MAY ACQUIRE ROAD
BELIEVED THE MILWAUKEE
WILL TAKE OVER THE SOUTH
DAKOTA CENTRAL.

WATERFOWL, April 17.-Following
the issuance of the decree by Judge
James ID. Elliott at Sioux Falls. which
will result in the sale OF the South
I Dakota Central railway within thirty
days, there are persistent rumors
afloat that the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul railway, OF parties asso-
ciated herewith, contemplate steps
to procure this road. 1t is a we'll es-
tablished fact that the Milwaukee is
the most logical line to con-
troll of the Central in cas- it is sold,
as by linking up the Watertown end
OF the line with the main line of the
Milwaukee at either Summit or Ort-
ley, the Milwaukee would secure a
very valuable feeder which operates
through a rich territory with its
southern terminus at Sioux Falls.
Another rumor Is that grading crews
that did work on the proposed north
ern extension of the Central from
WATERFOWL over a year ago, are ac-
cumulating supplies sufficient for a
seasons work, preparatory to again
resuming work on the unfinished
grade north from Watertown to some
I point on the Milwaukee. That work
! is to be carried on for the purpose of
completing the grade is very plausi-
BILE in view of the statement made
several months ago by representa-
tives of the bondholders that If
through the sale of the railroad, an
extensive program of road improve
ment would be carried out.

MADISON GRAIN MARKET.
SIOUX CITY LIVESTOCK MARKET

Sioux City, April 1.-THE closing
day of the week brought only 800
head of cattle, as compared with 1911
the same day last week and 121 the
corresponding Saturday a year ago.
A complete recovery was effected
i'm the price list for killing cattle
from the declines noted early in the
week, SO that final rates were on a
par with those of a week ago.
Continued pressure on stocker and
feeder prices resulted in a sharp
downturn for practically all kinds.
Declines were anywhere from a dime
to Acc off from a week ago.
There was not much bloom to the
market for hogs, and little business
was transacted before IL o'clock.
Bids and sales were considered SO
loo lower than the best time yester-
day. Top was at $9.65, with the
bulk of sales at $40 a 9.55.
Steady prices prevailed all week
for the meager showing Of sheep that
was offered buyers.

insane over ELECTION
JAMES HIGGINBOTHAM, or lie
BANON, IL COMMITTED TO
YANKTON ASYLUM.

Gettysburg, April 1.-THE ap-
proach of the presidential election
has wrested reason from the mind Of
James Higginbotham, a laborer, 40
years of age, of Lebanon. according
to the findings of the board of insan-
ity here. Two months ago Higgin-
botham quit his job as a farm labor
er and began boarding at a hotel in
Lebanon. Naturally moody, this CON
dition increased until a week ago he
refused to leave his bed at the hotel
and the proprietor carried his meals
to him and cared for him. Complaint
was made yesterday charging him
with being insane and he was com
mitted to the asylum. He talks ra-
~tionally on current topics, but says
he has gone crazy each presidential
election for years and he feels it COM
ing on again. hat after recovering
on former occasions he has been told
that he had been violent and he
wants to be taken in charge before
he Injuries anyone. When Sheriff
Herbison took him into the Jail Hig-
ginbotham removed two large jack
knives and some miscellaneous pa
pers from his pockets and gave them
to the sheriff, remarking that he had
always before been required to give
up everything and he supposed he
should do so this time. He was found
to be in good health except that he
complains of a pain i'm his head.
Failure in a restaurant enterprise at
Seneca last fall is said to have been
the beginning of his present trouble.

He was returning home with hi:
wife from a call on her parents. anc

it necessary to pass to drive close
to a ditch.
Fearing his automobile would fall
into the ditch. he stopped the engine
Getting out, he cranked the engine
and it fired and at once started for
ward, as it had been left in high gear
Mr. Marlborough made desperate
attempt to stop the machine. His chin
was caught and his neck was broken.
A brother who had followed him,
though the road was out Of his way,
came up soon after the accident and
took the widow into his car. The

A Dastardly Crime.

As the Carolina Special" was
pulling out from the station here
Sunday night bystander discover
ed a crosstie jammed into one of
the trucks of a Pullman, and called
the attention of the crew to the
fact. The train was stopped and
the tie removed after some fifteen
minutes hard work. Investigation
showed that two crossties had been
placed on the track between Dor
chester and Ridgeville. The engine
evidently threw one tie from the
track, but the other was picked up
by a truck of a Pullman and was
securely wedged in the truck and
brought a distance of some fifteen
miles. Fortunately, and wonderful
it is that no serious damage was
done to the train or the truck. 1t
was narrow escape from serious
wreck.
After the tie was removed the
train ran off and left Flagman War
rem, who had been sent back to
guard the rear of the train, and he
was forced to spend the night in
Summerville.
Detectives are investigating the
matter, and it is hoped that they
will be able to bag the miscreantS
who attempted this wholesale slaugh-
ter tcr-.NmnlerrlHe Adterti$e'.

Unique Test Of Honesty.

DR. Riley has proved that the peo-
ple of this town are more than honest.
Every visitor to his store was at
tracted to the notice stuck up in a
box on one OF the out of the way
counters reading Stamps. help your
self and make the change 1t has
been the custom for generations for
the drug stores to keep stamps for the
accommodation of the public after
postofice hours, and the fact that
the stamps were there was not a sur
prise. but the fact that the customer
was to wait on himself, and take cut
what he wanted, make his own
change and go his way rejoicing.
The opportunity was a tempting
one for any customer not strictly hon.
est, for he had every advantage, but
not only did the Riley Drug Company
not lose anything. but in the week
that they have tried the plan they
have come out two cents ahead, in
stead of being short changed, some
customer thought that in getting
stamps that way the necessary four
cents on the two letters was worth a
penny interest to the drug store.
DR. Riley, being man with great
faith in his fellow man. and no small
degree of brotherly love is delighted
with the success of his plan, though
it was not primarily intended as a
test for the honesty of the people of
the tv.-Fl0rence Times.
