Strenuous efforts are being made to
repair the roads leading into Brook
ings but owing to the late rains and
the scarcity of men and teams the
committee has been hampered in its
work. If anyone has good team and
man that is willing to work on the
road they will please notify Ed. C..
Olson or any other business man. BY
so doing they will confer favor upon
the good roads committee.
There is a decided revulsion OF feel
ing recently against the large central
creameries, and in favor of the local
establishments. In many instances
the farmers have lost by the failure of
the big plants, and the prices paid by
them do not equal those secured from
the locals. For instance, in August
the DeSmet creamery paid ~ cents for
butter fat, while the big ones paid only
l9t cents.
Some of the citizens who have been
voting in the First ward ever since
the city was divided into seperate pre-
cincts find that they should have
voted in the Fourth ward precinct
The mistake was easily made and
does not effect many voters. The jog
comes at the corner of Fifth street and
18th avenue. All property on the east
side of 18th avenue and north Of Fifth
street and east OF 18th avenue on the
south side Of Sixth street is in the
Fourth ward.
Miss Ethel Weaver returned to the
city the latter part of last week, after

which time Miss Weaver and her
mother visited different points in Neb-
raska, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan.
Mrs. Weaver will arrive home this
week, and will then move her house
hold goods to Huron, where they will
make their home. The house they
have been living in, known as Terrence
cottage, at the corner Of 7th street was
sold to Frank Duff, who will take
possession Immediately.
The Eastern Star ladies of this city
invited the members OF the Arlington

Friday and entertained them to an
informal luncheon at noon. In the
afternoon the ladies took their guests
for drive and before the train left

NET AWFUL DEATH
Aged Father Of F. M. Kueney
Meets Awful Death at His
Home Near MapIeton, la.
TRAMpLED ON BY CATTLE

News has been received in this city
of the death of K. Kueny, the father
of r. M. Kueny, who is the foreman
of the lacquer room at the Simmons
Manufacturing company's plant.
Kueny lost his life by being tramped
to death by cattle at his home
near Mapleton, Iowa.
The remains Of the aged man were
found in corn field near his farm
home by party of fifty men who had
been searching for Kueny for more
than twenty hours.
It was thought that he had wander
ed away from home, and as he was a
great favorite in the neighborhood the
farmers had organized a searching
party to locate him. The party had
searched about the county and finally
began to search the corn fields near
the house. Kueny had left his home
in search of a lost COW and had gone
directly to the field where he met his
death. All about the body was poo
of blood and the men who found the
body believe that Kueny was either
tramped to death by his herd of cattle
or gored to death by bull. The body
was badly mutilated, but it was i'm
possible to tell by the wounds ths
exact cause of death.
Kueny was a wealthy farmer an6
had lived near Map1eton Tor many
years. He was rs years Of age, bu
vigorous and had insisted on person
ally looking after the work about his
farm. The dead man is survived bJ
widow, one daughter Mrs. H

THE county health officers should
prepare for the prompt and rigid in.
spection of the gangs Of men brought
in by the ice companies to harvest
their crop. The season is so late al
ready, that when the cutting finally
does begin, it will be pushed with all
possible speed, and the big gangs of
men will be rushed to the work as
fast as the employment bureaus of
the big cities can get them. The
companies are never any too particu-
lar as to where their men come from,
what condition they are in, but this
year they are apt to be even less care
llil than ordinarily, and it will not do
to neglect any precautions to prevent
contagious diseases being brought
into the county. An epidemic among
these men might prove to be very
expensive thing for the taxpayers.

ROB TWO MARKETS
Burglars EnterEBoth of the Harry
F. ParkerSMarkets on Sunday
Night and Take the Cash
GET $2O.F0R THEIR TROUBLE

Report has been made to the police
that the two ameat markets of the
Harry +. Parker company were
entered bysburglars onsSunday night
or Monday morning, and more than $40
in money'wasIse cured.by.the burglars.
There is considerable mystery con-
nected withEthescrime as one of the
markets is SITUATED on Main street
while the 1other' is gonsaWest Main
street and the rnenIwho committed the
crime must shave known that money
had been,1eft in.thescash register at
both places.
Parker closed sup Ibis markets at
noon on Sunday sand left the usual
amount of small:change in the drawers
of the cashsboxes. OnsMonday morn
ing it was discovered that both of the
places had been entered and robbed.
At the Main street market the burglar
made hissway into the!shop by forcing
one of the rearsdoorsaand once inside
he had little trouble in opening the
cash notwithstanding SO that had
been 1eft.there.onsSu Sunday. He seems
to havesstaken snothing but the small
change in .theEEcash tdrawer, as the
meats that had been left about the
counters had not.beenEdisturbed.
At the West side market it is sup
posed that acknowledgement an entrance
10 the 'buildingIby climbing over the
transom above the front door of the
building. This transom is several
feet from the ground, but as the doors
were ali securely locked it is thought
that thisswonld be the only way that
he cou1dshave entered the shop. At
the Westssside market the man Sc
cured $12. The police are now at
work onithe case, land Mr.. Parker is
certain that the crime was not COM
mitted by any one connected with
the markets. For some time small
sums of money have been taken from
the cashregisters at.the markets and
a close watch has been kept. On this
account 1t seemssthat 3the burglary of
Sunday must have been the work of
outsiders.

THERE is material for a dozen SER
mons on the beauties and desirability
of the simple life in the recent ex-
posure Of wholesale thefts committed
by a number of the young women
clerks of the city. We have the word
Of the preacher for it that "al is
vanity" but there must be something
wrong in state of society, wherein a
number of young women, presumably
all brought up to distinguish clearly
between right and wrong, are so pos
sessed with the desire to outshine
their companions that they de1iber-
ately descend to theft in order to do
it. There can be no other explana-
ton or excuse for their conduct.
Mind you, there was no sudden yield
ing to overwhelming temptation, in a
single case. "A number of the clerks
were equally guilty and the thefts
were deliberately planned and sys-
tematica11y carried out, and yet it
does not appear that there was any
other motive than desire to outshine
their companions. The whole miser-
able business is bad enough, any way
you look at it, but it makes it seem
worse to think that all this sorrow
and disgrace is the result of simple
vanity

ONE LONG LAUGH
The Flints Start ATheir Engagement
Thursday Night

We have had :many funny shows,
many farce comedies, butssnothing in
the line of wholesome and hearty
laughter; laughter without alloy or
without sting, equal to that which
we shall seesin the city Thursday
evening when the Flints come. Their
work is delicate, and they simply
suggest to the svo1unteers, 'sswho I'M
hesitatingly obey their every com
mand, even when it is simply out
lined. A subject will sell newspapers
or black boots in the audience, or
pedd1e fish or hunt, using a broom
stick as gun. In short, every vagary
that can be con ceived by the human
brain, these hypnotisedI subjects &C
cept and gravely act unon. The
whole entertainment is uproarious1y
funny and very entertaining. It
makes the finest and most 1aughab1e
exhibition that will be presented to
our citizens this season.
