Probably be Returned


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 a couple Of months
ago and convicted of breaking into
a railroad car and stealing mer-
chandise 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 mar 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.

of Illinois, who took the case under
advisement until he could CORE
spond with Gov. Byrne Of this
state, saying that if the latter in.
sisted on the requisition after he
had correspondent 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
cas- would be deplorable, as it
would tend to prohibit the paroling
of any convicted man in the future,
ever 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 l%eniency along this line in
the future, and If the young man
is brought back and made to serve
out his sentence, it will be a warn
ing to others that will not be un-
needed.

A Fine Instrument


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 fol-
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 G. booking. To add q
final touch to the excellence of his
nightly offerings Mr.. Nelson re.
Gently purchased a Seeburg Pipe
Organ Orchestra player and in
stalled the same last Friday. This
is the only instrument Of its kind
in South Dakota and was installed
at a cost Of $4,000. The Seeburg
player is a 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
a sweet toned instrument identical
with most of the large pipe organs
used in the churches, the bass notes
having a beautiful deep, resound-
ing tremor that fills the auditorium.
The instrument was purchased
through the Stone Piano Co. of
Fargo. Mr.. A. G. Station, a 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
a 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 a foregone conclusion.

The AeOlian Vocation
The Greatest Instrument of the Pho.
nOgraph Type Will Soon be on
Display at the Emanuel
Furniture store

How short a time since the talk
ing machine was a dream in the
minds of a few men-a curious toy
to the world. And do you remem-
Der how interesting were those
crude machines, those scientific mar
wells 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 a 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 monograph, the
Aeolian Company, t h worlds
greatest music concern, has produc-
ed a 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 photograph 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
mes 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-
liam Vocation. Than you will be-
gin to e the greater destiny Of
the photograph.
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. +. 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.

At a 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 W for definite action at the
regular meeting to be held on the
18th inst, notification 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 a 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 a business propo-
sition and for business purposes.
1t has a field which a not be fill
ed by any social club, which Of
necessity will be restricted in
membership, and be more expensive
financially to its 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.

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 a day for
table use, for which he gets s cents
a dozen. Sold in this way his
sweet corr 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 O%rtonville. 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 a chance to try it out on his
tomatoes and canteloupes, with
very good results. He has pipe
line laid on the surface with spray

Concrete Tile
4 Milbank Product That is Becoming
Appreciated

\ MllDank mat Is becoming
Appreciated
Mr.. e. 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, MI. 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 a 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 a steam curing
room, similar to a turkish bath,
the tile l. seasoned in the yard
for at least two weeks The
tile at that age + not as strong
as a number one clay tile but
closely correspond to a clay tile
Of second grade. At this age
they + plenty strong enough
to put in the ditch.
The concrete tile rapidly i'm
prove IN the ditch, that is cement
is crystalized 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
a four inch tile that is usually
consederd of no strength had de-
veloped into a tile that would
hold a 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
it's product
A word might be said about
the manufacture of the tile. "A
man can mix concrete IN several
ways and get a 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 40 stones large
enough to allow weak places in
the walls Of the tile. Cement
play a more impor tant part than
in any other grade Of work. 1t
must be uniform. finely pulveriz.
ed and quick setting. After e.
peated tests Of the several brands
VI OClICIlU uSuuIy SOIu Ill Wills
territory Universal cement was
finally found to be the best suit
ed for the work.
It is planned at some future
date to equip the factory for the
handling of cement in bulk as by
SO doing there will be 4 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.

Consolidated April II 1890
a Legislative Budget System

budget system of state appro-
prlatlons | deem it advisable TO
call attention to the same and
explain some of the reasons why
1t would seem advisable to ADOPT
SUCH a system, providing the
legislature is backed up by pub
llc sentiment in favor of such a
system.
10 those who are not familiar
with legislative procedure so
far as the appropriation of state
money for the maintenance of
state institutions l might say
that such appropriations are
known as general appropria-
lions, but in fact are appropria-
tons which by their application
are special and the funds created
thereby can only be used for the
specific institution for which
they are appropriated. For in
stance the appropriation made
tor the state college can in no
part be used for the state uni
verslty and if the appropriation
for the state college was more
than was necessary for it's main
talnance the balance would go in
to the general fund of the state
although there might be a deficit
IN the maintenance fund of the
state university, which WOULD
be carried over to the next legis-
lative session and made up by
that body, while if the amount
necessary for the maintenance
of all the institutions could be
embraced in one fund and war
rants drawn on such fund for the
care of all institutions then there
could be but one deficiency or
one balance at the end of the
fiscal year.
The maintenance of these in
stitutions are all charges upon
the state and should be main
tanned from a business point Of
view and the amount of the fund
for such maintenance should be
worked out by some one compe-
tent to work it out prior to open
ing of the session of the legis-
lature. When | say a business
point of view | ought to explain
by asking this question. Suppos-
ing a young man took the pre-
caution of laying aside a fund for
his personal clothing during the
year would he set aside a certain
amount for shoes, another for
shirts, another for hats and caps,
etc. and if his fund for shoes be-
came exhausted and his shoes
were worn out would he go bare
foot for the balance of the year
or get trusted for shoes while he
yet had money to his credit in
the entire fund? No, l think he
would make the fund applicable
to all of his needs and draw upon
the one fund instead Of having
a dozen or more funds some Of
which were exhausted before
the end of the year and others
having a balance.
Again, the preparation Of a
budget before the opening Of the
session by some one in touch
with the needs of the several in
stitutions would eliminate the
presumed necessity of taking a
few members Of the legislature
on a junketing expedition, ex-
penses paid, to show them a good
time and get them right on the
appropriation pending for such
institution. The budget having
been prepared in advance would
give the legislative body some
opportunity Of studying its
amounts before having to vote
on same. Does the proposition
appeal to you from > business
legislative stand point?

|SINNOTT PREDICTS
HUGHES ELECTION

Representative N. ]. Sinnott, who
returned to his home at The Dalles
last week, said that the drift in the
eastern states was strong toward
Hughes: that the overwhelming major.
ity of the Progressives had returned to
the Republican party and were enthu-
siastic in the support to Candidate
Hughes.
"The Progressives who are strong
protectionists," he said. "could not
over look the dismal failure of the
Underwood revenue tariff before the
outbreak of the European war, result
ing in balance of trade of $3.50. 900. 900
against US, as we'll as the neglect Of
the Democratic party to take steps to
protect US against the avalanche of
foreign-made products after the cessa-
tion of hostilities.
The public is not deceived about the
cause of the war prosperity with ex-
ports due to the war totsling near to
$4. 600. 600. 900. They shudder to think
of the disastrous effects when the
termination Of the war will cut off the
demand for the necessaries of war and
the tide of imports starts towards our
unprotected shores.
The enthusiastic throngs greeting
the speeches of Hughes are sure in
dex of his election"
Mr.. Sinnott called at the New York
and Chicago Republican headquarters.
where all were absolutely certain OF
Republican success in November.

FOREST MEN RETURN
FROM MOUNT ADAMS

Forest Officers Merritt, Brundage
and Osborne returned last week to
Portland from a trip to the summit of
Mount Adams made for the purpose
of selecting a site for lookout sta
tion on that peak. Ranger Lickel and
Mr.. Fuhrer accompanied them.
The trip was made by way OF euler,
Wash. From euler to the snowline,
a distance of 10 miles, tie trip was
made partly by machine and partly on
foot. The main summit covers an area
Of about l60 acres of rolling country.
which seemed level when compared
with the lower, sleeper slopes of the
mountain. About half mile to the
west of the summit is a separate pin
nacle about $50 feet lower in elevation
which was also visited.
This pinnacle was chosen as the site
for a lookout station. on which will be
built a standard lookout cabin. This
cabin will be l2x12 feet, with cupola
or coming tower feet square. Both
main cabin and cupola will have solid
strip of window glass on all sides.
The sub-station, equipped with tele-
phone and fire finder. will probably be
established on the main summit.
Mount Adams is IL, 307 feet In eleva-
tion, or about 1000 feet higher than
Mount Hood where very successful
station has been maintained for the
past two fire seasons.
When the party returning. arrived al
Gotchen Creek Ranger Station, they
found a telephone message for Ranger
Lickel informing him that fire had
been discovered near the timber line
on Mount Adams. This fire had been
sighted by Manager Coleman. the look.
out on Mount Hood, 55 miles distant,
and reported to the ranger station
through the district Office in Portland,
the message reaching the ranger sta.
tion an hour and half after the fire
started. 4
