The wisdom Of the change of hours of
the evening service at the First Presby-

attendance. Yesterday afternoon the
church was well flied. Dr. Vass' remarks
on the rectitying OF the imperfect sight Of
man by tho divine optician were beautiful
and helpful. These vesper services are

large congregation. They will be continued

The important suit in Texas against the
railroad commissioners has come up for
argument in the United States district court
at Dallas, and the Financial Chronicle
says 1t is very much to be hoped that some
conclusion will Re reached which will do
much TO protect bondnolders In the future
in all parts OF the country. 1t seems palpa-
BILE that the question Of railroad rates in
any locality is a question of fact-a ques-
ton of degree-and when rates are forced
down arbitrarily by state railroad commas
sioners to such point that the no Ids can
lot earn fair interest on their cost, the
situation becomes one In which remedy by
suit in equity is eminently just and proper
The present action offers an opportunity for
the display of not q little eloquence on the
part OF plaintiffs counsel by picturing the
condition of Texas before any railroads
we're built there, the increase in wealth and
population since, the losses already made by
persons who have invested good money in
the securities Of those roads, and the pros
poet hereafter, If the state pursues a course
which will drive the railroads a second time
into the hands OF receivers Tor no other
reason than that they are denied the privi-
lege of charging fair rate for transporta-
ton OF freight and passengers.

o most every improved farm i'm
plencnt has been forced upon thefarmer
by necessity, and greatly Injured to his
benefit. But, asks Mr.. Potter, did it
ever occur to him that the common road
leading from his door-yard to the nearest
market is part of the machinery of agri-
culture-that his farm wagon is a ma
chine, pure and simple, and that the road
bears the Same relation to his wagon
that the steel rail bears to the railway
car! Every one agrees that our roads
are bad. 1t is q common thing for the
farmer to be caught in the predicament
set forth in the illustration. Heis caught
in the pasty depths of the main road,
and his best horse is nearly pulling the
harness in two in its efforts to lift him
and his scant load OH to the little bridge
near the mill. There were $1,000 farm
horses in the county on the day this pic
ture was taken, and forabout four weeks
the roads had been in just this condition.
leaning was out Of the question; to
haul a load to town was impossible. As
Stunning the cost of keeping each horse
at 25 cents per day, it cost 81, 500 per
day, $17,5OO per week, and $4,000 for
the four weeks the III, 900 horses had been
standing idle. 1t will be thus seen that
a bad road is al expensive thing. Mr..
Potter adds:
1T is expensive not only to the farm
ers Of your county but to the farmers of
the entire country. The average rain
fall in the United States is something
over forty inches per year. The dirt
road absorbs these forty odd inches of
water; freezes and thaws, dries, pulver-
ICES, changes from paste to powder and
back again from powder to paste, and
sable. Farm traffic Is tied up. You have

to grind, timber to haul, bills to collect

for the liberal use of horse power in the
maintenance OF agricultural traffic, it is
easily certain that the farmers of this
country are keeping at least two mill
ions OF horses more than would be
necessary to do all the hauling between
farm and market, if only the principal
roads We're brought to a good condition.

the prime source of all national wealth,
and should make him the happiest and
most independent of mortals. Still tho

which it is grown. The second class
includes those who are heavily in debt
because of the attempt to w and Gull
tivatc high priced land. If they were
to sell their Eastern holdings, they
could buy cheap lands, put up build
ings, procure live stock and possibly
still have money left. At any rate they
would have some hope of ultimately
getting out of debt, which would re-
quirc nearly al entire lifetime under
Eastern conditions. Tho third class
who should lose no time in seeking
South Dakota is the renters. 1t is hard
to be poor anywhere, but the mon who
are renting high priced land in the
East have themselves to blame if they
continue poor. Why pay another man
Il large portion of the crop when yon
can get cheap land and cultivate yowr
w possessions. With IL very small
sum of money Il man can make IL start
here. III he cannot pay for his lana ne
can secure II loan upon It and he can
enjoy the satisfaction of working or
himself. The rich soil OF South Dakota
with the same amount of labor will vie d
u crop %unthought of by the man who
has been used to the stony hill sides of
the East.
South Dakota is one of the prairie
States. That is to say. it is !: portion
OF that large area over which large
herds OF buffalo formerly ranged. Ihe
rich. black. loamy soil produced an
abundant supply OF bu!fllo, b"nch,
blue joint. and other Wild grn ;ses,
which furnished food for the buffalo,
deer, and other animals the year
through. When this fact is kept in
mind. it is not surprising that all kinds
of stock flourish we'll and tllat cattle
are able to get a good portion OF tlrrir
food ont of doors in the midst OF Win
ter. Indeed. the large herds of cattle
on the ranges are not fed ut all. In
Eastern Dakota. however. the farmers
put up hay which they are able to do
not in June and July as is done in the
East, IL in September and October,
and even up to cold weather. This hay
costs from 81 to s., aud is very nutri-
tious. Hence it will appear that live
stock can be raised at the very lowest
possible cost. thus giving the farmer q
large profit.
Then. too, the climate is of unsnr-
passed healthfulness. The dry, invig-
Grating air seems to ward off all dis.
eases which usually attack u domcs-
tic animals. Sheep especially do we'll.

comes as near being Il perfect paradise
for domestic animals as one can we'll

Already many farmers have largo
herds of cattle and sheep, while there
are quite a number of fancy stock farms
where especial attention is given to
raising fine horses. This OF course re-
quircs large capital, and the progress is
necessarily slow. but u number of
fancy stock men have found it to their
interest to sell their high priced eastern
land and to transfer their holdings to
tbs State. by so doing, they have
found that they are able to gain better
financial results.

Here" says MIR. Potter, you have
nearly 5000, OO0, 900 invested in motive
power of a perishable, uncertain and
expensive kind. Busy Or idle, these
animals must be fed and cared for every
day. They are boarders that you can't
get rid of when the busy season is over,
and it stands you in hand to keep chem
at work. Two thousand million of dol
lars make n large sum. Invested at 5
per cent. interest it would produce
nearly 50, 0Oo, 900 per week. Then you
see there arc more than sixteen millions
of horses and mules alone, and to feed
and care for these it costs the modest
sum of 81, 0O0, 900 per day. A little while
ago Il very clever and intelligent citizen
of Indiana estimated that bad roads
cost the farmer SIS per year for each
