Russell's Railway Guide for Decem-
Der contains very fine half tone cut
of "Jake" Gable and gives the follow
ing mention OF that popular Egentle-
man:
"The Guide, this month, presents in
its constantly enlarging gallery of we'll
known railway passenger men the por-
trait of a veteran who is known in
almost every locality in the middle
west-Mr. j. III. Gable, travelling pass
enger agent of the Fremont. Elkhorn
y Missouri Valley road. with head
quarters at Denison. Jake Gable
probably enjoys a larger personal ac-
quaintance west of the Missouri river
than any other passenger man, and
possibly larger than any other rail
road representative.
MIR. Gable was born in 1854 in Perry
county, Pa. He commenced railroad
ing at Odebolt, Iowa, as telegraph op-
orator for the Northwestern in May
1000, d10 III DeCcnOet. 1901, UOOk
charge of the station at Irwin, Iowa,
being transferred to Denison in 1854.
In July, 1883. Mr. Gable went on the
road as travelling passenger agent of
the +. ID. & M. ". "a Northwestern
line), and while he has performed all
of the multiplicity of duties which fall
to the lot of AN official in his position
he has without question done as 'much
to advance the interests of the Black
Hills, as any other living man. He has
been particular friend of Hot
Springs, the "Carlsbad of ssAmerica, -
and each season sends hundreds upon
hundreds of people to that resort from
all sections of! the country. It has
been Mr.. Cables ironclad ::rule never
to exaggerate the advantages of the
great northwest country which the
"Elkhorn" reaches,and the scores of
personally conducted" parties that he
has taken to the Black Hills have
unanimously voted him a delightful
"chaperone", truthful guide and a
most careful and painstaking rep
resentative of the great railway he has
served so long,"

Had Leg Crushed and Broken

On New Years day o ID. Savits went
out to his timber north of town after 2
load of logs and while coming down
steep and slippery hill the team be
came unmanageable and ran. They
crashed into u tree. throwing Mr..
Savits under the load i'm such manner
that his leg was run over. The flesh
was badly torn aud the bone slivered
up frightfully. 1t was over an hour
before he was found. and had the day
not been warm he would certainly
have died from exposure. He was
taken to the home of A. NJ Rowud and
DIR. Hargens sent for. He found that
besides the flesh being badly torn the
bone of the leg was fearfully shattered
ALL l.reken in two places below the
knee. MIR: .saviNs was brought to his
home next day. and is getting along as
we'll as could be expected.

Off For Washington.

Congressman Martin spent Sunday
and Monday in town, leaving Monday
evening to take up his duties in con-
gress. Mrs. Martin joined him at
Buffalo Gap and will remain with him
at Washington during the session.
Mr.. Martin was exceedingly busy
while here looking after his personal
business affairs and those brought
upon him in connection with the
National Sanitarium, together with
numerous other matters that various
constituents usually have to consult
their congressman about. He had a
conference with the local Sanitarium
committee over the site question and
other features Of the measure and ex-
pressed great satisfaction with the
manner in which it had been handled
by the townspeople. He believes that
the entire appropriation at this session
is likely to reach half million dollars,
which will complete the plans made by
the Board of Managers in fine shape.
MIR. Martin continues to enthuse over
the proposition and feels that it is
going to do wonderful things for Hot
| Springs-for the fact of its being es
tablished here as sanitarium places
the stamp of government approval
upon the town as a health resort as
we'll as upon the medicinal properties
of the waters. This together with the
direct financial benefits of having such
an institution, with probably one
thousand members, and its officers.
will add materially to the welfare of
the town. Mr.. Martin says the Board
of Managers is now quite enthusiastic
in favoring the Sanitarium and pro-
curing sufficient appropriation to
make it one of the finest Homes in the
country. Congressman Cannon is
also now friendly to the institution,
and being chairman of the appropria-
tion committee and the coming speak
er of the House his support is valua BILE.
Hot Springs people are beginning to
fully realized what it has been. and is
now, to them to have man like Con.
gresham Martin on duty at Washing
| ton.

swinburne'. Estimate of King Lear

Swinburne's Estimate of King Lear.
eff nothing were left of Shakespeare
but the single tragedy of king Lear"
wrote Algernon Charles Swinburne in
Harper's, "it would still be as plain as
it is now that he was the greatest man
that ever lived. As poet the author OF
this play can only be compared with
AIschylus. The Hebrew prophets and
the creator of job are sometimes as
sublime in Imagination and in passion,
but always quite incomparably inferior
in imaginative intelligence.
"That Shakespeare's judgment was
as great and almost as wonderful as
his genius has been a commonplace of
criticism ever since the days of Cole
ridge, questionable only by such dirty
and dwarfish creatures of simian INTEL
lect and facetious idiocy as mistake it
for a sign of wit instead of dullness
and of distinction instead of degreda-
tion to deny the sun in heaven and af-
firm the fragrance of a sewer"

ENHOUTE TO PIERRE.
One of the Strongest Black Hills Dclega-
CATIONS at SiouN City.


The members of the state legislature
from the Black Hills stopped over
night at Sioux City last Friday. The
Tribune had the following concerning
them and the work before them:
"Plainly, capital relocation is the
burning issue. Nothing else is talked
or thought about. The Hills people
haze in other years been rated as
Pierre supporters. The Hills helped
locate the capitol at Pierre back in
1889, hoping it would secure an extern
sion of the Northwestern road across
the Missouri. Thirteen years have not

McLamore was inlorsed. Remer would

Sturgis, was indorsed for sergeant-at

'The capital question was not dis
