The Mobridge news. [volume] (Mobridge, Walworth Co., S.D.) 190?-1917, 1913-08-15

OF the northwest, is located in the
northwest corner of Walworth
county, on beautiful plateau
overlooking the Missouri river
The city is situated on the trans
continental line Of the great Mil
waukee system, which insures the
city Of the best of railroad service
to and from the larger commercial
centers of the west and middle
west.
Mobridge is the terminal of three
branch lines Of the Milwaukee, all
OF which have opened up a large
and fertile region from which the
city draws an immense trade.
The territory traversed by these
branch lines is of the best for ag-
riculture, stock raising and other
industries. Being the terminal
for freight and passenger trains,
brings the division headquarters to
the city and with it many railroad
men.
Mobridge is just the right dist
ance from all other trade centers
to make it compulsory for the To-
cation of a large jobbing and
wholesale point there. Mobridge
came into existence a little over
five years ago, and today looms
large in the eyes of the whole
country, as being city with a
great future.
MObrldge has never experienced
a big boom, and consequently the
prices of property have never ex-
ceeded the actual demand. While
nearly all commercial institutions
are represented, they have not
been Overdone, and room is being
made, very rapidly, for the estab-
lishment of more such institutions
as is now there.
The jobbing industry has been
overlooked and the city is ia great
need of such institutions. The
territory directly tributary to Mo-
bridge, by reason of the branch
line feeders, is a large wealth pro-
ducing territory and the time has
come when wholesaling institutions
should be established there. Mo-
bridge can boast of a better and
more substantial growth III the
last three years, under adversary
circumstances, than any other city
of South Dakota. The growth has
not been boom, but has been a
gradual, substantial march of pro-
gress.
Mobridge has thirty e-proof |
and several more are
under construction at this time.
The city has already established |
the most essential public improve
nents in the way of adequate
sewerage, and good water syseem,
electric lights, city hall and Jail,
and many miles of cement side
walk. The government of the
city in the past has been carried
on in a progressive and econom-
lcal manner, and today the city's
affairs are on sound and sub
stantial basis. The city has just
adopted the commission form of
government move that denotes
The up-to-date progressiveness of
the people.
the city has two schools, and
nearly every church denomination
s represented with fine church.

NJ ALPINE MURDER
BATTLES POLICE

Duluth, Mimi, Sept. 9.-The grand
Jury of st. Louis county reported to
District Judge Fealer on the murder
of John McAlpine, the Duluth lumber
man. who vas found shot in the base
ment of his home the morning of Aug.
Is. The jury finds he was murdered
but could not c enough evidence
to Justify IN Indictment.
For three days the jury wrestled
with the questions surrounding the
mystery. At the coroner's inquest held
after the tragedy members of the
household and others were examined.
These witnesses and others were call
ed before the grand jury. Their testi-
mony, as far as can be learned, var
led but little On any material point
from that adduced at the inquest. The
report OF the jury, in part, vas
I'VE have investigated the circum-
stances surrounding the death of John
McAlplne in this city on Aug. is last.
We have heard all the testimony OBJ,
tainable and have subjected the prin-
cipal witnesses to thorough examlna-
ton N as a result thereof. we are of
the opinion that Mr.. McAlpine was
murdered, but We do not consider the
evidence sufficient to warrant the re-
turning of an Indictment against any
+@tt4cular person or persons.
In view OF all the circumstances
surrounding the death, we can there

GOOD sAMARIrANs or TO-DAY.

elarinE that every kindly deed Is done

Rafore the criminal court at Pitts
bursfi there was arraigned a. young
woman, pretty and refined, but bear
ing all the marks OF poverty and
starvation. She was charged with
stealing from a department store and
selling her plumber. Asked what she
had to say In defense OF her action.
she said: II was out OF work because
of illness, and 1t seemed to me the
only thing 70 do TO keep me from
death Or a worse fate. / would rather
steal to save myself from starvation
than to sell my SOUL
For many weeks che had been in
actual want, and when she could
no longer bear the pangs OF hunger
she stole q few articles and with the
money realized from their sale bought
herself food and medicine. The Judge

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.

When the school pupil complains Of
headache. ones first thought is that a.
ball game is about to begin some
where, n that there has been q
chance to 90 to q picnic. Still the
stattsticians say that there is an enor-
nous amour Of Ill health among the
children.
n writer say that in one recent
school term, 10000 children left their
desks In five American cities, because
OF disease and poor health. With facts
Xix these to work. on, the fourth in
ternatiotlal congress Of school hygiene,
in session at New York recently, was
something more than a gathering of
faddists.
Ready made ventilation is supposed
to be provided In a modern school,
house. Yet the complaint is still heard
from many artificta1ly ventilated
buildings that the air feels as il It
were baked, and the children still
have headaches.
Several years many thousands
Of New York children could attend

crowded buildings. A scientist inves-
tigated. and found that the half tim
ers' made better progress than those
who attended all day.
Clean habits mean q great deal.

cup in one school, an injection was

LAYS HEAD ON RAIL
And ENDS HIS LIFE
CANADIAN FARMER COMMITS
SUICIDE IN CHASTITY MANNER
AT ST. PAUL YARDS.

ST. Paul, Sept. 9.-Paul Cook, IS
years old, a farmer from Glen Lowery,
Sask., Canada, committed suicide in
the Union depot yards by laying his
neck on a rail underneath a moving
Northern Pacific freight train. His
body was decapitated.
:. The act was witnessed by F. Fl.
Murphy, a brakeman employed on the
st. Paul Olympian flyer, and Paul
Bersaw, a switchman riding on the
freight car under which Cook had
plunged himself.
The freight train was backing slow
ly out of the Union depot sheds when
the suicide occurred.
Letters in the mans pockets, receiv-
ed from his parents in Pottersville,
Pa, indicated that he was a sufferer
of indigestion and other illness, which
probably prompted him to take his
life.
according to Bersaw, who witnessed
the accident as he was hanging on
the side iron steps of the freight car,
Cook had been lettering around the
depot shed entrance for several hours.
THE man appeeard t be a traveller
waiting for his train" said Bersaw,
and paid no attention to him.
Shortly after 1920 / was looking
ahead while hanging on the freight.
and saw the man plunge forward, lay
his neck on the rail, face down, di-
rectly in the path of our train.
after the accident an engineer,
whose name l did not learn, told me
that the same man had attempted to
die under a passenger train, but was
drawn back by passing trainmen."
A bank book containing a deposit
for $45 was found in the pocket, along
with several Canadian bills.
Coroner Jones will communicate
with the parents.

METEOR
WAS A FAKE

Tiverton. R. l., Sept. 9.-The liver

moved from the realm of natural phe-

fessed to the police that the supposed
celestial visitor was composed of sixty
pounds of dynamite and a quantity of
copper Stag.
The meteor" which was reported to
have fallen in the Seaconnet river,
accompanied by a binding light
and a deafening crash. Two fisher
men later found in their nets a heavy
piece of metal, which was declared to
be the fallen meteor. The fisher
men put their find on exhibition and
did a profitable business until a
Brown university g%eologist pronounce
ed the meteor" to be nothing but
copper Stag.
The young men said that with some
companions they had taken tho dyna-

THE PANAMA CANAL,

The newest wonder of the world,
is the Panama canal, probably the
greatest example of modern engineer
ing skill the world has ever seen. It
is soon to be completed and will mark
n Of the great events in the history
of the new world.
Many volumes have been written
about the canal, but The Forum
really believes that one Of the best
books on the subject, certainly one Of
the most entertaining, is the volume
which is being distributed in North
Dakota through the medium of this
paper-Panama and the Canal in Pic
IL and Prose.
The book Is the work of Willis J.
Abbot and one of the finest features
is the vast number of Illustrations.
taken from photographs. The book
gives a clear, comprehensive idea, not
only Of the canal itself, but also of
the climate, the people, the vegetation
and other like data, of Panama, and
the islands that will be vitality affected
by the building of the "big ditch"
The Forum has been instrumental
IN distributing a number of books, that
possess real value in the past year
or two. 1t has found a ready response
from its readers and believes that it
Is helping the people Of the state by
putting these volumes in the homes at
very little over their cost of produc-
ton. No volume that it has distribut-
ed, however, with the exception of the
Bible, will be more fully appreciated
in any home, than this timely book
on the Panama canal.

Minnesota as a Producer.

Commercial West: Some communi-
ties with nothing but u~ndeveloped re-
sources to talk about-no cities, no
markets, no manufactures, no rail-
roads to speak of-have blinded the
world to what they didn't have by
loudly and persistently footing about
what they were going to have-so
loudly and persistently, in fact, that
thousands of people forsook or over
looked the realities at hand to follow
after the loud noise of promise. Min
nesota has been decidedly delinquent,
yes, even %diffident, about advertising,
itself; so here is just a little loot for
the state.
Minnesota already has what more
than half the other states hope to
have n are advertising that they
will have. Minnesota also has, in adj
dition to it's present development, lust
as great undeveloped natural resource
agricultural state, Minnesota has de-
yeloped into a producer Of other
things than products of the soil. Min
nesota, in fact, is already one of the
best-balanced commemorative j n the
union. 1t is a producer of raw materi-
al, manufactures, jobber and idistrib-
utor. Beginning with agriculture. let
US see how the state ranks. Minneso-
ia raises approximately TO- 00,000
bushels of wheat annually, and is al
ways third or sometimes second
among the wheat-growing states. The
mills Of Minneapolis, Duluth and the
rest OF the state annually grind more
EWheat q is grown in Minnesota,
and more than is ground in III other
Ehalf-dozen states.
Minnesota now has an established
place In the list of eorn-groWing
states. and not only that, but the aver
age yield per acre is higher than in
many OF the great corn producers. The
government report issued last week
shows an Increased acreage of corn in
the state OF 4 per cent over last year.
u 1917 Minnesota, according to the
government estimate, raised 78.O00.O0O
bushels of corn. A year ago the con-
dition Of the crop wa 81 per cent.
while Tow 1T is 96. With the Increased
acreage and almost perfect condition.
Minnesota should raise 85.O0O.0O0
bushels of corn this season.
Minnesota will this year be twelfth
among the states In corn production,
although eighteenth in acreage This
lndlcates aSdecided advantage in aver
age yield per acre.
AS corn is mainly consumed On tha
farm, the steadily increasing amount
groWn--up to 1909 Minnesota had
never produced a crop OF corn exceed
ing 50,000,000 bushels-gives some in
dication OF the increase lii cattle ana
hog raising. Turning corn into beef
and pork is now one of the industries.

diversified farming products. butter

g the growing Of oats Minnesota
ranks fourth In both crop and the
acreage W. to them. This state
raises us per cent of the total

Illinois are the only states that excel
Minnesota In the production of oats.
