morrow Saturday afternoon, at A
O'Clock. at the Office of the president,
w. A. Scott, for business of great i'm
portance will be attended to, among

Traveller: Why in the world doesn't
the Northern Pacific add another st.
Paul sleeper to its train, No. 8? Six
nights out of the seven it is impossible
to get lower berth and quite often
| the uppers are at a premium. Last
night two ladies We're obliged to take
uppers or nothing, and as they were
| to fill an important engagement they
could not wait for another train. Twice
recently | have not been able to get
] any kind of a berth, when business
has called me east at short notice. A
little examination into the facts and
1.-the passenger managers will soon real
| ize the need of another sleeper on that
train.
R. Freeman: Speaking of the new
hotel that is to be built here by Fargo
enterprise, it would seem as though a
name should be selected that has a
| local significance and would suggest
/ "The Chaplin" as being more distinc-
/ tive of this town than any other namc
could be. There is not an old resi-
ldent here who is not aware of what j
| b. Chaplin did for Fargo. He had in-
| plicit confidence in the future of this
/ city, and did more than any other man
/ to bring Fargo to the front. | think
/ "The Chaplin would be the best mon
1 ument that could be erected to the
| memory of the greatest of all Fargo
4 boomers.
f. ID. Hall, Supt: Several item.
have appeared in the city papers re-
garding the kidnapping (so-called) of
child at Tower City by Hans. Wager
/ Of Owatonna, Mimi, and it was STATED
that he was manager of the children
home there To correct an impres
sion that might be gained by some
wish to state that the institution ther
Is the state school for homeless, child
rem, and Mr.. Yager is not the manage
or superintendent, but the travelling
agent appointed by the state of Min
nesota to place and visit homeless
children. The Minnesota Children
e Home society is an entirely distinc
Organization located at 2239 Common
wealth avenue, st. Paul and Rev. E. {
II Savage is the superintendent. Th
II state schol at Owatonna is liberall
y supported and equipped by the stat
" governHlent,lof. Minnesota by taxation
Asgto the merits of this particular cas-
II know nothing, but Mr. Wager visite
IA my office while in Fargo and informe
4 me that the children in question weT
regularly assigned to the state schoo
and that they were legally in its pos
session.
