TO IMPROVE CHAuTAuQuA RAILROAD
Arrangements Have Assumed Tan.
gible Form and Service Will
Be Doubled.

Sometime ago it was announced that
many improvements would be made
on the Chautauqua railroad. but un-
til this week nothing had been accom-
plished.
This week, however. during visit
to the Twin Cities. G. w. H. Davis
and Edgar LaRue of the Chautauqua
railway, made all the arrangements
for improving the service OF the line
Several new cars were purchased and
another complete train will DO equip
ped and added to the present service.
A passing track will be built midway
between Devils Lake and Chautauqua
and trains will be run every 80 min
utes during the Chautauqua season.
The plan of laying heavier steel on
the line has been abandoned for the
present for the reason that it is i'm
possible to get the rails. The mills
are from one to two years behind ON
orders owing to the great amount of
railway building being done in this
country and Canada and secondhand
rails have been grabbed up for side
track purposes. BY doubling their
equipment the Chautauqua railway
hopes to be able to take care OF the
traffic in a manner entirely satisfac-
tory to their patrons.

Well Known Religious Drama Pre-.
scented to an Appreciative Audi.
ence Last Evening.

A small. but exceptionally WELL
balanced cast. becomingly costumed
and we'll staged, presented THE Sign
of the Cross" at the Metropolitan last
evening. The attendance. although
fair in numbers, was not nearly as
large as the production merited.
1t is too often the case with plays
of this class that the leading charac-
ter is over-worked. as it were. leaving
the support simply the bare privilege
of being present on the stage to I'LL
in" Not so with the company which
held the boards at the Met last even
ing. Marcus the project, an excep-
tionally strong character, demon
strated that he knew his place, thus
permitting the audience to become ac-
quainted, not alone with himself, but
with his supporting company
1.-THE Sign Of the Cross" religious
drama, is a play that permits the de-
velopment of number of strong char
acters. Such, indeed. were Nero. the
emperor; Poppaea. the empress; Ber-
EMS. the princess, strong lover and
fierce hater: Dacia the direlict, and
DaOnes, who believed in having many
lovers. The latter. Miss Katherine
Naefz off the state. is a talented
musician. with very pretty soprano
voice.
All in all. the presentation was a
very satisfactory one. and was wit
messed by an appreciative and adj
miring audience.

THE SANE STORY.

The Granville Herald does not take
much stock in the political prophesy
OF our D. NJ. Holmes, as the follow
ing from that paper will show:
Hon. D. NJ. Holmes, ex-treasurer
of Grand Forks county, and at one
time the democratic nominee for gov
ernor of North Dakota. was Gran
vile visitor yesterday. returning from
business trip up the branch. Mr..
Holmes is confident of democratic
success for IL part of the state ticket.
He believes that c. j. Fisk will be
elected supreme court justice by an
overwhelming majority and that John
Burke will be the next governor of
the state. Mr.. Holmes expressed sim
liar views to the writer when he was
Il candidate for governor and his po-
litical predictions should be taken
with grain OF salt. Mr.. Holmes is
at the head of an extensive insurance
business at the Forks, where he is a
popular and highly respected citizen.'
