followed a picnic dinner rendered to
the young people and their friends by
Miss Stedman, the county superintend-
ent, on the college campus, and it
was one of the most ENJOYABLE fea-
lures of the day. The young people
listened TO a splendid address by Or.

had been in progress two weeks under
the direction Of DR.. Brigham of the
college faculty, and Miss Stedman,
the county superintendent. Nearly
n hundred and fifty teachers were
enrolled and the excellent teaching
force and the interest manifested by
the teacher made it one of the most
successful institutes ever held here.

MRS. A. G. YOUNG DIES.

Word was received here Friday Of
the death of Mrs. A. G.. Young, which
occurred at Portland, Oregon On
Thursday. Mrs. Young and her daugh-
ter, Miss Hattie had gone to the coast
last fall to visit the Carlisle and Bull
len families in the hope that the
change of climate would be benefi-
cial to Mrs. Young's health. She was
some better for a time, but had been
confined to her bed continuously the
last two months.
The remains arrived here Tuesday
night, accompanied by C. H. Bullen,
and the funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church yesterday after
noon and was largely attended by the
old friends and neighbors of the fam
lily. Rev. Hugh Robinson, former pas
tor Of the church, came from Pawnee
City, Neb., to conduct the services,
and he paid a beautiful tribute TO the
memory Of the deceased. She was
laid at rest beside her husband in
Greenwood.
Mrs. Young, whose maiden name
was Mary A. Alling, was born at
Antrim, Mich, August "a, 1910. On
April &c, 1861 she was married to
ANGUS Gould Young, who preceded
her to the better land nearly three
years ago. Four children survive her,
Mrs. F. J. Carlisle. Mrs. C. II. Bullen
and Miss Hattie Young OF Portland,
Oregon, and Prof. G.. A. Young of
Lafayette, Indiana. Mrs. Young came
TO Lake Benton, Mimi. with her hus-
band in 1881, making their home
there until 1888, when they moved to
Brookings.
Mrs. Young was a kind, charitable
woman, and took a prominent part
in the different activities OF the First
Presbyterian church during her long
residence here. She was highly re-
spected and loved by all who knew
her, and her death will be sincerely
mourned by the many old friends Of
the family.

that the order was made the com

lieYed to be material reductions in

AS the wreck of the Battleship
Maine is brought closer and closer
10 the surface, the opinions of experts
seem to more thoroughly agree that
the explosion which caused the wreck
was from within the ship itself. Gen.
eral BiXby, Chief Of the Engineers Of
the Army, who has just returned from
Havana, unqualifiedly gives his opin-
ion hat the explosion was not eX-
ternal. Rear Admiral George w.
Melville, L. S. y. retired, has also
offered a statement in which he calls
attention to the fact that since 1902
he has insisted that the explosion was
from within the ship. y board of
naval officers experts of explosives,
is being selected to study the hull of
the Battleship Maine in Havana Har-
Dor, as the water is pumped from the
cofferdam now surrounding the wreck.
The Navy Department is still con
WINGED that the destruction of the
Maine was caused by a torpedo or
mine, and Of course this is laid to the
Spaniards. 1t is explained that an
external explosion might have taken
place which in turn caused a created
internal explosion of the ships maya
zines. This theory would harmonize
all views in reference to the blowing
up of the Maine.
The General in charge of the Cana
dian reciprocity measure in the House
is Senator PenrOse Of Pennsylvania,
and his persistence in keeping the
debate going, aided and abetted by
the torrid weather, has brought about
a sort of test of endurance. This
measure has been practically talked
to death. and yet there are said to
be speeches yet to come that will
require many days to deliver. There
is no indication that a single vote Will
be changed. Reciprocity is to be
voted upon probably within the next
ten days, and it is a settled fact that
it will pass the Senate in exactly the
same manner in which it came from
the House. Following the vote IN the
reciprocity measure there will be a
discussion and vote upon the free list
and wool revision bills.

The Dekoven Male Quartet furnish

The program for the balance Of the
week contains some of the best fea-
lures Of the whole c%hautauqua. This
afternoon Pamahasika and his pets
will entertain the children and their
elders and tonight one Of the stars
of the program, DR.. Edward Amherst
OFT, will appear. Tomorrow afternoon
the big event of the week is a lecture
by Governor Glenn. Governor Glenn
is one of the best speakers in the
country and his address will be a
treat that the people OF Bookings
should not miss. Tomorrow night
EI erett Kemp, monologist will be the
attraction. Saturday afternoon DR..
z. A. Steiner will lecture and Sunday
another treat is in store, when Walt
Holcomb gives his address. The
music is especially good the last three
days. Tomorrow and Saturday the
Ursula Young Concert Company will
entertain chautauqua patrons and
Sunday the Highland Ladies Orchestra
will appear, closing the chautauqua
with a sacred concert Sunday evening,
These two organizations have been
receiving fine notices from around the
circuit.

COMMERCIAL CLUB NOTES.

The business mans creed is, keep
a goin'." If you strike a thorn or
rose, keep a goin'. If it halls or If it
SHOWS, keep a goin'. faint no use
to sit and whine, When the fish amt
on your line; Bait your hook and
keep on trying, keep a going,. When
the weather kills your crop, keep a
eOin', When you tumble from the
top, keep a goin'. Spose you're out
OF every dime? Gettin' broke amt
any crime. Tell the world your feel
in prime, but keep a goin'! And
when it looks like all Is up, keep a
goin'! Drain the sweetness from the
cup, but keep a goin'! See the wild
birds on the wing, Hear the birds that
sweetly sing, When you feel like sigh.
in'-sing, but, keep a goin'. Keep it
in mind. Keep a pushing. Keep a
smiling. It's just as cheap. Brookings
and Brookings county is a good ways
from being on the hummer eve If 1t
is a little dry. This is a fine time to
make a little extra, boosting noise
while some of our large n~eighboring
towns have stopped TO take breath.
The c%hautauqua is a success-A few
good people are missing an opportun-
ity by not attending but the chautau-
qua association Is not to blame for
that. Everyone seems more than
pleased wiSh every number thus far.

The platform manager is DR.. Dent
Atkinson, who fills that position most
a~cceptably. DR.. Atkinson is also Civ
ing a series Of bible lectures at the
which are we'll attended and much
appreciated. Miss Mabel Killing is
in charge Of the classes for the chill
dren and they are getting as much en-
joyment out of the week as their
elders.
The weather this week has been
cool and pleasant. which has added
to the comfort and pleasure Of all,
Many people from the country anG
nearby towns have been present.
The chautauqua was opened on Sat
urday afternoon by a lecture by l..
f. Lybarger. DR.. L~ybarger's subject
was, Land, Labor and Wealth." and
was a most interesting discourse on
many of the problems of national life.
He advanced a remedy for many of
the civic ills and had a new theory
for taxation of corporations and public
utilities, which was somewhat radical,
but would probably work out to the
interests of the people.
The Midland Jubilee Singers furn-
ished the music for the afternoon and
in the evening had the entire pro-
gram to themselves. They were fully
capable of caring for it too, and they
are undoubtedly the best colored sing

the week. Col. G.. A. Gearhart, who
so we'll pleased Brookings people last
year, spoke upon The Coming Man"
Col. Gearhart is a finished orator and
he held his audience from the first
to the last sentence. He pleaded for
an a|ll-arOund manhood, physical, men
tai and moral, and laid great stress
upon the necessity of thrift and IN
ergy. The college man, according to
Col. Gearhart, has the best opportun-
ity of becoming The Coming Man"
The Cavenys We're the attraction
Monday evening and thoroughly enter
tanned a big audience. Mr.. Caveny
is a many-Sided artist and his work
as a c%artOonist, c~lay-modeler and i'm
personator was all as good as the aver
age entertainer who devotes his time
to but one of the subjects. He was
ably assisted by Mrs. Caveny, who
has a beautiful voice and in addition
is an excellent pianist.
Norton's band and orchestra furn-
ished the music for Monday and Tues
day, occupying the entire evening on
the last day. This splendid organiza-
ton was the best musical attraction
last year and they made many new
friends this week. The whistler and

Tuesday afternoon Prof. II. A.
Adrian lectured on The Training of
the Human Plant" Prof. Adrian's ad-
dress was something out Of the or
binary, but was one of the good ones
Of the week. The training and edu-
cation Of the child was treated in a
most interesting and helpful way, and
the lecture should have been heard by
every parent in Brookings.
DR.. l.. b. Wickersham delivered a
splendid address yesterday afternoon,
and it is to be regretted that he did
not have a larger audience. His sub
ject was Day Dreams and he pre-
scented a charming study of the value
of the ordinary day dreams to success
in life. Their value depended, said
DR.. Wickersham, only upon the in
spiration they furnished to actual
achievement.
Last evening the Raweis entertain
ed the chautauqua crowd and did it
well. This family of native New Zeal
anders presented graphically the
change in their country from a savage
land Of sixty years ago to the civiliza-
ton Of today, which supports n Of the
most perfect and democratic govern
ments in the world. Mr.. Rawei de-
