cussed at recent farmers elevator
meeting at the schoolhouse in district

encing the Great Northern people to

olson Chaffee branch direct to Fargo.

perfect satisfaction to the near by pa
irons, and so well has 1t been patron

from Addison as Addison is from Far
go.
The construction of such a line
would obviate the necessity of run
ming the local addison Chaffee) over
that portion of the main line, between
Casselton and Addison, already served
by local and transcontinental trains
and would serve as an outlet for the
many fine farms which lie midway be-
tween the main line OF the ". p. rail-
road and it's S. w. branch.
The people of that vicinity will nc
doubt be heard from on this subject
in the near future. A Farmer.

ST. LOUIS MAN WITH THIRTY.
THREE FRACTURES WILL
HAVE NEW FEATURES.

ST. Louis, Feb. 5.--When Thomas
Herbert leaves the city hospital he
will have brand new face. Half a
dozen physicians and surgeons are
making the visage for him, and they
promise such an Improvement over the
countenance that nature gave that
even his best girl will not know him.
While driving a wagon Wednesday
Herbert fell off and the hind wheel
passed over his face. The hospital
physicians found thirty three fractures
in the bones in his face. In fixing him
up it was necessary to remodel his
features along entirely new lines. The
surgeons are now wiring the bones sc
the fractures will knit, and are read
1usting the flesh SO as to give the face
symmetry and character.
