Semi-weekly register. (Brookings, Brookings Co., S.D.) 1894-1898, 1898-11-22

The storm of Monday was the most
severe experienced in this section for
at least two years. There was no
great fall OF snow but the wind, which
blew from the north and west, was
swift and piercing. 1t swept over the
city from morning till midnight and
drove everyone indoors except here
and there a solitary pedestrian who
was forced to make trip to meals or
| upon some necessary errand. This
morning the wind is not so high but
IT is cold and is giving us good,
strong foretaste of winter.
The Centerville Journal tells of a
peculiar accident and miraculous es-
cape of two young people who attemt-
ed to cross the railroad track when a
freight train was passing. They were
in covered carriage and did not see
or hear the train. The horses were
struck and hurled several rods away
and were instantly killed. Strange to
say the buggy was not upset. Even
| the tongue was not injured, and the
accident happened so quickly the
young people did not know what
struck them.
At six o'clock this evening Prof. N.
K. Hansen, of the South Dakota agri-
cultural college, at Brookings, and
Miss Emma Pammel, daughter of
one of the oldest German citizens Of
La Crosse, were married at the resi-
dence of the brides parents. Miss
Pammel is the sister of Prof. Louis
Pammel, of the Iowa agricultural COL,
lege, and 1T was through the pro-
fessional intercourse of these two
young scientists that the acquaint-
ance which led to this wedding began.

interesting. The Review congratu-

1t is reported that Miss Edna M.
| Whited, of DeSmet, will soon be
married to eX-United States Senator
Fred Il. Dubois, of Idaho. 1t will be
remembered that Miss Whited taught
in last summers Brookings county in
Stitute and while here was the guest
of Mrs. butcher. The lady, last
winter, visited Washington as dele
gate to the national convention Of
Mothers Clubs and 1T was while there
a guest of Mrs. r. f. Pettigrew, that
she became acquainted with the SEN
ator, who it seems, has offered his
hand and heart to this talented young
lady of our prairie state. The senator
is an able and brilliant young man of
national reputation and is reputed
quite wealthy and the match would
seem to be quite the proper thing for
| both. The REGISTER trusts that the
report is not without foundation and
tenders it's congratulations over the
coming event.
