The Norwich which is about to cele-
brate its 250th anniversary July 5th is
not the same OH Norwich of SO. It is
an electric trolley center now, with a
Washington square and a Union
square such as it did not dream of
then Things come to Norwich by
chunks. Between SO and '73 the wa
ter works were established and the
new court house and City hall built
the soldiers monument erected; and
when the late James Lloyd Greene was
mayor the Breed elm was made the
center of Washington square, 1t had
before stood on private property; and
Market street was widened and the
crooked places taken out of a dozen
streets The placing of the court house
was the birth of Union square, as we
see It. today, with its modern buildings.
1t is the municipal center Of Norwich.
The progress between '69 and rs
marked the beginning OF a modern
goth century Norwich.

THE MAN WHO lAlaS

1t has been said ITO think rightly is
to create-all things come through de-
sire!" You cannot see IT.? You are
not alone. If more people could see
this the world would be a better place
to live in. 1t is principally what we
cannot see that makes the pitfalls of
life. We could see more il we would,
but we must have faith to do It, To
be faithless is to be shiftless, and shift
lessness is one of the glazing faults of
the people. The world as blind as it
seems to be, knows too much, and does
too little. 1t Is not knowledge that
knowledge upon 1t. What we know Is
given concrete form by what we do.
knowledge alone is not power, but
followed by action 1t is the unsubdue-
able force. Think right and do right
and the world will move for you.
Our old friend "A. J. c." believes In
cheering the living rather than placing
emblems of appreciation upon the cas-
ket of the dead; and the Man Who
Talks rather expects his Write onl
Talk oni Thou canst not toll In vaini"
He has been with us all these years,
and that which fires our heart fires
his. We seem to respond to the same
vibrations--to be moved along parallel
lines. He is receptive to the truth
and he realizes in a broad sense how
the truth makes one free. It some
times seems to us as II he could talk
better than we do. He let's us know
that he sees sermons not hot air in
this column, and does not lose sight
of the practical value of much of IT..
May he never thirst or hunger for the
bread of life"

unusually good rate will be secured
for the round trip, so that everyone

at five O'Clock on Wednesday morn

Homecoming, and will return the same

1t is now practically assured that

better musical organization could hard

Aberdeen is making great prepara-

from throughout the west indicating
that thousands of former Dakotans

Special rates have been secured from
all points in the two states and from

SOUTH DAKOTA FRUIT.

Prof. Hansen is offering this year
three of the varieties of fruit that he
has developed at the Brookings ex-
pertinent station, the supply of each
being limited. They are the Sapa, q
cross between a Japanese plum and
a Sioux sand cherry, a fine, big, black,
glossy fruit more of the plum than
cherry in nature and habit; the Hans
ka, a cross between the native plum
and the Chinese apricot and finally the
sunbeam raspberry, a development of
the native red raspberry. While all of
these fruits are yet somewhat expert
mental in nature the success with them
so far justifies the belief that South
Dakota has made progress in the de-
veloping of fruit of her own, entirely
adapted to our climatic conditions
They should be given the widest pos
sible trial in the different localities of
the state.-Sioux City News.

MIlTONlANS WIN.

The third inter-society debate of the
college year took place at the chapel
Saturday evening The question was,
Resolved that the various states of
this nation should enact laws permit
ting the recall of county, state and
municipal officers by the system pop
ularly known as the recall" The
affirmative was upheld by the Milton
ians, with the following team: Joe
Morrison, Ray Fridley and Howard
Biggar, The Athenian team was Voll
mar Finley, VIM. Sander and Roy
Clark. The debate was one of the
hardest fought contests of the year,
every point advanced by either side
being vigorously attacked. The
judges, Captain Chrisman, J. NJ.
Saunderson and Prof Harding, gave
the decision to the Miltonans. Prof.
Bates presided as chairman and Ben
Alton as time-keeper. Each society
has now won two contests and the
last contest, which will decide the
years result, will be most interesting.

ARRANGEMENTS
FOR FALL FAIR.
ARE MADE AT MEETING HELD AT
WATERFOWL.
FINE RACES IN PROSPECT
SEVEN CITIES ARE REPRESENTED
AT THE MEETING.

+. G. Carlisle, president of the
BroOkings County Fair association,
accompanied by George ID. Cole and
+. l.. Squirting. attended a meeting OF
the South Dakota and Minnesota Fair
associations at Watertown Friday. The
meeting was called for the purpose
of making preliminary arrangements
for the coming fall fairs.
Programs for the speed contests of
the different fairs were arranged for,
a time limit was fixed for entries
and arrangements were made for diff
ferent attractions.
The speed programs were made as
nearly uniform as possible, so that d
fine string of horses will be attracted
here and go through the entire circuit
The state fair at Huron is in this
circuit and the Brookings county fair
will get the same horses that enter
at Huron, giving us some great races
A number of attraction managers
were present and the Brookings gen
tlemen closed contracts for three or
four good free attractions and will
get others between now and fair time
The other fair managers were rather
dubious about securing these free at
fractions on account of the expense
involved, but Brookings has had ex-
perience in that respesct and knows
that a good line of entertainment for
the people is what draws the crowd,
and the coming fair will be better in
this regard than ever before.
The following cities hold member
ships in the circuit: Clark, Redfeld,
Huron and Brookings in South Dako-
ia, and Tyler, Candy and Marshall in
Minnesota.

a BLACK HAND LETTER.

Brookings had 4 Black Hand scare
this week, although the party chiefly
concerned is not a bit frightened. On
Saturday Father Shean received a let
ter with the Brookings postmark, in
forming him that unless he forward
ed 800 to the writer before Tuesday
the Catholic church would be blown
up. The letter was signed, Francois
Grisky, general delivery, Brookings, S.
d." Fathers Sheahan of Elkton, and
Flynn of Estelline, received similar
letters signed by the same man, but
up to date he has not called at the
local postoffice for mail 1t is either
joke or the work of some half
crazed individual. If it is a joke it
is a pretty serious one, as a good stiff
penalty is attached to sending letters
of this character through the mail
Father Shean is not worrying a bit
and has paid no attention to the mat
ter aside from informing the local au-
thorities.

HERMAN IN TROUBLE AGAIN.

Herman Vandry, better known rs
Dutch Herman" a former resident
of Brookings. is in trouble at Water.
town again and it looks as though
he would get a penitentiary sentence
this time. The Public Opinion says:
For the third time within the past
year, Herman Nandry, yesterday af-
ternoon was bound over to the cir
cult court on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses. This
time Vandry is in trouble because he
tried to mortgage property not his
own.
"Vandry. it is alleged, went to the
livery barn in South Shore, picked
out good looking team of horses,
and took them up to the bank of
South Shore, and tried to- mortgage
them. The bank would not let him
have any money on the horses, so
Herman drove out to a farm owned
by A. FRANKIE, and got him to- sign
a note, it being stated that he did
so under the pretense that he had
mortgaged the buggy and horses.
"Nandry was arrested yesterday,
stood preliminary examination in mu-
nicipal court. and was bound over to
circuit court, with bail at $500. Van
dry is now staying in the county jail" d"

City Council Passes Ordinance Re-

Death for lice, bugs and other name
less creatures that infest fruit trees,
shrubs and other specified forms of
vegetation in the city of Walla Walla

night at it's session. when an ordi-
nance was passed providing for the
means of destruction
In the city ordinance passed last
night dealing with the lice killing
campaign as mapped out by County
Fruit Inspector Whitney, every per-
son, firm or corporation who makes a
business of spraying trees and fruit
must secure license from the city
clerk. All fnsecticide mixtures not
authorized by the state commissioner
of horticulture are placed under the
ban by the new ordinance. Infraction

than $500 nor more than SOS.
Il find too many persons about
town using any sort of mixtures for
spraying" said Inspector Whitney in
explaining the purpose of the ordi-
nance to the members of the council
last night. "Thesa mixtures are in
many cases actually good for the lice.
They thrive on the spray instead of
dying. BY requiring all persons who
make a business of spraying to use
the mixture authorized by the state
commissioner of horticulture this dan
ger can be obviated"
