Railroad Extension Rumors.
Gregory Advocate : A letter from
Grindstone , a small town a short dis
tance off the railroad In the western
part of Stanley county , under date of
August II , says that surveyors of both
the Northwestern and the Milwaukee
& St. Paul railroads are working In
that vlrtinlty so quietly that their
presence did not become known until
a few days ago. Now It is regarded
as certain that this inland point is to
have a railroad. The Milwaukee &
St. Paul has run a sorvoy from Ko-
doka to Belle Fourcho with the Idea
of connecting the coast line with that
from Chamberlain to Rapid Slty. The
Northwestern Is preparing to build
from Gregory to Belle Fourcho , crossIng -
Ing the Milwaukee line at Murdo , and
their own Pierre line at Philip , thence
in as near a straight line as possible
to Belle Fourche. It Is the purpose
of the Northwestern road to com
mence Its extension at Gregory , run
ning in a northwesterly direction , en
tering Trlpp county a little south and
west of Dlxon , thence on the most
feasible route to the point above In
dicated. By making Gregory the startIng -
Ing point of Its proposed extension ,
the road will avoid thc solidly allotted
lands In the center of Trlpp county
and pass through the northern and
best party of the county , whore there
are very few allotments , nnd where
the line will have to look for local
patronage.
A want ad. is cheaper.
AN AIR OF FRESHNESS WILL
GREET SHOW PATRONS.
ALL THE WOODWORK REPAINTED

All of the wookwork In the big play
house Is being repainted. The scrub
brush has been everywhere' . And the

MENTAL ATTITUDE.
( By Fra Elbertus. )
Whenever you get out of doors ,
draw the chin in , carry the crown of
the head high , and fill the lungs to
the utmost ; greet your friends with
a smile , nnd put soul Into every hand
clasp. Do not fear being misunder
stood ; and never waste a minute
thinking about your enemies. Ty to
fix firmly in your mind what you
would like to do , and then without
violence or direction you will move
straight to the goal. Keep your minden
on thc great and splendid things you
would like to do ; and then , as the
days go gliding by , you will find your
self unconsciously seizing the oppor
tunities that are required for the ful
filment of your desire , just as the
coral Insect takes from the running
tide the elements It needs. Picture
In your mind the able , earnest , use
ful person you desire to be and the
thought you hold hourly Is transform
ing you Into that particular Individual.
Thought Is supremo. Preserve a right
mental attitude the attitude of cour
age , frankness and good cheer. To
think rightly Is to create. All things
come through desire , and every sin
cere prayer Is answered. Wo become
like that on which our hearts arc
fixed. Carry your chin In and the
crown of your head high. Wo arc
gods In the chrysalis.
