THE MANITOBA LINE
It Will Track Helena
and Butte
and GO WEST VIA MISS0ULA,
Crossing the Rockies at the Head
quarters of the Dearborn and
Blackfoot Rivers.

Sr. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 10.-After a
discussion of the routes likely to be
taken by Pacific coast extension of the
Manitoba road through the Rockies, it
would seem from the utterance of a
prominent railroad man here to-day
that the following will probably be
adopted, If in fact it has not already been
decided upon, as rumorcd here.
This route leaves the Montana Central
at point near Conteryillo, runs up
Dearborn canyon to the headwaters of
the Dearborn, crosses the divide to the
hcadwaters of the Blackioot, down which
it runs to Missoula. The divide ut this
point can be crossed with little diff
Guilty. 1t is u high grade crossing, but
no more so than that on which the Mon
tanu Central crosses to Butte, or than
those of the Northern Pacific over both
the Rocky and tho Bitter Root noun
tains,
Willie this would place Helena and
Butte upon side track, 1t would not
materially affect the roads business
from those points. Its prospects for
Butte business arc now much poorer
than they were year ago.
The Northern Pacific, Butte q Gal
latin branch will be finished before
Christmas, and will be by many miles
n shorter line from st. Paul.
j. b. Uaggin, for whom Marcus Daily
is manager is now director OF the
Northern Pacific, and ii is unlikely he
will permit much OF his business, which
is larger than all others In Butte com
bined, to go via the Manitoba.
IL seems probable, then, that the new
coast line will start up Dearbon canon.

Mans Wife.
NEW YonK, Nov. 20.-The mystery
surrounding the case of Martin Finn,
who died in the hospital few days ago
from wounds received a couple of weeks
before, when he was assaulted by man
with an umbrella, the ferrulc of which
was jabbed into his eye, is believed to
have been cleared up. Major Joseph
Stewart, a Southern gentleman whose
efforts in behalf Of the confederate
soldiers home ut Austin, Tex, last
winter gave him wide popularity, thinks
known to him.
One evening, October 2S, he was walk
ing down broadway with his wife, and
when near the corner of Thirty seventh
street man grasped Mrs. Stewards arm
and made some remark. Major Stewart
says he raised his umbrella and broke it
over tho mans head and shoulders. He
waited i've minutes for policeman but
none appeared, and his wife being
greatly agitated they went back home.
Major Stewart was not aware he had jab-
bed the man in the face with his UNI
brclla, but after considering the case of
Finn he said the facts appeared to point
out that he was the man.

SPOKANE COLLEGE.

Sunday evening the services at the
Methodist tabernacle were devoted
to the interest of Spokane college.
After sermon by DIR. w. II. Fl.
Adams subscription paper was cir
culated to raise an endowment fund
for the college. Within IA short time
$50, 900 was raised by the congrega-
tion. This amount Is to be increased
to 500, 600 and invested to create an
annual income for the college. Dr.
Adams thinks this IL the largest en-.
dowment fund ever raised In one
day by IL church congregation. 1t
shows the characteristic enterprise
and liberafty of the citizens Of Spo-
kane Falls. 1t Is now proposed to
turn the college into II university
equal in size and Importance to the
first-class universities of the East.
Spokane college has been established
for nearly five years, and is regarded
as one Of the best educational insti-
tutions in the Northwest. While
1t Is under the direction Of
the Methodist Episcopal church
II is conducted on non
sectarian principles. This institu-
ton Of learning is destined to be-
come one of the most important
features of this city. 1t will not
only furnish opportunities for adj
vanced learning for the young men
and women of this city but will
give tho youth of this whole North
west country an opportunity to OBJ
tain a university education. The
time will come when doctors,
lawyers, ministers and artisans will
look back to the familiar scenes of
the old campus bordering on the
picturesque Spokane and the old
halls, which, If they could speak,
would tell how the mind Is enkin-
died with useful thoughts for life's
work.
The endowment fund just raised
will be a perpetual blessing to sue
ceeding generations. Its benefits
will go on and on like the rushing
Spokane to the open sea of eternity.

the REVIEW that even New York Is
not entirely free of the parasitic

much could and should be done in
the general direction of clearing

They are clog upon the wheels of
