Clerks Union.

The Clerks Union held an import
ant meeting last evening. In the
press of other matters the REGISTER
failed to mention the organization OF
this union week or more ago, which
numbers about all the clerks In the
city. The officers of the union are
G. E. Kilmer, president; A. B. Han.
sen and j. II. Peterson, vice presidents
Morgan MIkkelson, financial secre-
tary; Anna Severson, corresponding
secretary. We understand that the
union is endeavoring to secure the
closing of business houses at 8 o'clock,
except on Saturdays. 1t ought to lie
done. The REGISTER is of the opin-
ion that nothing is gained by keeping
stores open until near midnight every
night.

Sunny Side Of Life.

1t is rare tribute to DR.. Hedley,
and to the taste and good sense of the
public that the man and his lectures
never growold. Those who heard him
last night for the first time would
gladly avail themselves Of the privil-
ege again tomorrow night. or next
week, or in a year from now. 1t would
be impossible to report worthily such
a lecture as the "Sunny Side of Life, "
What would kindly, benevolent,
gifted man talk about, specially when
he had all the wisdom Of the sages,
and the thoughts Of the saints at his
tongues end? Such lecture by such
a man must be, as it was, one Of the
treats Of life time.-Minneapolis

Brookings Looses One OF It's Business Men

Three weeks ago the REGISTER an.
nounced that John Ziegler had sold
his stock OF goods to Mr.. Gentle and
would retire from business and that
he would take a much needed rest
from the cares and responsibilities
attendant upon an active business life.
Little did we think when we penned
those lines that Mr.. Ziegler would so
soon enter upon that long and peace
ful rest from which there will be no
awakening until the bright summer
morn of the resurrection.
1t is well known that he has been a
sufferer, for several years, from can
cerous growth In his mouth, but he
had borne the pain and suffering with
great fortitude and courage. His
cheerfulness and the fact that he at
tended to business matters down town
during the closing days Of last week
served to delude everybody as to his
real condition. He died early Sunday
morning at the family home and it is
said that the end came 80 peacefully
and quietly that his death was hardly
perceptible to those who sat by his
side.
Mr.. Ziegler came to Brookings from
Marshall, Minn., in March 1892 and
purchase the grocery business Of
Nicholson g. Cornell which he contin-
ued with more or less success until
he sold out to Mr.. Gentle few weeks
ago. As we have said before he was
considered fixture. He had many
commendable traits of character and
was always kind and considerate to
his family.
The funeral was held from the fam
lily residence on Monday afternoon
and was under the auspices Of the
Modern Woodman Of America. The
remains were laid at rest In Green
wood cemetery.
He leaves a wife and several small
children to mourn his loss, but we un-
derstand that they will be well pro-
vided for. Among other assets will
be $1,000 in life insurance, $4,000 Of
which, we believe, is in the North
wetera Mutual of Milwaukee, $4,000
In the Woodmen and $1,000 in the
Workmen.
