Died in Minneapolis
Nels olberg of This City De.
parts This Life

Mrs. Nels Olberg went to Min
neapolis last Friday in response
to telegram calling her to the
sick bed of her husband, where
she arrived Saturday morning.
His condition at that time was
quite critical and he grew worse
until Monday night when he
died of heart failure. His broth
er, S. K. Olberg, went down to
the city Monday, and was fol-
lowed on Tuesday by his wife
and the children of his deceased
brother. The funeral was held
in Minneapolis, interment be-
ing made in Lakewood cemetery.
Nels Olberg came to Roberts
county from Iowa about 20 years
ago and took up homestead in
Easter township, which he after
wards sold. For a while he then
conducted the farm now owned
by Mike Ernster. In 1906 he
was employed in the FIRST Nation
al bank where he secured an in
terest and was one of the di.
rectors. Selling out and giving
up his inside work, he for some
time looked after the banks land
business, later handling real
estate on his own account. He
was a bright, capable man of a
very generous disposition and
had many friends. He is survived
by h wife and four children.

Encourage Saving
Novel savings Plan to be In
augurated in School

A novel plan to encourage
thrift among the school children
will be inaugurated in the Hank.
inson schools within a short
time. Every child will be given
an opportunity to deposit his
pennies and dimes in any of the
ocal banks through the medium
of a representative of the bank
in the high school department.
The children will leave their
money with the banks represen-
tative in the high school and be
given a receipt therefor. The
school banlker will deposit in one
OF the three local banks the
amounts received from the chill
dren who have their accounts
with him. The accounts will be
checked up at stated intervals.
and the money will be subject to
the order of each depositor or
the parent.
The spendthrift tendency of
the American people is one of the
chief causes of poverty and want.
10 overcome this tendency and
make the future generation a
thrifty and saving one is the
chief purpose of the school saw
lngs idea. 1t is probable that
the banks will offer suitable
prizes for the depositors making
the best showing during the
school year, and the tendency To
save will be encouraged by teach
erS and friends of the children
GENERALLY.
The "details of the plan have
not been worked out as vet. but
ths outline given above will be
followed in a general way. The
[experhaeat will be wasohed with
interest by all who have the
welfare Of the rising generation
at heart -EIanhinaon News

Burke May Enter
Senatorial Race
Pressure Brought to Bear on
Congressman to Run
Against Crawford.

Mitchell, S. D.,-A new sena-
torial candidacy will be launched
in opposition to Coe 1. Crawford.
At a meeting of the leading re-
publicans held in this city re.
Gently one of the features was a
proposition to bring out candi-
date who could defeat Crawford.
1t is planned to get Congress-
man Charles HI. Burke to stand
for the senate, although he has
declared he is going to retire
from politics on account of poor
health. Tom Roberts and j. l..
Lockhart were here from Pierre
at the conference coming direct
ly from Mr.. Burke, who had just
returned to Pierre after a trip
on the Pacific coast. His health
is so much improved that there
is a feeling among his friends
that he will rescind his former
statement and go to the relief of
the regulars" in order to beat
Crawford. 1t is believed here
the plan will work out, and that
Burke will be formally announc.
ed soon.

Massiingham' $ Ohio Trip
He Gives a Brief Glimpse OF the
Big Convention.

Editor Standard:
To give your readers a small
idea as to what my views are as
to the final outcome of the great
est convention ever held in this
nation or any other nation of the
world at Columbus, Ohio, Nov,
1O-14, which l had the pleasure
of attending as one of the dele
gates from South Dakota. The
full and only object of this con.
vention was to pass resolutions
to present to the president of
the United States and for him to
present to congress, asking that
such measures be taken as will
Immediately give US our full
right as citizens, namely, univer-
sal suffrage and emancipation
from the liquor traffic and other
questions of vast Importance.
These resolutions will be carried
to Washington the second week
in December next by 1000 dele
gates from all over this nation,
of which will be selected so MANY
from each state. South Dakota
has the right of five or more.
DO you want to be represented
from Sisseton? If so, | can ar.
range to send any one you may
choose.
The call for the great national
convention shows a unison of all
the temperance forces of the
country. 1t is signed by U. S.
senator's, federal, district and
state judges, congressman, legis-
lators, the w. G. T. u, the Anti
Saloon League, the prohibition
party, many temperance socie-
ties, clergymen and laymen in
the Protestant and Catholic
churches, besides many other
reform bodies. The resolutions
adopted were right to the point,
and, backed by such an army of
the united temperance workers,
they cannot help but have an eff
feet upon the president and con-
gress.
1t certainly was great privi-
lege to have been able to attend
such great and enthusiastic
convention for the betterment of
humanity, and it is something I
shall always remember. III,
A saloonless country and a
stainless flag is sure to come by
1920 at the furthest, so take
courage and work for the Anti
Saloon League.

A Letter of Thanks.

10 the Editor of the Standard:
If it would please you to grant
us space in the columns of your
paper, we would like to thank
our many friends in Sisseton,
the many inquiring friends from
the country and also some from
far off who noticed the account
in the papers of the sad accident
which occurred on the Both of
August last to our little son who
was burned from the effects of a
washtub being placed on stove
to warm the water, which all our
inquiring friends realized that
this was an awful and painful
accident for a child to bear, none
but the child itself and it's clos
est attendants knew how bad it
really was, and we do sincerely
hope that this will be warning
to some mothers that might
otherwise perhaps do the same
thing. Within Is minutes after
the child had been burned it was
in the hands of our most able
physician, DR.. F. ]. Schefaer,
who at once told us to expect the
worst as he had seen people
with less severe burns than that
die, and although we ourselves
had made up our minds that we
would lose our baby, we had con-
fidence in DIR. Schefler and
spared no expense whatever to
follow his instructions. And
here we must thank Mrs. John
son who had the care of our
baby at heart and watched him
day and night for eight weeks.
Now lots of people are surprised
at the outcome of this case as
DIR. Scheff1er consulted a noted
physician in the city who claim
ed that we could not save our
child and even if we did, we
would have to have skin graft
ing operation, but thanks to DR..
Scheff1er and Mrs. Johnson for
their close attention to the case
words cannot express our feel
ing for the recovery of our child
and as the case has been one that
would startle the world if it was
known how bad it was, and as we
feel it a duty to thank you all for
your sympathy in this case, we
take this means of reaching you
all. Thanking you all in behalf
of our son Earl,
We remain yours affectionately,
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Chandler.

merce.
The proposition or erecting such a
hal. to seat not less than 5000 peo-
pie. and to be 80 constructed that
large entertainments and conventions
may be held there, is not new one.
but previous attempts to raise the
fund have failed for lack Of organiza-
tion and advertising. The enthusiasm
with which the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce hailed the
project last night. in view of the re-
cent provisional appropriation by
Congress of 100000. and the success
which is attending Mrs. Henry F.
Dimmick in her efforts to raise funds
in other cities, indicates that the
campaign about to be set on loot Will
bring results.

fund being obtained by Mrs. Dim
mick. reported that more than 500.
600 had been raised outside OF wash, ash

Glen Brown, chairman Of the com.
mittee Of one hundred on the future
development OF Washington, insisted
that the citizens of Washington b
urged, in some systematic way, to dc
their share in raising the fund. D. j

started at once, and offered his sub
scription of 1900.

mittee to be appointed by the president
was authorized to consider the best or
gantzation that could be effected fol
