THE RAILROAD.
Situation at Wentworth as View
ed by rladison Liti-
zen.

N. Sampson was visitor at Went
worth yesterday and incidentally learn
ed something of the South Dakota Cen
! tral railroad movements at that place
1t had been arranged to hold a railroad
meeting in Wentworth yesterday at
which Mr.. Sherman and other officers
of the company were expected to be
present, but A. E. Patterson, former
| ly of this city, was sent to represent
the company. Mr. Sampson was in
formed that the company required of
the town OF Wentworth in the way of
bonus, right ofway from the county
line south of Wentworth to the town,
distance of about ten miles, and
S15, 600 cash. This bonus is not yet
available and the Wentworth commit
tee having the matter in charge were
given IN additional ten days from this
date to raise it. The preliminary sur
vey from Cotton to Wentworth has not
been completed. the surveyors having
discontinued work after crossing the
south county line. The Wentworth
committee was disappointed on account
of the non arrival of Mr. Sherman there
yesterday, and also discouraged with
their work and the future outlook of
the enterprise so far as their town is
concerned Some of those who had
pledged money toward the building of
the road were inclined to Withdraw
their pledges.
ha Int taI fn Mp
Sampson that the Madison railroad
committee was working against them,
to prevent the buildinb of the road into
their town, but Mr.. Sampson assured
them that such was not the case. The
Madison committee has not by word or
act done anything in the matter. 1t is
understood in this city that the officials
of the road are negotiating with the
people of Wentworth and that on the
face of it Wentworth really has the pre-
ference at this time. There is no direct
communication between the Madison
committee and the railroad officials
and Madison is simply waiting to learn
what are the desires of the officials in
the case of Wentworth. The PROPOSE
tior made to Madison was to furnish
certain amount of right of-way and
terminal grounds in the city This
Madison is ready to supply, and here
the negotiations rest.
Mr. Sampson also learned in Went
worth that to extend the road north to
Prairie Queen. a certain amount of
money and right fway had been asked
from the farmers along the proposed
line and considerable money had ..been
pledged.
Madison wants the road to come here
when it is extended from Cotton. The
talk of Indifference on the part of the
business men of the city in regard to
the matter is not well founded. The
local committee is ready and anxious to
negotiate with the officials of the COM
pany anu arrive at final conclusion
whenever the opportunity is offered.
But at this time the couElittee is not
in communication with the officials of
the company.

The Chief Issue in the Municipal
Campaign-Features of
the Issue.

The municipal election, which takes
place i'll two weeks, is bringing before
the minds of the people of this city al
important guestion-the approval OF
disapproval of the open. public sale OF
Intoxicating liquors. People look al
this question from different viewpoints,
usually resting upon that feature of ii
which will most plausibly excuse their
tolerance of the evil. We say excuse.
for there are few so lost to knowledge
of its destroying and degrading infiu
ence as not to feel sense of shame in
endorsing the public saloon. Because
more plausible, these excuses for re-
proving conscience usually take an
economic turn, hardly ever moral
one. Either, "men will have liquor
anyway. then why not make something
out of it to pay for taking care of it
and its victimsS'' or. ''the city is in
need of improvements, why not tempt
the inebriate to pay our taxes9'' or,
"the vile stuff will be drank anyway,
why not restrict it by putting it under
the ban and restrictions of high IL
cense2" These. and similar, are the
reasons advanced by supporters of the
open saloon.
Now, let 1T be clearly understood
that it is not the liberty of the individ-
ual to drink what he pleases that is in
issne at the coming municipal election
The laws of South Dakota do not DENY
him that privilege. 1t is the right of
the open saloon to entice, to befuddle.
to rob, and to destroy the citizen that
is in isue in the present campaign
Those opposed to the open saloon
fight 1T. large majority of them, up-
on the moral ground that it is an evil !;
therefore wrong to sanction it under
any conditions. This is a mandate of
conscience which leaves no room for
argument. All who oppose the open
saloon for o her reasons have to he won
bv arguments more weighty than any
the advocates ot the open saloon can
present in its favor To these, in this
and subsequent issues in this column,

ENGLAND'S MOST DIS
ASTEROUS RETREAT.

With the widow C'f Col Robert
Waller. who has just died in Eng
land. there passes away the last
known survivor of great tragedy
The story of the memorable retreat
of the British army from Kabul i'll
1912 is one of the saddest in military
annals. 1t seems almost incredible
that a company of 10000 should in an
eight days march be reduced to 90
persons. and that out of the whole.
with the exception of women child
rem and few wounded officers who
were withdrawn from the army on
the third day only one man lived to
reach safety. Yet such are the facts
OF an instance of savage treachery
and brutality
It would be hard to tell just what
started the Afghan uprising; it prob
ably grew out Cf man causes, and
was a plot of long standing. The os-
tensible reason was the circulation
of a seditious letter. stating that the
native chiefs were to be seized by
the British and sent tc London.
A well-equipped division of about
$500 soldiers. of whom 600 were Eu-
ropeans, was stationed at Kabul.
These, with the camp followers. fern
ed a company of 10000. An Asiastic
mob of not more than 10000 men. to
tally undisciplined and destitute of
artillery forced surrender Akbar
Khan, the Afghan ruler, promised
the defeated safe conduct cut of the
country and provisions sufficient for
their march,
The English departed from the con-
tonments one dreary January day.
Deep snow covered the ground and
the cold was intense The women
and children were carried in doolees
or palanquins, or mounted camels.
The officers and soldiers were on foCt.
The army had no food. no fuel. no
tents to cover them. and they had
surrendered their arms. By the first
night the suffering was great. The
promised provisions never came. and
there was not even water to drink.
Many ate of the snow. but it only
served to increase their thirst.
The next day the march was resum
ed. and new horrors began. Ihe
army, was forced to enter Khurd
Kabul Pass, narrow way five miles
long, traversed by fierce torrent
This icy stream had to be crossed
2S times by the weary. fainting trav-
elers. But this was not the worst.
While the British were in the pass
the rebel native chiefs attacked them
and killer over three thousand.
From this time on the slaughter was
continuous.
Word was sent back to Akbar Khan,
entreating protection and food. he
sent no provisions. but he promised
to put the women. children ana om-
GERS into safety. Under escort that
norton of the company was carried
to fort where they received some
sort of care. Some Of the women
had not tasted food for nearly tour
days.
The rest of the army struggled en-
diving of hunger and Geld, and being
shot down like cattle. After some
days DR.. Brydone alone. of all the
force. reached a place of safety.
A little later the wives. children
and wounded. under Akbar's protect
ion. traversed the same read. Ihe
nath on both sides was bordered WIN
the dead, and as the poor women
nassed they recognized the faces OF
their families and friends.
This retreat from Kabul is the most
signal reverse British arms ever
suffered in Asia.
