The crop was planted May Is and

given only ordinary attention and
early in the season had but little

to satisfy them that there is money

BROOKINGS BUSINESS.

Bound to be Low.
II the merchants OF Brookings have
ever before packed their stores with
as large stocks of first-class goods as
they have this fall 1t is not within the
remembrance of this writer. Every
nook and corner is filled and an ex-
animation OF prices will convince any
body, who knows the worth OF good
goods, that the merchants are bound
to sell though they do not make fab
ulous profits. The competition Is
strong in all branches of trade and
this will attract the attention OF pur-
chasers far and near. The farmer who
markets his grain at Brookings and
brings his good wife along to inspect
goods will be well repaid. Already
people from long distances are coming
to this city to do their fall trading,
and why? Because they fully realize
that they can at least do as we'll and
have larger assortments from which
to select what they need in the line Of
winter supplies. Do not take our
word for 1t entirely, but visit the city
aud see for yourself.

Our Railway Service.

The new change in time on the
Northwestern BY has caused coEsid-
erable commotion among the travel
ing public this week, but soon all will
run smoothly enough again. The
west-bound passenger, east-bound
accommodation and the Sioux Valley
branch trains arrive at the same time
in the morning. In the evening the
east-bound and Sioux Valley branch
trains take supper at Brookings. The
only thing needed at present to make
the service complete is the "Brookings
Sleeper which would be of great con-
venlence to the passengers if attached
to the train at this place. Perhaps it
might be well to portray the advan-
tages of the change to this city and
to the other towns in the county.
The express arrives two hour earlier
thus giving the fruit and oyster deal
ers a chance to deliver their goods
early in the morning. 1t brings the
mail two hours earlier and gives busi-
ness men chance to at tend to their
corresponding before the rush OF
trade during the day. 1t brings the
morning papers and market reports
two hours earlier in the morning.
! People going east can now take sup
per at home and when the sleeper is
attached here they can step into COM
! forta bic apartments and secure q
good nights rest, The change Is an
advantage to our hotel men and when
assured OF it's permanency they will
no doubt enlarge their hotels to meet
the requirements of their patrons.
Brookings may well tender thanks
to the Northwestern Railway for the
excellent train service it has given us
and the REGISTER believes that in the
way OF an advertisement We will real.
ise a great deal. Brookings is bound
togrow and thrive and to the North
western Railway we owe some of our
greatest advantages. Let us do our
part toward making this the largest
and best city in the state.

Address to Democrats, ,

Democrats of Brookings county,
stand by your party and platform
do not be deceived by either the per
cent candidate of the Independent or
the 20 per cent candidate OF the Re-
publican parties. The grand old dem.
ocratic party who guarantee honest
money and equal rights to all. The
special friend OF the iaboring classes.
Do not be carried away by the sophis-
tries of the Mckinley special protec-
tlon OF the few at the expense OF the
many. The 6. o. p. special protection
for syndicates, trusts and corpora.
tions. Will some reliable republican
inform ns where one of the highly pro-
tected infant industries of this coun-
try has ever voluntarily raised the
wages OF the laboripg classes on
account OF the Mckinley humbug as
promised.
Democrats OF South Dakota you
have presented to you the standard
bearer of democracy, j. M. Woods, OF
Rapid City. A man, q democrat,
withour spot or blemish, a rustler
and q self-made man who has no
apologies to offer for himself or his
party.
Stand squarely or q democratic
platform, honest money, honest bal
lots and an honest count. Many
voters are weary OF machine politics
OF the other parties, delusions of sub
treasures and per cent fat money.
The idea of getting something for
nothing. H..
Democrats we beseech you to go to
the polls on the Sd of November and
vote for an honest man and true
democrat, j. NJ. Woods. Look well

takes. -

Indicted the Louisiana Lottery.

SIOUX FALLS, Oct. 23-The United
States grand jury returned eighteen
indictments against the officers and
directors OF the Louisiana lottery.
The evidence was all laid before the
jury in the form OF atfidavits and Rept
in utmost secrecy. The department
at Washington brought the charges
before this court for the reason that
their efforts in other states before the
United States grand juries had been
frustrated. The United States mar
shall and deputies leave this evening
for New Orleans to arrest the presid-
ent, vice president, secretary, treas
urer and directors OF the lottery COM
pany. The indictments are for trans
mitting lottery advertisements
through the mails in violation OF the
auti-lottery law passed by the last
congress. The extreme penalty is five
years Imprisonment and $5. 900 fine.

The citizens OF Independence, Iowa,
are angry because the sheriff stopped
gambling and liquor selling on their
race grounds. The owner OF the
grounds says be will plow up the track
and raise corn il the sheriff does not
keep his hands of. The merchants
OF the city are indignant also, IA
about one half the buildings were
vacant before the race course was
established there, while this year they
have had a booming trade and no
houses to spare. Thus IN enforcing
the law the sheriff is between two
fires.

IHE BLACK SEA.
The Exploration of This Sea by the Rus
sian Government a Success

The expedition which the Russian gov.
ernment lifted on, early in the summer To
explore the Black sea was very successful
in its iabors. Ii has achieved results
which may be of the greatest importance
to the nautical and geological science.
The whole expedition was divided into
three distinct depart ments, the meteorog-
ic and physical, the chemical and the
biological. The first was to make obser.
vations on the changes in the air, In so
far as they affected the surface of the
Black sea, in relation to the quality Of the
waters in various parts. The chemical
department was to examine the constitu-
ent elements of the waters, and the bio
logical department was to investigate the
nature of the living beings in the various
parts of the sea. All such observations
have been made at the meteorological
stations on the dry land. The object of
the expedition was to make them on board
of the vessel at the spot which appeared
the most interesting TO the scientists, so
that time and distance should As little us
possible affect the objects of examination.
The full report of the work of the expedi-
tion was submitted to the Imperial Geo.
graphical Society Of st Petersburg, and
will be published soon after it is read and
approved by the society.
From the preliminary reports of the
heads of the expedition it appears that of
great importance to geology will be the
discovery made as to the constituent ele-
ments of the water of the Black sea. 1t
was found that from the depth of 100
sazhens (about 135 fathoms) to the bottom
of the sea the waters in all parts are
strongly saturated with hydro .sulphuric
acid, and that consequently no animal life
can exist at that depth. This discovery
disproves the hitherto accepted hypothesis
that the Black sea was originally a sweet
water lake and that it became salt watered
and inpregnated with hydro-sulphuri
acid since the Bosphorus began flowing
into it. The waters of the Bosphorus,
according to the Investigations of the ex-
petition, could not affect the sea to such
an enormous extent.
The Black sea is deeper in the eastern
than in the western part. The deepest
places are between the coasts of Asia
Minor and the Crimea. In one place the
explorers have found IA depth of ,240
sazhens. Samples Of the water at various
depths and of different localities, as well
as samples of the soil at the bottom of the
sea, and archaeological specimens were
brought to st. Petersburg and submitted
to the society. IN. Y. Sun.
