Omaha extension debate strengthens across Mitchell Wheeler link
Sioux Falls Press notes growing interest in extending the Omaha company line from Mitchell to Wheeler on the Missouri River. Wheeler’s rail potential, owned by Great Northern president Hill, sits near a rich agricultural area and Ft. Randall lands. Mitchell would gain a major division end, with Worthington to Wheeler routing and daily round trips possible. Lincoln memorial service set for Sunday at 3 pm at the courthouse, Sons of Veterans hosting. C B Clark and Gen A Silsby to speak.

Light From Solid Wood and Fruit by Cadogan Morgan
Cadogan Morgan, the first to experiment with electric light in solid bodies, inserted two wires into wood in 1785 and sparked a red glow. Ivory, orange, or apple can be lit similarly, with lemon proving most receptive, flashing long golden light from each spark. The wires should be within about half an inch of each other inside the object.
