F. H. Mitchell has been in the Twin
Cities on business the past week.
]. w. Hopkins, an attorney Of San
Francisco, was in the city on business
this week.
DR.. Brigham went over to Volga last
evening to make an addess at a grange
meeting north of that city.
s. H. McCarl has rented the repair
department of his garage to Z. F. Bar
ton. Mr.. Barton is an experienced
mechanic and should do we'll with the
business.
The commercial department of the
college will have an exhibit of its work
at Kendall's today, tomorrow and Sat
urday and the people of the city are
invited to call and look it over.
On June Goth a sale of pure bred
cattle will be held on the college farm.
These cattle have all been raised on
the farm and the only reason for sell
ingis to make room. There will be
thirteen Aberdeen Angus, five Here
fords, five Shorthorns, and five Jer.
seys, all sold to the highest bidder
for cash.
The college students have made ar
engagements to run a special train to
the big meet at Huron and it will leave
tomorrow morning. The band and
track team will go or the special. The
dope seems to indicate that Hamline
will win the meet, with somewhere
around thirty points and they may get
even more than this. Just where the
college will land is certain, as 1t has
but three or four men who have a
show to win points.
This week has been the dampest of
the season, but this morning the sun
is out for the first time since Saturday
and prospects are good that we will
have some nice weather. The rain
started Sunday afternoon and ON
tinued in a drizzle until Tuesday after
noon, and during that time LAG inches
fell. The rain was general, extending
all over the Northwest, and at Miller,
Pierre and other places west of here
two inches OF rain fell. The crop pros
poets could hardly be better, although
warm weather is needed now, especial
ly for the corn.
The Commercial Club committee in
charge Of the laundry proposition re-
port that they have nearly a thousand
dollars worth of business lined us for
the new proprietor and this should
assure him that Brookings people are
in earnest about supporting the insti-
tuition. The committee has been in
correspondence with a number OF
parties and we understand that they
have just about completed arrange
noon4c with Mr. Nnc. FROM Laccnn
MINI, to come here and purchase the
plant. Ness is an experienced laundry
man and is the same party who pur-
chased the laundry from Mr.. Roberts,
but backed out on the deal.
The State College has ran up against
one of the provisions of the new laws
of the last session. The legislature ap-
p%ropriated money for buildings at the
college and as the sum was not so
large as was asked or desired it was
decided to make it to go as far as pos
sible. To this end III of the mem
bers of the faculty drew the plans for
the new buildings, then discovered the
new law and came to the attorney
general for advice, and he rules that
under the law in question, all plans for
state buildings at any state institu-
ton must be drawn by some architect
selected by the state engineer for that
purpose, and that the law makes no
exceptions regardless Of the ability of
the professors to do the work at no
cost to the state.
s. ]. Rudolph Is on the war path and
before he cools down there is going to
be considerable trouble for several
young men of the city. On Sunday
these young fellows went out to the
Rudolph cottage or the east side of
Lake Campbell and gaining entrance
by filing off the lock they wantonly
destroyed about everything in the
place. They broke all Of the dishes,
smashed the gasoline stove, threw the
bed clothing out On the ground and
smeared 1t with preserves that had
been left there and finally took the two
row boats and set them adrift on the
lake. They also went over to John
Randall's cottage and entered by
breaking out the windows and did fur.
Their damage there. Mr.. Rudolph knows
who the parties are and proposes to
see that they pay dearly for their law
~lessness. The proper thing to do in a
case like this would be to give them
about thirty days in jail and make
them pay for the property destroyed.
