Agent Scholz informs us that he
has had inquiries from the general
Office in regard to the advisability OF
the night train stopping at Raymond
and that they would act according to
his suggestion. Mr.. Scholz has cent
in favorable report together with
the general feeling of the entire com.
munity and it is only question of 9
few days when the night train will
stop here again.-Raymond News.
Under the old schedule Raymond
people we're enabled to take the after.
noon train for Willmar and return on
the night train, making it very con.
venient especially for the transaction
of business at the county seat. The
passenger business from Raymond,
we believe, will warrant the stopping
of the night train at that point for the
accommodation of these Raymondites.

The bondsmen of Ole Nelson, one OF
the parties charged with illegal liquor
selling, petitioned Judge Qvale to be
released from serving as such bonds
men and on Saturday Nelson was
brought before the Judge to receive
another commitment until new bonds
could be furnished The bonds were
in the sum of $500 and the bondsmen
were M. D. Manning and A. O. Bry-
ant. It is likely that Nelson will have
to serve time until the next term OF

led to the petition for a release as

No Double Pay for Double Headers.

+ Negotiations which have been pend
ing since the first of the year between
the committees of the railway train.
men and conductors and the railways
having their general headquarters in
St. Paul for an increase in wages and
other concessions came to an end
yesterday, when the railroads refused
the request of double pay for double
headers.
Soon after the committees came to
St. Paul conferences between the COM
mittees and the general superintend-
ents were suspended until the rail-
ways running west and southwest from
st. Louis had come to an agreement
with their men. The St. Louis lines
settled and the St. Paul committees
resumed negotiations.
Agreements were reached on the
question of wages, but when it came
to discussion of double-headers the
st. Paul roads, which include the
Northern Pacific. the Great Northern,
the Omaha and the Chicago Great
Western, declined to grant the request
of the men on the double header ques-
tion, and as the committees had no
authority to compromise the negotia-
tions were stopped and the grand off,
GERS were sent for.
A. B. Garretson, assistant grand
chief conductor of the Order of Rail-
way Conductors, and G. W. Neuman,
fourth vice grand master of the Order
OF Railway Trainmen, are expected to
arrive in the city next Monday to take
up the double-header question, and it
is expected that compromise will be
reached.
The conductors and trainmen assert
that within ten or fifteen years the
number of tons hauled in single
train has increased many fold, and
that while two locomotives are re-
quired to haul the heavy trains only
one train crew is employed. The con-
ductors and trainmen contend that as
the trains are so much longer and
heavier, and the companies are able
to make more money to the train, they
should receive double pay for double
header trains of thirty or more loads.
The railroads, it is stated, contend
that double pay for the double-head-
ers is too much of an increase for the
additional service require Pioneer
