John Wilde was among yesterday 's
visitors from Llvona. He has hopes
of being able to securc a sawing out tit,
this winter, an?1 with it to cut up the
timber that was killed on his place
two years ago.
Mrs. L. S. Chapman, accompanied
by Nellie and Albert, left last evening
for Idaho to join Mr. Chapman, where
the family will doubtless remain a
year: they having leased their farm to
Archie and Artie Frederick.
J. W. Mikesell, a popular Ciierry
Grove farmer, was in Hazelton yester
day on his way home from a business
visit to Linton. It was his first visit
to the county capital since tiling on his
homestead, three years ago, and he
was greatly surprised at its growth.
Commissioner Buchanan and son
Will drove to Linton, Friday, where
the former completed the purchase of
a valuable quarter-section of land near
his farm, formerly owned by Frank
Donnelly, of Bismarck. This purchase
is another instance of the faith of an
old-timer in the future of the state.
Dr. Snyder was called to the home of
Commissioner and Mrs. Buchanan last
evening, where he found their oldest
son, Will, suffering with a badly shat
tered collar bone.* The young man
had mounted a mare and proceeded to
take a ride with no other means of
guidance than a halter. The animal
ran away with liim and finally fell,
throwing him in such a manner as
produce the fracture. Ilis youth and
hardy constitution will soon bring him
out, though the first, week or wo will
be rather trying to an ambitious lad of
Will's age.
For a time it looked as though Ha
zelton schools were to be without a
male principal, but now those troubles
are over and the school is progressing
finely under the direction of \V. E.
Bowen, of Ong, this state, who arrived
Monday evening and began teaching
the next day. Mr. wenis a teacher
of considerable experience and comes
well recommended. He has a home
stead near Ong and will probably stay

has been in charge of Miss McManus,
of the primary room, and lier place
has been filled by Miss Mabel
Hoop.
Yesterday morning Station Agent

asked for a warrant for W. if. John
son, alleging that said Johnson had
taken express packages from the depot
during the agent's absence, and on
which there should have been collect
ed something like $28. Mr. Geil ad
vised that the sheritT first he notified,
as it was probable that Johnson might
be overhauled at Linton and the ex
press charges collected without ex
pense. Sheriff Jones was communicat
ed with and had 110 trouble in making
Johnson "cough up" without arrest.
This is the same ohn.son who became
notorious some weeks ago, and who
afterward bragged that his arrest at
that time did him no damage, but. pa
the contrary, helped his clothing busi
ness.

Milwaukee Railway
EiiUmIiw.
Chicago Tribune: Three new divis
ions on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway will be opened for train
service early In December.
Two or these divisions were con
structed recently: and the other, a
short line in Minnesota, was pur
chased. The combined additions com
prise 424 tniles, giving the Milwaukee
system a total mileage of 7,830.
The longest of these brandies runs
21!) miles through tne White river val
ley, from Chamberlain, S. D., to Rapid
City. S. I). This will be known as the
Black Hills division, and close connec
tiou will be made at Cbamberlaini,
with through service to Dubuque and
Chicago. Train service will be estab
lished over it on Dec. 1st.
On the same date the company will
begin operating the Duluth, St. Cloud,
Ulencoe & Mankato railway, reoently
purchased, known as "The Alphabet
Road." This line, which runs forty
miles from Albert Lea to St. Cl&ir,
Minif, will le known as the St. Clair
branch or the Southern Minnesota di
vision.
The most important opening, how
ever, will be the first section of the
Pacific Coast extension. Train service
will be established on Dec. 2d from
Mobridge, S. I the point where the
Milwaukee crosses the Missouri river,
to Bowman, N. D., a distance of 105
miles. This division will have twenty
live out of the eighty-five stations to be
located on the extension eastof Butte.
It is announced that 200 miles of
rails have been laid and much of the
grading already completed as far as
the Montana line. The town of Bow
man, the terminus of the line this
winter, was formally opened on Nov.
21st. and, despite the prevailing iiard
times, the lot sales are declared to
have compared favorably with those
of towns opened earlier in the year.
Not Much Saved.
A rather amusing story is told by an
exchange of a man who went to a
hardware store in his town to pur
chase an ax. Being shown the article
and informed that the price was $1.15,
he said: "Why, 1 can get the same
kind of an ax from Bears St Hawbuck
for ninety cents." "Very well," said
the dealer, "I wili sell it to you for
the same price, providing you will do
witli me as you would with them.''
"All right," replied he customer, as he
handed over a dollar the dealer hand
ing him back 10 cents in change.
•Now,"' said the dealer, "1 want 3S,
cents more to pay express charges."
This the customer handed over. "Now,
how much does the ax cost you?" "A
dollar and 15 cents," answered the
man. "Very well," remarked thedealer.
"Now, give me 5 cents more for money
order fees and postage," which the
purchaser also handed over. "Now,
how much does your ax cost you?"
"One twenty," said the ctstomer.
"Not so cheap after all," said the
dealer. Whereupon he picked up the
ax, tossed it back upon the shelf and
told the customer to call for it in ten
days, as that would be as soon as he
could get it if he ordered it from a
catalogue house.

NOW IS THE TIME
When Emmons county farmers "think It over" and make up their
mind that it Is time for them to build that barn or that house.
And, before they begin the actual work, it would be a good idea for
them to go to the
DACOTM LUMBER COMPANY'S
Yard in Linton and talk over the matter with Manager Ilaas. He
will help you to select the stock you need for building, and will guar
antee to satisfy you as lo quality and price. They have a large num
ber of yards on the Missouri Slope, and, as they handle stock in large
quantities, they get good rates and can thus treat their customers
right. They are also dealers in the various kinds of COAL.
