STANLEY COUNTY WAS /%i SECOND AND SULLY COUNTY WAS THIRD Hughes County Was Not Allowed to Compete—All Counties Had Good Exhibits—Failure to Get Excurs ion Rates Affected the Attendance. Pierre, Sept. 24.—(Special to the American.)—The prizes for exhibits at the Gas Belt Exposition went, first, to Hyde county second, to Stanley, and third, to Sully for coun ty exhibits, Hughes not being allow ed to contest. George Schreiber of Sully was given first on fruit ex hibit, he having been engaged in •fruit .culture in that county for years. E. Y. Green of Peoria town ship, Hughes county was given first on farm exhibit and E. D. Stoddard of Canning, who conducts an irrigat ed garden at that place was given first on garden exhibit. All the counties competing had good exhibits when it is considered that no move was made to start an exposition at this city this fall until about ninety days ago. Th! same thing worked against the exposition in every way, and through an unfortunate misun derstanding in regard to rates the Black Hills attendance was cut down. Efforts to secure special day trains on. the Northwestern road east of the river were a failure, and this also handicapped the attendance. The Banda Rossa was an attraction which will draw a far better attendance in future years. While everything had to be done in short order, visit ors from the eastern part of the state all expressed surprise at what had been done in the time occupied, and with more time the exposition of next year will far surpass that this year. While the crowds were not up to expectation, the manage ment is well satisfied with the fin ancial part of the exposition and will extend the scope of the exhibi tion next year.

McGLACHHN DOES NOT WAIT FOR STAND-UP-AND-.. DELIVER ORDER. •, n, ip Holdup Man Came Out of Alley and Walked Into the Street—Mr. Mo Glachlin Anticipated He Wanted to Get Behind Him—The Intended Victim, However, Went Up the Alley Himself. It„. 111 Hi? R. E. McGlachlin, the candy man ufacturer, came near being the vic tim of, another holdup Monday even ing, and but for his cool judgment he would have been without a hand some gold watch today. He had 'been in a store across from Gottschalk's opera house during the evening, and left there about 10:30. As he left the store he saw a man walking slowly by, but he thought nothing of it at the time. But when he left the place the fellow suddenly disappeared. Mr. McGlachliiir start ed for home, and just as he was pass ing the College inn the same man came out of. the alley and walked into the street. The fellow evidently thought that his man would go up Third avenue, and he expected to get behind him. But his in tended victim was clever and cut through the alley to his home at the corner of Second avenue and Wash ington street. He went in, but did not strike a light, and instead watch, ed for his follower, and in a minute he saw him appear on the corner. He stopped and looked in all directions for his victim, and, not finding him, he turned back in the direction he had come from. RAILROAD NEWS" SBS iiia President Earling with the Mil waukee officials passed through here yesterday morning on the board of directors' special. The party was en route to Chicago. The train was com posed of two parlor cars, the St. Paul and Wisconsin, and a baggage car. ''HUlt is probable," said an old rail road mafi yesterday, "that when the new Milwaukee extension is complet ed many improvements will be made at Aberdeen. It is probable that the present Milwaukee station will be en larged so that it will border on Main street, for undoubtedly there will be of a vast amount of baggage to be trans, ferred on the various divisions. There must also be machine shops added tp repair the cars and engines which may break down on the various divis ions. They are now being sent to St. Paul or 'Minneapolis when they meet with any great mishap, and the road must have a nearer shop than that, and there is every evidence to show it will be built here. Agent Joyce of the Great Nor thern has received notice of the ad vanced rate on lumber from the coast which will take effect November 1. The notice comes from the traffic de partment in St. Paul, and they issue orders to post these notices in the depot. The changes on lumber will be $50, which before was $40, and shingles $60, which before-were $50 "The worK on the Pacific extension is progressing as fast as it is said to be. Although it was expected' the new system would reach Lemmon last Saturday, it will probably be a few days yet before that place is heached. v. There will be a special train, over the Milwaukee road in the near fu tiire for those who may desire to see the country along the new exten sion. The exact date has not yet been set, but it will probably be after the extension reaches Lemmon. Forty-one passengers boarded the special Milwaukee train yesterday morning which gave a reduced rate to those who wished to attend the Corn Palase at Mitchell.' This is a much larger crowd than the one that took the special to the Huron fr.!r. iSSM An idea of the immensity of the new $3,000,000 eteel bridge which Is being built at Mobrldge can be had from the fact that two pieces of steel for the bridge passed through here yesterday so large that it took two cars -to ship them on. i? sf REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Isabel S.
