ance of 1882.
At this point H. E. Riley moved that
inasmuch as a large number of mem
bers were not present, having evident
lv gone to the show, that the club
adjourn the meeting for n week and
go to the opera house in a body. The
motion was declared lost. Earlier in
the week the club had an opportunity
to engage the show to give them a
special performance on Friday even
ing for a very small sum and this
would have made a rousing old meet
ing, with a full membership out, but it
was passed up on account of the ex-
pense, the officers being loath to
srend the clubs money in small
amounts.

Der Just as good. Prof. w. w. Harri-
man of the college, gave two readings
which were thoroughly enjoyed.
President Harris then gave a short
resume of the work accomplished by
the club during the past year. 1nls
may be summed up as follows:
Paid deficiency left from the state
high school meet at the college.
Contributed 1925 for the use of
Prof. Starring in advertising the State
College with the result that there are
today over 500 students enrolled.
Bought seed for raising Of exhibit
stuff to be used in county exhibit at
the state fair. The Brookings county
exhibit won first prize.
Moved and reconstructed band
stand for summer concerts and ar
ranged for the music.
Invited State Editorial Association
to meet in Brookings. In recounting
this achievement President Harris
went out of his way to take a nasty
fling at the Brookings editors. He
stated that the association at their
first meeting decided to come to
Brookings, but the next day they look,
ed around and not finding any editor
ial representation from Bookings
they changed their minds and went
elsewhere. The facts in the case are
as follows: On the first day OF the
Sioux Falls meeting there were only
a few editors present and those from
this part of the state. Editor Horton
OF the Volea Tribune, saw an oppor
tunity to put n over for Brookings
county so he invited them to come to
Brookings, and it carried. The next
day when the editors from the Black
Hills and the northern and western
parts of the state arrived they were
naturally dissatisfied at not having
been consulted on this important mat
~ter, so in fairness to tbeMs the Eots
was reconsidered and a place OF meet

His eyes glanced ahead through the

But the park was deserted save for
the sparrows and the little begging
squirrels that sat up with forepaws
against their breasts in mute appeal.

Notes From Melnik.

Mrs. Marie Krejci, a pioneer settler
OF this place, died at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs. Jos. Vida, at Manto-
voc early Friday morning of diseases
incident to old age. She was stricken
with paralysis several years ago and
since then has not been in the best of
health 1t is also thought that the
grief over the death of her brother,
Mr. Joseph Janda, whose demise &C.
Cured a week ago, probably fastened
her death.
The deceased was born in Bohemia,
August "a, 1884, and spent her child
hood days there, and when about TWEEN
ty-one years Of age immigrated to this
country with her parents, locating on a
farm in Melnik where she spent most
all OF her life. She disposed of her
farm about 20 years ago and lived re-
tired life since. For the past several
years she spent the summer months
here with her daughter, Mrs. Frank
Straka, and the winter months with
her daughter, Mrs. Jos, Vida, at Man
itowoc.
Mr. Jacob Krejci died in 1865 while
returning home from service in the
Union army.
The deceased is survived by two
daughters, Mrs. Jos. Vida of Manto-
voc and Mrs. Frank Straka of this place
and one son, Emil, also Of this place.
The funeral was held last Sunday at
the same hour as the funeral of her
brother one week previous.
