c. A. SKINNER RETIRES

This week C.. A. Skinner retired
from the list of Brookings active bust
hess men, after a connection of thirty
two years with the mercantile inter-
ests of the city. The mercantile es-
tablishment, known as the Skinner
department store, with which he was
so Ion connected, is now the Ellis &
Hall department store, and it will
hereafter be known by that name. Mr..
Skinner has been practically out Of
the business for several months, hav-
ing sold an interest last February to
F. M. Ellis and last fall Charles K.
Hall purchased another interest in
the company. However, it was only
this week that Mr.. Skinner turned
over his key and stepped down and
out.
Mr.. Skinner has been connected
with the mercantile interests of the
city so long that it will seem strange,
especially to the older citizens, to
have him retire. "Skinner's store
has been a familiar term for years,
but human nature adapts itself quick
ly to changes and it will not be long
until the ELLIS & Hall store" will be
as familiar.
Mr.. Skinner is one of the pioneer
residents of the city, coming here as
a young man thirty-two years ago, and
he has eel BroOkings grow from a
struggling village into a splendid little
city. He has been here through hard
times and through good times, and
he has seen Brookings county lands
rise in value from a dollar or two an
acre to 800 an acre. Today there is
not a man in active business who was
a merchant here when he came, and
he has seen hundreds of business men
come and go. He has always been a
booster and active in any movement
for the betterment of Brookings.
When he first came to Brookings
Mr.. Skinner entered the employ of r.
H. Williams, the first merchant of the
town, and after working for him for
some time he branched out in the
grocery business for himself. Twenty
seven years ago last fall he establish
ed the general store of c. A. Skinner,
which grew into the c.. A. Skinner de-
partment store, and it was located on
the same corner that the big store
now stands. In 1893 Mr.. Skinner
moved his store to the Temple block,
where it was located until twelve
years ago, when the New Century
block, the present splendid home OF
the department store, was built.
During all these years Mr.. Skinner
was building his store on the theory
of honest goods at right prices, and
this combined with judicious adver-
Using brought him abundant prosper
ity. MI. Skinner is undecided as to
what he will do, but will probably go
west, and wherever he and his family
may locate they will carry with them
the good wishes of a host of Brook
ings friends.

DEAD BODY Of
CHILD FOUND
BODY OF INFANT Is DISCOVERED
AT DUMP GROUNDS WEST
OF THE CITY
SHOWS CHILD WAS ALIVE
When Born and Marks on Body Indi-
cate II Was Murdered-No Defin-
lite CIews Have Been Found

While looking for old rubber at the
city dump grounds last Thursday after
noon James Larson came upon the
body of a female child. Mr.. Larson
notified the authorities here and the
body was brought to the city and an
inquest held Friday morning before
Justice Grover. DR.. A. H. Stoll, who
made an examination of the body,
testified that the child was born alive
and lived some little time. The body
showed some marks Of violence, the
neck being blackened and 1t seemed
to be the opinion that the child was
strangled to death. The jury, consist
ing of R. F. Kerr, R. H. Bartlett, and
F. e. Youngburg, brought in a verdict
that the child's death was feloniously
brought about by unknown persons.
When Mr.. Larson found the body 1t
was only lightly covered with some
manure, and one foot was sticking
out, indicating that whoever left 1t
there was in very much of a hurry or
was frightened away. There was no
clothing of any kind on the body. 1t
was evident that it had been placed
there but a few days previous, and
after the heavy snow on New Years.
The child was perfectly normal in
every way and well developed, and
evidently did not come to its death
from natural causes.
The body is being held awaiting
word from the state university, as the
state law requires that all bodies un-
claimed be turned over to the uni
versity medical school If they so
desire.
One or two vague rumors have been
heard, but no definite clue as to the
guilty parties have been discovered.
In a town of this size 1t should be an
easy matter to trace down the guilty
party or parties. 1t does not seem pos
sible that a child could be born here
without at least several people know
ing of it, and If the authorities are
alive at all they should be able to run
down the guilty persons. This is a
most serious crime, and should not go
unpublished. If it was done by some
girl to hide her shame we would like
to see the man in the case brought to
the bar of justice with her.

SEGREGATION MATTER UP

The city council held a special meet
ing Monday evening to consider the
matter of setting out the farm lands
now taxed by the city. The question
was discussed at great length, but no
agreement was reached. It would
look as though the farmers within
the city pay more than their share of
the taxes, everyone SEEM to concede
that, but just how to go about the cor
rection of the evil Is the problem. An
other meeting will be held within a
few days and II no satisfactory agree
ment is reached the farmers propose
to bring the matter up in the circuit
court and ask for relief.

pleasure Of attending, and said that
he was sorry to leave Brookings and
the college. His relations have been
so pleasant here that it will be
hard to sever them, and he said that
he would always hold Brookings and
the State College in high regard.
T. W. Dwight of Sioux Falls, a mem
Der of the state board of regents, was
the next speaker. He started out by
saying that he was glad the students
were such a clean bunch of young
men, he was satisfied of this by their
liberal use of soap. Getting into a ser
ious vein Mr.. Dwight said that the
college had made wonderful progress
during the past six years, the attend
ance just about doubling and in that
time the buildings and equipment of
the institution were doubled. He said
that the legislature had been gener-
Gus, but that everything 1t had given
had been needed and there was a cry

building was badly needed, as well as
an addition to the girls dormitory, as
there are now forty-five young ladies
rooming down town who are unable
to find accommodations there. He
mentioned the difficulties in finding
rooming places for the large number
of students o here, and urged that
some of u citizens put up rooming
houses where the boys may find ac-
commodations. Mr.. Dwight said that
he wished to express his appreciation
on behalf of the college for the as.
sistance and cooperation that had al
ways been extended to the institution
by B%rookings people. Mr.. Dwight said
the regents regretted to remove DR..

believed that the institution at Vermil.

here. That may be true, but it does
not offer much consolation to Brook.
ings. Mr.. Dwight said that with DR..
Slagle at the head of the university
there should be more cooperation and
a better spirit of fellowship between
the two institutions, and his remarks
we're warmly a%pplauded.
Charles T.. Hall was the next speaker
and he talked on "Prunes and Pro-
gress." Mr.. Hall made a talk in which
he combined humor and good common
sense and he made one of the hits OF
the evening. He said that he came
back to Brookings, not because he had
to but because he thought 1t was the
best town on the map, and he made a
plea for more optimism and less pes
simism.
Bernard Sheehan, captain of next
falls football team, talked on the pros
poets for the season, which he said
were very good, and at the conclusion
of his speech the students gave nine
rahs for "Jakey."
The last speaker was Coach Ewing,
who complimented the town and col
lege upon the splendid manner in
which they support the athletic teams,
and he said that good support was of
great assistance to a coach In making
a winning team.
