OF Importance to the people of the

asset for the voters of the county
to overlook on election day.
To be sure, there are a few who
will oppose Mr.. Comstock on ac.
count of personal jealousy and

be found in everything of a public
nature but it is noticeable that
MIR. Comstock's most loyal and in
Innate friends are those who have
known him many years before there
was "A city Of Mobridge.
No better estimation of q mans

Such man will look after the well

same personal interest that he has
manifested along other lines among

placed and will be an honor be-

LOBORERS ARE NOT
WILLING TO WORK
Milwaukee Road Will Only Finish
Twenty-Five Per Cent of
Work Planned.

The Milwaukee road will not ac-
cOmplish % per cent Of the double
track construction work between
Aberdeen and Minneapolis that
was planned for this year. A
scarcity of men all year has been
responsible for this failure in not
completing the double track to the
twin cities as was planned this
spring.
In place of having crew Of
,, 800 to 1900 men at work grad
ing for the new line, there has
been less than 800 men at work
on the average. Ia the summer
laborers came into the territory
thick and fast, but as soon as
harvesting commenced they all left
work on the railroad for work in
the harvest fields. Then threshing
commenced and drew more men
away, and then the cold weather
set in driving the foaters" south
The heavy freight traffic on the
line has also held up the construc-
tion work considerable.
Hundreds Of BuIgarians have
quit during the past few weeks to
return to their homes in the old
country, having saved up enough
money to live comfortably in Bull
garia FOR many years. The large
number Of negroes brought up
from Kansas and Missouri are
fiLding this weather too cold Ter
them, and they, too, are going
south.
1t was hoped to have the seven
ty-five miles between Aberdeen and
Summit hill, tho slowest portion
Of road on this division, completed
by November 1st, but this line will
not be finished until sometime
next year
The Milwaukee is not the only
road that has been held up on It's
construction work this summer,
for nearly every railroad in the
west that is extending or improv-
ing its lines is meeting with the
same difficulty The plans now
are to commence work as soon in
the spring as the weather permits
and rash the construction work
ahead so as TO have as much of it
completed as possible by the time
the harvesting commences next
fall. Aberdeen News.

CABLE OVER DEEP GORGE.
Telephone Lineman Proposes to Save
Himself Many Miles of Travel.

Ellensburg. Wash.-In order to save
himself from fifteen-mile walk
through the forests of the Cascade
mountains in the dead of winter, Ben
Huerngardt, lineman for the Postal
Telegraph company station at the
summit, has constructed an aerial
tramway across the Keechelus river
and is now able to make his daily
patrol on the route without making
the detour around the lake.
Huengardt IS a brother lineman of
Frank Hopes. the man who was fro
zen to death last winter at the sum-
init Of the hills while endeavoring to
locate a break in the wires.
During the summer months, with
the help of two trappers, he strung a
seven-eighths-inch wire cable across
the river, distance of 1877 feet, and
ingeniously constructed a basket or
carriage large enough to hold two
men, with which to haul themselves
across the stream AT the point
where the wire crosses the river runs
through a canyon and never freezes,
even in the coldest weather.

evangelistic services at the Methodist

the notable football stars Of the conn

team of Northwestern University

Stages formidable Chicago eleven. A
singular feature in connection with
that team, according to Rev. Emmel,
is that ten of its eleven regular mem
bers are now ministers of the gospel
which fact would seem to be a counter
argument to the claim that football as
a sport Is brutaliZing.

DR.. w. G. Benner, the United
State department of agriculture eX-
pert, who has been at Brunswick,
and among the farmers Of the com
'munity combating hog cholera, has
inoculated 30 or more hogs with ser
um. None o fthe serum was used on
hogs at present sick, or which showed
by thermometer tests a high temper
allure, as the serum is a preventative
and not a cure The only thing to be
done with hogs that are sick is TO
isolate them and trust to other means
of recovery Dr. Benner has also Wis
tied Petersville, Knoxville and Viewer
ton. There will be no charge to the
residents of Brunswick for the serum
this being furnished by the govern
ment. The serum is injected into a
hog by hypodermic needle ana the
amount that is to be given depends up
ON the size of hog, from Is to 30
cubic centimeters being used.
DR.. r. V. Smith, of Frederick, re
ceived word from the state yeterina-
rian that he had been sent quantity
of the serum and that he should ad-
minister it to hogs in the vicinity of
WeTerton, Washington county. He
will inoculate all the hogs of that To-
cality with hope of stopping any
further spreading of the disease The
disease is highly contagious and sick
hogs should be entirely isolated and
precautions taken 10 prevent the
spread of the disease.

Interesting History OF
Lawsuit Over Telephones
by United Press.)

Paris, Sept. 3.--The Society of Tele
phone Subscribers, an association
which grew out of the chaos and inc
ficiency Of the northumberland tele
phones in France, has just made
known the history Of the lawsuit of
Dr. Seroison, of Paris, against the
telephone administration.
The doctor was frequently bothered
by patients informing him that they
could not obtain his number, or that
if the number was obtained, the reply
frequently was that no such person
as Dr. Serioson was known at the
address. Five years of this passed.
Then, having lost many patients
through bad telephone service. the
doctor investigated and discovered
