The Usual Edwards Failure.

The Argus says: "The Republican
takes delight in republishing ali the jibes
printed in the foiled Matchmaking heets
about him"-Gen. Allen. The Argus is
mistaken. The Republican has a healthy
assortment of facts and '.jibes" printed
by exchanges in North Dakota concern
ing Mr.. Allen, the republication of which
would show how utterly flat has fallen
the attempt of the Argus to work up a
boom for that gentleman's candidacy.
but it has no intention of printing them
unless it is forced by the conduct of
Mr.. Allen and his friends to adopt that
course. The Argus knows just as well
as everybody else, except Gen. Allen
himself, that it has scored another fail.

A WRITER in the Omaha Bee of recent
date al gues the ~practicability and ne.
cessity of an air. line road from that city
to tap the No. l hard wheat fields of
North Dakota. He says: "The Chi.
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul has o line
from St. Paul to Fargo, which If tapped
by a line which they have in contem.
plation from Ortonville to Egan, about
125 miles, makes an air line from Fargo
to Sioux City. From Sioux City they
have a line contemplated to Omaha via
Defiance, l25 miles more, then we would
be in direct connection with the hard
wheat section."

ROOM ENOUGH FOR ALL.

LeWis' Penny Reading publishes
the following very interesting par
agraph, the idea being to endeavor
to show in some way the dimensions
of heaven. Anyone may prove the
approximate accuracy or the com
putation for himself by performing
the several operations called for.
The basis of the calculation is taken
from the sixteenth verse of the
twenty-frst chapter Of Revelation:
"And he measured the city with
a reed, 10000 furlongs. The length
and the breadth and the height of
it are equal"
Twelve thousand turlongs equal
100000 feet, which, being cubed
is 1876, 1913, O88, 600, 600, OOO. 600 cubic
feet. Reserving n half Of this
space for the throne and court Of
heaven, and half Of the remainder
for streets, we have 124, 1922 O0,-
600, 900 600 cubic feet. Divide this
by 1905, the number Of cubic feet
in a room sixteen feet square ard
there will be B ,321, 843, $50, OOO, 900
such rooms Now, suppose the
world did and and always will hold
900, 600 inhabitants, and that a
generation lasts thirty-three and a
third years, making in all $780,
100000 inhabitants every century,
and the world will stand 100, 900
years, or 1000 centuries, making in
all 1900, OOO, 100000 inhabitants.
Then suppose there were 100 worlds
equal to this in number of inhabit-
ants and duration of years, making
a total Of 1900, 600, 600, O0O,O 600 per-
sons, and there would be O than
100 rooms, sixteen feet square, for
each person.

neapOtis POstOffice Contract.
1t has been several times announced by
different papers that the stone for the post
office building has not been cut by convict
labor, but by firms which employ honest
labor at a fair price. The Stone
cutters Union has had good cause
to doubt this assertion, which has
been made with great positiveness, and has
at last discovered, it is claimed, not only
that stone cut by prison labor has and is
being used in the construction of the build
ing, but that S. 8. Kimball has violated his
contract by subletting it to E. R. Brainerd
at Joliet, ILL.,, who, during the month of
July, furnished fifteen carloads of stone
that was cut by convcts at the penitentiary
at Joliet. A committee from the Stone
cutters union called at the GLoEE office
last evening, and stated that it
had secured abundant evidence to
substantate that claim, which can
be furnished at any time. A movement to
make Kimball relinquish his contract is
likely to be made, as the contract with the
government explicitly prescribes that there
shall be no subletting.

THE RAILROAD WAR.
Manitoba and Minneapolis d Pacific
Fighting Over Dakota Crossing.
The Latter Seeks an Injunction, and
Both are Ready to Fight.

The GLOBES exclusive announcement of
the impending war between the Minneapo
lis d Pacific and the Manitoba Railway
companies created ripple of excitement in
several railroad and business circles yester-
day. The special train which left Mime
apolis on Monday night by the Northern
Pacific road, bearing the fifty odd sluggers
destined to fight for the Minneapolis &
Pacific, went to Fargo, and thence by the
Fargo Southern to Fairmont, which is near
the scene of the impending trouble. The
Manitoba has large force of men also on
the ground, collected from various points
along the line. 1t had a force OF men at
work at Green lake, in Kandiyohi
county, constructing the Willmar &
st. Cloud line, but late Thursday
night, after the men had gone to sleep, a
hasty summons came and they were car
ried off to go to Wahpeton, OAK, where a
piece Of track is hastily to be constructed.
On Sunday night Judge J. d. Springer. at
torneY for the Minneapolis 81 Pacific, gath
cred together bundle of legal documents
and hastily departed for Wahpeton. All
of this corroboratsd the GLOBES story yes
terday Of possible trouble.
The Minneapolis & Pacific road has al
ways been more or less of mystery. w.
d. Washburn and Thomas Lowry are its
central figures, but its line, further than it
paralleled the Manitoba to Breckenridge,
was never given out 1t was known to
have been inimicable to the Manitoba, and
Mr.. Hill is quoted with having said he
would scotch it at the proper moment. The
line was given great boom
in Minneapolis as being "a To-
but Its ultimate intentions and
destination were never clearly set forth.
When the present trouble with the Mani
toba arose, reporter called on Mr.. Wash
burn, but was shortly told he had no infor-
nation 70 impart, but he would not deny
the statements made Yesterday morning.
The cause OF the trouble was readily
learned, however, and is as follows: The
Minneapolis Il Pacific had large force at
work in Dakota, extending the line along
between Wahpston and Fairmont, inter-
secting the Fargo Southern at the latter
point. The Manitoba threw in large force
at the same point and proposed to cross the
Minneapolis u Pacific at point near the
same place. An ordinary crossing at grade
would probably have met with no objec-
ton, but it was proposed to cross at very
acute angle, that of 2 Q, which would keep
the track interlaced for distance Of nearly
ninety rods.
This said Minneapolis g. Pacific official,
''is not business, or necessity, but is simply
block game on tne part of the Manitoba
people, and prompt steps were taken to pre-
vent it. Judge Springer drew up papers for
an injunction and has gone to Washington to
lay them before the court, which will GER
tainly grant the restraining order''
DO you anticipate any serious trouble?''
sE,,t% foil
toba people are very bold in their railroad
moves, and will stop at nothing. We are pre-
pared for anything, however. By this time
hope the injunction has been secured"
