GROWING IN POPULARITY
Music Department Of State College

The growing popularity of the music
the guiding hand of Prof Loudenback
was fully attested by the large and
appreciatiye audience that greeted Fri

advanced students in the chapel.
At first glance we We're somewhat
staggered by the length OF the pro

its excellence and the splendid manner
in which it was carried out. We note

play with more harmony and express

at the same time demonstrates the eff

The vocal solo given by Mr.. Arthur
Koch was very nicely rendered and
reflects great credit upon the instruc-
ton given by Prof. Haynes, who has

given by the Misses Leekley, we think
it was one of the sweetest, prettiest
things we have heard in a long time
the music was catchy and their voices
blended so harmoniously together that
it was one of the most pleasing num-
bers of the program.
We believe the department is doing
effective work and we are pleased to
hear that the patronage is constantly
on the increase, as it deserves.

PRESIDENT A PEACEMAkER
kittredge and Gamble Get Together
Over South Dakota Appointments.

BY w. w. Jermane, Colorado Building,
Washington, ID. c.
Washington, ov.25.-Senators Cam
Bile and Kittredge called in company
on the president to day and on leav-
ing the White House, announced that
they might have a statement to give
out late this afternoon.
1t is understood that their visit had
to do with federal patronage and not
withstanding what had been printed
recently in twin city papers about
their alleged disagreement over the
postmastership at Armour, they are
in fact to get together on that and all
other positions in the state soon to be-
come vacant.
The president last spring told them
that they would be compelled to do
this or he would step in and make the
appointments himself. He doesn't
want the state to have a federal pat
ronage fight.

FEDERAL OFFICIALS ARE
CHOSEN BY CHANCE GAME
PRESIDENT Roosevelt Attempts to Settle the Dispute Between
Senators Gamble and Kttredde
BOTH RESERVE RIGHT TO FIGHT AGAIN IF THEY WANT TO
II Senators Are Not Good President May Take Matters in
His Own Hands

Washington. Nov. 25.--The White
House was the scene of lottery draw
ing today in which the federal patron
age of the state of South Dakota was
disposed of. The president of the
United States turned the wheel of for
tune, and Senators Kittredge and Gam
bic drew out the prize packages.
There We're many vacant offices in
the state, due to the fact that the two
senators have been unable to agree
upon applicants, thus permitting the
old ohiceholders to hold on long be-
yond the time to which they were ap-
pointed.
The senators met in the presidents
Office today by appointment to agree,
if possible, upon a distribution, but
found themselves just as far apart as
they have been in his absence. The
president saw the difficulty and pro-
posed that they draw lots. The sena-
tors agreed, and the position of bank
examiner being the place in immediate
dispute the president tossed up a coin,
saying that heads meant that Kit
tredge should win and tails Senator
Gamble should name the man. The
piece of money fell heads up and the
nomination was thus awarded to Mr..
Kittredge.
method Of disposil.G Of the problem,
the president suggested that all vacan-
cies be filled after the same manner
and accordingly the names of the var
ious Offices were written upon slips of
paper. The two senator's then pro
ceeded to the drawings, with the re-
suit that Senator Gamble was awarded
the following offices: United States
district attorney for the state, col
lector of internal revenue registers
at the land Offices at Aberdeen and
Chamberlain and receivers at the land
Offices at Rapid City, Pierre, Huron
and Aberdeen, and Indian agent at
the Lower Brule agency.
In addition to the office Of national
bank examiner Senator Kittredge
drew the following Offices: Assayer
of the mint at Deadwood, registers at
Mitchell, Rapid City, Pierre and HUI
ron; receivers at Mitchell and Cham
berlain, Indian agents at Crow Creek
agency and the authorship for the
treasury department.
The result of the lottery will be that
the president will be guided by it in
designating officials to fill the vacan-
cies, Senator Kittredge recommending
for the Offices which he drew, and
Senator Gamble for the others.
The agreement was hastily made
and is binding only in the matter of
nomination, each senator reserving the
right to oppose the confirmation of a
person nominated at the instance of
the other.

STRONGER THAN EVER
President Roosevelt Grows in Favor
Every Succeeding Day

Representative J. A. T. Hull of Iowa,
who is in Washington when asked
last Monday what he thought of the
presidential question said:
president Roosevelt is stronger
now than before he wrote his letter
forbidding federal officeholders from
working for election as delegates to
the national convention by advocating
his. denomination or seeking to have
him indorsed by state conventions.
"Three-fourths of the republicans of
Iowa desire Roosevelt for the next
president whether he wants it or not.
| thought that the panic would react
upon his popularity, but the people of
Iowa don't regard him as responsible
in the slightest degree, but believe
that the responsibility rests upon bad
banking, bad insurance and bad rail.
roading. The average man i'm Iowa re-
CARDS the charge that the president is
responsible for the present furry as
fully as unjust as to abuse the sheriff
for arresting a man who was trying to
break into a vault. The president is
not regarded as a candidate for re-
nomination, but our people believe
that no man can refuse to serve if the
people command. There is little senti.
ment for Taft.

WIN FROM LAKE BENTON
Second Team Captures a Decided

In the first few minutes of the game
Lake Benton swept Brookings off its
feet, carrying the ball straight down
the field to the 25-yard line. Here
the home team held and Lake Benton
punted to the 5-yard line. The Brook.
ings backfield handled the punt poorly
and a visitor grabbed the ball and ran
five yards for touchdown. Lake
Benton failed at goal.
Brookings then took brace and by
a series of forward passes, mixed with
some good end runs by Holiday and
Peirce, carried the ball sixty yards for
first touchdown, and afterward kicked
the goal The score at the end of the
half was: Brookings,6 Lake Zen

In the second half the home team
ran all over the visitors, making three
touchdowns inside of fifteen minutes.
The visitors were powerless 10 stop
the rushes of Brookings, and had the
halves been of regulation length the
score would have been twice as large.
For BroOkings Lacey Caldwell was
the star. His work in carrying the
ball was excellent, his lodging and
straigntarming being worthy Of a
much more experienced player. He
will make excellent material for the
first team next year. The work of
Vincent Chappell, Eugene Kelley and
Glenn Tidball was first-class. Walter
Reeves showed that all the talent In
the family was not confined to one
member by playing nice game at
left end.

A Word About Powdered Sulphur

Powdered sulphur, or as it is technically called, flowers of sulphur" is valuable remedial agent. Who doesn't remember the old fashioned sulphur and molasses gv- en in the spring 70 purify the blood, And it was valuable remedy too. But the form of sulphur makes it hard of assimilation makes it hard to get even small quantity of the sulphur into the blood. The greater part of the flowers of sulphur taken into the stomach is undgested and passes out with cut doing any good whatever. The very little that is assimilated does great good considering its quantity. For this reason
 hysicians and scientists have for years tried
 find some way of holding sulphur in iq-
 i'd solution so that all of it could be assirn-
 ated and taken into the blood or when ap-
 lied externally to sores, etc. be absorbed
 nto the skin. Littell's Liquid Sulphur a;complishes this with absolute perfection. IL is assimilated perfectly and every part cle of it gets into the blood with not one of
 h.. wonderful sulphur curative and medi- ci::a! properties changed or lessened. Ap- piled externally it is rapidly and readily absorbed and actually brings the sulphur into contact with the germs of suppuration, modification, decay or disease which it rapidly destroys. Littell's Liquid Sulphur stops itching instantly and permanently re- leves all forms of skin complaint, eczema, srysipelas, pimples, running sores, letter, ring worm, chaps, roughness, redness, or skin blotches.e Sample bottle sent post paid to any address for l0c.

FIRST WHITE
 HOUSE CHRISTMAS

Washington, Dec. 24.-In view of the feast to be held by President Roosevelt and his family in the exec utive mansion tomorrow. Washington historians who are familiar with the early days of the capital are recall ing that the first White House Christ mas dinner was held in the year 1900. John Adams was then chief executive and his thrifty wife, Abigail presided with him at the banquet board.
 Instead of the turkey winch Presi- dent Roosevelt will distribute tomor- row, President Adams distributed por- tions of juicy haunch of venison, which was sent to the White House as gift of Mrs Washington. The White House was not then the pala- tial edifice that it is now, and it is said that stray ends of icy blasts found their way into the dining room as President Adams and his guests consumed their meal, and caused them to shiver. Washington was then but a city in the wilderness and every thing about the White House reflected It's neWness and rawness
 According to the chroniclers of that day, the view from the windows of the dining room of the White House disclosed "a deep morass covered with alder bushes. The walks were laid the Capitol was built" Around the tWhlte House were low twO-storied frame houses, most of them the resi- dences of congressman and govern ment officials. There were only six brick houses in the city and these were owned by capitalists who had made their money out of lotteries.
