ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

Harry Latham of Aurora, attempted
to commit suicide at the county jail
this morning by jabbing himself in the
throat with a small pen-knife, which
he concealed about his person. The
wound is not a serious one, although
it bed profusely and several stitches
were required to close it. Latham was
brought up from Aurora yesterday, suf-
fering with delusions brought on by
excessive drinking and without doubt
was not in his right mind when he
committed the act. Arthur Nesson,
another prisoner, took the knife away
from him after he had stabbed himself
once. and notified the sheriff, who
bound up the wound and called doc
tor. Latham will probably be brought
before the board of insanity when he

IS IN DOUBT
HIGH SCHOOLS ALL CLAIM THE
HONORS.
BROOkINGS NOT DEFEATED
THIS YEAR AND HAS AS GOOD
CLAIM AS ANY OTHER TEAM.

The many close battles wagnd
between the high school football
teams Of the state this year has peen
remarkable. and has led nearly everv
team that has made any record at all
to claim the championship honors
Sioux Falls is the latest team to claim
everything in sight, which they did
following their victory over Aberdeen
last week. The Sioux Falls Press
says:
by defeating Aberdeen yesterday,
Sioux Falls high school has a just
right TO the title of state champions.
1t is true that this title is contested
and by good team, that of Pierre
high school. Pierre has defeated
some of the best teams in the western
part of the state. and also won 3 to-
0 victory over Aberdeen comparatively
early in the season. Pierre defeated
Aberdeen by a goal from the field
before Aberdeen had developed any
particular form. Sioux Falls defeated
Aberdeen decisively by hard won
touch down, which is considered worth
two goals from the field. BY
comparative scores Sioux Falls is
twice as good as Pierre. Even the
most enthusiastic Sioux Falls fan,
however, would be loath to make that
assertion but that Sioux Falls high
school has a better team they do
strenuOusly contend"
1t is hard TO reason out just why
accorded the honors over Brookings
Watertown Madison or one or two
other schools. Watertown defeated
Sioux Falls, and BrOokings and
Madison played them tie games, sc
| it is hard to figure out where their
championship claims come in
/ Brookings outplayed them on theil
/ own field and would have undoubtedly
| defeated them had the team been q
! little more aggressive in the first
! half Brookings also tied witt
| Watertown Brookings is moi
claiming the honors, but it does CLAIM
to have as good right to the crown
as several other teams. The situation
looks like a Chinese puzzle to us
and the championship question vii
be undecided until next year.

A QUIET WEDDING.

A quiet wedding took place at the
home Of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ o. Hill
on Thanksgiving day, when tteir
daughter, Miss Mabel was united in
marriage with Mr.. Walter G. Carl Of
Vayland. The ceremony was perform
ed at high noon, Rev. Hugh Robinson,
of the Presbyterian church, reading
the service. The only witnesses were
Mr. and Mrs. Hill, Chas. H. Brown
and Miss Winnie Paul.
Following the service a fine we'd
ding dinner was served by Mrs. Hill.
The bride was attired in cream lace
over cream silk and carried lilies of
the valley.
The bride is one Of Brookirgs' finest
young ladies and has a host of friends
here who will join the Register in
wishing the young couple every happi-
ness.
They departed Sunday evening for
their home at Vayland, where Mr.. Carl
is cashier and part owner Of bank.

ALL STAR TEAM.

Coach Woods of Sioux Falls, has
picked what he considers is an all

team. The picking of an all star team
is merely q matter of opinion, and is

five of his own men. The team is as

CLOSE SEASON
WITH VICTORY
COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEAM WINS
FROM HURON.
ON THANKSGIVING DAY
SEASON JUST ENDED HAS BEEN
A SUCCESSFUL ONE.

The football season was brought to
close on Thanksgiving Day with a
game between Huron and Brookings
colleges. The game was played at
the fair grounds, and resulted In a
victory for the state college bunch by
a score Of A to O. The game was
played on a field of mud and slush,
which prevented fast work by either
team. Brookings won because they
were the better team by large
margin, not that they displayed any
marked football ability, and Huron
put up the poorest exhibition seen here
in many day.
The score at the end of the first
half was % to 0, and in the second
period of play the home team run up
16 points more. Had the field been
dry there Is no telling what the score
would have been, but 1t would have
reached the 100 mark The home
team displayed good fighting spirit,
much better in fact than they had shown
in former games. and they kept right
after the visitors until the call of
time. Huron played a plucky game,
but that let's them out.
For the home team Meharg was the
bright and shining star. He was in
every play and his work was an
inspiration to his team mates.
Captain Atkinson. playing his last
game for Brookings, was nearly as
good and several other members of
the team displayed good work at
different times.
One of the best crowds Of the
season was out to witness the game,
as the weather was nice, although
the ground was wet and muddy.
The game closed the season for
the State college. The past year has
been very successful one and Coach
Saunderson and the members Of the
team are entitled to congratulations
on their good work. Every game
played this year has been fought for
to the last minute and i'm the Yankton,
North Dakota and Mitchell games
hard luck prevented a tie or a
victory for Brookings. Vermillion,
the state champions, this year claimed
to have the best team in their history
yet they only beat Mitchell 6 to 0
and the latter team barely won over
Brookngs. scoring n drop kick from
the 40 yard line i'm the last three
minutes Of play In the North Dakota
game two costly fumbles lost the
contest, although Brookings outplayed
the northerners two to one. In the
Yankton game failure to kick goals
after their two touchdowns lost a
chance tc tie. and a safety made by
Yankton through the inexperience of
one of the home teams new men
made victory possible for the down
state team.
The teams lined up as follows on

Of Mr.. and Mrs. f. q. Wood, who by
her popularity and hustling ability has
gained an enviable position in the
race Miss Wood is teaching school,
but finds time to hustle for votes.
The Register has a word of advice
for the contestants. II is this Work
for the special prizes This applies
more to the contestant who feels she
Is weak than the one who has plenty
of votes. The contestant who boards
her votes sees the pile grow larger
and more satisfactory each week, but
1t is an established fact that the more
satisfied a contestant is the less ef-
fective her work will be. The girl
who casts all of her votes each week,
even though she may not win a spec
ial prize, helps her chances, because
she feels poor in votes and gets out
and hustles for more. To begin well
in any contest is a great advantage,
but it is not too late to begin now.
The contest has only started and all
things are possible for any young lady
when her efforts are properly directed.
Get in the procession. Be a worker
and a winner
Miss Minnie Winters, one Of the
hustling contestants of District No. l,
came in this week and claimed one
of those handsome jewel boxes. which
she won by putting forth little extra
effort
The contest for the gold necklace
ended on Sunday, and the result was
very close between five young ladies
in District No / and four contestants
in District No. 2. The winners were
Miss Alma Glindeman, District No.

ESKIMO FATHER
EATS HIS CHILD
HUNTER DRIVEN TO CANNl5AL-
ISM BY sTARvATIoN-TRAG-
EDY OF FAR NORTH.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Oct. 5.-Tragedy
in the Far North formed the burden
of the news brought to port by the
Hudson Bay Company's steamer Ad-
venture, which arrived with the crew
of the lost Dundee whaler Paradox,
and the story of an Eskimo, who,
drive nto cannibalism by starvation,
ate his child, and shooting several
neighbors, who attempted summary
punishment, fed into the trackless
wilderness of ice.
The Paradox, one of the fleet of
whalers, met the fate of her compan-
ion ship Snowdrop, when she was
crushed in the ice foes off Baffin Land,
early in August year ago. The crew,
with scanty provisions, made their
way ever the broken ice toward the
mainland and were picked up by the
steamer this fall.
The Hudson Bay mounted police re-
port through dispatches brought by
the Adventure, the cannibalism of the
starving Eskimo. The mans fishing
and hunting season had bee ma failure.
and driven mad by hunger, he cut
he throat of one of his children and
hen ate the little victim.
When the mans neighbors learned
# the horrible crime they attacked
lin, according to the primitive law of
heir race. The outcast beat off all
ssaults, shot down several of the at
acking party and escaped into the
wilderness. His fate is unknown.
