A FINE SHOWING.

The semi-annual report of City Au-
ditor Geo. H. Stoddart, which will be
found in another part of the paper,
is something that should be read by
figures just what has been done with
the city money during the past six
months and that is something of in
terest to every citizen. The report is
an excellent one, showing the financial
affairs of the city have been handled
in good shape and With a good profit
in all the departments.
The electric light and heating de-
partment shows a profit of $1,370.43
for the six m"nths. The receipts
amounted to $9,24S69, of which
S6,620.16 came from light and heat
furnished to private citizens. the bal
ance being for street lighting, light
and heat for the telephone plant, etc.
The expenses of this department
amounted to $7S7S.26 and $695.87 of
this was for interest paid OH bonds and
warrants.
The telephone department made
nearly as good showing as the light
plant and on a much smaller capital,
their profit for the six months being
$1,34O.O9. Their receipts were $4,S7O..
So and expenses $3,53O.26, of which
$3.50 was for interest on bonds.
The waterworks department shows
up well with balance to the good
of $765.76. The receipts were $3,657..
70 and expenses $2,S91.94, of which
$1,525.00 went to pay for interest on
the bonds.
The electric stock fund shows a
profit of $125. This stock is kept on
hand to be sold to electric light patrons
at but small advance over whole
sale price and the profit of course is
a small one.
In the city fund, out of which is
paid all Of the general expenses of
running the city government, the ex.
penses exceed the receipts by $797.52
The receipts for this department are
derived from taxation, licenses, fines,
poll taxes, etc.
The report shows the total assets
of the city to be $155,045.28, with a
balance over the liabilities of
$31 ,459.37.

JOHNSON-SANDERSON.

Tuesday morning at half past eight
o'clock at the home of Mr.. and Mrs
Wilbert Johnson, just east of the city,
was celebrated the marriage of their
daughter, Miss Mary and Everett G..
Sanderson. A small circle of relatives
and friends assembled to witness the
impressive ceremony, which was con-
Quoted by Rev. Hugh Robinson of the
Presbyterian church, and to partake
of the bountiful wedding breakfast
which followed.
The wedding presents were many
and beautiful, most of them being for
warded directly to the home of the
happy couple, testifying to the esteem
in which they are held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sanderson departed
on the morning train for their home
at Arapahoe, Colorado, where Mr.. San
derson has a valuable claim.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Sanderson are
graduates of the State college, and
by their varied attainments and excel
lent christian character they are we'll
prepared to enjoy life wherever it
may be their fortune to reside. Their
many friends wish them godspeed and
anticipate for them a prosperous and
happy future. S**

DEBS SkIPS A BET.

The socialist cause In Brookings re-
ceived serious setback Sunday morn
ing, blow from which it may never
fully recover. 1t had been extensively
advertised that Debs, presidential can
didate Of the party, would pass through
Brookings Sunday morning in his Red
Special and would make an address
here. This announcement was suffi-
cient to get a couple of hundred
citizens out of bed at six O'Clock and
after waiting two hours ire special
arrived. 1t stopped about thirty sec
onds, just long enough for long
whiskered gent to tell the crowd that
Debs was taking his morning siesta
and would not be able to- favor them
with even a smile. The crowd was
pretty sore and we heard one recent
convert to socialism say that he would
not vote for Debs on bet. The spec.
ial consisted of couple of passen-
ger coaches and we failed to notice
anything red about it except a few
rags of that color tied to the rear end
of the train.

ing states. During the past year
the average monthly cost per capita
has been about twenty-three dollars.
This is remarkably low when it is
considered that in all but two of the
institutions the inmates are clothed
and in all of the institutions they are
fed and cared for as well or better
than the average child is at home.
The boards report closes with the
following acknowledgment: "We wish
to extend our thanks to the several
executives of the state and the sever
al legislatures and the state officials
with whom We have had official rela-
tions during our terms. We also wish
to thank the officers and employees
of the several institutions for the uni
form kindness and courtesy we have
received at their hands. They have
been faithful to their trust, loyal to
the state and should receive a fair
share of credit for whatever good has
been accomplished. We especially
wish to thank the press of the state
without reference to- party or faction
for the generous treatment and un-
failing kindness we have received
from them"
The people of South Dakota may
well congratulate themselves for the
reason that there has been no hint
of corruption, of scandal, of cruelty,
or inhumanity in any of the pena, or
charitable institutions of this state,
while rumors of wrong doing have
been rife in more than one of our
neighboring states and for the further
reason that the penal and charitable
institutions are nowhere in better
condition than in South Dakota, nor
are the unfortun1tes, the detectives
and delinquents anywhere better cared
for than in this state.

COMMITTED TO ASYLUM,

Fred Mitchell, who was brought here
from Volga last week suffering from
a temporary attack of insanity, was
released after he had become perfectly
rational. He was given a ticket to
Minneapolis, where he stated that he
could get money from his friends to
take him to his home in Indianapolis
After reaching Minneapolis he had an
other attack and was brought before
the board of insanity, who committed
him to the asylum at Rochester. The
Minneapolis Tribune says:
Fred B. Mitchell, about 25 years
old, was taken to the Central police
station last night by Officer Buck who
found him wandering about the streets
and mumbling incoherently. The man
has spent the summer in the harvest
fields of the Northwest, but beyond
that nothing has been learned about
him. When given water he laps it
up like an animal, refusing to take
the cup in his hands,

CAUGHT SEEMING.

Sheriff Miles went to Lake Campbell
Saturday night to look for some peo-
pie who have been seining fish out
of the lake. He caught a couple of
fellows from Colman using net at the
south end, but they claimed immunity
from arrest as they had a permit
from the sheriff of Moody county to
seine for carp, buffalo and other de-
structive fish. In issuing these per-
mits the law states the work must be
done under the direction of game
warden or a sheriff or deputy. One
Of the men claimed to have a commits
sion as deputy sheriff from the Moody
county sheriff, but as 1t was not prop
erly signed Sheriff Miles was a little
suspicious and ordered the fishermen
to move alorg, which they did. The
south end Of the lake is in Moody
county and at the point where the
men were seining the officers of both
counties have jurisdiction.

TWO STRAWBERRY CROPS.

The strawberry plants at the col
lege experiment station are just now
bringing forth second crop of large,
luscious fruit and unless frost comes
within very few days the yield will
be fine one. This is something out
of the ordinary for South Dakota, but
then the possibilities of our soil and
climate are unlimited and we may in
the future expect to see a couple of
crops of almost every variety of fruit
The college also has on exhibition a
pear tree in blossom. OF course, on
account of the lateness of the season
it would be too much to expect big
pear crop, but a few should be ripe
by Thanksgiving.

NO DOUBT OF IT.

That the business men of Brookings
can undersell the catalogue houses was
amply demonstrated one day this
week. A citizen came into one of
the furniture stores and asked to see
dining table, at the same time re-
marking that neighbor had purchas-
ed what he thought was very good
table from a Chicago house for S13.10.
The furniture man showed him one
for $13, which he promptly purchased
He was well pleased with his bargain
and stated that the table was worth
S. more than the one his neighbor
had sent to Chicago for.

good.
