and later resumes his place in the az
fections of his long suffering wife.
There are many dramatic incidents in
the production and the audience testi-
fed to it's approval of Mr.. F'igman and
the company last night by enthusiastic
applause. curtain call after curtain
call, finally getting few remarks from
the star at the end of the second act.
Miss Helene Lackaye, a sister of the
great Wilton Lackaye, is most happily
cast as the mother OF Mary Jane. The
center Of interest In the production
hinges around her. She is a woman Of
charming personality, inspiring and
capable to a superlative degree.
Gretchen Hartman as Mary Jane is
a precocious young lady. She is child
tsh and perfectly natural, nothing is
overdone in her part and her scene
with the man-whom she does not
know Is her father-during his rela-
ton of the dippy bird story is superb.
The other members of the cast full
ly meet all requirements.

ANOTHER MODEL LINK.

+. c. Olson, proprietor of the Model
store here, and II. ID. McCoshan of
the WatertOWn store, We're at Rapid
City last week and We're so favorably
impressed with the city and locality
that they made arrangements to open
a Model clothing store at that place.
Rapid City is fortunate in securing
a store like Olson Brothers, and they
can be assured that the store they will
open there will be a credit to the city.
This makes the seventh Model store
of the firm. and they are located in
seven of the best towns in Minnesota
and North and South Dakota. While
f. c. Olson will be general manager
of the Rapid City store, We are glad
to state that his home will remain
in BroOkings.

Minneapolis next Sunday and mass
meeting will be held to perfect the
organization and further the work OF
building.
An institution Of this character has
long been needed in Brookings and
the Register trusts that every citizen
and business man will get behind the
project and push it to the utmost of
their ability
Rev. Robinson, who has had much
experience in promoting these worthy
institutions and is familiar with the
splendid work that they do contributes
the following and has promised for
next week an extended article on the
same line:
Not the least of the results of the
.owry-Moody meetings in our city,
is the renewed agitation of and en-
thusiasm for Y. NJ. c. A. organiza-
ton and building. No town in South
Dakota has so many young men as
Brookings and these boys and young
men, and older men for that matter,
have nothing provided, no place to go
the only places are the pool rooms
and cigar stOres-it goes without say
ing that they will get together Man
is a social animal Think what a
building of this kind, with its gym
nasium. its reading rooms. its play,
work. worship in word its whole
social life. would mean to every boy
and young man in Brookings. 1t is
not the influence and help it would
be to our own boys only but to every
student as well. Then it would not
be something temporary but abiding.
What might we not do for our own
boys year after year, as they grow up
and for the generations of students
as they come and go? There is moth
ing that BroOkings can do for herself
and the college that will mean much
for all time as this. Talk about ad-
vertising. What advertising would
equal well equipped Y. M. c. A.
building? Let us get under this and
make it go. Let us strike while the
iron Is hot.

A BAD STORM.

Commencing Thursday evening and
continuing until Saturday. this section
was visited by the worst storm in
years. a fifty mile an hour gale. ac-
companied by snow. came up from
the northwest about six O'Clock and had
tnere any amount of snow fallen it
would have been a genuine old fash
Toned blizzard. Farther east. in Min
nesota from two to six feet of snow
fell and there the storm was at it's
worst. The railroad track at some points
east OF Tracy was covered to the
depth OF seventeen feet and as the
drifts hardened at once it was impos-
sible for the trains to move. The reg,l-
lar passenger, which was due to arrive
here on Friday morning, ran into a
bad drift east of Tracy and was un-
able to mive until Sunday The rail
road company had about two hundred
men at work on this one drift and all
the snow plows in the division We're
hurried there. Even the big rotary
was unable to make much headway
The first mail train arrived here
Monday morning, bringing Fridays
mail. it being the first train to arrive
here from the east since the previous
Thursday. Another train arrived here
late that night and the passenger got
in about on time Tuesday morning
and these two trains carried over two
tons of mail for BrookngG 1t was
the largest shipment ever received at
the local poStoffice and completely
swamped the force. The carriers We're

they did not go out at all and the car

little late. arrived regularly. but where

was very little snow west of here and

REVIVAL MEETINGS CLOSE.

The revival meetings which came
to close Tuesday evening. were
very interesting in many respects. The
effort met with considerable oppO
hand criticisms from the outside. but
this was overcome in few days and
the interest grew as the meetings
progressed. Rev. Lowry succeeded in
compelling the attention of all who
came to listen and his earncstness was
contagious. The weather for the first
two weeks was yery disagreeable, but
the attendance kept up remarkably
we'll and several times people were
turned away, being unable to find
standing room. Last Sunday evening
lit was estimated that there were 200
people present and many We're unable
to get inside of the doors In all there
were about thirty-three general ser
vices held, besides some eighteen spec
ial morning and afternoon sessions.
The meeting were financed without
any special effort. The expense of the
building and maintaining the taber-
nacle were raised by voluntary contri
buttons the first three weeks. The
amount approXma.ed 500. The evan
gelist was rene cred by the volun-
tary offerings token up last Sunday
morning and evening The exact
amount has not been reported, and as
1T was a free will Offering it ought not

The number Of those who went for
ward at the meetings aggregate $50.
Many of the number are from the
country and surrounding towns. Mum

Others were benefited in spiritual eX
perience and the whole community has
profited in many way. The churches

of what concerted effort will accom-
plish in religious sense.
The singing was excellent and in

dred voices, under the leadership OF
Mr.. Moody, was one of the features
Of the meetings. The support. both
vocal and instrumental, proves that
Brookings has musical talent and that
it has been properly cultivated. Eyi
dences are that the good work will
not cease until others will nave re

AN AMUSING CONTEST

Last night at the Quaker medicine
show a very amusing contest was
witnessed. 1t was between four boys
to whom prize OF one dollar was
offered to the boy who would get
bite from an apple Suspended by a
string on level with his head with
out using his hands. The boys made
strenuous efforts to get bite, but
the apples bobbed around the boys
heads and it was soon demonstrated
that to get bite in this way was
next to impossible. The boys effors
were so evidently in earnest that it
created lots of merriment for the
bystanders. The doctor then told
the boys the only way to win was to
break the string with the teeth and
get a bite OF the appley after it fell
to the floor 1t took but q few sec
onds to decide the contest in this
manner.
