THE YOUNG MANS CHANCES.
Some Splendid Opportunities are
Offered Young, Men to Win
Success.

"a young mao of capacity, industry
and integrity has field for individual
effort such as has never before existed
in this country" writes Edward Box of
"The Times and the Young Man" in
the Ladies' Home Journal sApd sue.
cess is neither hard nor easier than it
ever was. Success never yet came to
the laggard and it never will. Let a
young man be capable; have enterprise,
be willing to work and carry himself
like man, and he goes where he will,
His success depends upon himself. No
times, no conditions, no combinations of
capital can stop young man who has a
determination to hoporably succeed, and
who is willing to work according to the
very utmost of hie capacity and sinews
of strength. The real trouble is that
the average young man won't work.
he has got the insane notion into his
head that success comss by luck; that
men are made by opportunities which
either come TO them or are thrust upon
them. And he waits for luck or q
chance to come along aud find him.
Instead OF taking sane view of condi-
tions and seeing with clear mind that
as trade widens opportunities Increase,
he takes the mistaken view that the
rich are getting richer and the poor
poorer. These are the conditions of
mind and life which are keeping thous.
ands OF young men down, and will keep
them down. The times are all right.
1t is the young man who finds fault with
them who is not"

Look Out for Chicken Feed.

The Dixon (Ill.l Evening Telegraph
heralds this warning:
A better graft than the "Buffaloesn
has made its appearance. It may not
cost one SO much in some cases, but its
sure to cost one more than IL cents if it
works. The joker with few kernels of
corn in his pocket suddenly and inno-
Gently (?) asks his friend If he can give
him a dollar for some "chicken feed,''
as small change is sometimes called.
The friend to be accommodating says
''yes" and hands out the dollar. The
joker then pockets it and hands out a
few of the kernels of corn that he had
in his pocket.
The meet recent reports from the
corn belt, however indicate thas the
promoters of this game are likely to be
defeated right at the start. Only the
very rich man will be able to go around
with few kernels OF corn in his pocket,
and his dignity will render him harm.

TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS.
Long Distance Phone Has Been Com
nected With Woonsocket and
North Part of State.

Better long distance telephone con-
nectiens have been completed north of
OF Mitchell to good many towns.
Work was commenced several months
ago to make the connections between
Mitchell and Woonsocket, the line hav-
ngNbeen completed north to Aberdeen.
The last of the work was completed
yesterday and conversation carried
on between Mitchell and Aberdeen par
ties. Heretofore to talk with Woon-
socket or Aberdeen it was neces.
sary to make number of changes
around through different towns
TO reach the places up
north directlyn and the service
was not very good. The Western
Electric Co., however, has been doing
it's very best to build in the connecting
lines and now has the work pretty we'll
in hand to make finish of the broken
places. With this completed line it
will be possible to talk direct with
Pierre without switching through so
many changes.
1t has cost the Western Electric Co.
large sum of money to complete the
work but their business is sufficient to
demand the best possible service.

hands nearly shot off by the premature
discharge of the field piece. One-half
of each hand was torn away by the powd.

that happened to mar the pleasure of
the week, and it was unfortunate.
None of the Co. D boys we're. in anyway
injured and they all came home in good
shape, glad of the opportunity OF attend
lug the first annual encampment. Itis
likely that the company will attend the
encampment az Yankton during the
state fair and enter the drilling contest
for big prizes.

GOT OFF WITH A FINE.
Prairie Chicken Hunters Were Fined
and the Justice Released
Their Guns.

There was big crowd OF people at
the court house Thursday afternoon to
hear the prairie chicken case that was
brought before Justice Kress on a.
charge of venue from Justice Mckinley.
Pat Champion and Phil Tobin, living
down in the country, and Frank Gibbs.
Robert Burns and c. A. Beebe we're
charged with having shot three prairie
chickens in violation OF the game law,
and the defendants were represented in
court by T. j, spangler. The case was
not OF long duration and only one or
two witnesses were examined, Game
Warden Dodson telling the facts in the
case as he saw them at the time of the
arrest. Mr.. Spangier did not introduce
any evidence on the part of the defense,
but made very strong plea to have his
clients released with the minimum fine
and to have their guns restored. The
court ruled that the defendants were
found guilty according to the offense
charged in the complaint. States At
torney Hitchcock presented the law in
the matter as to what was required in
reference to the fine and the disposition
Of the guus that had been taken at the
time by the game warden. About all
there was to the case was the DISPOSE
tion of the guns, and it was on this point
that Mr.. Spangler concentrated his ef-
fvrts. Justice Kress in rendering his
decision stated that he would fine the
defendants $40 and costs, but after view
ing the matter said he could not consci-
entiously retain possession of the guns
and ordered that they be returned to
the owners, which WAS highly salts
factory proceeding to the hunters, and
1t was evident they were thoroughly
satisfied with the verdict. On the other
hand many of the hunters were sur
prised at the leninecy of the court in
the disposition of the guns, as it was
generally supposed that if the men were
found guilty that the guns would be sold
as prescribed by the law. Game War
den Dodson says that the next case he
has of this kind will be commenced with
the view of carrying it TO the circuit
court.

A POULTRY MEETING.

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: A strong
effort will be made this fal. to secure
the next meeting of the poultry associa.

past two years at Mitchell, but there

in matter of this kind. Mr.. Keith,
the secretary, informs the Areus.Lea-
der that bis large correspondence shows
that Sioux Falls would be an easy fav-
orite. Not only would the South OAK

Luyerne has offered to abandon her

in Jaouary and if it is held here will be
displayed in the auditorium If the
show is held here it will be hum
rner. There will be at least three or
four hundred of the finest blooded fowls
on exhibition and fanciers will come
for two hundred miles around.
In the past three or four years Mitch.
ell has been the only town in the state
that has done anything to foster the
poultry show, and the local poultry fan
ciers have been something out of
pocket to hold the meetings. The one
trouble with holding ths meeting at
Sioux Falls is that the city is too far
away from South Dakota points wher.
the chicken industry is the greatest.
It is well located for Iowa and Mime
sofa fanciers but does not offer the same
advantages for state show as does

cheer that "Co. D WAS all right" And
the Co. boys are also all right.
The D boys were pretty we'll tired out
from the encampment aud while they
all reported most excellent time they
were glad TO get home again. The
boys say that the Huron people treated
them royalty and had no complaint on
that score. Captain Coursey spoke in
high terms of the conduct of his soldier
boys and that they acted like gentlemen
from the START 10 the fnish. The COM

GUS COBLEN's ESCAPE.

Kid Broad, the clever Cleveland featherweight, who is in line for the championship, saved the life of Gus C. Coblens of Baltimore and well known in Waterbury, at Bridgeport on Thurs day afternoon. Broad had to knock his man out to do so, however. A number of sports visited Broad, who was train- ing for his fight with Billy Gardner of Lowell at Captain John Floods re- sort near the junction of the Housaton- ic river and Long Island sound One of the party was Coblens and when a dip in the surf was suggested he was the first in the water. About 100 yards from the dock Coblens threw up his hands suddenly and yelled: "I'm sink ing; save mew His companions laugh ed and thought he was joking. Broad, however, saw that Coblens was in a bad way. The Kid is powerful swim mer and quickly reached, Coblens. The latter grabbed Broad around the neck. After trying to disentangle himself the Kid raised his right arm out of the water and brought down his fist on the point of Coblens's chin, knocking him out. Broad then lowed his man to the short without difficulty. Coblens re- covered in an hour. In the struggle between the two men in the water Broad tried to break Coblens's hold by forcing his hand to his face, and in doing this he pulled part of one side of Coblens's moustache out. The New Yorker had the remainder of it shaved off,

MORE FIGHT TALK.

Gus Ruhlin, the "Akron Giant" with his manager, Billy Madden and spar ring partner "Denver Ed" Martin, left San Francisco yesterday. Ruhlin is go- ing to the Pacific coast. chiefly to ascer- tain something as to Champion Jim Jef- fries's intentions regarding a match. The party will not go direct to Frisco. According to the present plan, Ruhlin will make several stop-overs. He has arranged to umpire a game of baseball at Duluth. At Helena he will give q boxing exhibition with Martin. Just before he left town, Madden received despatch from the manager of Fred Russell, the Western heavyweight, who was defeated by Tom Sharkey a few months ago at Denver. Russell. wish es to fight Gus at Denver, where, he says, he can secure a good purse for a ten-round bout. It is not likely that this mill will bG made, as Ruhlin says he cannot afford to take chances of breaking his hands. He adds, however, that if there is no chance of tackling Jeffries just yet, he will gladly take Russell or any of the other heavy weights on According to despatch from Los Angeles, Jeffries has return ed from his trip to Catalina the island resort in the Pacific. where he has spent the past six weeks hunting goats and catching tuna. In a recent inter view Jeffries says: s'I have made ar engagements for a trip to Frisco, thence Cincinnati. I may visit New York, but but it is not certain. Since I signed with Fitzsimmons with my eyes shut and gave him the better of it in the way of financial returns, I am looking out for my own end and nv it's my time to do some dictating. All con cerned will have to wait until I am ready. Ruhlin is my man. but shall not bar those who have even honors
 As to my managers, that is one thing that doesn't give me any worry.
