GREAT NORTHERN EXPRESS.

The American Express Company to be
succeeded by y Hill Company.
1t is more than probable that by the time
ths Great Northern extension ia completed
the American Express company, now doing
business over that line, will be- succeeded
by an express com of which James j.
Hill will be the president. When it was
decided to extend the Great Northern to the
coast, tbs general belief existed that with
the completion of the new overland route
the American Express would
have the advantage of q ]ontinuous line
from ocean to ocean. Recent events, how
ever, go to show that tho express company's
antlclpatlons ars mot only to be frustrated
as far az a Unconstitutional service ia con-
cernad, but that it will also be driven from
the field in North Dakota and Montana and
Il part of Minnesota, a territory that has
yielded a splendid revenue and in portions
OF which 1T has practically had a
monopoly of the express business. Fol-
lowing the example of the Northern
Pacific railroad, the Great Northern has
dasided to handle it's own EXPRESS business
and mako it a part of the regular freight
traffic department of the road, and thereby
secure all of the receipts from that branch
instead OF only that portion accruing from
leasing the express privilege to a foreign
corporation. AS soon rs the road shall have
been completed to the coast, and probably
sooner, the Great Northern Express COM
pany will Eucceed the American, and the
latter which only a few years ago ran Wells,
Fargo " Co. out of Montana will in turn
have to 60 itself. AS far as the public is
concerned the change will scarcely be
noticed, for it ia understood that the new
company will retain all the agents, mes
senRers. route agents and other EMPLOYEES
OF the ola when the transfer will be made,
without a hitch or break in business. The
Great Northern Exprsss company is al
ready IN exiatencs. as the railroad COMPANY
is now handling it's own express on the lines
operated by the company in the Puget
sound regiOns.

THE GROTON OIL CASE.

With the Affair.

Henry Hannah Tolls of His Connection
With the Affair.
The other day .THR INDKPENnENT pub
lished q statement from CIV Mounts, CON
corning the poisoning BY oroton oil that
occurred In his hotel in December. Henry

with the affair. writes ~ follows 70 IHH

correct an one impression which may
have been left on the minds OF your readers
by an interview with MIR. Cy Mounta, pub
lished in THE INDEPENDENT of the 18th. In
tho first place, MIR. Mounts failed to state
to you what he had stated to mysolf and
friends, that on reflection, he didn't blame
me, as had not been to his rooms n
consequently could not have taken the
croton oil from there. He also failed to
state that / had made application several
times at the court for 4 hearing n was re-
fuaed. will now state a few facts, which
will place this matter before your readers
in it's proper light.
Miss Mounts was not sick on the night Of
tho Esd OF December, when il WAS said the
croton oil was taken. Miss Mounts did the
chamber work of the hotel on the 24th OF
December. Croton oil ia g poison which
acts almost immediately. How. then. does
IT happen thas MISS NOUNS was adds W
work the next day if she had taken croton
oil in the beer? One of the physicians who
were in attendance stated to me that her
sickness was not caused by oroton oil. In
writing to you / am simply seeking Justice.
as there has been an effort made to preju-
dice the people against me"
It may be stated that in his interview
with THE INDEPENDENT reporter Mr.. Mounts
did say that his daughter did not complain
very greatly the day following the n on
which she is supposed to have taken the oil,
but was up and around the house. In writ
ing out the statement this remark OF MIR.
Mounts was inadvertently omitted.

SAVES ONE BUSINESS DAY.
From New York to Chicago Eighteen \
80. One-Half Hours.

From New York to Chicago Eighteen and
z.5 One-Half Hours.
Eighteen hours and thirty minutes in
which to run q train from New York to
Chicago!
That il just exactly what Fl. Walter Webb,
third vice president Of the New York Con-
trail & Hudson River railroad proposes to
do if the governments will back him up. Mr..
Webb said: Eve can start \ train from
New York containing mail matter at $3.50
cago in time for delivery at 10 O'Clock the
next morning, either in connection with the
Lake Shore or the Michigan Central" This
means $50 miles in l lilo minutes. In order
to make such = run from New York to Chi
cago the fast-fying mail train will be
obliged to run long stretches at a rate of
from seventy to seventy-hve miles an hour.
This is faster than any regular train in the
world has evsf Boon run. The bursts OF
high speed will bs nscessitate6 by the
time lost in running slowly through cities
and large towns OF stopping at crossings
over other roads at grade. Such q train
must come in the near future. Public
service demands it, for it would save an en-
tire day in transacting business between
New York and Chicago. To be able to
be able to write advices after the close of
banking hours and have those same advices
delivered In Chicago ut the opening OF
banking hours the next morning may
seem to the ordinary business man an utter
im~possibility. Yet 5he New York Central
railroad managers come squarely to the
front and say they can and will accomplish
this at this shortest notice, and the Penn
s~ylvania road is in the field for equal hon.
ors, As has been shown, ce-President
Webb, Of the New York Central Il Hudson
River railroad is willing on behalf
of his company to accomplish the wiping
out Of distance between the closing of one
business day and the opening of the next.
With the Columbian exposition SO near at
hand this will mean untold benefits to bus
mess men and in the everyday communi-
cations necessary to home life. The extra
expense to the department would be but
nominal compared with the benefits de-
rived. 1t would be necessary, from a COM
mereial standpoint, to run trains both ways
only i've days in tho week, beginning Mon
day and ending Friday, Saturday mails TAX
ing the regular course, which would insure
their delivery Monday.

How the Road Was Run.

"One time.' says a train dispatcher, tell
ing his experience on a southern road to a
reporter of the Nebraska State Journal, 81
started train out and we lost it completely
never heard of it for two days. Fact!
You see it got to a little watering station
and the tank was out of fix. They waited
for it to be fixed. There was u beer car or
the train-sort of Q travelling saloon, and
the man that run it sold his ice to some
folks that wanted it pretty bad. Then they
bad to drink tho beer to keep it. Well. sir,
the whole town and all the crew got drunk
and STAYED That way until the beer gave out.
We would ask all the trains that came in if
they had seen anything of the missing
train, but they all vowed they hadn't. We
sent out an engine to run it down, and it
never reported. The crew got drunk, too.
In about two days they wired US for orders,
and we sent out an engine to pull them in,
for both engines had died on the siding.
That's just the way the road was run.
No man cared if he was fred, for there
wasn't money enough to pay him off, SO or
ders didn't count. l couldn't stand the
strain and Quit"

The engagement of the charming young

ises to be one of the events of

taken great strides in her art during
the past year, as will be seen by her roper
toire, which includes 9TH HONEYMOON
and "Pygmalion and Galatea,'' standard
plays ia which many of our prominent
actresses have appeared. Miss Gage has
surrounded herself with a company of nm
usual strength, under the direction of Kent
Thomas. AS we have had nothing of the

A Four-Yenr-Old Boy May Die From the
Effects of a Pistol Shot.
A visitor from Fergus county brings the
news that the four-year-oId boy of John w.
Beck, living at Lewistown, was shot through
the head by his brother the other day. The
boys, one aged four and the other six, were
playing in u barn, and the elder found a
revolver in an old desk. The weapon only
contained one charge, but when -the boy
pulled the trigger and pointed it at his lit
tie brother that one cartridge exploded,
passing through the boys head. 1t entered
ut the right side of the forehead and came
out behind the left ear. There is but little
hope for his recovery.

A Mad Dog Killed.

Since last Fgdhy, Charley shemp
noticed his bird dog had been acting
strangely. H%would not eat and
"w ouldn't do what ne was told -
He was nervous, restless and illtem-
pered. The owner shut him up in
chicken pen in the back yard.
He would walk back and forth by
the palings like Gagged hyena; at
times start with rush and circle
around in the enclosure. On Mon
day morning he fell in fit, became
rigid and was thought to be dead;
presently he reused. His tongue
protuded, mouth frothing, eyes
glaring, swapping and trying to
break through the palings. Schemp
got his double barreled shot gun
and empted both barrels in the dogs
head, instantly killing him. 1t is
not known whether or not he was
bitten by mad dog, or the disease
developed of itself. At any rate it
was clear case of mad dog. Our
town should take warning and nuz-
zle all the dogs. Our streets are
infested with packs of snarling,
swapping, fighting, worthless ours
that ought to be killed. They are
of no account, at best an annoying
nuisance. The owners of valuable
dogs should keep them off the streets
and when let out at large, muzzle
them. 1t will be no loss to kill the
worthless ours. 1t can be no harm
to muzzle the vafuable,dogs.

The bank is anxious to resume, but the
consent OF all the creditors to release the as
signment, has not yet been secured, and it is
to complete this that the meeting is to be
held.
II the consent is not given, the affairs of the

sienme ent, involving contest between the
friends and enemies of the BANK as to the
selection of trustee TO wind up the affairs. 1t
will be misfortune 10 the community as
well as to individual parties interested, il the
bank is not permitted to resume after offer
ing such honorable terms of payment in full
to its creditors in such very short time, more
rapid payment would involve great nard-

The meeting Saturday will be very inter-
esting to everybody, whether IL creditor or
not. 1t is hoped there will be large attend
ance of our best citizens from all parts of the
