Beef defeats Speed" says the
Huronite in giving on account Of the
football game in this city between
Brookings and Huron. That's where
the Huronite is mistaken-it was all
beef.
An exchange says that a new
and clever swindle is being operated
by a man that is going about the
country representing himself as a re-
pairer o. sewing machines. He asks
to examine the machine, aud in do.
ing so takes out good pieces and in
serts broken parts and calls the
lady's attention to it; then he shyly
replaces the good piece be has re-
moved and charges exhorbitant
prices for his work.

pearance of enjoying a goodly
amount of prosperity and De Smet
friends are glad to know that the

Railroad men again complain of
the actions of De Smet boys around
the depot yards. One night not long
ago a freight train stopped for coal
and water and while the train men
were busy with their regular duties
the boys cut the train into several
sections. We are told that a brake
man followed one lad we to Caiu-
met avenue and struck the boy on
the head with his heavy lantern,
knocking him to the ground. It
| will be remembered that a number
of boys in this city did the same
thing about two years ago until it
became such a nuisance that the
company looked into the matter and
only the influence of some of our
prominent men and an agreement
that the boys be kept entirely away
from the yards saved the lads a
term in Jail. Such work on the part
of the boys not only interferes with
the company's business, but it might
very easily cost the life of a train
man. A word to the wise would be
sufficient, but we do not expect that
anything short of severe punishment
will be sufficient to warn boys who
display such and disregard
for possible serious consequences.
1T pays to advertise. That prop
osition is being demonstrated con
tinually. 1t may be that an adver-
tisement to-day will not bring in one
hundred fold before tomorrow
night but it pays just the same. Adj
vertising not only calls the atten-
ton of the individual who is at the
time in need of your wares, but it
creates a desire among those who
do not feel any immediate necessity
for the article advertissd-this is
illustrated by the great sale of
breakfast foods, which never did
and never will take the place of
bacon aud eggs. Again, the reader
will see an advertisement today and
not need the wares; tomorrow or
six months hence he will have need
of the article and be turns first to
the party who advertised. We had
a good illustration Of the fact last
week when Peter Thompson, of
Erwin vicinity, came into the INDIE
PENDENT office and inquired where
| Peter O'Hara lived. Thompson
wanted to buy some Macaroni seed
wheat and spoke about having read
O'Hara's advertisement last spring
and thought perhaps tho latter would
again have seed of that kind for sale.
