NONPAREIL TO OPEN

J. II. Roberts will open the Non

day morning. Mr.. Roberts has taken
his time about starting up, but he
wanted everything in first-class shape
and a competent laundryman in
charge before he began operations.
Both of these objects have been accom-
plished, he having installed the finest
machinery he could buy and having
secured an experienced laundryman to
superintend the work. Besides his
local business he expects to do con-
siderable work for outside towns, and
as the field is a good one we do not
see how he can fail to do business and
lots of it. He has invested a large
amount of money in the building and

VETERAN PASSES AWAY

Morris Shea passed away at his
home in north Brookings on Saturday
evening at six o'clock. His death was
due to arteriosclerosis, and he had
been critically i'll for several weeks.
The funeral was held from the home
on Monday afternoon at three o'clock,
conducted by DR.. Horace w. Tilden OF
the Baptist church, and the remains
were laid at rest in Greenwood. The
G. A. r. Post attended the services in
a body.
Mr.. Shea vas born in Waukegan,
Lake county, Illinois, July ~, 1916,
being in his s~ixty-eighth year at the
time of his death. When he was six
teen years of age the Civil War broke
out and he Immediately enlisted
although his parents sought to dis
suade him. His regiment was the 9Th
Illinois Volunteers and he served four
years and ten months, re-enlisting
after his three year term had expired

battles in which he participated. He
took part in the battles of Mission
Ridge, Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Pea
Ridge, besides a score or more OF less
important ones, and was promoted for
gallantry on the field Of battle. He
was honorably discharged early in
1866 at Houston, Texas. One of his
comrades who was with him during
his nearly five years of service, living
at present at Cleveland, Ohio, is now
engaged in writing a sketch OF Mr..
Shea's wal record for the National
Tribune, so highly interesting is it
considered. Mr.. Shea was intensely
patriotic and one of his last requests
was that he be buried with the Old
Flag.
After he was mustered out Mr.. Shea
returned to the farm in Illinois, where
he remained for a time and then
engaged in the lumber business in
Tennessee. Ill health compelled him
to seek a more northerly climate and
he removed to Michigan, going from
there to Iowa, where he located at
Davenport. May 16, 1882 he was mar
ried to Miss Rebecca Copley who sur
wives him. Three children were born
to them, Mrs. j. c. G~unsaulus of Blunt,
and Charles and Henry who live at
home.
Shortly after their marriage Mr.
and Mrs. Shea moved into what was
then the Territory of Dakota, settling
at Miller. A little later they removed
to Blunt, which was their home for
eighteen years. They returned to Mil
Ter and lived five years and in 1906
came to Brookings, where the family
have since made their home. During
his residence in Brookings Mr.. Shea
took an active part in the work of the
G.. A. r. Post and was honored by his
comrades with the Office of command
e%r-in-chief.
Mr.. Shea was a good husband and
father, a good soldier, citizen and
neighbor, and nothing better can be
written of any a

house in beauty of construction.
AS We stated last week, the base
ment floor will be used for storage
rooms, vaults, toilets, rest room, read
ing room and shower baths for the en-
ployes. The roof will be considerably
higher than the caves and an attic of
considerable dimensions will be pro
vided, but the plans do not say what
is to be done with this room.
The building will be faced with
stone on the south and west sides,
with rear walls of brick, and a roof of
copper and slate. The construction
throughout is to be firerproof, with re-
enforced concrete floors, steel lath
and steel fixtures. The building will
be lighted by electricity and the plans
show a most elaborate set of lighting
fixtures. The heating will be by steam
and the Plant will be located in the
basement.
1t will be one of the finest post office
buildings in the state and will be a
building that Brookings can we'll take
pride in. The contract for the con-
struction will be let March IA and
work will commence probably about
the first Of April.

THE NEW POST OFFICE

The plans for the new government
building to be constructed in Brook
ings this year were received at the
local post office on Tuesday. In last
weeks issle the Register gave a de-
scription Of the new building which
was right in all but one particular.
We stated that the main entrance
would be on the corner, but the plans
show that it will be on the west, fac
ing the opera house. There will be an
entrance on the south side at the cor
ner and another one at the east end,
the latter being for the use of the post
office employees.
The building will be 6Sx75, being
longer north and south. 1t will set in
% feet from the sidewalk on the west
side and IL feet on the south side. On
the west side ten stone steps will lead
directly from the sidewalk to the first
floor, where the post office will be
located, and the steps will be sur
mounted by ten massive stone pillars,
which will reach to the top of the
building. Both entrances will be pro-
vided with revolving doors.
On the first floor will be located the
post office, the lobby being located of
course in the southwest corner near
the doors, and the working roOm OF
the office will occupy the east and
north sides of the floor. The money
order and registration windows will be
located on the north side and the gen
eral delivery and stamp windows on
the east side. The plans do not show
any carrier windows, but it is presum-
ed that they will have to be ut in, for
Sunday deliveries and they will doubt
less be located on the east side. The
lobby is small, that is it looks small
in comparison with the floor space oc-
cupied by the working room, but a
large lobby will not be needed, as the
people can pass in one door and out
the other and there will not be the
congestion there is at the present
office with it's one door. On this floor
there will also be an Office for the
postmaster. The lobby floor will be OF
marble and the wainscoting will be OF
the same material. In fact the build
ing throughout will be constructed OF
the best materials and it will compare
most favorably with the new court

CLUB MEETS TOMORROW NIGHT

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Commercial Club will be held in the
assembly room tomorrow evening.
There are several important matters
to come up and it is urged that all
members be present. One of these is
the question Of whether the club will
appropriate $1,000 for cluster lights,
So much has been already said on this
matter that it is probable that the
question will be voted upon tomorrow
night without discussion. Mr.. Hall
will assume his duties as president o.
the club and will deliver a short in
augural address. After the meeting
there will be the usual lunch and
social time.
