The minneapolis. AnOka 4 Suburban
Railway Company Seeking Con- go
cessiOns at AnOka


The Minneapolis, Anoka & Suburban
Railway company project has recently
been revived and it Is asserted that the
company is now ready to do business.
Before going any farther, however, the
company wants to be assured of the CO.
operation of the citizens and city off,
Gals Of Anoka, and to that end a mass
meeting in that city has been called for
Saturday evening at the city hall. The
company wants the use Of. the bridge
across the river near Champlin until Aug.
1, when it promises to have bridge Of
its own completed. It also desires a
right of way through Anoka. Granted
these concessions, the company promises
to have the road in operation by May l.
The right of way between the Mime
apolis terminus at Robbinsdale and Cham
pin has nearly all been purchased.
The company proposes to use COM
pressed air as power. This would indi-
cate that there was no connection between
the new company and the Twin City
Rapid Transit company.
Those most actively interested in the
enterprise are E. E. Stewart of Seattle

Kelly, for twelve years stock inspector in

traders who camp in the vicin-

The Atlantic Monthly.

The Atlantic Monthly pursues the even tenor of its way with it's peculiar and special characteristics. It is prominent in poetic presentations as well as in the discussion of all current topics, social, political. economic and educational.
 For 1903 there will be two serial novels, one by Arthur s. Hardy. the other by Margaret Sherwood entitled Daphne. :" This latter is the story of an American girl in Italy. The short stories will be the work of E. w. Hornung, Kate Mill ner Rabb. Ella A. Peattie, Lydie T. Per kins, Florence Wilkinson. Harriet Pres colt Spofford. R. E. Young, Beirne Lay, Arthur McFarlane. Fanny K. Johnson and many others. Two valuable articles will be John T. Trowbridges My Own Story and MT. Leslie Stephens Eng fish Men of Letters" On that most vital topic, education, there will be contribu- tions, written by the presidents of Prince ton University, Yale, Bowdoin and Will Hams colleges. Systematic reviews of all the leading new books always form i'm portant features of the Atlantic, and these will be continued. MT. M. A. De Wolfe Howe's Chapters of Boston History" confined to the Nineteenth Century, will certainly attract many readers.

Warming About Royalty.

Some remarkable yarn-spinning con- corning the royal family of Rusisa has been going on for several months. The czar has been pictured as suffering from various kinds of brain trouble. and his wife as in deep melancholia because all her children are girls. The Czar's broth CT. 1t seems. is insane. The desire of His Majesty to abdicate every now and then reaches a critical point. The culmi- nation appears to have been reached in the story that the Czar has just been rescued with extreme difficulty from the overpowering influence of a mesmerist, who figures in the reports like some Me- phistophelian fiend with pointed ears and a tail. Not so very long ago there were stories that the German Kaiser had a diseased ear that was slowly driving him mad. and there was no one who could prove the story to be false. All that is known today is that the Kaiser seems more sane than ever before in his life.
