The city of Milbank is on the verge
of severe epidemic of diphtheria,
and 1t is advisable that we take it in
good time and try to stem the trouble
before'it gets as prevalent as last year.
The board of health alone can do only
part of the work. They can ADVISE,
form rules and regulations and give
OF ders as to what should be done, but if
the public at large does not assist in
the work, it is uselss for tn e board to
try to do anything.
The present epidemic shows NOR
tality OF 20 per cent, and that means
q severe form of the disease, so the
sooner it Is stopped the better.
The board of health in conjunction
with the board of education deem it
advisable that the schools should be
closed also the Sunday schools
and all other public gatherings
for at least two weeks, for it is much
better that the children lose a couple
of weeks of school than undergo Ii
ability OF contracting the disease. It
Is we who are responsible for them
- 60: ..rt- compels us tolook out SO
let the people each and every one assist
all ia their power to rid our city of the
dread disease which threatens to be
serious and take off good many of
our little ones.

Pres. of Board OF Health.

The discovery of several cases
of diphtheria last week, and death
resulting ia two of the cases,
was the cause of exciting con
siderable alarm lest an epidemic
Of the disease was about to break
out. A meeting of the city
board of health was held and
the matter discussed, the result
being I hat the board decided as
u matter of precau ton to close
The schools for couple of weeks
and prohibit all other public
gatherings for the same length
Of time. While this measure
would necessarily create some
inconvenience, the board beliey-
ed it was the part of wisdom to
take every possible precaution
against the spread Of the dis
ease before it, had become cpl
demic, and the order of the
board is published in another
column. The only new case
since last week is that of Flor
ence Dempsey, in the home OF
D. Mclaughlin. All of the
several patients are now doing
we'll. and as strict quarantine
has been established at the
homes where the disease is To-
Gated, it is believed that there
will be no further spread of the
infection.
1t is particularly desirable
that parents observe the order
of the board of health to keep
their children from congregating
on the streets and in public
places, for if this is not done the
order closing the schools will
have little effect in checking the
spread of the disease. A hearty
support should be given the
board of health in it's endeavor
to maintain the public health
and preserve the city from an
epidemic of the disease.

Big Stone Headlig HIT is stated
that Mr.. Bentley is about to move his
Grant County News from Twin Brook
to Mi]bank where he will occupy the
old Schnabel building on Second
avenue. This may be necessary
move from business standpoint but
it will not endear the proprietor to the
people of Twin Brooks, nor to the
people of Milbank either, when thew
get square view ofwhat the PROPOSE
tion Involves. MilbRnk is rot GOOD
newspaper town, considering its size,
and while two papers can do fairly
renumerative business there, three. If
the business is divided among them
will just about keep even and none of
them will be able to REPRESENT as
good town as Milbank is growing
to be. However it is matter which
is up to the people Of Milbank, and
does not interest any other citizen of
the county except as he takes certain
pride in the growth, and In the proper
outside exponents OF his county-seat.

FROM THE PRESIDENT


The time Of the year has come when.
in accordance with the wise custom o(
our forefathers, it becomes my duty
TO set aside special day of thanks
giving and praise to the Almighty be-
cause of the blessings we have receiv-
ed, and OF prayer that those bless ingo
be continued. Yet another year Of
widespread well-being has passed.
Never before in our history or In tho
history of any other nation has =
people enjoyed more abounding ma
terial prosperity than is ours, .
prosperity so great that it should
arouse in US no spirit of reckless
pride, and least OF all q spirit of heed
less disregar of our res possibilities.
out rather a sober sense OF our many
blessings and resOlute purpose, un.
der Providence, not to forfeit them by
any action of our own.
Material well-being, indispens able
though 1t Is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this found dation, then
our national life will be rs meaning
less and empty as house where only
the foundation has been laid. Upon
our material well-being must be built
q superstructure of individual and
national lives In accordance with tho
laws of the highest morality, or else
our prosperity itself will in the long
run turn out curse instead of .
blessing.
We should be both hreverently thank
ful for what we have received aud
earnestly bent upon turning it into .
means of grace and not of destruction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart
Thursday, the twenty ninth day OF
November next, as day of thanks-
giving and duplication, on which tho
people shall meet In their home or
their churches, devoutly to acknowl-
edge all that has been given them.
and to pray that they may in addition
receive the power to use these gifts

State of South Dakota, Executive De-

The people, the plain people, of this
state have great reason to be thankfu1
for the many and bountiful bless ines
which they have enjoyed during tho
past year.
In all probability the state has
never been freer from sickness and
disease, and of all our blessings
none surpasses that of good health.
Another great blessing which our
people have enjoyed is they have had
all the work they could possibly do.
The reward has been the fullest
measure and the result is that our
homes, the humblest as well as tho
richest, are provided with all the nec-
essaries and many OF the comforts Of
life. There is q something about To
completeness of the South Dakota
home, that strong as the word f.,
does not fully convey an adequaeo
idea of the comfort and hospitality.
