SOUTH DAKOTA
FOUR COMPANIES
IN 1895 208 NOW
TELEPHONE BUSINESS BOOMS IN
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Over 10,000 Miles of Wire and Fully
One-half the Companies of the Farm
er Class-Vast Trans-Missouri Region
Will Give Plenty of Room for Future
Expansion.
TODAY'S NEWSJOB THENORTHWEST
Special to The Journal,
Picric, S July 26The repoits filed
with the state auditor for the purpose of tele
phone assessments show that there has been an
iuciease of slxtj five such companies In the
state since the return was made to the boaid
a year ago,-making 208 separate companies
which have reported this year
This growth of telephone business has been
the woik of less thau ten years The report
of the auditor for 1895 showed four companies
-opeiatlngat Aberdeen, in the Black Hills and
the Zsorthwesteru and Watertown companies,
two of which were only local exchanges In
that year the Black Hills company returned 208 T()WA
miles of wire and the Northwestern sixteen
miles which were all the toll lines in the
state, much of the Black Hills mileage being
in the local systems
This business had grown until the report of
last jear showed 8,800 mUes of line in the
state and the increase this year will make it
over 10 000 miles and a large amount of this
Is of farmers lines whjch bring the agricultural
communities in touch with the outside world
While fully half the companies are of the
farmer class they of course do Hot make up
half the mileage as the long distance toll lines
and the cities make up the largest part The
first of the independent lines on the record were
the Zeltlow which showed up in the 1807
reports, and since then the Independents have
been extending every year until it is a very
small hamlet and an isolated farm which have
not telephone communication
The giowth of the telephone business has slm
ply been wonderful, and as It has the whole
countrv west of the Missouri to expand in, it

How in Asylum.

agents along the line noticed something wrong
with the messenger, but It waa not until Mlnot
had been reached that It was determined fully
he had gone Insane He was taken in charge
and sent back to Grand Forks In a day or
two he appeared to improve and was taken to

Sues Drug Firm for Damages.
The trial of the case of Jacob Scherer ad
mlnlstrator of Francis Scherer, deceased against
Schlaberg & Griffith was resumed in the district
court this morning All the jurors not en
gaged in the case have been excused, this
being the last to be tried at a term of court
that has run from almost the first of June
This' action is brought to recover damages
in the sum of $5 000 The plaintiff asserts
that the drug firm delivered to him a wrong
prenerlptMn, and that instead of giving him
powders a liquid was delivered intended for
someone else This medicine contained morphine
and two dosea were administered which, the
father says, resulted in the death of his
daughter
The drug ftrti, while admitting that an error
was made in the delivery of the prescriptions
contends that the parents were also negligent
in that they had been told by the attending
physician that a powder would be prescribed,
and they took the bottle plainly labeled with
the name of the person to whom it belonged
and administered it to their child
It is further contended that all effects of
the morphine were removed by prompt action
bv the physician, who also testified that he
used the usual antidotes and remained with
the child until all morphine effects had been
entirely removed Death, be says, was due to
yraemlc poisoning
nerves, general debility! We wish you would ask your own doctor about
this. Ask him to tell you honestly what be thinks it will do for your case.
