the Northern Pacific railway wants in
Fargo all it has got TO do is to ask for
it. Formerly IL was said that "All

to read, "All trains must go TO Fargo"
When the new coast train was put
IN by the Northern Pacific ii did not
give Fargo any more trains. and only
afforded people west OF jamestown a
better opportunity TO reach the city.
But TO Offset this, the schedules We're
SO arranged that the people west of
Fargo. in the nearer towns. had TO
arise at unholy hours or come to the
city and remain ali night TO do their
trading next day. The matter was
presented to the Northern Pacific Off
Gals in the proper manner. and they
have remedied the fault most effectu-
ally.
Beginning April ,. a new passenger
train will he run from Fargo to Coop
erstown. via Sanborn. thence. over the
main line TO Fargo. It will leave Coop
erstown at 6 o'clock in the morning,
arriving at Fargo at 10 a. IN. and re-
turning at 4:30 p. IN. This is the best
service imaginable.fo Fargo business
men. The train will be local. and will
stop at all the main line stations be-
tween Fargo and Sanborn. and, in aG-
dition TO that. it gives Fargo new ter
ritory up the Cuoperstown branch.
opening up new trade that will be
worth thousands of dollars annually.
This new train, taken in connection
with the extension of the Coopersown
branch. mean n whole lot to this city.
In addition TO this. the Northern Pa
cific has made another change in the
new passenger train, known as Nos. Z
and s, which run from st. Paul to
Winnipeg Junction. In future, that
train will run TO Fargo, and the train
crews will lay over here, and consider
able local business between the juno
ton and Fargo will be brought here.
East-bound. the train will leave here
at 9:45 in the evening.
These new arrangements give Fargo
four passenger trains daily TO the
Twin Cities, and. of course, the same
number from there. West of Fargo,
there are three passenger trains each
way. daily. and then the passenger on
The Southwestern to Lisbon, LaMoure
and Edgeley. Eight Northern Pacific
passenger trains bringing people to
Fargo every day would seem TO indi-
cate an intention on the part of the
road TO help the city along in every
way possible. Much of the credit for
h new train service is due to Supt.
Wilson, of the Dakota division.

Washington, April 11.-.Justice Steph-

About his bedside were his wife and

since Justice Fields retirement from

good health, and being relieved from
the responsibilities which he had
borne for so many years he became
more cheerful than formerly. and
seemed to enjoy the society of his
friends and acquaintance more than
ever before. All during the winter.
when the weather was fair, ii was his
custom to take daily drives about the
city or through the grounds of tho sol

lost consciousness. From hat time he
sank rapidly and expired at $50
o'clock. No arrangements have yet
been made for the funeral, nor is 1t
now known where he will be buried. 1t

was still intact.
