PASSENGER SERVICE
It is Claimed at Chamberlain That
Milwaukee Will Put on Through
Trains October 81.
Trains October 81.

lhere has Jeen much speculation
as to how Don the Milwaukee COM
pany intended to stalt its through
passenger service from this side of
the river to the Black Hills country.
A correspondent at Chamberlain
seems to have secured al. inside tip
on the proposition. as the following
special from that ulace would indt-
cate:
The Milwaukee railroad company
has discontinued wOrE at the OacOma
gravel pits. Allof the track between
Chamberlain and Rapid City has
been now ballasted with gravel ex-
cept about ten miles, and the gravel
for this will be taken from the pits
at the Cheyenne river. IL may be
stated on the best Of authority that
a regular tram service will be insti-
tuted between Chamberlain and
Rapid City on Sunday, Oct. q.
When this is done Chamberlain will
have two passenger trains to and
flom the east daily, and one west.
The train that for some time has
been making its terminus at Mitchell
will on the 9th continue on to the
west, for the present making Rapid
City Its terminus, giving a daylight
service both wavs between the Miss
ouri river and the Hills. The pass
eneer that has been arriving at
Chamberlain from the east each
evening and departing each morning
will continue as at present. This
we are able to state has been abso-
lutely decided on by the company,
and the train crews for the change
have been selected. The change will
be a welcome one for the travelling
public. 1t is absolutely impossible
for the passenger service to handle
the business, moi has 1t been possible
for several years. Every train is
hours late, and the trains are all
packed to the doors. The transfer
of large sections of business from the
express companies to the way freight
has not materially facilitated running
trains within hours of the printed
schedule.

covered walking around through the

Ing over the City. by $3.50 there
were a number OF business men
down town and they went to the
Vicinity Of the Widmann where che
Sioux Fails people were stationed
after they had looked over the bust
ness district and called ON as MANY of

FRANCHISE At ABERDEEN
Messrs. Absher and Pease Have Ap-
Piled for q Franchise at Aber-
deem for Lighting Plant.

The Aberdeen news and the Amer
lean OF yesterday commented on the
presence Of Messrs. Atsher and
Pease, Of the Wagner, Lake Andes
& Armour Traction Co. being in the
city and trying to secure an electric
light franchise. and Offering practice
ally the same low rate that they
made to Mitchell.
Some time ago they had a franchise
ordinance before the Aberdeen coun-
Gil and it vas placed on its first
reading, and the gentlemen are now
urging Aberdeen to accept their
proposition.
Judging from the comment made
by the News, the Wagner company
does not expect to do anything
further about securing a franchise in
this city, as the following would
indicate:
This company purchased a full
equipment for Mitchell, where it
was believed a franchise would be
awarded for elecuric lighting, power
and street railway. However. the
bondsmen Of @. 9. King, the unfor-
tunate banker who held the fran
chise, will not give down and as the
franchise has still six months to run,
the Wagner company is unable to
get 10. Its machinery, poles, etc.,
are on track 10 Mitchell in anti
cipation OF getting in. In case the
franchise is let to them in Aber-
deem, they will at once have the
equipment sent up here and will
begin work with a station and string
ing the wires.
However. when Messrs. Absher and
Pease went to Aberdeen the other
day, they insisted that they were
coming back to Mitchell for the
council meeting in November tic
again urge the passage of their
franchise, to which time action on
the same was postponed.

Effo1ts have been made to arrange
for a game Of football between the
high school teams Of Mitchell and
Aberdeen, but 1t looks like all neg
otiatotns will be for naught.

Mitchell a short time ago for the
team to so to that city for a game,
but too much time would be On.

that place, and an invitation was
sent for Abeerden to come to Mitch
ell, inasmuch as the round TRIP
could be made In a dav. Aberdeen
declined the invitation on the ground
that the date conhicted with a date
they had with Sioux Falls when these
two teams intended to play Tor the
championship OF the state.
The local management agreed te
meet Aberdeen on neutral territory
and suggested meeting of the two
teams to play at Redfield for a com.
promise on distance.
Since sending that invitation tt
Aberdeen not a word has been heard
from them. and the local team has
no idea whether their invitation
will he accepted. However, before
Aberdeen or Sioux Falls PLAYS TO,

will have Mitchell to reckon with a,

woRK WELL UNDER way
The Milwaukee Company Completing
Its New Switches and Build
ing Freight House,

When Monday evening came to a
close the labofers finished laying the
new switch track for the Milwaukee
company past the wholesale house Of
the Mitchell Furniture Co. and that
of the Dakota Improved Seed Co.
The track vas carried across the alley
but will remain there until the old
opera house building is utilized for
a wholesale house. 1t vas necessary
to dcpress the track about IS inches
to bring 1t on a level with the street.
to comply with the city ordinance
which gave the permission to occupy
che street. This track comes up
from the Mitchell Fruit Co. and
quite a curve is made to reach the
street.
Tires other switch tracks are
built just across the street south
afording a great deal more yard room,
and which will be utilized in con-
nection with the new freight build
ing.
Work has already commenced on
the new freight depot and 1T is going
to be a mammoth affair, in COM
parison with the depot that has been
in use for a great many years.
Something like sixty concrete piers
are being built on which the building
will rest, and a concrete foundation
has been made for the front of the
structure, where the Offices will be
located.
The building Will be built OF brick.
and will be heated With q hot water
plant and lighted with electricity,
which will be produced by a plant In
the building.
1t is the expectation to commence
work on the enlargement of the
roundhouse coon, and also the
putting In OF a layer turn table to
admit Of the larger engines which
will he put on the runs in and out
Of Mitchell for the tracfie west of
this city.

GOT THEIR FIRST JOLT
Yankton College COPIED a Game OF
Dakota Wesleyan in a Way
That Was Surprising.

Mitchell people who are interested
In the college football team met with
a surprise Monday evening that for
a while was hafd to accept, when
news came that Yankton had de-
feated d. W. by a score Of 10 to o.
There was scarcely a man In school
who did not expect the team to win.
the only speculation being as to tho
size Of the score.
The game was played on a field two
inches deep In dust, otherwise the
grounds and weather we've perfect.
There were no accidents or fumbles
or tukes to detract from the fairness
Of the contest. II Mitchell was in
clined to kick mention might be
made of the numerous penalties
imposed on the u. W. team: Of
a penalty for Latting the ball when
in reality they were blocking q for
ward pass; Of a penalty for rough
tackling when Yankton had contin-
ually to tie called down for holding;
of fifteen yard penalties when the
rules prescribe but five: Of unman-
nerly hooting and rocks thrown At
oul team. Hut the D. W. boys
admit that they were fairly outpiayed
and beaten by fast, snappy football
and greater endurance than they
we're able to put up.
The return game with Yankton
will surely be interesting. 1t vii. be
played on the local gridiron Nov. %.
