A GOOD RAIN

This section was visited by a heavy
wind and rain storm Friday evening,
which did some damage around town.
The big billboard in the real Of Cor
ner grocery was blown down, and one
of the gates at the railroad crossing
on Main street was torn from it's
anchorage. The storm also did some
damage to telephone wires and poles.
At Lake Preston lightning struck the
North Western depot and it was
burned to the ground. Further west
the storm was almost a %cloudburst
and that section had more rain than
it has seen for months. The rain con-
tinued here on Saturday and Sunday,
nearly two inches falling altogether.

DEGREE

Brookings Lodge No. /, A. O. U. w.
and ~Brookings Lodge No. 6, d. OF II.
have alternated in entertaining each
other during the winter months. The
sisters Of the Degree invited the
brothers Of the order to attend and
enjoy a program prepared for their
special entertainment in the grand
opera house last Thursday evening.
Speeches for the Good of the Order"
were made by Mrs. Thayer, grand
chief Of honor, and Mrs. Lawshe, n
of the brightest gems in the Degree,
and others; a chorus by about a doz-
en- young men, consisting Of songs,
solos. duets, with Accomplishments,
was we'll rendered. A solo by Miss
McGill and one by Miss Hubbart was
well received, both soloists being en-
cored. A reading by Miss Mildred
Allison was an exceptional feature
and the young lady was obliged to
respond to an encore: "The Peak
Sisters" about fifteen OF the Degree
members, dressed to indicate their
name, c%onvulsed the house but it re-
NAMED for "The Jolly Bunch" five
Mesdames Of the Degree, to round
out the jolly entertainment and, after
being called back a couple of times,
the curtain dropped and the company
repaired to the lodge hall where a
bountiful lunch was served to about
two hundred. Such joint meetings
serve to keep up the interest in both
order.

be abated or removed as a nuisance
any such cesspool situated within the
plated portion of the city or such
privy situated within the fire limits"
In simpler language this section
means that all privies within the
plated portion of the city, which in
cludes practically the entire city,
must be provided with metallic trays,
and privies within the fire limits, or
business section of the city, are to be
done away with, and all cesspools
anywhere in the city are to be done
away with. 1t is estimated that these
metallic trays can be secured at a cost
of about ten dollars each and they
must be emptied frequently.
Section 80 provides that all stable
manure must be removed every two
weeks, and that no manure or other
offensive matter shall be deposited
anywhere except at the public dump
ing ground.
Section 80 provides for the inspec-
ton and protection OF foods. 1t spe-
cifies that every dealer in provisions
or foodstuffs must allow the health
officers to inspect his stock at any
time. All food displayed for sale
must be properly screened from the
flies or other insects from June 1st
to November 1st.
The second ordinance Is entitled,
IAN Ordinance providing for the de-
~struction Of noxious, dangerous and
unhealthful vegetation and taxing the
expense to real estate in certain
cases" This ordinance provides that
all weeds, thistles or other foul mat
ter must be removed by all property
owners from their premises and from
the middle of the street abutting on
their property. In case OF failure to
do this the city will do the work and
charge 1t against the property.

C0NKL|N WINS
IN THE THIRD
HOTEL MAN DEFEATS WILLIAM
POOLE IN A CLOSE RACE
FOR ALDERMAN
ELECTION QUIET IN OTHER WARDS
The "Bloody Third" However, Furn.
ishes Enough Excitement for the
Entire ~City-SmaII Vote Cast

Tuesday was election day in Brook
ward this fact would have probably
escaped the notice of everyone but
the election judges and clerks. But
the Third came to the rescue, as usu-
al, and prevented the momentous DC
casion from being entirely forgotten.
In that ward there was a warm scrap
on between w. II Conklin, the caucus
nominee, and Will Poole, the indie
pendent candidate, Conklin winning
out by the close vote of 50 to Sc.
There were 116 votes cast, but there
were a couple of spoiled ballots, these
being made by two citizens Of the
ward who evidently had no prefer
ence, as they voted for both Conklin
and Poole. There were probably
others who had no preference, so they
die not vote at all.
In the other wards the election of
ficials had a pretty easy time earning
their stipend, as the vote was very
light, there being no contest to draw
the vote out. The aldermen elected
in these three wards are as follows:
First ward, A. Hoover; Second ward,
o. o. Jermstad; Fourth ward, ], H.
Roberts.
The city council as it will be made
up after the first Monday in May is
as follows: First ward, H. II. Hoy,
A. Hoover; Second ward, F. Z. Young
burg, o. o. Jermstad; Third ward, c.
c. Bradbury, w. H. Conklin; Fourth
ward, E. l.. Moore, J.. H. Roberts.
Mayor w. H. Leighty holds over for
another year.

BOOSTERS MEET

The regular monthly meeting Of the
commercial club was held on Friday
evening. On account of other attrac-
tons there was not a very large at
tendance, although a good many Of
the members got in late-in time for
the lunch. No business of great i'm
portance was up, however, but many
small matters of interest to the well
fare of the city were discussed at
some length. The new city health or
dinances were brought up, as they
are Of interest to every citizen and it
was the desire to hear an expression
from those present, but the members
seemed little inclined to favor or op-
pose the new laws.

HEN FANCIERS TO MEET

: The next poultry meeting of the
Brookings County Poultry association
occurs on Thursday, April 18th, 1912,
in the rooms of DR.. Miller over the
post Office. Important business calls
for the members presence and coun-
sci at this meeting. Further there
will be discussed the cooperation of
poultry keepers and farmers of
Brookings and Brookings county in
the raising and selling of the poultry
and first quality products. Another
question is, Shall we hold a poultry
show in Brookings next winter or go
back and sit down and watch Aber-
deem, Redfe]d, Huron, Mitchell,
Sioux Falls and Belle Fourche push
poultry business progress in South
Dakota?" Everybody come.

THE LIBRARY TO OPEN

The Brookings Free Public Library
will be opened Saturday afternoon at
three o'clock.
The place is the assembly hall in
the new city hall.
This decision was reached at a
meeting of the trustees held Tuesday
night. 1t will not please everyone.
The trustees we're unable to hit upon
a plan that would please every one.
But 341 books were ready for circula-
ton and it seemed criminal not to put
these before the public, and the best
way to do that seemed to be to open
up in the city hall, at least for the
present.
The books that are ready are large
ly the result of purchase; few of the
gifts have thus far come in. More
purchased books are on the way,
among them being a good many OF
the beautiful books for young people.
These books were ordered in special
bindings; hence the delay. But the
little folks will find a welcome wait
ing them and some very attractive
books ready for them.
The library is free to all and all
are invited to come Saturday after
noon to the opening. Let everyone
who wishes to use the library fill out
an application card.
If you do not find in the library
such books as are wanted, write out
the titles of such books as you would
like to recommend for purchase and
hand to the librarian. The selection
Of books has been made cautiously.
A good many Of the standard works
have not as yet been purchased as it
has been thought that somc " these
would later be given to the library.
AS the funds available make it neces
sary to start with a small nurnber OF
looks, it has been the aim not to du-
plicate at first books that are found
in the city school library.
For the present the library hours
are Saturday, 8 to 6 and 7 to 8; Tues
day 4 to 6, and Z to 9. Opering Sun
day afternoon is contemplated.

NEW HEALTH LAW
FOR BR00K|NGS
TWO HEALTH ORDINANCES ARE
NOW UP BEFORE THE CITY
COUNCIL
TO ENFORCE STRICTtR REGULATIONS
In All Matters Relating to the Health
and WeIl-being of Peopfe-Ordi-
nance Receives First Reading.

At the last meeting Of the city coun-
Gil two new ordinances relating to
the general health OF the community
were introduced by the board Of
health and given their first reading.
These will come up for final action
at the May meeting and in order TO
acquaint the people Of the city with
the more important provisions we
publish a short synopsis Of the new
ordinances. The action of the coun-
Gil will probably be governed largely
by the sentiment OF the people in the
matter, so whether you favor or are
opposed to the new laws you should
give your views to some OF the
city fathers.
The first ordinance is made up Of a
number of amendments to the present
health ordinance. Section II provides
for a quarantine for scarlet fever,
smallpox, diptheria or polio-myelitis,
and if the health officers deem neces-
sary they may quarantine for chicken
pox, measles, whooping cough, humps,
tuberculosis or other contagious di-
seases.
Section Sc prohibits any person
from maintaining any nuisance, either
by creating or maintaining any often
sive matter on his premises or by
conducting any unwholesome bust
ness. Keeping swine is considered to
be maintaining a nuisance.
Section SO is the most important
section of the ordinance and the one
that effects the most radical change
in the city's health laws. 1t is as
follows: ct shall constitute and is
hereby declared a nuisance to erect
or maintain any privy within the
plated portion of the city Of Brook
ings unless the same is provided with
a metallic tray such as shall be speci-
fed by the board Of health, which
tray shall be placed entirely above
ground and so constructed that the
contents cannot escape therefrom in
to or upon the earth around about or
beneath said privy, and said tray
shall be covered tightly so as to ex-
clude all flies therefrom, and the
same shall at all times be kept clean
and inoffensive, and it shall consti-
tute and is hereby declared a nuts
ance to construct or maintain any
cesspool within the plated portion Of
the city OF Brookings, or to erect or
maintain any privy within the fire
limits of said city, or such limits as
may be hereafter designated as fire
limits, and it shall be the duty OF the
board Of health to abate or cause to

AGRICULTURAL
ASSOCIATION
is FORMED AT THE STATE COL
LEGE AND INCLUDES
FORMER STUDENTS
S. D. EXPERIMENT ASSOCIATION
Is the Name Of the New Organization
Object is the Dissemination Of
Agricultural Information.

The South Dakota Experiment AS
ISOLATION was recently organized here
for the purpose of the systematic ex-
change, interchange, and dissemina-
ton of pure seed and agricultural in
formation. This association will in
clude all the graduates OF the school
of agriculture Of the State College,
the graduates Of the college OF agri-
culture as honorary members, and
all former students Of any depart
ment of the college who are interest.
ed in scientific farming in South Da-
kota, and also such others as may be
from time to time admitted.
The plan is for everyone who is
growing seed that is known to be
pure and Of a definite variety, to send
a quart sample to the agronomy de-
partment Of the State College togeth-
er with a letter stating how much Of
this seed he has for sale, and the
price wanted. Barring some unfortu-
nate seasonal conditions the State
College will also have a considerable
quantity Of improved seed Of the best
varieties for distribution. In early
winter a list OF seeds and seed grow
e~s will be prepared and sent to all
members OF the association by the
agronomy department. This informa.
ton will be sent also to anyone who
requests it. In other words the
agronomy department will act as a
clearing house for the bringing to-
gether of buyer and seller for the
dissemination OF pure seed. Accord
Ing to Prof. Hume, agrOnomist at the
State College, the farmers Of South
Dakota could add sixteen million dol
lars to their bank account every year
by the intelligent use Of pure seed of
the best varieties of wheat, oats, corn,
and other cereals. This would add
an equivalent of $4,000 to the bank
account Of every man, woman and
child in the state.
This movement toward better farm
ing was organized at the State col
lege by A. n. Hume, agronomist, and
Manley Champlin, assistant agrono-
mist, and it is expected that it will
grow in safe wide importance. The
officers elected were: president, c.. H.
Karlstad, Dempster; secretary, Fred
Wertz, Hartford; corresponding
secretary, M. Camplin, Brookings.
The president and secretary, assist
ed by j. II. Smith of Roslyn, Clarence
Sharp Of Bristol, and Elizabeth Kirsch
OF W~atertown, constitute a committee
on constitution and bylaws.
1t is hoped by the organization that
all former students of the State COL
lege who are interested in farm.
ing in South Dakota, no matter what
course they may have taken, will
write to the South Dakota Expert
ment Association, Brookings, and
have their names enrolled as associ.
ate members. They will thus benefit
themselves and the state at large.

loved friend and the world a true
gentleman.
That we shall ever cherish his
memory in our hearts and hold as his

which his many acts of kindness mas
aroused.
