Milwaukee Rumor at Lennon.


Lemmon.-It is rumored here that
the Milwaukee will make this point
a freight division point for the line
between Mobridge, S. D., and Mar
marth. The division point is now at
Mcintosh, freight crews tying up
there, on the run from Mobridge to
Mcintosh, or from Marmarth to McIin-
tosh, but Lennon people believe the
runs will be from Mobridge to Lem
mon, and from Marmarth to Lennon.
It is also reported the Milwaukee will
build large roundhouse at Lennon.
Another railroad rumor at Lennon is
to the effect that the Milwaukee land
officials have secured large tract of
land, comprising severa, quarter Sec
tons lying in body, about 18 miles
southwest Of Lennon. A surveying
crew has been working in that vicin-
ity also, and it is believed the Milwau-
kee officials plan to tap the northern
Black Hills country by line running
from Lennon southwark, probably to
Belle Fourche, and then southeast till
it connects with the line to Rapid
City.

Select OFFICIAL Route.

Pierre.-The county commissioners
and a committee Of road viewers from
Pierre and Blunt have gone over and
selected what is to be known as the
official route across Hughes county
for the cross state highway. The des-
ignated route after leaving Harold on
the extreme east line of the county
goes south one mile, and from there
due west on a section line through the
town of Blunt and ten miles west Of
the place. Here the road again bears
south a mile and extends west seven
miles to Senior postoffice, which is
nine miles directly north of this city,
the line coming into Pierre from the
north. This is a line which can be
made good highway with very little
cost, there being but one lake bed"
on the route, and that not large one.
1t also makes line with but few
turns to be made by autos, which is
a strong element in its favor for a
part of cross state highway, such as
the line laid out Is supposed to be.

Sioux Falls.-One of the concluding

now Is a patient in the state hospital
for the insane at Yankton as the al
legged result of scandalous treatment
received at the hands of Bartell and
unknown men residing in st. Paul
and Minneapolis. Driven practically
insane by drugs alleged to have been
administered to her by Bartell and
others, after being the plaything Of
one or more Sioux Falls men, she was
sent to the Twin Cities, where she was
for some days passed from one group
of men to another, finally being sent
back to Sioux Falls and short time
later committed to the Yankton asy-
lum. When returned here her mind
was so far gone that she was unable
to give the names of the men in the
Twin Cities. 1t is stated on apparent
ly good authority that her mental fac
ulties never can be restored. For some
time previous to becoming the vic
tim of drugs and designing men she
was teacher of country school near
Sioux Falls and was I'm unusually
bright and intelligent girl. Her pa
rents reside in Sioux Falls and are

Spring Rains Do Much Good.

Deadwood.-Spring rains have COM
menced in the Black Hills. the first
that have been seen for three years at
this time of the year. The rains so
far are not sufficient to cause any
danger from floods. as most of the
snow has run of through the creeks
or melted into the grounds and have
only served to still further increase
the hopes of. the farmers in the north
western part of the state who are this
year looking for better crops. They
have also greatly stimulated the
growth of grass and this will greatly
aid the owners of stock owing to the
scarcity and high price of hay.

Lennon. - Burglars appear to be
operating in several northwestern
South Dakota towns, with a fair de-
gree of success. The Lawien hard
ware store and the Flaherty drug store
at Mcintosh were recently entered by
burglars. several revolvers having
been taken from the hardware store,
and the cash register in the drug store

According to the Scientific Amer
fcan of recent issue, method of econ
omizing electrical energy employed for
domestic heating or cooking is to re-
ceive the energy continuously at a
low rate in a resistance apparatus
which transforms it into heat and then
stores the heat for use as needed. In
q new electric cooking apparatus OPP
Grating in this way the heating unit,
consuming 500 watts total or $4,000
watt hours per day of twenty-four
hours, serves to keep a mass of cast
iron hot enough to cook food in or
binary utensils placed in contact with
it. The cast iron block is thermally
insulated by being inclosed in a sur
rounding wall of lampblack or pow
dered silica, and a movable block is
arranged to be raised above the main
mass, so as to expose its upper sur
face when cooking is to be done. The
small current consumption, less than
that of an electric t1atiron, enables the
device to be operated on tho ordinary
electric light wiring of the house.
