MitcAell.-Direct electric railroad

the text twenty months was forecast
by Col. T. d. Luce, general manager
of the Luce electric system, at a mass
meeting of Mitchell citizens. In re-
Spouse to this promise the vote was
carried to buy $4,000 OF stock to in
sure Mitchell's connection with the
system.
The projected line is a continuation
Of the interurban now building south

system to Madison. and Mitchell will
be the next point.
1t is said construction work has al
ready been done for forty miles on
the line outside of Minneapolis, with
trains already in operation for seven
teen miles over double tracks. The
proposition has been under considera-
ton in Mitchell for two months. Ac-
cording to Colonel Luce, the ultimate
destination of the road is the Mis-
souri, river, with a probable route
through Wheeler and Armour.
Since the agitation for a third road
into Mitchell has assumed definite
shape, there have been representa-
tives of three railroad systems in
Mitchell investigating the situation.
The projected road would tap rich

roads at present.

Nowlin.-To Miss Helen Lynch, Bud
Dalyrimple Of Scenic owes his life.
The rancher, accompanied by Miss
Lynch, who lives on an adjoining
claim, were returning through the
storm after killing a wolf which Miss
Lynch had discovered when Dalyrim-
pies horse was struck by lightning
and killed under him. The man vas
seriously injured, his face all black
ened and to all appearances he was
dead upon the ground. Almost against
hope the young oma persistently
used every available mean to resus-
citate him and as soon as she felt safe
to leave him hurried to the nearest
house two miles away for further as
sistance. And now this plucky young
woman is acting as nurse to the one
whose life she so nobly saved.

Unique Platform.

A man who is already quietly feeling
around with a view to running on the
ticket as city councilman, is giving his
ten reasons why he should be thus hon
ored by his fellow townsmen. He has
some very strong planks in his platform
and few that are quite unique. For
instance, he says that if he is elected he
will do his utmost to see that all dogs
have licenses. In his opinion dog is
no better than saloon, or man who is
going TO get married, and they have to
have licenses; besides, after a man is
married he leads dogs life, anyway,
and the candidate intends to devote his
best efforts TO prevent the canine having
the best of it over US any longer.-The

Running Newspapers.

Even the noted Munsey of magazine
fame, failed to make big newspaper
go. However, this does not deter or dis
courage hundreds of others without ex-
perience, ability or capital from trying

There is no business wherein ability,
experience and capital are more needed
than in the publication of newspaper.
But did you ever stop to think how ma
ny papers are being run without these
essential elements of newspaper success?
1t is not so easy nowadays as it used to
be to start paper without capital, but
there are few places left where this
can be done. AS for experience and
ability-well, did you ever see a human
being anywhere who didn't feel compe-

he didn't know galley from a grab.

Newspaper Wreeka3e.

II Is becoming an increasingly serious
proposition to run an up TO date news
paper in a progressive city. The other
day Portsmouth, O., Daily Blade sold
its plant and quit business. 1t is said
that several fortunes have been spent
on the Blade, but it was never even mod.
erately successful. A daily paper at
Carlisle, w. Va, suspended publication
about the same time after eating up
many thousands of dollars for its pro-
moters. OF the two papers left at Char
lesion, one is in the hands of a receiver.
At Waterloo, Ia, few days ago the
Daily Courier shut up shop at the fiftieth
year of its age, leaving only one daily in
the town, which has population OF
about 80, 900. In Chicago recently the
Inter Ocean went into a receivership.
In New Orleans this week the two morn
ing dailies, the Picayune and Times
Democrat, both long established, were
consolidated. There are but a few in
stances of the thinning out that is going
on in the newspaper field, and il is our
prediction that the thinning has only
fairly begun.
