Grand Sacred Oratorln

In the First Presbyterian church on
Christmas eve, Dec. 9th, under the di-
rection of Prof. Mann, a sacred oratorin
will be rendered, at the close of which
the great "Hallelujah Chorus" from
Handel's Messiah will be sung. This
bids fair to be even superior to the
other high grade musicals which have
been given from time to time. The
pastor will preach a short sermon, the
congregation will unite in hymn, the
orchestra will play. Everyone invited
to come and unite in celebrating the
holy advent.

OF foreign families living in the
crowded tenement district CT that city.
Referring to this period Of his work
the Doctor says: The work proved
to me the vastness of these new fields
of labor-food studies and domestic
science. 1t also showed me how
greatly the condition of the masses
might be ameliorated by guidance and
training along these lines. saw the
folly of divorcing the practical from
the theoretical in educating the chill
dren OF these families. Such extremes
of wretchedness, filth and disease, the
results entirely OF ignorance and mis-
management, had never before re-
allied. Families of workmen, earn.
ing good wages, able to rent rooms en-.
suring light and ventilation and also
to purchase plain nourishing food,
lived in rooms so filthy and in air SC
foul that | not infrequently became
nauseated as the result of a visit.
We might add that DR.. Slagle's
work proved so satisfactory to the
state of New York, and to the world
, famed expert under whom much of il
was conducted, that shortly after he
became president of the School oi
Mines, DR.. Atwater made him a very
flattering offer to return to New York
first for the purpose of conducting
food and kindred studies in the state
institutions and afterward to act as
his head man in his office and fast in
creasing general work.
We feel that it is fortunate indeed
for South Dakota that DR.. Slagle die
not go, aud we confidently look for 8
splendid growth and Development O
our agricultural school under his ablt
management"

COLLEGE HAS
NEW PRESIDENT
DR.. R. L. Sagle Will Soon be Here
to Take Charge

Although DR.. RI. Slagle is not an
entire stranger to many citizens of
Brookings there are a large number
who do not know him and the REGIS
TER introduces him to our city by
publishing the following extract from
the Dakota Farmer OF recent date along
with very good portrait of the new
president, kindly loaned US by the
Farmer: "Dr. Slagle comes to Brook
ings at time when tact and executive
ability of high order are needed, and
theseyqualities, to a remarkable de-
gree, he has shown in building up the
| School of Mines. That he is par
ticularly fitted and in touch with the
work before him, those who know him
best are more than confident. In a
letter to the writer some weeks ago,
the Doctor says: There is no class of
institutions that appeal to me SO
strongly as the agricultural colleges.
My whole heart will be in my work,
and nothing that | can do will be left
undone to make my labors success.
The new president, who will take his
place at Brookings the first of the year
was born in Hanover, Pa, in 1865.
His ancestry is German, the family
having come to this country during
the religious wars in Germany and
settled in Germantown, Philadelphia,
a few years after the foundation of the
colony.
He attended the public and private
schools of his native town, entered
Lafayette College in 1888, receiving A.
B. degree and election to the Phi Beta
Kappa four years later. September
1887, he first came to Dakota, as pro-
fessor of natural sciences in the Col
legiate Institute at Groton. Returning
east the following year, he entered up
ON graduate course in science in the
John Hopkins University and re-
ceived the degree OF Ph. d.
Later, he carried on experiments in
| laboratories at Harvard and Washing
ton. and as assistant under Prof. w.
o. Atwater, at Middletown, Conn,
and New York City. In 1895, he was
elected Professor Of Chemistry in the
S. d. Agricultural College, two years
later being transferred to the School
of Mines, becoming president OF this
institution in 1898.
In relation to DR.. Slagle's work in
New York City, we may say that Prof.
! Atwater has been truly termed the
Father of the United States Expert
ment Station; and it was while work
ing in his laboratory that DR.. Slagle
conducted Investigations in food stud
les and experiments with the bomb
4 icalorimeter. He ewas also engaged in
making analyses of food samples col
! Iected in Atwater dietary studies.
In the winter OF 1S94-95 DR.. Slagle
was sent to New York City to conduct
. series OF dietary studies in the homes

Caught!

Miss Elma Smith, the child imper-
senator, gave an unexpected entertain
ment at the International Lyceum As
sociation Convention which was held
at Elkhart last September. Unex-
pected to herself and to the audience,
but none the less acceptable. 1t was
Sam Jones Day and nearly four thous-
people had been waiting for over an
hour for the speaker of the day. Mr..
Pearson, the platform manager, finally
took pity on the patient walters, and
proved the old adage about their not
losing anything, to their complete sat-
isfaction. He looked about for some
near-at-hand talent, and saw Miss El-
ma Smith near the tent saying good
bye to some friends, and quite uncon-
scious of the approaching danger.
But there was no escape. Mr.. Peterson
took her by the hand, and led her, in
spite Of her protestations to the stage.
Once there, there was nothing for it
but to perform, as the audience, seeing
who Mr.. Pearson was bringing before
them, was expressing in no very un-.
| certain terms the fact that they were
glad to see her, and wanted all she
could give them. "a Boys Essay on
Babies" was her contribution to the
pleasure of the afternoon, followed by
some information on "How two days
old baby would talk if it could talk" F."
1t is said that some of her audience
were sorry when Sam Jones was at last
announced.
1t might be remarked here that Miss
Smith was nicknamed Princess Elma
at the convention as good-natured
tribute to her art and her personality

Fierce Fighting Results in Bending

st. Petersburg, March $3.50 a.
m.-The fate of General Kuropatkin
and his army hangs in the balance
today, depending on the result of the
fighting almost in the outskirts of
Mukden. AT last reports this morn
ing the fighting went well for the
Russians, who beat back the wave
that threatened to roll over Mukden
as it had rolled over the Notifications
at Port Arthur but nothing is known
as to what is gCing on beyond the
line of breakers. The imminence Of
the peril on the west wing has with
drawn attention from the operations
on the center and left, where the
lighting has been extremely heavy, and
on the left especially, where the Jap
anese gains are sufficiently great to
cause apprehension to themselves
Military critics here point out that
the Japanese have put themselves in
a critical position by the extreme ex-
tension of their lines, laying them
selves open, as they did at Lao Yang,
to the possibility of a most effective
commensurate and probable defeat if
General Kuropatkin should be able

link in the chain.
In other respects the situation also
resembles that at Lao Yang, the jap
anese making a costly "demonstra-
ton to hold the Russians back and
waiting for an opportunity to admins
lister a telling blow
The Russian losses on both of the
fianks are conceded to be enormous,
but it is claimed that defenders of
the center suffered comparatively lit
tie by the Japanese bombardment and
beating off the Japanese attack.
The attacks delivered by Gen. No
gi's soldiers were marvellous in view
of the forced marches which they
made for six days, recalling the
records of Stonewall Jacksons foot
cavalry" They entered the battle with
the greatest dash and fought day
after day with vigor; but those of
them who were taken prisoners
dropped to the ground utterly ex-
hausted and hardly able to speak.
They had not eaten for two days,
which accounts in part for their utter
fatigue.

The Tribunal AffirmS the Decision OF
the Circuit Court That the Securi-

Stock.
(By the Associated Press.) }

Washington, March 6.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day affirmed the decision of the Cir
cult Court of Appeals for the Third
circuit in the case of Hartman VS..
The Northern Securities Company in
volving the distribution of the shares
of the Northern Securities Company.
The decision is favorable to the COM
pany.
The decision of the court was an
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller He
delivered no written opinion, but said
that one would be filed later. There
was no dissenting opinion.
The Court of Appeals held in effect
that the Securities Company had be-
come the absolute legal and equitable
owner of the stock of the railroad
company. The suit was brought by o..
H. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce and
other owners of the Northern Pacific
stock held by the Securities Company
to obtain possession of the shares of
stock originally deposited by them and
to restrain the company from pursu-
ing it's plan of distribution, which was
to give to each stockholder a proper
tionate amount of the stock of the two
railway companies. The Circuit Court
issued q restraining order which was
overruled by the Court of Appeals
The par value of the stock involved is
$S2,491,871 The case was argued
only a week ago and the decision came
with a promptness that was quite un-
expected.
