Last Saturday was the last day of
school in the Pard Rich school, just
north of town, in district number
seven, Ha1nlin township, and that
afternoon their teacher, Miss Elite
Burr, whose home is up in Greeley
township. provideda royal treat for
her pupils and the afternoon was
given over to feasting and having a
good time. When the evening shad-
ows began to lengthen there were
many sad hearts at the parting for
the patrons, children and director

with them, for she is an excellent
teacher, but having accepted a
school near home she was forced 10

John Harrison is home from his
goods-buying trip and expects to
have his wares ready foriinspection
by next Tuesday, November Goth.
johns long experience in the whole-
sale house of w. a. Maurer, at Coun-
Gil Bluffs, enabled him to select lust
suck a stock as will please your eye,

unhesitatingly pronounce it the
finest line OF porcelain, chinaware

Now that one rural free delivery
route has been established in this

public that Uncle Sam holds all
matters entrusted to his care very,
sacred, and that any person found
guilty OF even meddling with mail
placed in one of the road boxes will
be severely dealt with. 1t is impos-
sible to have these boXesunder lock
as the carrier cannot take the time to
lock and unlock them, but they are
considered under the care of the
postotfice department and all dep
relations are rightly prosecuted.
Parents along the route should
warn their children to avoid lifting
the covers or looking. into any box
except their own. 1t must be re-
membered that it is none of your

neighbours box, and that you are
not even to open it out of curiosity

NORFOLK AND WESTERN DIVIDEND,

Increased buying of Norfolk and western com
mon stock in the last few days has been due In
part to the expectation by people that at the
coming meeting of the directors the subject OF
dividend on the common stock will be taken up
The regular semi annual dividend of per cent on
the preferred will be paid as usual in February
The company's earnings viii show. at the current
rate between and per cent on the common FOR
the year and in some quarters it is thought that
small distribution will be made to the shareholders
In February. The chances are. however, that
dividend will not be paid until later on In the cal
endar year. AS prospective dividend payer the
common stock appears to be on the bargain level
The character of buying in the stock yesterday
suggests that there may be some development in
connection with the trunk line situation that will
increase the intrinsic worth OF Norfolk and West
ern's securities.

EARNINGS NOT DECLINING.

Railroad earnings not declining despite the
pessimistc assertions and predictions of bear ora
cles. ST. Paul's earnings for the second week in
January were better than in any corresponding
week in the history of the company. and they
were especially significant when compared with
the record breaking period year ago. Total gross
earnings in the second week in January in 1899
were 1884 929 increase of $l44,S55 the same
week in 1898 In the second week this year
ings increased $32 555. despite the fact that the
movement OF grain and farm products cOnsd-
erably less than 1t was year ago. People who
are harping the agricultural position of the
country the lighter movement of food products and
cotton and the prospects for lighter foreign de-
mand this year forget that the American railroads
longer depend upon agriculture alone for their
traffic receipts. Traffic is becoming more diveTsi-
fed in the West and South, and crop failures are
not the menace to the railroads that they
few years ago The railroads will be able to spend
money on improvements this year and op-
Grating expenses will be heavier owing to the
