O'Rourke became aware that the cur

there was no draught. And beneath
their edge he saw two feet-two small,
bewitching feet in the daintiest and
most absurd Of evening slippers, with
an inch or SO OF silken stockings show

Des Trebes' eyes, filled with an ex-
preston unspeakably offensive, met

ANOTHER MINE STORY TO
HAVE USUAL ENDING?


McCurtain, Okla, March a.
This is a town of mourning today
--of weeping women, of orphaned
children, of black despair and Bit
terneSS. .
- Of the one hundred and sixteen
men who were trapped in the San
Bots mine when it burst into
fame Wednesday, one hundred
and seven have been accounted
for.
twenty-five are living.
The blackened bodies of fifty
two have been carried from the
pit mouth and claimed by weep
ing relatives.
The bodies of twenty-nine
others have been located, lying
under heaped piles of debris.
Nine are still missing. There
is not one chance in one thousand
that one of them is alive.
The burying of the dead began,
a pitiful work, carried out with
indecent haste.
In rough, hastily put together
boxes twenty-seven bodies were
lowered into graves dug by rail
road construction gangs pressed
into service for the occasion.
The funerals went on all day
long. Behind each rough coffin
came little group of mourners,
almost always women-pale-
faced widows, and gray-haired
mothers, and sweethearts with
faces drawn and white.
The people of the town avert
ed their faces as each pitiful pro-

suddenly and horribly not only of
those they loved, but of those
upon whom they depended for
bread.
The cemetery was a scene of
utter desolation. It's white COW
ering of snow was trampled and
muddied. Open graves, and men
dressed in overalls digging more
open graves!
And here and there a woman,
lying prone on the cold earth of
a filled in grave, sobbing quietly,
or wailing aloud in hysteria.
Early today a cold rain and
sleet began to fall. 1t drenched
the clothes of the mourners and
added to the horror.

D. OF r.. CONVENTION

The Degree of Honor Of this district
held its annual convention at the lodge
hall in this city Tuesday afternoon
and evening. There was a large mum
Der Of visiting delegates and the con
v~entiOn was a very profitable as well
as enjoyable affair for the members.
Bushnell and Brookings constitute the
lodges of this district and they were
all represented, and delegates from
WatertOwn and Clear Lake were also
present. The convention was bonored
by the presence of the superior chief
of honor, Mrs. Francis Buell. Olson Of
st. Paul, who made two addresses.
The afternoon meeting was called to
order by Mrs. Emma G.. Thayer of
B~rookings, grand chief of honor of
South Dakota. The address of vel
come was made by Mrs. Marvin, chief
of honor of Brookings lodge, with a re-
Spouse by Mrs. Cowen of Iroquois.
An interesting talk was made by Mrs.
Fitzgerald of WATERFOWL, grand usher,
and papers were read by delegates
representing each of the towns. The
minutes Of the last convention we're
read by Mrs. Fox of BrOokings, and
Mrs. Olson closed the session with an
address.
At the evening session a large class
Of new members were taken into the
order, after which a splendid address
was made by Mrs. Olson. Members
of the A. O. L. w. were admitted to
this session.
Dinner and supper were served at
the hall for the visiting delegates, and
a fine luncheon was prepared by the
ladies following the evening meeting.

CONDITION Of
STATE BANKS
SOUTH DAKOTA BANK EXAMIN.
ER'S REPORT is ONE OF
INTEREST.
A VAST IMPROVEMENT IS SHOWN
Financial Situation in State Is Much
Better Than Last Year-Wiii be Bet
ter When The Crop Money Comes.

From the advance sheets of the
forthcoming report Of Public Exam
iner Wingfield, the condition of the
state banks is shown to be vastly i'm
proved over that made in the June
report, and a comparison of the same
makes a fine showing for the banks,
says a Mitchell dispatch. The report
is made under the September call OF
the national banks, and at that date
the undivided profits amounted to 81
1874, $3.50, with 81, S46,279.7S for June.
The total deposits for September are
$51 ,962,323.13, while in June they We're
SAL, 934,7S3.61, making an increase Of
81 100000. The Reserve or cash for
September was ST., 1893, O46. &c, and for
June it was $~14,427 ,313.71, due largely
to the checking accounts. The in.
crease of the reserve is 2b per cent
over the former statement issued. The
checking accounts also indicate a fine
increase, with the September report
showing $21, ~950,636.O9 90, and the June
reports amounting to 1896 1895.
Public Examiner Wingfield expects
to send out the complete report of the
state and national banks in the course
Of two or three weeks. The financial
condition in the state is much i'm
proved over a year ago, and with the
results OF the big crop to be heard
from later in the season South Da-
kota's outlook could not well be i'm
proved upon.

McCOY-GRANGE

Simplicity marked the details of a
quiet home wedding which took place
yesterday morning at 1870 o'clock, at
the home of Mrs. Ella r. Grange,
when her daughter, Irene, was united
in marriage to Claude l.. Mccoy, the
ceremony eng performed by Rev.
DR.. Doherty of the Episcopal church.
Following the ceremony a wedding
luncheon was served by the sisters of
the bride, and the young couple left
on the afternoon train for Brookings
where they will go at once to house
keeping. Only the immediate rela-
tives OF the contracting parties were
present at the wedding. besides the
members Of the brides family, there
We're the groom's parents and young
est brother, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. V. Mccoy
and son Ermand, of Brookings, also
his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Loomis of Hawarden, Iowa.
The bride has grown to woman
hood in Flandreau and has endeared
herself to all in her home town. While
a student in our high school she made
"A success of public speaking and at
one time represented Flandreau at a
state oratorical contest. Later she
attended All Saints School at Sioux
Falls, where she won high honor for
excellence in her studies. Since leav-
ing school she has taught successfully
in Moody county. The groom is well
and fayorably known here, having
spent several years in the office Of
Attorney Ira f. Blewitt, where he
studied law and was later admitted to
the state bar. Last spring he severed
his business relations at Flandreau
and returned to Brookings, his home
town, where he is now in the abstract
and law business. Mr.. and Mrs. Nc
Coy are young people Of many excel
lent qualities, about whom the charms
of youth and goodness cast a radiant
glow.-Flandreau Enterprise.

THE ALL STAR ARTISTS

The Garnett Hedge All Star Artists
course is the talk of the entire com
munity, and the following are some of
the expressions heard in passing:
Il heard the Celebrated Zoellner
Quartet in Berlin, Germany, and | was
glad to pay the price of $3.50 for a
ticket, they had a capacity house, their
playing was wonderful."-Prof. Miller.
Others have said, This is a treat
that Brookings seldom has the oppOr-
tunity of hearing, and you can count
on my support"
How is it possible to get such an
excellent course with such well known
artists at the price Of $3.50 for a
season of six concerts?"
"Brookings is certainly favored in
having this excellent course, just
think what it would cost if We had the
opportunity of hearing these artists in
cities like Minneapolis, or Chicago,
each attraction would not cost lie S
than $1.00 and up to $3.50 for a single
seat, and here we have brought to
our very door six big concerts for
$3.50"
The foregoing are only a very few
of the like expressions that are heard
and it VIII depend upon the students
and the townspeople to show if they
really want such a course to be a per
manent institution in Brookings.
Mr.. Hedge has spent weeks in pre-
pairing and arranging this course and
he is willing to work to the last ditch
in making this a great success, but he
cannot do it single handed and if
every one interested in such an excel
lent work will lend a helping hand,
anu ven go farther by putting their
shoulder to the wheel and make it go
with a good turn, a course as good or
better will be offered each year.
Season tickets may be secured from
Mr.. Lynn S. Bartlett, Mr.. Peterson,
Mr.. Hedge, or at Kendall's drug store.

SHOULD WELD SINGLE

There have been several complaints
to the Register lately Of the lawlcss-
ness OF some of the boys of the city.
They gather nightly in gangs and go
about the city, throwing rocks at
houses. pounding on the doors, putting
tick-tacks on the windows, piling
barrels and boxes in the yards and
committing other acts of lawlessness.
The other night a widow lady was
severely frightened by these young
ruffians pounding on the doors and
windows, and it is about time for the
police authorities to act, the parents
seemingly taking no interest in the
matter.

COLLEGE NEWS

The college students and faculty
held an enthusiastic meeting in the
chapel on Tuesday evening OF last
week, the principal object being to
enthuse the student body to a suflic-
lent pitch so that more men would get
out and try for the football team. 1t
seems to have accomplished it's pur-
pose in good shape, as three full
teams have been out nearly every
evening since. The coach has been
up against a pretty hard proposition
this fall, being new to conditions here
and having "A green squad to work
with. The team may not be a consist
ent winner this year., but Mr.. Ewing
should lay the foundation for a great
team for the next and following sea-
sons.
The college team had little to crow
over after their game with the Old
Stars on Monday evening. The Old
Fellows gave them the fight Of their
life and if the Stars should take a
notion to get out and practice a week
there would be something of a slaugh-
ter in the e game.
The United Presbyterian and NJ. E.
churches gave receptions to the col
lege students on Friday evening. A
large number were in attendance at
each and they were very pleasant
affairs.
The Art Club has elected the fol-
lowing officers: President, Mr.. Oak
land; secretary, Miss Goddard; treas-
urer, Mr.. Bisby. The club will study
the modern American painters this
year.
The football team plays the state
university at Vermillion the coming
Saturday. The game will be played
under the rules laid down by the re-
gents, which means that the univer-
sity will not use the half dozen or so
men who are ineligible.
The s~tock-judging team, accompan-
led by Prof. Larsen, went to Chicago
this week to attend the national dairy
show and participate in the judging
contests. There will be no Taft Cup
to win this year, but there will be
some good prizes and the team is con-
fident of making as good a showing as
the Brookings boys did last year.
The C~ollegian conducted a straw
vote among the student body and
faculty this week and the result will
be published in the next issue. The
girls were allowed to vote and its
a cinch that the handsomest candi-
date will show considerable strength
when the result Is made known.
The school of agriculture will open
the coming week and about 200
"Aggies" are expected.
