There was also an ordinance passed
to regulate the criminal procedure Of
the town of Frostburg.
Mayor and Clerk were ordered, as
usual, to borrow enough money to
meet deficiency.
Water superintendent Jeffries said
that he had taken the meter statements
Of water used by the Gladstone hotel
and the Electric Light company and
found that if the hotel had been pay
ing S cents per 1000 gallons, it would
have cost $40 95 for the month Of
December, 1899 Hotel only paid,
however, total of $5.ll The Elec-
trio Light plant used at same rate of
cost water during the quarter ending
Dec. 81 to amount of $3.50. For this
only $l5 was paid. During January
the comp any consumed l67 ,925 gollons,
or $l3.43 worth. For this the COM
pany is charged only 50.
Mayor suggested that they be al

1t is stated that the ordinance regu.
lating criminal procedure will not
stand any longer than it will take the
April term of the Circuit Court to
floor it.
That was a very impressive argu-
ment in favor of selling water by
measure used by the water superin-
tendent. Whether he so designed it or
not makes no difference, but it is plain
as can be that while, under the cur
rent system of no-system," some who
are able to pay, are getting over twice
as much as they pay for, the average
family is paying for over twice the
amount it uses.
The JOURNAL hears that an inter
esting time will be had next meeting
over the question-"who owns the
lookup? -

sides and is inclined to think the
Bailff holds the "business" view of
the matter. The lookup belongs to
the town, he is its custodian, and I'M
less allowed to remain in position to

established which may eventually re-
suit in loss to the town, as well as

Have You Seen Smith, one of the
seasons chief -force-comedy successes,
will make its debut in this city shortly.
The play is billed as .the force-com-
edy surprise, and that it is a genuine
novelty is the universal opinion of all
who have witnessed it. In construct
ing the work, the author is said to have
departed entirely from the well-worn
methods so long employed in the build
ing of similar pieces, and the result is
a production that unfailingly tickles
the palates of all classes Of theatre
goers. White whiskered gags, old
fashioned devices like trick stairs and
siphon bottles, and all the rough and
tumble concomitants of the average
farce comedy have been rigidly ex-
cluded; and in their place is found
fresh, spontaneous humor, legitimate
comedy situations, and a myriad of
novel musical features

N. p. PLANS.
Reported Prospect Of New Line from
Fargo to Dickey, and Branches.

a Fargo report says: Recent
changes which have been made in the
plans of the Northern Pacific extern
sion building in North Dakota would.
indicate that Fargo is 90 secure another
important addition to its railroad sys-
tenn. For several weeks work has been
progressing on the extension which the
company is to build from Casselton,
through Glass;, Barnes and LaMoure
counties to Dickey. Work has been
progressing on the extension just west
of Casselton for the time being and it
is stated on good authority that an i'm
pOrtant change is liable to be an
nounced at any time. The story now
current is to the effect that the North
ern Pacific is negotiating with the
Great Northern for the purchase Of the
two stub lines running east and west
Pacific secure these short lines a road
will be run from the main line at Hor-
ice to the eastern terminal of the stub
line and from Chaffee west to the pro-
posed new line near Peterson, thus
giving the Northern Pacific a line from
Fargo to Dickey by way Of Horace,
Chafee and the towns along the line
as now surveyed. This would be an
important addition to the railroad con
tnections of Fargo, and would give the
company al almost direct line through
one of the most fertile sections of the
state.
It is also stated on excellent author
ity that the Northern Pacific will build
a line from Sheyenne, in Eddy county,
southeast through the county Of Nc
Henry, thus connecting the Southern
line with the Jamestown & Northern.
The last named extension would be
about a miles long and would prove
a paying line for the company's sys-
tenn Of railroads in the state. A party
OF ten surveyors left Fargo for Shey-
enne and the work of surveying the
proposed extension is now in progress.
