has not yet been definitely decided

Ut III L9aQ. lulS part OI Iu0 pan
has not yet been definitely decided
upon
The road will be called the Rap
City and Northern Inter-Urban and
will be financed by company incor-
porated at a valuation of two million
dollars, two hundred thousand of
shares with par value of ten dol
lars each. The plan is to dispose of
a sufficiently large block OF the stock
in Chicago and then to offer some for
sale in the Hills, especially to those
who live along the right-of-way, and
who will be OF course particularly
interested in such an enterprise. The
road will be equipped with the very
best rolling stock and the motive
power will be of the same kind as
that used on the New York and Chi
cago Electric Air Line, the great
trolley line now in process of con-
struction between these two great
cities.
1t is probable that the organiza-
ton will be completed within short
time, and the promoter of the enter
prise, S. R. Cleaver, of Chicago, is
now out in the irrigated region look
ing over the land and considering
the right-of-way and other questions
which must be decided upon. Asso-
ciated with him will be a number OF
the prominent business men of Vale
and Rapid City as the plan is to
make this a home line, so far as is
possible and to float the enterprise
largely with home capital. The
company's stock will not be bonded
and there will be no preferred stock.
The enterprise is great one, and
Mr.. Cleaver is confident that he will
carry it to successful completion.

Sioux Falls, S. D.. Oct. 3O.-South
Dakota's delegation in congress this
winter will ask that body to adopt
an invention by Charles P. Curlew,
a cigarmaker, of Sioux Falls, design
ed to save the post Office department

the department has sought a De-
vice that would do away with the
large amount of Irvine used for ty-
ing bundles of mail. Thus far moth
thing has been devised that has prov
ed satisfactory.

may be drawn taut. The wire coil
holds the string in place, and. be-
ing adjustable, distributes the wear
on the Irvine. Curlew says he has
used one model 400 times, and he is
sure one piece of string could be util-
lied thousands of times.

I'VE know that he is politician
OF great skill, VINO, while really 8
populist In fact, as he was formerl,
by political affiliation, has secured
control Of the machinery of the
democratic party. He advocates 8
great variety OF measures, which are
grotesquely inconsistent with the
principles OF Thomas Jefferson, which
would result in the complete aband-
onment of the doctrine that "That
government governs best which gov
ems least" and which would bring
about an all powerful centralized
government in Washington complete
ly destructive to state sovereignty.
Yet the disciples of Jefferson follow
him meekly and appear happy to
eat out of his hand. He has taken
the leadership of those elements of
the democratic party which wrecked
the second administration OF Mr..
Cleveland, and many of Mr.. Cleve-
lands friends and followers, made
of less stern material that that of
strong convictions and high cour-
age have attoned to the new leader.
1t appears probable. therefore, that
II the democratic party is put in
power with Mr.. Bryan as president,
he will be able to try in actual ad-
ministration and legislation the
views which he has expressed. In
the democratic party ere seems
to be no opinion except Mr. Bryan's
and where he leads the Itrty is sure
to follow; what he wis 9 to have
done the party is sure to undertake,
II it canes into power.
THE triumph of Bryan means the
sweeping away of all the protection
that American constitutions have
thrown about the rights of property,
the fruits OF enterprise and he lib
erty OF the Individual. 1t means that
II Mr.. Bryan has the opportunity t.
reconstitue the supreme court he will
make 1t the instrument of its own
destruction and an accomplish in
the surrender Of that judicial safe
guard against the momentary Unfit
ences of popular excitement, which
has been the chief element in the
security, the stability, and the prog
ress of the American republic.
What confidence will the bust
ness men of America have in ven
turing their capital in the risks of
production and trade with the shaa-
ow OF this great calamity looming
large on the horizon of the nations
future under the control of Mr.. Bry-

GREAT SPEECH BY ROOT.
.cretary of State Spoke For Taft in
New York.

:; ,cretary of State Spoke For Taft in
New York.
New York, Oct. 31.-At Durland's
Riding Academy tonight, Elihu Root,
secretary of state in President Roosa-
velt's cabinet delivered a great
speech for Taft and Sherman and
received wonderful ovation at the
hands OF his enthusiastic hearers.
Mr. Root stated that he believed that
Mr.. Bryans election to the. presi-
dency would be followed by general
and long continued business disaster;
that the recovery. now in progress
from the panic Of last year, would
stop; that production would be cur
tailed, many workmen thrown out
of employment. wages lowered, the
market for farm products and manu-
features reduced, and the income up
on investments OF private individ-
uals, of savings banks and insurance
companies, OF charitable and educa-
tional institutions, in great measure
cut off; and that long period OF
stagnation and distress would ensue,
such as we experienced between
l1893 and the election Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, in 1896.
~ cannot doubt" said eMr. Root
'.that the election. of Mr.. Bryan
would destroy the eontidenne neces
sary to the continuance OF. industrial
and commercial enterprises; and ]
think that his election would justl,
destroy confidence.

FIVE COUNTY SEAT coNrEsr :,
Lively 4pcal Issues in the South Da.
kOta CamDaipn.

Pierre. S. d., Oct. 29.-Since fer
ritorial days the question of count,
seat locations has been pretty well
fixed in the different counties of this
state. and to have contests in five
counties this fall is somewhat ont
of the ordinary for the present time,
and reminder of when many OF the
counties were struggling with that
momentous question in territorial
days. In Hutchinson county the Odd
village of Olivet, one of the Oldest
county seats in the state, Is fighting
to retain the privilege asked by the
railroad town of Parkston. The
railroads have left Olivet of their
calculations and the larger railroad
town wants it, but with the chances
that it will remain at Olivet.
In Charles Mix county Wheeler,
which as river town was selected
a quarter OF century ago, when
most of the county was Indian re-
serve and no railroads in the coun-
ty. will probably lose to Geddes, that
town getting upon the ballot after
four years petition and court con-
test. in which Platte, Geddes and
Lake Andes were fighting for pres
tige.
In WalwOrth county another viii
iage left to one side by the railroads
after a quarter of a century of the
honor will lose to Selby, new rail-
road town, which has secured place
on the ticket after four. years of liti-
cation.
West of the Missouri Gregory coun-
ty will try out the proposition of
moving from Fairfax to Herrick.
Fairfaz was selected when most of
the county was Indian reserve and
Herric!l, as one of the new "Rose-
bud" towns, is attempting to take
the honor.
In Lyman county Presho wants to
change the seat of government from
Oacoma, but in this they are tang
ed with the complications of a coun-
ty division proposition, with the re-
suit very doubtful.
TIC counties of Lyman and Butte
are wrestling with the division propo-
sition and in case the west end of
Lyman is cut off Murdo expects to be
the seat of government of the new
county of Jones. In Butte county if
they decide upon division it will
mean two new counties, In one of
which Lennon expects to secure the
honors, and in the other Camp Crook
believes it is rightly located to fill
the bill. But whatever the temper
airy location, if the division plan car
ries the new counties generally can
expect some lively times for few
years until they decide upon the
permanent location for their capt.

CHINA TO HONOR FLEET.
Great Preparation Made to Enter
tain American Seamen,


tain American Seamen.
Annoy, China. Oct. 27.-Prepara-
tions are now complete for the great
reception to be given to the American
fleet upon its arrival at Annoy two
days hence. Attempts have been
made by Chinese agitators to create
the impression among the populace
that the purpose of the fleets visit is
to seize Annoy and make If the basis
of operations in the comm war with
Japan. The reports have heen given
little credence and the chinese at
large will join in welco ling the
Americans. Several of tie agitators
who tried to manufacture anti-Ameri-
can sentiment have been arrested by
the Chinese officials and severely pun
ished, each receiving 1900 blows on
the bare back. This treatment has
effectually stopped the agitation.
The Chinese officials are more than
ever determined to make the visit
memorable in view of the drawing
closer of the friendly bonds between
America and China. They regard it
as great chance to show China's
appreciation of the keen interest TAX
en- by America in Chinese affairs and
the desire on the part of America to
solve the present Eastern questions,
and at the same time elevate China.
Two triumphal arches have been
erected, one costing $4,000 taels
(about $28.OO0). Expense has not
been spared on the decorating and
the providing of entertainment for
the visitors.
It Is expected that the feet will ar.
rive at Annoy Thursday, when 1t will
be received by Prince Pulan, repre-
senting the royal family; the Viceroy
of Fukien, the Governor of the prov
nice, the admiral and the commander
in chief Of the forces, the Taotal of
Annoy, Taotai Max and other minor
officials.
The fleet will be entertained with
feasts. fireworks. theatricals, visits
to the ancient temples, baseball and
!, rowing events, for which two silver
cups. each valued at $4,000, have
been presented. The city will be ell
aborately decorated and the visit VIII
