STATE BUILDERS
TO ABERDEEN
THE NORTHWEST DEVELOPMENT
LEAGUE TO HOLD MEET
ING IN MARCH
TO DISCUSS NEED OF four STATES
Representatives Of Minnesota, Mon
tana and North and South Da-
kota Will Assemble

The Brookings Commercial club has
received the following letter from I'm
migration Commissioner Deets, which
explains itself:
THE Northwest Development
league at a meeting of the executive
committee held at st. Paul December
10 last, decided to hold a state build
ers' meeting at Aberdeen in March,
and a few days ago the date was fixed
for March 20 and 81.
AT this meeting they expect to
have the presidents and head officials
of the various railroads doing bust
ness in South Dakota; also the gov
ernors Of Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana and South Dakota; also
Louis Penwell, president, and Will A.
Campbell, secretary, respectively, of
the Northwest Development league,
together with a very large delegation
of the leading business men of st.
Paul and Minneapolis.
"The purpose Of this meeting is to
get united action on the part of the
business men OF this state in the mat
ter Of commercial, industrial and az
ricultural development. We believe
that We are on the v OF the greatest
advance along these lines that this
state has yer approached.
you have perhaps noticed the won
derful strides Sioux Falls is making
just now in securing large factories,
and this office has information from
other cities that they also have ne
gotiations pending for the establish
ment of new industries. Also the
matter Of better farming methods is
being agitated along the whole line.
"In order to accomplish the best
results for the whole state we need
cheaper transportation facilities and
a chance for a more even competition
with other states. The question Of
fuel is one OF supreme Importance
and We believe that by concerted ac-
ton it will be possible to secure fuel
from the coal fields to the west OF us
as a much lower rate than we now
pay for eastern coal.
When we go after industries We
must be able to make a showing in
fuel, transportation rates and facili-
ties for manufacturing and marketing
III products that will equal those Of
other states.
In order to accomplish these
things We need the hearty co-opera-
ton OF every commercial club and
business interest in South Dakota.
Whenever every business interest in
the state, including railroads, banks,
manufacturers, real estate men, COM
mercial clubs and farmers organiza-
tions get together and have a mutual
understanding regarding the upbuild-
ing OF South Dakota things will come
to pass.
AT this meeting We do not intend
to elaborate theories. but get down

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES..

In making up the Honor ROll Tor
the first semester the following high
school students were omitted from the
list: Jessie Caldwell, Edith Irish,
Matte Culbertson, Leonard Ladd,
Hara Hyde, Mildred Allison, Laura
Nelson, Harold Hoover, Florence

Uses to be better than heretofore. Miss
Schultz, the new German teacher, ar
rived Monday morning in time to
meet all her classes in this depart
ment on the opening day OF the Sc
mester and her efficiency and the en-
thusiasm which she has begun her
work assures better work in this de-
partment than yer before.
Commercialism was never more in
more strenuous than in this day and
age. The demand Of the age must
always have consideration in the max.
ing of school curricula, and believing
there is more reason for magnifying
and developing commercial work in
the high school than there has been
heretofore, classes in business arith-
metic with Principal Patty as instruc-
tor and commercial geography under
Miss Plummer have been provided
for. The seniors will study civil gov.
eminent which is the advance course
in American history. The courses In
Latin, mathematics, English, history
and science are a continuation Of the
courses persued in the first semester,
Music will continue as in the first
semester. The girls chorus, the boys
glee club and the orchestra are to
meet for rehearsals under class room
organization this semester. The liter
airy societies will have a program at
the close Of each month Of school. The
principals desk as planned by Prof.
Bonnell, when completed by the high
school class in manual training will
be a thing Of beauty and great utility
and which is proof sufficient that man
ual training is not a fad but is edu'
cation exemplified.

A NEW POLICY.

In the past the city has been rather
lenient with the patrons OF its utili.
ties, but hereafter a different policy
is to be pursued, as evidenced by the
following resolutions passed at Mon
day evenings council meeting:
Moved and seconded, that from this
date the auditor be instructed to fol
low the Ordinance and cut out after
the 10th Of the month all parties owing
the city for water. light, heat or tele'

Two splendid speeches were
made at the courthouse. in the
interest of the Democratic party,
last Monday forenoon, the first
by Hon. Rollin Hurt, the second
by Hon. w. J.Price, of Danville.
Both gentlemen stirred the De-
mocracy, as they landed blow
after blow upon the present ad-
ministration. Mr.. Hurt, before
beginning his speech, read Wood
row Wilson's last appeal to the
American people in a forceful
manner. It is a great paper and
was received with cheers. At
the conclusion of his very con-
vincing address, Mr.. Hurt intro
duced Mr.. Price, who is polish
ed gentleman, and who delivered
a very telling speech, uging the
people who are disirous of having
the burdens lifted from their
shoulders to vote for Wilson and
Marshall, giving many potent
reasons why neither Taft nor
Roosevelt should be supported.
His speech was scholarly, con-
tanning nothing but truths, and
was highly appreciated.

EXAMINING THE SEARS

Spectrum analysis, which was voted one of the Seven Wonders of the Mod ern World in the recent international poll conducted by Popular Mechanics magazine is discussed by David Todd in the August number of that publi- cation He says:
 "The spectrOscOpe is an engine most delicate and at the same time most powerful for research in chemistry, bi- Ology, meteOrology, physics and as- trOnOmy. Many new chemical ele- ments have been found, a research in which Ramsay has led.

HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who keeps house" has enough to do when she is in good, sound health but if she is weak, tired all the time. and suffering from morn to night with an aching back, house. work becomes a heavy burden.
 Many women who were afflicted in this way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have made life easier for them.
 Women are subject to kidney dis ease. The clothing they wear, the work they do, the worry and strain of bearing and rearing children, the lack of proper exercise; all tend to it.
 Backache bearing down pains, head ache, dizzy spells, faintness, fits of "blues," and other troubles often thought to be peculiar to the sex are found frequently in kidney dis ease. When any one of these ills ap- pears, together with a discolored con- dition of the kidney secretions, with passages too frequently, scanty or burning, just make up your mind that your kidneys are weak, and be quick to help them.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great many weak women through

GHOSTS OF THE LIVING
4 Case That Throws Light on the
 Problem of Apparitions

It is not at all necessary to resort to the supernatural Gs the only sufficient explanation of apparitions In truth. there is one inSurmOuntable obstacle to regarding them as supernatural manifestations, and that is the simple circumstance that ghosts wear clothes It is quite inconceivable that there really may be ghosts of persons, but nobody who gave the matter a second thought would contend for moment that there can be ghosts of clothes. Nevertheless, apparitions always are clothed, and sometimes in garments of such modern cut that they were un- known at the time tho person seen as a phantom lived on earth.
 Aside from this, there is the inter- esting and by no means unimpOrtant circumstance that houses sometimes are haunted by apparitions not of the dead but of the living. 1 know of one case in which a gentleman, entering a drawing room at four in the afternoon saw seated on the sofa a young lady with reddish gold'' hair who appeared to be reading a book. There were two other persons in the room, one seated beside her on the sofa, and the visitor was surprised to find that they did not offer to introduce him to the young

lady--did not, in fact, seem to see her.
 Later d guest at week end party saw
 the same apparition in the same house.
 and it was seen a-third time by one of
 the servants.
 No light was thrown on the strange
 affair until year afterwards, the wife of the son of the family arrived from Australia to pay a first visit to her husbands relatives, and was immedi- ately identified by the servant as the figure as the figure she had seen. The two visitors who also had seen the ap partition subsequently, made the same identification.
 Since it is incredible to suppose that
 person can be in two places at the same time-so that a lady can be both
 in Australia and in a house thousands of miles from Australia-it is a legit innate inference that phantasms wheth CT of the living or of the dead are de- void of objective reality; are, that Is to say, always and only Authorizations From Science and the Haunted House" in the August Metropolitan.

GOING AFTER BEAR
 PROPERLY ACCOUTERED

In view of the many intellectual efforts of Phoenix people to reach the White river country this year and fill their game bags with bar meat, J. A. c. Martinez has organized q hunting party that will leave this morning at o'clock equipped. for getting results. This party may or may not go as far as White river. The present plan is to travel north from Roosevelt into the Sierras Anchas and if desirable thereafter it can go further. MT. Martinez has been in the Sierras Anchas before and he knows just where to find the bear and plenty of them. He knows they are thick by this time for it is sev- eral years since he was there last and on that visit he left all that he found up there so they must have multiplied rapidly since then
 Mart will be accompanied by Will liam Dwyer, Prof" Burson and a diamond expert for it is the plant of the party to prospect a little for dia- monds while they are gone. They don't care for many and will be sat isfied if they just get small shot sack full of them. They are outfit ting thoroughly for the expedition They will go in wagons eschewing the automobile which has not proved much of a success up that way dur ing the rainy season. and anyhow the auto is not considered the proper Ve- hicle for hunting bear. None of the great hunters have employed it. Sc far as history records neither Davy Crockett nor Daniel Boone ever so much as thought of hunting bear in an automobile
 For that reason Mart has secured two rigs, one light one for carrying the hunters and the other heavy and well smithed wagon for carrying the supplies up to the hunting fields and for bringing home the bear They expect to be gone about six weeks
