~,-, FARGO.

Fargo, N. D., March 24.-The ,oity
of Fargo is involved in a couple of alb
sorbing ante-election questions, one
relating to the proposition before the
voters of bonding the city for $780,
900 to establish a new water plant
with a filter. The necessity of this
addition to the water supply is an &C.
knewledged one on all hands, the
question arising seems to be as to
the manner in which the money will
be expended after it is voted. The
present water filtering system of the
city is said to be very unsatisfactory
Another matter before the Fargo
council is a proposition from a Fer
gus Falls power company to enter the
field to furnish power and light for
the city. Another serious question is
the demand on the part Of numerous
interests Of the city to restore the
"red light district" which has been
broken up, and to substitute regular
police supervision Of the present un-
satisfactory regulations of the local
evil. ~*'.

prosperity assured he planned to be
married last Saturday and Miss Ell
lengsen was to meet him in Mime
apolis. She stopped in Halfa, Iowa,
to visit. relatives and left there Fri
day, but Velin missed her. In order
to hasten matters he obtained the
marriage license in advance and ar
ranged with Court Commissioner w.
e. Bates to meet the train at the
Union station, and marry them in
the waiting room. The preparations
were Of no avail, however, for the
girl wasn't on the train. y
While searching the other passen-
ger stations Vein fell in with an ac-
commodating man who helped him In
the search and also shared his room

VACUUM CLEANER ON TRAINS
Oriental Limited Equipped With New
Device

The Great Northern Railway has IN
troduced another innovation on its
transcontinental train between st.
Paul and the Pacific Coast. Vacuum
cleaning machines are now used to
keep the cars spick and span. The
time honored broom has been relegat-
ed to dark corner of the porter's
locker and it's function hereafter will
be performed by machine in charge
of a skilled operator. The apparatus
comprises vacuum pump driven by
an electric motor and a metallic res
ervoir for receiving the dirt. The
machine is mounted on wheels and is
taken from car to car. There are
special attachments for taking the
dust out of upholstery, curtains and
draperies, as we'll as from the car
pets. The MACHINE is a part OF the
train equipment and uniformed
operator has been added to the train
crew: his only duties being to keep
the cars neat and clean.
