New Road to Madison, s ID
The WatertOwn Herald Gives the Fol-
lowing News Concerning New Rail
roads, and Farm Machinery
ut Cost

The new rumor, however, ap-
pears to have more indications of
possibility than the proceeding
ones. The fact that the Minnea-
polls &St. Louis has signitied it's
intention of building a north line
out of Watertown (articles Of in
corporation of which have al
reay been filed at Pierre) may
have spurred the Milwaukee
company to "get busy" and to
make an entry into the city be-
fort the new st. Louis line is con
structed so as to get away from
the law in this state which pro-
hibitS one company from running
line parallel with another for
more than ten miles, which law
that road would undoubtedly run
up against in case the ST. Louis
gets It's road completed first.
There are other indications
that the time has come for the
Milwaukee to make an entrance
into the city Although the rum
or in the article in the Minneapo-
lis paper said that the line would
commence two miles east of Ort-
ley, about twenty miles west OF
Milbank, on the coast extention
through Watertown to Madison,
connecting with the southern
Minnesota line at that point.
| FARM MACHINERY AT COST
At the meeting of the CONNER
cial club an offer was made by
the Deere Webber Company in
which thee offer to furnish the
farmer with machinery at cost
if they will devote twenty acres
of their farm to experimental
farming. Further they will also
furnish all machinery for the ex
perimental farming free of
charge. This is a SPLENDID offer
on the part Of this company and
as many Of the farmers Of the
state are being urged to devoting
part of their farm to expert
mental farming by the North
west Development League it is
likely that a number of them will
take advantage of this offer in
l mediate vicinity.

Selecting Potatoes for Seed.


The best way to obtain the next
years supply of seed potatoes is
to 20 through the potato patch
early in the fall and locate the
best hills. A good seed potato
should produce a hill that has a
uniform lot of good quality OF
potatoes. From the best hills
the seeds should be saved. This
method of selection will give US
an idea as to the pedigree of our
seed and it will be but q short
time until our yield Of potatoes
will be materially increased.

Such A WetneSS
Saws the SissetOn Standard In Ref
erence to the ClOudburst at
that City on July 2S.

Monday, July 90, will long be
remembered in Sisseton and the
surrounding country, for on that
night this section was visited by
one of the heaviest rain storms IN
it's history. Nearly three inches
of rain fell in about as many
hours-according to the gauge at
the local weather bureau and
practically every building in town
han more or less-principally
more-water in it before the
storm subsidized. The drainage
system of the city was utterly in
adequate to cope with the i'm
mense volume of water and as a
consequence the low ground
along the railroad tracks was a
veritable inland sea for at least
twenty.four hours after the rain
had ceased falling. Residents in
that section of the city had many
thrilling experiences before they
finally escaped from the seething
waters.
The storm was the cause Of
considerable property loss, the
three lumber dealers were among
the principal losers. All hands
were busy all the next day, gath
ering up the lumber that had
been carried away by the on
rushing waters.

"When the mist had rolled
away" it was discovered that a
large section of track between
Sisseton and Peever had been
washed out, and there were no
trains on Tuesday nor yet on
Wednesday, the regular sched-

Thursday evening. The mail
was transferred at Peever to the

this city by Rome Bros. Perish

Useful Pets In the Orient.

When / first took up my residence

WHY WOMEN LIVE LONGER
Physicians Ascribe Fact to a More
Sheltered Existence, for One
Thing.

Though doctors have long realized
that, thanks to a better knowledge of
sanitation and personal hygiene, peo-
pie are living longer than formerly,
the much greater relative longevity
Of women, as shown in the recently
published national debt Offices re-
port on the mortality of government
life annuitants, has come as a general
surprise.
In a summary of these figures it
was shown that the expectation of
life of woman of fifty is now more
than a year greater than it was in
1875, while that of man Of the same
age is only about three months
greater.
Discussing the reasons of our in
creasing longevity, and in particular
woman's stronger hold on life, physi-
clans at st. Bartholomew's hospital
advanced widely different theories.
"The essential cause of DEATH" one
stated, ''is a wearing out from over
work of our brain cells. Women may
be just as braiIy as men, but they
do not work their brain cells as Wig
orously or as continuously as do their
men relatives. If they did there
would not be so great a disparity in
the length of life of the two sexes"
Another consultant put down wom-
ans greater expectation of life to the
more sheltered existence she leads
and the lack of physically depressing
competition which Is part of nearly
every mans life. "a woman may
have hard work to do" he explained,
"but, except for the few who work in
offices or who.follow professions, they
work in their own homes. and at a
pace they set for themselves. The
home is also as rule vastly more
airy, sunny, and generally more whole
some than is her husbands shop OF
