At last the efforts Of the railroad
employees in this city to secure q club
where they can spend part of their
time while not on the road, seems
about to be realized.
Ever since the advent Of the Glen
we slEimming Club, the railroad
boys have had in mind an organization
which would enable them to get all
the literary as we'll as athletic pleas
ures which such organizations as the
Y. NJ. C. A. affords its members. and
to that end will meet in a few days
to perfect such an organization.
Conductor A. r. Anderson is said
to be behind the movement. 1t is plan
ned to collect dues by the deduction
Of same each month from the pay
checks, the same as is now done with
the Hospital Association.
It has been suggested that the new
organisation, II it's present plans are
perfected, lease the present quarters
of the Dawson County Club in the
Helms & Volkert building, which will
be vacated as soon as the Clubs new
rooms in the Leonard Building are
completed.
The Monitor hopes that it will be
enabled to print next week, the well

A most important announcement,
and one that will be received with the
utmost satisfaction by every resident.

majority of those on this side Of the
track, was made Tuesday night by
Mayor Thomas F. Hagan when he told
the Monitor that the local Office Of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
had just received, and have on hand
for immediate use, the sum of $4,000
for the new 16 foot wide subway for

CONGRESSMAN TOM STOUT's
SON TO BE OPERATED UPON

Word comes from Washington to the
effect that Congressman Tom 8todtss
little son was taken to Chicago laSk
week where he is expected to underc
go an operation for infantile paralysis
any day.
On account of the attachment which
the congressman ID known to have
for the little fellow, We are sure that
all of his friends join with us in pray
ing for the speedy recocery Of the boy,
who on account Of the urgency Of the
legislation before congress since the
opening Of the session, has been depriv-
ed of SO much of his fathers company.
