Quotations Appropriate for the New
Home.

oOu0s
In the old-time manor house 1t was
the fashion to inscribe q motto over
the fireplace, especially in the great
,dining-room and library. The inscrip-
ton was usually in Latin, the Ian
guage Of the scholar. This custom is
now being revived, and there is scarce
ly a room in which a sentiment pref
tily expressed would not be welcome
addition, and which would at once at
tract the attention of a guest as being
something unique. Here are q few
good sentiments; the lettering may be
done in script or Old English:
For the hall:
EAST or west, home is best"
"A mans home is his CASTLE"
"Home is the resort of love, of Joy,
of peace"
"Our house is ever at your service"
Over the fireplace in Mark Twain's
house In Connecticut Is this beautiful
inscriptions: 4.
"The ornament of a house is the
guests who frequent it"
The three following inscriptions are
especially appropriate for the family
living-room:
"Oh, We fire and heat, bless ye the
Lord"
God has given us this ease" or
~Seek thine own ease."
mo place is more delightful than
ones own flreside"
For the library:
"Old wood to burn,
Old friends to trust,
Old authors to read"
"There is an art of reading"
THE monuments Of vanished
minds"
Infinite riches in a little ROOM"
For the nursery:
God rest We, little children"
"A child in the house is we'll
spring of pleasure"
For the music room:
1.-THE hidden soul of harmony"
Music, the speech Of the angels"

SEEKS OUTLET OF SOUTH.
Canadian Pacific and 500 Said to Back
SURVEY Near Aberdeen.


The latest revelation in railroad cir
cles indicate that the movements of
the surveyors who have been working
in the vicinity of Aberdeen are direct
ed by the Canadian Pacific-Soo roads.
1t is asserted that in the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road the Canadian Pacific
and 500 have found an outlet to St.
Louis and the South, which can be OBJ
tanned by securing control of the for.
mer road.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis has a
South Dakota branch running into Wa
tertown, and the 500 for number OF
years has owned right Of way from
it's North Dakota line through McPher-
son county to Leola, the county seat,
and extending to Aberdeen. 1t is be-
lieved to be the intention of the 500,
through the Minneapolis & st. Louis
road to build the link which will unite
the WATERFOWL branch with the 500
line in North Dakota. The proposed
line would prove profitable, as it would
run through an exceedingly rich and
prosperous section of the country. 1t
is known that Minneapolis & st. Louis
officers have sought to secure options
on land for townsite purposes in Nc
Pherson county, northwest of Aber-
deem.

How Mosby Bore the Banner.

Col. John S. Mosby, the famous South

Virginia. knowing that love for the

fingered in the hearts of his audience

IN various directions through the ce-
ded lands. Settlement has extended
to distance of more than one hun
dred miles west of the Missouri river,
and throughout that entire region the
greatest activity prevails.
Everybody is rushed to their ut
most in getting settled in the new
country. Passenger trains reaching
Chamberlain, for years the western
terminus of the Chicago. Milwaukee
& st. Paul railroad, are daily crowded
to their utmost capacity with eager
land seekers, whose ardor cannot be
cooled even by cold and rainy wealth
er.
They are all intent upon securing
homesteads, or erecting buildings on
homesteads already secured, and they
pay not the slightest attention to
weather conditions, which fortunate
ly, have been favorable for the great
er part of the time this fall.
Without doubt the rush into the
coded lands is the greatest thing Of
the kind in the history of South Da'
kota. The so-called Bonesteeel "rush"
does not compare with it, being small
er in magnitude and not continuing
so long. The remarkable feature of it
is that little has been said in the
newspapers.
Did the same conditions prevail in
Kansas or Oklahoma, the rush would
be the theme of numberleSs special
Illustrated articles in the newspapers
and in the illustrated publications.
That more has not been written OF
it doubtless is due to the fact that
the newspaper correspondents in that
part of the state, like other people,
have been too busy with their person
al business affairs to devote any OF
their time to writing newspaper ar
ticles.
The extension of the new railroad
has now been completed beyond the
new town of Reliance, from which
sixty or seventy carloads of cattle
were shipped to the Eastern markets
Immediately upon the railroad be-
ing completed to that place.
1t is expected the railroad will be
completed to the town of Presho with
in the next few days. The railroad
company has entered into contract
for the handling of ;.bout three hun
dred carloads of cattle as soon as the
railroad is completed to Presho, and
because of this, and the approach OF
cold weather, the tracklaying is pro-
ceeding with all possible speed.
The grading for the new road has
been finished to point near White
Clay buttes, about sixty miles west
of Chamberlain. The graders her
aided their arrival at that point by
a conflagration. Through the careless
ness of some member of the grading
gang, prairie fire was started and
the high winds which prevailed at
the time carried it rapidly north
ward.
For a period of four hours the fire
burned fiercely, and at times seemed
to be beyond control and baffled the
efforts of fifty men who were detailed
to fight it, The fire swept wide ex-
tent of country and did considerable
damage.
1t is possible the track-laying may
not extend west of Presho this fall.
At Presho the company intends put
ting in extensive stockyards and side
track facinties, which may delay the
work of track-laying.
In the meantime sleeping and eat
ing accommodations at Chamberlain,
Oacoma and the smaller towns west
of the river, as has been the case
since last spring, continue to be at
premium.

ACTS ON LOST INDICTMENTS.

In an opinion by Justice Haney, the
supreme court handed down a decision
in the Kelly Indictment cases from
Beadle county. A mandamus order is
granted, ordering the circuit court Of
the Ninth circuit to have copies of the
missing indictments prepared, and to
proceed to trial on the copies as il
they were the original indictments.
The Beadle county grand jury re-
turned several indictments against c..
A. Kelly, charging forgery and other
offenses, and when the time for trial
came it was learned that the indict-
ments had been taken from the rec
ords of the clerk of courts and the cir
cult court refused to act on copies.
The supreme court was asked to force
action and has complied.
