Motive Power Officials Gather Stats.
tics on AmOunt Of Coal Consumed
If various experiments now being
made in Altoona by the motive power
department of the Pennsylvania rail-
,oad are successful, a new system Of
handling locomotives will be inaug-
trated on or about January l. For
months the Pennsylvania Railroad
ilompany has been gathering statistics
on the amount of coal consumed by
the both freight and passenger en-
gines per mile and according to the
size of train hauled.
1t has been learned that certain
class engines save coal on certain
.trains and that other classes do
better with heavy trains. The new
locomotives in use for several years
,on the Pennsylvania have made good
as to speed. but as there are only
certain trains where extra speed Is
necessary, the company believes that
other trains making more stops, and
with slower schedules, can get along
with an engine more on the order ol
the old style passenger engine.

before the court later in the day. The

YOUNG MAN PASSES AWAY.

Died, at his parents home, one and
a half miles southeast of Aurora, jan
uary II, 1909, Edward Smothers, aged
2S years and some months.
The deceased had been a patient suf-
ferer for about three years and his
death had been expected almost any
time. Ed, as he was familiarly called,
had many friends. He was of a cheer
full and hopeful disposition, never los
ing courage to the last.
The funeral was conducted Monday
at 2 p. m. by Rev. Black of Brookings,
and interment made in the cemetery
east of town. Although the day was
very d~isagreeable quite a large mum
Der Of friends gathered at the home,
where the services were held to pay
a last tribute to the memory of the
deceased.
Edward Smothers was born March
10, 1882, at Watcher, Keokuk county,
Iowa. He came to South Dakota about

as such, may be converted into a
reading room or rest place for farmers
and their families when they come to
trade. This would make the town
seem like home to the farmer and
would make him feel like %patronizing
those who help TO make this town
home for the use and enjoyment of
himself and his family.
Every farmer has as much need
OF a good home town with stores well
supplied with the goods which he
needs, as the merchant has for hun
dreds of thrifty, prosperous farmers to
purchase his goods. He knows also
that TO purchase a home builds up
his town and adds to the value of his
town and adds to the value of his
property. There is no better school
than the grange in which to teach
these inter-dependencies, and cement
the cordial feeling which should exist
between business men and farmers.
tn way is now open for the up
building of a hundred towns along
the lines indicated. If o are in
terested, do not wait till tomorrow,
but write or wire now and | will reply
by first mail giving fun particulars.
and if possible arrange IA date for a
large public meeting"

a LITTLE

Last Friday, the 18th, while County
Auditor was looking eel some of the
past history of the county, which was
required in making a report to the
company which bought the court
house bonds, he came GRO a coin
cidence. He discovered that the
county was organized, January 10,
1871, Just forty years to a day. The
order organizing the county was
signed by Geo. A. Batchelder, secre-
tary and acting governor of the terri
tory. and the first county commission
ers were Martin y. Trygstad, l.. NJ.
Hewlett and Elias Thompson. Mr..
Trygstad is still a resident of the
county. living on the homestead near
Lake Campbell, which he resided upon
at that time. The county seat was at
Medary at that time, and a little far
there on in the records Mr.. bitterness
found that the county seat election
was held on November 4, 1879, Volga
and BroOkings being the two contest
ing towns. A count of the vote on
November Is of that year showed
that Brookings had received a ma
iority of the votes and the board or
dered the county seat removed to this
city. The board adjourned to the
store of William II. Roddle in the new
county capital.

FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD.

One hears a good deal about the
power Of the press, but the fact is thai
no newspaper has very much real
power over men or events in these
days unless it is known to be standing
sanely and s~teadfastly for the welfare
of the whole community and nation.
The day Of party organs is past. Sen
satiOnal papers appealing to popular
passions cannot nov thoughtful men
tho men who make history. The
only kind of newspaper that really has
tremendous power in these days Is the
independent, reliable, ~disinterested
journal of wide circulation, whose col
umns are known to stand always for
the general good-for public honesty
and a square deal, whatever happens.
An excellent example of this sort Of
journalism is the Chicago Record
Herald. i has the enormous circula-
ton that deservedly goes with the
printing of the news, but its power lies
in its wise, conservative, Independent
editorial policy, which is shaped
with one sole end in view-the public
good. It's news and critical columns
show the same spirit. It Is al ideal
paper for the home.

STATE COLLEGE r

One OF the o strikingly original
and interesting chapel talks of the col
lege year was given at Tuesdays eXer-
cises by Rev. r. =. Doremus, the new
minister of the Unitarian church. His
subject was Poetry and Modern Life"
and his remarks bore directly upon
this title throughout his entire dis
course. He referred to the present as
a practical age of abundant activity,
alive with human progresS-invention,
new and changing fundamentals in
education and politics, and unprece-
dented commercial enterprises. He
then discussed the true meaning of
poetry, defining it as the lyric ex-
preston of life" True poetry belongs
to the present and can be appreciated
that poetry has been supposed to be-
long to the recluse, the bookworm and
the dreamer, but such is a wrong con
ception; the poets eye and the poets
heart belongs to every one The
speaker had the interest Of the EN-
tire assembly and his talk was greatly
appreciated.

scented the modern newspaper comedy,

well, that's d very hard question, son" answered daddy,

different ways. But fra little chap like you, getting ready to go out into the

"And that reminds m lie that 1 read only a few days ago about an example

"Ohh, daddy" said Evelyn, "Hd I eve fall asleep while you were telling

been too weak to wind up the heavy clockwork which makes the lamps blink
