IMPROVES

Z. p. Goerndt, proprietor Of the
~Brookings creamery, is making a
number of improvements in the inter
Tor Of his place, including the laying
of a new cement floor, and when
they are completed he will have about
the neatest and most sanitary cream-
cry in this section. Mr.. Goerndt tells
us that business has been excellent
with him and the farmers evidently
appreciate and are supporting their
home creamery. Last Saturday eigh-
ty-five customers brought the cream.
cry $500 pounds OF cream, which
made 1000 pounds of butter. This is
an average Saturdays run and the
balance OF the week Is almost as
good.

BAD ACCIDENT AT ELkTON

An automobile belonging to Henry
Trautman, an implement dealer at
Elkton, was struck by a Northwest
ern engine last Thursday and two Of
the occupants Of the car were badly
injured. Mr.. Trautman, who was
driving, was the more severely in
jured and little hope is held out for
his recovery. He sustained a broken
arm, broken leg and three fractured
ribs and was terribly bruised about
the head and body. He was unccn-
scious for three days and it is thou2At
that he cannot live. Cornelious
O'Leary, a we'll known citizen of Elk
ton and one Of the old time residents
of the county, received severe but
not fatal injuries. He was badly cut
about the head and bruised about the
body. James O"Leary of Flandreau,
and a man named Lukens of Ward,
the other two occupants of the car,
escaped without a scratch. The ma
chine was totally demolished
The accident happened at the cross
ing a mile east of the town. The car
was coming south and the driver did
not note the approach Of the engine
and caboose coming from the west
until he had nearly reached the track.
At first he thought that he could get
across in safety, but changed his
mind at the last moment and shut OF
the power and applied the brakes.
The brakes, however, failed to work
and the car Of it's own momentum
rolled some distance. so that the front
end OF the machine was sQuarely
across the track. Mr.. Lukens, who
was in the front seat, and James
O'Leary jumped clear OF the a be-
fore it was struck but Trautman and
the elder Mr.. O'Leary. who Is seventy
five years old, were thrown a dis
lance of thirty feet with the machine
The engine crew took the party to
Elkton. where first attention was
given to Mr.. O'Leary, as it was
thought Trautman was dead. but q
later examination revealed a faint
spark Of Life.

Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Yankee Of this
city, passed away at Aberdeen Tues
day afternoon, death being due to
p~eritonitis. She went to Aberdeen
about three weeks ago to visit a sis
ter and was taken sick soon after
her arrival and her condition became
so serious that her parents were call
ed there the last of the week. The
remains reached here last night and
ii is expected that the funeral will be
held this afternoon. The young lady

A WISE COUNTY BOARD

The county commissioners OF Tur-
ner county appear to realize the great
benefit hal a frst-class exhibit to the
state fair brings to a county. At a
recent meeting the board appropriated
5000 to help dafray the expense OF the
Turner county exhibit, which insures
that county a fine representation at
Huron. The Turner county people are
enthusiastic owe the county exhibit,
which is in charge Of a general com
mittee OF one hundred citizens, but
the work, however, would be seriously
Handicapped without the assistance Of
the county commissioners.

RAISES RAILROAD ASSESSMENT

A Pierre dispatch says that the
state assessment board has made a
raise Of $40 a mile on the North West
ern line from Brookings to Watertown
to cover property not heretofore as
sessed. This property is a tract OF
eight acres in this county and has
been owned by the company as a
gravel pit since 1904, but never re-
turned for assessment. The board
has instructed the county auditor to
spread on his records a valuation OF
$74S against the company for each
Of the years from 1904 to 1911 inclus-
i've, and made the increase on that
branch 10 owe that valuation for this

consumption, and therefore the propo
sition to make the canal free for
American vessels, with tolls to all
foreign ships, will undoubtedly be ad.
hered to.
The number of men in public life in
Washington who are waiting for the
political band wagon, Is made up OF
such numbers that the vehicle is like
ly to be crushed by overlooking when
it finally comes along. There never
was a time in recen history when
there was more ~reticense regarding
the intentions OF congressman and
others regarding the national ticket.
OF course the conviction may be
strong in the minds OF many states
men as to what they ought to do, but
when it ONE to finding out what
they will do, most OF them indicate
that there is plenty Of time, and ne
mark, 'let US wait and see."
While Mexico still has its usual
number of revolutions, yet there Is less
indication of the need OF Intervention
on the part of the United States. Our
forces continue to police the borders,
yet the advices received in Washing
ton are to the effect that the regular
Madero government seems to be gain
ing the upper hand.

WATERFOWL TO CANADA

Watertown dispatches state that
articles OF Incorporation were filed
Tuesday for the Minneapolis, st. Louis
& Canada r. r., a branch OF the Min
neapolis & st. Louis, which will build
a line from WATERFOWL in a north
westerly direction to Canada. The
company is also negotiating for the

He Had a Complete Abb

A stout old gentleman was bitten
In the calf of the leg by a dog. He
at once rushed to the justice of the
peace and laid complaint against
a man in the neighborhood whom he
supposed to be the owner OF the Of
Tending canine. The following was
the defense offered at the trial.
"First-By testimony in favor of
the general good character Of my dog
I shall prove that nothing could make
him forgetful of his canine dignity
as to bite calf.
"Second-He Is blind and cannot see
to bite.
Even IL he could see to bite, II
would be utterly impossible for him
to go out of bis way to do so on &C.

GOOD MANNERS AND GOOD
SENSE,

An interesting article might be
written on Individual Utensils vs. The
Common Lot. The list of articles
from the individual toothbrush to
the individual bath-tub is a long one,
and steadily growing longer, yet the
list of things we use in common Is
still very long. The common drink
cup is the least necessary, and should
head the list. The roller towel Is
next. The soda fountain glass as
served in many stores, has had only
a theoretical" cleansing.
Many examples show that we do
good many things because we think
they show good manners rather than
because of our good sense. For ex-
ample, q mother will provide her
children with individual knives and
forks and chide them II they drink
out of each others glasses. 1t Is
true the Chinese and Igorrotes do 1t,
but this only emphasizes the fact
that careful American mother should
not permit her chiiuren to 80 trans.
gress social custom. That the care
which she exercises, however, Is due
to considerations of good form rather
than to good sense Is proved when
one follows this mother and her chill
dren down town and finds her calmly
giving each of them a drink from the
common cup chained to the public
fountain.
This is but one of hundreds of Illus

A PRAYER FOR THE BABIES.

o God, since Thou hast laid the lit
tie children into our arms in utter
helplessness, with no protection save
our love, we pray that the sweet ap-
peal of their baby hands may not be
in vain. Let no innocent life in our
city be quenched again In useless pain
through our ignorance and sin. May
we who are mothers or fathers seek
eagerly to join wisdom to our love,
lest love itself be deadly when un-
guided by knowledge. Bless the doc
tors and nurse, and all the friends
of men, who are giving Of their skill
and devotion to the care Of our chill
dren. If there are any who were
kissed by love In their own infancy,
but who have no child to whom they

FOR THE GIRL WHO TRAVELS

Watching q railroad station or a
steamboat dock, It seems as though
there are always people coming and
going. Where do all the people on
the trains come from and where do
they 60? So many women and girls
are noticed travelling about now. that
IL has ceased to cause comment. To
be sure, since women are taking so
prominent a part In the business
world. many of them have to go to
distant places. Girls living In the
country are going to the city to seek
employment. Others again, who
have been employed for some years
i'm America, are going home to Eu-
rope to visit families or friends. Still
others are coming to America to find
homes and work. Mothers with fami-
lies of little children are travelling
to Join father in distant places. SO
there is a ceaseless traffic back and
forth.
Whenever there are great many
unprotected people there are always
oersons who desire TO take advan-
tage of them. At railroad stations
and at steamship docks there are fire.

misdirect people and who sometimes
take their money and often lead them
into dangerous boarding houses or
hotels. They overcharge them for
transferring baggage. They charge a
fee for the most ordinary service and
in many ways exploit the unsuspect-
ing traveller.
There Is. however, protection
for the unprotected. Ask the ticket
agent at railroad station If there
Is a Travellers Aid Agent or Commit
tee in the city. The Travellers Aid
Society Is organized to give free as
sistance through competent persons.
Information and advice and the COM
pany of Travellers Aid Agents are
offered to women and girls travelling
alone. These agents are at the prin-
cipal railroad stations in New York
City, Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburg,
Chicago, San Francisco, st. Louis,
Seattle, Houston, Texas; New Or
leans and many other places. They
are found throughout Canada.
At steamship docks they assist Sec
ond cabin passengers. They recon-
mend safe hotels and boarding places
for temporary stay, or guide the trav-
eler through unknown streets to the
haven of safety.
In the month of May, 112, 1890
persons were assisted at railroad sta
lions and docks in New York.
The Travellers Aid Society, whose
offices are at 23S East 4Sth Street,
New York, will arrange to meet any
one coming to New York either by
boat or by rail and see that they
reach their destinations safely. II
they are notified in advance.
Frequently they meet a girl VINO
comes to New York on her way to
Europe. They see that she has a
comfortable and safe boarding place
until her steamer starts, and will ar
range to see that she reaches the
steamer safely. They do the same
thing for people coming from Europe
and going further by railroad.
There Is no reason why every girl
who needs to travel to New York or
pass through that city should not be
properly protected. IL she win look
or ask for the agents badge at the
station or ask the ticket agent about
her.
No girl is 80 sure of herself. espec'
tally IL she does not speak the English
language we'll, but that she could
make use of such assistance.
