IN THE LONG AGO.

An item taken from the Chamberlain
Register, published thirty years ago,
is being widely reprinted to illustrate
the changes of a few years: james
Dugan called at our landing last week,
while en- route to st. Louis" says the
old Chamberlain paper. "Dugan had
ten tons of buffalo meat on his craft.
His party consisted Of four, who killed
last winter 1000 buffalo. Dugan him
self killed 7SO buffaloes, 125 black tail
deer, eighty antelopes, sixty-ive elk,
(t~hirty-two at one setting). He states
that owing to the yer winter over
200, 900 buffaloes were killed and still
he says the country between Cannon
Ball and the Little Missouri Is full
Of them. He paid as high as $50 a
sack for -four and 20 cents a pound
for salt last winter"

HORSE RUNS AWAY.

What may be considered a very
fortunate runaway occurred Friday af.
ternoon. Mrs. Harry McKenon, OF
Boone, Iowa, who was visiting at the
home Of her father. John Messer-
schmidt, accompanied by her younger
sister, were driving down Main street
with T. S LeFevre's horse. Near the
Masonic Temple the strap holding the
thils broke and the horse became frigh-
tened and started to run. At the
Jarvis corner he turned sharply and
Mrs. McKenon was thrown out, the
buggy passing yer her. The horse
ran along the sidewalk for some dis
lance, finally striking a post, where
Miss Messerschmidt was thrown from
the buggy. The horse kicked loose
from the buggy and ran some distance.
The ladies We're not seriously injured,
although they We're considerably
bruised up The horse was bruised UP
somewhat and the harness was badly
torn up It is fortunate under the
circumstances that neither Of the oc-
cupants of the buggy were seriously
injured.

DAISY HOLIDAY MARRIED.

From the Watertown Public Opinion
we get the following account of the
wedding of a former Bookings girl:
Last night at $50 o'clock at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j.. f. Holiday,
occurred the marriage Of their daugh-
ter, Miss Daisy, to Roy A. Watkins,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Watkins, also
of this city.
The wedding ceremony, which was
performed by Rev A. B. Keller of
the Congregational church, was a
pretty home affair and was solem-
nized in the presence of only the i'm
mediate relatives of the contracting
parties.
Miss Holiday is among Water.
towns most charming young ladies.
Mr.. Watkins is a graduate OF the
Watertown high school and will be
remembered by many as the star ath-
lete during his attendance at the To-
cal school. Both have a host of
friends and are exceedingly popular
in younger society circles.
Mr.. and Mrs. Watkins expect to
remain at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Holiday until the beginning Of the
school year at the State University,
where Mr.. Watkins is in his senior
year in the electrical engineering
course and where they will make
their home until he completes the
same, after which he expects to en-
gage in the electrical business in
some location to be chosen later.
A luncheon vas served following
the ceremony. by the brides mother,
after which the guests remained to
spend the evening with the newly
weds.

BIG RECEPTION
FOR BR|CTS0N
WELL KNOWN MANUFACTURER
is GIVEN HEARTY WELCOME
BY FELLOW CITIZENS
ADVERTISED BOOKINGS ABROAD
Twin City to Helena Tour Was a Bio
Advertisement for This City, as
Well as Brictson Treads

O. A. Brictson's fellow citizens to
the number of several hundred turned
out Monday evening to welcome him
home and chow their appreciation
OF the fact that Brookings is the
Home of the Brictson Tread. Mr..
Brictson has just returned home from
the Twin City to Helena automobile
tour, during which the Brictson tread
again demonstrated that it is one of
the most valuable utilities in the
automobile field and won unstinted
praise from every participant in the
tour. The Brictson machine. equipped
with these treads, came through the
tour with absolutely no tire trouble
and W ! , the only machine to thus es-
cape this annoyance. This fact was
heralded throughout the country by
the representatives of the press,
who made the trip in the Brictson
car.
No only did the Brictson tread re-
NtINt al al sc dliOuhl oI NdludDlt du-
vertising, but Brookings, as the home
of the Brictson Manufacturing Com
pany, came in for a goodly share OF
this valuable publicity. This adver-
Using was of a character that could
not be purchased, and for that reason
was especially valuable to the city.
The Commercial Club had the re-
ceptiOn in charge and every detail
vas so carefully looked after that the
affair passed OFF in fine shape. The
first event OF the evening was the
automobile parade. which formed on
Sixth street and t~raversed the prirci-
pal streets Of the city. Over fifty
machines e In line and nearly
every every n of them was equipped
with the Brictson tread. which Is
about as valuable a testimonial as
the tread could have. The parade
came to an end at the school house
ground, where the band played sev-
eral selections and talks were made.
President Harris OF the Commercial
Club explained the object Of the re-
ception and likened Mr.. Brictson to
the victorious general who returns
from a successful campaign to receive
the plaudits Of the people. Philo
Hall followed with a fine boosting
talk. in which he explained the ad.
vantages OF having an institution like
the BrictsOn Manufacturing company
located in our city. Mr.. Brictson
made a short talk, expressing his ap-
probation for the enthusiastic well
come home. Little Thelma Brictson,
who accompanied Mr.. Brictson, on the
Twin City-Helena tour. sat on the
platform and shared the hOnOrs Of the
evening with her father.

CALL is

On Sunday the congregation OF the
First Presbyterian church extended a
call to Rev. A. +. Won Tobel OF Penn
s%ylvania, and 1t is expected that he
will accept. Mr.. Won TObeI spoke in
Brookings some weeks ago and made
a most favorable impression upon his
hearers. He is a splendid talker, as
well as a polished, Christian gentle
man and the church Is fortunate in
its selection. He made a trip to the
Pacific coast to visit a brother and on
his journey he spoke in three differ
ent cities. Each church where he
spoke extended him a call. which is
a pretty good testimonial of his abil-

BR0OKINGS DAY
AT STATE FAIR
THIS COUNTY WILL SEND BIG
DELEGATION TO HURON ON
SEPTEMBER 10.
ENTIRE COUNTY WILL Be ON HAND
Railroad Has Granted a One Fare
Rate for Round Trip-Fair Prom
ises to Be Big One This Year

The advertising manager for the
State Fair, who recently made Brook
ings county with a special car, reports
that the crop conditions in u coun-
calities in the state have better pros
poets of securing first place in the
list of county exhibitors. These adj
vertising cars have run over all parts
of the state, and have made quite a
study of crop conditions.
The Brookings county day is We'd
nesday, the 18th of September. Spe-
cial trains will run for Brookings
county boosters, leaving Brookings at
700 A. NJ. and returning from Huron
at the same hour in the evening.
This will give the Brookings county
aggregation a full day at the fair.
1t has been noised abroad that Brook
ings county is going to spread her
self at the state fair, and other To-
calities are beginning to sit up and
take notice. In view of this fact, it
is up to the county to make good
these reports with the very best ex-
hibits possible and a liberal turnout
on Brookings county day. There will
be something doing from start to
finish, for this is to be the grandest
fair in the history of the state. The
attractions and exhibits will be the
best and most extensive ever secured,
including the Curtis aeroplane, which
will make sensational flights every
day of the week; the Indian village
of five hundred native Sioux, with
their brillian- ~.-?ppings, weird man.
neuvers, moonlight war-dance and
village life; thu Parker Amusement
Company; the sheep dog trials and
attractions imported from Scotland;
the largest race meet in the history
of the west, and special features Of
the night shows IN the fair grounds.
The Morrell Packing Company of
Sioux Falls offers 5000 in premiums
for hog prizes at the South Dakota
State Fair. This will do a great deal
to interest farmers in raising first
class bacon and ham hogs, and is
bound to get a hearty response from
exhibitors. The type of bacon hogs
will be judged on the following points:
first, long body; second, deep body;
third, small head; fourth, light
shoulders; fifth, we'll developed hams;
sixth, good width between hind legs,
giving oom for a well-cushioned ham;
seventh, square, narrow back. both
sides parallel and slightly arched
from shoulders to hind quarters:
eighth, strong, springy legs, standing
we'll upon the toes. Since South Da-
kota is becoming known as the lead
ing corn state in the Union. it should
logically follow that she should raise
the finest bacon stock in the world.

A GOOD EXAMPLE TO FOLLOW.

Harry Gillett has a mile Of good
road past his place that he has been
giving his personal attention with a
split log drag. The road is in fine
shape and has gained much favorable
comment. Mr.. Gillett has not spent
a great deal of time on the road, but
has been careful and conscientious in
mis- work and the results speak for
themselves. We wish other enter
prising farmers would follow his eX-
ample.

MORE MOISTURE.

We had another splendid rain sun
day evening and later in the night
more moisture fell, so that We can
not kick about dry weather any more
The rains have had the effect OF
bringing the lawns along, az well as
being a fine thing for the late corn
potatoes and pastures. IL fact, y
seems as though We e. having an
other spring, so green and springlike
does everything look.

"A MANSION OF THE DEAD"

Bookings is TO have a beautiful
m~ausoleum. a movement TO that end
having been started yesterday. Messrs.
Naylor and King of the South Dakota
Mausoleum company of WATERFOWL,
are in the city in charge of the propo-
sition and they have met with such en-
enlargement that they tell us that
the construction of the building is
assured. The mausoleum is to be
built in Greenwood cemetery and work
will be started just as soon as the
necessary canvass of the city is made
The BrOokings mausoleum, a hand
some picture of which will be on dis
play in some store window, will be
40XS7 feet. The building will be of
cement construction, with an exterior
of Kasota or Bedford stone and the in
terror OF polished white marble. 1t
will be provided with about two hun
dred individual crypts. A chapel will
be built in the building. where fun
eral services may be held, and there
will also be a rest room and a re-
ceiving vault. After the building Is
completed an endowment fund will be
set aside to assure the building per
petual care.
The mausoleum will comply with the
sanitary laws Of the state and city
in every respect. IN the first place
each individual crypt. when the body
is placed therein the marble slab her
metally sealed, is air tight. In the
back of each crypt and opening into
a ventilation pipe, is a valve simple
in construction ana that will last for
ever This valve opens on a pressure
alright pipe running back Of each
row Of crypts, which is turn connects
with another air-tight pipe which
leads to a disinfecting plant within
the structure, in a separate part there
of, and passes through a solution Of
formaldehyde and a cotton cushion,
thence it is discharged at the top of
the building. This process absolutely
destroys all germs and gases.
The construction of mausoleums is
the better way of caring for the dead
and just at the present time hundreds
of them are being constructed through
out the country, so hat Brookings will
be in line with this progressive move
ment. The mausoleum idea is a re-
vival Of the medieval entombment,
which during the dark ages was ne
elected and there was given to us the
present barbaric method of earth in
terment. The new method is a dis
tinct advancement in civilization, and
we are glad to know that Brookings
will be the third South Dakota city
to have one. Messrs. King and Naylor
have been assured Of the warm approval
Of many of our leading citizens Of
this progressive idea, and we are glad
to know this, as it is something that
is a benefit to the community at large.

A GOOD DISPLAY.

The First National bank has a fine
display of fruits, vegetables, grains
and grasses in the front window and
It demonstrates that the crop in
Brookings county is a long ways from
a failure. Most Of the stuff is as good
as was ever raised in this county and
shows that the dry weather did not
affect us a great deal. No especial
effort was made 70 collect the samples,
they being brought in by different
parties and nearly every section Of
the county Is represented.

COOK PROBING
CATSUP SUPPLY
STATE FOOD COMMISSIONER is
AFTER VIOlATORS OF THE
FOOD LAW
VERY Few BRANDS ARE WHOLESOME
Out Of Over Forty Different Brands
Examined Only Eight Are Found
Fit for Consumption

DR. A. y. Cook, pure food commits
sioner, has just issued a very import
ant bulletin on catsup (ketchup), five
thousand of which have been printed
and vii! be distributed 10 citizens Of
the state, retailers and wholesalers
a Y a Vermillion dispatch. lnvestiga-
tons made in the chemical labcra.
tory at the state university show
that most OF the catsup on sale in the
state is made from partly rotten to-
matoes. A very large part of the
catsup has been prepared from skins,
cuttings containing rotten spots, and
refuse of all kinds from the canning
tables. which the best manufacturers
allow to run into the sewer. This
obviously unfit material is allowed TO
partially rot through negligence and
indifference, preserved with benzoate
of soda to prevent complete decom-
position, put into barrels or other
containers, and worked up into cat
sup later in the season. Most manu-
facturers in the past have seemed to
think it a matter of Indifference as
to what kind of material was used
in catsup, so long as the bad taste and
odor of decomposition could be con-
cealed by a large amount of spice
and vinegar and they we're not inter
ferred with by food officials. A few
manufactures of catsup, however,
have been preparing a good, clean,
wholesome article, but such is the
exception and not the rule. Out of
about forty different brands on sale.
in the state, not more than eight
were found which were fit for human
consumption.
South Dakota has been the most ag-
gressive of all the states in he mat
ter of catsup. but no doubt other
states will follow as oon as the sit
uation is disclosed.
Much has been done in a quiet way
with manufactures and wholesalers
for the past three months 70 protect
the state; hundreds of dollars worth
of bad catsup have been condemned
and shipped out of the state, and
many thousands of dollars worth
have been prevented from being
shipped into the state. The depart
ment is now taking a step farther
and a warning is issued in this bulle-
tin that all parties found selling IL
legal catsup, shipped into the state
after August Z, will be recommended
for prosecution. 1t is the purpose Of
the commissioner to clear the state
of dirty, filthy catsup at the earliest
possible date. All manufacturers and
wholesalers doing business in South
Dakota have had warning by cores
~pOndence several months since and
there will be no legitimate excuse
from the standpoint Of ignorance.
The food department will go after
bad catsup with the same vigor as in
case of rotten eggs, adulterated lin
seed oil, watered oysters, sausage
and several lines which have not
been made quite SO public but which
however, were none the less far
reaching and important.

lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
which first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes the
nature of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness. for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Even the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tism, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, indamed muscles, he may consider in
dications of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colored or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scanty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.

your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
