RAILWAY RUMBLINGS

Vincent Ford, a member Of conduc-
tor Loomis' crew, has been laying off
the past week, and spent a couple of
days with his folks at Estelline.
The mixed train between here and
Redfeld did not leave yesterday morn
ing until 1890. The engine refused
to work properly and a new one had to
be sent down from Huron.
Conductor James Loomis, who has
been running on the freight between
here and Tracy, has been transferred
to the mixed train between Huron and
Hawarden. He went to Huron, ac-
companied by Mrs. Loomis, to take
up his new duties.
The trains have been pulling in
nearly on time the past week, owing
to the let up in the cold weather. The
fine weather OF past week has been
highly gratifying to the railroad boys,
as their work, hard enough under
ordinary circumstances, IS made
doubly hard by cold weather.
Ed Hannigan was in the city the
latter part OF the week and spent a day
or two with friends, going from here
to Minneapolis for a couple OF days
visit. Mr.. Hannigan is a forme,
student at the college. He has beer
railroading the last few years, ant
is now conductor on the passenge
between Fort Pierre and Midland.

within these institutions 1t must pro-
vide money for paying higher salaries
to professors than they have done
heretofore. The salaries in the Uni
versity and the Agricultural college
has remained practically the same for
the last fifteen years whereas the cost
Of living in that time has increased
more than 80 per cent. There il not a
professor in the Agricultural College,
but what is entitled to an increase in
salary ranging from twenty-five to
fifty percent over what he receives at
the present time, and it is presumed
the same condition is true at the
University.
II good work is to be expected from
a teacher, he must have a salary sufii-
GENTLY large, to meet his grocery bills
without worry, to say nothing about
saving up a cent for a rainy day. The
fact is, that the faculty at the Agri-
cultural College OF South Dakota
receive smaller salary than the pro-
lessons in any similar institution in
the United States.
Moreover, the stupendous donations
by such men as Carnegie, Rockefeller
and others of that class, to private and
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges, will Dol
enable them to raise their standard to
a higher plane than before. These
donations not only'provide for larger
salaries and better equipment, but
they provide for a liberal pension for
lie OF a retired professor. Unless the
state provides for a high standard of
maintenance for its institutions and
liberal salaries for the teachers while
in actual service the tendency will
soon be for the better class OF teachers
to leave the state institutions for the
private colleges.
There has been some discussion and
some talk in the state recently, to
elevate the educational institutions
above the plane of politics. Accord
ing to the idea of the writer, the n
move that will accomplish that result
more than any other, will be to pro-
vide a permanent appropriation for
annual maintenance for each institu-
ton in the form OF a fixed levey on
all taxable property. This should be
made large enough to place each
institution on an easy working basis.
Salaries should be enlarged 80 that a
professor would feel reasonably salts
fed and not disgruntled. The best
result can not be obtained so long as
the teaching force is dissatisfied with
their wages. Moreover this dissatis.
faction might become an easy mark
for the politician.
To attain the desired end and to
elevate the institutions above such
conditions the Agricultural college will
need about 8 $1,000 per year, and from
information at hand should Judge that
the University would need from $65, 900
to SIC, This would only amount
to between SIS 900 and $50, 900 per year
for the two institutions above the APP
preparations for 1906, but it would
place them on a higher plane than
they have been before. 1t certainly
will be the best investment OF money
that the state IA make.
Recently Prof. Cook OF the State
University published some statistics
showing that about 265 students from
the state are now attending colleges OF

DISEASES DUE To DRINK.
Msny Fatal .MaIndics Result From
Use of Alcohol.


Consul Frank w. Maiin OF Noting
ham, in writing on the decrease of
drinking and drunkenness in England.
SAYS.
a special committee last year made
an exhaustive investigation of the sub
ject and reported to parliament.
The substance of this report was, at
the request of temperance societies,
published by the authorities of sew
through placards posted on billboards
and distributed in factories and work
shops. The Nottingham placnrd. sign
ed by the chairman of the city councils
health committee, the city's medical Of
ficer and the town clerk. reads as fol.

The report of the committee presented to
parliament by command of his majesty
states that
The abuse of alcoholic stimulants Is a
most potent and deadly agent of physical
deterioration.
Alcoholic persons are specially liable to
tuberculosis and all inflammatory disor-
ders
Evidence was placed before the com
mittee showing that in abstinence is to
be sought the source of muscular vigor
and activity.
The lunacy figures show large and in
creasng number of admissions of both
sexes which are due to drink.
The following facts. recognized by the
medical profession and pacarded all over
France by order of the government are
published in order to carry out the rec
ommendation of the committee and to
bring home to men and women the fatal
effects of alcohol on physical efficiency:
Alcoholism is a chronic poisoning re
sulting from the habitual use of alcohol
whether as spirits. wine or beer. which
may never go as far as drunkenness.
1t is mistake to say that those doing
hard work require stlmulants. AS a fact
no one requires alcohol as either food or
tonic.
Alcohol is really a narcotic dulling the
nerves, IKE laudanum or opium but is
more dangerous than either in that often
its first effect is to weaken a mans self
control while his passions are excited .
hence the number Of crimes which occur
under its influence.
Spirits, as usually taken. rapidly pro-
duce alcoholism. but milder alcoholic
drinks. as beer and even cider. drunk re-
peatedly every day produce after a time
alcoholic poisoning with equal certainty.
The habit of drinking leads to the ruin
of families, the neglect Of social duties
disgust for work. misery. theft and crime
1t leads also to the hospital, for alcohol
produces the most various and most fatal
diseases, including paralysis. insanity
disease Of the stomach and liver and
dropsy. 1t also paves the way to con-
sumption, and frequenters Of public
houses furnish a large proportion Of the
victims of this disease. 1t complexities
and aggravates all acute diseases. Ty-
phoid fever. pneumonia and eryspelas
are rapidly fatal in the subject of alco-
holism.
The sins Of alcoholic parents are visited
on the children. II these survive infancy
they are threatened with idiocy or cpl
lepsy, and many are carried away by
tuberculosis meningitis phthss (con-

BILE enemy to personal health, to family

Is beer an alcoholic drink?
Yes: II contains from 4 to 10 per

the reason that 1t Is mild and cheap

AS between single drink of beer or
whisky, the beer would be less harm

the water, Of course, Is put to good use

nearly as much alcohol.

that whisky is dangerous drink. Ev-

Hurt In Free For All Fight.

A free for all fight occurred last night on the Wylam car in which four white men-Conductor Stevens, Motorman Brooks, John Aeuff and N. II. WhitlociS were. the participants. The difficulty arose between Whitoelx and the eondue tor. who remonstrated with him for his boisterous conduct. Whitlock got more abusive, which resulted in Conductor Stevens knocking Whtlock down and brought on a fight Seeing his companion getting the worst of it, Acuff joined in the fray. and 1t is said cut Stevens in the back with a knife. At this time Motor man Brook came to the relief of Stevens and, using the hand controller of the car with telling effect quickly put Whitlock and Acuff out of commission. All four men were more or less injured. Stevens was cut in the back, Brooks had two fingers broken, Aeuff had a deep gash in the head, and Whitlock was cut about the head and face. The men we're put under bond to appear before the police court Monday morning. Whitlock and Acuff were taken to their homes in a buggy, where their injuries were attended to. Stevens and Brooks were unable to run the car, which was brought in by q relief force.
