FIT. PIERRE SEES THE LOCOMO.
TIVE

To be exact to the hour and
minute, the first engine of the
North Western Railway reached
the opposite bank Of the river on
the new temporary bridge, at a
point on Marion's island, at 9:45
am. Wednesday, Dec. 10, 1905.
This fact is of no small historical
Importance, as it marks an era in
railroad development in this state
which will continue until the
North Western has spanned the
western half of South Dakote and
continued on to the coast with its
transcontinental line.
Wednesday morning the tempo
rary bridge to Marion's island had
completed over the main channel
of the river and an engine was
sent across to test the structure,
which stood in good shape. Work
is now being pushed in forward
ing construction material to the
island, the grading across the
island is being rushed. the piline
over the slough south of the island
opposite Fort Pierre is nearly all
in, and the stringers, ties and
rails are being placed, and in a
few more days the first wheels OF
a train will he turning on the
bottoms above Fort Pierre. In a
short time also aidetrscks will be

The next Teachers Meeting.
which should meet on Dec. 30.
will be postponed to meet one
month later, Jan. 80, when the
same program assigned for the
Dec. meeting will be under consid-
Grafton.
This postponement occurs on
account of the S. d. E. A. which
meets at Brookings Dec. 81.
| hope every one of the Potter
County teachers will make an
earnest effort to attend this meet
ing.
Besides the benefits to be de-
rived from an excellent PROGRAM,
we will here have an opportunity
10 come in touch with the Agricul-
tural Movement of the state a
subject in which we must soon. if
not already become interested in.
One of the schools of our county
has already taken up the work in
Agriculture and is becoming very

STRIPED MEADOW CRICKET.
Male Has an Allurement for Female
Which Il Far Ahead Of Many
Human Attractions.

In the American Naturalist j.
L. Hancock gives an interesting
description of some of the habits
of the striped meadow cricket.
The most striking part Of the ac-
count deals with the allurements
which the male cricket possesses.
When he wishes to attract the fe-
male the male cricket raises his
fore wings vertically above his
head, and by rubbing them over
one another produces a high
pitched singing, or perhaps bet
ter. shrilling. When the females
attention has been attracted she
goes to the male and proceeds to
take advantage of the refresh
ments offered. Upon the males
back, situated we'll forward on the
thorax, is a little depression or
we'll is which a small quantity Of
semi-huid material is secreted.
Climbing up on the males back,
the female eats this apparently de-
licious morsel with great eager.
ness; it Is evidently something es.
pecially choice, which is formed
there for her especial benefit. The
proceeding suggests that treating
as a means Of winning i lads love
is not confined to the allurementl
of ice.cream and soda water.

day morning. About ) O'Clock a
small blaze was discovered over the

guish the flames with portable
chemical fire extinguisher. This
failed. and the flames had gained
such headway before the arrival Of
the fire department that the kitchen
was a seething furnace before the
fire boys got to work. Two streams.
one from the front and one from the
rear. were soon turned on. and in a
very short time the fire was under
control. The fire department Is re-
ceiving many compliments for the
efficient service rendered by them.

Republicans Advocated Miscegenation.

In the Legislature OF 1898, Senator Putzel'
one of the leaders of the Republican party,
attempted TO pass two bills repeating Sec
lion 1874 and 218 Of the Public General
Laws, which II they had become operative,
would have legalized the marriage OF whites
and negroes. Such a violent protest was
raised all over the State thatsthe Republi-
cans undertook 10 disclaim the authorship,
and Senator Putzel himself said that he had
only been requested to introduce IL. That
fact of itself was enough 10 bring down upon
him and his party the condemnation OF all
who bitterly antagonize any attempt to
eoualize the color line or to make Of the
negro any more than God made him-s
bewer of wood and a drawer Of water, to
he the servant OF the white man and not his
eoual at the ballot box or In social or

the same purpose as the one above referred
TO. Could you stand such humiliation,
