while she has observed strict

troversy that has ragged for many
moons past between her husband,
Levi L. Conright, and one w. W..
Mount, as to their respective Prov

the Conright family are entitled to
first premium in Horticulture, to
which the aforesaid Mount makes
some feeble pretensions. AS proof
Of superiority she is exhibiting
this week . beautiful easter lille

ped the bulb in the ground last
spring without any expectation of
securing a bloom at this time of
the year out Of doors, and unless
Mr.. Mount can show something in
the floral line that can come into
competition with this September
easter lille she is going to forbid
Levi from hereafter associating
with said Mount on any more fish
ing excursions to the lake, furnish
ing him with angleworms or grubs,
or even accompanying him to the
dam on any pretext whatever.

of burglary for breaking into a
farm house in the township of
Pennington, and who were await
ing trial at the next term of court,
made their getaway. They were
allowed the liberty of the corridors

they improved the opportunity by
heating an iron poker in the stove
and burning out piece Of the

pecked a hole in the brick wall
sufficiently large to get through

kight, the all round bad man of
Big Stone lake was taken up to
Sisseton by Sheriff Minder last
week. Sol in former days used to
be up before the courts quite fre-
quently for illegal fishing, but this

him on a charge Of liquor selling,
and the Ortonville Journal says
that illegal liquor selling was not
the worst feature Of the joint
which he has been conducting on
the Island, as he has been gather
ing about him bevy Of mermaids
that should make him liable for
prosecution under the Mann or
white slave law. 1t will be a good

they are a menace to the decency
and safety Of people who congregate
at the lake resorts for legitimate

The .AeOlian Vocation
The Greatest Instrument Of the Pho.
nograph Type Will Soon be on
Display at the Emanuel
Furniture Store

How short time since the talk
ing machine was a dream in the
minds of few mena curious toy
to the world. And do you remem.
ber how interesting were those
crude machines, those scientific mar
vels Of earliest days! But with the
rapid development to the fine mod.
ern instruments, how quickly we
have learned to be critical.
Musical quality we now demand
Of the machenism which but few
brief ytars ago held no artistic in
terest at all. And that demand
has found response.
To-day-in the final phase of de-
velopment of the phonograph, the
Aeolian Company, t h world s
greatest music concern, has produc-
ed wonderful new instrument
the Aeolian Vocalion-a true musi-
cal instrument.
By it are sounded the purest
tones Of voice and instrument -
such tones as you never have heard
from a phonograph before. You
will wonder at mellow notes of the
woodwinds. the militant peal of the
brasses, the clear sweetness of So
prano and tenor, the vibrant rich
ness of baritone and basso.
But the revelation comes when
YOU find these beautiful tones an
sWering to your mood-When you
take the Graduola, the exclusive
Vocation expression device, and by
delicate, instructive pressure shade
each tone to whispering sweetness
or swell it to vital brilliance.
When you realize that you are
playing-that you have gained the
thrilling pleasure of musicianship
than you will understand the re-
volutionary significance of this re-
markable new instrument-the Aeo-
lian Vocation. Than you will be-
gin to see the greater destiny of
the phonograph.
Mr.. VIM. +. Emanuel of this
city has taken the agency for this
great musical instrument, and this
week Mr.. Geo. Dover, of the Stone
Piano Co., of Fargo had on display
in the VIM. F. Emanuel furniture
store one Of these monographs, and
we had the pleasure of hearing him
play several records. Within a
short time Mr. Emanuel will have
these instruments in stock and in
vites the public to come in and hear
them.

Probab bly, be Returned
Young Mooney the Box Car Thief Will
Likely Come Back to Serve
Sentence

States Attorney Rix and sheriff
Manley arrived home from Chicago
last Saturday having, gone there tc
secure the eXtradition of the young
man Raymond Mooney, who was
arrested here couple of months
ago and convicted of breaking into
railroad car and stealing mer-
chandlse from it. A two year
sentence was given the trio, but
sentence was suspended and Mooney
was paroled on condition that he
remain in the county and work was
provided for him at the farm Of
John Blem in Big Stone township.
The young man worked on the
farm but a few weeks and then
skipped out and returned to his
home in Chicago, thus violating his
parole.
The father of the boy is employ
ed as engineman in one of the
municipal plants Of Chicago. and is
necessarily more or less influential
in ward politics, and when a re-
QUESTION was sent for the young
man it developed that he was held
on some charge before a juvenile
court to prevent him from being
taken back to South Dakota. How
ever. States Attorney Rix present
ed the matter to Governor Dunno
of Illinois, who took the case under
advisement until he could corre-
spond with Gov. Byrne of this
state, saying that if the latter in
sisted on the requisition after he
had corresponded with him it
would be granted. The Chicago
Juvenile court continued the case
against Mooney until Sept. 80,
and placed him under $500 bonds,
SO that he would be on hand if the
requisition is granted.
A miscarriage Of justice in this
case would be deporable, as it
would tend to prohibit the paroling
Of any convicted man in the future,
even where the circumstances were
such as to make it seem advisable
to grant a parole. The breaking
of faith in this case will cause the
courts to feel less justified in grant
ing any leniency along this line in
the future, and If the young man
is brought back and made to serve
out his sentence, it will be warn
ing to others that will not be un-
needed.

COmmericalC Club

At meeting of the commercial
club last Monday evenidg, the COM
mittee to secure subscriptions re-
ported that they had about secured
the required amount as asked for by
the Breeders Association for prem
iuns.
The matter Of disposing Of the
furniture and present lease Of the
commercial club rooms to a new
social club to be organized on pure
ly social lines was presented and
after discussion the matter was
left over for definite action at the
regular meeting to be held on the
18th inst, notifiction of the object
OF the meeting to be given to all
members of the club.
Whatever action the club may
take in this matter it is sincerely
to be hoped that no action will dis
rupt the club as business organ
ization. The community can not
afford to be without something Of
this kind to which appeal can be
made to united effort in public
enterprises, and in whose hands the
furtherance Of Legitimate enter
prises may be placed. If the pre-
sent expenses Of the club are such
that it is not deemed wise to con-
tinue to keep them up by continu-
ing along the line heretofore follow
ed it may be we'll to dispose Of
the effects of the club that make
these expenses necessary, provided
a proper price was paid for them,
but the club organization should be
maintained as business propo-
sition and for business purposes.
1t has field which can not be fill
ed by any social club, which of
necessity will be restricted in
membership, and be more expensive
financially to it's members.
Milbank should not be without
a representative organization of it's
business that will be ready at any
time to speak authortatively for
and in its interests, no matter how
many other social clubs may be
formed.
The present matter in connection
with geeting subscriptions tor the
breeders exhibition this fall is only
one Of many instances where the
organization has been indispensable
in the promotion of public enter
prise that would undoubtedly have
fallen through had it been left to
individual actions to inaugurate
and carry through. Keep up the
club.

4 Fine Instrument
The SeebMrg Pipe Organ Orchestra
Installed at the Bentley Grand

Manager j. j. Nelson Of the
Bentley Grand seems to have one
domineering ambition, and that is
to give the people Of Milbank the
finest playhouse and entertainment
possible. A few weeks ago he
signed up with the Sullivan and
Consadine Vaudeville Agency for
vaudeville talent to be supplied
two nights each week. The Bentley
Grand is the only theatre beween
Aberdeen and the twin cities sup
porting S. and c. booking. To add a
final touch to the excellence Of his
nightly offerings Mr.. Nelson re-
Gently purchased Seeburg Pipe
Organ-O Orchestra player and in
stalled the same last Friday. This
is the only instrument Of its kind
in South Dakota and was installed
at cost Of $25OO. The Seeburg
player is combination of the pipe
organ and all the brass and reed
parts of a regulation orchestra and
may be played by a musician or
operated simply as a mechanical
instrument the same as player
pianos. The pipe organ attach
ment offers to the skilled musician
sweet toned instrument identical
with most of the large pipe organs
used in the churches, the bass notes
having beautiful deep, resound-
ing tremor that fills the auditorium.
The instrument was purchased
through the Stone Piano Co. Of
Fargo. Mr.. A. g. Station, repre-
sentative, having been here the
fore part Of the week to inspect it.
The initial musical program was
given last Friday evening and a
capacity crowd was on hand to pass
judgment upon the innovation.
The general opinion was very
flattering to Mr.. Nielsen. Mr..
George Dover has been retained
for the week to operate the player
and his programs have been a
delight to the ear. On Wednesday
evening Of this week he played the
entire musical score for the Billie
Burke feature, Peggy" and his
execution of the difficult score,
written for the play by Victor L.
Schertzinger, contributed greatly
to the enjoyment Of the fascinating
story Of Peggy
Mr.. Nelson is to be commanded
for his great interest in giving
to Milbank a playhouse which has
reputation all along the line as
being the finest between Aberdeen
and the twin cities, and that his
interest will be substantially re-
Warded is foregone conclusion.

SOME GARDENING

Big Stone Headlight:
+. w. Thorndike has just finish
ed picking six acres Of Fancy Cros-
by sweet corn. The yield was
about four tons to the acre, and
the price at the factory was So
per ton. The fodder left will bring
about 81 an acre in the shock, max
ing $35 an acre.
Mr.. Thorndike is now marketing
about 100 dozen ears day for
table use, for which he gets 8 cents
a dozen. Sold in this way his
sweet corn pays him about $50 an
acre, and he sells about three acres
a year. Mr.. Thorndike ships to
Aberdeen, Groton and other points
besides supply ing the local market
here and at Ortonville. He is also
shipping tomatoes quite extensive
ly, and in a few days will begin
to gather about three acres of very
fine canteloupes.
Three years ago he put in an
irrigation plant, but has never had
occasion to use it until last July
when the hot, dry weather gave
him chance to try it out on his
tomatoes and canteloupes, with
very good results. He has pipe
line laid on the surface with spray
ing outlets every few feet, and ex-
poets to be able to ward off the
first light frosts Of the season by
it's use.

Concrete Tile
4 Milbank Product That is Becoming
Appreciated

4 Milbank Product That is Becoming
Appreciated
Mr.. q. w. Porter, an engineer
in the employ of the Universal
Cement Company, has just COM
pleted tests on the tile of the
local tile plant. In speaking
about the results, Mr.. Porter
stated that all the tile were of
the highest grade. They were
found superior to any clay tile
that had been tested and rank
among the very highest of the
concrete tile.
There are few interesting
facts concerning concrete tile
that very few people realize.
The tile are weakest when made,
after curing for at least twenty
four hours, in steam curing
room, similar to turkish bath,
the tile are seasoned in the yard
for at least two weeks The
tile at that age are not as strong
as a number one clay tile but
closely correspond to a clay tile
of second grade. At this age
Z they are plenty strong enough
to put in the ditch.
The concrete tile rapidly i'm
prove IN the ditch, that is cement
is crystaIized that previously
had | lain dormant in the tile
walls. AS the tile increases in
age, it becomes stronger for an
indefinite period, that is the
time for final crystalization is
unknown. Tile that have been
in the ground for six years have
been found almost unbreakable
when tested. These tile were of
four inch size, a size that is not
made now in many plants be-
cause Of the difficulty Of making
a good product. In other words
four inch tile that is usually
cOnsederd Of no strength had de-
velOped into a tile that would
hold ton per linear foot even
when the load was applied in a
straight line instead Of a bed as
Is the case in a ditch.
The local plant should be con-
graduated on the high grade Of
its product
A word might be said about
the manu- facture of the tile. A
man can mix concrete in several
ways and get passable side
walk, but the concrete for tile
must be exactly right. Enough
cement must be used TO fill AL
the volds in the gravel as coarse
gravel as possible must be- used
and still have no stones large
enough to allow weak places in
the walls Of the tile. Cement
play more impor tant part than
in any other grade OF work. 1t
must be uniform. finely pulveriz-
ed and quick setting. After re
peated tests of the several brands
of cement usually sold in this
territory Universal cement was
finally found to be the best suit
ed for the work.
1t is planned at some future
date to equip the factory for the
handling of cement in bulk as by
SO doing there will be y saving
on the cost of handling.
At the present the plant is
running at full capacity and
has orders ahead for most of
there product for the rest of the
year.
More than 40 cars Of tile have
been shipped the past few weeks,
going to Wilmot and to Peever,
and to Clinton, Graceville, Odessa
and other places in Minnesota.
Below is the average test for five
tile Of each kind tested. All run
over the requirements of the speci-
fications for the American Concrete
Institute.
