Prof. B. T. Whitehead was called to
Muscatine, Iowa Friday morning by
the death of an aunt.
When the Panama Canal was first
projected by the French, it was in
tended to construct sea level canal.
This was not practicable and was
proven after years OF labor and the
expenditure of millions of money and
finally by the failure OF the French
Company. When the United States
came into the possession OF the pro-
perty through purchase, American
engineers with their more modern
met hods at once decided in favor OF
the locks-and the work at present is
being pushed towards completion with
all the energy that characterizes every
great American undertaking. The
new melodrama panama" tale OF
the great canal, gives one a correct
idea Of the present conditions existing
in the canal zone. The very life and
atmosphere Of that locality is brought
into play that is intensely interest
ing from every point Of view. "Pan-
anna" will be seen here at Grand
Opera House, Oct. %.
In crediting up the winners OF prem
iums at the county fair number Of
mistakes were made by the judges of
the different departments. This is, OF
course, only natural and the errors
were promptly rectified and the parties
who were entitled to the premiums re-
ceived the money. One of the mis-
takes that has come to our notice is
the award on yellow dent corn. In last
weeks REGISTER this was credited to
w. K. Reeves, of Volga, when it was
won by G. n. Kennard Of this city.
Mr.. Kennard has by far the best field
OF corn of that variety in this section,
and it is only proper that he should
receive the credit.

OUR EXCHANGE TABLE


A warning in reference to AN alleged
endless chain fraud which is being
worked all over the state by alleged
swindlers has been issued to the
Masonic bodies Of South Dakota by
George 4. Pettigrew OF Sioux Falls.
Grand Secretary Pettigrew says:
members and officials OF the Masonic
fraternity in San Francisco and other
large cities have just unearthed one
of the boldest frauds which ever
masqueraded under the name of a
fraternal ord9r. Swindlers have been
gaining large sums of n oney by the
use of chain letters asking 10 cents
from each Mason for the purpose of
building a monument to President
William Mckinley. The swindlers
intercepted the letters sent containing
money.
The stalwart press is making a very
great deal OF talk about prospective
increase OF state taxes next year. The
combined state tax will be four and
one-fourth mills and the Brookings
REGISTER analyses it as follows: To
pay running expenses mills; to pay
stalwart debts 2 mills; for installing
Irvine plant II mills. The REGISTER
is essentially correct. The last stall
wart legislature properly submitted to
the people the question of levying a
special tax for the installing OF a
twine plant, and the people over
whelmingly voted to do SO. They
said they wanted the plant and are
willing to pay for it. The two mill
deficiency tax is to pay deficiencies
created by former administrations
when the stalwarts were in power.
Under the circumstances there is not
much stalwart political capital in the
! situation. In crying high taxes they
are simply knocking their own record.
