BROKEN RAIL CAUSES
CANADIAN NORTHERN WRECK
Seven Cars Of Wheat oltehed at Poiat
Mile North Of Silver Mine Last Night:
Tying Up Traffic for Fifteen Hours.

A wheat train on the line Of the
Canadian Northern was wrecked at
a point about mile north of the
Silver mine, near what is common
ly known as Happy Hollow curve,
at $40 o'clock last evening, seven
cars of wheat being ditched and
tratfic on the line being tied up un-
til about 10 o'clock this morning. !.
The wreck is said to have been
caused by broken rail, and the
sight Of the many thousands of
bushels Of wheat piled in the ditch
miRh ht lead the "pluuger" to have
an idea that the spot would. be a
good place to start an elevator.
Aside from the freight tie up re-
suIting. from the wreck the Winni-
peg Flyer, due here at 10 O'Clock
last nj ght. was held here until III
this morning and the southbound
passenger due in Duluth at $50 this
morning did not reach the Zenith
City until the lunch hour.
No injuries resulted to members
of the train crew, although one of
the "brakies" had to make a leap
for life to escape the wreckage.

WILL MAKE EXTENSIVE
REPAIRS ON CHURCH EDIFICE

AT a meeting of the official board
of the First NJ. f. Church on Wed
nesday evening the condition of
the church edifice and the evident
need of extensive repairs to the
structure was the principal theme
of discussion, and it was definitely
decided to place the house of work
ship in proper shape again in the
near future.
The probable amount necessary
TO meet the demands is estimated
at $2nO0, and with view to raising
this amount among parishioners
and others interested in church
work committee Will seek funds
at an early date.
The church building, at the time
OF its erection, was one of the finest
church edifices on the range, and
while it presents a somewhat dilap.
idated appearance at this time
every effort will be made to again
place it in it's former position
among the houses of worship

LEGISLATURE ON the HOME STRETCH

Bnt fifteen days more of active
work confronts the Minnesota sol
ons, but they will be busy days in
making the necessary cleanup of
matters Of importance still before
the body. Among the chief meas
ures yet to come before the Assem-
blage for consideration and action
are the initiative and referend um
and the primary amendment bills,
but several hundred other measures
Of more or less worth or political
importance are still on the list of
unfinished business
Among the latter bunch is one of
the utmost importance to the
ranges-the county division bill,
which measure still hangs in the
balance. It's fate is matter of con.
lecture, but that it's passage may
be secured by united effort on the
part of certain members of the
houee and senate from this district
is the belief of many Virginians
swho have followed the trend of
public affairs.

WESTERN UNION SERVICE
OPENS next MONDAY

After years of waiting, petitioninp
and hoping, Virginia is a: last to b.
blessed with Western Union tele.
graph service, arrangements hav.
ing been completed for the opening
of temporary office in connection
with the Great Northern at the G n
depot on Monday, while a location
for permanent uptown Office is
being sought.
The installation Of the Western
Union service will be a matter of
rejoicing to Virginians in general
and the business element in partic.
ular, meaning a better service and
substantial reduction in rates. In
this latter connection the Twin City
rate will he cut from 30 to 30 cents
and the Chicago rate from IS to &c
cents.
The new office may be assured OF
a pleasing business from the date
of opening, and the prospectively
appreciated service could have en-.
joyed as pleasing business in the
interim had it been established tif
teen years ago.

An Unenviab1e Light

In an impassioned appeal before
the city council Tuesday evening
Hizzoner, Mayor Murphy, brought
TO the attention of his auditors the
arrest OF his brother, d. T. Murphy
ON Saturday, charging such arrest
was the result Of political animos-
!ty against himself and against the
city council as. a whole, alleging
the arrest but indicated the atti-
tude of certain element opposed
TO the great civic advances being
made by him.
The brother, d. L. Murphy, we'll
known resident for a number Of
years, was arrested upon complaint
Of Mark Eddy, local hveryman,
charged with having passed a
worthless check n the sum of $3.50
in payment of an account at his
stables. The case wss before the
court on Monday, but after a brief
hearing in the morning was ad-
journed until the afternoon, when
it was formally dismissed, settle
ment having been made in the
meantime.
We know not what motive may
have prompted Mr.. Eddy to at
tempt to collect an honest account
and we care less. 1t may have
been purely an attempt to discredit
the work of the mayor for. human
i'y, or it may have been because
he wanted his money; we have not
been enough interested to inquire,
because we consider it of minor
Importance to our readers. But WE
