LAD DIES FOR PET DOG.
Tries to Cross Track in Front Of Train
to Guard Animal.

While trying to rescue his pet dog
from an approaching train on the Oma-
ha railroad, the little two-year-old son
of Mrs. Fannie Boardman, who lives
three miles west of Sioux Falls, was
instantly killed.
A passenger train had just rounded
a curve when the engineer noticed the
little boy playing by the side of the
track. On the other side of the track
was the dog. When the train was al.
most opposite the boy and dog, the boy,
probably alarmed for the safety of the
animal. suddenly started across the
track as il to aid it in escaping from
the train. Instead of saving the dog,
the boy himself was struck by the
train and instantly killed.

No Ice at Pierre.

The Oldest river man has finally
given up his theory that because there
never has been spring when the up
river ice did not come down, it must
come to certainty this year. Re
ports from the upriver country over
a week ago indicated run of ice on
the way down stream, but it failed to
make a showing this far down the
river. 1t is claimed to be the first
time known when the ice from up the
river has melted and disappeared
without making showing at Pierre.

SEEDING IN FULL SWING.
Farmers Make Good Progress in Bee
die County, S. D.


Seeding in various parts of Beedle
county is in progress. many farmers
already having in a large portion of
their acreage to small grain. The
ground is moist and in good condition
An unusual amount of precaution is
being used in the selection of seed, and
only the very best to be had is used
There is an abundant supply. and as
to acreage, from what farmers say,
there will be an increase rather than
a decrease in this portion of the state.
Much macaroni wheat is being sown
and an increased acreage of this vari-
ETY. is assured. Rain over most of the
county Friday night was very beneti-
cial. The weather is favorable. and
with plenty of help the following week
will see seeding rapidly progressing
throughout this section of the state.

TO PENETRATE COAL FIELDS.
Missouri g. Northwestern to Extend
West Of Mystic.

Circulars have been received in
Rapid City from Cleveland, Ohio, con-
tanning maps Of the proposed Missouri
g, Northwestern railroad between that
city and Mystic. This map gives an
extension of this line from Mystic
westward into the coal fields. which is
a surprise to Rapid City people. The
circular states that the 100000
honds have been underwritten, which
will furnish sufficient money for the
thirty-six miles of road between RAPID
and Mystic, and also for the extension
into the Wyoming country.

BIG BOOM IMMINENT.
Raple City Road to Mystic to Make
Town Thrive

IOWu IuTINcs
1t is announced on reliable source
that the railroad which is being built
between this city and Mystic will be
extended from the latter place into the
coal fields of Wyoming. Circulars
have been received at Rapid City from
the general Office of the Missouri Riv-
er & Northwestern railway at Cleve-
land, Ohio. which inclose map of the
proposed road. This means for GER
tainty that the shelter in Rapid City
will be started later in the season, for
1T will bring in cheap coke and coal,
and will also make it possible to get
copper ore from the mines of Wyoming
for fluX. The road will have a haul OF
something like 500 tons of material
daily for the smelter, including the IT'S
tons of ore, which is the daily capac-
ity.
Recent investigations along the PRO
posed railroad by some Chicago min
ing experts have opened up some re-
markably rich deposits of Iron ore.
The tests made on the samples taken
from great many showed as high as
so per cent iron. These deposits are
gigantic, there being at one place in
reality a mountain 900 feet high al
most pure iron hemrite.
An Eastern man has been at Rapid
City for several days investigating the
amount of power that can be genera
ted from Rapid river. 1t is stated that
he is in close touch with some of the
Ma, e.
There is talk here of the building Of
large smelling plant at Silver City,
through which new road passes.

HIS TONGUE CUT OUT.
Smoker Undergoes Operation for a
Cancerous Growth.

New York, March LIB. S. Finch,
an official of a Brooklyn coal company,
has submitted to an operation for the
removal of his tongue. About two
thirds was cut away. yet with the re-
manning portion of the organ and the
muscles of his throat he will be able,
after a little practice, to speak intel
lightly. The operation is the second
of that nature performed here within
a few months.
Finch had been a heavy smoker for
years and complained six months ago
of an irritation near the base of his
tongue. A cancerous growth appear
ed and spread so rapidly that when the
operation was found necessary the
tongue had become affected from tip
to base. The glands of the mouth
were also congested, and it became
necessary to remove them
The tongue was first pressed to one
side in order that the surgeons could
get at the hngual arteries, seyering
and tying them, and thus checking the
flow of blood. The loss of blood was
about six ounces and the operation
lasted 50 minutes.
