Willets wilfully went wonderfully
wrong with workingmen's woes.
What was Willets wanting? Loucks
could tell but he won't.
The Independents now concede the
election OF the major portion OF the
republican county ticket. The repub-
lican state ticket will have a good
majority.
At the annual election OF Brookings
Lodge No. "a, A. +. e A. M. held Tues
day evening the following officer were
elected for the ensuing year: E. S.
Lorimer, w. NJ; w. H. Roddle, s. W.;
Geo. A. West. J. w.; II. ]. Stearns,
treasurer; VIM. M. Brooke, secretary.
Loucks, Willets and the "Three
Graces" held forth at the court house
Monday afternoon. They talked and
sang themselves hoarse to a handful of
independents and quite 8 number of
republicans but might better have
stayed away. Loucks and his frauds
are not drawing card, and it will
take more than q thousand "graces"
to save his bacon from the wrath OF
farmers who have been swindled by
him and his company of tricksters.
The REGISTER commenced printing
the election tickets for Brookings
county a., 900 in number) last Mon
day morning and at Six O'Clock they
had the entire lot printed and in the
hands OF the county auditor. The
ballots are spoken of as being as neat
in form if not the neatest IN every re.
spect Of any ticket printed for the
state. There is no need OF Brookings
county sending away for neat work
or to have job crushed out" Our
own Offices are capable of doing the
work neatly and with dispatch.
A ride of twelve or fourteen miles
north of this city will convince even
Calamity Weavers" that the farmers
OF Brookings county are not on the
"verge" OF anything. They are in the
midst of and KNOW that they enjoy
prosperity and plenty. Our farmers
are fast becoming so-called monopo.
lists and, should the theory of the in.
dependent party be carried forward,
they will be Obliged to divide their
wealth with some of the common pro-
fessional tramps which the democrats
style as "honest laborers who are
forced out OF employment by that
awful Mckinley law"
Sheriff Hawley went down to
Aurora last Sunday night and arrested
a couple OF "blind piggers" and
brought them to Brookings. Sun

Monday morning Mr.. Hawley went to
get the prisoners to 60 to breakfast,
but found the room deserted. The
sheriff has two pair OF pants that he
has no use for at present. The pant

the hotel when they took their
departure.
Our bustIing business man H. II.
Odegard took q trip to Minneapolis
last week and was interviewed by q
Tribune reporter as follows:
"Brookings, is one OF the best towns
if not the best, in South Dakota, being
the centre OF rich agricultural COM
munity, with any number of well-to-
do farmers located there. These are
not of the wealthy corporation class,
few owning an entire section OF land,
and quarter sections are the rule.
Still, by thrift and energy they have
laid up something for arainy day and
the aggregate of their savings will
exceed 100000 in the banks OF
3rookings."
Miss Sabra Gaylord, assisted by
Misses Foster, Patterson and Cole
grove gave q Halloween party at the
opera house last Monday evening.
About 200 young people were present
and enjoyed themselves until q late
hour. The Second Regiment band
furnished music during the evening to
the delight OF those present. 1t was a
happy company OF good looking and
well behaved young ladies and gentle.
men. Brookings may we'll be proud
OF her young people, as we all are.
The success of the affair reflects great
credit upon Miss Gaylord and those
who assisted her in entertaining and
it was an event which will be remem-
bered for many q day by all present.
