A Farmers Railway.

| [Isnac T., Marcosson In Worlds Work. ]
| The movement of crops was former
ly a problem, but railways and trolley
lines almost to the farners's doors
now provide transportation. But Diff
cult1es arise, such as confronted the
wheat growers of Ramsey county, N.
| y.
These farmers hauled their grain
often distance of twenty-five miles
Ito Devils Lake, the county seat,
thru which the Great Northern rail-
way passed 1t kept the farmers haul
ing grain all winter. They asked
James J. HILL president Of the Great
Northern railroad. to build n branch
line from Devdrs Lake up thru their
section. Mr.. Hill said he could not
build. Six OF the largest farmers met
at q school house. One Of them was
Joseph Kelly, who owned 900 acres Of
land, and who hauled his wheat fifteen
miles to Devils Lake. Mr.. Kelly said:
TT the Great Northern won't build, we
will build" And the farmers built n
railroad twenty-five miles long.
They asked every farmer who haul
ed grain to Devils Lake to subscribe.
Some subscribed $25, others $500. They
raised $4,000. They sent farmer to
Duluth to buy ties and another to st.
Paul to buy old rails. A land promot-
err was building a small branch line
out Of DEVILS Lake to the south, and
they got him to survey the road. They
hired section hands to lay the track.
But they needed more money. They
bought land along the line and laid out
three towns, sold lots and used the
money to buy an old engine, day
coach and four box cars from the
Great Northern railway.
Then the road was started. 1t will
stop for any farmer at any place. Last
year the road made It's expenses: 1t
hauled 10000 bushels OF wheat. This
year. with the railroad at hand. the
farmers planted more wheat. and the
road will haul 100000 bushels.
I went to Starkweather, the largest
town laid out by the farmers on their
road. found it busting pface, with
thirty stores and houses, 400 people,
a school house that cost $4,000, three
elevators, with a capacity OF 100000
bushels, three banks, a newspaper and
church. At the other two towns,

Here Is what these farmers had done
when they built their railroad: estab-

were to be paid at this end. The man
who left the satchel with the express

n IKE A DEMON grip has crossed our

physical wrecks.
Victims of catarrh Of the head, catarrh
Ct the throat, catarrh Of the lungs,
catalrh of the stomach, catarrh of the
kidneys, catarrh of the pelvic organs,
are to be counted by hundreds of thou
sands. Grip is epidemic catarrh, and
sows the seed of chronic catarrh within
the system.
This is so true that few grip sufferers
are able to make a complete recovery
until they have used Peruna.
Never in the history of medicine has
remedy received such unqualified and

CATCHY CARTOONCOMEDY
Big Attraction Happy Hooligan'' to
Appear at Turner Theatre.

Happy Hooligan, a comedy based
on Mr.. Opper's famous pictures in the
New York Journal and Chicago Amer
lean, will be the attraction at the
Turner Theatre on Sunday evening,
March 18th. The company producing
the merry musical cartoon comedy is
one Of Gus Hills, the wellknown New
York manager, and this fact in itself
is a guarantee of merit. 1t comes here
almost direct from Milwaukee and goes
from here on a special train to Oma-
ha. Fifty people compose the aggre-
cation and they number among them
some Of the best comedians and spe-
cialty artists in the country. The
press agents promise more up-to-date
comedy, more extravagant scenery,
more hearty laughs, more gorgeous
costumes, more bewitching girls, more
novel and startling specialties, more
catchy music, more good, solid fun
than has been offered by any company
appearing insNew Ulm this season and
the local management has every reason
to believe that the promises will be
carried out to the letter. Among the
special features is what is known as
the 'Diamond Number" in which a
| dozen pretty women appear in jewel
bedecked gowns, costing all of $40, 900.
The gowns are adorned with $500
| rhinestones of the purest cut and lus-
/ tire and when the calsium lights are
| turned on the effect is said to be one
of bewildering beauty. The musical
numbers given by the company include
all Of the latest hits in "The Wizard
Of o." ''Babes in Toyland, - Sultan
of Sulu' and other popular musical
comedies. Seats will be placed or

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-03-02

1t is a question whether or not the
political pill which was given to Mr..
Gunders to swallow was not manufac-
tured out of spite. Its one of the
disgusting things of politics that most
men in Office have strings to their rec
ords that are held in the hands of the
men who helped them to Office. They
are thus deprived of their indepen-
dence. Honor gets little recognition
except like Roosevelt it is backed by
popularity that sinister politicians
fear. There are few men in the state
who if they dared be honest with them
selves would not prefer to see Collins
elected governor rather than Dunn,
but they fear the men who have hold
of the strings that manipulate Dunn,
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1904-03-02

1t is rather amusing to see the polit-
cal forecasters determining how the
complexion of the various parts of the
state is changing in regard to Dunn
and Collins. Some of the papers of
the state cook themselves up into heat
ed arguments to prove that they are
right, when the truth is they don't
know any more about it than anybody
else. The men who seek to be proph-
cts and seers in the political world
are just as numerous and far more in
competent than the prophets and seers
in the religious world. None of them
have honor instheir own country and
few abroad. The man who is able tC
say II know is the man we are al
looking for.
