Good Business Opening

F. A. Williams and wife, of Milbank,
were in the city Monday the guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. Holbrook, former Mil
bank people. Mr.. Williams is the pro-
prietor of the Milbank laundry and
during his visit here he was approached
by several of our business men and
offered some very flattering induce
ments to put in a laundry at this place
and before he departed for home that
eveninghe informed the writer that
the matter looked very good to him and
he was going to give it very careful
CONSIDERATION. Now that this matter
has come up, whether Mr.. Williams
takes the proposition or not, there is
one of the best openings right here in
Webster for laundry that can be
found anywhere. We have the bust
ness here, as was demonstrated while
Mr.. Fish was here, and it was demon
strated that home concern got all
the laundry which was to be had in
this city when they could and would do
satisfactory work. Webster sure needs
a good laurdry and the opening will
probably not be here very long until
come one has taken advantage of it.

REV. Slocumb is now closing his sec
ond year as pastor of the Methodist

Auto Trim to Rrookinps

Last week Mr.. and Mr.. .. A. Cl.p-
SON and two sons, Reuben and Orlando,
and daughter, Mrs. John Ling, of St.
Paul, who is here on visit, Mr.. and
Mrs. T. E. Haugen and son, Elmer, and
Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Haugen and four
children, who have been in Webster a
week or more visiting relatives and
friends, formed two automobile loads
for trip to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. E. Haugen at Brookings. The trip
was made in the large Buick belonging
to Mr.. T. E. Haugen and the big seven
passenger Stevens-Duryea owned by
o. A. Chilson. Everything went along
lovely until few miles below Florence
when there wss a loud report and when
the surprise was over it was found
that one of the large tires on the big
Chilson car had blown out. A telephor e
message was sent to Webster and lC
was found that the Day County Auto
& Supply company, which is always
ready to supply everything in the wants
of auto owners, had the large tire and
it was soon on the way down there
where it was put on and the remainder
of the trip was made without accident.
After arriving at Brookings the entire
party spent day with Mr.. and Mrs.
E. E. Haugen and then the remainder
of the party returned to Webster,
arriving here Saturday night and
reporting a delightful ride.

Danger From Autos

Parents should caution their little
children to be very careful about cross
ing the street in front of automobiles,
for in face of the utmost care on the
part of the children and the drivers of
cars accidents are liable to happen.
Just to illustrate. A few days since
we were watching out of our office
window and we saw little fellow on
roller skates on the Irwin Pharmacy
corner. Just as he started across the
street we saw DIR. H. A. Peabody pass
our window in his machine. The little
fellow had plenty of time to have made
the crossing and nothing happen.
But something did happen: Right in
the middle of the street the little boy
fell down. DR.. Peabody, fortunately,
however, had also seen the little fell
low attempt the crossing and had his
machine under the most complete con-
troll and stopped it even before the
danger point was reached, But some
thing might have been the matter with
the brakes on the machine so the doc
tor could not have controlled it and
then the Little boy would probably have
been killed The best time to cross
the street when there is an automobile
coming is after the machine has passed
and if that rule can be impressed upon
young and old alike great many acct
dents can be averted.

AND "PINk' HIT THE NIGER
Earl Smith Finds Employment
in Crazy House is Not
One Sweet Dream.

Last week we had Earl Smith,
"Pinkey," employed in the hospital for
the insane at Rochester, and imagine
our surprise on Saturday to meet him
on the streets of Webster. We asked
him how it was, and he said he was
employed as one of the guards atnight.
The. night before he quit one of the
"crazies, a big buck niger, took
notion to make run for him with a
chair. Earl ducked and the niger fell
over. him, and as he was falling Earl
took punch at him and when the Mo-
ger was picked up it was found he was
suffering with broken jaw. Earl did
not wait to be told to go-he had
enough and left at once. He informs
us that he is now one of those who are
''back TO nature" and suiting his
actions to his words has gone to the
Hillebrand ranch and is now engaged in
the quiet farm life, or was when this
article was written.

the past year has made over $500. The

increased from about seventy-five to
one hundred and twenty-five, an aver
age of over seventy at Sunday school

organized into Missionary Sunday

five cents for this purpose each Sunday.
"Rev. Slocumb has taken over forty
into the church, baptized ten. preached
sixteen funeral sermons and has mar
ried ten couples. He has just two more
Sundays before the close of this confer
ence year. His people one and all have
been very kind in inviting him back.
The members have all been loyal and

have put their shoulders to the wheel
faithfully"
The many Webster friends of the
Rev. will be glad to learn of his success
in his present location. The report,
however, would be more satisfactory if
it included the number of fish he had
caught and the chickens lie had shot,
because We all know that if there was
no fishing or shooting there Wisner
would have been without pastor so
far as Rev. Slocumb is concerned.

Shipping Fancy Cattle

Upon special order for gentleman
from Nebraska last week j. G. Engel-
hart went out in the country to look up
a car load of special cattle to be taken
to Nebraska and corn fed. On Satur-
day Joe turned the stuff over to the
Nebraskan's agent and he must have
been satisfied for the check he handed
Joe in settlement for the bunch showed
that they averaged $41.53 per head.
Well they were pretty good bunch of
stuff, five of them weigher $500, five
others, $500, the third five were a
little lighter, tipping the scales at 5,28O
then there was bunch weighing 1000
and followed by a single boy which
weighed 800. That is much better
bunch of cattle than usually seen in the
yards at one time and the price received
only goes to show the truth of the
statement which has often been made
in the Reporter and Farmer that it
pays to raise the best cattle. Get busy
Mr.. Farmer, and grade up your cattle,
it will only take few years and you
will double your profits as it costs no
more to feed good one than poor
one and generally not as much for they
are large and strong and rustic better.

Day County Will Have Exhibit

H. o. Wickre will go up to his home
farm in independence township the lat
ter part of the week and will ship from
there to Huron four Belgian horses,
three mares and stallion, and six
Duroc-Jersey hogs three boars and
three sows. These animals will all be
entered at the South Dakota state fair
for premiums. The fact that the stock
from Mr.. Wickre's Home Farm have
taken the highest premiums in both
the st. Paul and Chicago live stock
shows makes all Day county folks feel
pretty confident that the Day county
animals exhibited at the state fair this
year will come in for piece of money,
if not for some of the first premiums.
We who know Wickre's selections
in the past, feel assured of nothing but
firsts all the way through. There is
nothing like raising the best stock, not
only for the increased money there is in
them but the great satisfaction that
comes to any man when showing that
kind of stuff.

was done for him to no avail. He pied

Der of relatives and friends and taken
