GOOD ROAD WORK

The Onida Watchman gives the follow
ing account of good roads enterprise in
our neighbor county (sully) on the south:
The three new county graders
arrived last week accompanied by
j. l. Overholt of Sioux Falls, who
will remain in charge and assist in
operating them until they are &C
cepted by the the county commits
siuners.
One Of the smaller machines has
been put to work in Commissioner
Eckert's district and the other is to
be taken over into Commissioners
Crawford's district, and if men
andteams can be found to run them
both will be able to- grade good
many miles of road before snow
flies.
The large machine, pulled by the
engine belonging to the Anderson
Bros. of Agar, with H. D. Yeager
as operator, has been put to work
on the long grade between the Dill
Ion and Brandt places on the road
between this place and Agar.
The machine does very good work
and under ordinary circumstances
will finish a mile of grade day.
If engines can be secured, ic is the
intention of the commissioners to
keep this machine busy until the
weather gets too cold to work aud
the grading this fall will probably
be confined principally to the main
north and south road running from
the Potter county line on the north
to the Black and Yellow Trail on
the South.
Rev. H. L. Burleson has accept
ed the appointment as missionary
bishop of South Dakota following
unanimous confirmation in the
house of deputies. and conservation
will occur at the cathedral in New
York city on December IA. The
convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church at St. Louis also
passed q canon under which South
Dakota will secure a second bishop
undoubtedly within one year. Such
second bishop will be known as a
missionary suffragan.
All. Bane, who for the past two
years has been living on what is
called the Davy ranch in Norfolk
township, has concluded to remain
there permanently, and last week
bought the entire tract, something
over 1900 acres, from Messrs Davy
Ewert and Ketchum, of Pierre the
former owners. This makes Mr..
Bane owner of one Of the best
ranches this side of the Missouri
river.-Onida Watchman.

Latest picture of Lord and Lady Shaughnessy

Montreal, Canada, Jan. 22.-The
highest honor that can be paid a pri-
vate citizen by the British govern
ment was awarded Sir Thomas
Shaughnessy, the son of a humble
Irish policeman of Milwaukee, Wis,
the first of this month when he was
created a lord of the realm. There
are many in Canada who do not be-
lieve in the distinctions of aristocracy,
but there Is general agreement that as
long as these honors must be award
ed there will be little complaint Of
men like Shaughnessy get them.
Shaughnessy himself has strong
views on his question Of aristocracy.
More than once he has expressed his
repugnance to an aristocracy Of
wealth. such as he believes prevails
in America, and for an aristocracy
Of family based on wealth, such as
prevails in England.
THE day is coming ne says,
when it will be considered vulgar
for a man to have more than $1,000
900. Aristocracy should be based on
brain, refinement and woodwork
that is well directed, useful and con-
scientious."
The deplorable thing about wealth,
he says, is its effect on children,
! making them self-satisfed and snob-
bish and believing they owe the
world nothing.
Character worth anything" he
observes, only comes from strug-
gle"
Shaughnessy has been described as
the ablest man in Canada. He has
the warm heart, hot impetuosity and
driving fervor of the typical Irish
man. And he is Irish through and
through.

by the sea Fort Tipperary before
"Tipperary' became the marching
song of British legions He is a
Roman Catholic and an ardent home
ruler, so that his new honor gives
satisfaction to an important constitu-
ency.
Lord Shaughnessy finds himself a
member of the house Of lords at the
age of 81, having been born in 1853 in
Milwaukee.
In 1901, when he was knighted, he
sent the following characteristic tele-
gram to his aged parents, still re-
siding in Milwaukee: you may be
gratified to know that his majesty

knighthood. One owes great deal

Lord Shaughnessy is the third of
a remarkable triumvirate of men
who have been developed by the Can

curately speaking, the Canadian Pa
cific has been developed by them.
First was Donald Smith Uord

Horne, also American-born, and last,
Van Horne's protege, Shaughnessy.
These men have built up a cor

position in Canada, Standard Oil in

In plain terms, at a conference be.

deed, held yesterday afternoon, Judge
Coke told the lawyers that he wanted

After making his statement, Judge
Coke asked the attorneys to think the
matter over and decide whether or not
they we're to raise any objection 80 his
sitting as judge in the case, and to do
SO before the actual trial began.
Judge Coke told the legal talent
which is arrayed on the several sides Of
