Two more great railroad systems-the

Illinois Central is now putting in the talk
Ing instruments throughout Iowa and the
Northwestern has made arrangements to
install a complete telephone dispatching
system from Chadron to long Pine In Ne

The telephone method of handling trains
Is Of special value in sections such as that

The year a great many OF the tations con-

person to obtain stock cars or other freight
accommodations much more rapidly than

At many of these sldings local freight

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The red man

To save the Indian race from extinction

ways of the white man is the task which

When the white man undertook to civillze

1000 per annum. OF all the tribes, none
seem to be so susceptible as the Sioux
