THE BACKYARD Of THE NORMAL
A Passing Glimpse OF Power House,
Laundry, Cold Storage Rooms, Pan
fry. KilChen and Dining Room.

Under the chaperonage Of Chef
Ward we were introduced on last Mon
dav afternoon to some Of the back
ward scenes of the Normal during the
summer session. The power house
we found on less than half duty, fur
nishing steam for the laundry, making
ice water for the Railways of the
buildings. steam and power for kitch-
en- purposes and cold for the storage
rooms. During the winter all OF the
bio boilers are on duty, but now on
" two of them, and strange to say,
are furnishing heat for one depart
ment and cold for another. The
laundry is perfect in every detail, but
human hands are still necessary to
complete the delicate work committed
TO its keeping.
The cold storage rooms were fur
nishing refreshing and safe quarters to
fresh meats and vegetables, even in
GOOD old summer time. And, by
the way. we saw a saddle of mutton
there so perfect in shape, so finely
fattened, so attractive in its every fea-
ture that we ventured to say it must
have come from the Burnt Woods
of Buckingham, when our guide said
no. we got it from Judge Watkins
farm. and we have been wondering
ever since where the Judge got it.
The pantry, stocked with jars of pick

eggs, cold meats pies and things
was as captivating in its appearance as
it was Clearly in its every feature.
The kitchen is a model of cOnven-
fence and comfort, and as we exam
med it we appreciated in some meas
ure how it is possible to prepare a
meal for five hundred eaters in one
andxthe same place. The roasting
and boiling are effected by steam
power while the mammoth bake ovens
are warmed by their own fires. The
creams are frozen by steam, and the
plates and dishes washed for the next
meal. The fact is most every thing
is done from the power house, save
and except the eating. As yet, mar

with high protectionists.

placed on the conference committee

Junior Republican member, said Let's

hemence that startled his associates.
Some one said that the majority should

came from one Of the senate members
OF the conference, and it Incensed Mr..
Payne still more.
Mr.. Payne told Mr.. Aldrich that he
could vote the senate members of the

could not vote the house members SC
easily Full OF wrath. be told his
house colleagues that it was their duty
to stand up for the house bill and to
yield only after every possible effort
had been made to win. He minated
that some of the house conferees had
been to ready to agree to increases
made by the senate. Unless the house
members intend to stand By the house
bill there is no use in trying to vote
on these matters. he said.
AS a parting shot Mr.. Payne Is re.
ported to have said that he would not
sign a conference report merely be.
cause a majority Of the house Republi'
can conferees had agreed TO IL. With
his coat tails furled about him, Mr..
Payne stalked angrily from the room.
II is declared by Mr.. Payne's friends
that his answering attitude on the
low rates in the house bill is dictated
solely by a desire to see President
Taft successful in his contention for
a downward revision of the tariff.

Never since her early days has
Presho showed as great a building

many more. 1t was supposed that the
boom would not m until

1t is generally known that the Mil

Many improvements are being

be between the druggists of South
Dakota and A. H. Wheaton, dairy and

both sides declaring they will stand
fast.
The state supreme court having de,
clared unconstitutional the pure drug
act passed two years ago, On account
of a confusion in verbiage, it is recog.

at this time.
The measure championed by the
druggists is known as house bill No.

president of their state association.
1t is a copy of the national drug act,
now in force in thirty states. with a
single change, placing the enforce,
ment in the hands of the state board

Since the decision was given out by
the United States land Office with
reference to the case of Gilbert Sat

who have been expecting patents
from the land office, and they were
somewhat embarrassed as to what
would be the attitude of the govern

some correspondence with the land

you are advised that unless there is
a protest, or contest or other obpec-

will not be withheld, but will issue in
due course of the business of this
office" Concerning a further ques-
ton: IF a real estate mortgage upon

been issued and which has passed
only to final certificate, may be con
sidered as safe security for the debt
represented by It." the commissioner
makes reply to the effect that until
