years the citizens of Eynnville have
had to put up guarantee of $3.50 to
get train As Oskaloosa and New

Newton had the county fair on the

did not feel like putting up the guar

PAPER OVER TO ATTORNEY

Bismarck, N. D., May 12.-For some
time the Bismarck Times has had more
than its share Of ups and downs, and
there have been all kinds Of rumors
as to the possible final outcome of the
many CREATIONS.
During the last few days there has
beer a rumor current to the effect
that the Times has been taken over
by the Dakota Printing and Stationery
Company, that later it was to become
a daily, and was to espouse the insur-
gent cause. This, however, seems to
have been proven erroneous, for the
time being at least.
Mr.. Opdyke, in conversation with a
Tribune representative last evening,
stated that he had turned the paper
and the plant over to Attorney W. L.
Smith who will act in the capacity Of
trustee and who will endeavor to set
tie the several matters in which the

FFLYER FROM SUPERIOR WILL
COME DIRECT TO THIS CITY
ANOTHER FROM FARGO.

\ fast merchandise freight ssrs;,e
from the head Of the lakes to Devils
lake direct, has been installed over
the Great Northern which is indeed
big thing for this city, since freight
can be received here as quick as at
Grand Forks, where transfer has for
merly been made thus delaying the
freight to this city.
In conjunction with this important
change comes the news of the over
night freight service from Fargo,
wn,,:h means that freight loaded at
Fargo today will reach here at IL
clock tomorrow. Fargo freight has
also i"er transferred 1T the Forks hero
tofore.
The service from Superior is what
is termed the thirty eight hour service
and since the rate to the head of the
Lakes by boat is less, naturally the
freight arriving from Superior will be
here just as quick as the round about
way by rail requiring transfers at sew
eral places. The loss in time by boat
is fully made up in the Great Northern
freight flyer direct to Devils Lake.
