1t was amusing at the station, Sat
urday forenoon, as the 10 o'clock train
pulled in. Two little boys about u or
IA years of age, who had evidently
never seen the cars before, or, at least,
only at a distance, were standing there.
They were totally ignorant of the fact
that others were standing about
watching them, so eagerly were they
looking the train over and commenting
upon it in their wonder. Every partic-
ular was commented upon. That's
the smoking car" said one as he read
the sign. CORY, it don't look any
different from the rest does it?'
Brakeman" quoth the other as he
looked at the silver plate upon Brake
man Hams cap. Say, I'd like to DE
one of them Don't they look fine
Those standing near them were as
much amused to see the unfeigned in
terest the boys took in the new sights
as they would have been at a minstrel
show. 1t reminded a bystander of the
scenes that are taking place every day
down in Washington county in the
territory through which the new rail-
road is running.

Lieut.. Jeffrey gave two performances
at Meonian hall. Saturday. At the
matinee one incident occurred that was
something very novel in the hypnotic
field. One of the boys of this city was
told that he had the nose bleed. At
once a stream of blood spurted out of
the nose. AT the suggestion of Lieut..
Jeffrey that the nose was not bleeding
two cases of this kind are known in the
history of hypnosis. The evening per-
Torrance was one of the best of the
week. Lieut.. Jeffrey went to Water

all the unusual scenes. The car hap
pened to make a brief halt in such a

pears that he knows nothing Of his wan

does not know when he left New York

Not Ground Enough to Order "A Com
ncctIOn at Sank Center.
The railroad and warehouse commission
yesterday handed down decision In the
matter Of the petition from Sank Center.
asking for connections between the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
ern at that point. The application is
dismissed.
In it's decision the commission states
that the case came under its Jurisdiction
Aug. and has been held open until
now, for the reason that requests were
made that time be allowed in which to
introduce additional testimony. H e.
Brooks, a Sank Center miller, is shown
to be the only shipper who would receive
great benefit from the Introduction of the
connections demanded, and in his case
the benefit would consist only in saving
him charges in loading and unloading
his cars, amounting practically to dray-
age. The commission holds that the
principle applied to the Crookston Y pc
tition holds in the Sank Center applica-
ton; that under the statute the commits
sion has no power to order connections
where no greater benefit than a saving in
drayage charges will result.

FREIGHT CARS BUSY.
Railroads Getting More Service Out
of Them This Year.

every Western road is getting from Is
to % per cent more service out of it's cars
this year than last" said a traffic official
yesterday. THE train hauls are being
steadily increased by improvements in
tracks and by the Introduction Of more
powerful engines. Merchandise traffic in
particular keeps up beyond expectations
aud every available car is in use. For
tunately for 4 majority of the lines. the
continued decrease IN grain traffic for
several weeks past has Increased the sup
ply of cars available for the movement of
traffic both East and West. The loss in
grain traffic is more than made up by
the increase in merchandise business.
The shortage Of cars is a thing of the
past, except in a few isolated cases, and
many of the roads are receiving orders
placed with the builders some months
ago. The majority OF the roads, however,
will not secure the delivery of their
orders for some weeks, probably not be-
fore the first OF February"
