commanding lead in the list Of win
ming owners, but has not yet reached
the $4,000 mark. The repeated vic
tories cf Madman. climaxed by his Pa
cifc Union handicap success of Sat

stands second TO him, is only one win

is only half that of Powers. Walter
Miller has worked up into third place,

Improvements Retarded by Dis
agreement Between Rock
Island and M. & ST. L.

Watertown, S. D., Jan. THAT the
st. Louis and Rock Island roads will
spend at least $4,000 for new yards,
shops and a new station in WatertowD
n coming year is a statement made
unofficially, before the city council by
George w. Case, the local attorney for
the st. Louis road.
Ihat these improvements are not al
cad under way is the result of a dis
agreement between the St. Louis and
the ROCK Island over the proportionate
expense to be borne by each was also
an aVerinent of Mr.. Case.
Relative to the failure of the roads
to get together, MIR. Chase said in sub
stance.
THE Rock Island feels that it's inter-
ests and its business here are small,
and that it does not care to go to the
expense of improvements as planned
by the st. Louis. The st. Louis, on
the other hand, looking forward to the
future, wants to build and build Well,
Because of this disagreement, The two,
roads ask that action on the matters
IN dispute between the city and the
road be held up until such time as an
agreement is reached between the OFF,
Gals. when the two roads Will be pre-
pared to treat with the city on the
various problems at issue"
BY unanimous vote the council de-
cided to hold the matter in statu quo
until May /, 1908.

ZULU CHIEF SINGS
HOME, SWEET HOME
IN ENGLISH NOW

London, Dec. 2S.-Dinizulu, head
chief of the %ferocious Zulus. renowned
as the best fighters among the natives
of Africa, has allowed a lone sheriff
to go into Zululand and attack him.
His British neighbors in Natal say he
has been making mischief, melting the
blacks to remove" the white colonials.
They got together a lot of troops and
seemed about to send them against him
when he sent a message to the gov
ernor asking what the military prepara-
lions meant, and why, if he had done
wrong, he was not arraigned before a.
civil court and given a fair trial. So,
a sheriff was sent after him with a.
warrant and Dinizulu, son of the war
like Cetewayo, quietly went along to
be tried.
Dinizulu lives, when he is at home. in
a well constructed building, furnished
in the English fashion, With large mir
rored vardrobes in his bedroom and
all the appliances of civilized life. He
has u brick house for any English
guests, and has an English speaking,
native valet to attend him. At night
he entertains his guests with a gran1o-
phone, with English records, and if
well enough, plays the organ himself
and sings to his own accompaniment
his favorite song. which he sings IN
English, being Home, Sweet Home !"
He is a fluent Zulu scholar. and writes
with ease in a bold hand, and also
speaks English.
