Huron, S. D.. Oct. 23.-Fifteen
civil engineers of the c. e. N. w. r.
r. Co.. passed through the city last
evening on their way to Iroquois,
where they will start a survey for a
new railroad branch to run from
Iroquois to Doland. connecting with
the main line at that point. These
engineers have just finished the sur
vey from Hitchcock to Onida, and
construction work upon that branch
has already commenced.
When in conversation with Supt.
Moulton. no further and definite in
formation could be gotten than that
the Onida- Hitchcock branch will be
completed as fast as weather condi.
tons will permit.
Relative to this latest branch, the
Iroquois-D oland railroad nothing
defnate could be had except that
engineers will find a public highway

LABORERS HAVE
NARROW ESCAPE
Peculiar Accident at Huron Near
ly Costs Seven Lives

Huron. Oct. 26. -Yesterday after
noon a huge water tank used to
supply the Model Steam laundry.
tumbled from the second story of
the building into the engine pit, in
which seven men were working on
the new boiler.
Without a seconds warning the
mass of timbers, iron STAYS and &C.
ment toppled over from it's high
altitude dumping its 1000 gallons of
water and broken ribs into the base
ment below. The laundry had just
installed a new boiler. in its partial
ly completed addition to the works
proper and were using the engine
for the first time yesterday when
the accident occurred. Seven men
were employed around the boiler,
and it seems almost increditable that
any of them should have escaped.
The pit was full IF water, planks and
cement yet all escaped with slight
bruises except Pete Nelson, who
came out with a rather badly bruis-
ed Uranium.

STATE FIGHTS
TUBERCULOSIS
Sanatarium For That Purpose
Located at Custer

Custer. Oct. 26.-The sight for
the tuberculosis sanitarium has
been chosen by the state board
which has been in session here, and
the institution will be located about
two and a half miles from the town.
The city had agreed to donate 16C
acres; but the board thought this
entirely too small and decided that
they would need at least 1000 acres.
They also suggested that the bust.
ness men of Custer take steps to
secure the necessary tract of land
from the government in the shape
of a grant from the forestry re-
serve. AS a comparatively small
appropriation vas made by the leg
islature for the institution. an ap-
preciably larger sum will be asked
at the meeting Of the next legisla-
.hre.

Opie Read is a parsonage of fame
upon two continents they read his
books, laugh at his humor and ap-
plaud his plays in Merry England
as much as we do here in America.
He has been a newspaper writer, a
novelist, a playwriter. and a lee
turer for many years and is known
and loved all over our country, with
which he is as familiar as many of us
are with Hand county. He says
that this is his last lecture tour for
at least ten years, as he has signed a
contract with a great theatrical
combine to write one play a year,
for that length of time. They are
to give him $4,000 a year, and he
thinks if he tries hard that he can
manage to live on that-that is, he
and Mrs Read and the little Reads.
In the meantime he is taking a sort
of farewell trip through the west.
Hear him at the opera house next
Tuesday evening November 2.

Equal Suffrage Campaign

Mrs Helen Baker, of Spokane. one
of the most prominent suffrage
leaders in this country. was the
guest of Gov. Wesley at Pierre last
week. who is an outspken advocate
of the cause. Mrs Baker is in the
state for the purpose of helping the
local leaders start their campaign.
which promises to be an interesting
one. The Federation of Women's
clubs have taken up the work. and
the ladies expect to have the next
legislature properly fixed" before
they go to Pierre.
The movement is undoubtedly a
growing one both in this country
and England. where it is needed
much more than here on account of
the unwholesome labor conditions
existing there. During the last
legislature the women at Pierre
and worked very hard to have the
matter referred to the people for a
vote, but were unsuccessful.
However the ladies have not lost
heart over their uphill work. and
with the concentrated effort they
are planning for the next year. who
knows but that mere man" may
vet be compelled to take a back seat
in the arena of politics.. We will
state right here that the Press will
endeavor to deliver its votes for the
good of the cause when the time
comes.

center an eve with the words, Keep
your eye on South Dakota"

button on the market has been met

the great Indian reservations were
to be distributed from the hands of

of Aberdeen. The crowd had grown
to a mob by the time Judge Witten.
superintendent of the land opening,
arose in his seat and making his way
to the front of the big platform
made a few appropriate remarks
concerning the registration just
closed.
Two men then took the big cans
and holding them so that the con-

them over the entire canvas covering

of envelopes and he placing his arms
about their shoulders introduced
them to the people assembled, who
to show their appreciation of their
services applauded vigorously. The
Judge spoke to them and each bent
down and picked up one of the
brown papers at their feet, and hold

when they handed the papers to Mr.
Witten, who opened them and read
first the name of William J.. Engel.

name of Calvin Bowdry of Bismarck.
