Definite Railroad News.

That there is something doing
along railroad lines is shown in a
recent interview in the Sioux City
Journal when w. + King, one of
the promoters of the interurban
railway from Sioux City west,
gave it as his opinion that the road
would be in actual operation
within the next eighteen months.
Mr.. King also outlined the pro-
posed route as leaving Sioux City
over the combination bridge and
passing through Jackson, Ponca,
Martinsburg, harrington, Bloom
field and Center, thence west to
the Verdigre creek where it will
make connections with the Valen-
tine extension. Most enthusiastic
meetings have been held in all of
The above towns within the past
two weeks and the farmers and
business men along the proposed
route are right in line with the
promoters in their attempt to rush
the work to a speedy completion.
The Valentine extension, as be-
ing promoted by Mr.. Cornell Of
Valentine, will make the above
connection at some point, as yet
undetermined, and following up
the Niobrara river will strike the
divide between Ponca creek and
the river and following that natural
roadway west to Naper, Jamison,
Burton and other towns in Keya
Paha county and across the Mo
brara river at Valentine.
This authentic news sounds very
good to the people of Boyd and
Keya Paha counties.

1t is our desire to acquaint you with y. B. Cor
sets. We would like to have you look them over
carefully, see how the various parts are perfectly
adjusted, and how they fit into each other without
a pucker; how the boning is placed so as to bring
out every desirable line and curve and how some
lines have a tendency to subdue superfuous parts
while curves round out to a desired fullness.
W. B. Corsets are a combination Of grace, solid
comfort and guaranteed wearing value.
To get the most value out of a corset it is best to
select one suitable for your figure. Remember, a
comfortable fitting corset should be three inches
smaller than the waist measurement taken over the
clothes with a corset. If all especially snug fit
is desired allow four inches. This is exceptional.

The metal bill, which also places
on the free list, iron ore, nails,
cash registers and many other
steel and iron products, and makes
reductions on all metal goods av-
eraging 50 per cent, passed the

THE average wage of G5 per
cent of the employees of the work
ers in the steel plants of Pitts
burgh," he said, is II! cents an
hour. The Associated Charities
of that city. by careful investiga-
ton. has figured it out that the
bare existence of a family Of a

dren in Pittsburgh is S76S a year.
By working II hours a day, 365
days a year, this 65 per cent of the
workers. at the end of their years
labor, will have earned just $50
less than this sum.
These horrible conditions are
the result of the use of the great
power and wealth of this trust to
prevent it's employees from join
ing organizations. The condition
of labor in this industry is moth
ing less than slavery. In ten
years this trust, while working
men under these conditions, has
taken from the American people
S650,0G0. 600 in excess of a liberal
profit on its actual investment, and
this enormous profit has been used
to grind down its workers to their
present miserable condition."

best bet in the Republican nomi-
nation handicap. At least that is
the way it looks to me today, and
| have tried to view the situation,
if possible. without prejudice.
| base my prediction on the
theory that Special Privilege, as
represented by Aldrich, Penrose,
Smoot, Dodge, Crane, Guggen-
helm, j, Pierpont Morgan. John
d. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie,
and the tariff trusts, still dominate
the Republican machine. And it
must never be forgotten that the
Republican machine, and not the
Republican voters, rules national
Republican conventions and names
presidential candidates.
The Republican machine, it is
true is badly damaged, but [ think,
however, it is still powerful
enough, backed as it is by the mil
lions of Special Privilege, to con-
troll one more national convention.
After that it will 60 on the scrap
heap, and men freer of corporate
influences will be ia control of the
party.
The only deduction that the
realer may draw from the fore
going is that Mr.. Taft is to be
nominated, not because the people
desire his denomination, but be-
cause the Big Interests desire his
denomination; not because Mr..
Taft has earned a denomination by
representing the interests of Spe-
ial Privilege.
There seems to be an increasing
talk about Roosevelt. but | do not
think the machine politicians will
permit his nomination. Ii ROose-
welt should be nominated, however,
/ believe he would be defeated.
1t was during his administration
that the present abnormally high
cost of living was piled up, largely
because of the system of excessive
protection in which MI. Roosevelt
believes. Roosevelt is an Aldrich-
Smoet- Penrose Republican on the
tariff question, so far as anyone
knows. But if he should come
out on the Progressive side of the
tariff issue, it would only make
him less desirable to the RepubIi-
can machine, and his nomination
would be even less probable than
it is now.
Robert M. La Toilette, the one
man mentioned in connection with
the Republican nomination on
whom the people can put their
finger on every public question of
the day, cannot be nominated, in
nv ODiniOD. the reason being. on
~, that the people cannot vote on
presidential nominees.
Any day, of course, may bring
developments to change the po-
sitions of the men on the political
checker board, but the above is
the situation as it appears to your
correspondent at this writing.
Uncle Joe Cannon, High Pro
lection Joe," wanted to know,
when the Democratic metal bill
was before the House, why such
articles as sewing machines were
placed on the free list. Chairman
Underwood, of the Democratic
Ways and Means committee,
courteously supplied the ex-
speaker with the desired informa-
ton.
I'VE have placed these articles
on the free list for the benefit. of
the American people," said Mr..
Underwood. The uncontested
testimony shows that sewing ma
