STREET ACCIDENTS.

Tho automobiles cannot be blamed
for all the accidents IN the streets. or
even a majority OF them in some
places. The annual report Of street
accidents caused by traffic In London
shows that the automobile. although
equalling In numbers the horse We
hicies and vastly exceeding these in
mileage. was responsible for a consid-
srably smaller number OF accidents
than the older form OF vehicle.
A favorable report also comes from
the coroner's bureau in New York. or

biles-the latter claims the least num-

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.


Just at this moment some Of the
railroad magnates view with alarm
rather than point with pride. We are
told that the country is going to the
bow-wows at a rapid pace, and that
gaunt famine will soon stalk abroad
over the land.
All this because the government
has enjoined the western trunk lines
from boosting the freight rates.
wall street has taken up the cry
and a panic is threatened unless the
department OF justice is called of by
the President.
There is no need for uneasiness on
the part Of the people. Another Wall
street panic brought about for the
purpose OF coercing the government
would put an everlasting crimp in
Wall street itself.
The country is exceedingly pros
porous I'm spite Of the fact that prices
are high. Generally speaking, condi-
tons could not be much better. II
the railroads are allowed TO put on
the screws. prices Will go higher and
the country will soon reach the ex-
plosion point. There must be limit
to food prices. wages and freight
rates.
It is claimed by Slosson Thompson.
head OF the railway publicity bureau.
that the roads are $3.50. 100000 to the
bad on account Of operations OF the
last two years. It Is for the purpose
OF giving out such figures as these
that all the big corporations employ

roads have fallen behind any such
sum. Leaving out the watered stock.

good. Leaving the water in, hand

Was a Black Hills Man.

1t was in the Black Hills. ten m les
of Deadwood, that the late Thomas F.
Walsh, of Colorado, the multimillion-
aire, laid the foundation for his great
wealth. Mr.. Walsh came to the Hills
overland from Cheyenne in 1875, hav-
ing numerous adventures with Indians
on the road, and arrived in Custer City
where shortly afterwards the Indians
stampeded the ponies of the party. A
few months later Walsh came to Dead
wood and then went to the Two Bit
district near Deadwood, where he
started as mine carpenter and made
his home. He was then a poor man
and worked at his trade by the day.
Walsh became associated with the late
Jimmie O'Connel in some prospects
and together they developed, as their
small means would allow, the Anchor
Hill mine in that section. Two years
later Walsh sold out his interest in the
property, receiving a few thousand
dollars, and returned to Colorado,
where he invested in mines that gave
him his great wealth. The old cabin
that Walsh used for a home while in
Galena is still standing.

SOUTH DAKOTA NEWS

will learn with regret that George w.
Snow, of Springfield, has decided to
leave South Dakota permanently, hav-
ing arranged 70 move to Seattle, Wash.
and make that thriving city his future
home. He was one of the pioneer resi-
dents of what now is South Dakota,
and since statehood served two terms
as lieutenant governor. On several
occasions he was candidate for nomi-
nation to the Office of governor on the
republican ticket, and would have been
successful had it not been for his loca-
ton, in being necessary in making up
the tickets to select men from other
part of the state. Mr.. Snow has
lived at Springfield since the town was
only little frontier hamlet, and has
since been prominently identified with
the growth of that and other parts of
the state. A shrewd business man, he
has succeeded in accommodating a large
property, and this he now offers for
sale together with his beautiful resi-
dence at Springfield.

Railroad Changes Hands

Despite denials made by officials who
have since severed their connection
with the South Dakota Central railroad
it is practically certain that the Mime
apolis and St. Louis road has acquired
control of that line. 1t is expected
that announcement of several changes
will be made within the next few days.
The South Dakota Central is dis
charging its mechanics and other
employees in the shops at Sioux Falls.
and it is reported on good authority
that the shops and headquarters of the
road will be moved to Watertown in
the near future. This is said to be
part of the plan for important extern
tons which will be carried out by the
Minneapolis and st. Louis as the con-
trolling interest in the South Dakota
Central. The St. Louis has sought an
easy way to connect up with Spencer,
Ia, and the purchase of the local rail-
road will enable it to carry out it's
plans and give the st. Louis direct con-
nection at very little cost.
