CHIEF KIELY'S TRIAL.

PLAINFIELD, Dec. 23:-The de-
Tense in the trial of Chief of Police
Kelly before the common council
opened Thursday night. An hour
after the council came to order, at
8:15 o'clock, Corporation Counsel
Marsh rested the prosecution, and
Senator Reed opened fire on the
structure Of evidence that the oppos-
ing counsel had reared.
County Prosecutor \. G. j. Eng
fish told of a conversation Mr.. Tyler,
one of Chief Kiely's %accusers, had
with him in reference to the Golf
place, in the course of which he told
him bluntly that his o against
the hotel was simply for political
purposes.
Mr.. Marsh, after Mr.. Reed had at
tempted to prove that a Central rail-
road officer had been offered a bride
to testify against the chief, declared
he could prove that witnesses for the
prosecution had been tempered with.
Additional spice was lent to the ses-
sion by a charge, by Mr.. Reed, that
the claim department of the Central
railroad was working against Chief
Kiely to get square for his efforts in
fixing the responsibility for the West
field wreck.
The hearing was continued at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon.

EXPECT CONFERENCE.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Dec. 23:-
Rumors that President William Con-
nell, of the Cancellation board, and
various other people were to act as
Intermediates between the anthra-
cite mine workers and the operators
were set at rest yesterday by emphat-
ic denials from prominent mine
workers that any outsider was to act
for the miners.
The plan of submitting the request
for a conference to the operators is
simple: President Mitchell is to pre-
pare a letter asking the operators to
receive the committee appointed at
the Shamokin convention. This let
ter will be short and to the point and
will in a few days be forwarded to
the head of, each coal company.
The mine workers do not expect
that the request will be refused and
the members of the committee antici-
pate meeting the operators early in
January. The committee will then
present the demands which were
formulated at the Shamokin conven-
ton and which have not yet officially
been made public.
If the operators refuse to receive
the committee it is not improbable
that some prominent men, or a COM
mittee of them, may be induced to
use their efforts to arrange a meet
ing.

THE TOOLS
Section Men Assist In Foiling
Burglars Plans

Last Friday section crew on the
Rock Island R'y. discovered brace of
44-cal. revolvers with cartridges at
tached, also bottle Of dynamite and
fuse, planted along the track south of
Elkton and notified the marshal of
that place, who placed a watch and
very soon afterward captured three
men who came to dig up the weapons.
When arrested one man carried a full
set OF burglars tools including files,
saws, skeleton keys and lock.picks,
showing that at least they were ready
to do business.
They were brought to Brookings
and placed in charge of Sheriff Camp
bell, who began making inquiries
from places where burglaries had been
committed, but up to the present time
nothing has been learned from whence
they came.
Two of the men were seen in this
city Thursday, having called at Skin
ner's department store where they
purchased small quantity OF butter
and some salt. 1t is presumed that
they were here locating prospects.
To Sheriff Campbell the prisoners
gave as their names James Morris,
aged about 45; w. Price, aged about
%; Herman Miller, aged about 40.
Miller is tough looking fellow and
has marks which should place him on
record. Morris is nervous and looks
like man who has dissipated. Price,
the young man, is a sharp looking
fellow and carried the tools. When he
was being photographed he made a
fight and twisted his face all out of
shape so that the picture would not be
of any use in identifying him. The
others also tried to prevent having
good pictures secured.

The current issue of What to Eat, a
magazine devoted to the pure food
interests of the nation, in speaking of
the meeting of the National Associa-
ton Of State Dairy and Food Commits
sioners at Portland, being held this
week, says that "the choosing of Off
GERS Of the national association will
probably be the most important step
the association can take in beginning
its new duties" In this connection
it goes on to say, "There is Prof. j.
H. Shepard, state chemist of South
Dakota, who, in addition of possess
ing all the qualities essential to a
successful executive officer, is a
chemist Of world wide reputation.
America has no more competent food
chemist than Prof. Shepard. He
could be of inestimable aid as the
head of the national association in the
efforts to establish uniform standards.
He is honest, fearless, a tireless
worker, and enthusiastic in his loyalty
to the pure food cause. Prof. Shepard
would make president that the
national associatian could justly feel

THIRTY-FIVE
HUNDRED
Brookings Has Increased Forty Pei
Cent in Five Years

w. H. Murphy, city assessor, in
forms the REGISTER that he has COM
pleted the census of this municipality
and the showing is all the most SAN
guine could wish. Brookings has, by
actual count and no padding, $3.50
population. Add to this the students,
which are not allowed to be taken, and
it would make 5000. Again add the
transients and we would have $500.
But the showing at $3.50 is a gain Of
forty per cent.
There are 1924 children OF school
age in the city, an increase of eighty
per cent during the past five years.
No wonder we are compelled to build
new school houses.
: Assessor Murphy says the taxable
valuation Of city property is 1886, 900,
an increase OF $43, 900 over last year.
There are few cities in the state that
can make a better showing and the
people of this commonwealth have
just reason for being proud of the city
and its progress.
