BURNED TO A

Tuesday morning Of last week, Wal
ter II. Wheaton, of Deadwood, and a
former resident of this city, was
burned so badly by the explosion of a
gasoline stove that he died that after
moor In an account Of the accident
given in the Telegram of that city, we
learn that he had by mistake used
gasoline to help start a kitchen fire
and from the resulting fire he receiv-
ed the burns that caused his death.
His father, A. II. Wheaton, was for.
merly professor of dairy culture at the
college and Walter lived here several
years. He entered the railway mail
service while here. He was married
and leaves a widow and four children,
the eldest II and the youngest a baby
of 8 months. For some time he had
been conducting an auto repair and
vulcanizing shop in Deadwood, and
was quite successful. The funeral
was held last Saturday and his PAL
ents, who live in Rapid City, and other
relatives were present.

CAPTAIN MATsON TO LEAVE

Captain Joseph Matson, professor Of
military science and tactics at State
College, has received notice from the
U. S. wal department to arrange mat.
ters connected with government prop
erty and accounts in such manner that
his return will not be necessary after
the close of college and to'prepare to
leave for other duty promptly upon re-
ceipt of orders. This order applies
also to assistants in military science
and non-commissioncd officers of the
active list. The authorities Of all in
stitutions are informed that the pres
ent emergency will necessitate the
withdrawal of all active officers and
non-commissiOned officers at the end
Of the academic year.
Captain Matscn expects an order
from the war department at any time
to go to Fort Smelling to take the ex-
animation for his promotion to the
rank of major. The coast artillery of
which he is an officer is being rapidly
increased and all officers being sen to
active duty. Bookings will miss this
family, as both Captain and Mrs. Mat.
son have been ever ready to do their
share in the work of organizing and
building up the activities of the town.
The Red Cross chapter will feel lost
without Mrs. Matson at it's head, as
her experience and natural ability have
made her an ideal executive for such
an organization.

THE cOLuE0IAN EDITOR

The Register wants to say a few
words about the editorial and manger-
ial force of the last two numbers of the
Industrial Collegian. Ws have had the
whole force around for several days Of
each of the two weeks, and for all
around effective work, whether 1t be In
furnishing copy, rustling advs, read
ing proof, or anything else required,
we have found that he was a force to
be depended upon. He kept his prom
ises about furnishing copy, he came
and read proofs when he said he would
and If any other thing was needed he
was there with the goods. We all lost
track Of his name soon after the asso-
citation began and aff%ectionately call
ed him Hopper" but that seemed all
right with him and it sure expressed
our sentiments. These two numbers of
the Collegian were up to and far be-
yond the average of a. that have been
published since the paper was started,
and on account of his ability and for
his unfailing courtesy and good nature,
we offer our respects to Harmon Kop-
perud, editor and business manager,
and as far as we saw the whole force.
He is a mighty bright fellow from the
top of his head down.

AO|RECT APPEAL
TO THE COUNTY
COUNTY Committeeman KILLING
ISSUES A GENERAL LETTER
TO ALL COUNTY MEMBERS
FIRST M{ET|NeOF COUMTYCOUNCM HELD
Attendance at Council Meeting Limit
e5-Plans Talked over For
Future Work

In order hat the whole county can
be in touch with the efforts that are
being put forth by the County Council
OF Defense, We publish below a general
letter sent out by Mr.. Killing to all
the committeeman in the county. 1t
covers the matters for immediate con-
sideration and should have the care
full perusal Of every resident in the
county:
Dear Sir:
In a recent communication from Mr..
Chas. McCaffree, secretary OF the
State Council of Defense, the follow
ing suggestions were offered:
/. The cooperation of the ministers
of every church is asked that on next
Sunday, preceding as it does the Regis
tration Day, the minister be asked to
give a part of a service to preaching
the ideals of democracy and stimulat-
ing patriotism. The nation is at war
and every citizen has some duty to
perform. Can you see or reach the
ministers in your township and ask
their cooperation?
2. Including the loyalty idea comes
the registration of all between q and
80 inclusive as required by law and
also the subscription for Liberty
Bonds. Dollars are needed as well as
bullets. 1t is suggested that those
that register be decorated with some
suitable emblem such as a ribbon, 81
Have Registered" we may yet work
out this idea.
3. All township committeeman should
assist in any way possible upon Regis
tration Day.
4. All members of the State Council
agree that mayors and town boards
should prohibit the use of fireworks
upon the Fourth. A good idea, don't
you think? Can you do anything in
your township?
would suggest that We all unite in
seeing that there are not any loafers
in the county. Food is scarce and a
loafer consumes what should go to
honest producers, soldiers, and our
allies. There is work for anyone who
wants to work.
There are not any funds for this
work as yet. | am donating my time
as well as stamps, etc, and know that
everyone will assist in anyway pos
sible. Any suggestions that you may
have will be appreciated.
Thanking you for your support, am
Very truly yours,
Fred Killing,
County Chairman.

CURWEN-HAMILTON

Thursday at IL O'Clock at the Presby-
terrain manse occurred the marriage of
William r. Curwen and Miss Rhoda
Hamilton. Rev. William A. Mast per
formed the ceremony, using the ring
service.
Mr.. Curwen is a young mechanic of
Elkton. He is a young man of good
habits and fine promise.
Mrs. Curwen is a young woman who
is we'll known to a large circle Of
friends with whom she is very popular
and who unite in wishing Mr.. and Mrs.
Curweh q long and happy married life.
The young people will make their home
in EIkton, where Mr.. Curwen holds a
responsible position.

On Monday afternoon a meeting was
held at the call of Mr.. Killing, but the
number desired was not out. The COM
mitteemen were organized by the cleo
ton of G.. p. Sexauer as secretary, and
listened to an address by Dr.. Perisho
and some remarks by Mr.. Killing and
Mr.. S~exauer. This may have been
alright for a starter but tho county
committeeman feels that he must have
more hearty support from the whole
county, if BrcCkings county is TO show
up as she should in this matter of pre-
~paredness. Being the location of the
State College, the residence of DR..
Perisho, a member Of the state coun-
ell of defense, the wnole state looks
for something to be done here, that Is,
more than is expected of other coun-
ties. The committee selected by Mr..
Killing must rally to his support and
work with him.

NEW STORE o

The new front in the Harris & Hyde
building gives that structure an en-
tirely different appearance. The add.
ed display space makes it far more
valuable to the Columbia Clothing CO.,
and the approach to the store is much
more convenient. The style of the
front Is entirely different from any
others in town and seldom seen in the
smaller cities. being however very pop
ular in big cities where crowded con.
ditions call for all the window space
possible.

MEMORIAL DAY|S
OBSERVED BY CITY
IN KEEPING WITH CUSTOM OUR
CITIZENS DO REVEREND HON.
AGE TO SOLDIER DEAD
SUNDAY SERMON TO PATRIOTIC ORDERS
Wednesday Parade Misunderstanding
Sherwood Orator at Big Opera
House Meeting

In keeping with the custom that has
been ours since the earliest days this
city held a reverent observance of
Memorial Day on yesterday. AS is
also the custom, the patriotic orders
attended church in a body on Sunday
evening at the M. E. church and listen
ed to a sermon preaCned by the Rev.
l M. Hargett. pastor. Rev. A. N. Por-
ter presided and conducted the SER
vice; Prof. Garrett Hedge, of the col.
lege. sang a solo, and impressive and
appropriate music was furnished by
the chorus choir Of the church. Mr..
Hargett took the character of the great
American martyr, Lincoln, as the cen
ter theme of his discourse, and from it
wove a picture of mans duty to man
and to his God, that will impress in
delably upon his hearers the truth that
it is mot all of life to live" The
church was crowded and the arrange
ments as planned by the orders were
carried out splendidly.
For Wednesday a very complete pro-
gram had been planned for the care
full observance of the day, but the
weather had something to say about
that, and rain compelled the abandon
ment of the morning parade and visit
to the burial grounds.
In the afternoon, in spite of the
weather, the opera house was filled to
enjoy the program of exercises. The
singing numbers by Miss Linn, and by
Misses Trimble and Colfx were very
delightfully."- rendered. The emergency
demonstration by the boy scouts was
very good; the reading by Hubert
Mathews was good; Frances Bonesteel.,
who came from WATERFOWL to appear,
gave a splendid recitation of 1.-THE
Little Rebel"
The grafton delivered by Judge c..
G.. Sherwood, was one of the very best
talks we have ever heard the Judge
give. Covering, as all public talks do
now days, the question of patriotism,
the judge did not endulge in any of
the old phrases and give Us any of the
hackneyed ideas that are so often used
on such occasions. His entire ad-
dress was full of clean and clear new
ideas to help one appreciate his
tr, orI o;xn - fho f,y,nk og
his devotion. One never hears Carl
G. Sherwood without feeling that they
have listened to a man whose words
and thoughts originate in a brain that
has no carnal or unclean thoughts.
J. H. Hubbard presided over the
meeting and Prof. Peterson of the col
lege had charge of the music. 1t was
a good patriotic meeting.
The parade having been abandoned
for this day, it was decided that it be
held on Registration Day, and thus
help the due and right observance Of
that day in keeping with the dire
tons of the President. The merchants
and all the people of the city are urged
to make next Tuesday one of the
greatest patriotic days that the town
has ever een Arrange your business
provide the decorations, and otherwise
do your level best to let all the world
know that we are in line for the fiag.
Let the parade that is arranged for
that day be the grandest display that
