ANOTHER BIG R. R. EXTENSION.
Great Northern May Build From
Sioux City to Minot, N. D.

Great Northern May Build From
Sioux City to Minot, N. D.
A right of way representative of
the Great Northern is quoted by an
Aberdeen business man as saying that
the road had in contemplation the inn
mediate building of the line from
Sioux City, Iowa, to Minot, N. D.,
which was discussed a year or two
ago.
According to this information the
Great Northern will build through the
central part of the state, paralleling
line from Minot to Sioux City will
touch none of the present terminals
of the road in South Dakota except,
possibly, Yankton, but that the lines
at Aberdeen, IAlron and Yanlton will
be extended to the new main line to
act as feeders.
Great Northern surveyors have
been at work in the vicinity of Eu-
reka, and it is reported that the
Forbes extension from Glendale will
be built on to Eureka, and that Eu-
reka will be on the new line to Minot.
So many stories have been printed re-
garding the intentions of the Great
Northern road in South Dakota that
most of them have been labeled pipe
dreams" by persons who have heard
of the stories of the past, but the fact
that the road has made heavy invest
ments for station sites at Huron and
Aberdeen, and has actually built from
Glendale to Forbes, on the South Da-
kota line, taken in connection with
the operations of surveyors who do
not deny that they are in the employ
of the Great Northern, has cause
more than usual credence to be given
to the latest reports of the Great
Northern's intentions.

POLITICAL PARTY REF REPRESENTATIONS
All Parties in State Must Hold Conventions June
5-Effect of the New Caucus Law.

While a great deal has been said
in regard to the representation at the
Republican state convention, but lit
tie has been heard about the con-
ventions of the other parties in the
state. Under the caucus law which
fixes the convention dates and fixes
the representation to which each
party shall be entitled. the conven-
tons of all the parties must be held
On the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in June preceding the cleo
ton. And up to the present the
only party which has yet made a
move toward calling a convention is
the Republican party.
While the South Dakota caucus
Jaw does not attempt to in any way
limit the percentage of votes which
entities party to make nomina-
tions, it places a limitation. in sec
ton, of the number of delegates en-
titled to seats in state convention,
placing the limitation at one dele
gate for fifty votes or major fraction
thereof cast for governor by the par
ty at the preceding election, only a
portion of the state would be repre-
sented in conventions called by the
Prohibitionisrs, the Socialists or the
Peoples party in case they call a
NcoRKention this year, In fact that
party would find its representation in
but nine counties under the limit of
fifty votes, or major fraction for

SENATOR DfPfW Is VERY Ill.
is SUFFERING FROM AsPHAsiA--
PHYSICIANS HOLD CON-
suLTATioN.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator De
peW's friends have been informed, il
is reported here, that the disease from
which the senator is suffering is as
',hasia, combined with melancholia
or morbid fear that everybody has
turned against him.
The attack of asphasia, which is the
impairment or loss of the faculty of
understanding or expressing spoken
or written language, Independently of
any failure or paralysis of the facul-
ties, was first noticed about Christ
mas time. The senator, it is reported
here, was suddenly seized while at a
was incapable of expressing himself,
The first attack was of short dura-
ton. 1t was followed by other at
tacks that have lasted longer.
The senator came to Washington
on Tuesday. He came unexpectedly.
No one of his household here expect
ed him, He announced that he would
go to the senate the next day. In
stead he took train at noon and
hurried to New York.
1t was reported that he was seized
with a severe attack of his afflictioL
while on the way to the capitol and
that his relatives thought it best to
take him to New York and seek a
medical consultation. According to
the dispatches that consultation was
held yesterday. 1t is reported here
that no one is allowed to see the sen
ator except the immediate members
of his family. The senator's real
condition is a closely guarded secret

Suit Is Started to Recover Live Stock
From Purcharer.
Dispositions have been taken in the
Bonesteel country in a suit which
shows that Notwithstanding that
Jack" Sully, the so-called King of
the Cattle Rustlers," was shot and
killed some time ago by United States
deputy marshals while resisting ar
rest, the outgrowth of depredations
committed by himself and members
of his gang continue to occupy the at
tention of the courts. The defendant
in the suit is H. Rickgauer of Bristow,
and it is alleged he, about three years
ago, purchased a bunch OF cattle
which afterwaru were ascertained to
have been "rustled" by Jack Sully
and his gang. The plaintiffs in the
suit claim the cattle purchased by
Rickgauer were stolen from them, and
they seek to recover the value of the
stock.

One of the things Observer Daniel
P. McCullom is required to report
upon is the thickness Of ice in the
channel of the Missouri. This require
ment was imposed for the first time
last year, and at that time McCullom
was sending daily reports Of ice vary
ing In thickness from two to three
feet. This year the channel has not
been closed. and the observer after
diligent search, was able only to find
few inches in some of the sloughs,
and so reported to his department.
The officials at Washington evident
ly regarded this as a joke. and sent
back demand for the thickness of
the ice in the channel. stating that
information concerning lakes and
ponds was not required. McCullom
assured the officials that his first re-
port was true and still held good, but
nevertheless repeated demands have
been made upon him for the informal
| ton called for. He is considering the
plan of having a committee of citizens
attest the verify of his reports.
