Will call you great some day.

SUPPOSE YOU WERE BALD?
You may not have a handsome face
And easy, winning ways,
You may hold down humble place
That very little pays;
You may be awkward, III at ease,
With not a friend to spare,
Yet, you should not be hard to please
If you still have your hair.

remains of his $ j. This announce
ment will be : at shock to the army
of friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Avery
in this city. Only the close friends Of
the Avery family even knew that Mrs.
Avery was sick. On Christmas day
Mrs. Avery gave premature birth to a
child and she had been in a serious
condition ever since, still none Of the
members Of the Avery family in Sioux
Falls we're prepared for the news that
came in the telegram. 1t is expected
that the remains will reach Sioux
Falls Monday evening. The relatives
Of Mrs. Avery, who before her mar
riage was Miss Frances Flick, reside
at Brookings.

two years ago and located at Cour d.

along nicely in a business way, but

ATTEMPTED TO
KILL COL. FROST
DaStardly Assault Made Upon
the Gallant Officer
THROWS A STONE THROUGH WINDOW
The Missile Intended for Mr.. Frost
Just Misses Daughter

From the Evanston, ILL.,, Press we
learn of an attempt upon the life OF
Col. A. S. Frost, formerly comman-
dant at the college here, and afterward
colonel of the 1st South Dakota
Volunteers in the Philippines. Col.
Frost is now chief OF police OF Evans
ton, and on account of his warfare on
blind pigs and beer wagons he has
received many threatening letters.
Some have threatened bodily harm,
and others have hinted that his life
was in danger.
The attempt was made when the
family were at breakfast, the would-be
assassin hurting a big rock through
the window at Col. Frost. The mis-
sile grazed the head of Miss Louise
Frost, who sat close to the window,
and struck the wall just beyond the
colonel with such force as to break off
goodsized pieces OF plaster. Col.
Frost rushed out, but could find no
trace of anybody. The stone weighed
eighteen ounces. The man who threw
it had evidently stood close to the
window, and as the curtain was raised
about foot it gave him chance to
take good aim.

To Protect the Children

c. w. Jerome of this city, has
drafted two bills regulating child labor
and prohibiting sweat shops and
unsuitable employment OF labor,
which will be presented to the legisla-
ture for its consideration this winter.
These bills have the endorsement Of
the churches and women's clubs OF
the city and it is to be hoped that the
legislature will see fit to add them to
the laws of the state.
The first bill is entitled "An Act to
Regulate Child Labor and to Provide
Punishment for Violations of Said
Act and to Provide for the Appoint
ment of Commissioner OF Labor and
to Fix His Duties and Compensation"
This act prohibits the employment of
any child in any occupation considered
dangerous or Injurious to their
health, lives, limbs or morals, and
authorizes the governor of the state to
appoint commissioner of labor,
whose duty shall be to see that it's
provisions are carried out. The second
bill is entitled Gan Act to Prohibit
Sweat Shops and Unsuitable Employ
ment of Labor and Providing for the
Punishment of Violation Thereof"
This act prohibits the sweat shop or
other unsuitable labor, and provides
for a fine of not less than ten dollars
or more than one hundred dollars for
every violation of it..

The Electric Railway

Flandreau Herald: We are informed
that the proposed Brookings and Sioux
Falls Electric railway intends to begin
work OF construction in the spring.
This will begin as soon as the ground
is in shape for plowing and grading.
While this work OF building has been
going on lin the papers) for two or
three years, the announcement that
the real article will be begun so soon
does not excite us. We are, however,
an excellent waiter and hope that at
last our dreams have become a
reality.

RAILWAY RUMBLINGS

Chris MATHS, Jr., son of Engineer
Maths of the Brookings-Redfield run,
was here visiting over Sunday. He
has a position at Pierre during the
session of the legislature, and after
that contemplates taking course in
the college here.
1t is rumored around the depot that
Brookings will have a new round
house next summer. The present one
has only room for two engines and is
entirely inadequate for the business
done at this point. 1t is said that the
new building will have either eight or
ten stalls.
Conductor M. l.. Redmond, who has
been running between Oakes and
Hawarden, was home this week visit
ing his family.
The trains the past week have all
been from one to four hours late from
both directions.
The section men have been busy
this week keeping the tracks in the
yards clear OF snow. Yesterday they
had the job OF clearing off the three
hundred foot platform at the depot.
Nearly every day cars of stone or
other building material pass through
here on the way to Pierre to be used
on the new bridge across the river.
