Northern Pacific itu n,or..

Aberdeen News, 20: 1t is rumored that
the Northern Pacific contemplates maxi
ing Aberdeen Il division headquarters on
its ro',.e from Oakes to Pierre and thence
on west. Stockyards, a round house and
other buildings. including repair shops,
will RECONSTRUCTED on Il good sized scale,
and II is not altogether improbable that
work will be commenced on some of these
improvements and additions in a few
months time. One thing is certain: the
Northern Pacific will be IL splendid acccs-
sion to the business and commercial in
tercsts of the city. aud as It's policy is ag-
grcssive it will leave 10 avenues open in
its efforts to get a goodIy share of the
shipping business at this and other
points.

Results sin Rn i'd CITY,

Rapid City Republican, 1S: The board
of directors of the Rapid City, Missouri
River and St Paul railroad met this fore
noon and passed a resolution to put
corps OF surveyors in the field immcdi-
ately.
A canvass of the books of the subscrip-
tion committee revealed the fact that
sl25.0O0 had already been subscribed.
Three preliminary surveys are contem-
plated, one down Box ED ar, one down
Rapid creek, and one along the divide be-
tween these two streams. The prompt
and business like action of the directors
removes the last doubt as to the reality of
this enterprise. aud tittingly ihaugurates
work on the Rapid City. Missouri River
and st. Paul railroad.
Quite a number of resident and nom
resident property owners are yet TO be
seen. and that the subscription list will be
swclIcd to much larger proportions goes
without saying.

General Manager ward.


JAS. A. Ward returned from his trip to
Chicago Tuesday night, where he went to
confer with President Oakcs and r. NJ.
Newport, upon a telegram from the
former. His account of the matter, us
given to a Capital reporter, is as follows:
"Work will begin at once, and dirt will
be flying on the grade from the Pierre end
inside of three weeks. Work will be
pushed as fast as possible, and by the
middle of the summer we expect to have
the grade completed ready for ironing.
AS to the report that the Northern Pacific
will buy the piece of Chicago and North
western road between Aberdeen and
Oakes know nothing. l can see no
reason why it should not be proper
move and one likely to be adopted. Any
way, we will know something about it
pretty soon, for If that is not done con-
tracts for the work will have to be let. I
do not expect that the Northern Pacific
will reach the Black Hills this season,
but there is no question in my mind but
they will in time for the next meeting OF
the legislature. The road is all that its
name, Duluth, Pierre and Black Hills,

known, one by which the Twin Cities

A Woman Arrested Believed to BE Miss
Ava or Diss Debar.
CINCINNATI, Sep. IA large woman
with bl onde hair was arrested at the
corner of Ninth and Elm streets last
night and taken to the House Of Deten-
tion. Her clothing was torn and disar-
ranged and she presented the appear
ance of having been roughly treated,
She says her name is Vera Ava, but
she cannot account for her being in Gin
ciunati. She tells a remarkable story Of
being in Chicago Thursday, and with a
Mrs Bolton drove in carriage to the
house of Father Kelly, a Catholic priest
in that city. She went to the priests
house alone with satchel containing
several thousand dollars. While talking
to the priest some persons threw a shawl
over her head and robbed her of the valu-
ables she had in her hand. They then
put her in a carriage and drove rapidly
away.
The woman is under the impression
that she was brought here in the car
riage from Chicago.
Before being arrested she made appli-
cation for room at one of the leading
hotels here but was refused on account
of her shabby appearance She is held
on suspicion.
The police believe the woman is none
other than the notorious Diss Debar.
