M. o. In Chicago as Dead as Caesar
One of the most remarkable reversals
of public opinion on record Is that
which has taken place in Chicago IN
the past year In the matter of mu
nicipal ownership and operation. The
municipal ownership theory, which
little more than year ago fiourished
here with so much vigor as to attract
the attention of the entire civilized
world, is now the deadest duck In the
pond. Apparently nobody believes II
1t any longer. Certainly nobody ever
talks any more about it.-Chicago Jour

ness for good other than what comes
through Grand Forks.
This morning Superintendent Mich
olson of the Dakota division left for
Devils Lake. where he will spend
some time experimenting the extern
sion of the yards at that point. Two
miles more of trackage will be built
not only to Accommodate the material
for the big bridge across Devils Lake
which is arriving, but to accommodate
the traffic which will be much heavier
at that point.
The cutoff will lessen the distance
from st. Paul to the coast materially
and all fast freights and trains three
and four will go that way. 1t will
mean an hour or two saved in mail
service and as much or more in
through freight service.

A BRIGHT FUTURE,
Visiting Banker Believes Minot Bound
to Be Great City.


to Be Great City.
Among the prominent bankers from
the eastern part of the state in the
city recently was Geo. H. Phelps, the
cashier of the Commercial bank of
Fargo. Mr.. Phelps is vice-president
of the Farmers State bank of Upham,
of which Mr.. Silas Wright Bond of
Minot is president and w. s. Young of
Upham, cashier. In a ninterview with
Mr.. Phelps, who is thoroughly con-
versant with things and affairs in this
part of North Dakota, he spoke as fol-
lows:
1T was only last summer that was
in your city. From the growth of
Minot in these few months l can pro-
phesy wonderful things for you in the
next few years. This and environing
countries constitute the coming coun-
try of Uncle Sans domain. You
have unlimited possibilities. Geo.
graphically one locality in every given
portion of the country is bound to be
the center of trade, learning and popu-
lation. Minot is the center for this
section. The railroad facilities and
the general lay of the country make
Minot the logical distributing point
for very large area.
Speaking of the banking business
in the Eighth judicial district, the
bankers of this district are a bright,
keen, active, energetic and progressive
lot of fellows and will certainly see
that the banking fraternity set pace
for other lines of business to follow"

the members of the commission, Chief
Weighmaster Kimball, Chief Inspec-

have not been summoned to appear in
court, but such summonses are expect

will not alter existing conditions,
which may be changed only by action
on injunction proceedings.
The case is Of peculiar interest in
North Dakota as the grain from the
state is effected.

SHORT ALL AROUND.
Demented Dwarf Short of Cash AMI
Brains Taken Into Custody.

BRAINS luken INTO custody.
A man giving his name as John
Mills and claiming Cincinnati, Ohio, MS
his home and printer as his occupa-
ton, boarded the Oriental Limited in
Seattle Tuesday. He had a ticket for
st. Paul. Shortly after the train pull
ed out of Seattle he gave evidence of
being either drug fiend or mentally
deranged. At first his actions did not
attract much attention, but when
the train got into the eastern part of
Montana it became necessary for one
of the trainmen to be assigned to
watch the man SO peculiar and obnox-
ious to the passengers did he become.
Mills, who is a dwarf, was short Of
money and had had nothing to eat
since the time he left Seattle and he
was not warmly clothed. In view of
all of these facts the conductor of the
train deemed it best to telegraph ahead
to Minot for police assistance. When
the train pulled into this city Wednes-
day night it was met by Officers Chas.
Lake and c. ]. Ziegenbren, who con-
veyed Mills as prisoner to the coun-
ty Jail. This afternoon the lunacy
board of Ward county, consisting of
Judge Davis, DR.. Taylor and States
Attorney McGse. examined Mills as to
his sanity.

EPIDEMIC OF RUNAWAYS.
Horses Object to Standing In the
Cold.

The Transfers who left their horses
on the street today with or without
weights were surprised when they re-
turned from within some building to
find them gone. There were a dozen
or more runaways but only one sue
ceeded in getting up any excitement.
The big team owned by the Diamond
mill started near the Great Northern
station on DeMers avenue and ran
east. When they passed the Ontario
they stirred up one of Towards sim
gle delivery rigs and the bunch head
ed for the east side and cheer and
warmth. The Howard horse had good
success but the mill team ran afoul
of one of Fuller's dray rigs and both
teams went down in promiscuous
pile. Strange to say neither team
was hurt. The neckyoke and the pole
on the Fuller rig were broken but
otherwise no damage was done other
than slight scratch on the neck of
one of the horses.

Supt. Allard and His Assistants Find
Many Cases OF Where the Current
Goes Into the Ground and Is Wasted
Trees Are the Cause,

Trees Are the Cause,
The main trouble and drawback to
the electric light plant of East Grand
Forks has been located by Supt. AL
lard and his assistants on First. Sec
ond, Third and Fourth streets. The
causes of the trouble are trees which
have their branches growing into the
bare wires. The current strikes the
trees and the current naturally takes
the easiest course. which is to the
ground, is thus wasted and the city
loses the value of the power.
The trouble is being eradicated by
cutting off the branches which are the
cause and the city will be many dol
lars ahead as result. In some cases
the branches are completely burned
through by the current, and from this
1t can be seen what an enormous
amount of power his been wasted in
the past year or two. The removing
OF this obstacle will help materially
the plan of furnishing all the power
wanted by the residents and citizens.
The new voltmeter and antmeter
which will be be installed in the near
future will help materially in locating
such leaks and wastes. The voltmetar
will show the voltage of the current
which is being wasted by going into
the ground and the antmeter. will show
the amount Of the current. The me-
tiers will pay for themselves in a very
short time if they can locate the large
leak which is thought to be in close
proximity to the plant.

Last evening the officers from the

trains on both sides Of the river for
a young boy about IA years old, small
for his age, dark completed and
wearing gold trimmed glasse. A war
rant had been sworn out for his ar
rest by Andrew Peterson, proprietor
of the Northwestern hotel on the east
side.
It seems that things have been miss

that all things pointed to the boy as
the guilty party. This time it is a
watch which belongs to Mr.. Peterson.
Although close scrutiny was kept
on all outgoing trains, the boy was not
apprehended last evening.
