Fargo Republican: Is: The Manitoba
Railroad company have again changed
the time of the train through Casselton to
Nayvllle, and thereby made numerous Far
golans little sour, SO to speak. During
the summer they ran the train SO that
close connections could be made with the
Northern Pacific morning and evening,
and parties could go to Mayville, remain
three or four hours and return to Fargo on
the same day. As it is now, it is necessary
to spend two nights in Casselton in order
to make the round trip to Mayville or
other points in that vicinity. 1t is great
inconvenience to Fargo business men, and
there are good many who have interests
that call them oyer that branch quite fire.

Mandan Pioneer, Sept. Is: On Satur
day last s1it was filed against the North
ern Pacific Railway company, by Mitchell
d McGindley, attorneys for Frank Lang,
asking for $4,000 damages. The damages
sought by MIR. Lang are for obstructing
and stopping the 1ngress and egress to his
property, and also for gravel and sand
that have been removed. The railway
company took possession of the property
on the Goth of June, 1882, and has held it
until the present time. At the last session
of the district court in this city commits
sion was appointed by the judge to value
the property and name price for the
company to pay Mr.. Lang for his proper
ty, but Mr.. Lang would not accept the de
cision of the commission, hence this suit.
A gentleman who has been largely
identified with the railroad interests of
indianapolis, ten years ago purchased
$3.50 worth of stock of the Westinghouse
Air Brake company. The first year he
held it he received a 10 per cent. dividend,
the second year 10 per cent. dividend in
cash and 80 per cent. dividend in stock
From 1875 to 1881 he received a 10 per
cent. dividend on his stock annually. In
1882 ne received 60 per cent. dividend,
| and he this week has received notice that
an 80 per cent. dividend has been declared
His dividend this year will be over $1,000
in excess of the original cost of his stock
While the Westing house company has
been constantly charging its works and
making Improvements to the brake, the
dividends have been surprising the stock
holders.

Il NEGLECTED GRAVE.

| A Brave officer in the Army and Re.
spected Officer in the Minnesota State
Government Sadly Forgotten.
There can not, we venture to say, be
found an old veteran in this state who will
not be touched to learn of the lack of honor
and we might say reverence, paid to the
remains of a brave Minnesota o2icer, and
at the time of his death, the secretary OF
state of Minnesota, as revealed in the fol-
lowing:
In letter received yesterday by Adju-
tant General Hawley, from Brownsville,
Mower county, Mimi, from Albert Swift,
commander of Post II, Grand Army de-
partment of Minnesota, in answer to Gen.
Hawley's recent notice desiring to know of
any soldiers grave in the state without a
headstone, that he might furnish the same
free of cost, comes the following:
Gin the cemetery at this place lie buried
the remains of 81. G. Rogers, colonel Of
the Eighth Minnesota infantry. His death
occurred before I came to the state, but
among his acquaintance here I have heard
him spoken of only in the highest terms of
praise, and consequently two years ago we
honored our Post by giving it his name.
On the Both of May last we held our first
memorial service, and on that occasion I
caused to be erected at the head of his
grave a pine board painted white and
containing the simple inscription, "Col.
Il. G. Rogers" That is all that has ever
been erected to his memory. have been
told by his friends here that if his ole
friends and associates in st. Paul knew
these facts, they would be willing to con
tribute something, and perhaps literally,
| to provide suitable headstone for his
grave. further understand that he was a
| very popular man, and was once secretary
of state. 1t is shame that such mans
grave should be thus neglected, but the
comrades of the post here are not able to
incur much expense in the matter. If you
we're acquainted with Col. Rogers you may
be able to advise me how to act, so that
something better than the slab provided
| by the government may be had"
1t may be added that when Col. Rogers
deceased he was supposed to have consid-
cradle property, but having no relatives
as far as was known, it was not known
what became of it. He was we'll and pop
ularly known and highly esteemed at the
| time of his decease. which was in 1865, land
evidently during his incumbency of the
office of Secretary of state. he being elect
ed for the years 1869 and 1870
as shown by the state re-
lords. He was brave and noted officer
having lost an arm in the late war and re-
ceived other wounds.
Further comment on our part is IN
necessary and we give publication to these
| facts knowing that there are those who
| will not let this thing be after their eyes
have rested on this article.
