THE COMING LINE.

Terms ON Which the Manitoba will
Operate stub to Sioux ether
Items.
Sioux Falls Press: A few Of the ex-
changes received at this Office the past
few days seem to think the Press was
somewhat severe the other day in it's
reference to the Sioux City and Northern
railroad, that has been built time and
again on paper. One of these papers Is
the Pipestone Star, and it says Sioux
Falls is o trifle nettled to think that
Sioux City aspires to connection with
the Manitoba, and also questions the
magnanlmity of the citizens of this
place. The Sioux City Journal and
Times say the Press has opposed the
line and belittles it in every manner
possible.
As to the statement made by tho Star
the Press will say that Sioux Falls
doesn't care the snap of finger about
the line, even if it could be built. To
talk about building and to build are two
different things. Ii built it would be
but branch, and would be only feed
er to the main one which passes through
this city. Ii could never be anything
else, as President Hill has no desire 10
go into Sioux City. He wouldn't
object TO operating the road
lif he was allowed to dictate
the tap, which as stated before must be
either in Sioux Falls or south. Bus the
Press repeats ats statement, Oh the
grounds of good authority, and that is
the line won't be built and operated as a
part OF the Manitoba system, because
Sioux City insists that the tap must be
made about twenty miles northeast. The
result is, il Sioux City gets connection
with the lakes 1t must be by Milwaukee
assistance. III this company dosen't feel
disposed to parallel its own line il might
extend from Egan to Montevideo. This
may be Sioux Oity's route to the lakes
if she has one, and while IL is not as de.
sirable as the Willmar and Sioux Falls
it is better than nothing. Il will save
many legal contests over that three per
cent tax. and by calling the gentleman
| IN from the east who is trying to put up
| bonds on paper railroad security, large
hotel bills will be avoided.
The charges made by the Journal and
Times are wholly without foundation,
for the Press never mentioned She Siouz
City and Northern, previous to lest
Tuesday morning.
Willmar Republican G0zette: A Iot
OF bridge material for the Willmar and
Sioux Falls road has been unloaded

been sent up from below TO work al

will soon be laid so that material can be
hauled out and unloadsd along the

cent denials by his sons aud intimate
friends that he was in i'll health have
had the effect OF creating what
is deemed to be more than o
suspicion that even Mr.. Blaine himself
entertains the idea OF leading his party
IN the approaching campaign. More
than anything else to give vitality to
this impression is the instruction placed
upon 80 many delegates TO the Chicago

delegates in the west and central states
without the customary instructions. Ii
is stated by the most ardent Washington
friends OF Mr.. Blaine that in nine in
stances out OF ten. where there have been
no instructions in states which have
heretofore cast their delegate votes for
the man from Maine, il is intended that
he shall be supported for the nomination
in convention again, ii it is shown that
his health is good enough to make his
nomination advisable,

Row-Mr. Day Intervio wed.
Aberdeen, April 28.-The political
fight now going on In the territory be-
tween GOV. Church and Hon. M. H.
Day is creating more interest than any
political contest ever waged between
the parties in Dakota. Maj. O, BOYD
Barrett, who stands very close to Mr..
Day, and who is well posted on territo-
rial politics, said to journal reporter
to-day:
All the counties which contain Ieree
cities have gone for Church without an
attempt from Mr.. Day 10 control SIZE
delegations. The majority OF the gov
errors appointees reside in sheae coun-
sieR, and being compelled by their chief
to control the delegation at Watertown
at any cost have spent money Literally
and have succeeded in ACCOMPLISHING
their masters bidding. But these coun.
ties and cities, however, do not comprise
the majority in Dakota. The smalle,
counties, where Church's appointsef
have no control, will all send solid Dsy
delegations. which will give him ma.
jority OF 50 to 40 in the convention
From this time out Day delegations vii
be the rule and not the exception.

The Dakots democratic convention for

Governor Church has for his most
potent allies the prestige of official posi-

and almost insane generosity by a repub

convictions OF the people as his support
and their desire to protect themselves
against the corruptions of an alien gov
ernment. Under the political manipu.
tations of these degenerate days
the odds Of the contest are on
the side of the carpet Dagger

the fisheries on the north shore of
Lake Michigan. and added to what
was already in the hatchery, not only
fully stocked the hatchery, but left a
surplus amount. At the fish hatch
cry now there are over 800 jars of
white fish spawn, holding about 50,-

fish eggs at that place, will be reship-
ped to the U. S. hatchery at Duluth

his men have been very successful
this year in gathering eggs, and not
only stocked the hatchery here but
will furnish many millions of eggs to
other hatcheries. The Worthwhile
hatchery is devoted this winter most
ly to raising trout.

They kindled a fire and went to sleep.
While thus sleeping the shanty caught
on fire and was full of fire inside
when they woke up. The flames were
rushing out of the door, which served
as chimney. Molhaney made rush
through the flames in the door way
and got outside, but was horribly
burned. His companion noticed
that the flames issuing out of the door
did not extend to the ground, so he
crawled out under the flames, and es-
capped uninjured.
