Hullo. Nch. , Fob. 1C. Special to
The NOWH : Inre breaking out at 11
o'clock last night ft the Odd Follows
hall hero completely destroyed that
building , burned to the ground Mrs.
Leslie's restaurant and came very
nearly burning the Oxford hotel.
Uul for the vacant lot between the
liotcl and the Odd Fellows hall , It is
feared the entire business part of
town might have gono. The hotel , as
It was. caught lire many times , only
to bo saved by heroic work.
jfirnve's atorc caught Uro ut the
rear 1ml. being of concrete blocks , It
was saved.
The Eastern Star lodge had just left
tlho hall , which vnis used for all kinds
of lodge meetings , a short ttmc before

was the cause of the fire.
The .lower part of the building was
useil for a primary school room.

People In the Leslie restaurant had
no time to dress , and were compelled
.to get out into the cold night air in
.their night clothes.

rGEORGE A. KENDALL WEDS.
Well Known Railroad Man Marries
Young Lady at West Point.
West Point , Nob. , Feb. 15. Specla
to The News ; Miss Lettlo Rcadlnger
daughter of Judge II. K. Read
inger , was united In marriage
to George A. Kendall of Norfolk
at the home of the bride , Dr. G
'Vf. Crofts , pastor of the Congrega
tional church performing the weddin
ceremony. The newly marled coupl
departed on tin ? morning train for
wedding trip to the Pacific coast. The
Kroum is chief clerk to the superin
tendent of the Northwestern railway
lor this division.
Disappointed in Townsites.
Dillas. S. IX. Feb. 1C. Special ot The
News : The announcement of four gov
ernment towusltes In Trlpp county ban
created more Interest than anything
that nas happened since the land
clrawIn-4 here. Uusiness men from all
parts of the country have been wait-
for this announcement. The now
country is one of the largest and rich
est In the state and will bo nn Im
portant factor In the business and
politic * ! life of South Dakota.
Scarcely a year's growth will see
raw pralrlo land converted Into pros
perous farms and thriving towns. Busi
ness and professional men from all
parts of the country contemplate a
location in this "newest United
States. " and arc anxious to get an
early start. The new country prom
ises Ices competition , more cash bus !
ness , bettor profits and a volume of
lit-fnrs ) * that Is astonishing to a mer
chant of an older settled community.
Townsites Disappointing.
Under these circumstances the nn
noHncPir.rnt of four government town
Air * nil Inadequately placed , has
rrcated much disappointment. The
< u'sU"4 ui-ir : the central part of thee
orry : l.velve miles south of the
cr-ntr'i ci-nfir. and Is unfortunately
located In the midst of the poorest
land of the county. From six to fourteen -
teen miles In all directions from this
townslto stretches n barren waste of
sand. Another site Is placed one mile
from the Nebraska line In thu hills of
the Keya Paha river district , with
practically no farm country for sup
port. Another site In the northeast
part of the county could never hope
for any future but that of an Inland
town.
Another Tow"h Will Rise.
The towiiHlto of Jordan , eight miles
from the western lluo of the county ,
Is the most favorable of the govern
ment towns. However , this site might
have been placed much more advan
tageously , both for railroad accessi
bility and farm trade. As eight miles
ntervene between .Ionian and Meyer
ounty , another site further west Is
ecessary to care for the Meyer conn-
y opening which Is expected within
wo years , and business from that
ounty.
Hope For Railroad Extension.
Altogether It looks like a splendid
polling Is left for a line of new rail-
oad towns across the county. Few
mpiovoincnts of a permanent nature
vlll be made In any townslto until
uch a line of authorized railroad
owns aie established. . The history
f Inland towns without railroad as-
urance Is not conducive to much of
n Investment.
It Is believed that the Northwestern
oad will not long delay the extension
f their line from Dallas. The fact
„
hat the nurllngton has already made
preliminary survey for an extension
) f the road from O'Neill Into Trlpp
ounty will hasten the work of the
Northwestern extension. Many pros-
lectlve Trlpp county business men
re postponing action on location with
he hope of an early announcement of
he railroad plans. While this moans
i curbing of anxiety to bo in the now
ounty on the ground floor , yet a
ground lloor" location in n town
ocated at random without reference
o railroad or other advantages Is not
attractive.
Open New Hotel at Dallas.
Dallas , S. D. , Feb. 1C. Special to
riic News : The" new Hotel Lakota
vhich has Just boon completed , was
ormally opened last night by a blow-
nit by the Dallas Commercial club.
Da.llas Is noted for. the excellence of
Is social events and this opening was
) > far the most successful event of
ho winter. A public reception was
icld from 0:30 : to ! ) : : tO , a buffet lunch
eon was served by the genial host ,
George Gorman , and at 9:30 : the spac-
ous dining room was thrown open for
lancing , while the parlors of the second
end lloor were filled with Interested
card players. It Is estimated that 200
guests were present from Dallas and
ibout fifty from various parts of the
state. Music was furnished during
he evening by the Dallas orchestra
uid altogether proved to bo a very
H'illinnt social gathering.
Work on the Hotel Lakota was be
gun last fall shortly after the land
Irawing hero and the hotel Is by far
he best appointed In this part of the
ountry , being lighted with a private
electric light system , steam heated ,
contains rooms wall bath and Is quite
nodern In every way.
Quits Beemer Times.
West Point , Neb. , Fob. 1C. Special
o The News : M. K. Tofft , proprietor

WALKED OFF MOVING TRAIN.
Northwestern Passenger Pulls Off
Queer Stunt Near Bassett.
Alnsworth Democrat : A passenger
on the Northwestern train , No. 5 west
bound , while In a sonnambulistic state ,
walked off the platform of the swiftly
moving train at n point a short dis
tance west of Bassett , Wednesday
night about 11 o'clock. He was
missed by a traveling companion who
saw him start , as he supposed , to an
other car and n search falling to re
veal his whereabouts , the trainmen
were notified. The train was backed
a considerable distance , and the gen
tleman who had stepped into the air
was found trudging along the track
headed for Bassott. The only Injurj
apparent was a slight abrasion on the
forehead. The gentleman bad beet
traveling for four days continuously
uid was beaded for Deadwood. Ho
md no recollection of falling , and was
sound asleep until ho connected wltl
the cnith. That he was not serlousl )
Injured Is almost a miracle.
Lincoln Theme in Churches ,
Abraham Lincoln was declared bj
Rev. Edwin Booth , jr. , pastor of the
First Congregational church , to bo ai
Intensely religious man. This was tb
principal-point made by Mr. Booth U
the course of an address Sunday evenIng
Ing which took the place of the Men'
club program which was given up o
account of the weather.
Mr. Booth said that while Llncol
never belonged to any church and wa
often spoken of as a non-rollgious mai
a study of the latter period of his lif
showed him to bo a man of an Ii
tensely religious character. Lincoln'
belief In the ultimate triumph of th
right because ho believed God reigned
and his practical faith sustained him
during the years of the war and helped
to glvo him dominance over the fac
tions about him.
Lincoln's example. Mr. Booth
thought , had helped to redeem the
churches In many ways , by showing
that a man could have a practical
working religion without knowing or
caring anything about the abstract
theological problems of the day.
Lincoln , If allvo today. Mr. Booth '
declared , would find many churches hi' '
could Join For the martyred presl
dent bad said that ho would accept
membership In any church which
would receive members on the simple
acceptance of the principal of love to
God null love to one's fellows , of the
principles of the sermon on the mound
and the Lord's prayer.
The Men's club Lincoln program was
postponed.
At the Methodist Church.
A Lincoln program was also carried
out at the First Methodist church , In
addition to the usual service. Inter
esting papers on "Lincoln's Early Life
and Education , " by Miss Amy Leigh
Palno of the high school faculty , and
on "Lincoln , the Man , " by II. L. Snyder -
dor , were read. M. C. Ha/en discussed
Lincoln as a lawyer. S. L. Anderson
discussed Lincoln's religious belief In
an Interesting manner.

LOST A FORTUNE.
Old Yankton-NorfoTk Grade Cost This
Contractor $60,000.
Vormllllon. S. D. . Feb. 10. The
news from Yank-Urn that Chicago cap
italists expect jp Vnsh the construc
tion of the Yankton. Norfolk and
Southern railroad recalls the start of
I this project many years ago At that
time It was nald that the railroad was
a certainty , and the grading had been
done for many miles through Nebras
ka when the deal suddenly fell
through. Many efforts have since been
made to Interest capitalists In the
work. The one heavy loser when the
work stopped was John Noughton , who
recently died In Sioux City. Mr. Nnugh-
ton took the contract for the Yankton-
Norfolk road , and , believing that his
money would be forthcoming , did not
force his employers to pay him reg
ularly. He had accumulated a small
foitune and was well able to carry
on the work without drawing on the
company. However , there came a day
when the contractor wished he had
not been so liberal with his own
money In advancing wages. When ho
came to sum up bis own losses they
amounted to something over $00,000.
U was just like starting all over
again In life for John Naiighton , for
the small fortune which he had saved
was swept away.

sisted that the case bo heard Friday ,
but this motion was overruled and the
