WILL BUILD ELECTRIC LINE.
Sioux Falls lnterurban Company to
Begin Work in Spring.

What may be the first Of a network
of electric lines centering at Sioux
Falls is announced to begin construc-
ton early in the spring.
The Sioux Falls Interurban Electric
Railway company, recently incorpo-
rated, with DR.. r. F. Brown as presi-
dent and George A. Pettigrew secre-
tary, has announced that money neces-
sary to construct the road has been
raised, and that work will begin as
soon as the snow is off the ground.
Most of the parties interested in the
line are residents of Sioux Falls.
The route to be taken has not been
definitely fixed, but it is likely that the
first line will go along one side of Wall
Lake and from there to either Bridge
water, Parker or Salem and beyond.
The city terminus, which vii eventu-
ally be in the heart of the city, will at
first be established at the junction of
the Great Northern and Rock Island
tracks.

DROPS APPEAL FOR KELLEY.
County Board Rescinds Action Favor
able to Indicted Official.

A few days ago the board of county
commissioners of Beadle county passed
resolutions alleging that the prosecu-
lions against G. A. Kelley, on charges
of having forged certificates Of ac-
acknowledgements, uttered forged deeds,
ETC., as shown in six indictments re-
turned against him by the grand jury,
were instituted by political enemies Of
Mr.. Kelley, and that the fact that on
the hearing of three of the charges two
resulted in acquittal and the other the
jury failed to agree, indicated that it
was useless to continue proceedings
further, and recommended that the
cases be dismissed. The board since
has adopted resolutions resembling the
former resolution and directing all ref
erence to the same to be expunged
from the records.

poN'Ts FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Some Things to Avoid in the Interest
of Safety


of Safety.
Don't allow your chauffeur to drink
liquor while in charge of your car. II
running your own car, avoid rum your
self.
Don't run on the wrong. side of the
road except at narrow, intersecting
streets.
Don't try to see how close you can
run to pedestrian. Give him even
more room than they require Many
walkers have heart trouble. -
Don't take any kind of curve or
turn at twenty miles an hour; better
go four miles and be able to do it
again. go.
Don't put oil on your registration
number and throw dust on It, An hon
est man isn't afraid of identification.
Don't 4toot your horn in passing
horses unless in approaching from be-
hind, and then not unless absolutely
necessary. There are still some spir-
tied animals.
Don't blow your Gabriel horn con-
tinually in city street; little of it is
music; too much is disagreeable, irri-
tating racket.
Don't forget to light your lamps one
hour before sunset; then you will
have more chance than the wagon
ahead without lights-and be within
the law.
Don't grab at things that concern
the chauffeur, and don't take pas
senger again that has grabbed once
if you are ever able to go out again.
Don't run away after running down
anybody; you'll stand better chance
if you stay.
Don't ever act like anything but an
intelligent gentleman.-Outing.

Jury Returns Verdict in Fergus Falls
Case

Fergus Falls, Mimi, Jan. 16.-The
jury in the Grenberg murder case
returned verdict of not guilty after
retirement of little more than SIX
hours. The verdict is believed to be

sions of the accused were introduced
as evidence during the trial Gren-
berg was accused of having put sold
ering fluid, mixture of muriatc acid
and zinc, into a glass of whisky which
he poured for Halvord Nyman, on

living for the past two or three years.
Nyman, who was an aged man, died
within a few hours after drinking the

THE CALL OF THE CANADIAN
WEST.
The Greatest Wheat Crop of the Con.

tinent.
The year that has just closed has
done great deal towards showing
the possibilities of Western Canada
from an agricultural standpoint. The
wheat crop has run very near to the
100,000,000 bushel limit that was look
ed upon as too sanguine an estimate
only short time ago, and the area
that has been broken to fall wheat
for the coming harvest will go long
way toward enabling the farmers of
the West to overlap on the 100,000,000
bushel estimate next year. And while
the spring and winter wheat have
been doing SO well during the past few
years, the other cereals have been
keeping up with the procession. Rye
and barley have made immense
strides, and peas and flax have been
moving steadily along. Dairying.
also, has, been successfully carried on
in the new provinces, and in every
stage the farmer has been striking
it rich" To such an extent has the
success of the West taken hold of tho
outsiders that the rush of our Ameri-
cans to Saskatchewan and Alberta,
which was looked upon as marvellous
last year, bids fair to be largely ex-
ceeded in 1906, and as there are still
millions of acres of free homesteads
available, which the building of the
new railways will render accessible
to the markets, new wheat lands will
be opened ere long. Amongst the
first to avail himself of the opportun-
ity presented will be the American
settler. In a large number of Ameri-
can cities Dominion Government
Agents are located, who are able and
willing to give the latest and best in
formation in regard to the new dis
tricts which the railways will open
up, and there will be no abatement OF
the rush to the Canadian prairies dur
ing the coming season. Some time
since a poet in the columns of the
Toronto Star" had the following
stirring lines, which throb of the
Western spirit:
There's stir in the air, there's
thrill through the land,
mere movement toward tl6
great West;
And the eyes of all men for the mo-
ment are turned
To the country that we love the
best.
For it's Canada's day in the worlds
calendar,
And to this merry toast let us sup:
Here's to the land, the young giant
of the North,
Where the prairies are opening up."
They come from the East and they
come from the South
They come DER the deep rolling
They come, for they know they will
dwell meath flag
That makes all men equal and free.
Then, once more the toast, and let
every man rise
And cheer e'er he sips from the cup:
HERE'S to the land, the young giant of
the North
Where the praires are opening up!"

WANT LONG OFFICERS
BRITISH NAVY HAD A FUNNY
MUTINY.

PORTSMOUTH, England, November s.
A mut1nous outbreak on the part Of 800 or
600 sailors last night necessitated the i'm
mediate mobilization of the entire force in
the naval barracks here in order to pre-
vent the affair from developing into a Sc
rious mutiny.
The men had assembled in the gymna-
SUM when the senior officer, man of
short stature wishing to administer a rep
rimand for breach of discipline. ordered
the front ranks to kneel so that he could
see the men in the rear. The order was
resented, and some of the sailors who re-
fused to obey were arrested.
Their comrades, aggrieved, ran amuck
wrecked the canteen and other premises
started to break out of barracks with the
intention of wrecking the quarters of the
obnoxious officer, and were only prevented
from so doing by the fixed bayonets of an
overwhelming force. A number Of the men
who attempted to break out of barracks
were arrested.

INTEREST IN ELECTION
OUTCOME WILL BE AWAITED
WITH KEEN ANXIETY.

Official Washington is looking forward to
states tomorrow with many evidences of
anxious interest. The President is most
largely concerned in the outcome in New
York state, where, through Secretary Root
he has made known his attitude regarding
the situation The President is particularly
anxious, too, that the next House shall be
of his political faith. Although the repub-
licans are willing to admit that the demo-
Gratis are to make gains over their present
representation in Congress, yet they do not
concede the former all they are claiming.
Both parties have directed their final ener-
giles to the states where the fight is closest.
With hostile political body in the lower
branch of Congress the President may be
frequently hampered in the prosecution of
his policies, and for this reason he desires
the election of a safe republican majority.
Although denied the right of local suf-
frage Washington, because of the presence
of the national government, takes the
greatest interest in the outcome. A
number of the clerks, both democrats and
republicans, in the various departments
who still hold their legal residences in the
stare states u rom winch they were appointed
have gone home to vote. Only the demo-
cratic congressional committee has main
tanned headquarters in Washington and
this fact makes the local element largely
dependent upon outside sources for the
"straws' which show the way the political
wind Is blowing.
Prof Garriott, forecast official, says re-
garding tomorrow's weather:
Fair weather and moderate temperature
Is indicated for Tuesday generally over the
eastern half of the country, and also in
the middle western and southwestern
states; rain in Minnesota and Dakota, and
rpi nr and oolI
ing, Montana and the interior of Washing
ton and Oregon.
