FARMERS INSTITUTE
Now M Session at the Grand Opera
House

The Brookings County Farmers Ir-
stitute opened late yesterday forenoon
at the opera house. Business was de-
layed because the house had not been
warmed SO that people could stay in it
with any degree of comfort. However,
up to the noon hour thirty-four ex-
hibits of corn had been received and
registered by Superintendent Stearns
and the attendance was much better
than was expected.
President Sherwin called the meet
ing to order about the hour OF eleven
O'Clock. Directors were elected and
constitution and bylaws adopted. The
President gave his address, and the
meeting adjourned. In the Afternoon
nearly 250 were presentand papers and
discussions were in order. Next week
the REGISTER will give detailed ac-
count of the institute. We will say
that it bids fair to be most success
full meeting.

MARCH SNOW STORM
Trains Delayed and Travel General
ly Takes a Vacation

When February faded away without
giving this section anything to regret
it was thought that winter was about
over, but on Friday a heavy snow
storm set in and being accompanied
by high wind the CONCEALED moisture
piled into drifts everywhere. Trains
were delayed and in some cases
abandoned. Saturday morning the
snow pillow was started out from Huron
followed by the passenger train which
had been delayed twenty-four hours
No difficulty was encountered in open
ing the road and the passenger train
from the east Saturday evening was
only few moments late.
Owing to the moderate temperature
no suffering was caused and on Sun
day the snow began to melt away. 1t
is estimated that about four inches OF
snow fell here. The storm at other
points throughout the northwest was
more severe. While in the south
disastrous cyclones are reported.

Hall at Centerville

The Centerville Jonrnal of last week
says, ga crowded house greeted
Attorney General Hall and Hon. Coe
L. Crawford at the opera house here
last evening at the opening OF the
1906 campaign.
This was Mr.. Halls first introduce
ton to our people, who are impressed
with his sincerity, his ability and his
convictions. They were prepared to see
a much older man than Mr.. Hall ap-
pears to be, but recognized the splen-
did record he has made as attorney
general of the state, his answering
loyalty to the interests of the people
as opposed to corporate abuses and
usurpation of power, the fact that he
is yet comparatively young man but
adds to his strength. He is made OF the
right kind of stuff for a capable and
loyal congressman, against whom will
never be brought the charge that he
betrayed the trust reposed in him.

given him. For an hour he held the

CITY CONCERT BAND
Will Presenta Pleasing Program
Purely a Band Benefit

NexFTuesday evening, March 18th,
the City band will give Benefit con-
cert at the Grand opera house which
should be attended by as many as can
crowd their way in at the doors. For
years this band has been the pride of
Brookings and has perhaps furnished
more pure enjoyment to visitors and
citizens than any other attraction ever
maintained by volunteer service on
the part of its members. Watertown
and other places pay large salaries to
band leaders and contribute liberal
sums to sustain bands, but we believe
Brookings has equally as good music
if not better than other places. This
is because our musicians take a pride
in the town and realize what pleasure
it affords visitors to hear we'll render
ed music.
The music which will be. played
Tuesday evening is up-to-date, and
the program will certainly please. The
Chill In the Forrest" a descriptive
piece, will be worth the price of ad-
mission, Some Of the leading vocal
talent OF the city has kindly consent.
ed to assist in the concert and the
audience will get the worth of their
money. Secure your tickets al
Palmer's early.
After the concert an opportunity
to dance will be given all who wish tc
remain.

Chief Engineer Buckley's record
shows that the city has been remark
ably free from serious fires since the
commencement Of the municipal year.
There have been IN all 80 alarms since
last March, hut the majority have
been of the nature of "stil alarms"
which is the term applied to the calls
which the CuShnoc or Atlantic Hose
companies receive 10y telephone and
which are due mostly to the burning
out of chmneys. These calls however
are responded to as promptly as are
the whistle alarms. and many are the
times in the course of year that only
the prompt ard efficient work of the
fremnn at these chimney fires prevents
a more serious blaze. and is work of
which the general public knows moth
ing The loss of property from fire
during the year has been comparative
~ slight and the most serious fire of
the year was that which damaged the
laundry building at the Insane hospital
on the morning of Oct. II. The greatest
number of calls which the men have
had in one day was five, on the first
day of May.

MANY SUDDEN DEATHS
FROM POISONOUS RHEUMATISM.
The Disease Has Its Dangers-Should
Be Taken in Time.

Rheumatism has long been regarded
as a trouble which, while it might be
painful. was not necessarily dangerous.
Very few persons, it was thought, ever
died from Rheumatism. Recent inves-
tigation among scientists has proved,
however, the utter fallacy of such a
belief. Thrcc-fourths to seven-eighths
of tho sudden deaths. hear: failures.
etc, are due primarily to neglected
Ehnumatism. The Rheumatic Acid
Poison is allowed to stay in the system
until suddenly one day il grips the
muscles of the heart and all is over.
rheumatism is durable if the proper
treatment is used. Liniments. plasters
and all local applications may relieve
the pain for short time, but no one
ever heard of their permanently cur
ing a case of rheumatism. The only
way to cure rheumatism is the Uric-O
way. NeutrdliZe the Rheumatic acid
and drive it from the system. That Is
what Cric-O does. No matter what
is the kind or character of the Rheu-
matism. it is all caused by the same
Rheumatic poison. Lumbago. Muscu-
lar or Articular rheumatism yields at
