R RAILROAD TALK
Persistent Rum0r mat No' u"
Western Will Make Changes

Last winter the AMERICAN puoilsheu
an account of the efforts made oy Che
North Western railroad to get their
donot closer to the business section OF
the city. The account, which appear,
cd exclusively in this paper, stated
that the company's efforts were
frustrated by the Milwaukee and that
tho n,ans we're abandoned for the
time being, at least. Practically all
the talk since then of what the com
nanv intends to do has arisen from
that article.
II has been known to this paper for
some time that the North Western had
bv no means given up the fight to get
into closer connection with the city
bnt it was deemed inadvisable to eX-
ploit the matter to any great extent
until the company itself gave out the
information.
AS a matter of fact no one knows
what the management of the North
Western really plans on doing though
the fact they have been looking into
certain property lend color to the ru-
NOR that they have decided on a plan
if it can be carried through. Should
it succeed it would mean a new depot
somewhere in the vicinity of the court

COMMERCIAL HOUSE BURNED
Fire Monday Morning Proves
Hard to Put Out

About half past nine Monday morn
ing a fire alarm was turned in from
the Commercial hotel, of which Andy
Larson is proprietor, and when the
lire department arrived they found
smoke pouring out of all openings and
cracks in the old or frame part of the
building. The fire was found to be in
the basement and had evidently
caught from the furnace though in
just what manner is not known. A
stream Of water was turned into the
basement at once and in a short time
it was thought that the fire was out.
The way in which smoke was putting
out ofthe roof in several places was
alarming, though, and an investigation
showed that the fire had worked up
between the joists in the center of the
house and was blazing merrily. An
explosion, due probably to a sudden
blaze a the roof, fairly lifted the
roof off the frame of the building.
Once the blaze was fairly located the
lire boys made short work of it and
soon had it under control. The fire
was still smouldering at noon.
The interior of the hotel was pretty
badly damaged. The bedding and
furniture in many of the rooms was
either damaged or almost entirely de.
stroyed and many of the roomers and
guests lost or suffered considerable
damage to their personal belongings.
~ damage to the building will run
into quite a little money.

FOR The IX|NE PLANT
Good Farmers of the County
Unanimous For the EX-
pertinent
Better Cheaper Trust Irvine
Than Sweater made
Shirts

The article in the issue of this paper
for last week on the Irvine plant pro-
position and the opinions expressed by
a number of business men of this city
have attracted considerable attention
throughout the state. A number of
representative farmers have expressed
themselves on the matter and the
opinions of some of them are given be-
low:
JOHN DIcKERsoN, Putney: A Irvine
plant is away ahead of a shirt factory.
Look at the farmers of Minnesota, l
know they get Irvine a good deal cheap
or than we do. No investor in this
state is hurt by our engaging in the
manufacture of Irvine.
JOHN HELMKA, Bath: Nothing the
legislature can do for the farmer in
South Dakota would help him more
than the establishment of a Irvine
plant at the p~enitentiary. I was sur
prised when I read in the st. Paul
Globe how much had been saved to
the farmers in Minnesota and how
much the state realized in profits on
their plant at Saltwater.
F. N. LEWIS, Columbia: In regard
to the Irvine plant question, l am
heartily in favor of it and think it by
far the best thing for the state peni-
Tertiary. 1t seems as if that institu-
ton ought to be self-supporting, as
nearly as possible, and l think a large
majority of tax payers favor the Irvine
plant proposition.
l.. H~UNsBERGER, Columbia: I can't
conceive of any sound argument
against it Irvine ssplant.) 1t will be
clearly self sustaining. 1t solves the
problem of convict labor and an
tagonizes no other a the Irvine
trust.
II. c. BRADFORD, Warner: l am not
in favor of a shirt factory. A Irvine
plant would be the thing if it could be
made a success. The only question is
in the raw material. IF we could Sc
cure the raw material as cheap as the
big Irvine company, it would be all
right.

Special Correspondence From Pierre

Do. cpCCldl oI1SSpOAuSASS
While in session yesterday the SEN
ate passed senate bills to authorize
counties to fund outstanding indebted
ness by issuing of bonds, and to ap-
propriate s1,O41 deficiency for the state
board of agriculture. The house bill
to fix the limit of term of officers of
county mutual insurance companies,
and a resolution for a constitutional
amendment, allowing the legislature
to fix qualifications of county superin-
tendent of schools also were passed.
The principal new senate bills pre-
sented we're: By Neil, to fix the
chicken hunting season at two months
in the year and the duck shooting sea-
son at five months; by Branson, in
~creasing the salary of the public ex-
aminer to s1,8OO a year; by Cooper,
authorizing the employment of assist
ant states attorneys, and by Haywood
reducing the fees for oil inspection.
PIT BILL BACK.
The house was crowded to hear the
discussion on the capital building bill,
which soon resolved itself into a run
ming fire of questions, most of which
we're directed at Sutherland, the intro
Queer of the measure, who outlined the
bill and it's possible effect, and was as
sisted by several other members. The
discussion was entered by Representa-
tives Scott, Browne, of Brown, Heball,
Clark, DAILY, Brown of Sanborn, Horn
by, Van Osdell, Countryman and Hol-
man. The committee of the whole,
which was presided over by Carroll,
finally dissolved and reported the bill
back to the committees for further
consideration. The discussion devel-
oped that the general opinion was in
favor OF a building of some kind, if it
could be shown that it could be made
the part of a future completed capitol,
and that the funds could be secured
without direct taxation.
A few new bills we're presented in
the house, the principal one being:
By Horribly, requiring deposits with
the state treasury of guaranty funds
by hail insurance companies operating
in this state, and by Brown Of Sanborn,
requiring full warranty deeds to any
tract before the state can appropriate
money for buildings on the land.
SPECIAL ORDER EoR HOME BILL
The soldiers home bill, which has
been meeting with so many obstacles,
was called out and was set for consid-
Grafton IN Feb. 9, but not until Van
Osdel had expressed his views on the
measure, in which he attempted to Sc
cure indefinite postponement of
further consideration Of the bill, and
gave as his reasons that it took pen
sion money from the old soldiers.
Brown of Sanborn defended the bill
and declared that Van Osdel had mis-
represented conditions as desired by
the soldiers and conditions which ex-
list at the home. Clark defended the
measure and secured it as a special or
der.

FAT As INSANITY ANTIDOTE
Opinion of Medical Journal Has
Aroused EngIishmen.


Are the majority of folk Of weak
intellect? Is insanity on the increase?
Are we all preparing ourselves for
lunatic asylums? These startling ques-
tons have occurred to me after read
ing an article in a medical journal
on the gospel of fat as applied to the
treatment of mental disease 1t
seems that the more you fatten up
the mentally afflicted the saner they
become; but, of course, the dlfhculty
lies in providing the lunatic with
adipose tissue, as there is nothing like
brain disease to cause too, too soild
flesh to melt.
The aim of most of us nowadays is
to keep down what our transatlantic
friends. with their genius for using
the ugliest word for everything, I'M
compromisingly call flesh We battle,
we massage, we diet, we fly to these
and those waters, we try all manner
of cures, and put ourselves into vari-
Gus kinds of straps and pastes, ana
take violent exercise with the aim of
fining ourselves down and keeping
StOutneSS at bay.
Does this decided disposition on
the part of men and women to avoid
corpulence, and the successful thin
ming down that we notice on all
sides, portend increase of lunacy? II
so. dieting and the taking of waters
and massage ought to be forbidden
by act of Parliament. By the way,
Hamlet was fat and scant of breath,
but he was certainly far from sane
