WAS OF REAL RARE MERIT
THE Holy City" Makes Distinct
Hit Monday Evening

Christmas Eve was busy one this
year. Taking into consideration the
usual Christmas exercises in several
OF the churches, the necessary Christ
mas shopping left until the last min
ute, it was indeed pleasant surprise
to see such a large audience at the
Grand, Monday evening to witness the
grand Biblical drama, "The Holy
City," Words OF fpraise for this great
production from a ruralcritic must in
deed sound commonplace, but custom
DEGREES that we must say something.
In our opinion "The Holy City" is
not only one of the greatest dramas
ever staged but it has another version.
1t purifies and makes sacred the stage
OF today with its tinsel and folly, its
unreality and buffonery. The Bible
story of the cruciixion and the events
that lead up to it; the strong, yet weak
character of Plate; the intriguing
High Priest, Caiphas; the noble young
roman, Marlus; John the Baptist, the
truthful one, who because Of his truth

iodias, the evil queen caused his death;
the strong yet perverted Salomc, and
most beautiful and lovely characters
OF elizabeth, the mother Of John the
Baptist. and Mary Magdeline, both
portrayed by True Powars, is complex
yet Gordon d Benefits company made
all SO simple a child might under
stand and profit 10y seeing il.
While individual characters may
not have been so good this year as last
the fine audience present overlooked
any Of these and probed deeper into

FREE ALCOHOL LAW CHANGE
Senator HanSbrOugh'S Amend
ment Would Cut Out Red Tape

Senator Hansbrough Of North OAK
ota introduced an amendment to the
free alcohol law, authorizing the COM
missioner OF internal revenue to make
special arrangements for denaturing
alcohol distilled by persons in such
small quantities as not to justify the
additional expenses OF individual ware
houses, for each distiller, as required
by law.
1t is the opinion Of the senator that,
il adopted, the amendment will admit
Of the installation by individuals or
groups OF farmers OF agricultural and
produce stills now in successful use in
Germany; that much Of the official red
tape, which he says is now necessary,
will be done away with without the
danger OF imposition or fraud, and at
the same time give the farmers OF the
country advantages with respect to the

Fishback retired just before the pre-
sentation and returned to receive con-
gratulations afterward. Mr.. Kennedy

BROOKINGS, SOUTH DAKOTA. DECEMBER 81. 1906.

Bookings, another to go due west
from Rutland and still another little
west of north of Rutland, and it will
depend almost entirely how the people
feel in the way of bonuses as 10 which
one of these propositions we adopt.
The farmers are after us to build in
every direction, but my experience has
shown that while they will promise
literally before we decide to build,
after decision is made, they, or at
least great many Of them, do not
feel so liberal. A glance at the map
will show that the territory on either
side of the four propositions mentioned
is practically the same.
81 should think however, that the
people after while would take some
stock in what we say. A good percent
age of the Madison people thought it
was not possible for us to build except
we went to that place and there are also
lot of Brookings people who think
should we build further we must go
there. | want to say in this connection
that we made Brookings a proposition
last spring which was vCry modest
indeed. and had they complied with
its terms, our road would now be run
ming into that place and the people
who were asked to invest only very
small sum could now have their money
back.
81 am placing orders for material
now, for from twenty to thirty miles
and figuring with contractors for grad
ing which must commence just as soon
as the frost vii lpermit. Our surveyors
will be put in the field at once

DAKOTA CENTRAL RAILWAY
Report That the Read Will be

The Sioux Falls Press called upon
President p. F. Sherman of that rail-
road company and asked for inform
alton concerning the future plans OF
his company.
In reply Mr.. Sherman authorized
the following statement:
"It has been decided by the stock
holders OF the South Dakota Central
railway to extend its road the coming
year. / am not able to state at this
time just how much we will build, but
in all probability from twenty to thir-
ty miles, possibly more. Neither am

would be to build from Rutland to

METHODIST CHURCH

The Christmas exercises at the M.
f.. church was a departure from the
usual custom OF such services. The
program was made up with illustrated
songs, an illustrated reading by Miss
Lillian Breed and descriptive, illus
trated informal talk by DR.. Hall.
Prof. j. f. Olander operated the ma
chine and the views shown were no
only appropriate but beautiful. Mrs.
Chas Poole sang "Let Your Tower
Lights Be Burning" the chorus being
sung by male quartet stationed in
the choir room. She was heartily en-
c)red and responded with the repeti-
ton OF the last stanza. After the
short program the stockings filled with
candies and nuts were distributed a.
mong the Sunday school children.
The decorations were few and con-
sisted for the most part OF a snow-cov-
cred house representing the abode Of
Santa Claus.

The Baptists held their exercises in

had the regular services usually given
each year. Their program consisted
OF songs and recitations suitable to the
Christmas time and spirit. The
Christmas tree was beautifully decor
ated and the children OF the Sunday
school were we'll remembered with pre-
sents. The orchestra also gave sever
al selections which went to make the
evening more enjoyable.
