THE ABSTRACT is ACCEPTED
The Title to the Governments Prop
erty is Good and has been Ac-
copied Plans as Follows.

Things aie moving along toward
Mitchell's government building, but
the process is evolving slowing along
the lines that the government re-
Quifes. What has been accomplished
SO fan in The procedure has been done
with the view of making no mistakes
that would in the least retald tie
fultiilment of the governments de-
sires.
The situation surrounding the gro
,iect al this time is about as follows:
After The site had been selected D..
A., zeneI, who represents the
Nlleillt owners of tie property, set
about 10 secure a faultless abstract
OF the property to submit to the
WASHINGTON authorities. Before send
ing The abstract to Washington, Mr.
Mizener submitted it to the United
States district attorney, who APP
proved it and then it was sent to
Washington, where it was passed up
on 10y the attorney general, who
approved Of the abstract and it was
then sent to treasury department,
and craft YVES forwarded for the
amount of the property. Outlines
the title to a piece OF property makes
a great deal Of trouble, and the gov
ernment is very particular in this re-
spect, so that MIR. Mizener was
doubly cautious in making the alb
stract so that there would not be the
leasb ground for delay on that score.
The perfect title speaks well for
the property OF the city.
Foil wing this the architects
plans will.be drawn and submitted
for approval. How long this will take
is a matter OF conjecture. After the
plans have been accepted, then
comes the advertising and awarding
the contract for the construction of
the building.

Lean at the Funeral.

Monday AFTERNOON at the Methodist
church occurred the funeral services
over the remains of the late Rev.
Lachlam MacLcan, who passed away
Friday evening, his death being due
to a cancerous ffllction. The church
contaln' d a Very large crowd OF
friends, who We're There 10 express
their kindly sympathy in the death
OF this splendid man. Around the
casket were st1ewn vast amount of
floral tributes sent by loving frienus
as a Slight expression for the very
high regard for the deceased. The
services were under the direction of
Dr. Thomas Nicholson, president Of
the University, and many others
participated in tie services. Some
excellent music was furnished by d
choir made up of the members of the
faculty OF the University, and was
composed of Misses I3eetN! and Robin
som anji NJ. s,eIa. Statln and IIohsull.
with Mrs. Brokaw at the organ.
Rev. DIR. Youngman read some
resolutions, as did Prof. 9. V. Gill
land which presented the expression
OF the bodies which they represented.
Addresses were mode by Or. Nichol-
son., Rev. j. B. Dobson, presiding
elder of the Mitchell district, Rev.
Y. p. Hager, presiding elder of the
HI1rnn 6ictrint on1 Dnc ID los,
kins, presiding elder of the Sioux
Falls district. From the remarks
made by each speaker a splendid
tribute was paid to the deceased.
They referred TO the great name that
was left by this man, which was
even better than riches. In their
associations with him they found
him SO manly in his belief and that
he lived a %brotherly life with his
associate preachers and his parish
toner's that in his death they felt
they had lost a brother. They had
found him in all his life spent in
this state a ,nan who was useful and
economical OF time and money, that
he worked With indefatigable earnest
ness on an: cause in which he was
engaged, whelher it was large or
small, nl i'm this he could be en-
trusted 20 the fullest extent. He was
a cOnseclaled and faithful man, who
was a close student Of the bible. AS
to his capabilities, Mr., MacLean had
filled many bigh and important posi-
lions during the years of his life.
There was a strong element of self
sacrifice in his life which was album
dainty exemplified in his daily exis-
tance, and this was noticeable in the
fact that bis capabilities were such
as to recommend him for higher and
more important work than that
which he was doing, but 10 him bis
work was where he thought he could
accomplish the greatest good. 1t was
the unanimous expression of the
speakers that Mr.. MacLean was a
great man, who very willingly worked
IN smaller places for the greatest
success of the work and who did not
shirk in the least from what he was
doing. DR.. Nicholson spoke with
especial emphasis of his financial
work and other things in connection
With the University, and expressed
the opinion that in ten years time
Mr.. MacLean would be in a position to
accomplish more for the institution
than n other man he knew Of AID
he felt extremely sorrowful that he
should be taken away as he was COM

OF the work. They found in him a
man who was highly devoted to his
family in a spiritual and fatherly
sense.

Bonapartists after the banishment of the emperor to the Island of EIba was held to mean ito return in the spring.
 The national floral emblem of Ger many is the cornfower or kaiser plume. It came into use in the days when Napoleon invaded Prussia, and Queen Louise, mother of Emperor Will lian l, was forced to take refuge with her children in the outskirts of Berlin. To pacify their cries, caused by ex- posture and hunger, she wore garlands of cornhowers, and thus 1t became the national emblem.
 The wars of the Roses are land marks in English history. The red rose was chosen as his flower by Ed- ward l, and John of Gaunt adopted it when he married Blanche, the heiress of Lancaster, from her father, Ed munG CrOuchback, brother of King Edward. The younger brother of John, Edmund Langley, Duke of York, adopted the white rose, and in the wars between their descendants, Hen ry VI, of Lancaster, and Edward ", of York, for the possession of the crown, the distinctive emblems were adopted by their followers, and the conflicts were called Wars of the Roses,' The marriage of Henry VII, of Lancaster to Elizabeth of York, eldest daughter of Edward ", united the rival houses and put an end to the cruel civil war. The white and the red roses were united under the names of the Tudor rose, which became the na- tlonal flower of England.

Tobacco Smoking.

The Herald's special medical article by Professor II. Senator, of Berlin, treats of a subject always of interest to persons of all classes and ages. It is the question whether to smoke or not to smoke. Whatever may be said pro or con, it is an undenlable fact, as Professor Senator says, tobacco is per haps the most universally used luxury of all those that minister to the steady progressive nervous strain to advanc- ing civilization.
 Accord ng to his view, which is sen- sible enough, smoking can be called 8 luxury when indulged in in proper moderation-the same as tea, coffee and various other dffusibe stimu- lants. Like all neurotic excitors of its kind, the habtue should discreetly moderate the dose to sut individual requirements.
 The main trouble is overcultivation of the habit "Thcrein lies the tempta- ton and also its danger" While it is hard 10 convince the moderate smoker of the terror of his ways, when he ex- periences that pleasant feeling, or even as claimed when his nerves are eNcjted,' it is equally difficult to per suade the incessant user of the weed of the positive harm he is innicting on himself
 Professor Senator is judiciously em- phatic on this latter point, and there In lies one of the chief merits of his article.
 The mischief in most of such cases is a permanent and irreparable one. The moral is to know when to stop anc i think. The distinguished professor en. dcayGrs to give due point to it by ref egence to Well-establshed scientific facts bearing on the ultimate damage 1 to certain organs and the Warninp symtoms that accompany such de. i |rangement. The injurious effects are most dangerous in the case of the 1 heart and blood vessels and in that ot ! the digestive and nervous systems.
 The heart is usually the first to sui. fer and more or less persistent palpita- Jion is the first indication. The loss of appetite, restlessness, insomnia, feeble memory, imperfect vision and actua. disease of the arteries (arterio sclero- ss) follow. All this because the de- luded habitue persists in experimenting with the essential yitals processes that arc the very foundations of his being. merely because his win is weak and his good sense hopelessly paralyzel.
 The professor also lays proper stress

A Question in Bankruptcy.

A Sioux Falls special of a few days
ago gives the following item of much
importance:
A petition in voluntary bankruptcy
has been fled in the United States
court in Sioux Falls, by John Oak, a
member of the firm of Reynard & Oak
which is engaged in business in Hot
Springs, S. D. The petition is un-
usual in that John Reynard, the other
member of the firm, refuses to join his
partner in filing the petition. In the
petition Oak states that the firm is
bankrupt andsunable to pay its debts
in full and that he is willing to sur
render the firms property for the
benefit of all the creditors.
In schedule accompanying his
petition Oak states that the firm has
liabilities amounting to 39,268.50, with
assets of $4,000. He schedules his in
dividual liabilities at S7,848. SO, and his
assets at $4,000. Of his assets property
to the value $3.50 is claimed to be ex-
empt.
In view of the fact that John Rey
nard. the other member of the firm,
did not join in fling the petition
Judge Garland has issued an order re
quiring him to appear before him on
August 81 and show cause why the
petition of his partner, John Oak,
should not be granted.

We are at loss to know who is res
ponsible for it, or who did it, but it was
almost crime, and strictly against
the city ordinance, for the section
hands of the Northwestern R'y to set
fire to the grass along the street, on
the bank of the creek and let it burn
those beautiful elm trees on the op-
posite side of the street from the pow
er house. The city and its residents
have spent thousands of dollars in
trying to beautify the streets and the
town by planting trees, and for anyone
to deliberately set fire to such beau
tiful cluster of the finest kind of trees
that grow is shame that needs some
public notice. The trees have prob
ably been killed, but sufficient atten-
tion should be given the act to prevent
another such shameful obstruction.
