Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of Kidney
Illness Profit By Brownsville PEG.
pies Experience.

Occasional attacks of backache,
irregular urination, headaches and
dizzv spells are common early
symptoms of kidney disorders. IT,
an error to neglect these Ills. The
attacks may pass off for time, but
return with greater intensity. If
there are symptoms of dropsy-
puffy swellings below the eyes,
bloating of limbs or ankles, or any
other part of the body, don't delay
a minute. Begin taking Doan's
Kidney Pills, and keep up the
treatment until the kidneys are
we'll, when your old time health and
vigor will return. Cures in Browns
vile prove the effectiveness of this
great kidney remedy.
N. L. Miller, of the firm of Mil
Ter q Lltch, painters, and living
on Elizabeth street. Brownsville,
Texas, says: i can conscien-
tiously state that for four months
past, since using Doan's Kidney
Pills, procured at J. L. Putegnat
& Bros drug store, have felt
better, and am now in better con-
dition, than l have been for sever
al years past. Before taking this
remedy, l was annoyed almost con-
stantly with a pain across the small
of my back and in the loins. If l
sat or was still for any length of
time and then made sudden move,
a sharp twinse would dart through
me like lightning. I used two
boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills and
from my experience would advise
everybody suffering from kidney
trouble to give this wonderful rem
Iedy a trial."

Beyond All Understanding.

The court martial which tried
Maj. Penrose at San Antonio ac-
quilted him, but found that the
negro troops, and not the people
of Brownsville, made the attack on
the latter city. It is about the first
time the records show where peo-
pie were even charged with mali
ciously assaulting themselves. That
the negro troops should have re-
sorted to such ridiculous defense
is strange, and that intelligent army
officers and members of the United
States Senate should have adopted
such defense is beyond all under
standing Galveston News.
The following appointments hav
been made by DIR. V. P. Armstrong
health officer of this district: w.
J. Russell. inspector at Browns
vile, and Daniel Buitureira, in
spector on Padre Island. The doc
tor will make the other appoint
ments of inspectors the first OF next
month.

Many Heard Bryan,

The largest crowd ever assembled in
the opera house greeted William
Jennings Bryan Saturday evening.
Every seat in the house was taken
several days before the lecture and
about hundred and fifty chairs were
placed on the stage and in front of
opera seats to accommodate the out of
town people who had failed to get seats.
A large number from out of town were
present, nearly every town within a
radius OF fifty miles being represented.
Mr.. Bryan took for his subject, "The
Old World and its Ways" the lecture
being descriptive of his recent tour Of
the world. 1t was a fine effort, and
greatly appreciated by the large audi
ence. Mr.. Bryan arrived here from
the east Saturday evening, direct from
his home at Lincoln, Neb., and he
left on the late train Immediately after
his lecture.

this recognition of the importance Of

BROOK|NGS COUNTY
FAIR ASSOCIATION
Decide to Purchase Prentice Land
For New Fair Grounds
AND PLAN FAIR FOR next FALL
That Will Certainly Be a Hummer
If Properly Supported

The board OF directors OF the Brook
ings County Fair Association at their
meeting Saturday afternoon decided
to purchase the twenty acres OF land
OF Iack Prentice in west Brookings,
on which they have had an option for
some time. AS preliminary step the
old fair grounds south of town, were
placed on the market, ana after pay
ing off the present debt this money
will be used as part payment on the
new grounds. A committee was ap-
pointed to sell stock, and it is be-
lieved that enough can be disposed OF
to place the association on a good
financial footing. The board OF direc-
tors to show their faith in this pro-
position, each subscribed for twenty
shares of stock. II the association is
given the proper encouragement and
support by the citizens of the city we
will have county fair next fall that
will be hummer. With the fair
located on the Prentice land the as
sociation ought to prosper, and
money placed into it in the shape of
shares OF stock will not be gratis, but
in time will prove good investment.
The association proposes to fix the
grounds up in good shape by laying
out fine track and putting up good
buildings. The base ball association
has offered to transfer its fence and
grandstand to the new grounds, and
a base ball diamond will be laid out,
probably inside the race track. In
short it will be general athletic park,
where everybody will be privileged to
go for few hours recreation and en-
joyment.

Joy Reigned Supreme.

The carnival given by the college
athletic association at the gymnasium
Friday evening, was great success
in every way, and the boys cleaned
up enough money to place the associa-
ton on good financial footing.
About four hundred students and
townspeople were present and enjoyed
the evenings fun. The various attract
ions, such as the weiner wurst stand
candy booths, bowery, etc., were we'll
conducted and literally patronized.
The mock court in charge on "Judge"
Jensen, furnished good deal of
amusement, and all offenders were
given the same sentence, "five days or
five throws at the Niger" Miss Ada
Erwin OF the Sophmore class, was
queen of the carnival, and she proved
to be very gracious and charming
ruler. Messrs. Brown and Sperb are
the "real thing" when it comes to fl
lnsncing the affairs OF the association.

evening to inspect Company c. Capt.
Bent is from Chicago, and will make

the boys will make a good showing.
Capt. Guyer, the commandant at the
college, will hold a preliminary in

Electric Power Wanted

City Engineer Aanes is canvassing
the city to see how many patrons he
can secure for day run of electricity.
There are no doubt enough to make
it profitable for the city to furnish
power for running machinery which
is now driven by gasoline. Montevi-
deo, Mimi, has a day run and is
making it pay well. Watertown also
has day run and it always pays.
The current can be used for ironing
as we'll as for power and Mr.. Aanes
has figures which show that the cost
OF the power to the patron as we'll as
the expense to the city is such that
both the city and the patron will find
it satisfactory and profitable. Several
parties who have been negotiating to
put in new gasoline engines are wait
ing the motion of the city council and
il steps are not taken at once to intro
duce the day current this patronage
will be lost as the parties are obliged
to have some sort Of power within a
few weeks.

evening. The evening was spen:
most delightfully."- with program con-
sisting OF music, refreshments and
toasts, given by the members of the
club. The toasts were all upon botani.
cal subjects. The profound "know.
ledge" displayed by the speakers in
discussing such subjects as Zoology
Phanaerogams and Morphology af.
forded amusement to all, especially to
Prof. Wheeler. There were present,

HENRY BORSTAD IS KILLED
Is Killed BY Train Near EStelllne While
Driving on the Track

DR.. O'Connor of ElktOn, county
coroner was in the city Saturday on
his way home from Estelline, where
he was called to inquire into the death
of Henry Borstad, who was killed by
the Watertown passenger Friday even
ing. The accident happened about
three miles south Of Estelline, just
inside the Brookings county line.
Borstad was on his way home from
Estelline when the accident happened,
and it is supposed that he was in an
intoxicated condition, as he had
driven along the railroad track for
nearly mile. Upon the approach of
the train the horses turned away from
the track and were not injured, but
the engine struck the wagon with full
force, demolishing it, and killing
Borstad almost instantly. After
ascertaining the facts Of the case DR..
O'COnnor decided that an inquest was
unnecessary, as the train crew were
plainly not at fault. The evening
was very dark, the moon not yet having
risen, and the engineer did not see
the team and wagon until he was
nearly on top Of them. Borstad was
young man about % years of age,
and was employed as farmland by
Ole Amundson. Conductor Hager
was u charge of the train, and Chris.
Maths was the engineer.

May Musical Festival.

For some time past the idea OF hold
ing May Music Festival has been
discussed ny musical circles in and
about the college, and the first move
in that direction was made last Tues
day in preliminary meeting for the
organization OF Festival association.
The idea is to boom not merely the
college, but the city as an up.to-date
educational and musical centre-as
we'll as the establishment OF an an
nual event which shall be the pleasure
and pride OF our citizen, as we'll as
han opportunity to those in neighbor-
ing towns and country.
Plans were made for the formation
OF permanent organization at a meet
ing to be held at the Assembly room
Of the main building of the public
schools at 500 o'clock next Tuesday
evening. The membership OF the
association will be made up Of repre-.
sentatives OF the college faculty, the
city schools, pastors OF the city, deli
gates from all of the musical organi-
zations Of the college and city, and
representative business men and
women.
1t is an enterprise that all should
take active interest in, and although
only members OF the association will
be entitled to vote, all are cordially
invited to attend

OPPORTUNITY CLUB
Formed at Pierre by Prof. Kerr Is Do
ing Grand Work

Prc.essor Kerr is the father OF a
unique club OF young men formed in
Pierre about q year and a half ago.
Professor Kerr saw soon after his
coming to Pierre that there was no
real binding influence among the
young men of the town and no in
ducements to keep them away from
the saloon and slippery anne joints
aside from occasional invitations to
the homes OF their friends. So he
consulted some OF the younger men
and the result was the formation Of
the Opportunity Club which has con-
tinued in existence ever since and
has already gained position of some
distinction in the Capitol city.
1t is customary to hold Sunday
afternoon meetings and until the club
moved into club rooms in the new
Hyde Block the first of January these
meetings were held at the Governors
office at the State House. But the
most enjoyable feature OF the club
life thus opened up to the young man
was the custom inaugurated and
faithfully carried out OF commemorat-
ing national holidays with banquet
and at frequent other times the Club
has held informal spreads at the
different cafes and the feast OF wit and
flow OF soul present on these occasions
has cemented a strong bond Of fellow
ship among the Opportunities,
At one OF these banquets the mem.
bers each invited his employer or
patron and the assembled company OF
sixty comprised, it is said, the most
select and representative body of Off
cial, political and business life that
has been brought together in Pierre
in many years.
On the evening OF Washington s
Birthday the Club held its banquet at
the Capitol City Cafe where plates
were laid for twenty-five. DR.. F. B.
Gault, President OF the State Univer-
sity was the guest of honor and Tom
McNamee tOastmaster. Toasts were
given by Thomas Askin and Matt w.
Murphy to which Professor Kerr and
DR.. Gault responded. 1t is very evil
dent that Professor Kerr is as effec-
tionately regarded among the young
men OF Pierre as among the alumni
and students OF the South Dakota
State College.
