Sioux Falls.-Rev. l.. L. Sanders, in.

using the mails to defraud, will be
brought back here within a short time
unless he can find bondsmen at Spo-
kane, Wash. who will provide him
with bail and liberty until the time fer
which his hearing is set in November,
according to Assistant United States
District Attorney c. ]. Morris, of this
city. Sanders, it is alleged, retained
money and books for which he had
advertised in daily newspapers and
through solicitation to promote what
he termed a free library at Leola, S.
ID. He later went to the western coast
where he was apprehended and placed
under arrest at Spokane, Wash. He
was later released on $1,000 bonds,
but was again turned over to the
United States marshal there by his
bondsmen. 1t is said that the discov.
cry that the minister has disposed of
his large library is responsible for the
loss of confidence on the part of his
bondsmen.

Central is ready to take up the work
Of extending it's line north from Wa
tertown. Announcement, 10 this eff
feet was made by G.. w. Macarthur,
vice president and general manager Of
that road.
For several days past Mr.. Near
thur a been making an automobile
trip over the country between here
line, and also north of Ortley. He
has been accompanied by ]. L. Wag-
ner, chief engineer of the road.
Mr.. Macarthur returned to Sioux
Falls, but Mr.. Wagner will resume ex-
p%loration of the country to the north,
seeking the most feasible route Of the
proposed line. The officers believe
the time is ripe for the extension,
which has been a tentative plan of the
road eve since it was built into Wa
tertown, and are desirious of getting
the preliminary work out of the way
this fall, S 70 that actual construction
work may be undertaken early next
spring.
Mr.. Macarthur planned to leave
Sioux Falls at once for Chicago, where
he will confer with F. L. Maytag, one
of the heaviest stockholders, and
other associates relative to the new
extension. 1t is his desire to get the
work under way at once, so that ma
terial may be purchased and hauled
in this coming winter in order to have
it on the ground for the beginning of
construction work next spring.
The plans of Mr.. Macarthur and his
associates in the South Dakota Cen
trail contemplate an extension about
fifty miles north into that splendid,
rich farming section which is now
without adequate railroad facilities.

three children. She thought by accus.
ing him of poisoning her that he would
give her money which she was sorely
in need of. After spending a good deal
of time on the case Mr.. Wyman found
there was no attempt at poisoning
and instructed the sheriff to send
them back to Iowa, their former home,
declaring them undesirable residents
of this county.

The third factor, that Of cost, very
often seems to be, IL not most impor-
tant, the most important OF the three.
Most home builders have to set a def

not to go over 1t. The outside design
can be changed from one style to an
other, and the interior arrangement is
a matter of choice. no one plan being
absolutely essential. But with the cost
It is different. Most OF us have to
carefully determine, before building,
Just what can be afforded; and IL the
figure decided upon should be exceed
ed disaster might follow.
1t Is just as well, too, that this is so.
It leads to economy and close figuring
and careful attention to the details OF
the work, and this leads to satisfac-
tory results.
It seems to be quite the habit of
many building contractors, and also
with the architects. to be too optimis-
tic when quoting on preliminary esti-
mates. The prospective builder is
misled. perhaps unintentionally, into
believing that a much more elaborate
structure can be built for the amount
he has decided on than Is In reality
the case. The little $4,000 bungalow,
OF the story, which cost $4,000 to
build, Is an example.
The fact of the matter il, II, Is q diff
fcult IL not impossible matter to make
an accurate estimate on preliminary
plans. The little extra features that
are not shown, but which are usually
included in the specifications as the
planning proceeds, mount up to an
astonishing total. If all the desirable
features that the banker has In his
e $40, 900 residence are attempted
to be incorporated into the plans for a
simple little $4,000 house it is certain
that there will be a wide difference be-

the final figures offered in the final
bids based on the complete plans and
specifications.
For a house OF moderate cost. espe-

proved herself a heroine when she at

succeeded in killing a large bobcat
or lynx, which appeared on the farm
of herslf and husband with the object
of having a feast on her chickens.

noise attracted the attention of Mrs.
Langford. She investigated and dis.
covered the cause of the uproar.
After some effort the bobcat was
driven from a weed patch and took
refuge On top of a post. While the
dogs stood guard Mrs. Langford pro-

When going into a building project
there are three considerations of i'm
the first place there is the design or
outward appearance Of the structure,
next the arrangement of the dwelling
inside for comfort and convenience,
and last the cost OF the building.
There Is apt to be a wide range OF
choice in regard to the first factor
the design or outward appearance OF
the house. This is a matter to be de-
cided according to the taste of the
owner and the requirements Of the
building site. II Is proverbial that
tastes differ widely; so there can be
no definite fixed requirements along
that line. Also the needs of different
locations vary greatly. 1t has been
said that we plan the outside of our
houses to please the neighbors, or to
make a brave show from the street,
Accordingly this first factor, that OF
outward appearance, may at times be
of very little real importance, although
Of course everyone would prefer to
live in as attractive a dwelling place
as possible.
All things considered, the interior of
a residence is far more important than
the exterior. Real satisfaction in q
home comes from the comfortable,
