Confession of a
Railr d Man
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF THE
'FRlsco-RocK ISLAND SYSTEM
MAKES ADMISSIONS.

D.
NEW YORK, March 2e.-Benjamin
F. Yoakum, chief executive of the
'Frisco-Rock Island Railroad System,
who has under his direction more
miles Of railroad than any other man
on earth, says:
"A railroad has no more business
to be at the mercy OF stock jobbers
than savings bank or life insur.
ance company. The American rail-.
roads are. or should be, as much
public trust as these institutions.
When the public insists that they be
run honestly, they win begin to fulfil
their rightful destiny and too, they
will be more prosperous than they have
ever been.
II will be frank. The people are
not without Justification in the belief
that the railroads have been system.
atically robbing them. No one is to
blame for the present anti.railroad
sentiment but the railroad managers
themselves. ~
Day Of Reckoning.
Now the day of reckoning has
come and it will prove blessing not
only to the nation, but to the rail.
roads. For in almost every case where
there hay. been Illegal operations,
they have been in the interest. not
of the roads, but of the men who con.
trolled the roads.
VERY often the roads have suffer.
ed heavily; frequently they have been
wrecked"
Mr.. Yoakum said he was opposed
to government ownership of the rail.
roads, but added II do believe in own.
ership IF the railroads by the people,
coupled with strict federal supervision
of the rates. No railroad honestly
operated need fear any federal control
that may be imposed. though under
the present righteous Inflammation of
public opinion, they may and do fear
State legislation"

aThe Missouri Girl

The character of .Zeise'. in ..The
Missouri Giris is one of unique con.
'ceprion. Among the many impersona,
tons Ct rural types offered to the
show going public there are but q lin.
tied few which have even attempted
to portray this interesting character
as he actually is. The caricature OF
the farmer IS so firmly impressed upon
our minds that 1t rs hard for US to
conceive any idea OF a stage farm.

NOISY expectoration. Probably only

made the slightest effort to do jus.
tice TO the man who Is the foundation
of our Republic.
In the above mentioned plays both
author and actor a.fhere strictly to
the realism Of the part. That among
all others -zekes in @The Missouri
Girl Is the one true portrayal of an
honest. bright country boy is an ad-
nitted fact. He says and does only
what he should do and say, no more
and no less.
He Is not a caricature. but natural
everyday farm boy with more than
his share Of brains. Not being used to
the city he makes ludicrous mistakes
but on fhe farm he IS perfectly at
home, and while his manner is pecu-
liar, his expressions droll, his Ian.
giiage and dialect extremely amusing,
still he is no fool.

Made Remarkable Record.

After three weeks of extraor-
binary hard and efficient work,
the grand jury was dismissed by
Judge Goss Saturday noon. The
Judge paid the jury some high
compliments on the good work
deae and said that while some
regarded a grand jury as a bill
Of expense for a county, that in
this case at least, the Jury had
undoubtedly saved the county a
good deal Of money. 1t has been
estimated that the jury saved
Ward county in the neighbor.
hood OF ter thousand dollars.
Here is the record: In the
three weeks the jury found true
bills against "a alleged criminals
and 10 against men charged with
rnisdemeanors. How we'll they
Judged the men can be seen by
the fact that out of this entire
number, all entered a plea OF
guilty with the exception OF
three, who are John Hayes,
-:haEged with stealing goods from
! tive Minot stores, and Watson
AMI Brown, two men charged
y#ithsattempting to break into

viii Sentence Prisoners Monday

Next Monday will be the great
day of the present term OF Dis
trict Court, when all OF the pris-
.oners will receive their sentences.
Immediately afterwards, Sheriff
Lee and half a dozen deputies
will leave for Bismarck with a
part of them. They will be
grouped and held together with
nand cuffs and leg irons and
every precaution will be made to
keep them from escaping. There
are some desperate men in the
bunch.
Trixy Rogers, Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Fergus and e. Lantry, OF
Sherwood, were found guilty OF
conducting a bawdy house, on
Wednesday. Bert Combs, charg.
ed with conducting a blind pig
in Minot, will be tried tomorrow.
Nellie Duffy, charged with con
Quoting a blind pig and bawdy
house 10 Minot, will also be tried
tomorrow.
The Ward kaufman case which
was tried in District Court, has
been thrown out OF this court.
for it has been ascertained that
the case first should have been
tried before the county court.
This will he done soon and then
in case of conviction, the parties
may appeal to district court.
Some very unpriutable evidence
was brought out in this case.
Jake Kaufman, a we'll digger,
living twelve miles northeast OF
Donnybrook had his wife and a
neighbor named Ed. Ward ar
rested, charged with adultery.
The couple were ARE sted once
previously, but were discharged.
From the evidence, it appears
that Mrs. Kaufman became en-
amored with Ward, who has a
wife and several children. Mrs.
Kaufman has applied for a di-
vorce on the grounds ofinhuman
treatment.
Judge Goss declares that be
will continue court until he has
cleared up the calendar. He
planned on a weeks vacation,
but the Jurors asked to continue

McHugh Says Coal is Coming,

w. C. McHugh, agent for tie
G.. n. at Minot. states that there
are 1900 cars OF coal east OF
Larimore which will be brot west
in a few days-if the weatherman
will only dish us out a few calm
days. He believes that 800 cars
could be moved in a week.
Two cars of hard coal consign.
ed to the railway company ar
rived in this city and one was
turned over to each of the coal
dealers, but as one OF the dealers
had orders for 135 tons, of hard
coal, he was unable to fill all OF
them.
Teams are hauling Ignite from
the mines every day SO no one is
suffering for the want OF fuel.
Minot uses approximately 300
tons of coal a day. There was a
time that Mr.. McHugh can re.
member and not so very long
ago, when just two cars Of hard
coal we're brot to Minot every
winter. and the six families who
used it found it hard to get rid
OF all of that much.
The Great Northern has had a
hard time keeping the lines open.
It's not the great piles OF snow
that cause the bother, but
thousands of smaller piles, piled
hard on the track. The whole
track perhaps is covered with
snow and be it ever 80 little, let
a traiu get stalled, and she will
have to be assisted before she
can start.
Westhope has sent in an order
for eight cars Of coal saying that
this will relieve the situation for
three days.
