NEW TRAINS SOUTHWEST d
The Northwestern to Improve Its
Service Materially.

Two new trains will be added TO the
North Western lines service between
Minneapolis and Nottingham, Souix Falls
and Mitchell, S. D. This service will be
daily and will do much to improve the
present service over the North Western
to those points.
The train outbound will leave Mime
apolis at 7:3O, arriving at Worthington
at a. m, at Sioux Falls at a.. m, and
at Mitchell at 9:15 a. m. Returning the
train will leave Mitchell at $3.50" a.. NJ,
arriving in Minneapolis at $780, 1t will
pass through Sioux Falls at 1880 p. m.
n Pullman sleeDers will be run between
the twin cities and Redfeld via Mankato,
Brookings and WATERFOWL, and through
coaches will be, run betweenge2the twin
cities, Tracy, Mimi, and Mitchell.
In addition to this, the Sioux Falls
sleeper will be made a through car to
Mitchell, thus establishing through sleep
er service to that point. p !.
This will necessitate change in the
schedule Of the twin city-Kansas City
train, known as the Kansas CityOmaha
limited. There will be no change in the
time of arrival and departure of this
train, but after Aug. 81 it will make only
four stops in Minnesota, and thus become
practically through train.

PITlFUL DEPRAVITY
A 9-Year-O1d Girl Sent to the State
School.

Maggie Zavottski, years of age, was
arraigned in police court this morning
charged with incorrigibility. Judge Dickin-
son ordered her sent to the state train;
ing school.
Little Maggie had a sad story, to tell
Police Matron Mrs. Schaeffer when she
was brought to the police station last
night She has been the victim Of a Pol
ander, named Bozo, for whom warrant
has been issued and the man has COM
PEELED the girl to steal for him. The two
were clever in their work and stole a
great deal Of property. .-:
A few weeks ago the little girl was
brought to the station and then sent to
Bethany home. While at the station Mrs.
Schaeffer left the room for a few minutes.
The girl, seeing an opportunity to exer-
else the tricks Bozo had taught her, and
stole a valuable pearl pin from the table.
The pin was found in her pocket later and
she explained that she thought she ought
to take it. because she had such a good
chance.
Mrs. Schaeffer said that the girl has no
idea of right OF wrong, and that while the
child has done great deal of stealing, she
did not realize that she had been doing
wrong. The matron concluded that the
state training school is the only place for
the child and asked Judge Dickinson to
send her there ;. -

mo DIVIDEND ON 500 HOT TINE OF AGAINST VICE HAY MAKES ANSWER
Those Who Shape the Roads Policy
Oppose It,
WANT MONEY FOR IMPROVEMENTS
The Recent Sharp Advance II Sur
prise When the Situation
Is Known.

- x . d
In spite of repeated statements to the
contrary, by men in authority, eastern
financial papers profess to believe that
the 500 board of directors will finally de-
eide to make, a distribution of dividends.
1t is thought in many quarters that the
expressions Of these papers have had
much to do with the strong, buying of 500
stock which has been on for some time
and the consequent lively advance of ten
points in the quotations. Men we'll
posted on the affairs Of the 500 say that
notwithstanding the fact that the 500
could declare a dividend if it desired,
none will be declared and consequently
there are likely to-, be some disappointed
people after the ANNUAL meeting next
month. p" - 49,. -
On recent trip east, President Thomas
Lowry, in newspaper interview indi-
Gated that there would be no dividend
action at the coming annual meeting.
General Manager E. Pennington has
stated plainly on two occasions that
there would be no dividends and his
position against such action is known
to be stronger than ever. Mr.. Pen
nington is said to be anxious to
strengthen the 500 roads position in
the northwest and needs the money
now on hand to carry out these plans
For some years the 500 has been
planning important extensions on it's
western DIVISION ana now LlaC the TOau
is financially able to proceed, those
deeply interested in the future of the
property are anxious to push the plans
through. Some e. of the local men on
the 500 board are said to favor divi-
dend action, but the Canadian Pacific
influence will be potent and this is said
to point strongly in the direction of no
dividends. The Canadian Pacific is fol-
lowing a conservative dividend policy
throughout, devot1ng much of it's funds
toward extensions and equipment. This
policy can be very proftably followed
on the 500. .. b..
The swift rise in 500 stock has been a
surprise to many of the men closely iden-
tilted with the fortunes Of the 500 road.
When the stock was around 60 these men
believed that lacking dividend support,
it could go no farther. It was predict ed
that when the annual meeting had ad-
journed without declaring dividends, there
would be a temporary slump in price
caused by disappointed purchasers placing
their holdings on the market. Instead
Of that, the price went up ten points and
the dividend talk continues. 1t is said
that some of the 500 stock bought in
the last few months has been for long
time investment. A considerable element
is credited to speculation. The annual
meeting takes place on Sept. 10, and it's
result will be awaited with interest.
Men who ought to know all about 500
affairs, and this includes some very near
the Canadian Pacific influence on the 500
board, we're decidedly positive in their as
sertions to-day that the 500 will declare
no dividends this year.

Governor Van SAINT has invited the gov
ernors Of states adjoining Minnesota to

explains the nature Of the convention,
reads as follows: ..'
The national government, under direction Of
James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, and
Martin Dodge director of the office of public
road inquiries of said department., have per-
fected arrangements for inaugurating cam
paign of education upon the subject of high

On the first, second and third days of said
week there will assemble in the auditorium
| hall the state fair grounds a convention
for the discussion of methods of and to
| promote interest in common road improve
ment. ;. e., ",,. ..sr.,
Roadways are in a measure, the index OF
attained. Although the commercial value Of

flying to observe the great interest manifested
throughout the country on this .mportan
subject. " 4"

Harper's Ferry, the Gate to the

Where the three states of Virginia, West

where the Potomac and Shenandoah riv-
ers unite; where the towering sleeps of

upon the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia., lies the quaint
historic town of Harpers Ferry John

were done and the tales that are told
