tor, completed his contract for the
city this week and special meeting
of the city council was held yesterday
afternoon to settle up with him. Mr..
Haggart has been at work little
over year, and while he has been
bothered quite little by bad weather
and other conditions, the contract has
been completed within the time speci-
fled and so far as we have been able
to learn the work is satisfactory.
The completion of the work gives
Brookings one of the best sewer sys.
TENS in the Northwest, and something
that the city has needed for long
period of years. A large number of
period of years. A large number of citi.
zens have already connected their resi-
dences with the sytsem and others
will do so as fast as the work can
be done.
The big ditching machine has been
loadel on a fiat car and will be shipped

TWO YEARS FOR ALLOTMENT.

John d. Deitz, who is the alloting
agent of the Cheyenne river and Stand
ing Rock Indian reservations west of
the Missouri, states that the work of
allotment will take two years for the
whole of the reservation. But the
work this year is all being devoted to
that portion of the reservation which
is covered in the territory to be open
ed to settlement, and that part of the
work will be finished some time in
May of next year, in ample time for
the opening in October, which is de-
sired. The government geological sur
veyors will work with the alloting
crews as soon as they reach that por-
tion of the reservation which the In
dians claim are coal lands, and their
work will not delay the opening, as
they will be through practically as
soon as the allotment work is finished.
Mr.. Deitz says there is no question in
regard to getting the tract in readi-
ness for the opening in October, 1909,
but the allotments ON the rest of the
reserve will take at least another year

DAY IN JAIL AGAIN.

John Day, who elOped from here
last spring with the daughter of Chas.
Sample, arrived from Omaha Thurs
day evening and spent Friday in the
city, going from here to his former
home in Mellette Friday evening.
While he he made an effort to locate
his wife, who returned to her parents
soon after the elopement, but she was
out of the city, being at West Super
ior Wis.,, with her mother. Mr.. Sam
pie returned here the first of the week
and when he heard of Days presence
in the state he caused his arrest at
Mellette, where he is now in Jail, and
it is thought that the authorities at
Pipestone, where the marriage occur
red will prosecute him for perjury.
1t is claimed that Day swore that the
girl was of legal age in taking out
the license, wticn of course Is suffi-
cient grounds for criminal action.
Day stated to a Register representa-
tive that he had been at Omaha since
the elopement, the couple having been
overtaken at that point by the girls
father. He complained somewhat bit
terly of the way the newspapers had
treated the matter and said that the
last straw was when an Aberdeen
journal had stated that he was Sc
years old Day said that notices of
his elopement had appeared in news
papers even as far away as New Or
leans.

PRESBYTERIAN PICNIC.

The Presbytf rians held their annual
picnic at Oakwood Lakes Tuesday.
There were about 25O present and
everyone reports delightful time, al
though the weather was not all that
could be desired. Most of the picnic
ers went to Bruce on the early morn
ing train, where rigs where in readi-
ness to convey them to the lakes, but
number drove up from here. Din.
ner and supper were served at the
lake, the kitchen being in the ruins
of the old mill. The steam launch,
sail boat and row boats were placed at
the disposal of the picnicers and all
enjoyed a ride on the lake. In the

A FINE CROP.

General Agent A. c. Johnson of
Winona, passed through here Thurs
day on his way home from a trip
over the North Westerns lines in this
state, his trip being to ascertain the
harvest conditions. He stated that
the crop in every part of the state
was an excellent one, one Of the best
in fact for years, and Mr.. Johnson
knows, as he is one of the best crop
experts in the country.
Mr.. Johnson said: South Dakota
has this year produced the largest
small grain crop in her history. Not
withstanding all reports about the
damage to the small grains by the
black rust this statement will be born
out by the threshing machines, now
doing business in the fields. The corn
crop promises to be large one and it
is at least two weeks ahead of the
average crop, and If frost holds OF
until the 10th of September the corn
yield will be record breaker as WELL"

A POOR SYSTEM.

We are informed that fifteen or
twenty Brookings young ladies will
attend eastern schools of learning the
coming year. A number of them are
eeking advanced work others will take
music, but several of them will pursue
practically the same studies they
could get at the State college here.
AS general proposition the plan of
sending boys and girls to eastern
schools for the same work they could
get at home is poor one, and we see
no good and sufficient reason why it
should be. This applies not only to
Brookings but to every community in
the state. Annually hundreds of
South Dakota young people go to out
side colleges when they could to a
greater advantage attend Brookings,
Vermillion or other home institutions.

FROM IDAHO.

]. w. Kelley who went from here to
Idaho couple of months ago, is now
located at Boise, and he writes as
follows of that city and country:
Some people say that Boise has
10000 people, but I think that 10000
would cover it nicely. 1t is situated
in the Boise Valley, which I am told
is the richest in Idaho, but each Sec
tion of the state will make the same
claim for their respective valleys. The
principal products are fruits, vege-
tables and alfalfa. Peach, plums,
prunes, apricots, etc., are what they
are long on in fruit. 1 had the new
experience today of picking some,
large, luscious peaches from a tree
in the yard where 1 am rooming.
"In the mountains near here the
atives are in the sheep business exten.
sively, also numbering and mining.
Last Saturday I went with a party
20 miles into the mountains. There
are some great sights up there and it
is certainly nice, cool place to spend
the day. Those who can afford it
spend from two weeks to a month in
the mountains at this season of the
year to get away from the excessive
heat. The city proper is a mighty
pretty place, with clean, wide streets
and stately shade trees and the bust
ness section is hummer.
Lee Austin is here and has a good
position in the shoe department of the
largest store in town. John BRANDED,
the tailor, is here and has a nice shop
and is doing fine business. / think
there are number of other Brook
ings people here, but I haven't met
them as yet.
"Now as to the climate, the only
thing have discovered is that 1t is
hotter than hades here and has been
ever since came and the chances are
good that it is going to remain so dur.
ingf August at least. The evenings
are always COOL"

IS. D. TOWNS
ARE BURNED
Lowry and Alaska on the M.
& St. L. Partly Destroyed
BLAME IS LAID ON HORSE THIEVES
Who Are Supposed to Have
Done 1t for Revenge

Revenge for the arrest of several sus-
pected horse thieves is believed to be
the cause of raid upon the towns of
Lowry and Alaska by nightriders at an
early hour Monday morning. Both
towns narrowly escaped being wiped
out by fire set by the raiders.
All the buildings are frame struc-
lures and furnished good fuel for the
flames. Both towns are in Walworth
county, on the river extension of the
Minneapolis and ST. Louis railroad, and
are only few miles apart.
Lowry was the first town raided.
Herman's general store was fired and
the flames spread rapidly to adjoining
buildings. Seven masked men were
seen riding away, but no attempt was
made to follow, for the town was in
danger of being destroyed.
While the citizens were fighting the
fire telephone message was received
from Alaska asking for aid, and stat.
/
raiders. Similar messages were re-
ceived at Haven and other nearby
towns.
Six buildings were destroyed in each
town, including the Farmers State
Bank at Lowry.
/ The hotel at Alaska is one of the
burned buildings. No robberies have
been reported, and the loss can only
be estimated at this time. 1t will
reach 100000, fully covered by insur-
ance.
The raid is believed to- have been
inspired by the recent activity of the
authorities of the two town against sus-
pected horse thieves. The sheriff of
Walworth county is investigating.
Citizens who reached the scene
shortly after the fire started declare
they saw several men hastily mount
their horses and ride away in the dark.
ness. ',
A clue to the indentity of the des-
peradoes who started the fires has
been found, and it is reported that
the authorities expect to make an ar
rest before many hours. The person
under suspicion is said to be former
resident of Alaska.
All nearby towns are prepared
against another raid, and the authori.
ties of neighboring counties are keep
ing watch for suspicious characters.
The six buildings destroyed at Alaska
were a meat market, saloon, millinery
store, hardware store, pool hall and a
vacant store. All losses are fully COW
cred by insurance.

IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE.

The management of the North
Western is keenly alive to the interests
of South Dakota; it has always tried
to keep little ahead of the develop
ment of the state and gives the travel
Ing public better service than any
other railroad in the state. The Hur-
onite learns that the management con-
templates making important changes
during the present month in the pas
senger service on the Dakota Central
anl Minnesota divisions. AS near as
we can learn the proposed changes
include continuous Pullman service
on trains 502 and SOB to Rapid City,
with an additional Pullman car be-
tween Rochester and Chicago
On trains No. SOL and 5O4, daily
service between Mankato and Elroy,
with parlor car service between Roch-
ester and Elroy and an additional
Pullman sleeper between Rochester
and Huron and the extension of the
Twin City sleeper between Huron and
Pierre.
An additional night train between
Sioux City and Huron with Pullman to
connect with 502 east and sol west
and 81 north with sleeper from Oma-
ha to Huron and the elimination Of
the train now running between Ha.
warden and Salem and the extension
Of 102 and 1913 between Hawarden
and Yankton.
Trains 50 and SO, now running be-
tween Watertown and Redfield to be
extended to Brookings to- connect with
SOP and 500 at Sioux Valley Junction
and 502 and 503 at Watertown.
The elimination of trains and 9
between Brookings and Watertown
and the extension of these trains be.
tween Watertown and Tracy with
sleeping car service from Redfield.
1t is also expected that the night
train service between Omaha, Sioux
City, Huron and Aberdeen carry the
sleeper between Sioux City and Aber-
deem instead of Omaha and Sioux
City and that trains 25 and 16, now
terminating at Aberdeen and trains
81 and "a be extended from Aberdeen
to Oakes to connect with the Northern
Pacific.
If these contemplated changes are
put into effect there will be establish
ed on the Dakota and Minnesota divi-
sion of the Northwestern, train SER
vice equal to any in the country
