BETWEEN TWO FIRES.

Mr.. Mcleod who is representing
his paper at Pierre, has this to say
in yesterdays Aberdeen News:
For the past two years there has
been open antagonism between A. II.
Wheaton, the state pure food commits
sioner on one side, and the wholesal-
ers and the druggists of the state on
the other side. Mr.. Wheaton has put
constructions on the laws governing
his department, which were not in ac-
cord with the ideas of the wholesal-
ers and the druggists and several of
his Rulings have been carried to the
courts, in which he has been Worsted
in the contests. At the opening of the
present session he came here with
Ia number Of bills in which he sought
20 have enacted into laws his ideas
which the courts said We're not con-
tanned in existing enactments. AT the
same time the druggists had prepared
bill of their own, which they were
lers were after the other bills, as inn
practicable, and hampering in the con-
duct of their business, without bene-
fitting the public in any way. The
drug bill was the center of the con-
test, and was passed in the house
as the druggists wanted it, regardless
of the wishes of the pure food COM
missioner. 1t went to the senate where
it has been a point Of controversy for
some time. with the druggists carry
ing all of their points on the prelimin-
AIRY skirmishes. But when it came up
for final action no one was more sur
prised than Mr.. Wheaton to find that
it passed that body amended to place
il enforcement under the commissioner
instead Of the state board of pharmacy,
as it was first drawn. The unanimous
vote instead of giving him cheer and
encouragement has had the opposite
effect, as he takes it as an intimation
that he will not get the opportunity
to work under the law, but that some
other man will be looking after its
enforcement. Whether this is the
true meaning or not will be developed
within the next few days, as the ap-
pcintment of a successor will be made
some time the present week.

en-. the speakers expressing regret at
losing the two men with whom, in
many cases, the business relation
had extended over long period. The
"reminiscences brought up were many
and varied and took a humorous turn
at times. Both Mr. Carnihe and Mr..
Storgaard spoke feelingly at leaving
the institution where they had lab
ored so faithfully and by that labor
placed the Farmer at the top of the
list of agricultural papers in the
Northwest and in fact made 1t one of
the most prominent in the country.
The occasion was like that of great
family party assembled to bid de-
parting member GOdspeed and n note
of gravity crept in toward the end
when the lateness of the hour made
it apparent that the parting time was
near.
Ii was nearly midnight when the
company left the table and wished
the two men and their wives all the
success possible in California, and in
turned were thanked for their atten.
ton and fidelity to the interests of
the paper.-Aberdeen News.

A GOOD BUNCt IN TRAINING.

Charles Coughlin was in Huron last
week to attend a meeting Of represen-
tativcs of the state colleges compris-
ing the South Dakota intercollegiate
Athletic association. OF which Mr..
CoUghlin is president. At this meeting
arrangements were made for the an
.nual state meet Of the association,
which will be held this year at Huron,
during the last week in May. The
transfer of the state meet from Mitch
ell to Huron is pleasing to Brookings,
and without doubt there will be a big
rowd 90 up from here.
Coach Saunderson has good sized
and likely looking bunch of track men
in training and everything points to
a winning team. Among the old men
are Coughin, Huntimer, Sperb, John
son, Buck, Meharg, Lane, Furnstahl and
Perley. Perley was a star high jump.
er when in school three or four years
ago and is expected to add materially
to the strength of the team. James
Lockhart is showing up we'll in the
snort distances, and a number Of other
good new men are expected to distin-
guish themselves before the end Of the
season. BY winning the state meet
this year the State college will secure
permanent possession of their third
championship cup, they having won
out the past eight years.

A VALUABLE EMBLEM.

Last Friday NJ. G.. Carlisle of this
city, received from the secretary of
the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch
Masons, a beautiful and valuable Past
Grand High Priests Jewel. 1t is a
work of art and nicely engraved with
his name, rank, and the year he held
the Office of Grand High Priest
of South Dakota, which was
in 1901. 1t is needless to
say that Mr.. Carlisle prizes the
emblem very highly. About year ago
George A. West, who was then a citi-
zen of Brookings, received similar
jewel, he having held that high office
just previous to Mr.. Carlisle, but at
that time Mr.. West was resident of
Brockings and Mr.. Carlisle resided in
De Smet.

BY the above table it will be seen
that the amount of warrants against
the city has been reduced from
$22,95722 in 1903 to $1,7S4.75 at the
present time. and this amount will be
wiped out when the city TAX comes
in this month. SO at the present time
there is practically no outstanding
warrants.
The ten.year bonds of the old cleo
tric light plant fund become due July
/, and it is optional with the city
to pay them at that time or let them
run another ten years. BY that time
the city will have money in the treas

another item of interest expense will
be cut off.
The report shows the following bal
ances on hand in the different depart
ments on March | Electric light,

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
TO BE SUBMITTED
TO VOTE OF PEOPLE OF THE
STATE.
SUFFRAGISTS ARE HAPPY
AS RESULT OF ACTION OF THE
LEGISLATURE.

The smoothest legislative play ever
pulled off in the house, Wednesday
afternoon resulted in the adoption of
a resolution to submit equal suffrage
to the people. 1t carried by vote of
6S to 2S, after having been once de.
feated in the house this session. AS
the senate adopted the resolution early
in the session by practically unani-
nous vote. the suffrage contingent is
happy.
In the senate Gordon renewed his
'viaduct" bill from the governor, and
ii will be materially amended before
it gets back to the executive again.
The senate reversedst lille Oh the rail
read legislation Thursday by defeating
two of the railroad bills before them,
one to fix the strength of train crews
and the other the switch light bill.
A new bill in the senate prohibits
townships from licensing saloons with
in two and One-half miles of the boun-
daIes of a nolicense town. the bill
being aimed to head off the action of
townships at Mitchell and other affect
ed cities.
The Wednesday afternoon session of
the house was rather lively all around.
First the report of the majority and
minority on the bill to serve jurors
by mail started things, with the law
yers Of the committee divided and the
the bill do pass. Next, the house good
roads bill was the center of attraction
some of the members wanting the SEN
ate bill substituted which brought out
IA general contest headed by Johnson
of Minnehaha, with number of men,
bers backing him, resulting in the
house passing its own bill regardless
of the senate action.
The senate passed senate bill re-
pealing the state nursery laws and fix
ing state standard form of fire in
!
surance policy.
The principal house bills passed by
the house were to prohibit brewers or
wholesalers from engaging III the re-
tail liquor business or assisting 9th
erS to do 50, and granting greater jur-
isdiction to the county courts in coun-
ties of 1000 people or over. The
house killed the bill to create a state
tax commission.
The state will have two new su-
preme court judges, the senate hav-
ing passed the house bill to that effect
without an amendment. This will give
the extreme northern and southern
portions of the state judges. and ru-
mors are to the effect that Judge Nc
Coy, of the Fifth circuit, and Judge
Smith of the first circuit, are the men
most likely to be chosen.
The house at the Thursday morning
session passed the amended primary
law. which cuts out the double pri-
maries every four years. eliminates the
county convention and fixes the pri-
mary date at the first Thursday in
June, allows nominations by plurality
vote, cuts out the thirty per cent provi-
sion of the old law. and prohibits the
county committee from filling vacan-
cies on the ticket, except in cases OF
sickness or death.

COCOANUT TREE ONE
OF THE MOST USEFUL

1t is more than a coincidence that
the tree which furnishes a greater
amount of valuable material t. man
than any other in the vast .-ingdom
of vegetables is the first to spring up
on the bare rocks of the newly-arisen
coral reef. The cocoanut, so formed
that il may have fioated half way
across the Pacific, is thus universally
distributed throughout tropical is
lands.
1t thrives best near the sea, seldom
penetrating far into the interior. Its
hard shell is a coat of mail for the
embryo plant, enabling 1t to stand hard
usage for a protracted period and
locking up securely the precious life
in miniature.
The fibrous husk which envelops 1t,
and is seldom seen in the market on
account of the greatly-increased bulk,
breaks the jar which would be inev-
table should the hard nut fall unpro-
tected from the tall tree to the ground
60 or 80 feet below.
Such blow would scarcely fail to
break the shell, occasioning the loss
of the nourishing milk so necessary 10
the germ. The outer husk not only
breaks the jar of a fall, but buoys II
up on the water, while the tough outer
cuticle is waterproof, says the New
Age.
Thus is the tree which offers to mar
