ROAD BOOSTERS TO MEET

Secretary Wood Of the South Da-
kota Good Roads Association. has
called a meeting to be held at Huron.
Friday, December 20. At this gather
ing plans will be formulated for the
conduct of the legislative campaign
in the interest of good roads. Laws
modelled after those in other states
will be drawn and the members asked
to enact them.
Besides asking for state aid and
the appointment of a good roads com
mission, the bill will contain a clause
recommending that convict labor be
employed in the construction of the
highways across the state. At Pierre
about the middle of January there
will be held a state conservation con
gress and at this it is proposed to
make the Improvement Of highways
one of the prominent features.
Two Of the counties in the south
eastern part of the state have filed
petitions with Secretary Wood ask
ing that the convicts be compelled to
build proposed highways and that
legislation providing fDr this be en-
acted.

GREAT NORTHERN MAY BUILD

a great deal Of mystery has sur
rounded a railroad surveying crew.
which for several weeks has been
working in the region southwest o.
Sioux Falls. says a dispatch from that
city. Much speculation has been in
dulged in as TO what railroad had
placed the surveyors in the field. 1t
now can be stated on good authority
that the surveyors represent the Great
Northern railroad and that they are
engaged in surveying for a proposed
extension of the Great Northern rail
road from Sioux Falls to Wheeler.
situated on the Missouri river in
Charles Mix county. 1t also is assert
ed on good authority that the propos-
ed line will be built. The construc-
ton of the road would furnish railway
facilities to a rich agricultural and
stock raising region which heretofore
has been without direct railway com
munication. From Sioux Falls the
new line would run in a southwesterly
direction direct to Wheeler, passing
through Midtown, Armour, and other
intermediate towns. Although Wheel
er has for many years been the county
seat Of Charles Mix county, it has thus
far been without railway facilities and
the extension of the Great Northern
will give the town it's first railway
communication. The extension will be
made under the name of the Sioux
Falls and Western railway.

The report in the News Of
this morning that the body of
Ivan Elliff had been found,
tangled in a moving machine,
in a ditch about three miles be-
low where the boys were bath
ing" proves to be without
foundation. Men are dragging
the creek the full length. in
hopes of raising the body but
it is feared it has gone into the
Missouri River and may never
be found.
1t is not the reward of 500
which is spuring these men on
but the hopes of finding the
body so the bereaved parents
may give it proper burial and
know the last resting place of
their son.

this morning for Emphysema
and they removed a quart and
a half Of serum from the Plural
cavity. The operation afforded
instant relief to the patient and
and the Drs. are confident of
his recovery. 1t is doubtful if
there is a more popular man in
our city than Mr.. johnson and
there is surely rejoicing both
in the family circle and in his
host of friends, over the fact

The NUMBER FORTY.
MUST HAVE MEANING
STRANGE COINCIDENCE THAT
THIS NUMBER SHOULD OCCUR

or THE BIBLE.

Have you ever noticed anything
peculiar about the number forty?
These figures seem to have had an
unusual bearing on events. both past
and present.
We all know the story Of the forty
thieves, and the old verse of the forty
flags. Then there are the members of
the French academy known as the for~
ty immortaIs: and the old slang for
'.going some was 'sgoing like forty"
But the most interesting list OF oc-
currences in which this mysterious
forty is to be found Is ia the Bible,
as siown in the following:
The rain that produced the flood fell
for forty days and forty nights, and
after 1t ceased 1t was forty days before
Noah opened the ark. Moses raj
forty days on the mountain fasting
and the spies spent forty days in
yestigating matters in Canaan before
making their report, Elijah tasted
forty days iii the wilderness, and
Jonah gave the people Of Ninevef
forty days Ia which 70 repent. The

AZ The orpheum.

The Fargo Theatrical Co. for the
last half Of this week Is presenting a
bill that just suits all classes OF the
atrical goers and particularly those
who love vaudeville. Allyn Warren
and his players in Cheese and Crack
ers made an instantaneous hit with
their very funny farce comedy and
there was many a laugh produced.
The acting was all that could be ex-
pected and the special scenery fine.
The Richards again pleased their
hundreds Of admirers In the city and
are still maintaining their popularity.
The Four Shannons have a very
clever talking, singing and dancing
act that is new to the city and there is
plenty OF comedy introduced. Mel
lie Drew Is showing some new
novelties in pantopaime stepping and
singing that is unsurpassed and Lewis

comedy sketch, Seth Springer's Trou-
bles, which took well. These with
Professor Coseio'g orchestra and the
