SHAW LOOSES RACE
Anderson, a Springfield, Minnesota
Wins, But is "AI In"

The half-mile foOtrace between Shaw
of Bushnell and Anderson of Elkton,
came off at the Fair grounds Satur-
day afternoon, Anderson winning in a
close and wellrun race. The time for
the race was 2:12 and 3-5, which con-
sidering the weather and the condi
ton of the track was remarkable.
Anderson set the pace for the first
quarter, when Shaw took the lead and
looked to be an easy winner, but lost
out in the last five yards. Shaw
looked to be the best man, and we
would think that if he wore pair of
shoes with shorter spikes he would
have won. He was certainly the fresh
est at the finish, as Anderson tainted
dead away when he crossed the tape
There was good crowd out, in spite
of the chilly weather, and considerable
money changed hands on the result.

BANKS ARE HEALTHY
Public Examiner cones Reports State
Banks in Good Condition

Public Examiner j. l.. Jones is re-
ceiving series of statements from
state banks for his Office files covering
the dates of Oct. - and 2S, and Nov.
4 and II. Something over 800 state
ments have been received of which
116 have been investigated and listed.
These show a reserve fund of nearly
SO per cent which is exceedingly salts
factory to the examiner. Complete
compilation of the statements is not
expected to change this status mater
tally. Mr.. Jones considers the condi-
ton of the state banks excellent, and
with the conservative action taken by
state bankers they will all emerge
from the money stringency in a heal
thy condition and with an experience
which will be beneficial in the future

SECOND TEAM AT MADISON
Normal No Match for the College
Eleven on Thanksgiving

The second college team defeated
the Madison Normal team at Madison
on Thanksgiving day by a score of 30
to 0. 1t was an easy game for the
BroOkings team, as the Madison team
failed to come up to expectations
and played a poor game. Brookings
made IS points in the first, carrying
the ball seventy yards for their first
touchdown and using nothing but old
style football. In the second half, time
had to be taken out so frequently for
injuries to the Madison team that the
BroOkings team never got to going
right.
The Madison papers in their write
ups of the game seemed to have been
labOring under the impression that
it was the first team of the college
that was up against the Madison boys
and seemed to feel that Madison did

Madison played a plucky game, but

us that had the first team played the
Normals the score would have been
around the hundred mark.

JUNIOR BAND conc
Every Citizen Should Aid - Oraani
aton-6uy Ticket g 'ncert

Tomorrow evening 5 ridayl De-
cember 9th. the Broo = Junior Band
will give the first of tneir winter con-
certs in the opera house. In giving
these concerts the boys have two OBJ
jects in veiw, first, to put forth their
best efforts in preparing a program
that will please the people, and sec
ond to obtain the means to partially
pay off a debt which hangs over their
heads for two new instruments re-
Gently purchased. The band has had
considerable experience in the past
year and certainly have passed that
period when they were classed as the
Kid Band They have filled numer
Gus engagements in the county, sur
rounding towns, and in this city and
have never failed to give the best of
satisfaction.
Now this is home enterprise and
we believe, one worth pushing, but it
certainly cannot become a brilliant
success if the citizens do not show
their appreciation of the work. In
band work, the one idea that is i'm
pressed upon the members, is to do
their utmost in their work so as to
be able to please the people when
they appear in public. But unless the
band receives the support and cooper
alton of the citizens it is but matter
of time until the members lose inter
est and finally the band itself goes
under. When, after working hard at
rehearsals for several months the boys
see that people do not care anything
about their work they are bound to
give up. And why not? The band
is for the public; it was for the people
the band was organized. 1t is a public
institution and one that deserves sup
port
1t is up to the people of the city
whether the boys go in the hole to-
out on top with good handsome sum
to pay towards their instruments. 1t
certainly looks as though it were go
ing to be good and it is, SO come and
push the good thing along. Please
don't forget. 1t is tomorrow evening,
Friday the 9Th.

18TH ANNIVERSARY
The Ladies Aid Society of First Presbyterian Church Will

Mrs. Horace FiShbdCk

"We'er growing old together is re-

Methodist church society was the pio-
neer religious denomonGtion OF Brook

going people. regardless of creed, to
make respectable congregation
twenty-five years ago.
AS soon however, as the Baptists
had gained enough strength in mem
bers they sought shelter in a house of
worship of their own. Then followed
the Presbyterians and it was with
heartiness that the people of all de
nominations and those possessing no
creed lent a helping hand to build the
modest frame structure where those
Of the Presbyterian faith might wor-

and several years ago the old strnc-

beautiful brick church edifice.
We we'll remember what rejoicing
there was when a collection was taken
up about town with which to purchase
the first church bell in the city to be
placed in the Presbyterian church bel

nouncement based upon the record
has been given to the public, putting

to threadbare attempts to divert atten-

SHALL WE HAVE A LIBRARY
A Way Opened Up to Secure a Fine
Public Building

For some time the Ethical Culture
club of this city has been planning to
secure a Carnegie library for Brook
mgs, and recently wrote Mr. Carnegie
asking the conditions under which he
would donate an institution of this
kind. The great library builder re-
piled that the conditions would be the
same as imposed upon towns which
have the libraries, namely. that the
city furnish the building site and levy
yearly tax of ten per cent of the
cost OF the library for its maintenance.
Rev. Hugh Robinson and Prof. w. II.
Powers, of the club, presented the
matter to the city council at its meet
ing Monday evening. with the request
that the matter be placed in the hands
of Mayor Mathews. The city council
took no action, but it will be brought
up at the next meeting Monday even
ing. 1t is very likely that the city
council will refuse to bind the city in
the matter until the matter has been
put TO vote of the citizens or a favor
able petition signed by a majority OF
the voters has been presented.
Bookings has long needed public
library, and we believe that no better
chance will ever be offered to secure
one than the plan now under consider
alton. Sioux Falls, Watertown, Madi
son, Huron and other towns of tn,
state have Carnegie libraries, why MOI

Governor Elrod rode on passes and
did not have a similar expense for
railway fare.
So, for the same period Governor
Crawford's expense is $73S.15 less than
Herreid's and $o3SS4 less than Elrods S,
while neither Elrod nor Herreid paid
railroad fare. The appropriation for
the governors expenses provides for
hotel bills and travelling expenses.
1t is we'll known that during the
present year it has been very difficult,
if not impossible, to rent a suitable
house in Pierre for the governor and
family. Unless he should take his wife
and five children to hotel and board
or buy a home, he would be compelled
to live in cramped and inconvenient
quarters, subject to right of possession
in case of sale. This is because of the
fact that Pierre is, and all summer has
been. over-crowded with people.
The state does not provide house
at the capital for the governor to live
in. Governor Crawford, on account of
these conditions has kept his family
at the home in Huron. The question
of whether or not his expense at the
hotel incurred while there exclusively
on state business, is not properly al
lowable out of the appropriation for
his office, was referred to the attorney
general upon the personal request of
the governor himself. Some time ago
the attorney general orally advised
the state auditor that the charge was
legal one against the appropriation
as made. The whole amount is about
$40.
If the old machine is anxious to
compare the governors expense ac-
count with that of his predecessors
more in detail. we promise the public
Hat the governor will not be the one
(who will suffer by the comparison.

JEROMES NEW TURN
IN THE THAW TRIAL
HE SAYS HE is GOING TO OVER
THROW THE INSANITY PLEA
SET UP BY DEFENSE.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
New York, March l1.-Frederick w.
Longfellow, former counsel for Harry
X Thaw, was the first witness called
by District Attorney jerome in the
Thaw case this morning.
Jerome revealed his intention to
overthrow Thaw's insanity defense at
the very beginning of the examination
OF Attorney Longfellow.
Nine letters were introduced written
| by Thaw to Longfellow AS LOngfel-
low did not remember what time in
the afternoon the ship locked when
Evelyn Thaw returned in October,
1903. He admitted he met Evelyn on
the dock. This was the time he stated
he tried TO show Evelyn tried to com
municate with Geo. Lederer before
she went to hotel.
Questioned about the Ethel Thomas
suit against Thaw, alleging Thaw
whipped her, Delmas objected. Je-
rome said he proposed to show that
the tales Evelyn told Thaw of other
girls being ruined by White did not
upset Thaw's mind, because he had
heard of Whites action before Evelyn
told him. jerome said he would show
i AlldA - nav HtGulGu lib lulDl llldAlbLA
from the lawsuits. Jerome argued for
half an hour that Evelyn's story to
Thaw could not have caused the
'brain-storm" which led to Whites
death.
Longfellow was excused and DR..
Leblanc, the coroner's physician who
performed the autopsy on White, was
called.
! Jerome I'm an argument today de-
clared he proposed to show the Hum
nell affidavit, in which Evelyn alleged
she was abused by Thaw, has not been
destroyed. as Evelyn minated, but
! that II was taken by her TO Attorney
| Longfellow.
Officer Wright, who arrested Thaw,
testified. He said he considered Thaw
insane when he saw him just after
the shooting.
Sergeant Mccarthy testified that
Thaw appeared rational when he was
being examined.
