BILE position Of Eldership.
A very serious accident some years
ago mad it exceedingly difficult for
him 20 get around about his duties but

the Glorious Appearing"

MILWAUKEE, MAY BUILD

The Sioux Falls Commercial Club is
making an effort to induce the Mil
waukee road to extend its line north
from Flandreau to Ortonville, which
would give them a north and south
road. The Commercial Club of Brook
ings should get busy on this PROPOSE
ton, and endeavor to have the line
built by way of Brookings, If it Is built
at all. The Argus-Leader says of the
matter:
active consideration is being given
by the local Commercial Club of a plan
for a conference to be held in Sioux
Falls in the near future to discuss the
possibility of the establishment of a
north and south line of railroad be.
tween Winnipeg and Sioux City. The
main object of the proposed confer
ence will be to consider some plan Of
action and notably to secure the CO.
operation of officials Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad in the
matter with a view to making the con-
Meeting link of road between Orion
vile, Mimi, and %Flandreau.
MANY towns in the territory affect
ed have already shown their interest
in the proposal and cites throughout
the northwest through which the line
would r,lp orn unread IN uanl xnnr1.o-
tatives here at the date to be selected
for the conference which will be an
nounced later"
The following from the Hendricks
Pioneer along the same line is inter
esting:
"a number of years ago the Mil
waukee road made a north and south
survey, running just west of Hen.
bricks, the pain being to build a line
from Flandreau to Ortonville. The only
thing that has materialized SO far Is a
line of stakes.
"But food for gossip has sprung up
recently through the presence in this
locality Of more of the company's sur
veyors. 1t is figured now that the Mil
waukee is going to build this long
talked-of line through here, being urg.
ed into taking action owing to SO much
electric line talk.
"If the survey should be followed the
road would run a couple of miles or
so west of Hendricks but that survey
was made before the village of Hen
bricks was on the map and it does not
take a very imaginative mind to fig
ure out that the road will now run
through shaokatan, with a town plat
ted north and south of u.s."

PLEDGED TO PROHIBITION

A Pierre dispatch says that at the
minority republican meeting the other
day, after the committeeman had legal
ly convened in the senate chamber, as
a committee of the whole, a plank was
introduced as follows: 1--WE favor ma
tional restriction and control Of i'm
portation, production and distribution
of any kind of alcohol"
Under the new primary law, there
was no way that this plank could be
referred to a committee on resolutions
or in any way s~idetracked. 1t, there
fore, had to be threshed out in the
open OF the floor of the senate cham
Der and after protracted speech-mak-
ing and excitement, it finally passed
with about 5000 votes majority and
was adopted as part of the republican
minority platform of this state. pledg-

ed and elected, to work for same or be
subject to party recall, which declara-
ton they have to execute in writing
under the Richards primary law.
South Dakota is the first state in
the Union which proposes to send an
entire congressional delegation to
Washington bound by a party recall

Of alcohol. Promoters of the plank
say that this is a better shape-up for
practical results in temperance than
has been accomplished in this state for
20 years.

SKATING RINK NOTES

At a recent meeting of the joint ice.
rink committee of the Students Asso.
citation and the Fellowship League, it
was decided that on the afternoons of
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,
hockey players should be given first
right to the use of the rink. At all
other times hockey will be forbidden.
Users of the rink will please consider
this as the official notice and cooper
ate with the committee in seeing that
it is enforced.
The condition Of the ice for the last
few days has been good, and large
crowds especially on Saturday, have
taken advantage of it. On Monday
afternoon the new ice plane was used
for the first time and with entire sue
cess. Now that the rink is actually
in successful operation it is earnestly
hoped that p~ublic-spirited citizens,
young and old, whether members of
the Fellowship League or not, will
come to the financial support of the
project. A very considerable amount
of expense is inevitable. The ice plane
is to be paid for, and the up-keep of
the ice amounts to something like FIVE
dollars a week. Members Of the
league who have back dues unpaid
and all others wishing to contribute
to the support Of the rink should leave
their money with the Bank of Brook
ings or with Mr.. Vinegar at the post
Office. If the project does not speedi-
ly receive from the community better
financial backing than has been given
it hitherto, the rink will have to be
abandoned-a possibility which is GER
tainly in the highest degree undes,r-
able.

A committee consisting of T. l..
Chappell, r. F. Kerr and F. M. Ellis
was appointed to examine the books
and accounts OF the secretary and
treasurer and report at the next meet
ing.
The election of five directors for the
coming year vas next taken up, and a
nominating committee of three mem.
bers was appointed to present ten
names. The following received the
highest vote and were declared elect
ed for a term of n year: DR.. A. w.
Hyde, c. E. Hall, Superintendent ]. w.
Browning, Prof. G. A. Starring, c. E.
Poole. The six members Of the board
who hold over are, Philo Hall, G. N.
Kennard, c. A. Gullick, Prof. H. B.
Mathews. o. o. Olson R. A. Larson.
The directors met at the close of
the meeting and elected the following
officers for a six months term: Presi-
dent, A. w. Hyde; vice-president, c. E.
Hall; secretary, c. A. Gullick; treas
urer, Van Fishback.
Philo Hall, who has made such an
exceptionally capable president during
the past year, declined to be a candi-
date for reelection. Mr.. Hall stated
that he believed the honor-and labor
should be passed around, and it
would seem that the board had made
a very good selection in naming his
successor. Mr.. Hall has made a splen-
did presiding officer, keeping the or
g~anization working smoothly and for
the best interests of the city at all
times. Much has been accomplished
by the club in the past year and much
of the credit for it must of necessity
be given to Mr.. Hall. The new presi-
dent will, we believe, prove a very
capable officer, judging from his activi-
ties for the betterment of the city in
the past, and the club looks forward
to a good year under his guidance.
Secretary Gullick and Treasurer Fish
back have proven capable officers and
their reelection was merited. And we
nearly forgot the vice-president, but
that would be impossible. of curse.

name, and he will prove a splendid un-
derstudy for the doctor.
proSidouf Hall reviewed eomo NJ tho
things accomplished by the club in
the past year, including the successful
campaign for the Electric Short Line,
and he complimented DR.. Hyde for his
efforts in this direction. Mr.. Hall said
that the spirit Of cooperation has
grown wonderfully in the past year.

This is just one of the Paris hints

with maroon satin, which makes a
charming color combination. Sew

The three tier skirt with Van Dyke
points shows the continuance Of the
tierred effect and the discontinuance
Of the straight around hem. The
back droop of the sash adds to the
general pulled up effect In front and
the tendency to short waistedness.
The shape of the collar. longer and
losser over the back and shoulders
and very short in front. shows cor
responding effect.
With the exception Of the narrow
ness of the skirt proper around the
feet, the whole gown gives an effect
of looseness. The skirt tiers blouse
and sleeves are all decidedly full. but

seems to be a feature In all the new

front Is so pronounced that an almost
