Len Hendry, employed by the Great
Northern road at this station, boarded
freight train to ride up to the west end
of the yard to bring back the switch
lights. The train was going much tas-
ter than usual at the switch, and as he
alighted he was thrown foreward stri-
king his head on tie, INJECTING an ugly
seal wound.
About the yards of the Great North
ern road there are a number of boys who
think it great fun to jump off and on the
moving Cars, while they are being
switched. If the train men would only
stop switching cars for little some day,
and switch these boys it would serve an
excellent purpose. THERE'S an ordinance
against this sort of dangerous fun, and
it should be enforced.
The Todd Couty News is a six COL
umn quarto, the first number OF which
made its appearance last week, published
by Simmons & Hall of Long Prairie. 1t
is independent in politics. What Long
Prairie wants of three newspapers, I'M
less it is to make record, is a question
to be determined by the publishers of the
new sheet. However, the HERALD
wishes them success in their overworked
field.
w. E. Dob5s, has formed partner
ship with L. M. Bunnell in the restaur-
ant business, to Re run in connection
with Mr.. Bunncll's fruit and confection-
airy business. A good restaurant, such
as this. has long been felt to be a neces-
sity III this city-a place where good
meal at moderate cost can be obtained
at any hour. The young men are both
wide awake and enterprising, and have
sufficient pride to insure complete salts
faction. They have all the facilities for
a variety in their bill of fare.
The city council of st. Cloud appro
priated $4,000 to pay the Great North
ern road for a sugar track on the East
side, as agreed. Mayor Bruckart has
always declined to sign the warrant, be-
cause he held that the city had no right
to pay for the work in this way, and
| that there were other funds available
for the purpose. On Friday last during
the absence of the mayor, George Tiles
ton, president OF the city council, and
acting mayor, signed the warrant and
delivered it to the railroad company.
| There is well-defned rumor in rail-
road circles in st. Cloud that Mr.. E. w.
Batcht lder, late assistant superintend-
ent ofthis division of the Great Northern
with headquarters in St. Cloud, and for
the past few months assistant to Mr.. E.
B. Wakefield, general superintendent of
transportation of the road, witt. his
Offices in St. Paul, has been promoted to
be superintendent of the Montana divi-
sion with headquarters at Minot, N D.
| The division is one of the most import
ant on the line, extending from Minot to
Blackfoot, Mont, and the salary is the
largest paid on any of the divisions.

| Gov. Barto is improving. His resi-
dence at St. Cloud has not only devel-
ooed his gall, but if it has not corrupted
his veracity and if he is to be believed, it
has quickened his deep-seated regard for
the practical duties and evidences of re-
liglous connection. He opened speech
at a reception given to DR.. Dewart, the
Methodist minister at St. Cloud, with
1 this remarkable statement: Occasion
ally go to church," Now the HERALD is
| prepared to say that this astonishing
| declaration indicates a marked change
of habit as the result of a changed envir-
onment, and done probably to accentu-
ate an eccentricity in the community IN
which he temporarily resides. He always
would do things unlike his associates in
the community in which he lived. Fur
thermore he said: Il am a sort of a
cousin to the Methodist church," It
beats all how some people neglect their
relatives.
