RAILROA SOUTH.
The Survey Almost Completed and the
Road to be Built.

That Dickinson and the Black Hills
will be connected by IL railroad is al
most an assured fact and the work OF
grading is to commence next spring.
the line passing through New England
City and striking the survey of the
Mandam and Black Hills road at Il
point ten miles south of the latter
place follow it to the Black Hills.
The route is the shortest, most feas-
ible and passes through the best farm
ing and grazing country west OF the
river. 1t passe~ through the coal
fields and by starting from this point
the whole line may he built without
much heavy grading. Surveyor Rich
ards, with his corps of assistants, AZ
rived here last "Wednesday and in
formed II PRESS representative that
the survey of the Mandm and Black
Hills road had been completed and
starting from point on that survey
ten miles south of New England City
they had surveyed aline through that
town and to within IL few miles of
Dickinson and that the survey to this
place would be completed early in the
spring. He WAS enthusiastic over
the country through which the line
passed and thinks IL resources above
other parts of the territory and with
good farming land, cheap grazing
land, unlimited quantities of coal and
good water he believes the road would
be a paying investment from the start.
He has no doubt but what the line
will he built and work commenced
next spring. This will he good news
to the people of Dickinson and New
England City. III the Northern Pa
cifc is interested in this road, as some
believe, the fact that the division
headquarters, dispatchers aud other
offices of the division have been re.
moved here from Mandan and tho
round house enlarged, looks as though
work was to actually commence OF
the new line at IN early date.

through this section and as an induce
ment to subscribe each subscriber is
offered a premium of Il lot in the town
of Marquand, Mo. Our readers should

lots may be there, but they are prohi.
bly, located in II swamp and purchased
by the acre at II very low price, cut
up into lots and offered i'm the above

Il good round profit on each acre of

say "if yon do not wish to keep the

Anhefn News.

The directors of the Ocean, Anheim
and Pomona railroad met last Friday
afternoon and elected the following
officers: Ed. Records, President; S.
Littlefeld, President; A. Rim
pau, Secretary; Peleg Jones, Treas
urer. The engineer of the company
was ordered to proceed at once, and
with all possible dispatch, with rum
ing lines from Anheim, by way of
Olinda and Yorba, through the Santa
Ana Canon to Pomona. The line is
all located southwark to the coast at
Los Alam!tos bay, where the new har-
Dor is to be made at once.
The Carlton townsite people are
busy making their reservoir to supply
the town with water. A hotel will be
built at once, and the motor road to
Anaheim will be in operation in a
few months from this time.
The Del Campo Hotel is getting on
very well, and soon Anaheim will
have one of the handsomest hotels in
Southern California. The Albrecht
Bros. are making a fine record in the
work they are doing.
Lumber is scarce in the old colony,
and some of those putting up new
buildings haul material from Long
Beach.

he attacks things all along the line.
If he does not fight it out on that line
all summer it will more astonish his

is and what such man can do in a
position like the one he now fills.

. The ThOebe- Contest.

The contest made by Mr.. Thoebe
for the seat of Mr.. Speaker Carlisle
may be said to be ended by the report
of the Committee on Elections of the
House of Representatives. Sypher
who managed Thoebe's case comes
before US as a most designing, dang
erous and INSCRIPTIONS pettifogger.
Those most acquainted with this case
have said from the first that there
was absolutely no ground for con-
test. When this Sypher made his
presentment of the case it was made
most manifest that there was no
ground beneath the case-unless
perchance the affidavits presented,
charging political fraud the grossest
this country has heard of since the
days Of Hayes, might be based on
fact.
When Carlisle's side of the case
came up before the Committee, the
first thing developed was that this
charge of fraud had not been heard of
until after all the testimony was taken.
Next followed testimony most dam
aging to Sypher's case, in afidavits
from an officer on whom attempts at
bribery were made in the interest of
Thoebe-the false witness sought for
being in the line of proving these
charges Of fraud. Then we have the
most positive statements of those
with the facts, that
no such election returns as those
referred to in, Sypher's argument
had ever been seen in the
District. And last Of all there is the
oath of the Speaker himself, in which
he swears to facts Numerically OPP
posed to those set up by Thoebe's
lawyers-for to give this contestant

TYRos in learning always think that
an appeal to "a standard dictionary
must be final authority in all dis
putes about words and their mean

Webster's English Dictionary of the
edition of 1864, which fails utterly to
discriminate between the adjectives
polite and political. Every American
of intelligence will see the difference
in Specification as used in this coun-
