There was no prospect of a settle ment of the New London freight handlers strike of the Central Yer mont railway Monday. The strikers are determined to hold out for an in crease in wages and the company is equally determined not to grant the demand.

RESOLUTIONS OF REsPECT

At meeting of Directors of The Dime Savings. Bank, held this day, the following minute was unanimo ously adopted:
 We have learned with great sorrow Cf the death Of our fellow Director Vine s Stetson, who had been con neCted with this bank for nearly twenty years.
 While, his health had prevented hin from attending the meetings regularly for several years. he was always ready y and willing, to give his best services to the bank; and his long, practical experience in building matters made his advice most valuable.
 A veteran soldier, and always deeply interested in public affairs, the conn munity has lost a patriot and one of it's best citizens: and his personal to his associates that they feel they have lost a true friend.

Open Cars on G. 6 s.

The popular demand for open cars on the Groton J Stonington line is to be met by the new general manager, w. c. CalIaghan.
 Work is to be at once commenced on rebuilding the cars. Vestibules will be put on at each end, the entire car walled in with wire netting and an aisle cut through the middle.
 Under the present method of col 1ecting the fares it would be impossi- bIe for the conductors to manage on an open car. but with the prospective changes the conductors are delighted and the public is pleased.
 It is expected that some of the cars will be on the line in a week or ten days and the others twill be put on as rapidly as they can be rebuilt.

Rev. MT. Smiths parish is the size of our state of Connecticut and as it is the custom in China to make presents to every friend going away on a long journey, he had many beau tiful pieces of lacquer work and en- brodieries which were exquisite ex- annples of Chinese art and much ad- mired. His explanations of the sig niffcance of the designs used and de- scription of his work in Foo Chow were also most interesting.

is MtNOT DEAD?

In the latest Sears-Roebuck catalog,
In the grave stone department., may be
found picture of slab with the
word "Minot" engraved thereon. We
take exceptions with our friends
the Shears-Sawbuck people. Minot Is
not dead, neither is she sleeping. We
will admit that our city may be dead
to the great catalog house, our people
generally speaking patronize our wor-
thy local business houses and don't
have much use for mail order con-
Germs. Our millionaire mail order
friends would find that Minot is &
pretty lively corpse if they'd take the
trouble to investigate. We suggest
that they revise their catalog at the
earliest possible moment and place in
their graveyard department the names
OF Devils Lake, Bismarck or Valley
City, instead of up-and-a-coming Mi
not.-Minot Independent.
And in another column Of the same
issue the Independent tells about D.
H. Mcmillan, H. Winterer and C. F..
Mudgett, all of Valley City, resurrect-
ing their briquetting plant and starr.
ing operations after it had been slum-
bering for year. If there is any other
part of your civic anatomy that Bill
Holbein cannot tinker up, let us
know, Mr.. Minot Independent, and we
will send you an expert.

NONPARTISAN SELECTIONS

The Nonpartisan league convention
made it's selections for the legislature
Tuesday. In Barnes county the three
men who we're selected as standard
bearers are all good men who have
their interests in the county where
they live and should strive first and
last for the welfare of their districts
and constituents.
The bone of contention seems to be
whether the members of the league
will stick and vote for the nominees
of the convention, or whether they will
break away at election time and by so
doing split the league up the back.
A solid phalanx of league votes
would no doubt be a formidable task
for other candidates to overcome, and
evidently this feature OF the campaign
will largely determine the results.

kNUTE MEL SON, AMERICAN

Duluth Herald: In the shameful con-
troversy that has lately disgraced the
congress of the United States, Mime
sofa had the humiliating experience Of
seeing eleven of her twelve senators
and representatives voting squarely
against American honor-voting for a
contemplate abandonment of Amer1-
can rights and a sacrifice Of Americas
right to the worlds respect.
One member of Minnesota's delega,
ton, in both branches of congress, and
one member only, voted for America.
1t was left to him to uphold Ameri-
cas- dignity and Minnesota's honor, and
to him alone; and right valiantly,
though alone, did he hold aloft the
torch of honor and self-respect.
All honor to Senator Knute Nelson,
