Mr.. House states that the officials

over the recent action of the govern

the premiums of the bonds they are
obliged to furnish for the faithful
performance of their duties. Some
of these officials handle large
amounts OF money during the year
and hence their bonds are of no
small amount. In some cases the
premiums are high and the payment
of premiums was a considerable
item. The government now pays tke

A BUSY PLACE.
Northwestern Depot Platform the
Scene of Animation When the
Evening Trains Pull In,


almost like Chicago" this and
similar remarks are getting common
these days around the Northwest
ern depot when the time for the ar
rival and departure of the evening
trains approaches. And no wonder,
for the number ofpeople who come
to town on the trains mingling with
those who come down "just to see
the vanished cars come in," makes
crowd that Of late has been taxing
the capacity of the platforms to their
limit. And even when 1t rains the
congestion fails to grow less to any
perceptible extent
Since the evening train over the
Pierre line with Its Pullman accom-
mGdatons has been put on, the
passenger traffic in the morning has
not been so heavy out of this city,
thus giving those down the line a
much better service than they for
merly had. The equipment is solid
vestibuled and first class with the ex-
ception Of the lamps which are nee
essarily of the coaloil type, owing to
the Northwestern line having no
gas condensing station this side OF
Elroy, Wis.
Work on the Milwaukee depots
north of the Crouch line is being
pushed as rapidly as the weather
will permit and clear skies for few
days are all that is needed to give
to give the workmen fine start ON
the structures. Then 1t will not be
long until Rapid City will have a
passenger station that she may well
be proud of.

The same rain that SO delighted

old Mother Earth in fashion not
enjoyed since the heavy rains OF as
year ago, while proving an inyalu-

by softening up roadbeds enough
to make fast running risky business.
The Milwaukee line Jared the
worst as their roadbed through
what is known as the gumbo dis

considerably from the torrents and
the railroad officials deemed 1t wise
to hold the regular passenger In
