COULDN'T COMET.
The Wabbling Wanderer Fails to Nee.
Its Engagement

The Wabbling Wanderer Fails to Meet
Its Engagement.
Last week Tom Bishop warned the
Tribune readers that they had better
prepare tor the terrible late which
awaited them. Biela's comet was to
either punch hole in this mundane
sphere, come whizzing by with such
force as to suck the air from within
the earth and cause total collapse of
the whole business, or cause the at
mosphere to be 80 compressed that
the earth would be crushed and the
oceans and seas would overflow their
banks. Knowing Toms capacity for
truth and varaclty Chats poetry
we procured a pair OF high water
boots, filled a bag full of compressed
air and crawled under the press to
await developments. The business
didn't develope, however, and now
we propose to hold Tom, along with
the rest OF the noted astronomers,
responsible For the trouble we have
been to, also for the terrible strain
imposed upon our nerves.
This business must stop right here.
Since the result OF the late election we
nave been in proper frame of mind to
believe that almost anything might
be expected to happen and to get dis.
appointed in any such q manner as
experienced by this comet business is
nearly as bad as to have been knocked
into the middle OF next summer bv
the pesky thing.
All Sunday evening we watched for
the coming OF the ring-tailed roarer.
Of course we did not want to alarm
the family, so every time we went
OUT doors it was with an excuse to
get some wBter, fuel, etc. Once we
started down stairs with a coal scut-
tie In one hand and pan OF ashes In
the other. The stairs were covered
with ice and away went our pedal ex-
tremitles. The bottom of the stairs few

cautiously stuck her head out OF the
door and wanted to know il the
comet had struck. Our answer TO
the question was that it had. That
"quick transit" ended our observa-
tlons and We retired, making an iron
clad VOW to get even with Tom
Bishop and all the rest of the star
gazers at the first opportunity.

No More Ten-Dollar Immigrants.

The nation has been forced to cut
off Mongolian immigration to save it's
own laborers from starving wages and
destitution. It has been compelled
to prohibit imported contract labor
to protect it's own skilled wage earn
ers against ruinous competition. The
time has now come to draw the line
between hundred dollar immigrants
and ten-dollar immigrants, to shut
out that horde whe are assisted" out
OF their own country because they
are not wanted and rush here packed
in immigrant vessels at cattle rates.

worthy. As near as we can learn, the
west-bound train left De Smet and
had twenty minutes to reach Man
chester (ample time) but a heavy
head wind was blowing and the track
was very slippery from sleet and snow
which was falling at the time. This
delayed the train and as 1t did not

ther engineer saw that the track was
occupied until they were very nearly
together. While the blame may rest
on one OF the conductors, the rail-
road company should have had an
operator at Manchester. A CORE.
spondent at Iroquois says: TOO
much credit cannot be given Loomis
and Markham, the conductor, for
their heroic efforts for the comfort OF
the passengers and their devotion to
the interest OF the company in having
walked to this town, O. distance of
seven miles, in the face OF q bowling

the accident. They arrived here in a
exhausted condition, but restoratives
were applied and they were soon able

Certainly the company is not much
ahead financially from having saved
the expenses of this operator for a
few years."
We are informed that Conductor
Hinman walked back to De Smet and
was also nearly exhausted when he
reached that place.

Another Citizen Gone.

VIM. G. Copeland was taken i'll with
typhoid fever some weeks ago and for
some time lay between life and death.
The latter part OF last week he was
reported better, but he almost i'm.
mediately grew worse and expired
Friday, Nov. 26, 1892. He was born
in Canada May 4, 1852. and was
married in 1882, and came directly
to Brookings, where he had been EN-.
ployed at the Agricultural college up
to the time of his illness. He leaves
q widow and one daughter aged eight
years. The sorrowing wife aud
daughter accompanied the remains to
Canada last Monday morning. Mr..
Copeland had q farm in that country
and his widow will take up perman.
ent residence thereon. The deceased
was noble man and his large circle
OF friends here deeply mourn his loss.

The Wedding.

A telegram from Huron speaks OF
the wedding of DR.. Fourt AMI Miss
Fanny l.. Shannon, as follows:
DR.. Frank Fourt. of Brookings, and
Miss Fannie L. Shannon, OF. this city,
were united in marriage at the home
of the brides parents, Editor J. w.
Shannon and wife, last evening, Rev.
w. J. Vaux officiating. Only reIa-
tives and immediate friends were
present.: including number from
abroad. The ceremony was very
pretty and quite impressive. The
happy couple were the recipients of
numerous presents, both useful and
expensive. The bride was attired In
Iightblue satin. Miss Lilley, of Brook
ings, was bridesmaid, and J. G. Jsnk-
ins, of Brookings, was groomsman.
Brookings college sent an abundant
supply of flower for decorations, the
bride having been for years student
and member of the faculty of that in
stitution. They will make their home
in Brookings.

The Brookings Postof flee.

There are already in sight several
democratic candidates for the Brook
ings city postoffice, among whom are
Geo. B. Haber, J. Downing and J. V.
Walker. The plum will no doubt be
given to either Haber or Downing, as
Walker announced his withdrawal
from the party few weeks before
election, and Downing has never been
q Cleveland man, always favoring
Hill.
The above article appeared in the
Sioux Falls Argus Leader of the Goth.
The REGISTER Of course has no way
OF ascertaining just how soon the
postoffice may change hands, but
we know one statement is untrue and
that is regarding the withdrawal
OF Mr.. Walker from the democratic
party. J. v. Walker has been q resi-
dent of Brookings for fourteen years
and has always been q full.fedged,
out and out democrat, and has
been an enthusiastic worker for the
party. 1t is a mistake that he in any
manner withdrew from the party
during the late campaign. The other
aspirants for the Office are good men
and any one Of the three would no
doubt fill the position acceptably,
but Mr.. Skinner has about two years
yet to complete his term and should
he be allowed to retain the position
the remaider OF the term the boys
will have chance TO cool off before
entering the final contest.
