Friday will
occur a game between the Vermil-
lion University and Agricultural col
lege teams.
As an evidence that the game will
be a good one we refer to the result
between Mitchell and VermillIon at
the latter place Monday which game
was a tie, 6 to 6. The game here with
Mitchell stood 5 to 6 in favor of
Mitchell and would have been tie if
Brookings had kicked goal. Ofcourse
Brookings will play on strange ground,
but Mitchell did the same thing and
held the ''reds" down. 1t will be a
game worth seeing which ever wins.

Resolutions unanimously passed at
mass meeting of Commercial Club and
business men of Brookings held at
Brookings Nov. End, 1904:
Whereas, we, the members of the
Commercial Club of Brookings, South
Dakota, are proud of the progress and
material advancement made by our
state in the past and are desirous that
it shall continue to grow in population
and wealth, and hold the proud place
it has attained in the sisterhood of
states; and
Whereas, the state of South Dakota,
in the name of its schools and public
institutions, has nearly two million
acres of lands located in the Missouri
valley and the western portion of our
state, and
Whereas, the sole means of support
and improvement of our various state
institutions is by taxation excepting
only the revenue derived from the sale
and rental of said public lands, and
Whereas, the chief argument made
by those who favor the removal of the
state capital from the city of Pierre to
Mitchell is that the portion of our
state wherein these lands are located
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1904-11-03

is practically worthless, and
Whereas, we have in our city the
State Agricultural College owning
160, 900 acres OF said lands.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
earnestly protest against the selfish
arguments so advanced, and denounce
them as untrue, and believe that the
natural result to follow such cam
paign is to lessen the value of state
lands, decrease the demand for them
and thus increase the burden of taxes
laid upon every property owner in the
state.
Further that we are opposed to the
plan of putting our public institutions
on wheels, as tending to unsettle pub
lie confidence in our property values
and in the stability of our state and
its institutions.
Further, we believe that it is for the
interests of Brookings county and the
state, and of each individual taxpayer
in the state, to oppose by every honor
able means this attempt to remove the
state capital from Pierre, and pledge
ourselves to work for its defeat, and
earnestly request every loyal citizen
of Brookings county to work and vote
for the result.

Anything to Catch Votes

The following from Flandreau Herald
shows how Mitchell tries to bamboozel
the votes:
THE following table is taken from
the appropriation fund in the session
laws. The amounts are those that
have been appropriated for keeping up
the state house, and include such items
as fuel, gas, and necessary incidental
state house expenses. Pierre's fuel
and gas fake is certainly laid bare by
