Madison Post : That the farmers who are now agitating the construc tion of a railroad through the center of the county were not very well pleased with the attitude of Madison business men when the subject was first broached and are not yet satis- lied with our Intel est In the matter , Is well evidenced by the expression of two or three of them given to a Post reporter. "When we Ilrst put the mat ter to one or two of your business men they were Inclined to make sport of us , " said one of these gentlemen yesterday , "and so we said no more , but put It up to Norfolk and they act ed promptly. As a result wo are now for the Norfolk-Newman Grove route. Of course what we want is a railroad and we don't care much where it comes from just so we get It. You people don't fully realize what this means to us farmers but It Is sufll- dent for mo to say that It is really a serious problem and wo must have transportation facilities. We farmers have got a little surplus money and are not all dead ones , either , when it comes to doing a little hustling and you fellows can just make up your minds to one thing and that Is that there is going to he a railroad through that section of the country within the next two or three years.

South Dakota Has Money and Dor mant Industries ; Wants a Morgan Pierre , S. D. , Juno G. South Dako ta needs a Plerpont Morgan and needs him badly. There is almost ninety million dollars lying in our banks and investors are everywhere looking for profitable employment for the funds. There are , too , very many enterprises which would bo of great value to the public and for the development of the state and for which wo have capital in abundance if it was assembled by some reputable captain of industry. Comprehensive business organization at homo only is needed to secure many advantages to the state which hitherto it has been impossible to get outside capital to undertake. The South Dakota Central Railroad company has demonstrated that local capital can build a railroad and make It pay. There are a lot of similar op portunities here. For instance , the city of Pierre owns the right-of-way and more than 100 miles of grade through a rich region from Pierre to Aberdeen. A million dollars would do the other twenty-four miles of grade to complete the line , and Iron , and equip it with engines and rolling stock. It woud make a fine and pro fitable property and there is slathers of money here to do the trick if the right men would take it up. Here Is whore our Morgan would shine. The watfr powpfs on the Missouri , too , afford opportunities for safe and permanent investment. Navigation briqueting enterprises are waiting for the financial backing. These proposi tions offer the greatest inducements , for the demand for coal Is unlimited and the success of the enterprise Is assured the moment it is given the same kind of organization that ban dies the eastern coal supply. There is not one clement of risk here that is not incident to any business of sim ilar character In Europe or America. South Dakota has the ready resources to back an organization that would in stantly relieve our people of the ex tortion of the eastern coal barons , save enough hard cash every year to finance the business and give the pub lic first class fuel at one-half the pres ent cost. Trolley lines are In demand all over the state ; they will enhance develop ment and return sure dividends. Money sufliciont for them and for the other enterprises mentioned is in the banks of the state awaiting the call of the right man who can assemble It and put It to earning profits. A good business head , with comprehensive grasp of affairs and ability to do the practical things is the greatest need of the state today. Organization and an organizer are wanted. YOUNG MAY RUN.

" The Corbett Disposition Pervades the Camp at Ben Lomond. Ben Lomond , Cal. , June G. No long er are they calling Jim Jeffries a bear.

Corbett , hail-fellow-well- met , whose unruffled good nature makes him a boon to Bon Lomond , has warmed Jeffries with his naturally cheery disposition and as long as "Gentleman Jim" lingers here he is expected to continue to exert his sun ny influence on the big fellow. Just before beginning his afternoon work yesterday Jeffries measured him self about the waist and found that he scaled the tape at a fraction more than thirty-five Inches. "There has been so much talk abotu my stomach , " ho explained , "that I wanted to see for myself about it. I guess if I am to take off any more stomach It will have to como from the Inside. I don't want my muscles too hard and for the rest of the time hero I'm going to work to keep thorn soft. " Jeffries seems to feel he has stood the test of bis conditioning work and that he will bo in excellent shape to meet Johnson. ' The reason Jeffries is letting up on his boxing Is that his thumb , which he strained In a bout with Joe Choynski several days ago , continues bore and bothers him. It is much Improved today , however , and sparring with Jim Corbett Is antici pated. Business Changes. C. F. May has opened a restaurant at Gregory. The Torpin Grain company have purchased the L.

Emitting earsplltting walls the cat raced up stairs and into the dining room. Miss Rose Leland had brought her Boston terrier , Gus , to the restaurant. He was tied to her chair. When the terrier saw the cat and the lobster ho got busy. So did the lobster. The dog made for the cat. The lobster grabbed him by the hind leg. Howling , the dog made a jump and pulled the chair from under Miss Leland. She screamed as she fell , then she fainted. William Mollin , the head waiter , ran up when ho heard the scream. Cat , dog and lobster got tangled up witli Mollln's feet and throw him. Then the dog got to snapping and the cat to scratching while the lobster just liung on. The restaurant was in an uproar. Manager Louis Bernard got a club , and when he found a chance to use it he persuaded the lobster to let go. A physician revived Miss Leland and the cat went upstairs. Northwest Weddir.gs.
