To Advance Transfer Case.
The attorney general today moved in
the supreme court to advance the appeal
case taken by the Omaha & Council
Bluffs street Railway company against
the United States and the Interstate Com
merce commission. In this case the COM
mission made an order reducing bridge
fares from 10 10 cents. The railroad
sought an Injunction from the commerce
court. The government demurred to the
bill and the demurrer was sustained. Ap-
peal was taken to the supreme court.
That court then stayed the commissions
order reducing fares pending final de-
cision.
Because Of this suspension OF the re-
duced fares the government urged today
that the case be heard as early as pos
sible.
Upon the motion OF Solicitor General
Lehman, Alfred @. Ellick OF Omaha was
today admitted TO practice before the
supreme court.

HOSPITAL HAPPENINGS

The deaconess superintendent, Miss
Eleanor S. Moore, is proving herself
mistress Of the situation and already
has a small army Of workmen putting
the building in shape for work under
the new management.
Pastor Bruce is proving a helper,
indeed, by cheerfully putting his ex-
perience in practical construction at
the service of the repair and improve
men committee.
Potatoes and vegetables of all kinds
poured in on Halloween following the
efforts of the young people of the
churches and the Boy Scouts. Others
who wish to help stock the vegetable
cellar will be welcomed with their
gifts at any time at the hospital.
The management desires to thank
all who promptly paid their subscrip-
tons to the purchasing fund on call,
November 1, and to urge all others
to pay their pledges as soon as posi-

ARTIST COURSE OPENS NOV. nth

The All Star Artists Course will
open Monday evening. Nov. 1lth, with
a concert of chamber music by the
Zollner String Quartette of Brussels.
This is the second concert of this
kind in Brookings this season, and
from the enthusiasm displayed by all
who heard the former it is evident
hat this form Of musical entertain
ment is very popular. Regarding the
Zollner Quartette, an interesting state
ment was made in a letter recently
received from Mr.. Mare Lagen OF
New York. Mr.. Lagen says:
you have one of the greatest string
for November eleventh, /. e. the Zoll-
ner Quartette van you to
know that | appreciate your booking
the Zollners and | wan to tell you
that the credentials contained in their
circulars are genuine"
The credentials received are OF the
highest. lie Matin d'Auyers," Ant
werp, says of them: They dis.
tinguished themselves by a fine en-.
semble, a large sonorous tone and a
very precise rhythmic" lIndepend-
ence Beige. Brussels: Much decision,
ensemble and expression are qualities
that the Zollners bring to light"
Boston Times: The ensemble was
stirring" Waterbury Republican:
Rare musical treat.
These criticisms from the various
cities, all OF which are great music
centers. would indicate that this is an
occasion of note. 1t is seldom that
artists of this class reach this portion
of the country.
1t is stated hat the success of the
undertaking is practically assured.

very extensive. Mr.. Hedge states,

the betterment of the curse next year.
The success Of this movement is
very significant of progressiveness of
the community. 1t is the first time
that such a course has met with any
degree of success, and We realize that
it is only through the influence and
untiring effort of Mr.. Hedge that it
has reached success.
1t is hoped that the large sale of
season tickets will continue and thus
assure a better course next year.

short time ago, Wouldn't ii be fine if
we could have the Symphony Orches-
ira next year,"

reception was ever held at the college.
On Saturday evening Fred ~Stoltenberg

few of the faculty ladies, gave recep-
lions to the college girls and also to
the faculty and their families at the

FOR THE HOUSEWIVES

The Register believes that it will
interest Bookings housewives to
know the condition of the local mar.
ket, and We have secured the follow
ing information from one of the lead
ing grocers of the city.
The apple crop this year is a gener.
Gus one and the fruit is cheaper than
for years. The most satisfactory ap-
pie now on the local market is from
the Wenatchee and Yakima valleys. A
car Of New York apples arrived this
week and are much cheaper than last
year, selling for $3.50 a barrel. The
Ozark apples, Ganos and Ben Davis
are selling for s3.00.
The Florida grapefruit Is this year
the earliest and of the finest quality
In years.
Oranges are very dear at present
and there will be no great demand for
them until the price drops.
The only pears Of good quality on
the market are the New Yorks, for
preserving, and they are reasonably
priced.
The season for California plums
and peaches is over, but the grapes
from that section are coming in and
are of a fine quality.
Nuts are expected to be higher this
year and the supply scarcer than last
year. A new one this season will be
the budded walnut, which Is about two
or three times the size of the ordinary
variety. They will be higher in price
Of course, but will be worth it.
The cranberries are fine this year
but there has been a slight advance
in the price. This always happens
though, before Thanksgiving, and it i!
expected TO get back to normal.
Honey Is very. scarce and retails a
twenty-five cents a pound. Their,
seems to be no South Dakota honey
on the market.
The aso for local vegetables l.
about over. Potatoes, cabbage ant
onions are cheaper than ever Cab
bage averaging twelve to fifteeI
pounds apiece only bring fifty cents
dozen. Onions are Of good qualit,
and bring fifty cents a bushel.
There will be no more fresh greer
vegetables from the local farmers
but an abundance of dollhouse stuff il
coming in. This includes lettuce, GU
cumbers. tomatoes. etc. There is con
siderable homegrown celery on tn,
market and 1t is OF a good quality
Michigan celery Is also on the marke
and will last until Thanksgiving
Sweet potatoes are plentiful and tn.
|, quality Is good, with the price tn,
same as in previous years.
Butter has taken another juno Il
the last few days and Is now rctailin,
at 80 cents a pound. Fresh eggs ar
worth Is cents a dozen.

Every man Is a part of his town.
The town embraces the fortunes and
in some measures at lease takes on
the character Of the man. So loyalty
to ones town Is no more than loyalty
to ones self and this loyalty Is in the
line of all wellshaped human nature.
Therefore it Is right to say that the
man who does not stand up for his
town Is in some way dwarfed. There
is something wrong about him.

Dinner-Dr. and Mrs. R. l.. Slagle
entertained about twenty of their
friends most delightfully."- at a six
thirty dinner recently. The tables
and rooms were decorated with white
chrysanthemums, and dainty place
cards designated places. The de-
licious dinner was served in five
courses. The evening was spent So
cially, and listening to the Victrola.
Halloween Party-Fifteen young
people received invitations to come to
the 'home where the black cat presid-
ed on the porch" Conjectures and sur
misses were rife from that moment
until they located the cat at the home
of Miss Genevieve Chappell. The
rooms were decorated to accent Hal
lowe'en. After a merry season of
games dainty refreshments were
served.
Surprise Party-Tuesday evening,
Mrs. Coleman invited fifteen young
people to her home as a surprise on
Adelbert Simmons In honor Of his ff-
teenth birthday. Various games were
enjoyed until a late hour when the
hostess served a fine lunch.
Halloween Partles-Different par
ties were given on the evening Of
Halloween. Miss Frances Carlisle en-
tertained at her home some Of her
schoolmates, they enjoying the usual
stunts for the occasion. Miss Gladys
~Jensen's home on Second street pre-
sented a novel sight with Jack O Ian
terms in the windows and on the porch
and from the sound the Sophomore
class must have had a most enjoyable
time. Miss Esther Johnson was the
charming hostess at a Costume party.
The guests came dressed in costumes
both novel, unique and dainty, afford
lag amusement for the evening in
guessing the characters represented,
etc.
Spread-Saturday evening a most
enjoyable spread was given by Mr..
and Mrs. Harold Davis, the favored
guests being the employees OF the
post Office and their wives. About
nine o'clock the guests were invited
into the dining room where a beauti-
full table decorated with white and
yellow chrysanthemums was found.
The sumptuous luncheon was served
in two courses. The evening was
spent in lively conversation, music.
etc. At a late hour the guests depart
ed voting Mr.. and Mrs. Davis ideal
entertainers.
chrysanthemum Parties-President
and Mrs. R. l.. Slagle entertained the
members OF the senior class, their par
ents and a few friends, last Thursday
evening at the college greenhouse,
about seventy guests being present.
The greenhouses ere profusely de-
corated with thousands of ~chrysanthe-
