been to sell the class of
pianos and so conduct
our business that in a

confidence none could
surpass us. No piano
house can have a better
business asset than a
community of satisfied
buyers. Our business is
steadily growing be

The Milwaukee road has probably put In

its borders. The road has rushed work on

the first of next April, and 1h now in

probably be In the same state of readi

The Northwestern road, while It has
been fully aa active as the Milwaukee In
preliminary work, has not pushed g.adlng
to any such extent as has the rlvl com

the line connecting the Pierre line with the

which will give the Northwestern a line up
througU the stato ast of the Jim river

corps out eaut from Belle Fourche Into
ths country near White Owl. The officials
have filvd with th'o secretary of state a
resolution of extension from Bolle Fourche

Several forces are now In the field seek
ing the bi st outlet to and from the Chey

the line out into the White Owl country
and the line from Pierre to Rapid City.
T! Is Is in the central pelrt of the state.
New Line la Tripp.
In the south the road today filed a reso
lution of extenaion of the Pallas line across
Tripp county to the extreme western edge
of Tripp county, the location of the new
terminal beine given as the west side of
Kei'tlun 23, township 99 north, range 73
weet. This would locate the terminal prac
tically at the point where the line between
the new counties of Todd and Mellette
touch the western boundary of Tripp
county.
The Minneapolis & St. Louis road, while
doing some survey work west of the Mis
souri, along the Fox Ridge countiv, the
lust sumnitr, was lagging up to the time
the Hawley Interests secured complete con
tiol. Since that time It has shown greater
activity, and is slacking tip material for a
bridge at Le Beau, on what is alleged to be
a future coast extension of that system.
It haa also filed with the State Rullway
oommlsslon a plat of an extonulon from
ALerdeen to Pierre, along the line of the
old grade, put in years ago by Hughes
cuinty. The road has an option on this
grade until the 1st of next July, and It will
be given as a donation, in case the road
uses the line by that time.
Outsideof these roads, there has been but
little doing In the state on the part of the
older lines. Among new projects, the pro
poned electric line from Sioux City up Into
the state appears to have considerable Ufa.
The promoters are busy among the farmers
all along the prjprtsid line, and promise to
be busy with actual construction work up
through U'nioa. Clay, Yankton, Turner and
Hutchinson counties next year.
Klcctrtc Projects.
In the northeast Corner of the state the
promoters of the Voblen & Northeastern
road are working on their plans for a line
from Aberdeen to connect with, the Great
Northern In Minnesota, and claim to have
secured a loan to proceed with the work.
The people of Buffalo county, having evi
dently tired of the delay of any of the roads
to get Into that county, have organised a
company to const! uct the M.ss.iurl River
& Northern road from Platte north through
Buffalo county, but that haa never rhown
any indications of getting beyond the or
ganisation stsge as yet.
Taken altogether, the situation U favor
able for a lot of railroad building In South

a greater Increase In mileage for the state
that year than for any year alnce statehood.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 11 The fourth of
a series of great conferences that are atead
Uy strengthening the bonds between the
repub'.lcs of the western hemisphere Is to
be held In Buenos Ayres, Argentine Re
public, between July 15 and 20 next, and
already the Argentine government, which
Is to be the host in this case, ha been
doing much to prepare for the meeting.
The date originally fixed for the fourth
International conference of American
states was May 20, 1910, but the fact that
a great exposition was to be held In the
same capital In that month, which might
overshadow the Importance of the Inter
national conference, led to the postpone
ment of the latter. Moreover, the month
of July, being In the middle of the Ar
gentine winter, Is certain to make the
vltlt to Buenos Ayres more agreeable to
the delegates from the north,
The governing board of the bureau of
American republics already has dispatched
to every South and Central American cap
ital a tentative program of the subjects to
be considered by Ihe-conference and . the
various foreign offices have been at work
upon this with the purpose of submitting
objections or suggesting amendments. Much
progress has been made and it la hoped
that It soon will be possible to promulgate
the final program, which, according to
present Indications, will not vary consid
erably from that prepared by the board
of govrruurs.
Compelnory Arbitration.
The three preceding conferences have
moved along the lines of least resistance;
that Is to say, the delegates have adopted
as basic principles auch propositions as
have secured the easy adhealon of the
great majority, but no effort was made
to coerce the minority of the states Into
acceptance of rules which, at first presen
tation, were obnoxious to them. Instead,
when these were of real ' importance, they
were thoroughly debated and then re
manded for further consideration at the
nest conference. In thla way the confer
ences have been made educational, and ex
perience has thown that a sound proposi
tion is almost certain to secure adhesion.

the making of special treaties among
themselves to carry out the Idea. The
United States already has done this with
eleven of the oth?r American republics
and the subject will oome before the fourth
conference and receive further encourage
mnt at the beginning of the proceedings,
when each delegation will be required to
report what action has been taken by their
respective governments to carry out the
wish of the third conference.
Project for Steam Lines.
Another project broached at a preceding
meeting, which will be again threshed out
will be the establishment of steam naviga
tion lines connecting the principal ports of
the American countries, on the basis of
uniform system of contract.
The Bureau of American Republics Is to
be strengthened and continued for another
ten-year term of life at the least, and It
Is hoped that the commission of Interna
tional Jurists will be able to report some
thing In the nature of a code of Interna
tional law that will -be adopted for the
government of the American republics In
their diplomatic relations. If this report
Is satisfactory, the fourth conference will
embody In a treaty this bnslc code, which
ts expected to have the happiest results in
the settlement of any disturbing questions
that may arise In the future between ths
republics.
The Pan-American railway, postal rates
and parcel posts, a uniform system of col
lection of census and commercial statistics
and consular methods, supervision of food
supply, the protection of the publio health,
and the regulation of rates of Interna
tional exchange and other matUrs, left
by preceding conferences for the consider
ation of that which Is to meet at Buenos
Ayres.
New Subjects for Conference.
New and up-to-date subjects are wire
less telegraphy and aerial navigation, for
It has begun to be realised by the gov
erning board that there soon will be need
of regulations for the government of
these new modes of communication and
travel. An effort also will be made to
arrive at some sound basH of regulation
of foreign Immigration and naturalization
und to define real neutrality In time of
war.
An effort will be made to obtain the co
operation of all the Pan-American states
with the Argentine National Centennary
Commemoration of Inlependence. Most
of the centennarles full In or around
1910. The success of the Interchange of
professors and students between Amer
ican and European universities has re
sulted In the projection of a plan for a
similar exchange between the American
republics, and finally arrangements will
be made for a general participation of the
republics In the ceremonies attendant
upon opening of the Panama canal.
The prospects for a successful conference
are bright In the opinion of the offlcals
of the Bureau of American Kepublirs. One
cloud that threuteneJ was the breach of
relations between Argentina and Bolivia.
But Is la believed that even If the efforts
now making to re-establish these relations
should prove abortive yet the host, Argen
tina, on this occasion would regard Itself
as the representative of all the American
republics und, waiving all personal con
siderations, gracefully extend to Bolivia
the Invitation which would aecure the at
tendance of Its delegates at the conference.

"I have a nlckle, but I paid my fare and

like many other passengers, was nearly

Headquarters and the Second and Third

at San Francisco rom the Philippines.
The Third battalion of the Nineteenth
Infantry now stationed at Fort Mackansle
will depart for Ban Francisco immediately
on the arrival of the Eighteenth, and will
sail for the Philippines on December 6.
A coincidence will be noticed In the as

Fort Mackenzie, in that the section of the
territory where Fort Sheridan is located,
was" the scene of the campaigns of the
Eighteenth Infantry against the Sioux
Indians in the Indian wars of 18G&-9. Only
two miles from Sheridan a battalion of the
Eighteenth Infantry was massacred by Red

FRESH YOUNG CONDUCTOR
PROVOKES PEOPLE TO WRATH
Holds One Passrnsjrr I'p to Humilia
tion of All Others In Far
nam tar.
There Is a certain tall, pale-faced young
conductor on the Farnam street car line
ho Is not Increasing his own or his com
pany's popularity with the people unfor
tunate enough as to have to ride on his
car. At times he becomes Impudent to
passenger and always has more to say
tlian the company requires of its employes.
The other evening a genteel appearing
young man on the rear end of a crowded
car asked this conductor for a transfer at
Fortieth and Farnam streets.
"Pay me your fare first before you ast
fur any transfers," was the reply.
"Why, I paid my fare long ago," said
the young man with evident astonishment.
"Naw, you didn't pay your fare, see?
You can't fool me and you don't git no
transfer."
The car one of those little cramped
affalra that run out Farnam way was
literally Jammed Inside and out, and was
entirely lmposjlble for any conductor to
be as certain as this fellow was that any
particular passenger had paid. But thit
young man dltn't look like one who ,vould
haggle over a nickel, not near as much
so as did the conductor, so he persisted
that he had paid his fare and ftislsted on
having a transfer when the car reached
Fortieth and Farnam, where he would have
to change. 1
By this time the car was thinning out
so that all those left could focus their
eyes on ths young man every time the
Impudent conductor "bawled" him out and
this he continued to do, despite the fact
that the passenger had apparently given it
up.
"Don't lie to me, guy," was one of the
Insults the conductor flung at the young
man
After he had walked the length of the
car mouthing so that all could hear him
he blurted out:
"It you ain't got no nlckle, I'll give you
