has assurances to the effect that he
can be cured without an operation.
John Sloan, one of the most pro-
gressive and prosperous farmers Of
Sterling township, called on the REG
IsTER yesterday to advance his sub
scription to 1900. The REGISTER
proudly points to the fact that 1t has
the finest list Of subscribers in this
section OF the state. They are chiefly
"cash in advance" people, which ac-
counts for their prosperous condition.
They buy and sell for cash.
There is some prospect of getting
John G. Wooley the great prohibition
orator, for one or more addresses in
Brookings in the near future. Mr.
WOoley is the John b. Cough Of this
generation and many competent judges
who have heard both men speak, say
that John G. Wooley has greater
moving power as an orator than
Cough had. Should we be fortunate
treat for Brookings people.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Johnson, Of
Watertown, changed cars at this point
on Saturday evening on their way
home from Chicago. Mr.. Johnson has
recently been appointed general agent
of the traffic department of the
North Western for South Dakota
The REGISTER congratulates him on
his good fortune and trusts he may
rise to the dignity of president Of the
company or something equally as
good. Aleck is all right if he would
only quit monkeying with politics.
1t is reported that the death of our
venerable townsman, Y. w. Norton,
came very sudden and unexpected.
He left his daughters residence to go
down to the city and while standing
at the corner waiting for street car
he took out his pipe and tobacco
thinking to have a smoke. While in
the act of filling his pipe he was
stricken with heart failure and died
Instantly. Through some unavoida-
BILE delay the remains did not arrive
here on Saturday and the funeral was
necessarily postponed.
The teachers meeting held at the
public school building in this city Sat-
urday proved to be deeply interesting
to those who attended and surely the
teachers cannot help being benefited
by such gatherings. Instructors no
doubt realize that in performing so
much routine work they are liable to
get into ruts which an interchange Of
ideas along their particular line of
work would extricate them and ad-
vance their effectiveness and en-
courage them. The writer was par
ticularly interested in the remarks by
Rev. f. /. Davies on "The Dcestrict
School Of the Twentieth Century"
and in the discussion led by Miss
Ainsworth on the subject of "How to
Simplify the Study of Grammar" The
entire program, however, was well ar
ranged.
