REPORTS CONFIRMED.
Superintendent MCCARTHY Tells OF
Future Plans.

Inquiry of the officers of the
Dakota Central division Of the Chi.
caPo and Northwestern railway con-
firm the reports current relative to
the construction OF that company's
road from Pierre to the Black Hills.
1t has been known for some months
that such a step was contemplated,
but not until the organization and
incorporation day or two since Of
the Pierre, Rapid City and North
western Railroad company, was the
public inclined to have faith in the
proposed extention--a matter OF vital
Importance to q section of South
Dakota. The articles Of incorpora-
tion name o. H. Mccarthy, Of Huron
division superintendent Of the Chi.
cago and Northwestern; Robert W.
Stewart, also of Huron, solicitor for
the same company, among the in
corporators, and other incorporators
are officers of the Chicago and North
western company. 1t is the pur-
pose OF the new company to do all
preliminary work, then turn the
whole matter over to the North
western for completion. In answer
to query at Superintendent Nc
Carthy's Office at Huron, this state
ment was made:
"You may state with o fair degree
of certainty that within the year The
Chicago and Northwestern company
will have trains running across th'
Missouri river in South Dakota, ant
in another year stockmen living OF
the ranges can ship their stock di
rect to Chicago without having t.
drive long distances to either Pierr
or Belle Fourche. Work will b
begun in a short time IN the bridg
and will continue through the win
ter, and in the spring CONSTRUCTION
work on tho road itself vii! be co1
menced and pushed to rapid CON
pletiOp."

Feared by Mexioans.

Because of the many fatal acci-
dents that have occurred under
huge tree that grows in the Hacien-
dita ranch, in the Zamora district,
Michoacan, peasants of the regions
are growing more and more supersti-
tious and the begin to call 1t "or
Dol maldito" (cursed tree.)
The tree Is supposed to be over rs
years old. and Is said to have heen
planted by a man who, because Of
his numerous crimes and the forget
fulness of the divine law, was swal-
lowed up by the earth. That ioan,
according to tradition, was uu hom
bre muy malo. He never went to
mass, never confessed, did not have
the image Of a saint in his house,
did not carry a rosary around his
neck and never made the sign OF the
cross. There was not beggar in
the town who had ever received a
"tiaco chiquito" Gold coins eQuival

never gave anything tor the church
and never took of his hat when he
met "padrecito' on the street.

lions are coming In SO rapidly that
the superintendent has called Ia all
advertising matter relative to secur.
ing new cadets. says the Roswell Rec
ord. During the past few days sew.
eIal applications have been received
by wire. About IS per cent OF last
years cadets are expected to return
when one considers that twelve men
graduated, this Ii above the expecta-
tions Of most boarding schools.
II the institute had more extensive
quarters II would be very little trou.

While the charges for admission have
been advanced $50 for all new cadets
and IS for old cadets, the demand
for admission continues just as great
II not greater than heretofore. Some
applications have already been re
fused and from now on only a yer,
few will be accepted.
All Of the teachers are expected

LABOR DAY
DOINGS SPOILED
Heavy Rain Puts an End 10 the Parade
and Makes Program At oaIilnas
Park impossible.

There were many TO regret that
rain entirely ruined the Labor day
celebration yesterday. The unions
had made careful preparations for
the events Of the day, had engaged
music and speakers, had arranged for
a baseball match, for q parade and
other excercises. The parade started
but was dissolved In q relentless
d0wnpour Of rain.
All the morning the weather was
threatening, but soon after noon, It
cleared a little and preparations for
the parade were made. Soon after
1880 a start was made from the city
hall. First came James G, McNary,
marshal OF the day, followed by q car
Rage containing DR.. b. d. Black,
Hon. o. A. Larrazolo and DR.. c. G.
Gordon, speakers and judges. Then
marched the military. band, playing a
lively air. The mayor and members
Of the city council followed in a car.
rage. A sightworthy float filed with
carpenters busy with plane and ham.
mel was next. Thirty members OF
the carpenters and joiners' union fol.
lowed the float. The next In order
was the Las Vegas fire department
with Its hose cart and wagon. Three
hacks filed with members Of me Las
Vegas Typographical union were fol
owed by members OF the clerks
Union on foot. II. Martin, the painter,
had two floats, In the first OF which
children were engaged In illustrating
the art decorative. Then came the
r. Romero hose company, with its
wagon and a catchy float, showing
the rock breaking machine OF Wal.
lace 4 Davis.
BY the time the parade had passed
down Douglas to Railroad on to Lin
coin and up sixth to Douglas, and as
far az Cooley's stable, the rain was
coming down SO hard that everybody
broke for shelter, and the parade was
abandoned. It Is proposed to have
the ball game between the printers
and carpenters played of at Gallinas
park Sunday afternoon.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN

The city schools opened yesterday
for enrolment and the machinery Of
school work was put In motion for the
year without a hitch. The enrolment
the first day was 454. On account Of
the celebration Of Labor day this was
smaller than would otherwise have
been the case and many new names
will likely be added to the rolls to-
day. The high school, as was to have
been expected on account Of the add
ton OF the fourth year, enrolled more
pupils than ever before and unless all
signs fail is beginning a very sue.
