neighbor in literature. Mr.. Yule and
his company should give us a per-

ing engineers.
The success Of the alumni Of the
state college speaks well for the kind

engaged in forestry; geological sur
vey; special egents Of the department
of agriculture; drug inspectors; agri-

SIOUX FALLS FIRM WINS.

Brown & Saenger Of this city had
strong competition in bidding for the
contract for furnishing the wooden
and steel furniture for the new $780,
100000 court house just being complet-
er at Brookings.
There were nine firms bidding fol
the work, coming from Sioux Falls,
Chicago, st. Louis, Sioux City and
the twin cities, but the local firm was
successful in carrying off the job
which will amount to upwards of ST.,
800.
This is a well deserved compliment
when a firm in a city no larger than
Sioux Falls can successfully compete
with similar firms from the larger
cities in the country.
The new Brookings county court
house is completed to the dome and
will be in shape SO that the work Of
installing the furniture can be taken
up in a very short time.
Brookings is justly proud Of it's new
court house and Sioux Falls Is proud
of the fact that it has a firm that car
compete with like firms in the larger
cities Of the country.-Sioux Falls

WILLIAM YULE IN 1.-THE RIVALS

An early Offering at the Grand opera
house will be William Yule, the well
known comedian, in Richard Brinsley
Sheridan's brilliant comedy "The Ri
walls" Every character in this great
comedy lays claim to special atten-
ton, but the prominent characters,
Bob Acres and Mrs. Malaprop, are
recognized the world over as unap-
%proachable samples of their peculiar
types.
THE Rivals" is attractive not only
to lovers OF the best drama but to
students of literature as well, who
will want to see on the stage their
favorite characters Of the library. At
the same time, all who love to laugh,
and who have not yet enjoyed this
delightful, scintillating comedy. 1t
passes from one amusing situation to
another with rapidity and with such
clear and concise wit as to be ire
sistable. AS it is a classic and
abounds in so many difficult character
portraits it necessarily takes a cast
of unusual excellence to properly
bring out It's brilliance. With Mr.
Yule and his associate artists one
finds such a cast, and the people OF
Brookings have a are dramatic and
literary treat ahead of them wher
this comedy is presented here on mex
Tuesday.

EXPANSION IN TRADE.
Is Shown by Both Bank CIearings and
Railroad Earnings.

New York. Nov. 11.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Records of both bank clearings and
railroad earnings reflect the conserva-
tive expansion in trade activity due to
more spirited buying to replenish
stocks that became depleted through
long hesitancy.
There is Improvement in the finan-
cial situation at home, while foreign
conditions have been materially helped
by the agreem ent in the Morocco dis
pute, though the Tripoi and Chinese
complications still remain. The situa-
ton both in Europe and the United
States only needs that strengthening
of confidence which opens great stores
of capital to big undertakings to bring
about a notable Advance movement.
The timidity born of uncertainty has
been the chief underlying cause of the
retarded business enterprise.
Statistics of pig iron production and
steel orders during October testify to
the more satisfactory conditions in the
iron trade. Moderate orders for cotton
goods are coming forward daily, but
hesitancy is noted in the placing of any
substantial advance business. Lower
prices are stimulating orders on print
cloths and convertibleS Printers have
sold more goods than they have pro-
duced in the past four months and are
running well on percales and miscel-
laneous staples.
Exports of domestics are substantially
ahead of a year ago for the correspond
ing period. Jobbers are doing a mod
crate trade. A much better business
is being offered in woolens and wor-
steds and advance orders are now
ahead of a year ago. Yarn orders came
forward in small lots and users are not
anticipating more than a few weeks
ahead
Business in footwear is fairly salts
factory and an Improvement is noted
as the situation advances.
Leather is less active. but there have
been heavy sales of hides with firm
prices

MERCURY TAXES TUMBLE
Drops Twenty Degrees in Forty Five
Minutes.

After the Warmest night since Sep
TENDER Ia regular summers night
the wind suddenly shifted at $50
o'clock this morning from the south
west to the northwest, and in forty
five minutes the mercury had dropped
from the IS degree point until the
reading was AS. At the same time the
barometer was rising rapidly, all of
which goes to show that a cold wave
has struck Topeka.
The forecast is: "SnoW and severe
cold wave; Sunday generally fair and
continued cold"
''To be a cold wave" said Sunny
Flora, the local observer. 1T must
go to at least "a degrees, and the
chances are that it will go lower than
that.
The temperature at 1890 last night
was 81 degrees, but then came an up
ward jump of II degrees in l 3 minutes
caused by the shifting of the wind
from the west to the south The fall
in temperature began at $50 this
morning when the wind changed from
the southwest to the northwest
~ yesterday was the Warmest No
vember 10 on record, and last night
we had regular summer temperatures.
The wind has been blowing at a swift
pace at times. At $50 this morning
the pace was 3 miles an hour"
When people went to work this
morning they observed the wet streets
and thought that a shower must have
fallen in the course of the night This
was not the case, however. The
ground was cold and the warm air
condensed the moisture.

it. A meeting between Coroner Hoff-

Rational Home Remedy
For Wrinkled, Baggy Skin

Bathing the face in a simple. harm
less lotion made as follows, is the best
thing I knew of to dispense wrinkles,
from the finest lines to the deepest
crowsfeet: Powdered saxolite l o..
dissolved in witch-ha II pit. Your
nearest druggist can supply the con-
stituents at small cost It is a natural
and rational treatment, as it tends to
remove the cause OF these teIl-taIe
signs of advancing age. Having both
a stringent and tonic properties, the
solution tightens the too-lOose skin,
WHITES and solidifies the underlying
muscular tissue. This smooths out the
wrinkles and gives the skin a firTner
supporting foundation.
Obviously this effect must also re-
duce hanging cheeks, double chin and

action of this lotion IS another COM
nendable feature. Those to whom /
