The Chicago. Milwaukee & St.
Paul railroad company have selected
a site at the mouth of the Grand
river for their bridge across the Mis-
souri, river in this state and have
thus put an end to all doubt as to
the building Of their coast connec-
tions through South Dakota. More
miles Of railroad will be built in
this state this year than in any other
state in the union and isalso an even
bet there will be more new settlers
in this state than in any other. Get
busy. Clean up your yards, improve
your streets, repair your sidewalks,
paint and repair your buildings
make Webster the most up-to-date,
clean and progressive city in South
Dakota thereby making it pleasing
and attractive to visitors. We all

in the state but we have got to make
i look that way to homeseekers,
many Of whom are alaeady travelling

In Ohio the Legislature has just
increased the saloon license from
$3.50 to $1,000. The breweries pre-
dict that an awful calamity will
befall that state in the fact that one
half of the saloons will go out of
business. Well, the other half of
the saloon keepers and the temper
ance people will not kick on this
result so the action seems, all things
considered, to have been quite a
stroke of politics.

Mr.. Farmer, now is the breeding
time. You have seen the splendid
prices that well bred horses have
brought in this county the past
winter. You have no excuse for
raising any other kind. There are

as many fine specimens of stations
as can be found right here at home.
1T you don't raise good horses it is
your own fault.

The condition of the streets of
this city at the present time should
make many converts to the sewer
proposition. There is absolutely no
place for the surface water to go but
to evaporate, until we get a proper

nice, clean dry streets and sidewalks.

Thursday, March 70, 1906.

The people of this county have
a neighbor Oh either side of them
this year an aspirant for the honor
of being the candidate of the repub,
lican party for the high position of
member of congress from this state.
Both of these gentlemen have a
court record. Judge A. w. Camp
bell, of Aberdeen, was judge OF the
circuit court for this district for
many years and during all those
years his courteous treatment of all
litigants, his absolute and exact
justice, his open and frank decisions,
his pleasing and generous person
atty all tended to make him the
most popular man in the district,
not only with the voters of Day
county, but but with the voters of
every county in the northeastern
part Of the state. He was SO uni
'yersally popular and SC generously
liked that the people of his district
looked upon his decision to retire
from the bench almost as a public
misfortune. 1t is no wonder that
when Mr.. Martin decided to become
a candidate for the senate leaving a
vacancy upon the congressional
delegation that the people of this
part of the state Immediately decided
that able, clean and courageous
JudgesCampbell would be a worthy
successor for the place. Nor is it
any wonder that a nan so justly
and generously popular at home
should meet with such a hearty sup
port from all over the state. There
seems little doubt at this time as to
his nomination which means a GER
tain election. Opposed to Judge
Campbell is l.. HI. Bentley, of Mil
bank, also a neighbor of Day county.
We are sorry we cannot say a good
word for him. 1t is always a
pleasure to speak we'll of ones neigh
bors. But when one can not say a
good word without lying, charity
should prompt silence: MI. Bentley
has a court record in this county,
but it is very different from that of
Judge Campbell. He was not on
the bench, but before it and the
outcome of the case was not to his
favor, and that the Ease was not
appealed is evidence of the fact that
he felt that he had secured justice.
Every citizen Of this county knows
the history Of the Jennie Rabak
case. And the record of the case would
have precluded a less brazen and a
more self respecting mar from ever
getting his name again before the
searchlight of public inspection.
Remember you have your choice,
Bentley or Campbell.
