No wonder the small boy was so fat. As he

The pockets OF his jacket handful after handful
Of ginger snaps, which he gobbied so fest that
they seemed to be thrown into his mouth in
continuous stream. This gastronomic perform
ance, however, did not interfere with his
manipulation OF little wooden box which he
held in his other hand.
Pausing for a momen. in response to a Gues-
ton he hastily swallowed two or three ginger
snaps AZ a guip and deigned to explain what it
was that the box Contained. To begin with
there was small font of rubber types. These,
though nodded in continuous string, could
be pulled apart 60 as to MAKE about seventy
separate letters. There was "stick" to set the
types in, brass tube full of printing ink and
pair OF pincers for handling the type.

ASHTON AND SANDY STRING.
It is not generally known perhaps that it is
proposed 10 connect this city and Baltimore by
Two electric railroads. Stree: car lines they are
to be properly speaking. bat as they are to be
forty miles long and wilI unite Two CREST centers
of population it seems more appropriate to
speak of them railroads. People no doubt
have been scmewna. skeptical to whether
the two cities would be united by an electric
railroad. but not only il the first enterprise pro-
posed being pns he'd forward with visor. but an
o:he- &na entirely distinct plan is now being
matUred. Residents of both Washington and
Baltimore have been familiar Co. some months
past with TIE scheme OF building q boQvelard
road between this city and Baltimore. One OF the
features OF this scheme was an electric railroad
along the bocvelard which wolld practically
follow the lines Of the turnpike. There Was a
good deG! Of talk and also good deal of doubt
as to whether the scheme would ever be carried
Gus and especially that feature involving the
construction OF AL electric railroad. However.
when wealthy syndicate OF street railroad
owners who had acquired controlling interest
in the leading car lines in tie city OF Baltimore
began the purchase of railways in this city with
the intention. rs announced. OF providing for
their road from Baltim ore connection right
into the heart OF this city then it was generally
realized that there was more business in this
bouvelard scheme than was first supposed.
TO BE COMPLETED THIS SEASON.
The syndicate is now operating two street
car lines in this city and what Is known rs the
traction lines in Baltimore and the engineer,
Mr.. W. kesley Schoepf, wac is located in this
city. has practically completed the surveys for
the line to Baltimore. 1t is expected. AS has
been stated in TIE STAR, that tine portion Of
the road from this city far as Hyattsyile
will be completed during the present season.
The exact route that will be followed is not
known. or, at least. not announced, but as
shown on tine map which accompanies this
article tine road will follow pretty well the line
of the steam road and the old turnpike. The
syndicate has the right under charter OBJ
aimed from Congress to build a road fro m
the bounds of the city along Rhode Island

An OLD STRUCTURE.
Tia house is quite old. having been built
nesrfy hundred years back. and is constructed
somewhat after the generous and substantial
plan Of an English rural villa Of the past gen.
Grafton. II has q frontage of 100 feet and the
central portion is three stories high falling off
TO two stories on the WINGS The whole il ased
on strong stone foundations. The walls also are
very thick and built of brick. covered with
buf-Rray stucco. and this in turn IL partially
overgrown in places with ciinging ivy. The
bricks used in the old portion were mostly
brought from England in the primitive tune
when 1t was supposed that Maryland and yir-
ginia clay would not make them. Though old
fashioned, the house is q large one, and con-
tains sventy-.hree rooms, all of hbeeal pro-
portions. including q spacious parlor, big
dining room, q music room. . library and sew

br.rhank, S. D.. a small town nine
miles west Of Elk Point, was the scene of
a terrible crime Tuesday. Ned Bahcock
called at mrs. Banks millinery store at
yermillion in the morning and told Kate
Stefani, d girl he had been keekiDg com
pany with, that her ll'other was sick and
wanted her to come home. She would
not go with him alone, so he got another
girl, working in the same place, to go.
IIcSlitcled up his team to a cutter and
they started for Miss Stefani's home,
about a mile from Burbank. When they
got to a railroad crossing about three
miles from Burbank he told the girls to
see how beautiful the snow looked on the
hills, then he pulled his revolver and shot
Miss Dolly Hempfeld through the head,
which resulted in her death in about an
honr. He then shot Miss Kate Stefani
in the breast, the ball hitting a corset
steel glanced upward penetrating her
shoulder. She fell out of the cutter. He
picked her up and put her in the sleigh.
placing her head upon a cushion and
covering her with a robe. Upon driving
a mile and.a half, he asked: kate are
you dead" She made no reply, and he
shot her again, this time IN the shoulder.
Seeing three men coming across the
country, he unhitched the team, tied the
horses to the cutter. and. then shot him
self through the heart, Killing him in
stantly.

The Chamberlain correspondent-who
has gained so much notoriety under the
cognomen OF THE Chamberlain LIAR"
should lose no time In getting to Huron
with a stuffed club and hunting out the
state engineer of irrigation. Or, maybe
it is the Minneapolis Journal correspond
ent at Huron that should be lacked up.
Anyway, the said correspondent sends 3
special to the journal of the 18th refer
ring to a personal examination Of arte-
sian wells now being made by Capt. C.S.
Fassett, state engineer ofirrlgation" and
the dispatch goes on to state that q
wells have been put down in the state
since March 1st, and gives a list ofthem.
The wells in Brule county are not men
tioned--not even the famous Chamberlain
we'll. OF course the mere fact that seven
wells have been put down in Brule coun-
ty within that time-mDre than in any
other two counties-is Of small conse-
qnence, but when we think Of the good
paper and ink and brain racking time
that has been expended in acqnainting
the world with the wonderful gusher at
Chamberlain. and then not to have it
even mentioned-it is enough to make a
follow perform a war-dance on his grand
mothers grave. Holy Smoked. but that
Chamberlain correspondent should de.
! mand satisfaction somewhere.
