The lightning in the strange storm
last week did quite serious damage in
several parts of the state. Many cat
tie were killed in the western part Of
the state. The lightning struck in
several places in Bookings county,
but we have heard no reports of SER
ious damage. A telephone pole south
of town was shattered by n electri-
cal stroke. Old timers say that so
far back as their memory runs they
cannot recall of a thunderstorm in
February that equalled the one we ex-
perienced last week. Thunderstorms
have occurred before in February but
not with such violence, especially
especially when ne rain fell.
Mrs. Annie M. Swift, famous
through her husbands connection
with the great meat packing corpora
ton, Swift & Co., recently sent a gift
of $500 to Miss Mabel O. Woods, SUI
perintendent of the Dakota Deaconess
hospital of Brookings, to be applied on
the purchase of the new Victor X-ray
machine which will be installed at the
hospital this spring. Mrs. Swift's
benevolences have included the
Brookings hospital on several occa-
sions. Miss Woods states that our
local hospital will have one Of the best
X-ray equipments in the state. Very
few Of the smaller hospitals have such
equipment so Brookings is fortunate
in having one located in the city. Miss
Woods also complimented the ladies
Of Brookings on their interest and
work in the hospital aid.
Those who we're so fortunate as to
hear the vocal recital Of Prof. II. l..
Kohler at the college auditorium on
Monday evening speak highly of the
excellence of the program. Professor
Kohler was in fine voice and drew
copious applause from his apprecia-
tive audience. His program was d.
vided in four groups, including songs
Of many varities but which he gave
equally flawless Interpretation. He
was accompanied on the piano by Prof.
w. A. Peterson, and assisted by the
college string quartet under the di-
~rection Of Prof. Carl Christensen. This
was the first appearance Of the string
quartet and they made a decided
success of their part of the program.
Miss Anne Coughlan, Mrs. G. II. Gull
brandsen, Miss Elizabeth Solberg and
Professor Christensen compose this
quartet.
During the meeting of the South Da-
