AFTER RAILROAD.

That the federal government pro-
poses to hold the railroads to a strict
obedience to the national laws, even
those of an apparently trivial nature,
is shown by the nature of a suit in
stituted in the United States court at
Sioux Falls by direction of the attor-
ney general of the United States. The
government is the plaintiff in the ac-
ton, while the defendant is the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific Railway
company. The railroad company is
charged with having, on its lines in
South Dakota, violated the provisions
of the act of congress approved May
80, 1908, commonly known as the ash
pan law. 1t is alleged in the COM
plant in the action that the railway
company on certain dates permitted
the use on it's lines of locomotives
equipped with ashpans which were so
constructed that they could not be
dumped or emptied unless employees
went under the engines, this being a
violation of the ashpan law. The gov
eminent asks that it he awarded a
judgment in the SUI Of 5000 against
the railroad company for alleged vio-
lation Of the law.

YOUNG WOMEN LOSE LIVES.

The news of a triple drowning at
BurtOnn crossing, OF the Cheyenne
river, about 100 miles northwest Of
Pierre has been received. The victims
were Misses Blanche Atwood, Sadie
Turner and Eta Aldrich. The women,
with Frank Wagner as driver of the
rig, were returning to their home
steads near Marcus, Meade county, af-
ter a picnic trip in the bad lands south
of Philip, and were fording the Chey-
river when a wall Of water from
the clOudburst in the Black Hills a
few days before swept down the
stream, rolling the rig along the stones
the bottom of the stream. Wagner
was saved by clinging to the lines
and being pulled out by the team after
the rig had broken loose. The girls
all drowned.
The body of Miss Aldrich was first
to be recovered. n relatives near
Spencer, Iowa, were notified. The body
Of Miss Atwood vas recovered soon
after, but at last reports that Of Miss
had not been found.

TO OPEN

A Sioux Falls dispatch says it is
expected that within the mex three
or four weeks the republicans will
open state headquarters in Sioux Falls
preliminary to opening and Waging an
aggressive campaign. No efforts will
be spared to carry .he election in
November by the largest possible ma
jority. To a certain extent the deme
cratic state campaign has already
been opened, Chauncey |. Wood of
Rapid City, the democratic nomin e
for governor, having a few days ago
made the opening address of the cam
paign. But it is not likely that he
will continue actively in the field IN
til the democrats open state head
QUARTS, which will be some weeks in
the future. The bulk of the campaign
on the part Of both the republicans
and democrats will be waged during
the months of September and October,
and up to the election in November,
although some preliminary campaign
ing will be done during the latter
part of August.
There are evidences that the CON
sentative leaders Of both the porgres-
sive and stalwart factions have fully
adjusted their differences, and in the
future will be found fighting shoulder
ITO shoulder in the cause of republican
ism. There seems to be a desire on
the part of many Of the leaders OF
beth factions to throw overheard the
radical element in both factions and
build a new organization on cOnserva
tive but up to date lines. One of the
first steps in what appears to be the
carrying out of this plan vas the re
cent turn down" Of r. o. Richards OF
Huron, at the republican state con
vention, when by a large majority the
delegates to the convention defeated

AN INQUIRY STARTED.

States Attorney A. II. Smith Of Wal
worth county has started an inquiry
into the possible existence Of a com
bine.among lumber dealers at lie Beau.
For some time the residents Of the
town have claimed an agreement to
maintain high prices existed among
the lumber and fuel dealers of the
town. and the matter was finally
brought to the attention OF the states
attorney, and the Imperial Elevator
company and the Hagna Lumber COM
pany were hauled into court. Con-
siderable testimony was introduced
tending to show that lumber prices
were considerably higher at lie Beau
than at any of the other towns where
similar freight rates prevailed.
1t was also shown that for the con-
structiOn OF a tvo-story building 40
by 60 feet in dimension the bids OF
the lie Beau dealers exceeded by two
thousand dollars the bid Of an outside
firm for the same material.

metal TO build and equip railroads and
factories and the fuel to operate mills

rectly, these great industries are alb

Progress in agriculture demands

Not by science alone, but by every
science that deals with principles fun

Every science that can contribute
