CHAFlN SPEAKS HERE.

Eugene w. Chain of Chicago, can
date of the prohibition party for presi-
dent of the United States, spoke in the
opera house last Thursday evening.
Mr.. Chafin was greeted by a fine
house, every available seat being filed
and his talk was along the lines of
good citizenship, in which he had the
hearty approval of his hearers. He
has the reputation of being one of the
best speakers in the country, and in
his address here made many friends
for his cause. He presents the pro-
hibition side of the question in a light
that should cause serious thought by
every good citizen, and we believe IL
the party had a few more speak
ers of his ability it would only be a
question of majority.
Two years ago Mr.. Chafin closed
the campaign here by a speech in the
opera house, at which time he urged
the voters of the county to place the
name Of Brookings indelibly on the
map by electing prohibition state
senator. Thursday evening he good
naturedly referred to this and stated
that the chance was still oper to

Charles F. Allen has leased the
Brookings County Press to Robert E.

the paper as foreman for the past
six years.
Mr.. Allen will seek newer and green

Kittredge and the postoff1ce at one
fell swoop he concluded to initiate the
Arabs of old, and fold up his little

disposing of his holdings ever since the
primaries. Though the Press says the
lease to Mr.. Phelps Is only for six
months none believe that Allen will
ever again be permanent resident
here.
Mr.. Phelps is young man OF more
than ordinary ability, as honest and
honorable as the day Is long and we
are glad to- welcome him into his
higher and well earned position.

HARRY DAWSON WINS OUT.

Congressman Philo Hall has secured
the appointment of H. T. Dawson as
doorkeeper for the House of Repres

the first of January to- hobnob with
congressman and senator's at the
nations capitol. Mr.. Dawson has well
earned the honor, having been long,
faithful and willing worker in the
republican party, and we predict he
will more than make good in his new
position.
This appointment further emphasizes
the fact that Congressman Hall is
something of Davy Crockett in his
congressional work; anything he goes
after just naturally has to come down.

The Brookings high school football
team scored its second victory OF the
season by defeating Huron high school

from the 25-yard line in the first half
Huron was unable to gain consistently
and played almost altogether on the
defensive. The home team was with.
out the services of two or three OF
their best men, but the substitutes per-
formed almost as well. The team
showed to a better advantage than in
the Madison game, the week OF prac-
tice evidently doing them lot OF
good. We believe that Coach Leland
has the best team in the state and II
the boys give him their best efforts
during the remainder of the season.
as they have done in the past few
weeks, there is no reason why Brook.
ings cannot win the championship OF
the state.
To open the game Huron kicked
off to Brookings and the ball was car

was unable to gain and the ball went
to Huron in the middle of the field.
The visitors failed to make much
headway and the ball went to Brook.

short end runs the ball was carried

Lockhart broke through and lodging

the first touchdown. Brookings failed
at goal. On the next kickoff Brook
ings carried the ball down to the visit
ors' 1O-yard line, where Lockhart at.
tempted a goal from the field, but the
ball went into the line and Huron fell
on il. Huron lost it on downs, and
Lockhart kicked pretty goal from
the 25-yard line, bringing the Brook
ings score up to 9. Huron kicked on
to Brookings who advanced the ball
to the middle of the field, but lost 1T on
downs. They regained few minutes
later when Huron fumbled and carried

Chappell kicked goal. The score at
the end of the first half was: Brook

The second half was more even and
harder fought than the first period OF
play, but Brookings was always IN COM

half. and Brookings carried the ball
to the visitors 40-yard line, where II

The other attractions which consist
ed of dog and pony shows, trapeze per-
formances, were good. and thoroughly
enjoyed.
Thursday was the banner day and
in spite of the high wind and disagree
able weather, it is estimated that there
were $500 people on the grounds.
There were 229 exhibitors this year
as compared with 1873 last year.
A fine new stock pavilion containing
164 stalls was built this year and every
stall was occupied and more room was
called for.
The exhibits were fine in every
case, and the west side people got
their share of the premiums.
Owing to rush of job work the
editor of the Tribune was unable to
attend the county fair last week, but
Mrs. Horton spent Tuesday and
Thursday at the fair and has written
an account of the same for the paper.
The writer has talked with a number
'Of farmers and others who attended
the fair and all seem to be very much
pleased with the exposition and the
courteous treatment of the manage
ment. The only complaint that we
have heard was that the feed stables
took advantage Of the crowds and
boosted rates the same as they did
when market days were held. OF
course the fair association is in no
wise responsible for the action of the
feed stable men, and it Is probable
that in another year the management
will provide other means of taking
care of farmers teams.
White Leader: The fair at Brook
ings this week is big show and at
tracted large crowds each day to see
the sights Ideal weather prevailed
throughout the week, the exhibits were
fine, the live stock show great. and
the races, sports and other attractions
unexcelled by even the state fair.
Next week we shall try to give a
more extended write-up of the affair
that, though only in it's second year,
is far better than many fairs that have
been held for years.

BLAMEo SCHOOLS
Inspector Wood Says They Should
Hold Country Boys.

State Rural School Inspector L. W.
Wood suggests the organization of
literary centers in the different coun-
try communities i'm the state. There
ARE hundreds of young men in such
communities, who should be in school
but are unable to leave the locality
because of the Numerous farm chores
which demand their presence even in
the winter time. A country high
school to meet this condition is sug-
gested. Such school might become
literary center for the entire COM
munity. AS a desirable adjunct is
suggested literary society for Fri
day evening debating and other public
speaking. Formerly the district
school did this work but it now seems
20 have lost it's attractiveness in this
direction.
Massachusetts is generally known
as the mother of the district school
system. And in the old bay state
also originated the consolidated school
sys5em. The latter was conceived in
sn attempt to meet the condition
which followed the heavy immigra-
taon from New England in the sixties.
Consolidation has become an old
story, vet it has enthusiastic advo
eates and refuses to be downed. At
present fully two thirds of the town
ships of Massachusetts are CONSOLIDATE
I'D, either in their entirety Or in part.
Consolidation is the combination of
two Or more school districts to form
one district. Usually the schools so
combined are one department ungrad-
ed schools, and the school, resulting
from consolidation, is usually grad
cd school of two Or more departments.
With respect to the merits of con-
soidation there is much difference of
opinion. One class of persons con-
tend that if any substantial improve
ment i'm the rural school is to come it
must come thru consolidation, that all
other plans are simply palliative in
their nature, and therefore are of little
sccount. A second class contends
that solidation is not worthy of
consideration: that it is too radical
and that the best way to solve the
rural school problem is to improve
the schools we have.
Prof. L. Wood, Inspector of rural
schools of Wisconsin, is one of the
advocates of the system. He advocates
it as it gives better chance for divi-
aion of labor among the teachers of
s ger school, each one being able
60 devote her time to the study of but
enc Or two branches. In the old fash
toned district schools she must teach
every subject on the school program.
Again, in MANY of the rural schools,
She number of pupils is so small that
there are often classes of but one or
two pupils. There is no chance for
rivalry Or competition among the pup
iss and they fail to acquire that zest
which arises from larger classes.
Mr. Wood also considers that the
lacksof the country school is one of
the causes tending to educate the
country boy and girl away from the
country and toward the city. "The |
problem of keeping the farmers boy
ora the farm will not be met until the !
country school system meets his
moods as fully as the city school meets |
the needs of the city boy".

Who Do As They Advertise
WORSE THAN WAR.

War brings upon the world many
evils. and the support of armies and
navies is grievous burden of the
people: but. so far as the destruction
OF life or the wounding and disab
ling of American citizens is con-
rerned. war is not to he compared
with our railway service for its de-
structiye effects.
More people have been killed and
wounded in the United States in the
last twenty years by our public SER
vice corporations than have been
killed and wounded in all the wars
of the world in the same time. Our
average annual slaughter is almost
equal to the average of the death
rate during the four years of the
Civil war.
Because the injuries are widely
scattered in time and place, and new
er fully reported at the time of the
happenings. we have become strange
ly insensible to this steady sacrifice
of human safety and life. II all the
victims were killed at one time and
in one place, humanity would be
shocked even worse than it was dur
ing the Boer war.-Christian Regis

Another Hunting Party Lost.

Considerable worry is being caused
by the long absence of hunting
party which left town two weeks ago
and of which no word has been re-
ceived since.
1t is almost useless to organize a
relief party to go in search of the
missing hunters, as their location is
very indefinite. II is known that
they are northwest of Fruita some
where, but the exact vicinity is not
known.
One member of the party is over
so years of age. and therefore more
concern is felt on his account.
The missing men are Messrs. Lam
bert. Roster and Jones, and il is be-
lieved that they are on Douglass
creek
