TO IMPROVE RoAOBED
The Omaha Road Will Ballast Road
bed and Make Better Time
TO Sioux Falls.

The Omaha railroad will make
much better time between Mitchell
and Sioux Falls in the early spring.
On account Of the poor track between
these points 1t takes a little over
three hours to make the u miles. IN
conversation with Agent Wilt he
stated that the Omaha officials were
making preparations to do a great
deal OF work in surfacing the road
just as soon as work could be done in
the spring. The roadbed will be
graveled from Mitchell to Hartford,
to which point this work has been
done from Sioux Fails west. When
this work is completed the running
time of the morning and night pas.
sengeI trains will be reduced so that
only two hours will be consumed be-
tween Mitchell and Sioux Falls.
This will be a great improvement
and will be appreciated very much
by the citizens in the two Towns and
those along the route.
There is a report current in rail-
road circles that on Feb. LIST the
Chicago & Northwestern road Will
absorb the Omaha entirely and iu
will come directly under its manage
ment. Up to the present time the
Omaha. while working in harmony
with the Western, has been
operated as a separate road. aud with
officials of its own.

HAVE SELECTED DATES
Corn Palace Board Has Selected the
Dates for the Great Fall
Exhibition.

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the corn palace was held
Tuesday evening for the purpose OF
discussing the corn palace for next
fall. After the success of the exht-.
bition of last year there was no
doubt of holding another in 1904. At
this time the committee thought ii
a wise plan to select dates far enough
in advance so there would be no DOS
sibility Of conflicting with any other
attraction in the state, as was the
case with Aberdeen's street attrac-
tions last fall.
The committee selected the dates
OF Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. The palace will
open on Monday and close Saturday
night. Heretofore the palace has
been held ten days and extended over
Sunday, but this year the committee
decided to crowd the same amount OF
amusement into six days, believing
that the same success would come "a
the result Of the short session as
with the long one.
President Gale said that it would
be the effort Of the board to make
the corn palace this year the greatest
in the history of corn palaces in the
state and that NO time would be lost.

CRIMINALS TO PRISON

Bunch of Three to Sioux Falls
One a Murderer.

Sheriff Feeney and Deputy Moore,
of Stanley county, out west of Pierre,
arrived Elm Mitchell Saturday from
the north over the Milwaukee road
and transferred three prisoners, who
we're taken to Sioux Falls to serve
terms in the penitentiary. An Indian
and a white man were sent up for
cattle rustling and the other was
kunnecke, who was convicted of
murder at Fort Pierre. Judge Gaffey
sentenced him for life. His appear
ance indicated that he was a pretty
tough customer, and the Pierre pap
ers state that he is one Of the most
hardened criminals in the northwest.
He committed a brutal murder in the
killing OF his hired man without just
cause.
Sheriff Feeney truned over to Dep
uty Koch a half breed Indian, Lewis
Bowker by name, who was sentenced
to one year in the reform school.
Young Bowker is a partner OF the
two other cattle thieves. They de-
faced, changed and obliterated the
brands or cattle and then run them
off to sell the animals. Young Bow
ker confided to the deputy sheriff
bere that be and his partners did a
big business. He said when the Judge
gave him a year in the reform school
he was much surprised, as he fully
expected to get about five years.
Sheriff Feeney will return to Mitch
ell Monday and take Bowker to the
reform school.

THIRTY YEARS in WASHINGTON.

This magnificently Illustrated vol
ume is published with the consent al d
aid of the United States Government,
and this fact alone is evidence of it's
sterling merit and of the great care
that has been bestowed upon it.
It is said that all roads lead to
Washington just as they did to ancient
Rome. Certain it is that the eyes of
millions who cannot behold the mar
vels and glories of our national capital
in person are constantly turned
towards it.
The books complete panorama Of
the countless interests Of the national
capital as seer by famous woman
who, as the wife of an influential SEN
ator, society leader, and the close
friend of every mistress of the White
House from Lincoln to the present
time, has been in close touch with the
inner life Of Washington, and enjoyed
rare privileges for studying the
mighty activities of the government
such as no other person has ever be-
fore been able to command.
Many distinguished men and women
have long urged Mrs. Logan to give
this volume to the world She has re-
ceived letters from thousands IN
known to her, expressing the hope
! that it would be written. In her pref
ace she says:
"My first introduction to life in the
city of Washington was in 1858, GEN
eral Logan being then a member of
congress, and for more than thirty
years 1 have lived there almost con-
| tinuously, an interested observer of
passing events. AS the wife of a SEN
ator, I may say that enjoyed unusual
privileges and opportunities to see
and know the inner life and activities
Of the capital city. 1 have had my
share Of the favor of the powers that
we're, and the honor of being included
] among the distinguished guests at
both private and official entertain
ments; and have known the pleas
Z
ure of personal acquaintance with
prominent statesmen, courtly diplo-
mats, and beautiful, winning, and
gifted women, filling with grace and
dignity the highest social positions
that the people could bestow.
sit has been my aim to show nv
readers, both by word and pictorial
art, the wonders and the workings of
the elaborate machinery in motion,
by leading them through the great
departments and explaining what the
army of busy men and women work
ers do and how they do it; to show
them the works of art, the wonderful
collections of relics and cu1iosities
from every part of the world, and the
architectural glories and priceless
treasures of the capital; to describe
and explain its giant activities; to
take them through the White House
from the attic to the cellar, through
every forbidden room, and to portray
not only it's daily life, past and pres
ent, but its brilliant social and official
functions as we'll; to tell the story of
every president, and of every woman
who has ever reigned in the White
House; to visit the Treasury, the Dead
Letter office, and to solve the marvels
and mysteries of every government
industry; in short to present every in
teresting phase of life and scenes in
Washington"
Its illustrations are triumph of
American art. 1t is worth the price
of the book just to look at these so

nENTIST, BARTON, VT. OF
~ Owens Block.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1904-09-26

In this mornings Democrat we find
two very interesting telegraphic items
which shows much cIeverness on the
part of the Associated Press. One is
that Judge Parker spent very quiet
Sunday in New York and that he
would not take a hand in settling who
should he the Democratic nominee
for governor of New York This is
quite interesting in view of the fact
that Wednesdays Herald published
an account of the convention proceed
ings and the name of the nominee. Mr..
Herick. In the course of a week our
esteemed co-temp will wake up to the
fact that Herrick is the nominee.
Another item which called for big
head lines in the morning sheet-the
death of Denver firemen by inhaling
nitric acid flames at a fire in the Den
yer Post Office. Readers of The Her
aid were furnish this news Wednes-
day-that four men were dead and in
yesterdays paper that another victim
had been added to the list But what
can one expect with both Carter and
Tulley out of the city?
