But let us think for a moment of
another fact which ought to have
weight with all who are interested in
the moral welfare of our town. 1t is
this: a good school in our midst is the
best contribution we can make to our
future citizenship. Mental training is
not the only result of a good education.
Based upon christian principles, as the
course in our public schools is, its OBJ
ject is impart moral, as we'll as mental
instruction. Our churches have their
literary schools, and rich men give
freely of their wealth for the support of
schools and colleges; and in so doing,
they believe, and rightly so, that they
are doing christian service. suppose
that all good citizens would stand with
one accord against the approach of an
evil institution into our town; because
of the ruinous affect it would have upon
our young people. We would also
guard them against any evil practice or
sinful amusement-and that is alright;
but the question is, have we done our
whole duty toward these young people,
when we stop here? Does not our
example before them, and our debt to
them, call for something more than a |
mere negative righteousness? Certainly +,
it does. 1t is not enough to say, Thou |
shalt not" we must also say, Thou |

follow Immediately, and that the
company had put it up to him to
hustle the work to an early compile
ton, meaning that the work would be
carried on during the winter months.
The site of the depot will be good
one, standing as it will across Main
street, tie front of which will be
made of pretty architectural de-
sign, and it will be a vast credit to
that portion of the city.
Having waited so long for the
depot, the citizens of Mitchell and
the hundreds of visitors coming in
here from surrounding towns are
highly gratified at the definite step
the company has taken in the depot
matter.
1t is expected that the depot will
be completed and ready for business

milwaukee co. WILL BUILD
superintendent Collins Announced
That the Company Would Build
Its New Depot.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul railway company will build it's
new passenger station in this city.
The authoritative announcement
was made in the city Saturday by
Superintendent Collins, who made his
word good by setting force of men
to work to tear up the switch tracks
lying north of the old passenger sta
tion.
Mitchell people have been waiting
about three years for the company to
make the start in that direction. and
they are at last to see it's hopes and
dreams realized in a fine structure
located at the south end of Main
street.
A year ago Commissioner Ness, of
the Commercial Committee, COM
menced correspondence with Second
Vice President McKenna urging the
company to see the necessity of er-
Getting the depot at once, and through
his efforts, backed up by the COM
mittee, the company has definitely
decided to begin operations. Mr..
Ness enlarged upon the very poor
conditions surrounding the present
depot and the lack of accommoda-
tions for passengers. His work has
been consistent and insistent on this
line with good results.
Superintendent Collins was in con-
ference with Commissioner Ness this
morning and showed him the plans
for the building. The writer also
saw the plans and they indicate that
the depot will be worthy the efforts
of the company. The building will
be 200 feet long and 26 feet wide,
having compartments for a general
waiting room, smoking room, lunch
room, lunch counter, baggage room,
express room and express Office, and
a fine room for the ticket office,
where Agent Shelby will hold forth,
and several rooms for Offices.
The building will be erected of
stories high. The company has de-
cided to place the building across
the lower end of Main street, just
west of the elevator building, which
has been ordered removed to make
room for the new structure. The
street will lead into the building
where passengers can be deposited
in the waiting rooms, and there will
be no tracks to cross before entering
the new depot, for which the public
will be thankful.
There will be plenty of room be-
tween the depot and the first track,
35 feet being allowed for this space,
and the conditions in that immediate
VICINITY will not be so congested.
superintendent Collins said that in
all probability an umbrella shed
would be added to the south side OF
the depot covering out to the track
to act as a shelter in time of rain
when passengers are alighting from
the trains.
Mr.. Collins said that the depot
would cost about $4,000, and for
that sum he considered mighty
fine depot would be erected. He put
the men to work at once in removing
the sidetracks north Of the depot

Under the knowledge gained by ex-
