Contestants are required to make a
list of different cities having a popu-
Iation of 5000 or over Census of
1900 and counties (either or both)

United States, not including Alaska or
our insular possessions, using for let
tiers to make names of the counties and
cities any of the letters in the read

bordered square in the center.

square find an IS and cross it out;
then an "a and cross it out; then an
q" and cross it out; then an "e' and
cross it out, and then an m and cross
it out. This uses up five of the letters
in the square, and you cannot use these
letters again. Now take another city
or county and proceed as before. AS
soon as a letter is used in the square,
cross it out carefully, as you cannot
use this same letter again. Continue
this until you have made as many
counties and cities as you can.
Counties and cities of the same name
can be used but once.
Do not use authorizations. Spell out
all words used.
Contestants are not allowed to send

COMMISSIONERS MEETING.

The county commissioners adjourned
on Friday, after being in session four
days, to meet again October 2S, the
extra session being necessary to clean
up the unfinished business left over
from this meeting.
AT this meeting the commissioners
made new departure in handling the
finances of the county by placing the
county funds in banks outside the
county. For years it has been the
custom to deposit the county funds
with the county banks, for which no
rate of interest was received and the
board recently called for bids. Pro-
osals were received from seven banks,
none of them within the county, and
the board selected the following as the
county repositories: First National
bank, Pierre, $4,000 at per cent in
terest; Granite City bank Dell Rapids,
$4,000 at per cent; Stock Growers
bank, Fort Pierre. $4,000 at 31s per
cent; First State bank of Philip, $4,000
at 31s per cent.
The anks are to furnish the county
with good and sufficient bond as re-
quired by law. All of the funds are
subject to the check of the county
treasurer, countersigned by the county
auditor.
A petition was received from the peo-
pie of Aurora township asking the
board to build a new bridge on section
line between Sections 5 and 8, but
the commissioners decided to appro-
pirate 500 to buy land around the
creek and it will be unnecessary TO
construct the bridge. The board al
lowed Medary township nineteen 10
foot plank to re-plank the river bridge.
The claim of the Register Publish
ing company for printing abstract and
brief in the case Of County VS.. p. j..
Murphy was laid over The reason
of the boards action in this case is
not apparent. States Attorney Eidem
had the authority of Judge Marquis
to carry the case to the supreme court,
the court ordered the abstract and
brief printed and the court will order 1t
paid for.
The board opened bids for new
safe for the treasurer's office and for
new steel and padded cells for the
county jail The bids on the safe
tered into with the Pauly Jail Co., for
cells to the amount of $2,07566.
An order was issued to the Brook
ings County Fair association for $4,000
the amount appropriated by the county
toward the building of the new sale
pavilion.
The board appointed judges of cleo
ton for the different precincts, and a
list of these together with a full re-
port Of the proceedings will be found

G. F. kNAPPEN HONOREp.

Quite number Of friends and neigh
bcrs OF G. +. Knappen, prohibition
candidate for governor. rendered him
an informal reception in Military hall
Monday evening. Owing to a hitch
in the delivery of the invitations the
number present was not as large as
had been expected. but those present
made up in enthusiasm what they
lacked in number and the affair was a
happy one.
Qrincy Lee Morrow was master of
ceremonies, making few felicitous
and optimistic remarks in introducing
Mr.. Knappen, who dscoursed at some
length on what he and his party stood
for. While Mr.. Knappeh lay no claim
to being an orator, the sincerity of pur-
pose and the force put into them made
his remarks both timely and interest
ing.
The only business transacted was the
election of w. A. Caldwell as commit
teeman from the Second ward to take
the place of the late A. G.. Young.
The ladies furnished ice cream and
cake, adding not little to what was
a most pleasant evening.
1t certainly speaks volumes for O
cause when busy man like Mr. Knap
pen will give freely of his time and
money in it's furtherance, with abso
lutely no hope of reward save the
knowledge that he has aided and alb
betted the right, as it was given him
to- see and know the right.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Knapper
will be given a large complimentary
vote by his townsmen.

CITY BUSINESS.

The city council at it's regular ses-
sion last week cleaned up an impor-
tant batch of city business.
The council completed the final set
tlement with G. w. Haggart. the sewer
contractor, accepting the septic tank
and outlet, after receiving the report
of the city engineer. A warrant was
drawn in favor of Mr.. Haggart for
$9S2.45 for balance on tank and out
let, but a counter claim was placed
against him Tor $400 for water, street
work and hose. A warrant was also
drawn in favor of Mr.. Haggart for
$694.5O for the balance on Sewer Dis
trict No /.
The citizens of the south side pre-
sented petition praying the council
to place the walk under the North
Western in a passable condition. This
was referred to Alderman Swering for
settlement, but since the railroad COM
pany has shipped in brick and the
walk and road will be placed In a prop
er condition.
The chairman of the telephone COM
mittee recommended that an elderly
lady be placed in charge of the opera
tors at the central office, which was
duOplcu anu MTS. Eu House given
the position. This will no doubt in
crease the efficiency of the force, but
we have heard no complaints from this
source and have always found the op-
orators courteous and obliging. The
salary of Ward Waltz, the superinten-
dent. was raised from $50 to- $65.
Frank Sherwin appeared before the
council and asked that he be granted
the privilege OF extending the sewer
on Second street, also that the city
put in water mains. The matter was
referred to the proper committee.
The school board requested that the
city furnish steam for power to run
their engine to furnish current for the
fans, and the superin tendent of the
light plant was ordered to install a
motor of sufficient power to run the
fans.
The application of Chas Horn for
bowling alley license was referred to
the license committee.

HON. PHILO HALL RECOVERING

Hon. Philo Hall has so far recovered
as to be able to- be down stairs, and
1t will be but few days now until
he will be at his Office. 1t is not gen.
orally known that the limb was brok-
en- in two places, instead of one. and
his rapid recovery with absolutely no
indication of lameness or disfiguration
is not only remarkable but source
of much qualification to his many
friends throughout the state. He will
go to Washington few days before
the opening Of the session I'm order to
line up some important matters which
he started in the interests of his state
and which he hopes to have passed
before his term expires. Immediately
thereafter he will turn his whole at
tention to his Law business and the
securing of competence. His strict
attention to public duties has necessi.
tated his refusing much profitable law
business and has been distinct loss
to him in financial way, and he
has reached an age now where he feels
that he should be permitted to give
his time and attention to his private
affairs.

BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION
Is Formed by Stock Growers
OF BrOOkings County
Who WILL HOLD SALE IN NOVEMBER
Move Means Much to Stock
Interests In This Section

Several breeders of pure bred live
stock of Brookings county, s. d., met
at the county seat Saturday October
10, and organized a County Breeders
Association. The object of this asso.
citation is to further the interests of
pure bred live stock in the county.
This organization will not only tend
to increase the quality of the pure
bred stock, but the quality of the
common stock will be improved as
well. There are comparatively few
breeders of pure bred live stock I'm
Brookings county, yet the profits de-
rived from a farm where a pure. bred
herd OF horses, cattle or swine or a
Hook of pure bred sheep Is kept. is
much greater than from farm where
grain farming is practiced continually.
Market your grain at home by feeding
1t to herd and flock headers your
neighbors must have and for which
they are willing to pay a good price.
This restores and improves the fertil-
ity OF your farms but by continually
cropping and selling the grain and
forage your farm becomes poorer an
nually.
Now, this association will more than
improve the quality of the live stock
in the county, 1t will bring together fri
its meetings the large and the small
breeder. They will all become ac-
quainted. They will hold a combina.
ton sale now and then in the new
county sale pavilion on the county
fair grounds, to show the people the
quality OF stock they are breeding.
1t will increase the exhibits at the
county fair and in few years Brook
ings county will be known far and
wide for the quality of fine stock she
is producing.
The following Is the list of officers
elected for the coming year: Presi-
dent, E. l.. Squirting, Brookings; vice.
president, Geo. Kennard. Brookings:

REPUBLICAN RALLY.

Senator Robert J. Gamble Of Yank-

evening upon the issues of the cam
paign. The senator devoted con-
siderable part of his time to state is

tacks and showing the fallacy of their
arguments. Due to the many counter
attractions and the apparent lack OF
interest In politics by the voters. only
a fair sized crowd was present. Sena-
tor Gamble left Tuesday morning for

A SAD ACCIDENT.

Clement Lindskog, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lindskog of Oakwood town
ship, fell from train near Wolsey
Monday evening and sustained injuries
which resulted in his death the fol-
lowing morning. The young man was
on his way home from Dallas, where
together with his two sisters, he had
been to register for land. When the
train was running between Wolsey
and Huron he went out on the platform
with number of others, the train be.
ing crowded, and it is not known
whether he lost his balance and fell
or whether he was standing on the
lower step and was struck by some
thing along the track. When he was
missed the train was stopped and
backed up about two miles, where he
was found beside the track. He was
injured about the chest and both hips
and an arm and shoulder were brok
en-. He was carried to Huron, where
he received every attention, and a
special train was sent to VC!ga Cor his
parents. He died the following morn
ing at eight o'clock.
The young man was twenty-five
years old, bright and of good morals
and a particularly sad feature is the
fact that he was the only son. He
was nephew of John Youngburg
and well known here as he was a stu
dent at the State college for two OF
three years. He is survived by hts
parents and two sisters, one of whom
is student at the college. The funer
al will be held from the home this
afternoon. The family will receive
the sincere sympathy of their friends
and neighbOrs in their affliction

Next Saturday the second game OF
the season will be played. Madison
is reported to- hive a much stronger
team than usual and by the result OF
their game Saturday with Huron col
lege it is apparent that the college

run up the score to any extent. This
game will be well worth seeing, the
second half especially being close be-
cause if the result of the first half
shows it to be safe, number OF Sec
