FIREWORKS BY DAYLIGHT.
Wonderful Accomplishments In Japanese
PyrOt0chniCs.

Wonderful Accomplishment In Japanese
Pyr0technics.
The most delicate and altogether
wonderful fireworks are the bombs
made by the Japanese, to be exploded
in the daytime. These bombs are some
times spherical in shape and sometimes
cylindrical, and occasionally the two
forms are combined in cylinder with
ball at one end.
Fired from steel mortars, the bombs
explode in mid-air. After tho smoke
has cleared away, q figure Of some sort
goes floating of into the upper air.
Two enormous dragons twist and turn,
Us IL in mortal combat until St George,
in the guise Of their own fiery tongues,
bids them begone, and they vanish in q
puff of smoke. Perhaps the Japanese
goddess Of mirth hilariously waves a
little three-cornered flag with a square
hcle in 1t, and smiles benignly down
until she has sailed away out of sight
The com binations produced in these
day fireworks are almost endless.
Tho figures are bags made of very
thin, air-tight paper. The explosion
of the bomb initiates them with hot air,
;ind the principle comes into operation
which we take advantage Of in "fre
balloons"-which, by the way, are made
in bewildering variety Of shapes and
solors by the Japanese.
Very beautiful and almost unaccount-
able effects are produced at night, also,
bs the Japanese bomb.makers. Per-
haps, after the bomb explodes, q gigan-
tic cluster of grapes hangs suspended
in the sky, the colors changing gradual
ly from dark, rich purple to brilliant
silver or gold, and finally fading away.
one grape at a time. The Japanese, in
olden times, said that when the grapes
were gone they had been plucked by
the gods; and during times of peace ard
plenty - which were, unfortunately,
few - they often offered these fiery
delicacies to the particular god or god
dess to whom they attributed their
good fortune. :. "-.t. LII.
Brilliant s'cloud pictures' are also
made by the Japanese by exploding
bombs. The sky is at first lighted ur
with dull glow. which slowly concen
trates into silvery cloud. This changes
color many times, and finally rolls oper
like scroll and disappears, leaving ir
its place dozens Of tiny floating um
brellas, each with little flame at tn,

Narrow EsCaDe.

1t would be hard to make Harry
Bennett believe in the old adage that
"a miss is as good as a mile" after ex-
periencing what he did last Friday.
Chris. Adams and Harry Bennett
went down to the river to hunt ducks
and on nearing the hunting grounds
Mr.. Bennett loaded his gun to shoot
at muskrat and left the shells in the
gun. They drove up to O hay stack
and the horse would not stop when
they wanted him to so they drove
around again. In turning around the
gun slipped down and went off in such
manner as to tear out q portion OF
the seat cushion then commencing at
the knee OF Mr.. Benefits pants tore
the cloth to the waistband also tore
his vest and sent the charge through
his coat sleeve, powder.burnipg his
left arm quite badly. Mr.. Adams
also had q narrow escape as he was
sitting on the left side OF the buggy
and the charge went in close proximity
to his head. The accident spoiled the
boys sport and they returned home.
Carrying loaded guns in q wagon or
buggy never was and never will be
done with any degree OF safety.

Serious Accident.

Last Saturday, while operating his
we'll drilling machine on p. Caldwell's
farm north OF Brookings, Mr.. Ed.
Cheatham met with most serious
accident which came near killing him.
He was handling the crank that con-
trols the drill and in some way the
ratchet did not work as it should, but
forced the crank back, the latter
striking Mr.. Cheatham squarely In the
forehead, and he fell to the ground
insensible. He was brought to Brook
ings and DR.. Collier dressed the wound
after which he was taken to his home
at Aurora. 1t was a narrow escape
from death blow.

OratOrIcal Contest.

Not being able to attend the ora
torical contest we take the privilege
OF clipping from the Colleeiap. Those
who heard the orations state that
Mr.. Lien. the winner, has the capabIli-
ties TO place him in the front rank
among the best orators. The REGIS.
TER has always taken special interest
in the achievements of this worthy
young man and Is pleased to note
that he has added another laurel to
his list. The Collegian says:
The fifth annual oratorical contest
was held in the college chapel, Oct.
3Oth. The six contestants were MISS
Emma Keeney, John Mcguire, Jas.
McAndrews, S. Davis, Jonas Lien and
Jas. Webster. This was by all odds
the most exciting contest we have
had. Every orator was anticipating
q hot contest, which stimulated him
to greater effort. Though all did un-
commonly well someone had to excel.
Jonas Lien, a sophmore, was the
victor, Jas. McAncrew second, and
John Mcguire third. Much praise Is
due the officers of the association for
SO earnestly and efficiently performing
their duties. Their interest and
ability was plainly shown in the seIec-
tion of such able judges. The three
judges on thought and composition
were, Prof. Hood, Of Huron; Prot.

THE ELECTION.
BROOKINGS COUNTY.

BROOKINGS COUNTY.
A very light vote was polled in this
county. Many OF the voters being so
busy they forgot all about the elec-
tion. Latest reports give Jolley 100
plurality over Smith and Woods.
Frank J. Adams, OF this city is
elected commissioner of the End dis
trict 10y good majority.
The vote of Brookings city is as
follows: Jolley 2O1. Smith 46, Woods
%. The vote on commissioner
stood, Adams 216, Phillipson 80.
Thos. Bishop, OF VoIga, is elected
commissioner Of the 4th district.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Very light vote cast. Latest
authentic reports give Hon. i. l.. Jol-
ley between 1000 and 5000 major.
ity over Smith and Woods. Jolley's
election is assured. There is terrible
falling off of the alliance vote. The
democrats voted straight.
IOWA.
Election close, both republicans
and democrats claim victory. Boies

The rest of the republican ticket con-
sldered safe.
NEBRASKA.
An Omaha dispatch says: "The
returns from the city and state are
still very meagre, but careful estim-
ates give Post (Rep.) for supreme
judge 5000 majority over Edgertcn

can city and county ticket is elected
by maiorities ranging from 200 to

Gov. Campbell comedies the election
of Maj. VIM. Mckinley, Jr. The
latter will no doubt have q plurality
OF 10000. Late returns show steady
republican increase.
KANSAS.
Slow returns, but reports indicate
that the peoples party has lost it's

NEW YORK.
No decisive returns received. Flower

majority of the legislature.
CHICAGO.
The city election was republican

Pretty Floral Designs IN Antique En-
broidery.
While many sofa pillows are still
covered with lowered China silk, ont
lined in gold or silver if a more elabo-
rate effect is desired, the pillow of tho
latest style is the flower pillow. 4
pretty one. seen on a Turkish couch,
represented a great purple pansy. Tho
pillow itself was made in the shape
of the flower. The petals of purple
satin were scwed on to the pillow: the
shading was done in embroidery silk.
Large yellow buttercups and any flower
that is simple in its structure may be
used in this way. One almost feels as
ii in n flower garden when four or five
of these pillows are clustered in a room.
The black satin pillow in the shape
of 4 huge heart with golden ar
rows and tiny gold hearts out
lined with gold thread upon it
fits nicely into some corners. An ex-
change says that n pretty and practical
pillow cover is made of fine twillcd
linen. The fabric is first covered with
a waved pattern worked in back stitch,
preferably in yellow silk. A bold pat
tern is then embroidered over this in
conventional style. when the despised
linen material will be found good
enough for any pillow in any room. The
stitched background has all the effect of
fine quilting, and it is a pity that work
is not more frequently done in this style.
Some of the most beautiful of antique
cmbroideries for the fronts of dresses,
wais:coats, etc, We're worked thus mp
on a quilted material, and it is wonder
full how very fiat a plain background
looks after studying N of these quilt
ed pieces. Running, chain, or even out
line stitch may be used, if preferred to
the back stitch.-N. Y. World.

Too Much Talk.

An old proverb says: AN empty
cart makes the most noise" The
voluble talker generally gives utterance
to less ideas than the man of few
words. 4 one noted politician, dis
tinguished more for his stately bearing
and finished %elocution than his depth
of thought, nee delivered an elaborate
discourse, in such elegance of style and
impressiveness of voice as to fascinate
those who failed to look below the
surface. One of these enthusiasts told
a friend that - had delivered "a
splendid and truly eloquent speech"
What did he say?7 queried the more
practical one, and his informant could
not repeat a single new idea that the
orator had uttered: he was compelled
to admit that his oracle had talked for
