Bro. N. G. Nash of the Canton
News may not be working himself
into the good graces of the Mil
waukee railway company very fast,
but he is telling some plain facts.
His latest is as follows:
It cost the Milwaukee about
80, 900 per mile to build their lines
in this state. The road was then
bonded for 10000 per mile and
the people of the state are taxed to
make this S11, 900 worth of water
ed stock, pay interest and divi-
dends. In 1887 the charges for
freight was about 673 hundredths
of cent per mile per ton. In
1897 the generous management
had reduced this charge about one
tenth of a mill, but this applies to
the whole system, while the rates
in this state have not been lower
ed. To show how this state has
been Disseminated against, or
robbed, we need only mention a
few instances. A few months
since there was a potato famine in
a neighboring town. Less than
one hundred miles from that town
potatoes were plentiful and cheap
and merchant figured on buying
a car load of Dakota potatoes but
he found that he could pay more
for a carload of potatoes in ST.
Paul and get them hauled three
times the distance through Min
nesota and Iowa for less money
than he could get them from this
state. The railways give the
Minneapolis millers a fiat rate Of
Is cents per hundred on fou,
from Minneapolis to nearly every
town in Iowa while the rate from
here only half way across the state
of Iowa is 20 cents per hundred
If Henderson d. Guinter want to
ship -four to Sioux City, a distance
of some 65 miles, they have tc
pay Is cents per hundred. A cal
of corn will be hauled from Oma'
ha to Savannah for 6 cents pei
hundred while the charge from
here to the same point is Is cent.
per hundred and the distance il
only q few miles greater. The
News hopes our railroad commits
sioners will go after the railroad
and be provided with the neces
sary authority to compel them tc
cease their robbery and compel
them to fix their charges fol
freight and passenger traffic at ,
reasonable figure.

The state press is practically
unanimous in its commendation OF
Gov. Lee for vetoing the Aber-
deem and Watertown normal
school bills. The consensus OF
opinion is that the state doesn't
need any more educational institu-
tions at this time, and that addi-
tional normals must necessarily
cripple and hamper those already
established. The time may come
when more normal schools will be
really needed in the state, but that
time is several years ahead. Mad

We Eat Too Much.

"Of the many cures in vogue.
and recognized from their records
as worthy the name, nine tenths
of them depend upon reducing
the diet for their effectiveness, "
is the position taken by Ella Nor
ris Kretschmar writing on "The
subject of diet in the Woman's
Home Companion.
"a widespread fad during the
last few years has been the no
breakfast cure" and thousands of
dyspeptics have gained health, the
stout have grown thin and the
thin have grown stout, all through
lifting the burden from overtaxed
digestions. An equally popular
cure preceding this was the leav-
ing off of the evening meal
equally effective, of course, just
as a ''no midday meal cure
would be if it should be promul-
gated.
"One of the most splendid cures,
for all ills, in Europe, is the grape
cure, practiced in Germany; and
it is said that anyone taking the
treatment drops off the wear and
tear of five years actually renews
himself by SO much. The sanitar-
iums where this treatment is given
are beautifully and healthfully
situated and comfortably appoint
ed. The patient is given nothing
but unfermented grape-juice for
a period of four weeks beginning
with a generous amount, decreased
to minimum allowance (as little
as the system will bear without
great weakening,) and gradually
increased to the first amount.
"At all European spas and
American springs, where people
are SO beautiful, what is the
course? A restricted diet and a
flooding of the system, with pure
water resting and washing the
system, ii other words.

manufacturing a fabric from gele-

Letters from Manila under date of
Jan. 18th, give the particulars Of how
brave and cool-headed Tom Smith
dispatched two Filipinos after being
wounded himself. Tom enlisted In
Co. E and went from this county in
the regiment of S. D. V. May he
speedily recover from the injury to
his face.
The following are the facts as near
as we can sum them up:
Private Tom Smith, Of Company e,
South Dakota, made an enviable repu-
tation as a cool.headed soldier and a
good marksman while on outpost
duty on the night OF Jan. 10th.
The young volunteer Is now in the
regimental hospital on Gale San Mi
guel, with his face distigured by cut
on the right cheek, extending from
mouth to ear. His wound Is not dan
gerous, but his face may always bear
a scar as a constant reminder OF his
thrilling experience with two treach-
erous Filipino outlaws, who attempted
to take his life.
Seageant Kicker, Corporal Wheeler
and three priv2tes constituted the de-
tail from Company E for outpost duty
Tuesday night. Private Smith was
assigned to one OF the Cossack posts
near blockhouse No. 2 in the Ermita
district and while patroling his post
saw two Filipinos coming up the mar
row, palm-fringed pathway ahead of
him. He came to port arms after
challenging them and was saluted
with "Buenas noches, amigo" Good
evening, friend. He brought his gun
to shoulder again and was about to
resume pacing his beat when one of
the Filipinos, who seemingly was
about to pass on, made quick spring
with knife in hand attempted TO cut
the soldiers throat. Smith lodged,
but received an ugly cut in the face.
Stepping back he quickly loaded his
rifle and shot his assailant dead. The
other native turned and ran with all
his speed down the dark, narrow path
whence he had come. The South Da-
kota boy loaded his musket again and,
taking as good aim as the darkness
would permit, pulled the trigger. On
the day following the browns skinned
devil was found dead in thicket OF
underhrush. There were two funerals
on the llth, but no mourners.
Smith was taken to his quarters ia
San Miguel, where the South Dako
tars are stationed, and surgeons dress
ed his wound. He was somewhat weak
from loss Of blood, but never seemed
the least excited. Great pains are
taken to leave as small scar as pos.
sible. The muscles of the cheek have
been severed and the patient as a con
sequence cannot move his jaw or mas
! ticate his food for which reason it be
comes necessary for him to live on Ii
quid diet.
Twenty men from Company E were
Immediately sent to strengthen tht
outpost, and every one had "blood il
his eye" Smith is certainly deserv
ing of much credit for his coolnes
and soldierly conduct at a critica
time, and is to be congratulated TO
his narrow escape from death. Hi
excellent craftsmanship under sucl
trying circumstances certainly ha
had the effect Of raising the American
soldier still higher In the estimation
of the Filipinos.

The first witness today, M. Paul Mey

of the School of Ancient Manuscripts,
described his researches i'm connection
with the Dreyfus case. which led to his
conviction that the bordereau was not
only in Esterhazy's handwriting but was
actually written by Esterhazy.

(Commotion.)
Professor Auguste Molinier, of the
School of Ancient Manuscripts. gave
similar evidence He said that each fresh
of the bordereau only served
to further convince him that it was the
work of EsterhaZy.
Amid deep attention the witness de-
monstrated how the conclusions OF the
experts who attributed the bordereau to
Dreyfus were mutually destructive, and
dwelt on the defects of NJ Bertillon's
arguments, pointing out the striking re-
semblance of the alleged doctored hand
writing with Esterhazys writing who,
he added. in eveiybody's opinion had re-
lations with Colonel Scwartzkoppen. the
former German military attache at Paris
and the dissinhlarities between the writ
ing of the bordereau and that of the
prisoner.
The members of the courtnlartial were
apparently much interested and asked
Professor Molinier a number of questions
TO which he replied, upholding his CON
clusion that IGsterhazy was the writer of
the bordereau.
