A person with no knowledge of
chemistry should not attempt to judge
water purity. Water from the juniper
swamps of Virginia proved healthy,
while numerous examples of clear,
cool, sparkling water contained most
DANGEROUS poisons. 1t may be as
suraed, however, that any water is
unwholesome that contains decaying
matter, either vegetable or animal.

Contamination may occur after the

For Her Sake

The story OF the Russian melodrama,
"For Her Sake" which comes Oct.
25th at the Grand, leads the spectator
through the lights and shadows of
life's journey whose ultimate destina-
ton is peace and happiness, but whose
Intermediary stages offer some thrill
ing scenes of trial and tribulation.
There is one scene showing the road to
Siberia, which is said to be of in
tense human interest and thrilling
effect. There is a ballroom scene
which is described as being a sump-
tuous and accurate reproduction of
life among the Russian nobility. The
piece throughout is handsomely staged
and the company an adequate one.

FIRST GAME
FOOT BALL
Riggs Institute Defeated by the
Agricultural College

On Saturday the foot ball team rep
resenting the Riggs Institute at Flan-
dreau met the S. d. A. G.. football
team at the base ball park in this city.
Both teams played a rather loose
game as this was the first of the
season and neither side had been
long in practice. The S. D. A. C.
team took the offensive from the start
and were altogether too heavy for their
opponents. The Indians however
were very quick and few as good as
you would find in any ordinary team.
Flandreau kicked off and Brookings
securing the ball steadily worked to-
ward the Indians goal making a
touchdown in short order, but failed
to kick goal. There was some lively
playing during the half but at all
times the ball was in Flandreau's ter
ritory and when the first half was call
ed Brookings had % points to Flan-
dreau 0.
The second half was almost a repe-
tition OF the first in plays, and the
score was exactly the same, Brookings
% and Flandreau 0, making the total
46 to 0 in favor of the S. D. A. c.
Several times Brookings was penal
ized for using their hands in defense
and this kept the score down. No
one was hurt during the game and
there was no need of substitutes on
either side. So far as we were able to
see it was a clean game and worth
seeing.

SILVER ANNIVERSARY
Sioux Falls Argus-Leader Twenty
five Years Old

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader is
celebrating its twenty-fifth anniver-
sary in a rather unique way and in
way that the REGISTER thinks will be
appreciated by its thousands OF readers
in South Dakota. The paper is %
wears old this month and to celebrate
the event the management Of the
Argus-Leader is offering the paper to
all new and old patrons that renew or
subscribe during the month OF October
for $500 for one year. Ii patron is
in arrears he can pay what he owes at
SOC on the dollar provided he adds
So 90 to the amount for the new year.
No one will be allowed to pay more
than one year in advance and the offer
only lasts during the month Of October.
To illustrate the plan. Suppose you
owe 81 90 to any date in October you
can by sending $3.50 cancel your in
debtedness and pay your subscription
to October, 1906. This is truly cele-
bration in which all can participate,
and the Argus-Leader should hear
from every subscriber on the list dur
ing October and secure goodly num-

FARMERS
'"''1hS INSTITUTES
The Board Plans For The Coming
Winter Season

The members of the farmers insti-
tute board met at Aberdeen last week
and planned for the winters cam
paign. The board considered petitions
for institutes and determined the
places at which the institutes shall be
held. The Aberdeen News says that
the board decided to hold an institute
in every county in the state except
two or three in the sparsely settled
region west of the Missouri river.
Last July an institute was held in
every county in the Black Hills, so
that that territory will not be covered
this winter.
This winters circuit of institutes will
commence the second week in Novem.
Der at Ipswich. Each institute will be
in session one day and one evening.
The circuit will then take in Roscoe,
Eureka, Washington Springs, Salem,
Flandreau, Canton and west to the
Missouri river. This schedule in
in which other towns than those men
toned will be included, is expected to
last until Christmas time. A vaca-
ton will then be taken until the mid
die of January when the circuit will
be resumed for the northern part OF
the state at Aberdeen. The exact
schedule has not been determined,
but will be announced later by Mr..
Greeley, the superintendent of the in
stitutes.
The list OF lectures will be an able
one. Superintendent Greeley, who is
universally known as. an authority on
farming matters throughout the state,
will be present at every institute and
deliver talks on the more general
phases of farming. Mrs. Bertha Dahl
Laws of Appleton, Minnesota, has
been secured to take part OF the wom-
ans side OF the institutes; Professor
Wheaton of the Agricultural college
at Brookings, will have charge OF the
dairy department, while either Profess
sor Cole or Director Wilson of the ex-
pertinent station at the Agricultural
College will be present. Besides these
there will be several well-known
speakers from outside the state.

HIGH SCHOOL
ATHLETIC ASSN
Steps Being Taken to Perfect a
Permanent Organization

Superintendent Walters informs the
REGISTER that he has issued invitations
to the high schools of Huron, Water
town, Lake Benton, Clark and Red
field, to send delegations to this city
Saturday, Oct. %, for the purpose Of
perfecting an athletic association also
at the same time to organize an ora
torical or declamatory association.
Throughout the east these organiza-
tions have become fixture and seem
to be of value to the schools. 1t will
be the purpose OF the athletic associa-
ton to hold annual field meets and
will also include foot ball, basket ball
and base ball contests.
The REGISTER believes the declama-
tory contests will serve good purpose
as we'll, as in the college oratorical
contests it has brought out many good
points in those taking part.
Athletics seem to have taken a firm
hold in both high schools and colleges
throughout the land and all opposition
cannot head it off. Young men and
young women have about so much
energy and they seem bound to expend
it in athletics of some sort.
Brookings may we'll encourage the
association and if possible have the
field meets here where there is every
convenience both for the field meets
and the declamatory contests.

High School Notes

The 10 BIS will complete algebra,
and take up plane geometry this week.
The foot ball team will play with the
Madison boys at that place Saturday.
The reporter was so busy with school
work last week that she forgot to get
the news.
The enrolment Of this High school
is larger than it has ever been before.
With the new pupils there are 101.
The program rendered by the Alpha
literary society last Friday was very
good considering the time they had to
prepare for it.
Mr.. Stacy Cochrane was visitor OF
the High school Tuesday and gave us
an instructive speech which the ma
jority of the school enjoyed and hope
that he will visit US again.
We are informed that Brookings
boys do not giggle. Try and keep up
your reputation, only girls giggle
especially Brookings High school
girls.
In the near future the study OF his
tory will be the leading topic, we are
informed. Those not knowing any
thing about it will not be in it. Oh
won't Miss Roper be proud Of her his
tory class.
