Not a Rreath Of SUSPICION.

Many men, although they may not
care to confess il, need TO guard
against lapsus linguae. A case in point
is that of a prisoner who was address
ing n court over which Lord Russell
was presiding. a very nice story the
prisoner was telling of an offense al
legged against him of which he was
wholly guiltless-he, a man against
whom there had never before been a
breath Of suspicion.
"PrisOner, pardon me one moment"
interrupted Russell. you must speak
a little louder! l cannot catch what
you say. What was your last SEN
tence?"
And "SiX months, m lord" came the
amazing reply from that fatally facile
tongue.

Germany, under Charles the Great, al.
most 200 varieties were known. In
1855 these had grown to 100.

of which $50 acres is in corn, 125 in
alfalfa and rs in oats. Last year | had
60 acres in wheat, but am going to get
out of the wheat business, as / cannot

C"HRYSANTHEMUM SHOW

More than $4,000 blossoms Of every
color and description will be displayed
in the annual chrysanthemum show at
South Dakota State College for one
week beginning November 6. With
5000 plants covering a range of 24O
varieties, the display will probably sur
pass anything of it's kind in the North
west. Flowers will vary in size from
the tiny half-inch kind to the huge
snowy varieties OF ten inches in dia-
meter. The chrysanthemum show will
be open all day but special attention
will be given to night exhibitions,
when the greenhouses will be illumin-
ated by hundreds of electric lights,
with special music furnished by the
college orchestra. This flower show
will be one of the special attractive
features on Hobo Day, November II.

JARVIS To BUILD
NEW BRICK BLOCK
WORK WILL BE COMMENCED AT
ONCE AND MUST BE FINISHED
BY APRIL FIRST
ANOTHER OLD LANDMARK REPLACED YN
New Building When Finished Will Be
Occupied by Mr.. Jarvis With
Hardware Stock

j. l.. Jarvis has purchased the build
i" Nv occupied by the Fox
hN- Land Co, from Mrs. Adelaide
Orhrans and will commence in the inn
mediate future the erection of a fine
new modern brick building to house his
hardware stock next spring. This move
was forced on him by the purchase of
his present location by Frank Paige
last week.
The new building will be 100x24 with
a full basement made of cement under
it. Pressed brick will be used for the
front, and the interior will be finished
up with the best material. The build
ing will be one story high, but will be
frst-class in every way and will cost
about $4,000.
The old building will be moved from
its present location at once to give
place to the modern structure. This is
an old landmark, one of the first built
on Main street. The Register was es-
tablished in this building in 1890, and
remained there until it outgrew its
quarters when it was moved to the
Roddle building upstairs owe where
Mr.. Jarvis now conducts his store. anu
later to the present Register block.
The building was erected in the early
sos, and at that time was considered
quite an addition to the little prairie
hamlet struggling to exist in the face
Of adverse fastors such as grass hop
pers, short crops, little money, power
ty, etc.
And in this connection, the Roddle
building, too, is one Of the old land
marks. It's removal, as well as the
other building, marks the change and
progress forever going on and the ush-
ering in of better things.

LOTUS

Frank LOTUS, who broke Jail here
on February /, 1911, and made good
his escape has been arrested on the
coast by federal officers and will go to
trial next month at Moscow, Idaho, for
post office robbery. He now goes oy
the name of Donovan.
1t will be remembered that in Janu.
airy, 1911, he was convicted of bank
breaking at White and Bushnell the
fall previous to his trial, and drew a
sentence of eight years and nine
months for his crime. On the night Of
February /, 1911, he and a companion
named Forbes sawed their way out Of
the county Jail and were never appre-
hended.
Sheriff MINER received word this
morning of his arrest.
When Idaho officials get through
with him he will be brought back here
to serve his sentence.

MOVED ARMY IN AUTOS

The first attempt eve made by the
United States to move troops by auto
took place at San Antonio, Texas, on
September 8th. An army of 1000 men
was moved 200 miles in less than thir-
ty-two hours, and 1872 motor trucks
were used to carry the men. The at
tempt IA a great success in every
way.
This is of more thar passing inter
cause of the fact that Capt. Harry A.
Hegeman, who was in charge of the
movement, was a former Bookings
boy, and served in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war and later enlisted in the regu-
lar army. He was a graduate of State
College and has made a good record.
He was stationed at Vancouver bar
ricks when ordered to the border.
From a San Antonio daily paper we
take the following:
Capt. Harry A. Hegeman, who is in
charge of the four companies of motor
trucks. notified Col. II. l.. Rogers, chief
quartermaster of the Southern Depart
ment, that he would camp for the night
at C~astroville.
Gen. Funston seemed very much
pleased with the result of the trial. He
complimented Capt. Hegeman upon
the efficiency of the truck train and
the drivers under his command"
Speaking of the trip a captain of the
First Infantry said: Il wouldn't have
missed this for a farm. Why, it was
simply great. Let the railroads strike;
at this rate we can beat them to it,
anyhow"

LOCAL FIRM AWARDED JOB OF
BUILDING DEUEL. COUNTY'S
NEW COURT HOUSE
WORK ON FOUNDATION STARTS THIS FALL
Reputation for Honest Work Secured
Contract over Large Field Of
Competitors

The A. NJ. Void Construction Co., Oh
this city, was awarded the contract to
build the Deuel. county our house at
Clear Lake at a meeting of the county
commissioners held there last week.
Their bid was $50, 1926, or 1926 more
than the lowest bidder, the Dunn Con-
struction Co., but the county board
made it's award on the strength of the
reputation of the Void Construction
Co. This company is well known over
the northwest and does it's work So
well that the boadd of Deuel. county
felt they were taking no chances and
would get a splendid job, A difference
of a few hundred dollars Is Of little
consequence on a big contract.
The work will be started this fall
and will be finished according to con-
tract December /, 1917.

standpoint his speech was in every
way pleasing and satisfactory. From
here he went to Lake Preston and
spoke that evening and the next night
at Huron.

Mrs. Mary l.. Griswold passed away

to remain in Brookings and build his
new factory here, and also secure from
Mr.. Brictson what details he cared to
give the committee about his tires and
factory plans, and whether or not he
would consider remaining in Brook

son Manufacturing Company, the new
tires which MI. Brictson has perfected,
other tires and inner tubes which will
be manufactured, records and testi-
monials from Brictson tire users. Mr..
Brictson was unable to give the COM
mittee any definite answer as he stat
ed that he had some word or matter
which he expected and asked that he
be given an opportunity to give the
matter careful consideration, but ask
ed the committee to return the follow

company and the factory plans were
discussed Wednesday night but the
conference wound up still without be-
ing able to get any sort of a PROPOSE

stated while he personally would like

Brookings had it's first touch of high
life on the suffrage question when the
two factions met here last evening.
Miss Minnie Bronson, of the anti
suffrage spoke at the Grand Opera
House and Mrs. Elsie Benedict,
of the votes for women crowd
spoke on the street. After the street
speech the crowd went to the opera
house and the fireworks and other
~pyrotechnic displays started on their
arrival. The mild October evening air
was lurid, and even as we go to press
the booming of the heavy guns can
still be heard rumbling on the battle
ments within the city's welcome gates.

CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE

The Register understands that the
water and sewer connections are to be
brought only as far as the sidewalk
by the sewer contractor. If paving is
done in the spring as now seems likely
all connections will have to be made
before paving is commenced. 1t will
be impossible to make connections
from the edge of the sidewalk after
paving is laid. 1t is not too late yet
to extend connections to the lot line
instead of the sidewalk line.
