500 AFTER G. N. ROAD

With the statement by a Minneapolis
paper that the 500 line has purchased
the Fairmont & Veblen railroad, run
ming from Paramount, n. D., to Veblen,
S. D., and south, and the persistent
rumors in many of the state papers
of the building of the Huron & North
eastern railroad from Huron to Fergus
Falls, it is the general belief that the
500 may have some connection with
the latter railroad, says a Watertown
dispatch.
In the proposed construction of the
line from Huron to Fergus Falls, some
see an attempt of the 500 to invade
the territory of the Great Northern in
South Dakota, Huron being the south.

"It's nice, but Pm sure | couldn't
manage it," exclaimed the lady-of-the-
house as the salesman showed her a
small electric fan suitable for the
home.
ooh, that's easy enough" laughed
the salesman.
Very deftly he attached the lead-cord
to the lamp socket by unscrewing the
lamp bulb and screwing in the fan
plug attached to the end of the cord.
"Now, you see," he continued, "all
that is necessary is to move this little
switch attached to the base of the
fan"
Instantly the fan set up it's cooling
breeze.
But they are so expensive" she pro-
tested.
The salesman laughed. at is not
expensive" he assured her. This
eight-inch fan sells for but $3.50 and
you must remember that with reason
able care it will last a lifetime. This
first cost of the fan is the largest item
of expense, because it consumes less
than a quarter of a cents worth OF u
rent an hour. 1t will keep the dining
room cool during the dinner hour for
small fraction of a cent"
The electric fan, being somewhat of
a new device, is little understood. For
years it was rarely ever seen in the
home, being considered an office and
store necessity. But now it is being
purchased for home use.
1t is not hard to understand the cleo
trio fan any child can attach it to the
electric socket and start it running.
The fan consists of three essential

drives it, the propeller fan which
moves the current Of. air and the
standard to support this mechanism.
The fans are also equipped with a
little device for regulating the speed,
which increases, or decreases, the
amount of air current, and a mechan-
ism for oscillating, or moving the fan
to and fro, so as to distribute the air
to all parts Of the room. The tiny
electric motor differs in no way from
the large electric motors of the same
type used to drive machinery in mills
and factories. 1t consists Of a rotat-
ing armature, turning in a magnetic
field, the shaft of which is extended
so that the fan blades can be fasten-
ed to 1t with a set screw. The fan
proper is merely a brass propeller,
consisting OF four to six curved blades,

instrumental in securing the defeat of Jones, the
harvester and zinz trust magnate nominated for
a position on the Federal Reserve Board In all
of these things, however, he has not acted in
factious opposition to the President but in the
exercise of what he deemed a proper spirit of
independence consonant with his position as SEN
ator. With a powerful newspaper under his
ownership and control he has been able to with
stand the pressure which compelled other Sena-
tors to yield.
The fact that he has shown independence,
however, has brought him under the ban of ad-

enters the contest with State and national pres

the President. Booth had canvassed
and rejected two modes OF procedure
before fixing on one that seemed to
promis best. The first had been to
spring upon the President as he sat
in his box at a performance at Ford's
Theater, and, a confederate having
turned of the gas in the theater. to
handcufr him and hurry him across
the stage and into a carriage before
chase could be made. Surrounded by
armed men, he was to be driven rap
idly into Maryland.
His next plan had been to seize the
President as he passed at night from
the White House across the grounds
to the old War Department building.

street, near the Potomac.
This house. surrounded by trees and
having q secret cellar, reached by a
trap door, was thought by Booth to
afford safe hiding place even for
such a captive as the President until
the Potomac could be crossed.
1t does not appear that either Of
these wild plans were entertained
long. Booth did not hire the mansion,
nor did he seek to seize Lincoln At
the theater, although he showed two
of his new associates the arrangement
of the stage and rear exits.
The plan finally adopted was to lay
