WHEN A MAN IS WELL DRESSED.
Smart Clothes Declared to Act as
Splendid Mental Tonic.

IF you would do yourself full jus
tice. dress we'll" This Il the advice
of well-known London specialist n
mental and nervous diseases. "A good
suit Of clothes" he says, "acts as
splendid tonic upon most of us.
THE mere fact Of being smartly
dressed is a strong mental stimulant-
and the man who is shabby and knows
It is often less capable than his we'll
dressed mental inferior.
ITO the average man shabby or i'll
fitting clothes are source Of con-
stant worry, which frets away his en-
ergy and takes the keener edge of
his wits.
4 most strongly condemn the prac-
tlce Of providing lunatics in public
asylums with limiting old clothes, for
the mentally afflicted when recover
ing his or her reason cannot but be
worried and upset at having to wear
what are very often grotesque cos
tunes.
THE general impression is, think,
a true one-that the man in dis
graceful hat, baggy-kneed trousers and
a shocking coat who can appear quite
self-possessed among a number Of
smartly-dressed people is either mil
lionaire or a man OF extraordinary
brain power.
Few men can get along successful
ly in life without the moral support Of
smart clothing"

FOUR OKLAHOMA COUNTIES
HAVE NO RAILROADS

Guthrie, Ok, Oct. 5.-A compilation of
the railroad assessments of the state by
counties, as shown by the records of the
state auditors Office, reveals the unexpect-
ed fact that LeFlore, county in the
southeastern part of the state. thinly
populated and lying for the most part in
mountainous district, has the highest
railroad valuation of any county in the
state. taking front rank with a total of
$5133,527. This condition is explained
by the fact that it is coal mining county
and the mining district is networked
with railroad tracks
The same condition of affairs puts
Pittsburg county in second place, with
valuation of $6.O17187. Oklahoma
City. which leads in its general wealth
comes a close third in railroads, with
$6,006.055. Lincoln and Garfield coun-
ties also come above above the $5.000,-
900 mark. Delaware comes last among the
counties which have any railroad property
at all to report, with S172,0SO. Four
counties of the state, Beaver, Cimanon,
Harper and Roger Mills, have no railroads
at all.

NOTED KEY MAN, WHO
PLAYED HISTORICAL
PART, PASSES AWAY
William Heiss, Of Sioux Falls,
Announced Victory Of Mon
itor Over Merrimac.

Sioux Falls, s. D.. March flowing
to the notable part he played in events
OF historical Importance during the
dark days of the war of the rebellion
and since that time, the death OF VIM.
IL. Heiss, sr., which has just taken
place at the family residence in Sioux
Falls, is worthy of more than passing
mention.
Mr.. Heiss was born on July 2S, 1926,
at Philadelphia. and therefore was
nearly 81 years old at the time OF his
death. After marrying, himself and
wife took up their residence at Brook
lyn, n. Y. which was their home until
they came to Sioux Falls in 1887. The
deceased was the oldest of a family or
nine children and started out for nm
self early in life. Ii was in the early
DAYS of the telegraph that he o up
this line OF business, first becoming a
telegraph operator and then advancing
until he became at different times the
superintendent OF the American Peo-
pies" the Magnetic the Western
Union, and international Ocean tele-
graph companies.
All the breaking out of the civil war
he was superintendent Of the Southern
telegraph system and endured many
hardships in making his escape from
the Confederates and seeking Satety i'll
the North. In 1862 he was made assist
ant manager of the United States milf
tary telegraph, and as such had charge
of the laying of the submarine cable
across Chesapeake bay TO Rock river,
at which point he made a connection
with Fortress Monroe. and by work
ing night and day completed the work
just in time to send out a message to
the country announcing the victory OF
the Monitor over the Merrimac.
As superintendent of the Information
al Ocean Telegraph company he had
charge of the construction of many
land and ocean lines, among them being
a cable line from Key West to Havana
de Cuba, this being the first long ocean
cable aid without foreign assistance.
He was consulting engineer to Cyrus
Field at the time of the laying of the
first Atlantic cable.
Mr.. Heiss was just entering the Ford
theater at Washington when John
Wilkes Booth assassinated President
Lincoln, and it was by his order that
all Geographic communication out of
Washington was cut off inside of 10
minutes after the tragedy.

HOUSE FAMINE ON
AT GREGORY, S. D;
RENTS ARE HIGHER
One Room Shacks Bring $40
to SIS Per Month"; Town
Is Ra-distriCteG.

Gregory, S. D., March l1-Since March
[ immigration into this section has been
unusually heavy. One day last week
d special train containing emigrant
cars arrived and was all unloaded at
Gregory.
All though the number of new build
tngs erected in Gregory during the lat
ter part of 1907 eclipsed all records, the
demand for buildings now seems TO be
greater than ever before. In fact an
actual house famine" exists. With
the acute shortage of buildings rents
have gone soaring. Many families are
forced TO pay $40 TO SIS per month for
One room Shacks.
There are many building lots which
could have been bought two years ago
for $40 or $50 that now with the erec-
lion OF a cheap building have a monthly
rental value of more than the original
purchase price.
The high rents will undoubtedly slim
ulate building and indications are that
the building season of 1908 Will be the
greatest in the history Of Gregory. The
demand is acute for at least one more
large hotel, many business blocks and
innumerable new dwellings.
The city has recently been redistricted
so that hereafter there will be five
wards and a corresponding number of
Councilmen, instead of three.
