st. Paul, August 26.-There is per-
sistent but unconfirmed rumor that the
Great Western railroad has been
bought by the Northern Pacific and
will soon become part of that sys
tenn.
Color is lent to the report from the
fact that it is well known that the
Northern Pacific has been trying to
secure an entrance into Chicago for
some time. 1t cndeavOred to buy the
Burlington road but those negotiations
failed and it is but natural that it
should turn its attention TO the Great
Western.
1t is also learned that lately all
supplies for the repair of the road
which has been going on very rapidly
since Morgan obtained control of it,
has suddenly stopped and nothing is
doing.
Although railroad officials in both
the Northern Pacific and Great West
ern roads deny any knowledge of such
deal. it is believed that the sale has
practically been made and will be 80
announced as soon as details of the
transaction are sufficiently completed

Ed Brpders, the runaway boy who
was taken into custody by the police
Tuesday evening, returned to his home
in Minneapolis this morning. The
father of the boy came down to get
his son, having decided to withdraw

Senator Clapp is Hoosier by birth,

of the republican committee had list

each with the claim that Senator Clapp
had lived in each of these communities
at some time in his life. Lafayette

valid claims, and while Chairman Lee
looks upon the struggle to secure
Senator Clapp for an oratorical atrac-

Minnesota senator.
