THE BRIGHT SIDE

Of life. 1t is q feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more OF
less miserable i'll health takes
the first place. No doubt a
crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause Of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate Of pain, loss and fear a.
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude 20 one can number-
You can see these people every
where. Cor them life can scarce
" be said to have any "bright
side" at all. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like

That this remedy deserves its

The county commissioners decided
Yesterday to establish a city park in
the court house yard, for the benefit
of the county in general. They
have let the contract for cement
walks around the entire square, and
also for a double entry. and will
appropriate money for gravel walks
and seats all through the yard.
This action was taken in response
to a request from the ladies OF
Miller, anc is one that is highly
commeadable on the part of the
commissioners. The park will fur.
nish a delightful pleasure resort for
both city and country. but it will be
especially appreciated by the coun-
try people as a place to rest and take
their dinners in town.

Prairie Fire Damages

Aberdeen. April Fire Marshal
Craft was in the city yesterday on
his way back from Leola, where he
investigated the recent prairie fires.
George Huepel who lives seven
miles west of Leola, set fire to a
ST. aw pile March Z. The fire smouI-
dered until March %. when the
strong wind spread it to the prairie
and 1t burned over a large area of
country. He has already paid over
$1,000 damages to neighbors and
has more to settle for before he is
through.
Besides civil damages anyone set
ting a prairie fire is liable in a
criminal action to a fine of not over
$1,000. He may burn a straw pile
if it is surrounded by fifty feet of
fire break. but even then he is not
relieved Of civil action for damages.

IS TO BLAME
FOR BAD ROADS
What Little Work Is Done Is
Almost Useless

The roads are bad. Everybody
admits it, and then asks why don't
they" fix 'em?
Who are they"
What have you and | done to help
make good roads? Nothing except
to cuss when we hit a rut, or come
to a bridge with the embankment
partly gone, or wade through a mud
hole.
Can't we join together in some
way, with intelligence, with energy,
with influence, and get the roads
made possible?
For instance. every road leading
into Miller needs intelligent thor
ough work to make them goou
public thoroughfares for people to
reach the city. Examples of good
roads near the city, their un-
questioned benefits in comforts for
any kind of a rig, will encourage
more and more building of good
roads.
Suppose the people of Hand Coun-
ty had started in a determined and
thorough manne to build main
roads twenty-five years ago. What
would be the result today?
Shall we drift along forever with
a lick and a promise at our roads, or
shall we waken up from our Rip
Van Wlnkle nap like the city adj
ministration- and proceed to do
something?
What do you think about it? Are
you fully satisfied to remark:
They ought to do something to
fix up these terrible roads, and let it
go at that?

OLD LANDMARK
TAKEN DOWN
March OF Progress COmpelS Des-
TruCtiOn Of Historic
Building

AS the wheels of progress grind
relentlessly on. n after another
the historic landmarks of pioneer
days must yield to the insistant de,
mands of prosperity. and be re.
legated to the past, to live only in
the memory of the oldest inhabit,
ants.
One of the recent instances of this
truth is the tearing down of the old
Hand Co. elevator to replace it with
a more modern structure. This
historic old building, which was the
tallest in Miller, was built about
twenty-five years ago by A. ID. Hill
and d. w. Coward, both now de.
ceased 1t has been a silent specta,
tor in the history of the grain bust.
ness in Hard county. witnessing the
fluctuations in the price of wheat
from 80 cents to SIPS a bushel as
the years, good and bad, came anG
went, and many thousands OF
bushels of grain have pa ssed through
it to market.
Many incidents of interest in their
day have occurred at the old eleva
tor. When it was being built
Henry Newmire, a pioneer carpen'
ter, was badly scared to discover
that he had worked for half an houl
on a scaffld held by only one nail
An attempt was made by someone
to burn it one night, but luckily il
was discovered by a passer-by, anC
the blaze put out. Former Mayor
Chas. Thomson nearly met death il

machinery a couple of years ago.
This old landmark is to be re
placed by a fine new elevator o.
10000 bushels capacity, the new
structure to be one of the largest or

.REDFIELD GETS
ADVENT COLLEGE
Was Miller Tricked Out of This
Institution

Under a big heading the Redfeld
Journal. of March 81. has this to
say. concerning the Seventh Day
Advent College:
Yesterday morning the repre-
sentatives of the State Conference
of Seven Day Adventists met with
the representatives of the Redfield
Commercial Club in Packard's office
and completed the contract which
lnsures the Adventist College for
Redfield before September, 1911.
p. H. Christensen, a former Redfeld
resident, and q. w. Christian, of
Sioux Falls, appeared for the Ad-
ventists. and are making plans look
ing toward the start of the worK on
the college grounds.
The Adventists have purchased
120 acres of the Christensen land
south of the fair grounds. which
will be the site for the college. The
contract calls for an active start on
the work Of construction before
Sept. |, 1910, and the completion of
S25, 900 worth of buildings before
the first of September, 1911. Mr.
Christian plans to locate here and
assume charge of the work on the
new grounds. The land passes into
their hands about May first and at
that time active work will start.
The first work on the buildings.
or on the campus will be setting out
fruit trees. 500 young trees will be
set out on the grounds as soon as the
weather will permit. Then the next
step will be a farm house, and barns
to care for the Workmen in the con-
structlon of the main building of the
Academy which will be started this
m The plans r to begin
the work in the new school about
the first of September 1911. and the
management are e~ndeavoring to
provide for the accommodation of one
hundred and fifty pupils at that
time.
At. present the Adventists have a
college at Elk Point, and this will be
continued up to the time when the
Redfield school is ready for oc-
cupancy. Then it will be discon-
tinued, leaving the college here the
ONLY one OF it's kind in the state.
The sum needed to be raised, $1,000
has not been entirely subscribed,
but the Commercial Club took the
matter IN hand in order to insure
the academy for RedfieId.'
The PRESS, with many others, re-
grets that Miller was tricked out of
getting this institution, which at one
time the Commercial club had prac-
tically secure. 1t would have
doubled the population of the city
inside of five years: it would have
greatly assisted in inducing the
Milwaukee road to build north and
south, and increased the value by
developing all farm lands for several
miles.
M,braska's Advent school has built
up a suburb to Lincoln of 1000
people, has become a full college,
with nearly 5000 students, and is
now the second college in that state.
This will in time be duplicated IN
SOuth Dakota.

MAYOR SELECTS
"CLEAN UP' DAY
Thursday, April 14th, Proclaimed
Holiday For Cleaning Up
City Of Miller

I'm response to a request from the
Ladies' Civic Improvement League,
Mayor S. V. Christ has ISSUED the
following proclamation in regard to
a cleaning up day for the city.
Proclamation
Whereas; Cleanliness is next to
Godliness', it is deemed meet and
proper that one day of the year
should be set apart and devoted to
making a clean city.
Now. therefore, |, S. V. Christ,
Mayor of the City of Miller, do
hereby proclaim Thursday, the l4th,
day Of April 1910 a holiday, to be
called Cleaning up Day" and do
recommend that the schools and all
places of business be closed from
Two o'clock to Six o'clock P. M. of
said day, and do earnestly request
that the people of the City, laying
aside all other occupations, devote
said day to clearing away the win
ter's accumulation of rubbish and
making a clean city.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the city this 5th, day of April
1910.
5. V. Christ,
Mayor.
This selection of a special day for
this purpose has been tried in many
other cities with greatest success
and with a concentrated
effort, the city of Miller can be
made to shed her winter garments
of rubbish in a few hours. The
work will be under the direction of
the Improvement League, and it will
be an organized campaign. They
have requested the school board to
give at least a half holiday on that
daV, 50 that the SchOOl children can
assist in the work.
The city will be divided into five
districts, each n under a captain
to direct the children. j. J. Struif
has consented to act AS chief, and
the city will furnish teams to haul
away the rubbish.
This cleaning up should be a
matter Of individual pride with every
man, woman, and child in Miller,
and it is greatly to be hoped that the
MAYORS proclamation will bring
forth a hearty response from every
citizen of Miller next Thursday.
