SIOUX FALLS INDIGNANT
Gives Reasons Why Milwaukee Road
Should Extend Its Passenger
Service to Mitchell

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: Much
indignation is expressed among the
business men of Sioux Fails at the
failure Of the Milwaukee road to re-
deem its promises by putting on an
afternoon train from this city to
Mitchell and a morning train from
Mitchell here.
A new time card from Sioux City
to Mitchell went into effect yesler-
day. Under this time card the af-
ternoon passenger leaving Sioux City
at 5 O'Clock runs through to Mitchell
each day and the morning train
down the line starts from Mitchell
and reaches Yankton at S a. ~. The
people of this city do not object to
this increased service for the towns
1T tenefits. we rejoice in their good
luck and congratulate them OF Sc
curing at last an improvement which
they have long needed. But the otti.
cials of the Milwaukee had promised
that when this new tram went on
from Sioux City another passenger
service would he put on between
Canton and Mitchell, connecting
with Sioux Falls. This promise has
not been redeemed and our people do
not like it.
The traffic along the line between
Sioux Falls and Canton and Mitchell
is today heavier than on the other
line, and there is every reason to te-
lieve the new traffic developed would
be much larger. On the line OF the
new train actually put in are Mitch

REMAINS LAID TO RESI-
Funeral Services Over the Remains
of Walter Rowley Conducted
at the Baptist Church.

A large numler Of friends and rel
atives assembled at the Baptist church
last Friday afternoon at 2 O'Clock to
attend the funeral services over the
remains of the late Walter L. Row
ley. The a. o. U. w. escorted the
remains from the residence to the
church. The services were conduct
ed by Rev. L. j. Giblett, pastor of
the church, and his remarks were OF
a character that brought comfort to
the hearts that NOUN. The casket
was covered with flowers and an
emblem sent by the A. O. U. w.
The music was furnished by the
Baptist choir, composed of Mr.. and
Mrs. Giblett, Mr.. and Mrs. Eddy,
and Mrs. c. w. ellis, with Mrs. G.
9. Halphide at the organ. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Graceland
cemetery, the following acting as
bodybearers: o. A. Bates, W. A.
Barber, Dee Brooks, Roy Bates, A.
b. Nickel, o. L. Litchtield.
At the cemetery the Workmen
gave the last sad rites of the order.
Walter L. Crowley, second son of
Mr.. and..Mrs. f. Il. Rowley, was
born Aug. 2, 1875, at Goodland, Ind,
and died at his residence in this
city, on Hanson street, Wednesday.
May IS, aged 2s years, and nine
months. Mr.. Rowley in mis- earlier
years moved to Marshall, Mimi.
where he resided eight years, moving
from there to Mitchell in 1892. IN
til eighteen months ago he had re-
sided on a farm 10 miles northeast
CT town. The last eighteen months
OF his life has been spent in Mitch
ell, twelve of which he has been con-
fined tt his bed. Mr.. Rowlcy was
married to Miss Jessie Pringle, OF
this city, on May 30, 1899, there be-
ing no children born to tne union.
For some time past Mr.. Rowley has
belonged to the Bethel Congregations
al church in the country north Of the
city, and was a mar who adorned
the doctrine Of Christ by a quiet and
gentle spirit. His character can
best be summed up in the one word
patience. Not a murmer of COM
plant was yer heard to pass his lips
during his long and tedious illness,
and his death brings the first break
in the family tie. He leaves a faith
full and devoted wife, a loving family
circle of father and mother and
three brothers, a number of relatives
and a host Of friends to molrn his
untimely death. All of these have
the heartfelt sympathy of the people
OF the city and community in which
the deceased has made his home. He
was a member of the Ancient Order
United Workmen and by it's members
was regarded as one of its %staunclest
Supporters.

they promise to be even bebtter than be-

and they will be larger and better in
every way. Mr. Parker has written to
Mr.. Irwin to come to Abilene to inspect
the different amusements personally and
make selections for the festival
The association here has been COM
PEELED to secure additional ground on
which to place the tents. as the usual
amount of room used will not suffice for
this occasion.
Another pleasing feature of the festi-
val is that the attractions will all have
carved wood fronts, studded with incan-
descent lights. This will be a pleasant
departure from the regulations red and
black painted canvas. with occasional
streaks of yellow, that generally adorn
THE front of the tents.
There will be nothing lacking In the
way of music. Four bands will awake
The echoes and stir the hearts Of the
vast crowds with strains of melody from
early morn till close of day, and then
some.
There will be five free attractions, al
though the fact of their being free VIII
not detract from their merit.
The loop-the-loop ball, which was per-
formed last year by a man. will be gwen
by a woman this year. This is one OF the
hest performances of the festival.
In the matter of heavy shows, Mr..
Parker will furnish an extra large Wild

There will be two big carry-us-alls,
