change that has taken place the An

of Mr.. shiplcy:
Sioux Falls is soon to lose n of

This refers to Harry Nj. Shipley who
is making arrangements to leave
Sioux Falls. Mr.. Shiplcv has dis

Walter j., and rumor has it that he
has purchased a half interest in tile
new hotel at Mitchell and will take
a part in the active arrangement of

which will be in a few days.
The above announcement will be
considerable OF a surprise to the
friends of Mr.. Shipley in Sioux
Falls 1t is generally known that
the Sllipley laundry has been doing
a Thriving business. 1t seems that
Mr.. Shipley for some time has had a
hankering after the hotel business
and the construction OF the new no.

tunity that he has been looking for.
He will be associated in the manage
ment OF the hotel with b. M. John

AFTER THE MILWAUKEE,
Effort Being Made to Correct the
Injustice of Refusing Traffic
Agreement.

The Mitchell capital committee
has taken up the matter of the fight
between the Milwaukee road and the
South Dakota Central railroad,
which has recently been built out of
Sioux Falls. The disturbance arose
over the Milwaukee declining to en-
ter into a traffic arrangement with
the new road to transport its cars of
grain and other produce to Mime
apolis and Duluth markets without
making it a burden upon the South
Dakota Central and practically put
ting it out of business, not to men
ton the injustice that is heaped up
on the farmers living along the line
Of new road, who are depending upon
the Central to make a shorter wagon
haul and a closer market for their
products. Hitherto the Milwaukee
has shown a fliendliness to the Gen.
trail by hauling all Of its equipment
to Sioux Falls and the decision to re-
fuse a traffic agreement is a proceed
ing that is a great injustice to the new
road. The refusal of the Milwaukee
to enter INTO such an agreement is
said to be in violation Of the state
railroad law. and the law ought to
be given an application in this case
in order that justice for the people
and the oWnerS of the road might he
obtained.
At a meeting Of the capital com
mittee last night a committee consist
ing of j. l.. Hannett, A.. B. Hager,
j. III. Scriven and w. d. Waterman
was appointed to 20 to Sioux Falls
and drive over the right Of way OF
the South Dakota Central railroad
and make a thorough Investigation
Of the situation. They will inter
view the farmers personally and as
certain from them just what the
conditions are. The committee will
also confer with the officials OF the
South Dakota Central railroad and
get their statement of the situation.
From Sioux Falls the committee will
go direct to Chicago and have a con-
ference with the Milwaukee officials
relative to the difficulty as 1T now
exists and they feel they will be able
to bring about a condition OF affairs
which will result in traffic arrange.
lnents being made between the roads
To leave things as they now are
will be an injury to the new road
and work a hi%gh-handed injustice on
the farmers and business men who
are more or less dependent on the
new road Tor the transportation OF
goods and products.
The committee left for Sioux Falls
this morning and when the members
return they feel confident that theil
mission will not have failed.

A distressing accident occurred at
the home of P. j. Callan. two miles
west of town, Wednesday evening at
5 O'Clock, i'm which his little son.
aged three years, was instantly
killed. The little fellow was playing
around the barn, where a cousin of
MIR. Callan's was loading a wagon
with oats to be hauled to market the
following morning. The lad climbed
on the wagon and when the horses
started up suddenly he fell unseen to
the ground and the req wheel Of the
wagon passed over his head, crushing
the skull just above the ears. The
man on the wagon heard a faint
groan and looking around his gaze
met a gruesome sight. He picked up
the lad and carried him 10 the house,
where he was met by the distracted
mother, who was overcome by the
awful sight. Death came instantly.
The father was at Loomis when the
accident happened and he was sent
for Immediately. Relatives in Iowa
were telegraphed to come to the
funeral, which we're held this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock at the Catholic
Church

Pocket Pieces.

Do you carry things in your pockets
or jewelry on you that have stories
about them? Tomorrow l expect to
be interviewed by a newspaper man
whom have never seen and my plan
is to talk about something l had in
my pockets to-day before l knew that
Mr.. Unknown was to ask me ques-
tions. You may be given the story
which he writes my remarks into.
But it may be woman with a pen
Gil.
Since last August my lectures to
audiences of one for newspaper ar
ticles have pleased me. My plan is
to keep them going, cut them up and
pass them along to you.
In one case a reporter had a club
of subject of his own with which he
wanted to hit certain class of peo-
pie, but he wanted me to hold the
club and he got me to say something
on that subject. l can imagine that
some Of my acQuaintances have looked
little differently at me since that
interview came out. That reporter is
valuable help to me in my adyertis-
ing Of accuracy, but he made me
more cautious.
Do you blame me for the interview
department of my forethought pro-
motion? sit down an hour, more or
less, and have a pleasant visit with
bright-minded person on my favorite
subject-the daily sources of better
methods. That person devotes hours
to carefully and skillfully writing out
and framing my suggestions, then
places them before the eyes of thou
sands. Five years ago tried to do
something like this and failed. To-day
it is natural product.

You can have any material you
choose that is soft and iilmy. Then

The conventional orange blossom ms are

Profitable Precautions.

A few minutes a day of simple bod
lily exercises will enable us to per-
form unexpected tasks which other
wise might be dangerous If not fatal.
Any person at any time Is likely to
have to jump, lift. run. pull. push or
carry load or move lively to escape
a fall or some danger
You can remember events in your
own experience or your observations
which will illustrate the wisdom Of
always being ready to do something
extra difficult.
This wisdom for the physical is
true with the mental. A person who
made happy hit at an entertainment
when placed in difficult part of the
program was asked later how long
&c was preparing the idea he sprung
on the audience. and he replied about
two years. He did not know when he
would use it, but kept it growing as
mental stock ever ready. To-day he
would not use it or any idea like it.
because it was fun rather than
humor-it laughed at a person in
place of with a person-and it is bet
ter to lose hit than to run risk Of
making a hurt But when a person Is
willing to lose hit on that account
it will not be long before a better hit
will be created, as the heart helps
the head do it's best

We can resist de-
pressin6 sights and in
formation by means of
will power secured by
mental exercises.

A story an hour long has been told
1e this morning by business mana
ger, and when ! left him | felt like
taking months vacation to mourn
over the conditions in some depart
ments of the business world.
After l had walked hundred feet
my resolution was made to throw off
by will power the mental depression
and go to work on my days work
with a determination to promote In
telligent commerce as a remedy for
selfish chicanery.
A secretary of big organization
told me about the material in many
organizations for scandalous story
That was several years ago when the
dusty corners of a prominent mans
work were being cleaned with the
public as an audience. At about that
time another SECRETARY told me that
he was going to begin collecting and
studying desirable efforts, products
and plans. My thought was that
more good could be grown by holding
up the desirable than by exposing the
evil.
My belief is that the world is grow
ing better-not all the time in every
place. but as an average the whole
world over.
Some think with me and some think
the opposite. One man told me that
the most comforting idea in his mind
is that the world is better every day.
1t may be that prayer when sin
cere and aggressive is a source of
will power which improves the world
in general as well as the individual
who offers the prayer.
Were you ever depressed by q story
you read or which some one told
you? Do you think that we should let
the conditions of the report to enter
and remain in our mind? Can we
drive out the thoughts from our hend
the same as we would vermin-
loaded bat flying in our houses?
We are less able to help those who
need help if we are depressed because
depression weakens.
We are not able to do good work
anywhere If our minds are poisoned
with the fumes of the acids of evil
We can and we should train our
selves to resist those forces which
injure our individuality and cut down
our ability to comfort, encourage and
wisely direct.
