There never was a newspapet lU’any
locality that gave all the news, says
an exchange. Persons often come and
go that the reporter does not see. It
often happens that a family is missed
several times. They get the impres
sion that the paper does not care tc
mention them. It is a mistake. The
paper has no ill feeling, nor spite noi
enmity against anybody. Don’t bt
afraid to give us your items of inter
est. Perhaps you think the papei
shows partiality, but try and see if it
don’t treat you as well, it given s
chance. If you don’t see us to tell uf
of any happenings or item at youi
home, send it in any time. Oall th<
office or our reBldebce phones and tel
us about it.

Burlington May Build North.
Sioux City Journal: Much signific
ance is thought to attach to the com
ing visit of James J. Hill to Sioux
City. Burlington railroad officials of
this city believe that he is here to give
out information regarding the con
struction of a Burlington line from
1 O’Neill, Neb., to Pierre, S. D.
Among local officials of the Burling
ton there is considerable talk about
f the building of this line during the
1 next year. The Burlington has been
t planning on getting Into South Da
t kota, and by placing this road between
. O’Neill and Pierre the company
s would tap one of the richest sections
r of South Dakota.
1 This line would make Sioux City a
. gateway for the Burlington to South
• Dakota and would increase the busi
e ness of the road through this city. Ex
tra facilities would have to be acquir
ed for handling the business, which
would mean that the yards and shops
here would be enlarged.
It Is thought that.the proposed line
would follow the caursn of the Miss
ouri river down to Bonesteel, branch
ing oil there and going direct to
O’Neill. This toad would; permit the
Burlington to seDd stock from South
Dakota lute Sioux City, where it could
besoid. Other freight could be taken
from South Dakota'(through Sioux
City into Omaha, and then shipped on
through to Chicago and the east.
Freight from the east oould be
wrought to Omaha and then sent
north tu South Sioux City, being ship
ped through O’Neill into the towns of
South Dakota.
Sioux Oity officials of the Burling
ton assert t hat the talk about the
buildtug of this line is not Idle gossip
of the winter months. They are cer
tain the road will be built within a
Short time.
THEIR COLORS.
A Touch of Human Naturo Amid tha
Horrors of War.
Out of the midst of the'bloody hor
rors of the battle of Fredericksburg
comes a sweet and touching incident
which goes to proven that-the rage of
battle cannot obliterate- the teaderness
dwelling in the hearts o£ men. The
story Is taken from - Major Robert
Stiles’ "Four Tears Under Massa Rob
ert” The Federal army -was entering
the town, shot was flying in all direc
tions, and Buck, a Confederate sol
dier, was peering round, the corner of
a house.
A little three-year-old, fair haired
baby girl toddled out of the alley, ac
companied by a Ntowfouwdland dog,
and in the midst o£ the hissing shells
chased a cannon baft down the street
Buck grounded his gun, dashed out
into the storm and swung his great
right arm round-the baby. Then he
ran after his company, the little one
clasped to his breast
The companyrteok- refuge behind the
stone wall which has now became his
toric, and there for hours and daysiof
terror the baby was kept. Fierce
nurses took turns in petting ber while
the storm of battle raged and shriek
ed. Never was a baby so cared for,
and scouts scoured the countryside to
get her milk.
When the struggle was over and the
Federal army had left the company
behind the wall received the post of
honor In the van to lead the column
into the town. Buck stood about in
the middle of the regiment, the baby
In his arms. There was a long halt,
and the brigade staff hurried to and fro.
The regimental color# were not to be
found.
Suddenly Buck sprang to the front.
He swung-aloft the baby girl, her lit
tle garments fluttering like the folds
of a banner, and shouted;,
“Forward, men of the'Twenty-first!
Here are our colors!”
Off started the brigade, cheering
