IN SHORT COURSE
FINE ATTENDANCE IN SPECIAL
COURSES OFFERED AT THE
STATE COLLEGE
NEWS Of THE Week At THE COLLEGE
Remarkable Success with Hog Cholera
Serum from Veterinary Depart
ment of the College

About one hundred young men and
IN have assembled at the State
College from all parts of the state to
take advantage of the various short
courses offered at this time of the
year The five months course in steam
engineering, the three months dairy
course, and the two weeks course in
stock, poultry, and grain judging, are
especially popular. The three weeks
course in home economics for young
ladies is gaining in popularity each
winter. The course offered in do
nestle science this year is especially
practical and beneficial. A goodly
number are also taking the three
months course in agriculture.
These short courses are a real boon
to the men and women Of the farms
who are unable to take a vacation
for a longer period of study. The
class room instruction is made prac.
teal so far as possible. BY its win
ter short courses in addition to the
regular four year college courses the
State College aims to reach all classes
of people, and in benetiting everyone,
thereby making itself to be a real SER
want of the state. &
A remarkably successful application
of hog colera serum has just been re-
ported from the southern part of the
state to the veterinary department of
the State college. Last fall DR.. e. L.
Moore of the State college was re-
quested to send hog cholera serum
to the southern part of the state for
treating hogs exposed to the disease.
Now the gratifying report comes that
out of a herd Of sixty head that was
vaccinated only one hog died, and that
n became sick Immediately after
vaccination, None Of the others in
the herd show any signs of taking
the disease. Before vaccination about
twenty of the hogs had died. 1t was
not necessary to separate the sick
from the we'll hogs; in fact leaving
the treated hogs exposed with the sick
ones increased the immunity of the
former.
DR.. Moore, in speaking of this sue
cessful application of the serum states
that it should be borne in mind that
the treatment is preventative, not
curative. 1t is advisable to vaccinate
only well hogs. The serum is not
capable of curing the disease, but may
be safely used for the prevention Of
the cholera. The veterinary depart
ment is called upon frequently for
advice from stockmen from all parts
of he state, and whatever suggestions
and help it has to offer are freely
given.

S. D. TAKES SWEEPSTAKES.

immigration Commissioner j. ID.
Deets, after a two months absence
at the Chicago and st. Paul Land
Shows, advertising South Dakota, has
returned most pleased with the show
ing made by his state in competition
with older commonwealths. AT Chi
cage the exhibition authorities esti-
mate there were 320, 900 visitors, and
Mr.. Deets places the number at the
St. Paul show at 10000. Practically
everyone of these passed the South
Dakota booth, and large numbers ON
versed personally with Mr.. Deets and
his assistants. Says Mr.. Deets: "Prac-
tically every person approached one
in a different way, with a new queS-
ton to answer. Information was
given on nearly every phase of South
Dakota life and industry" Eight. thou

The state took the sweepstakes at
the st. Paul exhibition with the best
ten ear of corn, a prize loving cup
for which is being engraved and soon
will be on exhibition in the state
house. Mr.. Deets says that accord
ing to the corn expert with the Kan
sas exhibit, the South Dakota corn
exhibit at both shows was equal, or
superior to that from any other state.
The state was advertised by folder map
of the state, on the reverse side of
which in concise form was printed
pertinent facts about South Dakota.
Other states supplied highly litho-
graphed folders for the same purpose.
After closing each day bushels and
bushels Of this sort of literature vas
swept up; but during the whole of
the exhibition only one South Da-
kota map was found thus discarded.

DIES ON ANNIVERSARY.

Death claimed another prominent
pioneer of the west when Edward T.
Sheldon, brother-in-law of Justice 0.
r. Huntington of this city, died at his
home, 1872 South Sixteenth street, at
10:30 o'clock this morning. He was
"A years Of age and was a pioneer OF
three states--Iowa, Colorado and
South Dakota. He is survived by his
wife, Mrs. Matte Sheldon; a daugh-
ter, Miss Gladys Sheldon, and five
sons, Harry and Willard Of Colorado
Springs, Bert, George and Frank
Sheldon of South Dakota.
Today was the thirty-sixth anniver-
sary Of the wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
Sheldon and death turned it from
one of joy and celebration to sadness
and despair.
Mr.. Sheldon was a member of the
first legislature of the state of South
Dakota and helped to organize the
state. Later he held a number of i'm
portant state Offices, including that of
regent OF the state college. He
came to Colorado Springs two years
ago. He was taken i'll last February
and from that time on steadily grew
weaker. His death was not unex-
pected.
Definite funeral arrangements have
not been made but the services prob
ably will be held Monday. Interment
will be in Evergreen cemetery

A BUILDING
FOR EDUCATION
TO BE BUILT ON GROUNDS OF
BRooklNGs COUNTY FAIR
ASSOCIATION
SCHOOL CHILDREN TO RAISE FUND
Movement Has Been Started by the
Rural Schools of the County and
Looks Like a Success

The children of the rural schools
of the county have started a move
ment that bids fair to be a huge sue
cess and one that means much to the
educational interests Of the county.
Already in a number of school dis
tricts basket socials have been held
for the purpose of raising a fund to
build an educational building on the
grounds of the Brookings county fair
room the school exhibit of the county
has been obliged to accept cramped
quarters, which does not suit the
schools at all and they have taken
the matte into their own hands, and
the enthusiasm with which they
are going about the matter assures
success
The following schools have already
reported and others will hold their
socials during the coming few
months: District No. 33, Alton town
ship, Rosina Ellicott, teacher, $40;
Medary No. /, Grace Marsham, teach
er, $23.15; Medary No. 60, Sena
Chester, teacher, SIS; Preston No. 4,
Jettie Moe, teacher, SIS; Preston, No.
10, Selma Karlstad, teacher, $26.
The campaign will be carried on
in every school house in the county
during the next few weeks and it is
planned to hold the last social in
Brookings city, at the public school
building and every citizen of the city
will be expected to be present and
buy a basket, g
The school children of Deuel. county
raised a fund of 81 800 for the con
struction of a county educational
building, and there is no good reason
why Brookings county cannot do as
well or better, if everyone takes an
interest and helps to boost.
If the teachers of the various dis
tricis will send in the amount raised
at their socials the Register will be
glad to print it.

SEED TO BE HAULED FREE,

DR.. w. G Smith, a member of the
state board of railroad commissioners,
who has just returned from Chica-
go, has brought the people of that
Missouri river, and of four counties
lying east of the river, good news in
the form of free freight rates on seed
grain which will be needed for the
coming season says a Sioux Falls dis
patch.
The railroads which have consented
to grant free freight rates on seed
grain hauled to those portions of
South Dakota mentioned are the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy, the Chi
cago and Northwestern, the Fort
Pierre and Rapid City, the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul and the
Minneapolis and st. Louis.
After en%umerating. the above rail-
roads which have granted the rate,
DR.. Smith stated that they have
agreed to haul to county commission
ers in the counties tributary to their
lines west of the Missouri river in
car lots, free of freight charges, seed
grain from Minneapolis and points on
their line in eastern South Dakota,
who will buy and distribute the seed
grain at the price at point Of loading,
so that the farmer will get the benefit
of the free freight"
The counties east of the Missouri
river to which the free rate applies
are Faux. Edmunds. Mcpherson and
Walworth.

BOOKS FOR THE LIBRARY.

At a meeting in the interests of the
Library, held Tuesday night, since
the solicitors reported as already Sc
cured a sum of $45S.00 and more
easily in sight, 1t was decided to pro-
coed at once to take steps to put the
library into operation. To that end
a book committee was appointed con-
sisting of DR.. Tilden, Supt. Browning,
Mrs. Knappen, Mrs. Lentz, Mrs. Hyde,
Mrs. Bushnell and Mr.. Powers.
Now the soliciting committee re-
ceived offers of a good many books
and magazines, and before the book
committee expends any money, it
should know just what will be con-
tributed SO as to avoid wasteful du-
plication. Therefore a request is here
by made that everybody in town look
aside such as are to be given to the
Public Library; do the same with the
iid6dLihNo, nan dioo Il IoI vi 1ul-
rent periodicals that will be supplied
regularly after the family has finished
the reading Of them; send this list at
once to any member of the book COM
mittee. Please do this, even if you
gave a list to the soliciting committee,
in order that there may be no mis-
take and that the book committee may
certainly know what to count on.
Later a request will be made to have
these gifts collected.
The Library Trustees voted to APP
prove of the immediate expenditure
of $4,000 for books and periodicals.
The committee will hold a meeting
very 500 to make up lists and secure
bids. Now the selection will be ma
terially aided and it is hoped will
prove more generally satisfactory, if
the committee can have the advice of
the patrons Of the library. Will every
one interested, therefore, prepare a
list of books. say a dozen or two, that
should be in the library and send this
list Immediately to some member of
the book committee. 1t does not mat
ter whether the books are new or old,
for children or adults. The Commit
tee needs to know what the patrons
OF the library think the library should
contain. 1t is your library; will you
help in this way to make it as good
as possible?

annex. This lament was made last
night after he had just finished eject

chair for few moments, he wiped the
beads of perspiration from his classic
brow and launched into a TRADE
against the world in general and dogs
in particular.

BRASHAR'S SIDE OF

Davenport, Iowa, Feb. 16.-Editor
The Argus: / have read the article
in your paper of the 14th inst, signed
by J. b. Joseph, and in which he at
tempts to relate the circumstances of
the trouble which occurred between
himself and me on Saturday last at

from the fact contained in his article,
/ think it only fair TO me that the
readers of your paper should have my
side Of the story.
Last Saturday afternoon about 8
o'clock | was told about the fire
which destroyed Mr.. Joseph's factory.
My wife and mother went there on
the $3.50 street car as soon as they
heard Of the fire and knowing that
Mrs. Joseph was not well. / left
Rock Island at O'Clock. for Sears to
extend my sympathy for their loss and
to accompany my wife home to Daven-
port. My wife wanted TO so home,
but Mrs. Joseph said she was afraid
to be alone when Mr.. Joseph should
return and learn of the fire, so my
wife consented to stay with her. At
about $3.50 p. m. Mr.. Joseph came
home. Mrs. Joseph (who is my sis
teri. my wife, his children and l went
to the alley where Joseph was I'M

much, after he said that he would see
us as soon as he put his horse in the
barn, and l gently patted him on his
shoulder, intending to tell him TO wait
until he put the horse in the barn
before continuing his conversation. He
turned around and saw me. He got

boards and l knew that he was look.
