Presidents Proclamation on Rosebud
Opening Expected in May

Dallas News: There is no let-up in
the work of railroad grading west
Many outfits now employed between
Dallas and Colome have already
moved further up the line or will do
so within week or ten days. Cham
berlain and Peak, one of the largest
outfits on the job moved Monday to
Winner, and on Tuesday morning
commenced on the work of grading
miles 10, 20 and 81. This tract is
through the town of Winner and one
mile west f. Lamoreau, who has
miles IS and 10, will move in a few
days and their camp will be just east
of Winner, and l.. Lamoreau, who has
miles Is and IA, will move in about ten
days and establish his camp near the
Brondon Springs. The intervening
tracts will be taken up as soon as the
work on the contract between Dallas
and Colome is completed.
Word has reached Dallas from a
very authoritive source that the pres
idents proclamation for the opening
of the Rosebud and Pine Ridge reser-
walton is expected in the early spring
in May and that the registration will
be held some time during the month
of July and that it is the purpose of
the Northwestern railroad to push the
work clear through to Carter as rap
idly as possible so as to be in readi-
ness for that business when the OPEN
ing days are reached. In this opening
the Milwaukee road will be a strong
competitor with the Northwestern, as
their road to the north of Trip county
comes within two miles of the reser-
walton to be opened and it is reason
able to suppose that the Northwestern
will do everything possible to protect
its interests, and this could be done in
no other way better than the early
completion of this extension and get
its roadbed in condition for the large
traffic which awaits it.

Those Who Visited Carlson Show Here
Tell of Their Trim.


The Stallion and Jack News The
members of the Commercial club of
Norfolk courteously invited the gradu-
ates of Graham's Scientific Breeding
school of Kansas City, Mo-, all of
whom are breeders and stallion or
jack owners, to a social evening at the
Elks' club, where they were regally
entertained. The members of the club

full in so doing, An excellent supper
was served, to which full justice was
done.
Several hours were passed in ami.
mated conversation and interchange of
ideas, which proved extremely inter
esting, as twenty-seven states of the
union and Old Mexico were represent
ed by practical stockmen, all of whom
had travelled great distances to at
tend the breeding school and then con-
tinued their journey to Norfolk, Neb.,
to meet the man of the hour, G. l..
Carlson, and attend his lectures on and
of breeding.
The worthy secretary of the club,
Mr.. Pasewalk, in an excellent impro-
vised speech, welcomed the guests
and reviewed Mr.. Carlson's system of
scientific breeding from the CONNER
cial standpoint. He clearly pointed
out the many commercial advantages
which had been achieved locally by the
adoption of the capsule system.
Mr.. Killian and several other promi
nent members of the club spoke on
the same subject and warmly congrat
ulated Mr.. Carlson on the success of
his system, which has done so much
only in that particular district, but all
over the United States.
Mr. Pasewalk asked the visitors in
attendance, practically all members
of the Scientific Breeding school of
Kansas City, to give their opinions on
DAILY, the breeder of the state of
Coahiula, Mex, who journeyed from
that republic to attend the school, was
asked to make the first talk. Mr.. DAILY
was one of the most interesting men,
bers of the school, being managing
partner in a ranch of 10000 acres
in Old Mexico. He is a member of the
Royal Agricultural society of England,
has had experience in breeding in Ire
land, his birthplace, in New Zealand,
Argentine and Chile. On the hacienda
Santa Anita" on which he is now To-
Gated, there are LOO breeding mares,
81 jacks, mostly imported, of which
2l are in service, stations and 1900
mules Knowing these things of Mr..
DAILY, his talk, which follows, was all
listened to with the greatest interest:

Hay Already Hiuh.

Niobrara Tribune: In many sec.
tions of the west there will be but lit
tie hay this year, and in some places
hay is selling for from SIS to $25 a
ton. There are some fields in this
county where the yield of corn will be
light, and these could be cut for fodder
and make valuable feed. In this way
farmers of this vicinity would be able
to dispose of more hay at fancy prices
Some of the pastures are short and
stock will need dry feed earlier this
year than usual. The man who has
not enough rough feed to winter his
stock will make money by disposing
of enough stock so that he will have
no trouble in wintering the balance.

AN OPERATOR DROPPED AN co."
Now a Clothing Salesman Who Want
ed to Borrow $4,000 Sues.


New York Sept. 6.-The alleged
omission of cipher from a telegram
in which the amount of $4,000 APP
peared, has brought upon the Postal
Telegraph company suit for $l25,00O
damages. Henry NORTH, formerly in
the clothing business at 124l Broad
way, has begun an action for that
amount against the company in the
supreme court.
Moritz declares that when about to
open his store at that address, he
negotiated with Alfred, Decker &
Cohn, in Chicago, for a loan of $10-
OOO The Chicago people replied, ac-
cording to the complaint, that they
were ready to advance him the
money when needed.
However, when he called upon them
for the $4,000, they produced he says.
a telegram showing that he had ask
ed for $1,000 only. He declares he
made an investigation and found that
the operators had dropped a cipher
in the transmission of the message,
the telegram reading for only 81 900.
Because of this, he alleges, he failed
in business, and has been otherwise
damaged to the extent of $l25,OOO,

on the back of the blank used for
kilograms frees it from all RESPONSE
bility.

Spouse to the senator's Introductory
address Colonel Roosevelt gave him a
splendid endorsement. The former
presidents remarks, as reported in the
Lincoln Journal, were as follows:
81 am particularly pleased to be
introduced by Senator Burkett," said
the colonel, because he was one of
the men on whom | especially relied
while | was president, both while he
was in the house and in the senate.
On one occasion he paid a tribute to
me which may have been entirely I'M
merited, in which he described what
the typical American public servant
must be. He said In the great
struggle of life he (the good Amer
ican) must be prepared to take the
side of the man rather than of the
dollar. Old time methods in politics,
old time ideals of governmental duty
and prerogative are relegated to the
junk shop of political antiquities. No
man who is skeptical in his own mind
of the righteousness of the advanced
ground that the American people have
taken socially or morally can have
their confidence. No man who is fear
full of popular rule, or is more afraid
of the peoples oppression of predatory
wealth with law than of its oppression
of the people without law is eligible
to popular esteem
In my own case" Colonel Roose-
welt continued, "all l can say is that |
have endeavored to live up to that
description and that l was able to ac-
complish what l did accomplish in
Washington only because of the way
in which | was backed by men like
Senator Burkett, and as we have a
guest from Iowa present, let me say,
also, like Senator Deliver"

A School for Carter.

Carter News: That Carter will have
school this fall is now an assured
fact At meeting held at Gilkeson
Miller's store, the plans for the or
ganization were made. The township
school board, which is composed of
Otto Schamber, William Byler and j.
h. Cole, met with a number of our
public spirited citizens and the two
bodies came to an agreement in a
jiffy. 1t was the opinion of all that
Carter needs school this fall and
needs it badly, so those present at the
meeting did not lose a great deal of
time on that point, so the next thing
taken up was the leasing of building
for school purposes, the construction
of such a building being out of the
question at the present time, because
Carter township already has school
building, and the township is bonded
to the amount permitted by law.

excepting II OUT

Newman Grove Reporter: Keep it
out of the paper" is the cry which the
local newspaper publisher daily hears.
To oblige often costs considerable,
though the party who makes the re-
quest thinks the granting scarcely
worth saying thank you" for. A
newspaper is a peculiar thing in the
public's eye. The newsgatherer is
stormed at because he gets hold of
one item and is abused because he
does not get another. Young men, and
often young women, as well as older
persons, perform acts which become
legitimate items for publication, and
then rush to the newspaper Office and
beg the editor not to notice their es-
capades. The next day they condemn
the same paper for not having pub
lished another part doing the same
thing they were guilty of, forgetting
apparently, their late visit to the print
ing office.

Creighton Raises License.

Creighton News: The city council
passed a new occupation ordinance
last Monday night which will prove to
be of considerable Importance. The
principal feature is the raising of the
saloon occupation tax from $500 to
$1,000, which with the state tax means
1900 for saloon license in Creigh-
ton in the future. 1t is understood the
vote was unanimous on the PROPOSE
ton. This is as it should be, the
Creighton saloon license having been
lower than any other town of it's size
in this part of the state, and there is
no reason why they should not be
raised to at least level with others.
A heavy tax was also imposed on itin-
Grant doctors, shows and outside bust
ness Of every description. The coun-
ell is to be commended for their action
and it appears to receive the hearty
approval of the business men in gen
eral.
