"A RAILROAD ABSORBED

ISioux City Tribune. 1st.l
The Sioux City & Northern and the
Sioux City g. Western railroads became
q part of the Great Northern system at
midnight last night. They wera abb
sorbed BY the sub division of the latter
road, known as the Willmar & Sioux
Falls, an arrangement not entirely
pleasing to local business men, who
have always felt a personal interest in
the Sioux City roads as being really a
part of the town itself. This objection
seems likely, however. to be soon re-
moved. Col. w. P. Clougn, president of
the Willmar & Sioux Falls and first
vice president of the Great Northern,
gave assurance of this today in an in
tervlew. in which he said:
AT midnight last night the name
.Willmar & Sioux Falls exactly de-
scribed that line. II originally extended
from Willmar to Sioux Falls and was
afterwards extended 10 Yankton. Now
the main line extends 10 Sioux city.
Sioux City will be the center for the
freight and passenger traffic depart
ments and a change OF name would GER
tainly be appropriate. That matter will
be taken up.''
The formal transfer of the Sioux City
s. Northern was made al . a. m. when
Col. Clough, representing the purchas-
ers. William S. and Robert e. Tod, de-
manded the road in the name Of the

a Canning Factory to Be Established
Through Efforts of Business Men.
The matter of establishing canning
factory was taken UP sometime ago by
the Business Mems Association and
the gentleman who first proposed the
project and offered to chance his money
in the. scheme. knowing the fertility of
the soil adjacent to Fort Madison and
having perfect faith in an institution of
5the kind ii conducted in an extensive
way. This man is L. N. Cantril, VINO
has been connected with the keokuk
Canning Company for the past nine
years, and thoroughly understands
every detail Of the business.
Since the first action of the Business
Mems Association in the matter those
interested have Investigated every de-
tall OF the proposition and are not only
conversant or the subject, but have the
money to back their Judgment.
On New Years a netting MAS held
and practically all plans for the. con-
summation of the project We're COM
pieted The only thing left TO do being
the selection of the site. filing papers OF
Incorporation and selection of officers,
when the matter Will have assumed a
definite shape. The filing of articles OF
incorporation Will be done in few
days The Stockholders are: Samuel
Alice. G. NJ. Hanchetu, II. ID. McConn,
George schlapp, ID. a. Morrison, Au-
gust Soechtig and T. y. Cantrl, the
latter to be general superintendent.
The company will be called the Fort
Madison Canning Company, with a
capital stock of $4,000. and a canning
capacity OF $4,000 cans per day.
The selection of a site has not yet
been definitely decided upon, but in all
probability u new building will be
erected
f Everything will be ready for business
by the time the canning season opens.
Mr. Cantril Will at once wait upon the
farmers and make contracts for from
six to seven acres Of tomatoes and from
$50 10 800 acres of peas. these two prod
nets being the principal canning arts
cles for the first season. He will also
contract for 400 acres of pickles. In the
canning season it is expected to employ
about 800 people and quite a number
the year round.

of the latters position on the Tugela
river, Heavy acts are generally settled

The Morning Posts military expert
says: Lord Ernest Hamilton in a letter

articles as a crusade against the civil
ians of the war office. This is not ac-
curate. No charges lave been brought
against any one. the unfortunate
course of the war has been attributed tic
want of foresight and preparation, and
the entire cabinet is held responsible. In
regard to the military officers, the only
comment has been to protest against
the attempt to blame the intelligence di-
vision. Lord Ernest Ham.iton, however.
brings definite charges against tnpse in
high military places, OF whom he says
that they have shown themselves I'M
equal to the work. He suggests that the
British generals Go not know their bust
ness. and that the commander in chief
CLord Wolseley) was, by his own adj
mission, insufficiently informed as to
the Boer forces. Ali these charges may
be true and it will perhaps be necessary
TO discuss them in the future
The Daily Mail says: Lord Wolse-
ley,s unusual silence implies that he
would be the last person to court any
kind of an inquiry on the vital question
of whether he is responsible Tor the
many blunders that have made US the
laughing stock of the world. The in
