A lady living close to Main street
complains to the Register that some
boys have been behaving like hood
lums in the vicinity Of her home the
past week. One of their tricks was to
place a heavy iron bar against the
door and when it was opened the lady
narrowly escaped injury. The boys
had better look a little out, for If our
efficient night cop gets hold of them
there will be something doing.
County Treasurer Gullick and Depu-
ty Culhane are going some these days,
as the first half of the taxes are just
in and they are working all day and
part of the night to keep even. The
force in the auditors Office are having
a short breathing spell, after getting
through with the Richards primary
law, which took three or four times as
much work as the old primary, and
they will get theirs again in a short
time when the assessment returns be.

day, the 18th, and it will take effect
on interstate business May /. This :
reduction is something the people have
been fighting for during the past six
or eight years and the railroads finally
had to come to it. The fare to Mime 7,
apolis from Brookings under the new
rate will be $4.91, a reduction of about
two dollars. This Is based on a rate !

day night, April 14th, in an elaborate
and complete production of Shake
speare's greatest play, Romeo and
Juliet. This comes on rather short
notice, owing to a sudden change in
the company's route, but it will not
require much time for the ploy-goers

make up their minds to avail them
selves of this rare opportunity.
Five men were arrested at Huron
last week for violating the national
game law prohibiting the shooting Of
ducks or other game birds in the
spring, and Uncle Sam will likely see
that they pay and pay well for their
fun. A copy of a B%elvidere, ILL.,, paper
reaches us telling of the arrest and
conviction of a hunter near there and
he got a $50 fine and 60 days in Jail,
without the option of paying the latter
in a fine. The paper stated that in
formation had been secured against a
number of hunters and that the gov
eminent would take its time about
prosecuting them. It will not do them
any good to leave the state, as the
long arm of the government will reach
out and get them anyway. The govern
ment had a large number Of agents in
this state and there is likely to be
more prosecutions here. The law is
a mighty good one and was obeyed by
