WHY
IS
| IT'7

That so many people do not know a
bargain when it is offered to them
They think that if anything is offered
at lesl than regular prices or less than
they have been accustomed to paying
that Is damaged or of poor quality. 1t
must be because the stores they patro-
nize have so educated them to believe
because those stores get higher prices.
They talk it to their customers that
good quality cannot be sold for any
less than they ask. We admit that
good goods are worth more than poor
quality of goods, but because the quail
ity is high it does not follow that good
high qualities OF goods are not sold at
lower prices than usually prevail, and
many lots are offered at as low a price
and some times lower than are asked
for the poorer qualities. This selling
of high qualities of goods for low
prices is the real definition of the word
bargain, at least that is the definition
We put on it, We try to educate the
trade to come to us for that kind of a
bargain, that is why we call it

nnkotn Items of Interest.

A crusade has been inaugurated at
Centerville against disreputable char
acters. Mrs. Rosenburger was arrest
ed and convicted Of the charge of being
an inmate of a disorderly house. AZ
the town Jail was not deemed fit for
her occupancy, the authorities rented
a building formerly used as a MILF
merry store, and confined her in 1t.
Contracts have already been let for
six new brick structures at Brookings,
work to M as soon as the
weather will permit in the spring.
A horrible accident happened to Will
liam Lucas, a miner, in the Homestake
mine near Lead. While he and a Fin
lander were charging a hole with giant
powder on the s0o-foot level a prema-
lure explosion occurred. Lucas was
blown some distance from the hole
and his right hand and wrist were
blown clear off. Both eyes were filled
with broken rock and it is thought he
will lose the sight in each. His breast
was filled with pieces of cloth from
his clothes, the force of the explosion
being great enough to bury the pieces
Of clothing a half inch in the flesh.

THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, Feb. 17.-Governor Lee yes
terday sent i'm n message relative to
the fire at Yankton insane asylum,
which relates the circumstances sur
rounding the holocaust and says the
press reports are substantially cor
rect. The names Of victims are given
and the theory is credited that the
fire originated from some light sub
stance resting upon a steam pipe.
The message says no serious blame
can be attached TO any one for the
terrible results, although il appears
that Miss Ponsin lost her presence OF
mind and failed to open the door to
permit patients on the next floor TO
escape, and a patrol should have been
maintained. He has no disposition to
find fault, but believes the state main
ly to blame for not having erected
fre-proof buildings, which could have
been done at an additional cost of 10
per cent.
The state has lost in twelve years
$16s, 900 worth Of buildings by fire, and
during the past year, at Plankinton
and Yankton, $4,000 worth of proper
ty and t~wenty-four lives. The loss in
money would pay insurance for half a
century, and insurance is recon-
mended. If private insurance is not
thought desirable, a fund of 500, 900
might be set aside as a fund to meet
fire losses.
The governor indorses the resoiu-
ton adopted by the board of charities
recommending that IN lieu of new cot
tages $4,000 be appropriated for n
fire-proof laundry building, $4,000 for

and bent down a singularly handsome face
to the girl, with an involuntary fash OK

He only laughed, and put the cloak over

day of a curious experience she had in
the way Of criticism by q Chinese
laundryman on her performance. He
was so punctual in his weekly calls. and
such a dainty and painstaking laundry
man altogether, that she gave him an
order for two seats in the balcony one
night last week, that he might see some
of his clear starching on the stage, and
accidentally herself. The next night
she saw him grinaing at her from a
front row In company with a COM

asked him curiously how he liked the
performance. He said he liked it very
much.
"What do you think of meP" she de.

started off at a brisk pace for bennington.
wishing that Louis could he with her; but
his fathers place, where he lived, was two
miles the other side Of Wexford, and Va
lerie did not feel inclined to defer her visit
to bennington.
1t Is certain that II any OF the officers
were about in the streets OF the town, this
girl In the white serge, with her glorious
golden hair, her great soft eyes and exquis.
lite face, would create no small sensation
among them. But Valerie, In her limo
cence, only thought of seeing, not Of being
7 seen; and went on with her light, dancing
step, needless of the burning heat that
should have warned her, not noticing the
gathering clouds or the horizon.
The way through the fields and lanes
was pleasant, and Valerie's thoughts went
dancing on before her, so that she was
blind and deaf to external thingsin q man
ner rare with her; for she was familiar with
every bird that flew, and every tree that
grew, and every flower that blossomed.
Presently she began to sing, in her fresh,
sweet young voice:
"will We gang to the hollands, Lizzie Lindsay
Will We gang TO the hielands WI mel
VIII We gang to the hlelands, Lizzie Lindsay.
| NY DTluC IL NY u W Y
Here she stopped and knelt to gather
bunch Of wild hyacinths that grew by the
stile she was about to cross into a lane be-
yond. AS she rose, putting the flowers in
to her dress, she was startled by q low
rumbling sound, that made her cast a hasty
glance westward.
A vast bank OF inky, lurid clouds stretch
ed to right and left as far as the eye could
see, sweeping upward and onward Mt q
rate that must obscure the whole arch o.
heaven In another twenty minutes; and
even as the girl paused, with a frightened
throb of her young heart, the thunder roll
ed out again, louder and longer.
Valerie's position was one Of considers
BILE danger. There was no shelter, she
knew, nearer than bennington on the one
side, and Wexford on the other; and behind
her were fields and lanes, bordered by
hedges intersected with trees; before her
a lane lined by high hedges.
But only O moment did she pause, fol
| bennington was now nearer to her than
| Wexford by nearly half a mile; and a great
part Of the way TO Wexford was through
fields, which heavy rains would speedily
convert into a quagmire; whereas, the re
mainder of the route to bennington wa!
by road.
Valerie almost vaulted over the stile, and
began running along the land beyond; but
as she ran, she felt a big drop come pat or
her hat; then another and another, ant
then there was q roll of thunder, that seem
ed to crash right over her head, like a salvC
of artillery.
1t deafened her to another sound tina
was coming on behind her, the clatter o
horses hoots, and q mans voice shouting
to her; but as the thunder died away. ant
the girl dropped into a walk, breathed b,
her running, she heard the swift hoot
strokes, and In the same instant the voic
shouted to her again.
She stopped and turned, with 9 flash o
