j. w. Haw returned Monday from
a visit of over a week to the home Of
his parents in Wisconsin, where he
was called by the serious illness of
his father.
The literary society of the Langdon
high school gives its first evening pro-
gram Friday evening next week. The
debate will be the big feature of the
evening. The public are invited to
attend.
Veteran w. j. Ross went north
Monday to his home at Wales to look
after business matters. For some
time past he has been enjoying life
among many of his old comrades of
the civil war at the soldiers home at
Lisbon N. D.
Two weeks to Thanksgiving.
Even this year the democrats can find
many things to be thankful for. We
may have to pick the neck or be sat-
isied with a drum stick while the
other fellows fill up on the white
meat. But did you notice how Min
nesota woke up this year? North Da-
kota is about due to hear the alarm
clock go off in 1916. The room for
democrats may be somewhat crowded
now, but there's plenty to be thankful
for all the same.
The Columbia hotel, which has been
closed since the recent retirement of
c.. Tourand from its management,
will be re-opened in a few days by
? Dave Fisher. In the meantime the
interior of the hotel is undergoing an
extensive line of improvements and
renovation. Mr.. Fisher the past year
has been in charge of the billiard
room and pool hall of the hotel annex
and is we'll known to patrons of the
hotel in general and promises the
public a strictly first-class service
under his management.
Monday the county commissioners
met as a c%anvassing board for the
purpose of certifying to the precinct
returns of last weeks election in this
county. They have been somewhat
set back in completing their work,
owing to the delay experienced in
receiving poll books and returns from
or two of the outlying precincts.
The result of the official canvas of
the election returns in tabulated form
will appear in this paper next week.
1t is not likely any material change
will be found in the totals from those
given last week.
Among the new corporations tc
which charters have been issued dur
ing the week by Secretary Thos. Hall
are two new concerns which have been
Incorporated and capitalized by par
ties in this county. The first is the

~FLANDREAU INTERESTED

Plans are being laid for an extension
of the electric line of railroad from
Brookings south into Moody county to
run either to Flandreau or turn west
at the Fri Coleman place and run
through Rutland to Madison.
From what the Herald can gather
the Luce Electric Short Line Co. has
secured right of way and enough of
subscription money to build from Min
neapolis to Bookings, and this line is
assured. From B%rookings the COM
pany expects to run a line via Rutland
and Madison to Mitchell and possibly
via Flandreau to Sioux Falls. The old
road bed graded for twelve miles south
of B~rookings will be used. This brings
the line down to Fri Coleman's place.
Here it is expected the road will di-
vide, one branch running to Rutland
and the other coming on to Flandreau.
The farmers in hat part of the coun-
ty seem anxious for the road and will
subscribe literally toward it. The
company only asks $1,000 per mile of
subscriptions, and will issue stock in
the road for the amount and guaran-
tee it.
Although it is an electric line, large
freight trains can be handled owe it
as well as passenger trains. This
makes it a very desirable line.
A meeting will be held at the Cole
man school house this wednesday,
evening at s o'clock, and everybody is
invited. A large attendance Is expect
ed. 1t is also expected that Col. Luce
will be in Flandreau in a short time to
put the proposition up to the business
men here.-Flandreau Herald.

BIG DoIN's TOMORROW NIGHT

Everything is in readiness for the
big reception to the college people to-
morrow evening. At the Commercial
Club rooms the Civic League will en-
terrain the girl students, the lady mem
bers Of the faculty and the wives of the
faculty members and employees. The
league is working industriously to
make this a most pleasing and memoir.
able event for the college ladies and 1t
promises to be a splendid affair. At
the opera house the Commercial Club
will entertain the college boys, pro-
fessors and employees, and a big time
is on tap. Charles e. Hall will be ring
master Of this "Get-Together Get" and
there will be something doing every
minute. The committee in charge re
quests every club member to be pres
ent and to constitute himself a com.
mittee of one on entertainment. The
club members are the hosts and should
see that the college people have the
best time that it is possible to give
them.

ElVYN RECITAL

The large audience which enjoyed
the piano recital by Miss Myrtle
Elvyn Tuesday at the college auditor
ium was ample proof of the deep
growth of public interest in musical
matters, and in the Y. M. C. A. Lecture
and All Star Artists Course of which
this event was a number.
Miss Elvyn more than justified our
expectations notwithstanding the
splendid reputation which preceded
her. 1t is safe to say that no superior
artist has ever been heard in Brook
ings.
While her program vas by no means
light, the beauties of her interpreta-
ton rendered the heaviest numbers
both ineligible and enjoyable to the
least informed.
Brahs whose works are SO often
pounded into an unintelligible state
was splendidly indicated by the life
and beauty impaired to his Rhapsody
in E Flat.
Chopin was represented by his Noe
turne in G Major and the A Flat Pol
onaise the former with a clarity of
technic and dynamic effects which
cannot be excelled.
The lightness of the Paganini-Liszt
Etude and Mendelssohn Scherzo, was
balanced by the intense List Legend
of st. Francis"
The program was brought to a mag
niicent conclusion by the Schulz.
Evler" arrangement Of the Strauss
blue Danube" Waltzes.
Miss Elvyn's performance was char
acterized by clean technic, exquisite
phrasing and pedaling and most effect
i've dynamics. These qualities bal.
anced by her unusual mental powers
and splendid physique will doubtless
soon place her foremost in the ranks
of women pianists.
The final number Of the course Is to
be announced later as no satisfactory
substitute for DR.. Stainer has yet been
secured.

CIVIC FAC MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of the
Civic League was held last Friday
afternoon in the Commercial Club
with Mrs. Lillian Smith, presi.
dent of the organization, in the chair.
The large attendance gave evidence of
the interest that Is being shown in
the campaign for new members which
is now in progress. After the business
of the afternoon was enacted, the pres.
ident introduced Prof. Hoy who spoke
to an interested audience upon the
subject, "A Digest Of Ordinances re-
lating to the public welfare" Prof.
Hoy read a number Of state laws which
empower city councils to pass city or.
dinances and later read a number of
city ordinances relating to sanitation
and public nuisances. The ladies asked
many questions of the speaker, inquir.
ing in detail as to the duty of the
board of health, and as to the author
ity vested in the health officer. A mo-
ton was carried to tender Prof. Hoy
a vote Of thanks for his interesting
and instructive talk. The question
came up as to whether 1t is legal for
women to vote in municipal educa-
tional affairs. The lookout committee

for the reception which the league will
give to the lady school teachers, the
lady faculty members. the wives of
the faculty members and the student
girls, Friday evening. March goth were
discussed. After adjournment. light
refreshments were served and a pleas
ant social hour enjoyed.

WoMEN's INSTITUTE MEETS

Last Saturday afternoon the officers
and executive committee of the Brook
ings County Farm Women's Institute
met in the farmers room at the court
house. The meeting was called to
order by the president, Mrs. Morley.
The minutes of the meeting held
February 26, at which the institute
was organized, were kindly furnished
by Mrs. Bracket. These we're read
by the secretary, Mrs. Faulkner. Mrs.
Smith made a motion which vas sec
onded and unanimously accepted, Civ
ing the organization its name. All
felt that for the present their chief
aim and effort should be to get the in.
stitute well started and secure the in
terest and attendance of the farm wo'
men. The officers want them to feel
that the organization is theirs in every
way. To further this feeling 1t was
decided to invite the women of Brook
ings county and the surrounding neigh
borhood to bring their families, friends
and lunch baskets and join in a pic
mic dinner on the college campus. If
possible this will be held June 20. This
is n of the days of the farmers con
ference, given under the auspices of
the State College. On this date
it Is expected there will be some good
speakers On subjects of interest to
farm women. Mrs. Craze and Mrs.
Luckinbill were made a committee to
e the officers of the farmers insti.
tute to see what, IL any, funds were
available. After deciding to call an
other meeting soon the meeting was
adjourned. Mrs. Craze, Cor. Sec'y.

COUNTY ROAD WORK

A petition praying the county com
m~issioners to buy proper machinery
for carrying on systematic road work
throughout the county has been cir
culated in this city and has been sign
ed by every automobile owner in Volga
and the surrounding countryside
farmers owning cars having signed the
same as readily as the auto owners liv-
ing in the city. The license law says
that the money collected from automo-
bile owners must be used for road
work and does not provide for the ma
chinery, but in order to accomplish
very much in the way of good roads
it is necessary to have an engine and
graders, ETC., to carry on the work.
The people of this vicinity who have
signed the petition believe that as
long as all people derive a benefit from
good roads, the burden of maintaining
them should be borne by all, and that
if the auto pay for the labor,
coal, oil, and other necessary ex-
penses. the people of the county as a
whole should purchase the machinery.
The Tribune understands that some of
those in authority believe that 1t is
cheaper to hire or rem the necessary
machinery, rather than for the county
to buy it outright. This may be so
but would 1t be cheaper in the long
run? In order to maintain a crew of
men throughout the summer 1t would
be necessary to keep them at work
every day, and If renting machinery
was to be depended upon, could this
always be done? II it should be de-
cided to rent machinery instead of pur-
chasing, the auto owners of Volga and
vicinity believe that the money ex-
pended for renting should come out of
the general funds of the county, and
not out of the auto fund, as it is not
fair that the auto owners should bear
the entire expense.
The Tribune understands that the
auto FUND is to be used in each com
missioner district in proportion to the
amount of tax received from the sew
eral districts. This arrangement is
proper, but it is not necessary to split
the fund up in small sums each year
in order to accomplish such division.
This paper believes that main high.
ways should be laid out and the work
carried on systematically for a mum.
Der of years. The coming season the
work should be done upon the main
road known as the BLACK and Yellow
trail, that enters the county just east
of Elkton and apsses through that city
Aurora, Brookings and Vorga and
leaves the county at Arlington. The
next work should be done on the north
and south main road known as the
Meridian" road. After that main line
roads connecting all the cities and
towns of the county should be worked
systematically, until B%rookings county
leads the state in the matter of good
roads.-Volga Tribune.

"HIAWATHA"

The "Hiawatha Music" by Samuel
Coleridge-Taylor, a colored man born
in England, the words or text taken
from Henry Wadsworth L~ongfellow's
story of "Hiawatha," will be the next
and last of a very successful eason Of
choral works given by the BrUokings
Choral Union, under the direction Of
Mr.. Garrett Hedge.
The "Hiawatha Music" comprises
three parts, the first "Hiawatha's We'd
ding Feast" the second The Death
of Minnehaha;" the third "Hiawatha's
Departure" The first part which is
made up of some of the most beautiful
harmonies that has occurred in any of
the strictly modern writings, has the
joyous major strains that are so well
fitted to the happy festive season of a
wedding. Some of the notable char
acters in the Indian Folk Lore are de-
scribed in verse and set to the most
appropriate music that could be i'm
agined, also in this part the wonder
full tenor solo, "Onaway, Awake, Be
loved" the song of Chibiabos, The
sweetest of all singers, the best OF all
musicians" The part closes with some
of the adventures and boastings of the
marvellous story-teller "Iagoo, and
when the Wedding-banquet is ended
the guests departed leaving Hiawatha
happy with the night and Minnehaha.
The second part is descriptive of the
long and dreary winter, of how the
SHOWS covered all the forests and the
wigwams and hid the tracks of the
deer and rabbit, 81 no fuel or meat
could be obtained by the hunters, then
came the famine and the fever, the
Indian then prayed to the great spirit,
the master of life, "Hitche Mantle"
the mighty, to give them food, or they
would perish, he cried for food for his
Minnehaha, his dying Minnehaha, the
cry echoed and re-echoed through the
vast and vacant forests until the cry
came back, M~inehaha, Minehaha, and
after wandering day after day looking
for provisions he returns home empty
handed and hears the cry Of his peo-
pie moaning, Wahonomin, Wahonomin,
which interpreted is a cry of lamenta-
ton and death. After a heart break
ing cry of anguish, he buries his Min
nehaha, and says Farewell, Mime
haha, Farewell, o My Laughing Water,
Dol your footsteps l shall follow to the
land Of the Blessed to the land Of the
hereafter"
The music Of this part Is mostly In
the minor key, which brings out the
deep feeling and sufferings of the In
dian race during the great trials they
were having to pass through, then at
times a major strain Sits in and a
quickening of the time fills the fork
with color and beauty. Some of the
climaxes that are brought forth are
tremendous in their effect.
The third part will not be given this
season, but the two parts already de,
scribed above will be given Tuesday
evening, March oath, at the college
auditorium.
Mr.. Charles Edward Clark, Of Chi
cago, n of the leading baritones of
the country, will sing the part "Hia-
watha." Miss Laura Ferguson, who
has SO capably sung the leading parts
in Faust" and the Messiah. will
sing the part Of "Minnehaha." Mr..

Total.

This does not include the attendance
of the Sunday schools or other church
organizations, which would boost the
figures about 1000. A large number
attended but one service, so that it is
safe to predict that over two-thirds of
u population of 1000 visited the
churches on Sunday. Can any South
Dakota city show a better record.

G~o-To-cHURcH SUNDAY

Go-to-Church Day last Sunday was

The majority of the churches report
a larger attendance, and the increased
interest in the churches and their
work as a result of the day cannot
help but be beneficial to the com,
