A SHORT LIVED SECRET

The bride of the story told below
by the Mandan, N. D., Daily Pioneer,
of February %, is a daughter of Prof.
j. w. Browning, who a few years ago
was superintendent of Brookings city
schools, preceding the present super
intendent The young lady will be re.
.membered by many in this city. The
Daily Pioneers story follows:
miss Lenore Browning and William
Cummins were united in marriage
about 500 o'clock Saturday afternoon
by Rev. Postelwaite at the Presbyte-
rian manse at Bismarck. They were
attended by Mr.. and Mrs Edgar New
gard.
Miss Browning, who teaches Span
ish and Latin in the Mandan high
school, had been ill for about three
weeks and secured leave of absence
to go to her home at Belvidere, ILL.,,
to recuperate. The runaway marriage
was planned to take place at Steele,
the bride to continue on her way to
Illinois and announcements to be
made in June. However, her brother,
Albert ~ Browning, principal of the
high school at Columbus, Mont, ar
rived in the city to discover his sister
had left under rather mysterious con-
ditions, and with Miss Margaret Cum
Minis, sister Of the groom, and a
couple of friends began a search that
finally wound up in the vegetable room
of the Postlewaite basement where
the eloping bride and groom and
their attendants were found hiding
The entire party returned to Mandan
and a very merry informal wedding
supper took place at the Lewis and
Clark hotel.
1.-The bride, who is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Browning, Belvi-
dere, ILL.,, has taught in the local high
school for three years. The groom is
the eldest son of T. A. Cummins and
is connected with the Cummins-Ro
son company.
"Mr, and Mrs. Cummins left today
for Illinois where they will spend a
part of their honeymoon. Their scores
of friends while laughingly condoling
with them over the carefully laid plans
for secrecy going askew, nevertheless
wish them every happiness"

A FINE ENTERTAlNM EMIT

One of the most successful as well
as the most popular musical events
of the season was the presentation
of "H. NJ S. Pinafore," the comic op
era, by Gilbert and Sullivan, Tuesday
evening in the auditorium.
The cast and chorus were selected
from the college chapel choir and the
production was under the direction OF
Misses Grace Wynn, Nell Kendell and
Ruth Hjertas. Very effective accom-
paniments were afforded the cast by
the college orchestra, directed by Mr.
Christensen, with Miss Carlisle at the
piano.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
opera is a pioneer in the eld of Amer
ican comic opera, its music still has
the power to captivate and there IS
no doubt that it will continue to re,
tain its charm through number of
succeeding generations.
The work of the chorus was IN ,st
splendidly effective from the stirring
mems chorus of the introduction of the
finale, and showed the work of the
organization at it's very best.
Of the cast, Mrs. Claire Wiley Milne
in the role of Josephine carried high
honors, both her voice and person
ality being admirably becoming to her
part Her voice is true, sweet and
clear and under artistic control.
Miss Riley gave most pleasing rem
dering of the part of "Buttercup." She
is always favorite both because of
her personality and her delightful work.
Mr. Olson, as Ralph Rackstraw, dis
played a voice of unusual natural
beauty which has made him very pop
ular with Brookings audiences. His
work upon this occasion was extreme
ly creditable and pleasing.
Mr. Bemies proved a most effective
Sir Joseph Mr.. Stafford was very
successful Captain Corcoran, and Mr..
Bartlett played to advantage the pic
turesQue part Of Dick Deadeye.
Miss Wynn cannot be credited too
highly for the excellent work in de-
veloping the musical numbers and for
her energetic promotion of the pro-
duction, having devoted many hours
to the training of cast and chorus AS
we'll as attending to the many small
details necessary to production OF
this kind. Miss Kendall and Miss
Hjertas are also to be commended
for their excellent stage direction.

HIGH SCHOOLS TO BATTLE

South Dakota high schools are siren
uously grooming their basketball war
riors for the state championship tourn-
ament to be held at Huron, March 18
and 49, Interest in this big annual
event is running high, and every re-
port indicates that the championship
tournament this year will be battle
royal from start to finish
Special interest is attached to the
winning of the tournament this sea
son because of big silver cup Of
fered as prize by Huron college.
This cup was originally offered by the
college eight years ago to the high
school team that could win the state
championship three times, Since then
the cup has been won twice by the
Elkton team, and once by each of six
other teams Basketball fans now
point out that if Elkton can capture
the title this year it will win the much
coveted cup as a permanent trophy.
However, Redfeld, Aberdeen, ,Sa-
lem, Sioux Falls, Huron, and Lead
each has one count toward winning
the cup, and each is determined TO
make it two this year. Several dark
horses are also behaving suspiciously
as if anxious to try out on the home
stretch. So the big state mix next
month promises to be red hot basket
ball, and the fans are prophesying the
best high school championship tourna-
ment of recent years.

SAVE THE CHILDREN

Commencing with next Sunday,
March Z, there will be campaign in
Brookings county to raise FIVE thou
sand dollars to help in saving the chill
dren of the Near East from starva-
ton. The county is organized by
townships. Every man, woman and
child will be given chance to help.
Big donations are not expected, but
they will not be refused. Thirty-three
cents per capita for the county will
realize our amount. Gifts from all are
needed. We spend 1910 every year
for each person for candy in the
United States and all we ask is a
little of that amount to save those
babies. 1t takes sixty dollars year
to support those little ones across the
seas, and with our quota raised Brook
ing county will be keeping eighty
three of the children from death by
starvation. 1t is an appeal that must
touch the heart of everyone. 1t is a
duty and should be pleasure to aid
time March z, s or 9 you will be asked
TO give your mite. Give literally, that
we do not fall down in doing our part.
Give cheerfully, and realize the happi-
ness of saving one or more of these
little ones from painful death.
Hunger knows no armistice," and
for them the war for bread is still
being waged. Out of our plenty we
can easily give, and out of our happl-
ness we can well pass on, to those
who need, some of our own sunshine
and pleasure. Brookings county is
prosperous, and little do we person
ally know what it means to be hun
CRY. Want and suffering have passed
US by, and this appeal is made in the
name of suffering humanity to a
people who have always been gener-
Gus to fault. We cannot at this time
pass this appeal by or turn it down.
There Is nothing so helpless as hun
cry and suffering baby. These little
sufferers Of the Near East at this
time icall to you Tor the foOd tnat
will keep them alive for future in
which they can take vital part In
the reconstruction of the war-torn
countries of their birth. Brookings
county never refused when the call
for help was a worthy one, and this is
one of the most needy and worthy
that has ever been presented to man.
kind at any time We must do our
part and the time is next week, be
ginning ON Sunday Do not refush
the local collectors when they come
to you for your share of the fund that
we are called to raise. Congress is
delaying the work that 1t should do,
but the American people will attend
to this themselves.

THIS COUNTY INTERESTED

The project of utilizing the surplus
waters of the Big Sioux river in rails
ing the stage of water in Lake Poin-
sett to its former high level has found
it's way to the state supreme court.
This is due to opposition to the project
because of the alleged damage that
would result to farm land by the con-
struction of the monster ditch that
would be necessary. An injunction
was sought to prevent the construc-
tion of the ditch. Judge Skinner re-
fused to grant the Injunction, and the
case has been carried to the supreme
court on appeal from his action.
Those favoring the project are striv.
ing to have the case determined at
the April term of the supreme court.
but those opposing the project wish
the hearing held at the October term,
in order to delay the project as much
as possible.

SOUTH SIDE WANTS SEWERS

A good many people living in the
south part of the city, not yet reached
by the sewers nor water mains, are
demanding that this service be given
them. They say that as they have
been taxed to some extent to pay for
such improvements in the main part
of the city they are now entitled to
demand something in return. Their
idea as stated by some of them is
that the city as a whole should pay
for the sewer from the septic tank
west of the city as far as Main street.
If that is done, they say, they are
ready to take care of the city as far
east as Main street II that is done,
they say, they are ready to take care
of the expense in their part of the
city by the usual method OF assess
ment of costs against the benefited
abutting properties. They point out
that on the south side" there is fully
as good territory for extending the
growth of the city, and that at present
that territory offers better opportunity
for securing building sites for resi-
dences at reasonable prices than else
where in the city, and they believe
that il given sewer and water there
will follow great expansion of the
city to the south and southeast

A HOME ENTERTAINER

The community as well as the col
lege may well pride themselves In
a program such as was given by Mrs.
Claire Wiley Milne, graduate pianist.
in the auditorium Thursday evening.
The program was most exacting,
consisting OF Beethoven sonata, two
groups Of lesser numbers, and the en-
tire Greig concerto. Mrs. Milne proved
herself pianist of remarkable talent
and skill While the depth OF her
Interpretation of the sonata ex-
celled the ordinary, and the two
groups by classic and modern writer's
were splendidly rendered, the bril-
liancy Of the Grieg concerto afforded
a splendid climax to the program-
bringing into play extraordinary
power xnd dramatic erect.

FIRE DOES SMALL DAMAGE

The city fire department was called
out at about 900 o'clock Monday
morning to the residsace of Theo.
Martinson at 2O3 Sixth avenue, where
they quickly extinguished fire in the
roof Of the building which had. started
from defective flue. The flames had
crept up between the roof and the
plastered ceiling and burned through
the roof in several places. When the
fremen arrived they cut through the
plastering and used the hand chem.
ical apparatus, smothering the fire IN
short order. No water was used and
but little damage resulted from the
fire.
