En6Iond'S Big Loan.

The British government has issued
an invitation for subscriptions to one
half the new loan of $500, 900, 900, stat
ing at the same time that the other
half has already been placed. There
is loud complaint because no explana-
tion is offered. The London Chronicle
voices the dissatisfaction of the public
when it speaks of the issue as dis
astrOus" one. "in which the British
taxpayer drops the round sum Of e3,-
300, 900 in the process of borrowing
6 G60,000,000." Part of it has been float
ed in New York.

/ Minneapolis, April lS:-The re
cent announcement that the Soc
would spend a million dollars il
betterments this year was only 8
drop in the bucket to the import.
ant improvements that road has in
mind.
| The 500 has determined to ex-
tend it's lines to North. Dakota.
The western extension now reaches
j to Braddock, N. D., forty miles
will be ironed this seeson and Soc
trains will run into the capital
city before snow flies.
The Bismarck extension, how
lever, is only link. The big piece
of building, practically decided up
on, will be the construction of a
line connecting Bismarck and
Aberdeen by a direct route. The
distance between these points is
about $50 miles, but the line will
probably run down to Aberdeen
from Wishek, a station on the
present line.
The way is clear for this i'm
portant piece Of railroad construc-
ton, as the road has only to fol-
low the grade established py the
old Aberdeen. Bismarck & North
western, which was graded between
i Bismarck aid Aberdeen several
years ag,oo. The extension from
Braddock 10 Bismarck will follow
also this old grade. The roadbedwas
taken over by the SEQ people ae
the time of the consolidation of the
Minneapolis & Pacific anl the
Minneapolis, Saulte Ste. Marie
H .
and Atlantic properties.
IMPORTANCE, OF PROPOSED LINE,
The Importance of the Bismarck
Aberdeen line can only be ap-
preciated by Dakotans and those
familiar with that country. Two
representative cities of North and
South Dakota are not only brought
into close touch, but an i'm nense
field is opened up for the great
Ignite coal industry along the line
of the Bismarck, Washburn &
Great Falls railway. This. fuel,
which seems destined to revolut-
ionize things in the Dakotas, is
wanted all over South Dakota, and
the demand has become SO great
that the 500 has determined to
place it in easy reach Of every
town in the state. At present
North Dakota Ignite, as well as
other freight moving between Bis
marck and Aberdeen, goes around
two sides of . triangle to get into
South Dakota. The coal is at
present sent from Bismarck to.
jamestown over the Northern
Pacific and over the same line to.
Edgeley, and from .Edgeley to
Aberdeen. making a long, circuit
GUS haul. Of about 2aO miles. The
Soo's new line will shorten this
distance 'by more than .s'ail'e I iseyenty7 ',
five miles.
There is no railroad extension
that will be welcomed by the peo-
pie Of both Dakotas as much as,
this planned by the 500 ''

THE PRESIDENT WILL LIVE.
Physicians at Buffalo Announce Me-
Kin1ey's Recovery as Al
most Certain.

The steady improvement of Presi-
dent Mckinley is significant of his
speedy recovery, although he is not
yet out of danger. The over anxious
physicians have been guarded in their
statements lest they might raise a
false hope, but when they are unani-
mously of the opinion that the chances
are for happy recovery, it is fair to
believe that only the unexpected is
to be feared, and it seems as if moth
ing had been unexpected or that any
precautions nave been omitted.
The anxiety of the people is, there
fore, relieved in a measure, and there
is disposition to rejoice. Leaving
out of consideration the treatment of
the intending assassin and the condi-
tions of society and mind which gave
rise to what now seems to have been
a conspil acy to slay the chief execu-
tive, the affair has served to accent
once more the confidence which the
people have in Mr.. Mckinley as a
president, and the regard in which
they hold him as a man. From one
end of the country to the other, from
all men without regard to their polit.
ical belief or affiliations, came the
same expressions of uniform horror
the same cries for acute vengeance
the same outspoken expressions OF
sympathy, and the same indications
of respect for the Office as well as
for the man who fills it. There is nc
doubt that the American people are
now, as they have been in the past, a
unit on all questions of sufficient inn
portance to call for a united effort
and that differences of opinion ant
varying political, industrial and com
mercial sentiments disappear in the
face of any incident which appeals tC
the nation as whole.
TO Mr.. Mckinley and to his faithful
wife, the assault which gave early
promise of being so disastrous, viii
be turned by the popular expression
and the general attitude of the peo
pie into an event which has served t
call forth tributes of love and esteem
which are accorded to but few men il
their life time.

HOW RECEIVED IN BELDINC.
Upon President Lamented
and All Rejoice over Prob
able Recovery.

When the news first reached Beld-
ing last Friday afternoon that Presi-
dent Mckinley had been shot it
seemed almost impossible of belief
and many were inclined to treat it as
a haox until latter reports confirmed
il and rendered no doubt as to its
authenticity. Then came the report
that he was dead. Men met with
blanched faces and asked each other
could it be true, and all eagerly
awaited further news. Later came
the denial of his death and hope of
possible recovery sprang up in every
breast. So it has continued from that
hour TO the present. Bulletins have
been received at frequent intervals
and most eagerly watched for and
closely scanned Daily papers have
been in great demand and newsboys
have been reaping harvest. Pray
ers were offered from every pulpit
Sunday that if itpleased God the life
of our beloved President might be
spared and they found an echo in
every heart. Each day the news has
grown better and more cheering and
now that recovery seems practically
assured all voices are raised in thanks
