her four-year-old brother.
The two children, consequently, were

mother.

and material is now on the road for the
construction of the line. The line will
start in Belfield and run north as far as
O. F. Olson's place, simply as a toll
line. There will only be three stations
along the line, each a pay station and
located in a good part of the country.
Frank Dick may have one of the stations
at his place and the third point is not
decided as yet. This line is being
established more as a matter of accom-
mediation than for financial interests.
The country north is we'll taken up with
prosperous ranchers and farmers and it
is mainly to accommodate these people
that the company was organized. In the
spring if the people living in the coun-
try along the line are anxious to put in
phones it may be changed into a peo-
pies line, but it will run simply as a
toll line this winter. Those interested
in the company are: Ed. O'Connor. R.

RATES REDUCED.

Dickinson has finally received
credit for a complete water works
system and fire insurance rates
are generally reduced.
During the past week Mr.. Jones,
representing the Dakota and Min
ncsota underwriters, has been in
the city personally Investigating
risks and the source Of water sup
ply for fire protection. AS a
result of Mr.. Jones visit a new
rate book will be issued in about
three weeks which will show the
minimum rate for frame dwellings
at 50 cents per hundred instead of
90 cents as heretofore, and a 40 cent
rate for brick and stone dwellings,
against the old rate of 50 cents.
There is also a general reduction
in mercantile risks. IN some in
stances frame buildings arc adj
vanced a little. This is due to a
misunderstanding of existing con-
ditions. The moving picture show
places are slightly increased, as is
the case in every city; but on the
whole the reduction in insurance
rates will make a very substantial
showing.
Supt. VIM. J. Littlehales spent
several hours in showing Mr.. Jones
the new water works system and
the insurance representative ex-
pressed himself as satisfied that
Dickinson now had a thoroughly
good equipment for fighting fire.
Mr.. Jones also expressed the be-
lief that the council had placed
the right man in charge of the
water supply.

THE VERDICT STANDS.

The newspapers of the state
seem to be pretty generally agreed
that as a matter of justice, apart
from a party standpoint, the prim-
airy verdict in the senatorship
should stand and that there should
be no move in the Legislature to
set it aside. There is, naturally, a
difference of opinion as to the
best means of electing senators
and as to the best men to be elected
to the senatorship. The federal
constitution provides for the
election of senators by the legis-
lative assembly, and in no other
way can a senator be chosen.
But it has been held that the
people of the state have the right
to express themselves as to their
popular choice although no legal
binding pledge can be imposed
upon a member of the Legislature
to abide the choice of the prim-
aries, Inasmuch as all the can
didates for the senatorship partic-
ipated in the primaries it would
seem that all should abide the re-
sult.-Bismarck Tribune.

Woodward and Milwaukee-aves.. Mon
day afternoon, with the result that
both were in the police court, tuesday
morning, charged with disturbing the
peace. Postmaster Homer Warren
and his assistant, Joseph Mayworm,
were interested spectators at the trial.
Smith was returning to the sub-sta-
ton from a trip In the north end.
The car. down-bound, stopped on the
north side of the boulevard and as "
started again, Smith signaled the con-
ductor to stop on the other side. which
would land him directly in front OF
the Office. The ordinance now requires
cars to stop on both SIDES OF the bouie-
ward.
The conductor, according to Smith,
was busy talking with a woman in the
front OF the car and did not notice
the signal, so Smith was carried past
the postoffice AS the car neared Mil
waukee without showing any signs OF
Stacking up. Smith, standing on the
rear platform. gave the cord two or
three vicious tugs and, as the car
slowed down, jumped off. Conductor

out and, II is alleged. called the mail
man a vile name, to which the latter
responded in kind Dadswell then left
THE car and the two men clinched.
Just at this juncture, Capt. Sullivan,
OF Elmwood station appeared on the
scene and, after pulling the scrappers
apart, with the assistance OF the
motorman, placed both under arrest.
Justice Jeffries fined Dadswell So

D. U.R.'S RECEIPTS
SHOW SHR|NKAGE

That the receipts of the Detroit
United Railway on its city lines are
falling off this year Is shown by the
tax statement filed, Tuesday. The
street railway company pays spe-
cific percentage tax on the receipts
from its hvecent lines and this is
less than for the corresponding por-
tion OF 1907.
This is interesting as showing a con
d!tion similar to that in Cleveland
where Tom l.. Johnson complains that
hard times have cut down the car
rides and hurt his traction plan.
The payment made by the ID. u. X.
amounts TO s20,203.O2 for the first six
months OF the year. Last year the
city got 2O.769.07 for the same period.
Past experience has been that the
receipts increase from eight TO IL
per cent per year.
