is LAID AT REST.

The funeral of Mrs. Harriet f.. Stone,
whose death occurred on Wednesday
of last week, was held from the First
Presbyterian church Friday afternoon,
the remains were inferred beside those
her husband in Greenwood cemetery.
Harriet r. Pike was born January s,
S39, at Elgin, ILL.,, and died Wednesday
morning, February 8, 1911, at the age
of seventy4two years and n month.
She was married to Samuel w. Stone
in September, 1856. To them were
born eight children, Mrs. w. e. Arm
old, Gary; Arthur Stone, Aurora; Mrs.
c. H. Davis, Elkton; Mrs. F. r. Baker,
Aurora; Mrs. c. II. Moore, s.. Paul,
Mimi; Mrs. A. b. Hanson, %Brookings.
The other two died in infancy.
Three brothers survive her, Arson
Pike Of Pipestone, Mimi; Luther Pike
Of Holland, Mimi, and Jacob Pike,
who has lived with her for the last
three years. These three brothers are
the only remaining one of a family
of thirteen.
Mrs. Stone had been in poor health
for the past eight weeks, but was not
considered dangerous until a few
hours before her death, and early be
fore the dawn of day her life went
out, leaving the home in sadness and
gloom. She was a faithful, loving
wife and a kind and devoted mother.
The relatives from out of town at
tending the services were: Samuel
Arnold, Gary; Mrs. r. c. Peters, St.
Paul, Mimi; Mrs. Ben Bruflat, Hayti;
Alfred Arnold, Hendricks, William
Leary, jamestown, n. d., grand chill
dren of deceased.

with the service furnished by the
North Western, but there is no ques-
ton of the advantage of having COM
peting lines.
direct to Mitchell by way of Stick
ney. From there the road goes in a
northeasterly direction to Mitchell,
through Canova, Madison, Rutland
and up the west side Of Lake Camp
bell to Brookings. From here the
road would go northeast, probably
striking Bushnell, to Marshall. The
line would be something over two
hundred miles long and would tap
some of the best sections of the state,
sections that at present have no rail-
road connections.
There is some speculation as TO
whether the company behind the road
is an independent one or is backed by
one of the big systems, and it seems
to be the general opinion that either
the Great Northern or Milwaukee is
back of the deal. The line presum-
ably ends at Marshall, where it would
have connection with the main lines of
the Great Northern, which looks as
though Jim Hill's great system might
be interested. However, it will he
noticed that the proposed line starts
at Platte, which is the terminus of a
Milwaukee line, and touches at Stick
ney, another Milwaukee terminus. 1t
also passes through Mitchell and Mad
isOn, which are strong Milwaukee
towns. The main line of the Milwau-
kee to the coast is only about thirty
miles north of Marshall and it would
be very easy to make that connection.
However, the question of ownership is
not of great importance, all that is
necessary is that the line be built
and built through Brookings. We
don't want to make the mistake of a
few years ago by passing up this
railroad, and if everyone who is able
boosts a little it will come easy.

The house railroad committee, af-

Delegates from commission gov

sidered municipal problems, such as
the judicial function of the commission
and reducing the number of commits
sioners to three.
A committee consisting of Judge A.

of Aberdeen, and d. j. Conway of
Sioux Falls was instructed to draft
bills on these subjects and an accept
able substitute for the Sherman
measure enabling a minority to re-
quire city improvem hts. No formal
resolutions We're adopted.
Senator McPherson's bill raising
the pay of county commissioners in
counties with over $4,000 popula+ on
met it's death by a vote of 20 to IA.
Wyman could see no reason why a
commissioner in a large county
should receive a greater per diem
than his contemporary in a smaller,
because the character of the work
is virtually the same. Several SEN
ators expressed the same opinion,
and suggested that an increase in the
total per diem a year would solve
the problem. Gandy's amendment to
increase the commissioners mileage
from 5 to 10 cents carried, but on roll
call the original motion lost.
The house printing committee re-
ported Curtiss' bill for the state print
ing of constitutional amendments to
the committee of the whole without
recommendation and for consideration
under special orders. The sentiment
of the house at present would prob
ably pass this bill by a good majority.

FARMERS ARE PROSPEROUS.

To our mind one of the best evil
dences that the farmers of Brookings
county are prosperous is the fact that
they pay their bills by check. For
some years We have noticed that they
have been paying their subscriptions
by personal check and this year this
was more in evidence than ever be-
fore. Nearly oil of the farmers who
pay their subscriptions promptly seem
to have a bank account and it is pre-
sumed that they pay their other bills
by the same method. W. know at
least that their checks are promptly
honored and we get our money
There is nothing more gratifying to
us than to know we are living in a
country where farming pays and the
farmers of this county are fast dis
tancing the business men In aquiring
wealth-there Is no doubt about it..

FROM THE 'FRONT.'.

The special correspondent of the
Register, with the State College Glee
Club and Orchestra, writes as fol
lows:
Believing that readers of the Regis
ter will be interested in knowing how
the State College Glee and Orchestra
tourists have been getting along with
their enterprise, we will give a brief
review of our tour to date.
Leaving Brookings Wednesday
noon on the freight, We arrived at
Lake Preston about the middle of the
afternoon. Our evenings concert
there was attended by a large and ap-
preciative audience. Nearly every
number was encored, and this being
our initial appearance before the pub
lie we felt especially gratified. The
next morning we boarded the six
O'Clock passenger train for Huron.
Our manager, Mr.. Akin, secured
hotel accommodations for us at the
Kent Depot hotel n we were highly
pleased with the service received
there. We viewed the city in the
forenoon; then in the afternoon sew
eral members of our party very pleas
antly spent a few hours roller skating.
Our audience that evening was
smaller than we expected. We went
to Miller on the following morning
and our concert there was very we'll
attended. And now we will tell a
good story on Randall. The stage car
penter was greatly pleased with
Franks trombone solo, and after eX-
pressing his appreciation of same to
some of the glee members, he re-
marked, He is a farmer, too, isn't
hep
1--WE left for Pierre at 1870 that
same night arriving at the capital
city at about 2 O'Clock in the morning.
Mr.. Akin took us to the new St.
Charles hotel, which is the largest
and most elaborate hotel in the city,
and is the social and political center
of Pierre. We spent a large part of
the day in viewing the capitol, and
We indeed regard it a great credit to
the state. We met DR.. Slagle and
he took us in to the governors Office
and introduced us all to Gov. Vessey.
We spent some time in taking in the
city, which has many interesting feat
ures. Our concert that evening was
very we'll attended and was certainly
greatly appreciated. Our orchestra
played at the Locke hotel for the
Sunday dinner and the guests there
felt most highly entertained with the
music. We are now enroute to De-
Smet. We are having a most enjoy
able time and greatly appreciate the
trip. Much more could lie said, but
time forbids further mention. We as
sure all that We will give a fine con-
cert in our college city next Friday
evening"

THE LAST SAD RITES.

The funeral of the late James Nolan,
whose death occurred at Montrose on
Tuesday of last week, was held at the
Catholic church in this city Saturday
moning, requiem mass being Gel
ebrated by the pastor, Rev. w. T.
Shean, and a large cOncourse of neigh
bors and friends were in attendance.
The remains We're taken to FL Paso,
ILL.,, the former home of the deceased,
whore interment was made Sunday af-
ternoon.
James Nolan was born in Peoria
county, Illinois, December 22, 1916, and
he made his home there for over forty
years. He was married at FL Paso
to Miss Katherine Walsh October 10,
1876. In March, 1889, they removed
to Palo Alto county, Iowa, which was
their home until early in 1907, when
the family came to Brookings, where
they have since resided.
Mr.. Nolan leaves to mourn his loss
his wife and a fine family of seven
children, as fellows: Charles, Anna,
William, Leo, Francis and Mrs. B. O
Symes of Brookings, and Mrs. Laura
Flavin of Thermopolis, Wyo.
Mr.. Nolan was raised in the Catholic
church and remained a faithful mem
Der to the end. He was a kind hus
band and father and a good citizen
and his sudden death is a source O
grief not only to the family, but tn,
community as well.

R. R.
PROPOSITION
is PUT UP TO THE PEOPLE OF
BROOkINGS.
PLATTE TO MARSHALL LINE
THROUGH MITCHELL, MADISON
AND OTHER GOOD TOWNS.

The people of Brookings have an
other railroad proposition before them,
one We believe they should accept
without delay. 1t is the proposed
steam line from Platte, in Charles Mix
county, to Marshall, Mimi, and which
win pass through Mitchell and Mad
ison. Last Friday G. A. Magee, repre-,
senting the people back of the road,
held two meetings in this city and cX-
the undertaking.
The proposition as explained by Mr..
Magee is one that BroOkings cannot
afford to pass up. The promoters will
expect that Brookings will subscribe a
certain sum, which the speaker dill
nOJ name, toward the road, for WhICn
stock, common or preferred in the
road will be issued. Not a cent Of this
money will q due until the line has
heen completed and is in working
order, although of course a guarantee
will have to be given the road that
the money will be forthcoming when
a. completes its part Of the agreement.
1t is hard to see how any proposition
could be fairer than this one, and the
town has nothing to lose and every
thing to gain by accepting it. 1t puts
the burden entirely upon the shoulders
Of the road and if they fail to com
plete the line they canno collect a
dollar.
The business men and citizens gen
orally look upon the proposition with
favor and it is likely that any reason
able amount of money can be secured.
Other towns along the line seem to
feel the same way and if the promoters
mean business, and there is every eNi.
dence that they do, the road looks like
a certainty.
There is no question but what Brook
ing needs the road and needs it badly.
No town along the line of the pro-
BcSNo Acoo hCSNO idh We w
and we should go to almost any length
to get it. Mr.. Magee said that it was
bound to be built, as the necessary
capital is already in sight, and it is
simply a question Of whether Brook
ings wants it to pass through the town
or through some other town a few
miles away. The promoters would
like to bring the road to Brookings, as
it is the largest and best town in this
if We don't want it the road can run
to the south or north of us.
Mr.. Magee said that the bonds had
already been sold to a Baltimore bank
ing house and that work on the line
would start about the first of April,
and that it would be completed Octo-
Der /. 1t is expected hat they will
follow the survey of the road made
two years ago, and an engineering
corps will be sent out in a few days
to make the final survey.
The line would give direct connec.
lions with the Twin Cities by way Of
the Great Northern road at Marshall
and it is expected that the running
time between Brookings and St. Paul
would be reduced over two hours. But
the greatest benefit would come from
a competitive line and consequent re-
duced freight rates. Brookings has
not had a great deal Of fault to find

INSTITUTE IS
A BIG SUCCESS
ANNUAL FARMERS SCHOOL is A
GOOD ONE.
THE MEMBERSHIP IS DOUBLED
THE PROGRAM is FEATURED BY
MANY STRONG ADDRESSES.

The annual institute of the Brook
ings County Farmers Institute Asso-
citation came to a close on Saturday
evening, after the most successful
series OF meetings ever held. The at
tendance during the four days a
excellent and the membership of the
the last institute was held , years ago.
The first two days program was
taken up by local talent and the last
two days the state institute corps was
present. The addresses were all of
timely interest to the farmers and the
impromptu discussion of different
farm topics We're especially interest
ing and profitable.
The prizes offered by the ~associa-
ton brought a fine display of grain
and the competition was keen. The
awards were as follows:
Corn-Yellow dent, best ten ears,
II. NJ. ~Sanderson, first; Fred Killing
second. Best single ear Prentice,
first; Fred Killing, second, White
dent, best ten ears-C. h.. Leekley,
first; Geo. Etting, second. Best single
ear-C, l.. Leekley, first; Geo. Etting,
second.
Wheat: Velvet chaff-W. II. Don
aldson, first and second. Blue stem
Harry Kennard, first; John Messer-
schmidt, second.
Barley-H. S. Stevens, first; John
Messerschmidt, second.
~Oats-Frank Sherwin, first; F. w.
Johnson, second.
Timothy and fiax-F. w. Johnson,
first and second.
Spletz and millet-H. l. Stearns,
first and second.
Potatoes: Early variety - Elmer
Kennard. Late Variety. Prentice.
The scoring of yellow dent corn did
not meet with the approval of the
beard Of directors, or in fact with any
one else who viewed the corn. The
board held a meeting Tuesday after
noon and it vas the e of
opinion that the first prize in this
variety should have gone to Fred Rill-
ing, who in their opinion, had by far
the best corn in the lot. However, as
the award had been made the board
did What thnu could dr. tn undo the
damage by passing a resolution to
the effect that in their opinion a mis-
take had been made in not awarding
first prize to the Killing exhibit.
The old officers We're unanimously
elected for another year, as follows:
President, Frank Sherwin; v~ice-presi-
dent, H. /. Stearns; secretary, G. n.
kennard; treasurer, E. G. Sheldon.
The following board of directors were
elected; Frank Sherwin, H. I. Stearns,
E. c. Sheldon, G. n. Kennard, Fred
Killing.
In addition to the day sessions even
ing meetings were held on Friday and
Saturday. On Friday evening w. D..
Mckee talked on "The Rural Schools"
and John Robertson on Fruits" On
Saturday evening Hon. Andrew Elliott
of Ontario, Canada, gave a very inter-
esting address, taking for his subject,
