The resolution offered by council
man Shuckhart at last meeting of
Council proposing the repeal of certain
restrictions as to building materials to
be used on Union Street, between
Water and Bowery streets, looks like
a step backward. Frostburg is getting
big enough to have its main thorough
fare made more and more safe by
brick and iron structures. SO appar-
ent is this that, instead of opening the
door to more intlammable pine wood,
the building ordinance proposed to be
impaired, should be strengthened and
extended beyond Water and Bowery.
Council should go very slow in the
act of crawfShing.

TWO NEW RAILROADS.
Good Prospects for One Road to be Con-
structed Into Brookings.

Good Prospects for One Road to be Con-
structed Into Brookings.
The Sioux Falls Press contains the
following:
There are two railroad extensions In
South Dakota which have already
been definitely determined upon by
the railroad builders that will repay
careful watching by the people Of
Sioux Falls and the Big Sioux valley.
The Chicago s. Northwestern railway
is building an extension of It's lines in
to Sioux City from the east to connect
with its line through the central part
of South Dakota at Ce nterville, thirty
five miles south Of Sioux Falls. The
company already has line from Cen
terville to Yankton and another east
ward from Centerville, making good
route to Chicago; but 1t would DO only
natural that the company should seek
direct entrance into Sioux Falls BY
extending the new Centerville branch
further up the valley. The North
western is also preparing to build from
a point on its Watertown line near
Marshall, MINI, into Brookings coun-
ty near the Lake Hendricks country.
This is a fine section Of country far
removed from railroads at the present
time. The line would naturally 60 on
to Brookings on the Northwestern
east and west line. In fact this is
where it will go. From Brookings to
Sioux Falls route could easily be
picked out that would yield good pro.
fits on the investment. A direct con-
nection of the line from Sioux City
and Yankton through Sioux Falls and
along the Sioux valley to Brookings
and thence to connections In Minneso-
ia and the northeastern part of South
Dakota is most natural.
There are some convincing signs
that this is the plan which has already
been adopted by the Northwestern
railroad company. 1t will not be car
ried out in Its entirety this year, but
will be next year.
Another railroad project that ap-
pears to be attracting some attention
is that from some point in Nebraska
on the Niobrara river into the range
country west of the Missouri river.
The rumor comes from Box Butte
county, Nebraska, and is to the effect
that road will be built into Gregory
county and crossing the river near
Wheeler or above will make connec-
tions with the Milwaukee system at
some convenient point. Some OF the
rumors about this line are very pointed.

men killed outright In action with the
Filipinos Feb. 4 to June 6, covering
the period Of active hostilities. In
those four months, with an average
of 1000 men engaged, the killed were
226.
This great disparity demonstrates
what improvement has resulted from
the experience Of the Santiago cam
paign, when 1000 men died from dis
ease and only 26O were killed. In fact,
the health question in the Philippines
has apparently lost its novelty, and no
question having been raised about 1t
from this side OF the ocean, no recent
cable reports from Gen. Otis contain
any allusion to it."

p. S. Cook, one of Sphinx county's
citizens, was In town short time this
week, enroute to Bookings. Mr..
Cook is an old.time resident Of the
Jim valley, where he has been farm
ing for the past eighteen years. In
conversation with a reporter, Mr..
Cook said that he had been doing
very welp' since he quit raising
wheat" He went on to say, In sub
stance: "You see, when I first went
to the Jim river valley / thought, as
most Of my neighbors thought, that /
would get rich raising wheat. Wheat,
you know, is not always success out
there-nor anywhere else for that mat
ter. Well. tried wheat year after
year. only to find that l was not
amassing very big pile Of filthy
lucre" as the years rolled on. IL l had
not tried to raise 90 much wheat, but
had gone into stock right from the
start, even II had had but one old
brindle COW with crumpled horns and
had kept her on picket rope, l should
have been better of 30 far as this

six years ago I began to get few
cows about me, and now, last month,
my income from my cows was abodt
seventeen dollars and / expect to
to double 1t this month. It's the
creamery that is doing the business.
We made great mistake out there in
the Jim valley when We stuck to
wheat raising so long instead Of get
ting stock about US, especially milch
cows. ."-Watertown Public Opinion.

The following is an extract from a

the battle prior to the capture Of
Calumpit:
"Well, the next morning we started
forward again and / think about 10 a.
m. we came upon the niggers. As
usual we had to advance over long
open space. When the enemy opened
upon us we, of course, huggsd the
earth as close as possible. We poured
In a few volleys and were then ordered
forward. We had to cross about one
half to three-quarters Of a mile Of
open plowed ground. 1t was a corn
field. We moved forward as fast as we
could. expecting every minute to see
the niggers get up and dust. But they
did not. We were getting closer. We
could see their faces. See them raise
up and shoot. This was getting in
teresting. We did not have particle
OF cover. We were almost upon them,
VIII en- 10! there was a river. We could
not cross, we had not a bit OF cover.
Niggers within eight rods Of US. The
order came along the line to lie down
and shoot. l sat down, for l could
shoot better. Some Of the boys laid
down, some sat down. 1t was not long
before Guy Skinner, right beside me,
was hit in the leg. got up and help

boo, dressed his wound and hurried
back into line. The company had

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Now Plant TO bs Put In st Once-6St
Light Capacity.

The New Plant TO be Put In st Once-6So
Light Capacity.
At q meeting of the city council
Monday evening bids for the con-
struction of new electric light plant,
under municipal ownership, were'con-
sidered and the contract was awarded
to W. I. Gray s. Co., of Minneapolis,
with the understanding that work
shall commence on the same a. soon
as material can be placed on the
ground.
The system adopted Is known as the
three wire system" Crocker- Wheeler
dynamo with commutator, $50 light
capacity. The old dynamo will be
used for arc lighting. The energy will
be supplied by a 12x24 Twin City Cor
lass engine.
The REGISTER believes that the
city council has acted prudently and
for the best interests Of the city in
their choice of plants for lighting the
city. 1t believes they have considered
the city's interests as they would have
their own under like circumstances
and they should be commended for
their action.
Brookings will very soon have .
firstclass electric light system and
with proper patronage from our peo-
pie it will no doubt prove paying
investment.

Baldheadsd Soldiers.

"When our boys come home from
the Philippines their friends must be
prepared to welcome an aggregation
OF baldheaded heroes"
These were the words of soldier
who recently arrived home direct from
Manila. While taking of his hat to
some old friends who greeted him he
made the above remark about the
baldheaded heroes. His own hair was
disappearing and he hastened TO as
sure his visitors that he was not alone
in his afflIction. =
"Yes," he said, replacing his head
gear, 1.-THE heat in the country oc-
cupied by our troop between Manila
and Malolos is intense enough to liter
ally singe your hair. or course, we
keep our hats on. Death by sunstroke
was the fate of those who went bare
headed, and we suffered continually
during the day. Much complaint was
made against our heavy campaign

GROSS ISLANDERS REEUTEp.

Health Conditions Among Our Troops In
the Philippines the Very Best.
THE statements to the effect that
men around Manila are dying like flies
and that the war department has been
compelled to suppress the regulation
health reports, which it was formerly
customary to make public, turn out to
be gratuit0usly false, but serve the
good purpose Of bringing out the fact
that the health conditions IN the
American army under Gen. Otis are
not only astonishingly excellent, but
have probably never been equaled In
any army In tropical countries" says
the Washington correspondent of the
Minneapolis Tribune.
Compared with that of last sum-
mer Ia Cuba, the comparative im-
munity from death or serious illness
Of the American troops fighting out
side OF Manila seems little short of
miraculous. From the landing OF Gen.
Anderson's first military expedition,
near Cavite, on June 80, last year, up
to the last weekly report from Gen.
Otis dated June 6. there have been
only 1854 deaths from disease, although
his total force has been 10000 men.
In the same period SO men have died
from wounds.
"In view Of the notorious insalubrity
Of Manila and its environs these
figures are almost incredible. They
challenge contrast with the best Eng
lish experience in Egypt or In India,
and they surpass even the excellent
conditions that exist In Cuba, where
there is no fighting and the men are
not exposed to the elements, but have
comfortable garrisons Men drowned,
or who died from injuries received
otherwise than in battle are counted
in the total of 36i This total is in-
teresting, compared with that Of the
