BOND ISSUE BY LUCE LINE
Electric Short Line Company to Secure
Money to Complete Railroad

On Friday the financial department
of the Minneapolis Journal had the fol-
lowing of interest to Bookings peo'
pie:
Negotiations are under way between
the Electric Short Line Railway COM
pany of Minneapolis. known as the
Luce Line" and three eastern bond
houses, looking toward a large bond
issue by the company. The purpose
of bonding the road will be to extend
the line to Madison. S. D., a distance
of 216 miles, and to build branches.
This will bring the total mileage up to
$50. The amount of the bond issue
has not yet been decided upon.
The electric road runs directly west
from Minneapolis, through a fine agri-
cultural and dairying country. West of
Hutchinson, Mimi, it will for a con-
siderable distance be in an independ-
en- territory, as there will be no rail-
road either to the north or south for
about fifteen miles.
In the June report of the company
the following appears, referring to the
assets:
THE figures include eel 120 miles
of right-of-way, fifteen miles Of Dad in
operation and accepted by the railroad
and warehouse commission, six miles
additional completed road subject to
the acceptance of the railroad and
warehouse commission of June 8, nine
teen miles additional road completed
as to bridges bridges and culverts on
which about 60 per cent of the grad
ing is completed. The nineteen miles
will be ready for operation in a short
time and will bring us to Winsted,
Mimi, forty miles west of Minneapolis.
In our yards we have ten miles of
seventy-pound steel, $4,000 ties and
we have purchased for July and August
delivery twenty miles of steel and 1OO,-
900 ties, which have been partly paid
for"
It will, however, be noticed that the
statement quoted above was made
nearly two months ago and since that
time the road has made substantial
progress. The road to Winsted is
practically completed and steel and
ties for an additional thirty miles has
been delivered or will be delivered
within a short time. The Line is max
ing rapid progress with its construc-
ton work and has more than the forty
miles necessary upon which to base it's
bond issue.

HOSPITAL HAPPENINGS

The last report gives thirty-six towns
as having had patients in the hospital
this year. The report shows also
that more and more the home folks are
staying at home when needing hos
pital services.
The field secretaries have visited
De Smet, Trenton, Watertown, and
Madison churches this month in the
interest of the institution.
At the board meeting July 16, Mr..
w. A. Caldwell was elected a mem
Der of the board of managers to fill a
vacancy caused by removal of a
former member. Members Of the
association agree that in securing the
services of Mr.. Caldwell the hospital
has gained a strong friend.
Mr.. H. L. Hopkins Of Clark, took
time from other duties when in Brook
ings last week to spend an hour or
more at the hospital enquiring inter
estedly into the progress of the institu-
ton. Mr.. Hopkins sees so clearly the
need of the annual aid from friends
that he has put his belief into practice
by subscribing to the free bed fund.
Because the D~caconess Aid meeting
came so near the Fourth and just ar
the beginning of the chautauqua the
attendance did not justly the holding
of the regular business session on that
date. The quarterly meeting Of the
society will be held in the United Pres
byterian church July %, at 8 o'clock.
There are special interests to be con,
sidered and a full attendance is de-
sired.
Among the out of town guests re-
Gently have been DR.. J. H. Crawford OF
Castlewood, Mrs. Johanna Ruehl Of
White, Rev. John Wood and Mr.. Aug
ust Kreger of Clear Lake, Mr.. Roy
Elberts of Elkton, Mr.. Saleus Optic
dahl of Astoria, and Mr.. o. E. York OF
Huron. While there have been a
greater number than usual of the
home folks in the hospital. All may
be reported either well or improving.

MUST HELP

Farmers whose hogs are afflicted
with cholera are under moral obliga.
ton to prevent the spread of the dis
ease, according to DR.. c. c. Lipp, vet.
erinarian at State College. He says:
ut is a frequently quoted truth that
we are our brothers keepers. This
applies with especial emphasis to the
control Of hog cholera. If a farmer
has cholera in his herd he will be his
brothers keeper If he will prevent by
every means possible the spread OF
the disease to his neighbors' herds.
He will war; his n%eighbors of the pres.
ence of the disease and the dangers
attending his visit to the infected yard
He will guard against the spread OF
the disease by dogs. In fact he will
do his utmost to confine cholera to his
own herd and farm"

IT WASN'T

What might have been a fatal acct
dent happened yesterday morning over
at Jos. Funk's barn. 1t seems that
Virgil Funk picked up an old rife
down at the dump grounds the even
ing before. Virgil and two or three
other boys were looking at the rusty
old gun when they found a % car
fridge in 1t. Part of the gun was gone
but the barrel was there and when
Alden Pool tried to get the cartridge
out it was discharged the bullet hit
ting Virgil in the left knee. DR..
Bailey was summoned at once to dress
the wound and he found no bones
broken. If no complications set in
Virgil will soon be as well as ever.
The old saying has again proved true
that a gun is dangerous without lock
stock, or barrel.--Lake Preston Times.

CARNIVAL STARTS TODAY
Capital City Amusement Company
Opens at Fair Grounds for 8 Days

With bands playing, flags waving,
bankers spelling and the merry
laughter of both young and old on all
sides, the Bookings grand gala week
and midsummer carnival will be
thrown open to the public. Thursday
evening, July % at 1870 o'clock sharp
at the fair grounds.
The lot will be completely decorated

Capital City Amusement Company,
who furnish the many attractions for
the B~rOOkings gala week and carnival
will leave Thursday morning by special
train for Bookings and will arrive in
the city by way of the Northwestern
railroad at 5 o'clock and will i'm
mediately unload their heavy special
train.
The Capital City Amusement Com
pany carry all new shows and riding

special novelties to delight lovers Of
this form of amusement.
At the free open air H~ippodrome the
public will have an opportunity of
seeing the latest European thriller
THE Flying DsClairvilles" in the
Whirl of Death, one of the Capital
City Amusement Company's leading
attractions.
The Notordrome. a new novelty, an
almost perpendicular portable race
track, where Dare Devil Hedges and
Edwards race on motorcycles, riding
to the dizziest heights, the most pre-
cipitous and torturous loops and
curves imaginable while going at a
speed of more than a mile a minute is
one of the most thrilling, sensational,
and gripping exhibitions ever present
ed to the American public.
Refreshment booths will also be To-
Gated in the park where visitors may
eat, drink, and be merry. In fact the
B~rookings gala week and midsummer
festival bids fair to be the most popu-
lar and best diversion of it's kind ever
held in the city of Bookings.

DAYLIGHT HOLDUP

At an early hour last evening, a
hobo attempted to hold up a party OF
well known Madison ladies', who were
returning from a picnic at Island park.
Had it not been for the presence Of
mind of the young lady at the wheel,
they would probably have suffered the
loss of a few watches, etc., as the
tramp was a very desperate looking
individual. Needless to say, 1t was a
very frightened party of picnicers who
returned to their homes, resolved
never to go outside the city limits
without a "man" along. even though
the sun be far up in the heavens al
was the case in this instance.-Madi-
Sol Sentinel.

A HOME

This weeks issue of the Volga Tri'
bune says:
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an item clipped from the Bookings
Register suggesting that Brookings
have a Home Chautauqua for three or
four days during the latter part of the
summer. The suggestion is a mighty
good one and the Tribune often won
ders why towns and cities do not plan
to have these home affairs once in a
while.
1t will be remembered hat three
years ago Volga had a Home Chautau-
qua and it attracted attention all over
the state. 1t was held on Thurs
day evenings and continued for six
weeks. The prelude was made up of
instrumental and vocal music, recita,
tions, etc, which were followed by a
lecture. Lectures were given by Rev.
f. P. Lemon, who at that time was
pastor of the local Presbyterian church
and who conceived the plan and had
charge of the meetings; Supt. Sey-
mour, who gave a practical lecture,
taking for his subject How Many
Strikes" DR.. Simmons, who talked on
the are of teeth; DR.. Seaman, who
gave an illustrated lecture on tubercul-
osis; A. B. Dalthorp, whose theme was
citizenship, and others. These meet
ings were free to everyone and those
who contributed in any way to the pro-
gram did so without charge. The at
tendance increased each week until
the last two or three meetings. the S. R.
o. sign had to be put out.
1t would seem that it would be a
very easy matter to get up a Home
Chautauqua at Brookings. They have
C~hristensen's orchestra and band, two
of the finest musical organizations in
the northwest, Dean Hedge and his
musicians from the college, and a lot
of other musical talent, and as far as
lecturers are concerned, the Tribune
will not endeavor to enumerate, as
there are so many good ones among
the professors at the college, the min
listers, lawyers, etc.
If the Home Chautauqua plan is
carried out it would be more agree
able to the people living outside Of
Brookings, and who would like to at
tend, If the meetings could be strung
out to one or two a week. instead Of
bulking them altogether.

DEFEATS LABOR TRUST

A labor trust went down to defeat al
Redfeld when it came into conflict
with a certain hard-muscled farmer
who escorted a harvest hand employe
out to his farm at the point of a gun
The gun was to defend the man from
500 angry men who didn't want him
to go.
Redfeld has been the rendezvous
for between 500 and 500 men seeking
work in the harvest fields for the last
few days. On Thursday they called a
council of the horde which filled the
streets and the men decided they
would not take any work in the fields
for less than 81 a day.
B. c. Young, a farmer near town
came in to get a hand to help him and
picked up a man who agreed to work
at $3.50 a day. AS soon as this news
of the break in the trust prices was
spread a mob of several hundred men
assembled and as Young and his hand
started for the farm an attack was
made upon them. Mayor Randolph
took a hand in the affairs at about
this moment and succeeded in dispers,
ing the crowd for the time being.
Young, however, fastened to a hard
ware store and purchased a gun and
ammunition and announced to the
crowd to "come on if they thought he
wasn't going to take his hired help
home" No effort was made to molest
him.

WAR ON HOG CHOLERA

Approximately 5000 600 will be spent
by the federal government in its hog
cholera demonstration work in Da-
vison county, which has been designat-
ed as the county in South Dakota as
the base of the warfare against the
disease, says a Mitchell dispatch. Davi-
son county also has been placed in
class "A" by the department of agri-
culture, which implies that every farm
herd Of swine ~quarantined and a close
record kept of the health of the ami
mails, and the farmers of every town,
ship organized.
The demonstration work is made
possible by the recent congressional
appropriation of $500, 900, by which the
warfare against hog cholera is to be
conducted on a scientific basis in Is
states, in one county in each state.
The federal government will send a
corps of experts to Dawson county.
One mar also will be furnished by the
State College at Brookings to assist
in the work and another by the state
sanitary commission. The results of
the experiments and methods of com
batting the disease will be taken by
the federal government as typical of
South Dakota.
1t is expected that the government
experts will commence work not later
than September /

TWO BAD

Last Friday morning, Mrs. John
TeKroney met with a frightful acct
dent. She was in a buggy driving
with a sister when the horse became
unmanageable and IA away. The
buggy was overturned and Mrs. TIE
Kroney was thrown to the ground In
such a manner as to literally peel the
flesh from the bones of her face and
neck. The injured woman was i'm
mediately brought to the home Of DR.,
Bates here where she is receiving
medical treatment, and is recovering
nicely. The wound in her face was
filled with dirt and gravel and 1t took
the doctor several hours to cleanse the
wound and stitch the flesh back into
place. The unfortunate woman will
be disfigured for life. On Saturday the
infant child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter
Adolph north of town was frightfully
scalded and for a time his life was dis
paired of, but we are pleased to state
that under the skillful treatment OF
DR.. Bates, the child is recovering
nicely. The child was at play about
the floor when its mother poured of
the water from a pot Of potatoes she
was boiling for dinner, when the little
boy sat down in the pail. The burns
were something fierce, but the doctor
gave quick relief upon his arrival, and
now the child is on the road to re
covery.-Clear Lake Courier.
