Elevatsd Road bang. in Air.

To relieve the c0ngested traffic
conditions in Berlin, Germany, it
is proposed TO erect a monOraiI
suspended electric railway, such
as has been for some time in sue
cessful operation between Eber-
fold and Bremen, Germany, writes
DIR. Alfred Gradenwitz in Tech
nical World Magazine. The pas
senger cars in this system hang
down from a single overhead rail
and have no support whatever I'M
derneath. Advantages of the
system are its perfect safety, the
fact that the superstructure is
comparatively simple and does
not shut out the light or air as
does an ordinary elevated struc-
ture, and the further fact that in
operation the monorail cars are
almost completely noiseless. 1t
seems probable that the monOrail
suspended system will be adopted
in the German capital.

CASE OF Mr.. BREARLY
Gam Valley Chief Makes a Personal
Statement as to the Cause of
His INSANITY,

There has been more or less discus
sion in the newspapers concerning
the confinement of w. Fl. Brearly,
of Buffalo county, In the insane asy-
lum at Yankton. 1t was cha rged
that he vas a little vigorous 10
the campaign last spring when he
shouted and worked for the nominal
tion of Mr.. Crawford. 1t was further
stated that the action W started by
the stalwart republicans, and again
it was stated that Mr.. Brearly was
placed in the asylum by designing
parties who wanted to make a for, :
closure on his property. That these
statements are incorrect is shown
by the Gam Valley Chief, the editor
OF which was IN insurgent republican
throughout the campaign, the fol-
lowing having been published last
week as an answer 10 what the
Mitchell Gazette had two weeks ago:
Whatever Mr.. Brearlv's condition
Of mind may have been at any time
after his Incarceration. it was sure

Milwaukee Road is Giving CONNIE

the Freight Trains.


There is very little danger of the
people west of the Missouri river On
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railroad suffering to any extent as
the result Of a coal famine. An order
has just been issued today by the
chief train dispatcher OF the Iowa
and Dakota division instructing con-
ductors to give cars of coal the
preference I'VE all other freight on
the western end Of the road. A large
quantity Of coal has been shipped
west to Murdo to supply the country
beyond. At one time the Milwaukee
company permitted the citizens to

when there was a shortage. which
was a great relief ut the time and
the action was greatly appreciated
by the people.

The Presenting of Prosperous Fig

!. Washington Star: AS a people we
like to have the signs OF our pros
petty brought to II attention.
We are fond Of the statistics that
| roll I'D into the millions. We have
| become rather used to millions. We
| have begun to thlnk In billions. The
tenth figure vas rarely employed a
century ago. In some comparisons
recently complied relative to Amerl-
ca progress it occurred only once.
In 1880 the total wealth of the coun-
Try was estimated at $1,000, 600, 600.
In 1905 it was placed at Sl06, DOC, 0OO,-
900, more than one hundred times as
much. The per capita wealth, 1T Is
comforting to know, grew in those
Is years FROM $3.50 to Sl,253. That is
one reason why the individual Amer
lea likes to see the figures that tell
tie story of bis atf1uence, both as a
unit in the great community and as
a member of the richest state In the
world. just one more contrast of
this sans sort before passing on,
showing that we are not spend
thrifts in our afluence. In 1880
there were only 1000 savings bank
depositors in the United States, or
one for every 5,30S Of the population,
while in 1905 there were $500, 600
depositors, or one for every sixteen
people IN the country. The average
of deposits in this class Of institu-
tions fell from $500 in 1880 to about
$500 ia 1905, but the total leaped
from $500, 900 10 SO. 800, OO0, 0o0.
One OF the susest signs of our
growth and prosperity is furnished 10y
the statistics of railways. According
to preliminary calculations by the
Interstate Commerce commission in
preparation for the Forthcoming re-
port on railway earnings, the ZOO
600 miles of road constituting about
80 per cent OF the total earned during
the last fiscal year $3.50, $50, 030
gross, or about s716, 500, S77 net. The
gross earnings were $40, 543 mile, and
the net earnings SO, $50.
These are highly significant figures.
They are even more significant in
the light o. the fact that they rep
resens heavy advances over the year
previous. Thus, the net earnings
for the last fiscal year we're s97, OO0,-
coo larger than the previous twelve
months. That mean that more
goods we're carried and more people
travelled, both items standing for
increasing prosperity.
Will the future be as marvellous in

on PRESERVING GAME
Suggestion Of Sporting Writer on the
Preservation of the Prairie
Chicken.

Chicken.
The following from the pen OF
Clate Tinan, editor of the kimball
Graphic, and published In the cur-
rent issue OF the "Sportsman !"
particularly appropriate just now in
view of the game law revision which
Is under consideration:
Tie people of the western prair,es
should realize that all game laws are
no. in the interest OF the few-as
some would have them belle ve-but
In the interest OF the many, OF which
they constitute the major part. The
prairie chickens should be protected
with reasonable assurance of main
tanning the supply il for 40 other
reason than the food they furnish to
the farmer, to the stockman and to
the rancher. With this, the pursuit
of them furnishes the youth OF the
prairie homes about the only recrea-
ton with dog and gun that the
country affords.
The rich or well-to-do can either
stock private game preserves or
journey affair off to distant lands
where game is plentiful. To this
latter class the coming or going of
the prairie chicken is OF small mo-
ment, for the whole world is theirs
in the pursuit Of pleasure. Not
outstanding this, and the further
fact that the prairie chicken is the
best friend in bird life that the
farmer has, destroying as it does,
myriads Of bugs and grasshoppers
and never molesting standing plain,
nine-tenths of the opposition TO
effective game laws in every leeisia-
tive assembly comes from the farmer
members.
There is a feeling among this
class of men that game protection
is in the sole interest of the city
sportsmen. Notwithstanding that
the laws of most states have strin-
gent trespass laws which give to the
farmer absolute conrol OF his lands
and make their homes. The CITY
sportsmen are perfectly willing that
it should be so. resting in the belief
that there will always be enough
birds to get over the line to give
reasonable sport.
The "posling" of farms, too, is
approved by the better class OF
sportsmen. 1t is a protection to the
birds and a restraint on vandalism.
That is TO say, 1t is a protection to
the birds If The farmer will let them
alone until Sept. l, and see that his
hired help and his son do likewise.
There is a feeling among farmers
that any law which conserves the
game is but the saving OF them for
the hunters from the towns and
cities.
They come on to their lands on
the opening day and let their dogs
run riot, not only cleaning up whole
coveys, but doing more or less
damage to grain and fences. The
p%royocation IS strong, then, to get
out a little in advance and get a few
messes before the shooting opens in
September.
There is only one remedy for this,
and that is the appointment of
effective game wardens from the
faSming community. In some OF the
Western states-notably the two Da-
kotas-there is..no state game warden
or game commission and but a few
country wardens appointed by the
governor, none Of whom receive a
dollar Of compensation. The impos.
sibility of a single county game war
den watching from 500 to 1000 square
m1les3of territory and boarding him
