ATKINSON. Keh, March -Spec1aL
Considerable skepticism la being Indulged
la on the part of Atkinson people regarding
the completion of the Atkinson A Niobrara
River railway. The building of this road
has been held In agitation tor the last four
years and oa two occasions Indications bars
pointed very favorably toward Its comple
tion. Last fall A. O. Perry, the promoter
or the enterprise and euperlatendeat of con
struction, put a large force of laborers to
work on the building of the road. He stated
at that time that the road would be com
pleted and that early this spring trains
would be running over the line from Atkln
son to Butte, the terminus.
The prospects tor the opening up of lands
on the Rosebud reservation then caused the
company to diversify their original plans
and It was decided that the Atkinson A
Niobrara should be extended from Butte
Into Gregory county. South Dakota., but.
wnea a low days later the announcement
was Issued from dkhora headquarters to
the effect that the Fremont, Elk horn A Mis
souri Valley railroad would extend Its lias
from verdigre through Boyd and into Greg'
ory county, work on the construction of the
Atkinson A Niobrara was discontinued.
ateetu&s ox the stockholders of the latter
road were held at Sioux City and reports
from these sessions say that the Atkinaos
Mobrara would be built notwithstanding
me a.ianora extension late their territnrr.
' r roan wonts connect with the
oreat Northern Ebnrt Una at O'Neill and
that they would be running cars over their
complete line of road from O'Neill via At
klnaon to a point ta Gregory oouatv before
the Eikbom could complete Its line to the
-Mohrara river from Verdigre,
About two weeka ago A. O. Perrv return
from a trip to Sioux City and announced
that he had retired from the cooduu sad
waa ne longer identified with the enterprise.
He affirmed, however, that the Atklnaoe A
Niobrara would be completed, and explained
ue reason tor hla withdrawal from ths road
as one of its stockholders. He stated that
he hsd entered late the enterprkae with ths
soie purpose of giving Boyd county railroad
aooommooatlona, and the necessary prosper
ny growing out of it. and announced that
Abel Anderson, president of tbo Northwest
em Nstlonal bank of Sioux City and trus
tee xor the Atkinson e. Niobrara, was buy
ing out all ths original stockholders in or
der to strengthes. the corporation by put
ting the management In the hands of a
fewer number who represented larger cap
ital and ability to make the undertaking a
access. Severs! members of the company
sold to Mr. Anderson wltk the express
agreement and understanding that the road
would be built.
Tw weeks have passed and nothing fcaa
developed. Mr. Perry, whs with ex -State
Auditor Eugene Moore, has opened a real
aetata office here, states fiat Mr. Anderson
Is having considerable difficulty In secur
ing the remainder of the stock, but gives It
aa his opinion that the matter will be satis
factorily consummated la time; but. la the
judgment of those who have beea carefully
wetchlng the developments of this enter
prise from ths beginning, ths prospects
ere never more unfavorable for the com
pletion ot the road, and a majority of the
followers have given cp ths Idea altogether.

I caught severe cold, which settled
all over me and as I at first paid bat
little attention to it, I soon feond
that tt had a strong; srip on me
which no medicine could cast off. I
became weak and irritable. I felt
nervous and mentally and physi
cally exhausted.
,"1 relished nothing I could eat,
and medicine only exhausted me.
In my trouble 1 read in the paper of

How Prevented How Curcd-By tbe
Renowned Jfedieal .Author and
Physician. Dr. II art man.
There Is bo fact of medical science better
established thaa that a teaspoonful of Pe
runa before each meal during tbo winter
season will absolutely protect a person
from catching eald. Now if thla la true
(and there Is as doubt of It.) thousands ot
Uvea world be saved, and tens ot thoussads
of eases of chronic catarrh prevented, by
this simple precaution within the reach ef
overyoae.
AfLer a cold baa been contracted a tea
spoonful of Peruna every hour will shortly
cure it leaving no trace of it behind. After
chronic catarrh has become established, or
tbe first stages of consumption have been
reached, it will take much longer to effect
a care. It seams etrunge that as well
known aad as well established as these
facta are that anyone ahould neglect to
profit by rhem. and yet no doubt there are
many whe pay Mttls or no attention to
them, aad go ski catching cold, eoqulrlag
chronic catarrh and consumption.

and one of Manalin, and am happy te ear,
that it to tha beat medicine that I over
used. I am not so nervous, my appetite
Is good, everything I oat agrees with me.
and I am feeling better in every way. Since
I took the second bottle of Peruna, my
ears ceased to run. I think Peruna Is a
God-send to women, and a blessing Ui sui
