A New Town Is Now on Map

Agar is the name of the latest
town to claim attention in South
Dakota. 1t is on the new line the
Northwestern railway is building
from Blunt to Gettysburg-mid-
way between Onida and Gettys-
burg, in Sully county. Six weeks
ago stakes marking the lots and
streets were the only objects visi-
ole on the plat of ground, where
today stands the hustling little viii
lage of Agar. Building material
has to be hauled by teams from
Gettysburg and consequentlybuild-
ing operations have not progressed
as rapidly as they otherwise would
had it been possible to get lumber
ETC., to the contractors as fast as
they could use it. Yet today there
is bank, newspaper office, two
general stores, hardware store, no.
tel, meat market, two lumber
yards, blacksmith shop and livery
barn. As soon as the railroad is
finished and will haul freight there
will be large number of resi-
dences, as we'll as several business
blocks erected. One thing noticed
is the substantial way in which all
of the buildings are being built,
none of the put up in one day
buildings, so noticeable in most
new towns, are to befound in Agar.
The location of Agar is an ideal
one. One of the best farming dis
tricts in Sully county surrounds
the town and on account of its easy
access from the north, west and
east, its business territory will
cover a large scope of country.
There are openings for most any
kind of business. The prices of
lots are reasonable. The townsite
company will only sell residence
lots to those who will agree to erect
residences within reasonable
length of time, thus doing away
with the spectators.

Our Schools and Churches

Without our schools and church
es the human family would degen-
crate into race of savages. There
is not hardly boy that has any
stuff in him but what has to have
his dad or his ma or the school
teacher after him from the time
he is big enough to walk until he
is twenty one years of age. To
make anything out OF boy it
takes constant teaching, talking,
training, to keep him from going
ker plunk to the devil. Bad boys
are like pestiferous weeds, they
grow and thrive without any at
tention whatever. Men are only
boys grown up, but they will nev-
know what nuisances they were
until they have raised one them
selves, and one boy in the family
now is about all most families want
to monkey with. 1t is too bad,
but looking around Philip it is true.

he had had the horse on his place
for over twelve years and could
put it any place to work. In this
respect the animal was a valuable
one even though it might not have
brought a large sum of money if
sold. Last Sunday a party con-
sisting of T, II. Morris, Peter
Hesselman and his son-in-law, Mr..
Wiltz, were fishing near the out
let of Cedar Creek, and out of
curiosity when tired of fishing they
started out to inspect the hills in
that vicinity. They had not gone
far when they discovered quite a
hole in the ground that was about
twelve to fifteen feet deep. Upon
making an examination they found
horse at the bottom of the hole.
They went to the nearest Indian
camp and told of their discovery
whereupon the Indians informed
them that it was Phillips horse.
The cowboys on the Phillip ranch
were notified and a bunch of them
went down to get the horse out.
After getting him on top of the
ground the horse wSs able to stand
after spending more than Il month
in that hole without food or water.
With proper care the horse will
probably live. -Presho Post.
Rev. Dickensheets left Friday
to take up his new charge at Nc

Christianity and we trust that the
people up there will appreciate
his efforts. Cottonwood Repub-

l. W. Cole came up from Pierre
Wednesday, and packed up his
drugs. which he will ship to some
other point. He says that his wife
is still very poorly and that he was
unable to be here to attend to
business so thought it best to close
up. We are sorry to see the build
ing closed up and hope that some
one will start some business in it
in the near future. Van Metre

better since he started farming
south of town, and that others who
have gone about it right in the
Antelope creek country say the
same thing. 1t is the same ole

CAUTION TO REeoARs

Italian beggars are noted for the
persistency with which they will cling
to a tourist and show their ailments
while imploring his charity. A few
years ago the beggars of Florence had
become such a nuisance that the au-
thorities ordered the arrest of any per-
son found begging in the streets.
The favorite resort of the fraternity
was the hill leading to Fiesole. The
steepness of this hill compelled the
traveller to walk slowly up to the top,
and thus gave the beggars time and
opportunity to ply their trade. But
one day, owing to a detectives happy
thought, 1t became the means of en-
trapping large number OF them.
The detective, disguised in plain
clothes, sauntered up the hill one sun
ny morning, humming a gentle song.
The unsuspicious beggars clustered
about him, imploring his charity, and
showing him their crippled limbs, blind
eyes and wan faces.
He strolled on, humming his song,
while they grew in numbers and in
importantly. At last the large and
long procession reached the top of the
hill. There they encountered an omni-
bus, out of which jumped a number
of gendarmes.
Instantly the beggars scattered; the
lame ran, the blind saw, the deaf
heard, the dumb spoke and the con-
sumptive became strong. But they
were captured, hustled into the prison
van-for that was what the omnibus
was-and carried off under the charge
of the singing stroller.

ROYALTY RELATIONS

Senator Depew told two good stories
in the senate while he was speaking
on a bill to regulate the government of
Hawaii. He said, in reviewing the his
tory of the islands, that the king and
queen of the islands once came to
America and then went to Europe.
"An incident of this trip" said the
senator, "was one of the rare contribu-
tions to the sedate movement of his
tory, which promotes good fellowship
by adding to the gayety of nations
Chicago received the king with impress
sive ceremonies on his arrival. After a
weary day of parades and reviews the
then mayor of the metropolis of the
west found a king on his hands. Kings
were not in his line. nor was he fa~
miliar with their attributes, the GUS
toms of court or the methods of ad-
dressing them. To relieve himself of
embarrassment he drove his majesty
to the leading hotel and, leaving him
in the lobby, said, Good afternoon,
king, we have had a hard day, and L
think you had better go up TO your
room and wash up
when their majesties arrived IN
London they were entertained by roy
atty and were guests at Windsor" con-
tinued the senator. "There was a cur
rent story at the time" he said, that
at the dinner the Hawaiian queen said
to Queen victoria: Your majesty, I
am q blood relative To the astonlsh-
ed inquiry, How SOP the Hawaiian
queen answered: My grandfather ate

CONSOLIDATION Of TWO
BEACH RESORTS URGED
Promoters Declare Incorporation
Will Aid Work of Building
51-MiIe Boulevard

HERMOSA BEACH, April 23.-Ef-
forts are being made by j. G. Cortel-
you and other property owners of
Shakespeare Beach and Manhattan to
join the two subdivisions into one and
incorporate under the name of Man
haitian Beach, A proposal has been
made to the city board of trustees or
Hermosa Beach by the Manhattan I'M
provement association to cut off the
Shakespeare district from Hermosa
Beach and add it to Manhattan, thus
giving the latter place d sufficiently
large population to permit of incorpor-
alton.
Manhattan extends for about one
mile along the shore of the ocean.
Shakespeare Beach lies between Man
haitian and Hermosa Beach and is
partly included in the latter city. Cor
telyou and others declare they are
anxious to see the completion of the
asphalt coast boulevard now building
through Her1nosa Beach, but they hold
to the opinion that it cannot be con-
structed through Manhattan unless the
place is Incorporated so that bonds for
the Improvement may be issued.
A meeting of a committee from the
Manhattan Improvement association
and the local city trustees will be held
next week and on the agreement

ward through Manhattan.
A letter has been received by the
Hermosa Beach trustees from the Of
ficials of the Los Angeles-Pacific Rail-
way company, saying that two miles
of the proposed boulevard between
Playa del Rey and Hyperion will be
built by that company. A one-mile
stretch at Hyperion will be built by
the county. Property owners between
Hyperion and Manhattan have agreed
to assist in the work, so that the con-
struction of the boulevard is assured
between Playa del Rey and Manhattan
The road is already constructed be-
tween Santa Monica and Playa del
Rey, so that only small stretches be-
tween Manhattan and Hermosa Beach
and between the latter place and Re
dondo Beach remain to be built. When
completed this boulevard will form q,
link in a chain of roads fifty-one miles
in length, extending from Los Angeles
to Redondo Beach, thence along the
beach for fifteen miles to Santa Mon
ica and back to the city via Hollywood,
which will be unsurpassed for auto
mobile travel.

man and a woman. upon being ar
raigned for disturbing the peace, told
the magistrate that the commotion be-
tween them had started in an argu-
ment as to what they should name

asked the magistrate of the father, who
was employed as a waiter at a Broad
way restaurant.
Ludwig" answered the German.
"And you?" he asked the mother.
"Adolph," sighed the latter.
The modern Solomon thought mo-
ment. "Tll tell you what to call him"
he said at length, "call him Adolph
Ludwig"
"Nein, nein!" shouted the father.
Ludwig Adolph, yes; Adolph Ludwig,
neffer!"
The magistrate demanded the reason
for his stubbornness.
