LOOKING OVER ARoosTooK.
Grand Trunk Officials to Visit the
Garden OF M aine.

We have 1t from reliable and trustworthy
sources that party Of prominent gentlemen
to be made up OF ofncials Of the Grand
Trunk and Temiseouata railroads, will visit
Northern Aroostook In about 10 days for the
avowed purpose Of considering the advIss-
bility Of building railroad into and
through Aroostook.
The Republican has. In former issues, at
tempted to show the advantages that would
accrue to the Grand Trunk railway by
building line through AroostOOk and eth
er connecting with their road at Lewiston or
ronning to an open seaport. The building
OF such road would give the Grand Trunk
much shorter line than their formidable
rivals, the Canadian Pacific, over which to
convey Aroostook's products, and would
make them successful competitors for this
county's already enormous freight business
1t would appear as II these gentlemen, after
careful examination Of the developed and
undevelOped resources Of ArOOstolk, must
see that line OF road. such as we have sug-
gested, Will be money maker from the
start. They may be astonished to ascertain
that during the month OF October 40 full
cars OF freight were sent out from the three
stations OF North ArOOstoOk and this num-
Der did not include the parts of cars OF
conclude TO build the read, the people Of
AroC>took will not only aid them Ia every
way possible but will make a strong aud
united effort to prevent New Brunswick
from deriving the benefit Of the manufac-
ture OF lumber, and repeal Of the present
law would have the effect OF causing ArOos-
took lumber to be manufactured IN Aroos-
took, which would give a railroad over 22
car loads OF lumber tn carry every day In the
year. This In Nitself would be ne small
freight item for road.
Aroost0ok should give these railroad men
arOyal welcome within her borders for she
has everything to gain by the building OF a
road which may be- the result Of their visit
A competing line of road Is what Aroos-
took will have II the Grand Trunk builds
the road. It Will save our county over $780,
600 annually on freight rates on its present
business, and will effpcta saving In express
rates by giving the American Express Com
pany an opportunity TO again do business in
Northern AroostO0k.
1t Is very possible that the Maine Central
may yet lose the hauling Of AroOstouk's
freight, and II this should prove to be the
case IL Will serve this company right for hav-
Ing allowed a foreign corporation to prevent
them from assisting TO build "A needed direct
line OF road over the very richest soil In
New England, and that portion Of the state,
too, which Is the richest In natural resources

Lieutenant Hale, of Fort Bennett, arrived
here today and reports the Indians carrying
on a ghost dance. They threaten to resist
interruption. Indian police. sent to insist
upon their attendance, were disarmed and
obliged 10 return to the fort. An extra com

Sullivan to Fort Bennett aud preparations
made in case of trouble. There are fears
that an open outbreak may occur at any
time, though, as the Indians have been ac-
customed to government control so long it is
considered rather doubtful if they will at
tempt any violence at this time.

a local sensation was developed
in Boston Monday mo,ning by the
announcement that a frog ha9 been
removed from Mrs. Abbie Taylor's
stomach. The women, when seen
by reporter, said that DIR. Matthew
Travers had removed The frog from
her stomach to-day. She had been
treated by number of physicians
for tumor, which she was supposed
to have on her stomach. Mrs. Tay.
lor, for the past eight years, has had
a ravenous appetite, and at times
has been very sick. She has been
on the point of submitting to an
operation several times, and at last
consented. She said she must have
drank the frog in the water over
eight years ago. The frog is exhib-
tied at the woman's house, and
many callers have been received to-
day. The frog had the appearance
OF dried-up toad, and was partially
decayed.
