LOOKS LIKE BUILDING Minnesota & International Calls for Deeds for The Right of Way. COVERING TERRITORY FROM NORTHOME TO RIPPLE. Action Indidates the Probability of Raiiroad Building This Spring. Yesterday settlers living along the survey of the Minnesota & International received deeds from the compavy with the re- quest for the signatures grant- ing the company right of way from Northome to-Ripple. About twelve months ago the company. asked the settlers what they de- maned for the land and the deeds all run according to the terms asked by the settlers at that time. This action on the part of the company is a strong indication that the road will be extended at least to Ripple this spring and summer. Two years ago when the road was built to Northome, work was commenced on it with- in 60 days from the date that the settlers received the deeds for signature granting the company the right of way. The survey calls for the build- ing of about 32 miles of road from Northome to Ripple and about the same distance from Ripple to Koochiching, Wedded Today.

Collars, collars for 5 cents at Schneider Bros. “The Heart of Maryland” was presented to a crowded house at the City Opera house last night and proved to be what was claimed for it—the best attrac- tion at the playhouse during the season. The company was made up of artists of renowned ability, and everything was carried on with an easiness of manner and action known only to those who have served their time as actors before criticising audiences. The play was written by David Belasco and the theme is similar to ““Old Kentucky,” “Way Down Fast” and -kindred attractions, but portrays with more vividness the characters produced. Miss Eulalia Bennett, as the heroine, Maryland Calvert, produced a marked impression upon the audience, and in the climaxes showed remarkable ability as an actress. Her fine stage presence together with her able interpre- tation of the play, won the sym- pathy of the audience at the very beginning and held it until the tinale. The character of Colonel Thorpe, the villian, was ably pre- sented by William F, Walcott and B.J. Murphy as the grave dig- ger appeared well. The com- pany includes many other notably popular artists, among whom are Arthur E. Sprague, Oscar Nor- fieet, John M. Stephens, Francis Charlton, Edwin L. Bennison, Robert McIntyre, Harold Salter, W. Arthur Jeffries, Florence Foster, Alice Fitch and Florence Rossland.
