1T was the intention of the couple
to remain in Omaha where Day has
a brother, and where he intended en-
tering a telegraphers school He Sc
cured marriage license at Pipestone

eighteen years old, and suit could be
brought against him in that county

not be punished in some way, as a
man forty years old. as Day is. should
know better and have more principle
than to induce girl of fifteen to
leave good home and commit such
a fool-hardy act. We believe that the
girl is more to be sympathized with
than blamed but Day should feel the

One Of the projects talked of in
connection with the new electric line,
is the building of spur from Medary

those who want to go to the lake for

line of this kind would be profitable
to the company, as well as a source of
great pleasure and accommodation to
the people of Brookings and in fact
to everybody along the line. The

for family to spend the day. or even
a week. The construction of such a
line would mean the development Of
the lake into as fine a summer resort
as this state affords. and it is hoped
the company will See its way clear
to put in the line. At present the
main line of road is only two miles
from the lake and if the spur is not
built a transfer line should enjoy an
excellent business.

ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT
Alpha Male Quartet Please Good
Number of Friends

The Alpha male quartet, assisted
by Miss Estella MusSrave reader and
Miss Ruth Wescott, pianist, gave a
concert at the NJ. L. church Monday
evening. The program was a thor
oughly enjoyable one. and the quar-
tet fully sustained its reputation as
one of the best musical organizations
of the city. Prof. Haynes is surely to
be congratulated upon his work as
director, and we are glad to see that
the people of Brookings appreciate
his energy and the efforts of the quar-
tet by turning out in numbers at Mon
day evenings concert.
On Friday evening the quartet, ac-
companied by Misses Musgrave and
WeScott, went to Arlington, where
they gave a concert and Saturday
evening they appeared at Volga. being
greeted with good houses at both
places.

GETTING IN SHAPE
State College Track Team is Taking
Advantage of Fine Weather

The college track team has been
taking advantage of the fine weather

very fair shape or this time of year.
the most part with new men, but the
prospects are very good that it will
have creditable season. The first
meet comes with Morning Side col
lege of Sioux City the first part of
May, and it is expected that one or
two other colleges will be brought
here between that time and the state
meet, which Will be held the last week
in May.
The work of Coughlin and Hunti
mer, the stars Of the team. has been
very satisfactory this spring and they
are looked to win good share of
points for their college before the
first of June. Coughlin is strong in
the hurdles, 220 and 40, while Hunti
mer is as good as ever in the long
distances. Collar is training and is
in good condition. but it is not known
whether he will compete He is eiigi-
BILE for both the dual and state meets
but his work may prevent him from
taking part. ChilcOtt is training for the
pole vault, and he has a good under
study in Chappell. a new man. Alton
is expected to show in the hurdles,
and Frank Sperf will help out Hunti-
mer in the long races, Ed Koch and
Meharg are out for the sprints.
OF the new men Johnson, York and
Bolinger are showing up we'll in the
weights, a place that was expected
to be weak this year on account of
the loss of Reich and McCordic. From
the practice work of the three new
comers it is believed that the weight
department will be fully as strong as
the rest of the team. Lane and Albert
Koch, are doing good work in the
short distances and should improve
as the season advances. Bacon looks
to be a good man for the long-dis-
tances and will have plenty of OPP
portunity, as well as the other new
candidates, to show his ability.

raise the window. Goods were found
piled near the window, but the thieves
were evidently frightened away be-
fore they could get these out of the
building. Burned matches were scat
tered all over the store, showing that
a thorough search had been made
and the safe had been tampered with
this was proof against their efforts. A
missing cake and an empty grape
juice bottle showed the thieves had
stopped for refreshments. There is
no clue to the robbers, and it is
thought that it may have been the
work of boys.

WARD HOUSE WANTED.
First Ward Petitions Council For
Public House.

The following petition has been cir
culated among the voters of the First
ward the past week and is being read
lily signed: I'VE, the undersigned
freeholders and voters of the First
ward of the City of Brookings, respect
fully petition the honorable city council
of the City of Brookings to build a
ward house in the First ward for the
purpose of housing a hose-cart for the
use of the northern and eastern sec
tions of the city, and which house can
be used for the purpose of holding
elections, primaries and caucuses in
said First ward"
The petition will be presented to the
council at its next meeting and it is
very probable that it will receive fav-
orable consideration. The ward is
badly in need of a voting place, a barn
now being utilized for that purpose,
and a hose-cart centrally located
would insure better fire protection to
the buildings in the vicinity Of the col
lege.

COACH JUNEAU PROMOTED
Has Resigned from S. D. S. c. and
Goes to Milwaukee, Wis.

W. J. juneau. who has been director
Of athletics at the Agricultural college

signed and will close his connection
with that institution at the end of
the present year. He has accepted a

in tie fall. His work here has been
very satisfactory, his teams being sue
cessful and he is popular with the
students and townspeople.
The Milwaukee Daily Sentinel has
the following to say of his appoint
ment to his new position:
"Bill Juneau once captain of the
University of Wisconsin football team,
has been selected to coach the Mar
quette university eleven next fall.
Since the disposal of Cody Clark the
Marquette authorities have been look
ing for good man to take his place,
and Juneau was picked after much
deliberation.
"Bill Juneau was one Of the best
ends ever turned out of Wisconsin.
He played that position for three
years, but in his final year he was
switched to halfback owing to a dirth
of back field material. Before he
went to Madison he had several years
experience in the game at South Di-
vision High school under George Dow
ner Juneau never played on the scrub
team at Madison. He was put on the
varsity eleven the first night he got
out for practice and he held his place
for four years.
On addition to football juneau has

hurdler of no mean ability and did
good work in the sprints and quarter
mile. He will coach the track and
base ball teams at Marquette in ad-
dition to the football squad.
Since leaving Madison Juneau has
coached at two collegs with consider
able success. He made good at the
state college of South Dakota and be-
fore that went to Colorado college
where he turned out a fast team He
ed and the local authorities look for

SCHOOL OF FORESTRY.
Steps Should be Taken To Secure
1t For Brookings

1t is probable that school of for
estry will be established by the L. S
Government at the college within the
next year or two. ne matter is in
charge Of Senator Gamble and Con
gressman Hall, who have received
from Secretary of Agriculture nll-
son his hearty Endorsement of the
plan. No better place than the State
College could be found in the North
west at which to locate the new
school, and il is to be hoped tnat the
efforts being made in its behalf will
bear good fruit.
The Dacotah magazine mas the fol-
lowing article about the new school
from its Washington correspondents:
"A school of forestry at Brookings
is almost within sight. OF course,
the institution is some distance from
the stage where an appropriation for
it has been made, much less the
stage of bricks and mortar, but Sen
ator Gamble has received from Secre
tary Wilson, of the Department of
Agriculture a letter indorsing the
proposition in hearty language. and it
is probable that the initial appropria
tion will be made at the next session,
at least. Such an institution would
be of great value to the State in
teaching the rising generation how
to conserve the forests which remain,
and to encourage the growth of more

disregard Of consequences.

INTER-SOCIETY CONTEST.
Strong Rivalry Between Literary Soc
ieties at State College.

The third contest of five between
the Miltonian and Athenian Literary
Societies was held at the Chapel Sat
urday night. There has been intense
rivalry this year, due to the desire of
the Athenians to secure for the third
consecutive time the faculty trophy
and thus become it's permanent pos
SCISSORS. Professor NJ. c Bates was
the chairman and introduced the con-
testants. Miss Amy Maryland showed
careful thought and good delivery in
an Grafton on Jean Vatican. She
was followed by George / uillips of
the Athenian Society, whose subject
The Juvenile Court" was splendid
effort in delivery and plea for the
merits Of this mode Of trying youth
full offenders. Miss Lotto Underwood
in King Robert of Sicily played well
the characteristics in a difficult read
piano. The MltOnan reade r was
Miss Nellie Kendall who in appropri-
ate costume rendered Naughty Zelle."
Both readings were we'll received, re-
flecting credit on our elocution depart
ment and consistent hard work on
the part of the contestants. The es-
says were far ahead of those in pre-
vious years, and indicated that We
have literary talent in our institution.
Mr. White of the Atheian Society
chose for his subject THE Cradle of
Our Greatness and it was followed
by Miss Iva Evans with an essay
entitled "Initiators." The judges, Prof
fessors Harding and Brown and A. f.
Cham Derlain gave the essay and read
ing TO the Niltonian Society and the
oration to the Athenians. In previous
contests each society won one debate
and the outcome of this years rivalry
will be atched with interest
