The Pioneer says: "The street rumor
that the d. c. was about to be sold to
the b. & NJ. railroad seems to be without
any foundation. From the best infor-
nation attainable it is learned that an
offer was made by the d. c. to sell all
its present constructed lines and it's
rights OF way to Spearfish and Galena
to the b. & NJ. for 100000, but the offer
was declined. 1t is far better, not only
for Deadwood, but for the miners, that

LIST.
1t was reported yesterday that after
May first the Elkhorn road will run
special train from Deadwood to Hot
Springs Saturdays, and on Mondays from
the Springs to Deadwood. The pro-
gramme agreed on was that the trains
were to leave Deadwood at FIVE In the
evening and start from the Springs at
six in the morning. The hours would
be decidedly more convenient than
those ruling now. Agent Albertson
stated he had heard nothing of the mat
ter and did not believe there was any
thing in ii at present. ut rs possible"
however, he continued, "that If Saturday
travel to the Springs increases sufficient
ly to justify it, a special will eventually
be put on. ."-Deadwood Times.

was that at least sixty miles of track

PUBLIC SCHOOLS--OUR OPPORTU.
NIFTY,

1t can be donel Not to do it will
BE- worse than failure almost a
crime. "For lack of knowledge are
my people destroyed saith the Lord."
Now the way is plainly opened to
secure an institution that shall bring
knowledge into all our homes and
bring with it all the golden fruitage
of our christian civilization.
AS surely as the sunlight brings
vegetation SO surely does general
education bring wealth. British
authorities concede to the United
States the possession of a greater
amount of wealth than has Great
Britain whose possessions extend
around the globe. Now in a hun
dred years the United States has
accomplished more than England in
fifteen hundred years. 1t would be
foolish to claim that this marvellous
growth would have been possible
without the public school system
which We now have the opportunity
of securing for Marietta.
Now it is not enough that you are
going to vote tor Public Schools. A
responsibility is on you to secure
other votes and to forego no posi-
BILE efforts to get out votes enough
to establish this blessing among us
You are not satisfied with some
features of the law. Neither am I.
But it will give Marietta a complete
Public School System, which can be
modified or amended by the same
voters that call It into existence.
You don't like some things in
connection with the passenger train
from here to Atlanta, that notwith-
standing your objections to it, will
carry you safely and on time. You
can OF course take your grip-sack in
hand and go on f1ot-the older
slower and more dangerous way
The citizen who refuses to vote OF
work for this law chooses the older
slower and more dangerous way tol
the community in which it is now
possible to confer the greatest posi-.
ble public benefit. LIS.
