Meeting for Combination Purposes in
Chicago.


dispatch from Chicago says: The Inter
Ocean says: At meeting of representative
of the principal broom manufacturing COM
panies of the United States, held there, ac-
ton has been taken which practically in
sures the formation OF a combination of
the. princiOl companies under the name
of the National Broom Company. The new
company will be formed on strict basis
of actual valuation.
At the meeting it was decided to include
only about seventeen or eighteen of the
largest broom companies of the country
and to put the capital stock at or about
$4,O00,0O0.
One OF the advantages of the merger is
said to be uniformity In the manufacture
of brooms, for, instead Of there being ten
varieties to each Individual factory, there
would be ten standard kinds for the en-
tire country. BroOms win also be shipped
from the nearest factory and all settle
ments Will be made through central office.

NEARLY DISASTROUS FIRE.
Bull Dog Ought to Be Put on the
Police Force.

Saturday morning Brookings mar
rowly escaped a disastrous fire on Main
street. Mrs. Kaley's little son heard
Ed. c. Olson's bull dog barking back
of the Collier building and as the dog
and boy were good friends the boy
went down stairs to see what the dog
was making so much noise about.
Master kaley found barrel of rubbish
at the rear end of the Gagei building,
occupied by Miss Berkheimer's milli-
merry, to be in flames and gave an
alarm which was quickly responded
to by the department. Fortunately the
flames had not ignited the building to
any extent and were subdued by a few
pals of water. Had the discovery not
been made by the dog, or had the little
boys attention not been attracted by
the barking no doubt the whole block
would have been reduced to ashes as a
strong wind was blowing at the time.
Mr.. Olson has taught his dog to
bark at a fire and the animal will not
allow a match to be lighted in its pres
ence without demonstrating against
the act. The property owners might
show their appreciation at least by
presenting the dog with new collar
and boy with new suit of clothes

PIpESTONE VS. BRoOKINGS
Football Game Friday Very Much
One Sided

The Pipestone football team was
badly defeated on the home ground
at athletic park last Friday afternoon
by the first team of the S. ID. A. C..
The visitors played fast, nervy game
nevertheless.
The S. ID. A. c. hit the Pipestone
line repeatedly for touchdowns, while
every time the visitors held the ball
Pipestone made practically no gains
by line smashes and very few by end
runs. The Brookings team showed
up to a good advantage in series of
new formations. At the end of the
first half of twenty minutes, the score
stood % to in favor of Brookings, the
first touch down being made inside of
four minutes after the kick off.
In the second half Pipestone took
a brace and let Brookings have but
one touch down and one drop kick
from the field, giving Brookings nine
points more and pushing the score up
to 3S points, with for Pipestone.
The Pipestone team came to Brook
ings with clean record but they were
no match for the team they ran up
against. However, it was good clean
game from start to finish and the Wis.,
itors were fine lot of fellows.

A PRACTICAL SERMON
Delivered by Rev. Meinzer Pastor
M. E. Church at Clark

The Pilot-Review of last week SAYS:
At the Methodist church last Sunday
morning Rev. Meinzer spoke on the
words OF scripture to which an office
seeker called Judge Parker's attention
in letter he wrote to him the day
before election. The words are found
in st. Luke 23-42, Remember me
when Thou contest into Thy kingdom"
After speaking of the selfish motives
OF men in their endeavors and in the
selection of their acquaintainces and
professed friends, Mr.. Meinzer spoke
the following words which we extract
from the sermon:
My hearer, have you any friends that
are friends for friendships sake, for
loves sake? Are you sure that you
have some such friends this morning?
All, happy are you if you have even one
such friend in all the great wide world!
Prize that friend more highly, more
sacredly, cherish and guard that friend
ship more carefully than all your
silver and gold, your houses and lands.
Yet when all is said about the sell
fishness of human nature the grand
fact remains that merit still has a
chance to win in this glorious land of
ours, yea, that merit still wins far more
often than selfish trickery, that al
though evil may often seem to win it is
only temporary. In the end merit still
wears the crown. That there is in our
country an enormous amount of polit-
ical and business graft, dishonesty and
chicanery, is certain, but SO long as we
have such strong, brave, honest, young
leaders as Roosevelt, Folk, Jerome,
LaFollette, Deneen and others, our
country will not go to the devil.
am anything but blind partisan,
although parties are absolutely neces-
sary under our form of government.
Yet, to always follow a party, whether
it agrees with my judgement and con-
science or not, | have never done, and
God helping me, | never shall. And
thank God, this is the sentiment of

the great American people. We are
still free people, still unfettered by
any chains; the greatest, most intelli.
gent, most independent, most con-
scientious people on Gods green earth.
The heart of the American people is
still true, and its instinct correct.
Nopolitical event has occurred in my
lifetime which has given me such con-
fidence in the character of the Ameri-
can people as the recent election.
We differ in regard to our opinions
of public policies or political and in
dustrial organization. We differ some
what in our opinions regarding the
tariff; we differ in our opinions regard
ing the nations attitude toward our
foreign possessions. Some of you are
socialists. You believe in the owner
ship by the government of the railroads,
the mines, the lands. With you /
have no qarrel, my friends. You have
right to your opinions. One of the
greatest reasons for rejoicing is that
American citizens have opinions Of
their own and that they are not afraid
to express them. Time, with its evolu-
tions, will reveal to us what is wisest
and best.
But whatever may be our opinions
on political questions, we all know,
deep down in our hearts, that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is an honest, frank and
fearless man, one of the most remark
ably honest and Independent men
this nation has ever Produced. We
know that there is about him no trick
cry, deceit or double dealing whatever.
The common arts of the politician
are unknown to him. II Roose-
welt had been defeated it would
indeed have been a most dishearten-
ing disappointment to all the young
men of the land who have high ideals
and noble aspirations, and who hope
and believe that it is possible for an
honest man to succeed in politics. 1t
is to all such a great encouragement,
and proves that an honest and inde-
pendent man may still obtain the
highest Office in the gift of the people.
The same truth is proven by the
election of that splendid knight-errant

AN EDITORS HOT SHOT
Merchant Found Out All He Wanted
to Know and More

'Why don't you run a paper like
that?" said merchant to publisher,
throwing down a blanket sheet daily.
Why don't you run a store like that?'
said the publisher of the country
sheet as he turned the sheet over and
pointed to full page advertisement
that brought the city publisher $3.50
an issue. Just then the country pub
Usher presented a monthly bill of $5
and the merchant began talking of
cutting down his advertising bill and
stopping his paper. He did both and
the sheriff is doing his advertising for
him. .-Ex.

LOOK AFTER YOUR BOY.
Where is He Between the Hours Of
Six and Ten O'clock.

For some time different merchants
of this city have complained that they
were missing various articles from
within and in front of their stores. Es-
specially is this true among the fruit
dealers. Last week Chas. Carlisle, who
has been constantly losing goods,
caught small boy in the act Of steal
ing grapes and took him to Jail with
the intention of placing the offender in
the hands of the sheriff. The father
of the boy was sent for, however, and
he took his son home.
Mr.. Carlisle informs the REGISTER
that he intends going to the limit il he
catches anyone stealing from him
again and is assured of the assistance
of Sheriff Campbell, No one can
blame him il their boy is placed in
custody as merchants cannot afford to
have their goods stolen.
There is a way to prevent these oc-
currences. Parents should see that
their sons do not run the streets. Their
place is at home after school. The
street is no place for any boy at any
hour of the day or night. The city
police should see that the curfew ordi-
nance is more rigidly enforced, as we
understand boys frequently are seen
about the streets and stores after nine
O'Clock. II your boy is caught in the
act of stealing and is arrested don't
blame anyone but yourself for neglect
ing to look after him.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECK i,
Mail Clerk Wheaton and Fireman
Olson Injured

The Brookings- Redfield passenger
train due here at II O'Clock ran against
a cow Tuesday night mile east OF
Kampeska, ditching the engine and
mail and baggage cars. Engineer
Chris Maths escaped injury, but his
fireman, Pete Olson, was not so fOrtu-
nate. Walter Wheaton, mail clerk,
was also injured. The coaches did
not leave the track.
The engineer saw the cow on the
track and was running slow, suppos-
ing the animal wauld get out of the
way. She won't get on the track again.
Yes, she's dead.

badly hurt. A special was made up

OF political honesty, Joseph Folk, by
a majority of $1,000, while Roosevelt
carried the same state by 10000; by
the election of Johnson over Dunn in
state that gave Roosevelt majority
$4,000. and by the triumphant re-
election of Governor La Toilette of
Wisconsin. Thank God the American
! people are still independent This is
still "the land of the free and the
home of the brave"
And after all, success is not a mere
accident nor the result of shady schemes
1t is still the result of merit.
The closing words of the sermon
were as follows:
We are not true workmen in any
cause, we are not true men and women,
we are not truly happy in our work,
we have not attained to the true spirit
and ideal of our task until we forget
self, until we get out of self and think
only of our work and the good that we
can do. So long as we think only of
the rewards of the selfish benefits, we
are little, narrow, selfish men. There
are no true elements OF greatness in us.
All the great men of the world, those
who have accomplished the great
things, have been men who forgot
themselves and thought only of their
cause. Self consciousness will spoil
the effectiveness of any task and the
beauty of any character.
"The Son of Man came not to be
ministered unto but to minister.
Oh, may His spirit be our spirit. Let
us not say, Lord, remember me when
Thou contest into Thy KINGDOM" but
rather with Saul of Tarsus let us cry
out, Lord, what wilt Thou have me
to do" And then, with eager, earnest,
self-forgetful hearts let us go forth to
do the work which he has for us in
the world. May God help us all to
live such lives as this.
