GEORGE A. WILLIAMS

We are in receipt of the following
death at Hot Springs we made men.
ton last week:
George A. Williams died at his cot.
tage at the State Soldiers Home last
Saturday morning, April 10, at s
o'clock. He has been in poor health
all winter and suffered several acute
attacks Of stomach trouble. 1t was
thought he was recovering from one of
these attacks and on last Saturday
morning his wife prepared his break
fast but while she was arranging his
chair an artery bursted and death
came before she could call help. Mr..
Williams was born at Bakers Bridge,
Allegheny county, n. Y, April 10, 1886,
on May 16, 1861, he enlisted in Co. X,
21st New York Infantry, serving until
June, 1868. He was married shortly
after coming out of the service and two
sons blessed this union, in the early
SOS; he lost his wife and one son
while living in Wisconsin. A few
years later he came to South Dakota
and settled at Aurora. On Novem,
Der "a, 1892, he was married to Miss
Jennie +. Burleigh Of Earlville, S. d,
In August, 1889, he moved to Brook
ings, S. D., where he opened a drug
store and remained in business until
1909, when his health failed and he
went to Hot Springs, and entered the
National Sanitarium for treatment;
he held the position of baggage master
during most of his stay there. On
July 16, 1910, he and his wife entered
the State Soldiers Home where they
remained until his death. Mr.. VIII
liams was a member Of the Presbyter
ian church, also of the Masons, knights
Templar and A. 0. u. W. He was a
kind husband and a true friend. He
hated wrong or misery and he was
always ready to help, using his time
and money to bring about a reform or
relieve distress and at any time he
would go as far for an enemy as for a
friend. He loved right and justice.
He will be greatly missed by all the
members Of the Home, whose sympa-
thies are extended to the grief-stricken
widow. Funeral services were held
in the Home chapel, April 81. Rev. d.
d. Tallman gave a very touching ser.
mon. The remains were shipped that
evening on the 8 o'clock train to
Edgarton, Wis, for burial. Mrs. Will
liams accompanied them.

land office in receiving protests of its
field agents, and then holding up the
hearings indefinitely. Representative
Burke of South Dakota, introduced a
bill regulating this more than a year
ago, and now Senator Crawford of the
same state has a bill in providing that
where such protests are made by the
field agent that the homesteader may
be entitled to an early hearing.
Senator Ashurst has declared that
he believes the remedy proposed by
Thomas w. Lawson of Boston, refusing
the use of the mails to brokers and
stock gamblers who make wash or
fictitious sales, or sales on margin, fur
nished a remedy for n of the great
est evils of the country, and he has
introduced a bill to enact the above
into law.
Notwithstanding that there have
been two amendments to the constitu-
ton in the last ninety days, it is claim
ed that the process is too clumsy, and
to remove some of the distractions
Senator LaFollette has proposed a reso-
luton to require congress to submit an
amendment to the constitution on the
demand of the legislatures, or a ma,
jority of the people Of ten states, and
further providing that amendments be
ratified by direct vote
Senator Thompson of Kansas, be-
lieves that all things should have a
limit, and therefore has introduced a
bill limiting the expense of presidential
candidates to $1,000, 90. Senator Clapp
has another plan, which is for the gov
eminent itself to take charge of the
distribution of party claims through
the publication of a sort of handbook
to go into the hands of every register
ed voter.
With the republicans and progress
sives holding "open conferences" in
stead of "caucussses," and with Presi-
dent Wilson urging the same method
for the democrats, there apepars to be
little need of the bill by Dick" Nor
gan of Oklahoma, making it a law that
these meetings shall be open to every
body.
Senator Jones of Washington, pro-
poses in a bill he has introduced to
bring into the classified service col,
lectors Of custom, surveyors general,
re~gisterers and receivers of land Off
ces, United States attorneys and mar
shals. This is his recipe for adding to
the army of disappointed.

COURSE OF STUDY ACT

When the state legislature turned
down the bill presented by the state
board Of regents more clearly defining
the scope of the normal school of the
state, and enacted a bill known as the
Aberdeen Course of Study BILL the
friends of the board of regents took
advantage o. the referendum to refer
this law to the people, and hold it in
allegiance until the law has been voted
upon, says a Mitchell dispatch. Petit

Of teachers desired in the town and the
rural schools that they may teach the
course of study that is more directly
beneficial to the boys and girls who
seldom get beyond the high school

teachers who are more thoroughly

the range of the first eight grades, and
with the normal school n~eglecting this

HOMECOMING
AT STATE COLLEGE
BIG TIME PLANNED FOR COM.
MENCEMENT AND REUNION
IN JUNE
LARGE NUMBER OF ALUMNI TO Be HERE
Will be the Biggest Reunion Ever Held
at the CoIlege-Governor Byrne
vii Give an Address

The Homecoming and Commence
ment exercises at the State College in
June will be by far the most import
ant and largest attended event that has
ever taken place at the institution on
the hill. Plans are under way for the
entertainment of a big crowd of almuni
and old students who are expected to
be here. The fine new building will be
completed by June and the exercises
of the week will be held there.
The speakers for the exercises have
been chosen with the exception of the
one who will deliver the commence
ment address. Congressman Macguire
Of Lincoln, Neb., a former student, was
asked to give the address, but will be
unable to come, and it is probable that
the speaker will be DR.. C. G. Hopkins,
the famous soil specialist of the Uni
versity of Illinois, who is a graduate of
the State College. The address to the
alumni on Alumni Day will be given by
Aubrey Lawrence of Fargo, n. d., a
member of the class of 1888. Governor
Byrne will be present during the week
and will give an address on commence
ment day. The baccalaureate will be
given by Rev. H. w. Tilden and the adj
dress to the Christian Associations by
Rev. A. F. Won Tobel, both of Brook.

Several notable entertainments are
being planned for the week. Among
the most pleasant of these will be mus

ment and the band, under the direction
of Prof. Christensen. The Monogram
club, which is composed of students
who have won their letter in athletics,
will give a banquet in honor of the
many old athletic stars who are expect
ed to be present. On Tuesday of the
week there will be a parade made up of
the faculty, students and alumni, the
latter being arranged by classes, and
this will be followed by a picnic dinner
on the campus. The week will come to
a close on Wednesday night with a big
garden party and ball, which will be
held in the grove east of the gymnas.
