THREE NEW LINES
FOR MILWAUKEE
Road To Begin Operations On
Three ExtertionS i'm So.
Dakota

Aberdeen, April 24.-The infor-
nation given out in Chicago dis
patches to the News yesterday, to
the effect that the Milwaukee road
is preparing to invade the territory
of James J. Hill by running lines
through North Dakota was officially
confirmed this morning when a
party of officials of the company
passed through Aberdeen to Wax
pala. the first station on the Pacific
coast extension west of the Missouri
river. where they left the train and
started with teams and automobiles
across the country to select routes
for at least three branch lines.
The party consists of A. J. Ear
ling, president of the Milwaukee sys-
tenn; E. w. McKenna vice president;
E. D. Sewoll assistant to The presi-
dent. H. F. Hunter, general agent
of the road, all of Chicago and Mr.
Mcintosh, of the firm Of Mcintosh
Bros. of Milwaukee. head contrac-
tors for the Milwaukee.
The party left Wakpala today for
ten days trip through the Dickin-
son, N. D. country. Returning to
Wakpala, they will take a similar
trip southwestward through the
Belle Fourche country.
The trip of the officis and the
contractor is taken for the purpose
of observing the lay of the land and
to select the routes for the proposed
branch lines. As soon as the routes
are decided upon construction work
will begin and will be pushed to
completion in time for the opening
of the Standing Rock and Cheyenne
River reservations next fall.

Insurance Statements
From The H,gbmore Bulletin

One of the misleading criticisms
Of the sc1te insu ancc department,
often made by certain newspapers,
is that statements are held up to
near the close of the year for the
purpose of influencing the political
course of newspapers. The false
hood Of this criticism is apparent
when one understands the law
governing these publications.
The statute requires that each
company shall annually publish it's
financial statement, under the direc-
tion of the commissioner of insur-
ance, in one newspaper in each
judicial circuit in which said COM
pany shall have an agent. The
statements are usually filed with the
department in February and the
commissioner, by hard work of the
force he is allowed to keep, IS able
to begin sending out statements for
publication in April.
The regular work of this kind
generally continues until July.
Then later in the year a company
which may have had agents in only
two or three circuits appoints agents
in other circuits and it then becomes
the duty of the commissioner to pub
lish in those circuits, so that few
statements continue along till the
close of the year, and the commits
sioner cannot possibly avoid it and
perform his duty.
Then it is not infrequent that new
companies are admitted to the state
in the fall of the year, and the law
requires their statement to be at
once published and this accounts for
the appearance of statements occas-
sionally as late as November. 1t
may be little late for news, but it
furnishes the information never be-
fore given to the public. The news
papers which roast the commission
er most on this score well know the
falsehood they utter, but it serves
their purpose best to defame and
discredit.

Athletic Prospects

Again our athletic time is here.
Happiest season for us in the year,
And great is our longing to enter
track meets,
To win if we may or suffer defeats.
For pole vaulters we have in that
line
Salty and Beasom, also Greeves, who
is fine,
They will try their best to get first
place,
But bravely, too, defeat they will
face.
When you look for jumpers you will
find,
That we havea few of the proper
kind.
For broad or high, he always leads
Either Thomas, Erb, Johnson or
Greeves.
For the dashes we have in that line
A few who are most extra fine.
They ii have to fairly spin around
the curve
To beat Miller, Salty, Greeves or
Erb.
For long runs we have many to sell
Shaw and Missouri have speeds
that tell,
And Thomas, Calkins, and Greeves
are there,
Always ready to run race that is
fair.
For the weights there is Carroll to
beat,
Also Beasom, Erb and Bard to
All of these have records of the past;
And those who beat them must
move fast.
My athletic friends twill not dc to
think,
By the prospects laid out in printers S
ink;
That you are the only ones, and
can't be beat,
For remember that last year you
met defeat.
When going to Aberdeen that day,
You all felt ever so fine and gay;
Calkins whistled the first lap of the
mile.
But ah, how quickly he changed
that smile.
If a winning team you desire,
That any high school would admire.
1t will have to be team that works,
One that trains steadily, not by
jerks.
By A. Common Mud-Dauber.

Obituary
Cornell!

Chas. Ernest Terryberry died
Easter morning, April II, 1909, at
the homo of his father near Meri-
den, Iowa. Death was caused by
heart trouble. from which he had
been a patient sufferer since nine
years Of age, the last attack coming
on at Miller, S. D., where he was
assistant principal of the high school.
He was born at Grafton, Wis,
April 6, 1880. His early life was
spent on the farm. In the year
1886, he. with his parents. came to
Cherokee county, Iowa. But his
ambition led him from the farm,
and accordingly he soon finished the
common schools. He was a teacher
in the country school for several
years and then went tho the Iowa
State Normal at Cedar Falls. where
he graduated June 10. 1908, with
rank at the head of his class, there
being only two others that equaled
him in the merit of his degree.
Although always in poor health he
hau an intense dasire to gain KNOW
ledge. He had one ambition and
that was to be a blessing to his
fellow men, and especially to the
young men. This is why he worked
so hard for an education, aud those
who knew him best in the school
room declare that the whole motive
of his teaching was to upllft the
lives of his pupils.
In the year 1900 he was converted
and joined the M. E. church at
Meriden. Iowa, remaining so until
his recent joining of the M. E.
church at Miller, S. D.
He was an earnest christian, being
at the time of his death assistant
superintendent of the S. S., men,
Der and worker in the Epworth
League, a member of the choir, and
teacher of the Young mems class
in the Sunday-school. We cannot
understand why ne should be taken
from us, when his life was so prom
ising of good. But the Great Hand
that is over all wanted him and we
had to say, 'Thy will, not ours, be
DONE"
He leaves father at Cherokee,
Ia, and a sister. Mrs r. H. Andrews
at Miller. S. D., and many relatives
and friends to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held in
the M. E. church at Meriden, and
conducted by Rev G. R. Gilbert, of
Merrill, former pastor and personal
friend of the deceasee.

WILL NOT STOP THE GAME.

We admit that the case against foot
ball is a pretty strong one. Never
theless, as we have asserted before
the deaths and injuries that have re-
suited will not stop the game in its
bid for popularity.
Football will continue to be played
This year no less than twenty-seven
college or schoolboy players have
,ither been killed in games or have
died this year directly as the result
of injuries sustained. This number is
unprecedented in the history of col
lege football, and with NOR than a
score of players tossing today upon
hospital cots, lowering between life
and death and the season not yet
fully over, the number is certain to
be substantially increased before the
end of 1909. That the deaths from
football a year ago will be doubled
in 1909 appears to be a foregone con-
