Miss Clara Bar ton and others prominent in the worlds recent history also appear, making the Encyclopedia the latest and most up-to-date Encyclopedia published.

A NEW RAILWAY.

The improvements that have
been made during the past few
years inits track, roadbed, bridges,
trestles, tunnels, etc., have vir-
tually made a new road of the
NORTHERN PACIFIC. The rOadbed
has been widened, trestles filled
in, new and heavier steel rails laid,
grades cut down, wooden bridges
replaced by steel ones, curves TAX
en- out, tunnels lined with brick
and concrete, and improvements
made wherever possible. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars were
spent in this way during 1898 be-
sides large sums in previous years.
New and mammoth locomotives
capable of drawing the heavy
trans-continental passenger trains
at seventy-ive miles per hour
when necessary, have been bought
Progress and advancement have
been and are the order of the day.
Such road, SOLID, SMOOTH, SAFE,
it is pleasure to ritleover, espec-
tally as it runs through the finest
scenery of the Northwestern EN-
pire and touches all the greater
cities found there. Pdllman's best
cars, both Tourist and First class
Sleeping cars, and a royal Dining
Car, are part of the through
trains from St. Paul and Mime

Thomas IL q Judge Of whisky.


A correspondent OF the Two Har-
bors Journal at Robinson Lake, Thos.
Birkeland. said the following in last
weeks paper regarding the man
killed by the cars at the lake Monday
Right:
can awful accident happened up
here night before last. A man named
Gust Hagman was killed by the pas
senger train between this place and
Carlton, little on this side of Ely.
He had been up in the last named
town and imbibed of that vile prod
uct of ''home industry" that Ely sal
oOnkeepers sell for whiskey. and had
probably fallen asleep on the track.
He worked on the section, but had
been working here for me. About
three weeks ago he quit and went to
Ely and came back dead drunk and
went to sleep on the track, as luck
would have it then it was near where
we were working and he was pulled of
the rails. He was a Finlander."
