A VIEW ON REVEALS.
Bookings Editor Don't Take Much
Stock in Importing Revivalist
at Big Expense.

Brookings Press: During the fifteen
years that we have been running the
Press we have iabbed around rather
pr~omlscuously edilorially, and prob
ably on many occasions have rushed
in where angels would fear TO tread.
But duling all these years we have
fought shy Of all religious discussions
and controversies, and do not intend
to break our rule by getting mixed
up in one now. However. the an
nouncement that in a few days an
itlnerant evangelist will visit the
city under the auspices Of all the
clutches has caused us TO ponder over
the religious conditions of the city,
and from our view point this move
is i'll advised. Not SO much.. because
we are not a believer in revjvals-so
called-but from a financial stand
point. The people Of Brookings
have spent over $50. 900 for church
edifices during the past few years,
and ave at present supporting seven
ministers. We took occasion to re-
mark, last week, how fortunate we
were in having such a fine lot of
ministers, and we really believe that
they are fully capable of taking care
of the spiritual welfare of our people.
leaving the matter of the burden for
helpers entirely out of the question.
We understand that the gentleman
who has arranged to come here is a
successful evangelist, that he secured
contributions aggregating over 5000
i'm one meeting at Huron at the con-
clusion of a two weeks campaign. 1t
is not uncommon for one Of these
evangelists who understands his bust
ness to secure from six to twelve
hundred dollars at the grand wind-up
OF their two weeks meetings, from a
community which has had a HARD
time to pay its regular ministers
twenty-five dollars a week, and it is

4 new VOICE TEACHER
Miss Anna Beebe Added to the Fac
ulty for Work in the Conser-
vatory of Music.

President Thomas Nicholson made
a trip TO Chicago the latter part of
the week on some important bust
ness. and among other things inves-
tigated matters relative to securing
a new teacher in the School Of Mus
ic of the University. The registra-
ton in this department, this fall,
has been much larger than ever be-
fore. necessitating an extra teaching
force. Two or three weeks ago Dr..
Nicholson announced to the students
that another teacher would be secur-
ed in thu near future. Last week he
travelled over fourteen hundred miles
through five states, and investigated
some twelve candidates for the posi-
tion. The CHOICE fell on Miss Anna
L. Beebe, o~f.Eyanston, Illinois. Miss

TO THE PAcIFlc OCEAN.
looks Like tbs Milwaukee is Paving
the Way for Road to the Pa
cific Coast.

A move on the part OF the Chicago,
Milwaukee and ST. Paul Railway has
just been announced which is be-
lieved to be connected with the i'm
provement Of the road in South Oak
ota and the much talked Of extension
to the Pacific coast.
1t is the double tracking OF the
system from Chicago to Missouri
River points, together with which
will come the elimination OF curves
all along the line and the changing
OF grades. This improvement will
necessitate the expenditure of sew
era] millions of dollars and will re-
quire a couple Of years for completion.
III is reported that the contract
for this Improvement has already
been let to a Chicago man. The first
work will consist Of the placing Of
the Chicago terminals upon an eleVa-
ted structure. The bridge which
now carries the tracks OF the Milwau-
kee across the Mississippi at Savanna
will be removed in sections to replace
the temporary trestle work which has
been put in at Chamberlain to sup
port the Black Hills extension of tie
road now in progress. a fine new
bridge Will be built across the Miss
issippi.
The determination of the Mil wau-
kee to improve its line between Chi
cago and the Missouri River points
together with the work that is al
ready begun on the Sioux City-Man-
lila branch is taken to indicate good
things for Sioux City and the future
OF tue extension now under way in
South Dakota. 1t seems-according
to the expressed belief Of the Sioux
City..Journal-to be a positive assur-
ance that the Sioux City Chicago
line will lie the important line for
the westward extension inasmuch as
no improvements have been an
%nounced for the Iowa Dakota division
through the northern part OF Iowa.
The work OF strengthening the track
on the Sioux City Manila division Of
the road has been going on quietly
all summer.
The Milwaukee will, no doubt,
soon find it necessary to possess shops
and terminal facilities in Sioux City
much after the order of those now
being provided by the Great North
ern Railroad for its connection with
the Burlington system there.
The Milwaukee will be the third
great railroad to double track its line
between the Missouri River and Chi
cago. The Burlington.completed its
double tracking last year and the
Northwestern some years ago. The
Rock Island has had this matter un-
der consideration for a long time.
The Milwaukee has a double track
between Chicago and the Twin
Cities, this being one Of the finest
roadbeds in the entire country.

A ROAST FROM PARksToK.
Brer. Peckham Endeavors to Create
a Wrong Impression About
Securing Printers.

A copy of the Parkston Advance
was handed US Thursday evening c0a-
tanning two marked articles. One
article, "The Printers Strike at
Mitchell'' which occupied n column
on the editorial page and In the
main points was correct but it is very
plainly seen that it is Written from
information gained solely from head
quarters of the striking printers, Tor
we understand that when the editor
Of the Advance was in town last week
he did not ven grant the common
courtesy Of calling on the. newspapers
Of the city.
Mr.. Peckham was employed in tho
Job rooms about two years ago and
was one Of the chief promoters IN
organizing the Typographical union
at that time and no doubt it is with
some degree Of sadness for him to SEQ
the union go to pieces.
The article which is meant to hit
the Mitchell Printing Company we
here reproduce:
tt# Nw&AI.
The Mitchell Printing Co. phoned {
down here Tuesday night and endea-,
vored to get our help away from NJ
by offering a fancy price. which goes
to show that they have little regard
business with them. This shows
better than words can illustrate, the
desperate condition they are In, and
while we were disposed to Sympathize
with them to a certain extent at the.
beginning, this low trick of theiH1
would be sufficient to cause them to-
lose the respect of all fair minded
men. While they have a great deal
to say about the union e~ndeavOfing
to keep men from working for them,
| yet It is a horse of a differenG cOloE-
when they deliberately attempt to-
entice away the help of the publish
els Of the country Offices.
Copies OF the Parkston Advances
containing this article we're distrI-s
huted around town among the bust
ness men last evening with no other
purpose that we can see, but to try
TO lead people into believing that. the
Mitchell Printing Co. is in a ssdes-
perate condition.
Now the facts ..of tile matter are
just as follows:
On last Tuesday evening a friend
of the party in the Advance Office at
Parkston asked a representative OF
the Mitchell Printing Co. il they
wished to hire printers and the re-
ply was that we did and Furthermore
the fact that the party at ParkstOn
wanted to come to Mitchell to work
came to us without solicitation on
Jour part. The first thing said toSthe
party at Parkston owe the phone on
Tuesday evening was that we hear
you would like 10 get job up here,,,
and he replied tal1t 'she was afraid
that it might be a little dangerous TO
come at this time when the strike
was on. and he wanted to think tt
over until next day. when he decid-
ed not to take the chances.
mo definite offer was made as to
wages but he was told that we Mould
pay from S12 to $l5 per week for q
good printer. Now these are tile ex-
act conditions and we leave it to our
readers to decide if this '.low trick,
as referred to is sufficient to lose
the respect OF all faIrminded men.

NOT SATISFIED.
CattIemen of West South Dakota
Regard Report on Beef
Trust A Whitewash.

Rapid City dispatch, 13: The cattle
men of the western South Dakota and
eastern Wyoming districts, according
to Frank NJ. Stewart, secretary of the
Western South Dakota Cattlemen S as
soci alton, are not satisfied with the re-
cent reIort OF Commissioner Garfield
on the beef trust question. Mr.. Stew
art states emphatieally that the facts as
stated bv Commissioner Garfield are
not as they really exist. He admits
that it is a difficult matter to secure
facts but stated that if the dealers III
the large cities could be properly pro
tected sufficient evidence could be OBJ
tanned TO show a different story. He
states that every large dealer in dressed
beef is under an expressed understand
ing with the beef trust that the trust
meat must be sold at certain fixed
price. Should dealer testify this fact
in an open court he would be blacklist
ed bv the beef trust and mis- meat sup
ply taken form him. Mr.. Stewart
states that the trust does not honestly
distinguish between the cattle on foot
and dressed meat If cattle on foot cost
five cents per pound the trust figures
only on four quarters of the dressed
beef. when according TO Mr.. Stewart
they should figure in the offal of an an
imal, which brings in as much as
quarter of beef Mr.. Stewart further
states that not enough evidence was Sc
cured in the west on the cattle ranges
themselves. He urged the commission
er over a year ago to send representa-
tive to the Black Hills range, which
Commissioner Garfield did. This re-
preventative obtained vital information
and Mr.. Stewart believes that the find
ings of the commissioner could not have
included these Black Hills range re-
ports. Mr.. Stewart, as well as the
other prominent cattlemen of the west
ern range, are satisfied that the report
is not complete and they urge the COM
missioner to continue his examination.

Old Burlington Engineer Dead.

John A. Peterson, the oldest engi-
neer in the employ Of the Burlington
in point of service, died at his home in
Galesb urg, ILL.,, yesterday morning, of
heart trouble. Since last September
he had not been in good health and
had only made five or six trips since
that time. He was born in Ost-egot-
land, Sweden, Feb. 2, 1889. He came
to America at an early age wit his
parents, and settled in Galesbul :. In
1866 he was married to Miss Nellie
Nelson. who survives him. There are
five children living. AS railroad
man Mr. Peterson's record is re.
markable one in every respect. He
was first employed as stationary en-.
gineer in 1860 In 1851 he began fir
ing and in Septeml :, 1864, he took up
the duties of an engineer which work
he has constantly and faithfully per.
formed since that lime. He was one
of the employees who remained on
duty, all through the big strike of
1888, and was the first man to take a
train out Of the yards at the close.
During the entire time of his service
he vas never suspended, nor was he
ever in a wreck or cl accident. Among
railroad men he was universally re.
spected and admired.-Burlingto

MAY NOT BUILD POWER DAM.
Owners Of Property Above Iowa City
Ask Hiqh Prices,


Iowa City, April 1.-THE power dam
provided for by the state legislature
for Iowa university may not be built If
the property holders along the river
who will have their interests leopard
lied by the building Of dam, are not
willing to accept reasonable compen
sation. AS no provision was made for
the purchase Of this land the business
men Of the city have decided to buy
1t themselves and give it to the uni
versity, but If the price is held up on
them, as now seems likely, the dam
may never be built. 1t has been pro-
posed to create fine park along the
river bank extending from where the
campus meets the river to the site Of
an old dam mile north of the city.
The proposed improvement would be
one Of the finest that has been made
here in many years.
