THE CITY PROGRESSIVE

In company with L A. Larson, NJ.
II. Doughty and Chas. Site the writer
had the pleasure of visiting White and
Brookings last Thursday, Mr.. Larson
plotting the party over in his Halla-
day, the trip being made o~stensibly to
give Mr.. Doughty, who has been here
from Florida on a visit, a chance to
shake hands with old cronies. The
rain of two weeks ago played havoc
with things in general over in that
section, details Of which are given in
an article from the Bookings Regis
ter to be found elsewhere in this issue.
Brookings has made remarkable pro-
gresS during the last few years and we
would not show a proper spirit if We
did not comment on the progressive
ness that permeates the little South
Dakota college city. The place is to
be congratulated upon its live COM
mercial club, composed now Of about
225 members. Through the courtesy
of Prof. Kerr we visited the club rooms
and must say that the quarters would
do justice to a city much larger. The
object of a commercial club is. of
course, to take care of such business
as is e~verybody's business and still
nobody's business in particular and the
fact that the Brookings club is doing
this is sufficient evidence that it is a
live one. The organization has paved
the way for many new public improve
ments in the building line in the last
year or so, including road building,
and at this time has something like
$1,000 in its treasury, which, with sew
eral hundred dollars added each
month by the paying of dues by the
members. will be appropriated to any
public enterprise that may present it.

how it could be built for that amount

WHOLE FAMILY WIPED OUT

Peter Peterson, living twelve miles
northeast OF Presho, wife and five
children, the latter all under nine
Years of age, burned to death in a
fire which destroyed their home near
Land, in Lyman county. A woman
ON horseback searching for stray cat
lie found the ruins. An inyestiga-
ton disclosed part of seven skeletons.
All had apparently died in bed except
Mrs. Peterson and one child. The
mother had made her way to the kit
chen where an incubator was kept.
Peterson had spoken to n~eighbors
about the brooder lamp leaking, and
the coroner's jury gave a verdict Of
death from an explosion.
The farm is situated SO that the
blaze Of the burning house appeared
to be a bonfire and nothing was
known of the disaster for twenty-four
hours. y hundred people drove out
from Presho to the Gene.
Mrs. Paul Anderson, a sister OF
Mrs. Peterson, is Frustrated by the
shock, Mr.. Peterson came here from
Geddes, S. d., seven years ago. He
has relatives in Turner county. He
had a fine farm and home.
All Of the bodies were so badly
burned as to be wholly unrecognizable
The postmortem disclosed the fact
that all of the victims had been alive
when burned. There were no signs
of foul play discoverable, and the
wreck of the incubator in one side o
the ruins probably told the whole
tale of the tragedy OF that fatal night
The neiShbors testified that the in
cubator was kept inn the kitchen, and
was at the time running. The posi-
tons of the corpses indicate tha'
death came to all but two, and posi-
bly, three Of them, in their sleep.
The mother was evidently aroused
and Selling the baby made an effort t
escape by way of the kitchen, but was

II. Adams entertained a party Of
about twenty young ladies at the home
Of Mrs, Adams last Friday evening.
The occasion took the form of a parcel
shower upon Florence Mcknight, that
young lady it seems being about to
commit matrimony.' The evening
was spent at Somerset and Miss Eva
kellogg told the fortunes of the guests.
A well had been provided and the
parcels placed in it. Miss Mcknight
tished many beautiful gifts from its
depths, showing in a small way how
sincere is the affection in which she
is held and how greatly she will be
missed. After p%artaking of dainty re-
freshments consisting of ice cream and
cake, and spending a very happy even
ing. the ladies departed wishing Miss
Mcknight many happy days which are
most deservedly due her.

wilson's Election Assn. ed.

The Greatest Democratic Vic
tory is at hand. The Republican
party is in twain and demoralized
whereas the Democratic party is
united as it never was before.
Many who believe that demo-
cratic success would mean busi-
ness depression should bear in
mind the following promise made
by Governor Wilson: I'VE don't
want to disturb the industry of
the country. The changes Tin the
tariff) which we make should be
made only at such a rate and in
such a way as will least interfere
with the normal course Of COM
merce and manufacture.
The election of Wilson means
continual and unprecedented pros
perity. There exist no reasons to
think otherwise. as intense busi-
ness activity throughout the busi-
ness world has not been affected
by the approaching election.
Let all good Democrats vote on
next Tuesday for Wilson and
Marshall. -

All Saints Day.

Yesterday, in conformity with
a beautiful and time-honored
custom, the entire population of
our parish attended the impress
sive ceremonies at the st. John
the Baptist's and st. Peters
Churches and visited the ceme-
teries where loved ones are at
rest. The tombs and graves were
decorated with beautiful and
sweet-scented flowers as a tribute
to the memory Of the departed.
Our thoughts therefore yesterday
were of them.
Contemplating the past, and the
records made by many who now
sleep under the sod, we should
endeavor to emulate the good
examples set by them, and try te
initiate them in great things and
in the small courtesies of life, for
the trend of all they did was ir
the direction of the Golden Rule,
Love thy neighbor as thyself. =

Edrington and Marrero
Declared the Nominees

The Supreme Court, on Thurs
day, gave out its final decision de-
claring Judge P. E. Edrington the
nominee to succeed himself over
Judge J. v. Chenet and Hon. l..
H. Marrero, Jr., the nominee to
succeed himself over Hon Fred
A. Middleton. This campaign has
been long-drawn and hotly con-
tested. The Meschacebe is glad
to chronicle the end, but deplores
the political animosity engender-
ed, bordering on personal enmity
in not a few instances.
Let us hope that the dictum OF
the Courts will be accepted in
good grace by one and all and that
our Judiciary as presently consti-
tuted, will dojustice to friend and
foe, as in the past.
