Why Jobbine Houses are not
Established in Mobridde

Some time ago we wrote an ar.
tlcle in this paper in regard tC
freight rates into this city, but
were unable at the time to give
any specific rates to show that this
city is paying higher rates on var
ious commodities than the service
rendered demands.
The Bright Webster Lbr. Co.
and the James Wrigley Lbr. Co.
have just received carload of
building paper from Minneapolis,
the rate on which is 45 cents per
100 lbs. if shipped direct. The
rate on the same stuff to Aberdeen
is 23 cents per hundred.
To escape this exhorbitant rate
the car was shipped to Aberdeen
over the Great Northern Railway
on the % cent rate, and then turn
ed over to the Milwaukee paying a
rate of ID cents per 100 lbs. from
Aberdeen to Mobridge, making
the combination Of the two rates
3S cents per 100 IT.. or I cents less
than the through rate.
1t would look as If there was a
fine chance for the Commercial
club of the city to make a start
towards securing what many men
call the Missouri river rates,
but which we have not yet heard
properly defined.
Other rates that are excessive
are the rates on plaster and ce.
ment. The carload rate on plaster
from Fort Dodge, Ia, is l6 cents
per 100 lbs. to Aberdeen, to Mo-
bridge it is % cents per 100 lbs
The carload rate on cemenc from
Mason City, Ia, to Aberdeen is
e cents per 100 10. and to Mobridge
it is 26 cents per 100 Id.
a careful perusal of these tables
Of rates show that there is a heavy
additional tax for the 90 miles from
Aberdeen.
For instance lumber shipped
from Minneapolis to Aberdeen
carries a 20 cent rate and to Mo-
bridge p cent rate, difference
of only five cents per hundred
pounds but the extra tariff demand
ed on plaster and cement for the
same distance is ten cents and II
cents per 100 lbs.
1t is probable that close per-
usal Of the rates in other lines of
business show similar differences
and until these rates can be re-
duced to reasonable basis, there
is no use in expecting men to To-
cate here to work up a jobbing
business.

In the case Of the State VS.
Thomas Codon, who is charged
with murder, plea Of not guilty
was made by Condor. A motion
for continuance was filed the de-
fendant Condor, for the reason
that he is in INDECENT circumstance
without means to prepare a
defense as to subpoena witnesses
to appear and testify in his behalf.
A full disclosure was made and it
was ascertained that the defendant
is in fact wholly without the nee
essary means to pay for the SER
vices of subpoenas to summon the
witnesses, it was therefore ordered
that such expense be borne by the
County as the law provides. 1t
was agreed by the attorneys tor the
State and defendant that a cOntin-
uance of the case was necessary
until such time as these witnesses
could be subpoenaed and brought
to the court. A large jury will
necessarily nave to be drawn and
another continuance would cause
large expense and to prevent any
such possibility the case was con-
tinued until 9 a. m. June II, when
all will be in readiness for trial. =

horse to the buggy, and drive him,
too; she can round up the cows that

minister first-aid treatment of the

ills as hornet stings. chilblains and

pretty shrewd Judge Of cattle; she
can make and mend her own and her

cure meat, to shoot a marauding
hawk, to prune a roesbush, to make
soap. to beat carpet, to scale a

things as an adventure or a unique

Because she lives with the actual

DEFEAT CAUSED BY DRINKING
One Great Battle In American War for
Union Caused BY ofnesr Con-
fused by Liquor.

General o. o Howard gives the fol
lowing among other instances OF do
feat through drink In the American
war for the Union: In one OF our
great battles we suffered defeat. and
many OF US have believed that the
mistake which caused the defeat was
due TO an excess OF whisky drum by
the oficer In command had the tes-
timony from an of'icer who Was with
him that pitchers OF liquor were
brought TO his table, and that he and
those around him drank as freely
from them as II they contained only

gave we're the dipect opposite from
those he would have given had he not
been suddenly confused by drink. A
heavy loss OF men and material. and

A SCHOOL SAVINGS BANK

The most distinctive savings bank
in the world is not national bank ar
a Bank OF England, but little saw
ings bank in one Of the public schools
in Cincinnati. Under the guidance Of
Miss Sallie Webb, the teacher, over
a thousand little children are saving
their small change which formerly
was spent recklessly for sweets and
trinkets from yeuders who gather in
front of the school building and reap
a harvest of small coins from the
children.
This plan of allowing the children
% deposit their small change in this
unique savings bank was tried out in
one OF the grades last winter, and Il
proved 30 successful that the saw
ings bank was formally opened TO the
whole school at the beginning of the
present school term. The first week
brought in over $3.50 to the credit Of
the scholars. and two assistants had
to be called upon to help take care
of the many deposits.
The children make the deposits be-
fore school. at noon and after school.
So eager are the depositors to place
their ooinD in saving that a long line
always forms right after school is dis
missed. Several of the older scholars
