A GRAND SUCCESS
Mid-Winter Music Festival by College
Band and Giee Club

Prof. Francis J. Haynes and his ag-
gregation of young musicians certain
ly did themselves proud in the pro
gram rendered at the Grand opera
house Thursday and Friday evenings.
Thursday evening the program was
chiefly made up of band music with
two numbers by the male quartet. The
band has made wonderful progress
since the fall term opened bearing
evidence that each member has been
diligent as we'll as possessing en-
viable musical ability. Prof. Haynes
has every reason to feel encouraged
by the success of his band as it clear
ly demonstrates his capability as a
leader. The descriptive piece was
one of the best If not the best pieces
of the kind ever rendered in this city
by an amateur band, nor would we
refrain paying the quartet we'll de-
served compliment.
The crowning effort of the festival
came Thursday evening, the program
being we'll arranged to give the or
cheStra, choral union, ChOruseS and in
dividual musicians an opportunity to
show their skill. The orchestra num-
bers were we'll received in every in
stance, and the trombone solo by Mr..
Wilcox is deserving of special mention
as was also the quartet on the violin,
flute, cello and piano. rendered by
Messrs. Christensen, Crosier, Kelly
and Miss Nicholson.
Misses Aurora and Elsie Leekley in
their duet were recalled with enthus-
iasm and Miss Ruby Williams so
pleased her audience that she also
responded to an enchore.
The chorus of sweet toned voices
was the peer of any We have ever
heard before Brookings audience.
Their voices blended well, each word
was clear and distinct; something un-
usual in chorus singing. and it would
be difficult to point out Improvement.
Prof. Haynes is a tireless worker.
He is painstaking and eXacting in every
detail and withal he has the happy
faculty of getting the best results
while holding the respect and admira-
tion of his pupils and cO-workers.
The success of the whole affair was
in no small measure due to the hearty
assistance of all who participated and
especially the aid rendered by Pro
fessOrs Christensen and loundenback
Hereafter We shall look forward
with pleasure to the date of each an
nual music festival given by the mu-
sic department of the S. ID. S. c.

OBITUARY

Ii is with Sorrowing hearts that we
submit to the will of our Maker who
mas seen fit to call upon our loved
one to answer to the death summons.
Mr.. James Lucas was born at Nor
rison, Illinois. March 80, 1862. and
died January %, 1908. at the age of
forty-tive years. nine months and
twenty-five days. The deceased leaves

Santa Anna California; Mrs. Sarah
kellum and Sam Lucas of Royal
Iowa; John Lucas of White. S. d.:
Mrs. Lizzie Finster and Henry Lucas
OF Santa Anna, California.
Mr.. James Lucas was united in
marriage to Miss Bertha Smith, March
/, 1888, at White Lake, S. d., where
they resided until the following No.
vember, from whence they moved to
Bolton, Missouri, after having resided
there until the next February, they
then moved to Des Moines, Iowa, from
which place they took up their resi-
dence at Algona, Iowa. where he fol
lowed the occupation of farmer unit
he fell victim to the dreaded disease
of tuberculosis.
In hopes that change Of climate
would prove beneficial to Mr.. Lucas s
health they departed for White, S. ID.
November 20, 1907. Upon arrival they
took up their home with their brother
John Lucas and family, where loving
hands and medical skill did all in
their power to relieve the patient suf
ferer, who was a believer in his God

WRESTLING SHOW

The wrestling match at the opera
house last evening between Lerlow
Pierce of Iowa, and "Waddy' Love
land of Ellsworth Mimi, resulted in
a victory for the latter. The condi-
tions of the match were that Pierce
was to throw Loveland three times
in an hour. Loveland was a
harder man to beat than he
anticipated and he could only get
one fall in the hour. This fall came
at the end of thirty-one minutes of
hard work, in which Pierce was the
aggressor most of the time. After ten
minutes rest the men again went to
the mat and Loveland succeeded in
staving Pierce off the remainder of
the hour. The sympathy of the crowd
was almost entirely with Loveland,
which of course, was only natural, as
he is we'll known here, and besides
was the smaller man of the two.

WELL. WHY NOT?

"Why should not city and town
council pass an ordinance prohibiting
citizens from patroniZing merchants
and business men who refuse to sup
port the home paper? 1t is well under
stood that the local paper is one of
the most potent factors in building up
the town. The man who does not sup
port it, is. of course, Sinking his duty
to the town. Why should he not be
Stunned as a reprobate?'
The above is a portion of the South
Dakota Editorial association by ID.
NJ. Evans former resident of this
state and shows how little a mer-
chant who does not help support his
local paper, may be thought OF in
the community.
1t is poor paper indeed that does
not help build up a town but the indi-
yidual who will take trade that is
brought TO his town through the en-
terprise Of his fellow merchants with
out any aid on his part is pretty
small potatoes.

UNStGHTLY ADVERTISING
Bloodthirs.y Posters Should Not Ad

No little adverse comment has been
heard regarding the blood thirsty dec.
OrationS which have recently been
presented to the public gaze on the
bill boards OF this city. A show COM
pany is indeed unfortunate in select
ing such advertising matter which
might do in mining camps but are
not designed TO meet with favor in
South Dakota. The Minneapolis dali
les are attacking the questionable
poster proposition and are to be COM
mended for their fearless words. 1t
is no fault of the local bill poster. He
pastes up what the show troupes pro-
vide, but those theatrical companies
which are heralded by such outlandish
and barbarOus paper may find their
purses will be poorer after they have
visited BrOokings,
