Youthful Burglars.

Last Monday evening Chris. Adams
locked his harness shop and went to
supper as usual. When he returned
he saw that the trap door leading to
basement had been removed and was
not replaced in it's proper position.
The ground under the building is very
soft and on the floor of the shop he
found muddy tracks leading from the
trap door to the money drawer. Look.
ing down in the basement he found
youths tracks which were familiar
TO him he thought and starting out he
soon found two lads in secret conhab.
Making q bold front he made them
"own up" to having been in the shop.
The young burglars had crawled
through window in the basement
and lifted trap door. They went to
the money drawer and took some
silver therefrom, but lett quite an
amount in bills in the drawer. Evil

haul later on and wished tlespend.

On account OF the parents OF the
boys We with hold the names and hope
that this is the first and last misdeed
they will be guilty Of. 1t is bad

you than all the money you could Sc

kissing for Charity.

A lucrative scheme to earn mouey
for charitable enterprises will be fash
ionable in Brooklyn this fall 1t was
introduced at q church fair at Matti-
tuck, l.. L., las. week. and when it was
noised abroad a large attendance from
neighboring summer resorts WAS the
result. Young ladies having no time or
inclination for making fancy articles
for sale decided to offer their lips for
kissing purposes at twenty five cents
an operation. 1t is reported that the
proceeds OF this entertainment were
5000, OF which S16O was earned in the
k sing booth. Most of she girls who
carried ont this schems were from
Brooklyn, and their ages from 16 to
20 years.
Kissing tor charity can be como ucted
in a modest and mysterious way If
the booth is darkened and the sub
scriber is not permitted to see the per.
son whom he kisses. After the per-
formance, however, she gives him q
ticket, on which is printed number
which corresponds with the one op.
posite her name on the register. He

South DakO. "A Sugar Beet.

A Washington special to the Sioux
Falls Daily Press has the following to
say of the sugar beets raised on the
Agricultural college farm:
The report just issnrd by the secre.
tary of agriculture on the sugar beet
industry, devotes considerable space
to experiments made in South Dakota
by Prot. Luther Foster and James III.
Shepard, Of the agricultural station.
This was the second seasons test OF
the sugar beet in that state, and the
result gives better evidence of the crop
value to South Dakota, both for stock
feeding and sugar making.
The report says while the crop was
not 80 great, either in the per cent of
sugar of the yield OF roots p7r acre as
may reasonably be expected in more
favorable seasons or by following
more strictly the French and German
methods of cultivating it, it was still
sufficiently large to insure it profit
able crop, even under the opposing in
fiuences of the past season. The
methods ofraising the varieties planted
and the details OF harvesting are given
at length together with the result of
thechemical analysis. These an alyses,
the report says, In closing show that
some varieties could be profitably
raised for sugar making il worked up
in fresh state or preserved in the
proper kinds OF soil.

An Enterprising Firm.

Nothing affords the REGISTER more
pleasure than to notice the continued
prosperity OF the business firms ofthis
city. Among those which are worthy
OF special mention we number the en-
terprislrg dry goods end grocery deal
ers, c. A. Skinner & Co. This enter
prising firm has made rapid strides in
it's business career until the establish
ment leads all the mercantile houses

dress goods ever displayed in Brook

filled with a fine assortment of the

Glucose syrup

In an eastern town there is aglucose
factory and the refuse IA ON the factory
drains into the river. The water has
become SO full Of poison tnat all the
fish have died. This reminds us of a
half gallon of syrup we purchased a
short time since. The syrup was guar
anteed to be pure, but when it was
taken home we thought it had pecu-
liar taste. Some OF it was allowed to
stand in a glass dish and being ex-
posed to the air 1t became so hard
that it could not be removed from the
glass. Nice stuff Tor people to eat.
We are inclined to think the govern
ment ought to enact a law making it
g. penitentiary offrnse to sell such
truck for family use.

Defending the College.

While in conversation with gentle,
man, who stands hiah IN this state,
the other day he informed us that
people outside Of Broookins knew
very little OF the grand ACHIEVEMENTS of

Most people entertain the idea that
the institution is chiefly employed to
waste the appropriations, and in this
they were greatly mistaken. After

why Not Brookings ?

Sioux Falls is to have q cracker fac
tory that will convert fifty barrels OF
-four into crackers every day. If
Sioux Falls have a cracker factory and
run it successfully (which there is no
doubt) Brookings can have one as
well. Why not give this matter some
attention? Do not allow politics to
absorb all your energy, gentlemen.
There is more money IN cracker fac.
tories, linseed oil mills, wagon and
plow factories, founderies and the like
than there is in all the politics this
side OF the Atlantic coast. At least
when we consider the city's interest.

When the people OF South Dakota
select town for any public meeting
forr times out of five it is Huron.
How many times in the last five years
has Pierre been selected tor such q
purpose? There can be but one rea-
son for selecting Huron and that
reason Is because Huron is the most
accessible town in the state to large
majority OF the people. We havenever
heard this proposition denied. We
have heard it admitted by scores OF
people that Huron ia accessible to
three persons where Pierre is accessi-
bic to one at present. The people
who are supporting Pierre say, that
at present Huron is the most avail
able place Tor the capital in the state.
but t1ey ask how will it be in twenty
years? We believe that Huron will
he as near the center of population in
fifty years as it is now. We believe
that larger per cent of the popula-
tion will be on the east side OF the
river in the future than it is at pres
en5. Every person who has seen the
reservation will admit that greater
part of 1t is more adapted to grazing
than to farming. 1t is we'll known
chat grazing country will not sup
port large population. A good deal
Is being said by many of the editors
who crossed the reservation, about
the amount OF wood and water there
is on it. The facts are, the editorial
party was taken near the Bad river,
never getting but few miles from it,
therefore we we're constantly crossing
some OF its short tributaries. As
rule the editors didn't drink much
water as it was found on the reser-
vation, our Pierre escort were care
full to have it well disguised with
lemons and sugar. There is no doubt
the Pierre people took US over the
best part OF the reservation. There
are but two towns west of the reser.
walton that anyone expects will be
permanent, Rapid City and Hot
Springs. The other towns have moth
ing to support them but mines, and
everyone knows that the mines will
become exhausted sooner or later,
then there will be nothing to support
those Black Hills towns. The in.
stance of Nevada shows about how
permanent mining population is.
All the country east OF the Missouri
river is naturally adapted to mixed
farming. All that is needed is mois-
ture, That need will be supplied by
irrigation. 1t is not likely that the
time will come in the next two
hundred years when nine out OF ten
men In the state cannot get to Huron
easier than to Pierre. Does 1T look
reasonable for the people to piece the
capital in an out OF the way place
with q mere possibility that 1t may
sometime be convenient to the ma
ior,ty if everything turns out albright.
By the way will some one tell US why
any one In Edmunds county should
vote to place the capital at Pierre2--

Horses in Battle.

When it comes to battle, a horse
seems to know everything that is go
ing on; but he does his duty nobIy,
and seems to be in his element. He
enters into the spirit of the battle like
a human being. He shows no fear of
death. and it is singular that if his
mate is shot down he will turn to look
at him and seemed pleased. A horse
in my battery was once struck by a
piece of shell, which split his skull, so
that one side was loose. The driver
turned him loose, but he walked up
by the side of the gun and watched
the firing, and when a shot was fired
would look away in the direction of
the enemy, as if to see the effect of the
shot. When shell would burst near
by he would calmly turn and look at
it. When he saw his own team going
back for ammunition he ran back to
his own place and galloped back to
the caisson with the rest. When the
lieutenant pushed him aside to put in
another horse, he looked at the other
one sorrowfully while he was being
harnessed up, and when he seemed to
realize that there was no further use
for him he lay down and died. The
lieutenant strongly asserted that he
died of broken heart.
At the time that Adams, Jackscn MS
and Preston's brigades charged me at
Murfreesboro some officer was killed
and the brigades were driven back.
But the fallen officers horse had not
been taught to retreat, and he did not
He just came at full speed through the
battery, and tell you he looked some
thing grand. He was large, fine
animal, his nostrils were extended
wide, his eyes fairly blazed, and he
clutched the bitwith his teeth as he
came on. He came like the wind, and
as if he were flying himself instead Of
running. Everybody gave him wide
berth, and i called to the infantry
that I would give 500 to the man
who would catch him, but no one
tried it, and he is running yet for all ]
know.-San Francisco Chronicle.

MEETING OF LOVERS.
A Pretty Little Scene at Castle Garden
with Plenty OF Kisses.

A Pretty Little Scene at Castle Garden
with Plenty OF Kisses.
Picturesque sights are to be seen
daily at Castle Garden. On Monday
being landed from the steamship
Etruria, tall, well built young man
called at the Garden and told the gate
keeper that he wanted to meet
friend. He was directed to the infor-
nation bureau, to which he repaired.
He appeared nervous and would not
sit down. He asked Roundsman Con-
lin when the passengers would be
landed. The roundsman directed him
again to the bureau, where Clerk
Raven noticed his uneasiness and ask
ed him what was the matter.
The young man said he came here
from Ireland three years ago. His
father and mother were dead. He was
poor. He loved a girl in Ireland
named Lille Walsh. She was Is years
old, and he was 20. He wanted to
marry her. but she would not consent.
Her father was dying of consumption,
and she would not leave him. She
promised to wait for him. He placed
a wedding ring on her finger and sail
ed away. Two months ago she wrote
him that her father was dead and that
she would sail on the Etruria.
Like all men, Clerk Raven is human
He went into the rotunda and soon re-
turned with the soon-to-be bride. She
looked about Is years old, tall and
queenly, with rosy checks and cherry
lips. Her eyes were black and spark
led like Goals. Her hair was dark and
concealed from view by neat little
bonnet which sat coquettishly on her
head Her dress was a neat one of
black silk, and set off her form to per-
fiction
The Joy of the two young lovers at
meeting was very touching, and drew
tears to the eyes of Detective Peter
Groden, who is used to such scenes.
Taking her tenderly by the hand the
young man, whom she called Tom,
led her around the path to the rear o:
the police office Here they embraced
half a dozen times and lavished kiss
upon kiss upon one another. They
did not speak. Their eyes alone told
their tale of love and waiting. Plac-
ing her arms around his neck she
gazed with long and lingering fond
ness into his eyes, while he kissed her.
This continued for fully fifteen min
utes, the police officers and reporters
watching the scene and envying the
young mans position until a newsboy
entered the gate He did not recog-
nize the solemnity of the occasion,
and with loud Break away" he
dashed up the garden path and
startled them from their dream of
bliss. Gently releasing their embraces,
but joining hands, they walked slowly
toward the baggage room to check her
baggage and make plans for the flu
ture.-New York Press.
