PUSH THE WORK.
General Washburn Goes East to
Arrange for Rushing Work on
His Road.

Among the railroad notes afioat in
the Twin cities is the following:
Senator W. d. Washburn, who is the
leading spirit in the proposition to build
forty-fiye miles of railroad from Bis
-marck. to Washburn, n. d., has gone
east, and while. there will make fur
Their arrangements for pushing the
work to as early completion as pos
sible.
The name of the company has re-
Gently been changed to the Bismarck,
Washburn & Great Falls. The re-
naming of the organization by ineor-
porating the name of an enterprising
and prosperous community in Nom
tana has given M%ontanans and others
who feel greatly concerned in the pro-
ject the. idea that ultimately the road
will be a very considerable and inn
portant one for the two states in which
it will be located. The main import
ance of the proposed line-or at least
that portion of the road which Senator
! WaShburn has already decided t
builds that it will connect with the
| 500 railway. The 500 railway now
runs to a point about so miles to the
southeast of Bismarck. The probable
tiles + that by the time Senator
Washburn's 45 miles of roadway from
Bismarck north by west to Washburn
is completed the 500 company will be-.
| gin the construction of an extension
to the North Dakota capital.
Senator Washburn had given the
idea very careful study before he took
any definite action. He is now very
enthusiastic over the scheme. The
work of grading the road from Bis
marck to Washburn was pushed quiet
ly but with energy, so that it is prac-
tically completed and is ready for the
rails. The work of laying rails will
begin as soon as the weather vii, per-
NIT. 1t is expected the road VI IL be
in operation before midsummer.
Senator Washburn had purchased a
very large tract of land in Burleigh
and Mclean counties in North Dakota
-115,0 900 acres in all-and found ready
sale for a considerable part of this
property. The main purpose-or at
least the initial purposes to develop
the great grazing country in the coun-
ties named. When the road is pushed
on to Great Falls, as its originator ex-
poets it will be. it will run UP around
the bends of the Missouri river.

DEATH OF MRS. CHAPMAN.

Braddock Republican: Mrs! Levi
Chapman passed from this life at Bis
marck Tuesday, January 18th, leaving
a husband and several children to
mourn the loss of a true wife and Il
loving mother.
For many years Mrs. Chapman. with
her husband and children, resided in
Emmons county and enjoyed the love
and respect of a large circle of friends.
Her health has for some months past
been failing, and it was while at Bis
marck receiving medical treatment
that death claimed her. Funeral ser
vices were held at that city before the
body was brought to EAnmons county.
The interment was made at Danhury,
where are buried Mr.. G~haprnan's par
ents and other relatives of the family.
Rev. Wray conducted the services at
the grave.
The news of her death brings sad
ness to the hearts of the older resi-
dents of the county who knew her best,
and mot only do they deeply sylnIia7
thize with the bereayed ones here. but

PETRIFIED FAKE.

Recently a two-column article APP
peared in the st. Paul Globe regarding
the wonderful petrifed corpse
which was exhibited in Bismarck last
month. The writer attempted to
prove it to be that of Gen. Thomas
Francis Meagher, the Irish hero, who
was supposed to have been drowned
in the vicinity of Fort Burton, Mont.
in June, 1867. The New York World
of two weeks ago also had a write-up
of the petrified man and attempted to
make the facts of Gem Meagher's death
fit into the story of the finding of the
supposed freak on the banks Of the
Missouri. In speaking of the World
article, a Montana paper. the Miles
City Journal, considers the petrified
man story as the colossal fake of the
season. 1t is not disputed that, under
certain conditions, animal matter will
petrify, but the process of petrification
is believed to require centuries CT time.

Remarkable Increases that Have Been

almost exactly a year apart. The re-

nearly three millions of dollars. The
surplus and profits have increased over
$15O,000 and the Individual deposits

The public-especially those. who are
not familiar with the requirements in
cident to, this laborous work-must
bear in mind that the information
which is required by the government
will not be used to increase taxation,
impose duties or infict burdens of any
kind on the people-but is, purely for
the purpose of giving such detailed in
formation as is absolutely necessary
to the welfare and benefit of the United
States as a wnole. Farmers as well
as business men a greatly facilitate
the work and lessen the labor of the
enumerators by preparing in advance

ton that may be valuable to the gov
