The insurance of the high school
building was adjusted the other day
and the board will get the sum of
~$6,497.S8, as the amount of damage
done covered by the policies. We un-
derstand the board will advertise for
bids to put the building in repair.
The big old tree on the corner by
the Masonic Temple has been cut
down, and looking down from the de-
pot, Main street looks as bare as if
it was undressed. This tree was be-
coming a to the building and
Mr.. Davis decided that safety first
called for it's downfall. John Roberts
performed the job satisfactorily. AS
far as we can learn from the memory
of old residents, this tree was planted
in 1881.

The Rev. w. B. Roberts, Episcopal
pastor at Dallas, and about fifteen
missions around the Rosebud coun-
try, who is a brother of our local
minister of the same church, has
been a visitor in the city this week
on his way home from the church
ccnvocation at Aberdeen to his home.
He is mentioned as the man who will
be appointed chaplain of the new
regiment of national guards hat is
being organized in the state. This ap-
pointment would be gratifying to his
many friends, as well as to the wives
of several other ministers who have
mentioned for the appointment.
He is well qualified, physically, men
tally and morally for the job. and the
governor would make no mistake in
the appointment.
Another bank change in the state
has been made which includes a
Brookings resident, also an ex-resi-
dent, in the list of new officers. The
Farmers State Bank of Onila, Sully
county, has been purchased from it's
former owners and the new officers
are Geo. w. Cobel, president, and
Patrick j. Murphy, vice-president. Mr..
Cobel is the cashier of the First Ma
tional here, and Mr.. Murphy was at
one time county auditor of this coun-
ty, but for several years has been liv-
ing at Pierre. He was known as
Joe" Murphy mostly. as that is his
but we know for a fact
that his true name is Patrick, and
that is no name for any Irishman to
be ashamed Of. Brookings capital
seems to be in demand all over the
to finance banks and other in-
ancial affairs.
