CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS TAKES IN CANADA ATLANTIC Grand Trunk Pacific System Will In clude Other Line. Speoial to The Journal. Mr. Fryberger is receiving the loyal support of the business men and the labor interests of the district on account of his work in the legislature espe- cially on account of the new Railroad Gross Earnings Law, which he prepared and supported, and which will save millions of dollars to the taxpayers of Hen- nepin county within the next few years. He is also especially favored by laboring men, as well as by capital, on account of the fight that he made in their behalf against the convict labor sys- tem employed in the state penitentiary. Hisrfriends feel confident of his nom- ination and election to congress. _. Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 17.There is significance in the statement made here last night by Charles M. Hays, general manager of the Grand Trunk railway, who arrived from the Pacific coast, to the effect that the Canada Atlantic railway would be a part of the Grand Trunk-Pacific system. He would make no statement regarding the location of the Pacific coast terminus except to say that it would all depend on the re port of the surveyors as to the feasi bility of the various harbors now be ing looked into. NO WHOLESALE DISMISSALS Story that Many O. P. Conductors Will Be Discharged Pronounced a Fake. Special to The Journal. Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 17.L. L. Pel letier, chairman of the Order of Rail way Conductors, now meeting in the city, characterizes as a fake the story published in local _papers to the effect that 100 conductors on the Canadian Pacific railroad between Brandon and Vancouver are to be dismissed for de frauding the company of fares. He says: ''The dismissal of 100 men would have practically the same results as a r. I _1 adv. strike, and would almost tie up passen ger traffic in the weBt. "Of three releases on the Prince Albert branch, two were resignations and one was a genuine dismissal for cause. The conductor who is charged with carrying a baseball team free from town to town did so because the man ager, who got left at the station, had the tickets, which were duly turned over to the station agent who appraised him of it by wire. Two cases are in stanced on the Canadian Northern rail road, but both of these occurred two months ago, and both of the men have been reinstated." G. J. Bury, general superintendent of the central division, also says there is no truth in the story. LINE TO COLTON DONE Independent Road in South Dakota Ready to Operate. Special to The Journal.

PERE MARQUETTE'S DEAL Road Gets East-Bound Packing Move ments for Ten Years.

While this agreement runs for ten years It does not prevent rates from being low ered. The contract is now in force.

Dear SirReferring to my weekly advertisements of dwelling houses for sale, it is altogether reasonable that you should want the fullest information as to prices, terms and the conditions of sale. I, therefore, welcome your questions, and shall be glad to advise you in detail as to the things you want to know, if you will come and see me. It is difficult to do the subject justice in a letter. Suffice to say here that when you buy one of my houses you are not getting a pig in a poke. They were not built to sell, and there is no fresh paint and varnish to cover the defects and deceive the elect. Moreover, no responsible person will question the facts I am reiterating every week in the papers, and which you can verify for yourself. 1.

The wrestler's deft was looked upon very seriously by a majority of the sport ing men. The opinion is almost unani* mous that Jeffries would emerge the wln ner, should the contest be arranged. Jef fries' admirers say that he would be sura to land a knockout blow before Jenkins got close enough to get a hold. Some go so far as to say that even in a straight wrestling match the pugilist would win. "Many people may regard my challenge as a joke," said Jenkins yesterday, "but nevertheless I am sincere. I believe I can beat Jeftries The only way he could get) me would be by catching me with a knockout punch the first crack out of th box. If I escaped that blow and got to close quarters, he would have littla chance.
