REV. LOWRY CLOSES.

The four weeks of the cyaneelistic
services in this city,swhch have stir
red all hearts as never before has any
event i'll the history of the city, came
to an end last night, the last day be-
ing marked by largely attended SER
vices, although conducted in a big
snowstorm. The time has come for a
summing up of the work and the
placing Of it in the hands Of Il jury
The verdict will be disagreement as
there is no denying there are many in
the city who have expressed dis
approval. The minority report, as it
were, was heard from one of the
city's leading pulpits yesterday, in
an eloquent, kindly and learned SER
mon On the other hand there are a
great many who see in the months
effort a great deal accomplished for
good that they think could never have
been attained by any other method.
Perhaps a word should be given in
conclusion to tho future, Those ac-
tive in the work of the past month
hope for big local results and that
the visit of the evangelists will result
in a cleaner Yankton in every way, a
hope that all, regardless OF doctrine
and criticism, we trust will be re-
allied d-YanktCn Press and Dakotan.

EARLY MORNING FIRE.

The fire department was called out
Sunday morning by fra at the home
of J. A. Seaton on Williams street.
The fire, which started from the kitch-
en- stove, was discovered by VIM. Alli-
n, who lives opposite the Seaton
house. and by that time it had good
start ard only heroic work by the fire
boys saved the entire house from de-
struction. The interior of the kitchen
was pretty we'll burned out and all
the furniture in the room was destroy
ed. Several suits Of clothes belonging
to Mr. Seaton were scorched so bad
lv that they are worthless. The loss
will amount to about $500 and it is
fully covered by insurance.
AS stated above the fire caught from
the kitchen stove, and the chimney
must have been defective as it ap-
parcntly started from the inside and
burned out. No one was at home at
the time, Mr.. Seaton having gone down
town to get his breakfast and there
was but little fire in the stove when
he left. He is of the opinion that it
must have caught on the board sup
porting the chimney and was probably
burning when he left. Fortunately he
closed the door leading to the kitchen
and the fire did not reach the rest of
the house.
Mr.. Seaton expresses his sincere ap-
preciation of the work of the fire de-
partment, as well as that OF the neigh
bors who lent every assistance in their
power.

IS ASSURED
Y. M. c. A. EDIFiCE WILL az
ERECTED IN 6RookINos.
$4,000 ALREADY PLEDGED
AND REMAINDER WILL BE RAISED
WITHIN A WEEK.

Last week we predicted that tho
movement FOR Y NJ. c. A. building
ior Brookings would be a success and
since that time the situation has been
steadily improving until now there is
no further question but what the build
ing VIII be erected. Two meetings
nave been held, one Friday evening
and one Sunday afternoon. and both
were productive of much good. The
committee has been steadily at work
ana report that they have secured TWEEN.
ty-three pledges of $500 each. At tbe
'iihe the movement was started it was
deemed necessary that at least this
number of pledges for $500 would have
to be in sight before the work of can.
'aSslng could be started. This num-
Der was reached on Tuesday ana there
are several more in sight so with Mr.
Fishbacks contribution there Is at
least $4,000 pledged at the present
tme. The committee will now start
out for thorough canvass of the
city and within the next week tho
total amount should BE- pledged and
the plans for the building can be made
ana pushed forward rapidly. Mr.. Par
sons, general secretary for the North.
west Is in the city and will remain
here until the work is completed.
Inc committee adopted very
unique plan of giving vent to their
ieeiihgs OF JOY as each $500 pledge
Is secured. Before the ink was dry
ON the subscription list word was tele-
iphoned to the roller mill and Mr.. Sey.
auer blew the big whistle five times,
one for each one hundred dollars. and
it was the signal for general rejoicing
III every part of the city.
The following committee has been
selected, which will have general
charge of all matters pertaining to the
movement: w. A. Caldwell. M. G..

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME.

why Girls Leave Home is an inn
portant question. At the opera house
on March 10 will be presented drama
in domestic life dealing with the ques-
ton and setting forth from one stand
point at least. the answer. The play
is a dramatiZation by Fred Summer
field of a story dealing with the fric-
ton of domestic environment, character
istic of so many homes, and the effect
upon the sensitive nature of the sister
and daughter of the household. The
scenes are naturally drawn, avoiding
melodrama yet leaving nothing want
ing in the pathos incident to all suf-
fering-mental or physical. The pres
enting company is claimed to be one
of the best that is touring the coun-
try, and the scenic investiture is said
to be very elaborate.

DR.. LEWIS
MCLOUTti DEAD
FORMER PRESIDENT OF STATE
COLLEGE PASSES AWAY.
ACCOMPLISH MUCH GOOD
FOR INSTITUTION DURING HIS
NINE YEARS SERVICE.

DR.. Lewis McLouth, former presi-
dent OF the State college of this city.
died at his home at New Britain.
Conn, last Monday, aged 73 years. DR..
McLouth had been in feeble health
for several years, due to- his advanc-
ing years and the end was not uneX-
pected. He was in Brookngs last
June. accompanied by Mrs. McLouth
to attend the twenty-fifth anniversary
celebration of the founding of the
State college. At that time he had
aged greatly since his retirement from
the college, and he expressed the opin-
ion that he would make no more long
trips. He greatly enjoyed his visit
to Brookings, meeting as he did so
many of the former students and facul-
ty members who were at the insti-
Il ton during his regime.
DR.. McI.outh was elected president
OF the State college in 1856, being at
that time professor in the Michigan
Agricultural college, and he succeeded
DR.. George Lilley, who was the first
president of the institution. He took
charge of the college while it was
still in its infancy and he accomplished
much for it during his presidency of
nine years. Although the college adj
vanced during this time, DR.. McLouth's
reign was stormy one and there was
continued warfare between two fac
tions of the faculty. This finally cul-
minated in the discharge Of several
members of the faculty, which result
ed in the big strike of 1898, when over
one hundred students left the insti-
tuition never to return. Governor
Sheldon and the board of regents spent
trouble, but the students refused to
go back unless the discharge faculty
members went with them, but DR.. Nc
Louth refuse to accept this cOmprom-
Use. 1t was a blow from which the
collcf-} did not recover for several
years, and it finally lead to DR. Nc
Louth's resignation two years later
Since that time he has made his home
at New Britain, Conn.
/ Dr McLouth was a man Of great
force of character, fearless, rugged
fighter but honest and kindly, and he
was respected by his friends and enc
mics alike. The news of his death
will be received with sadness by his
old acquaintances in this state.
