The face at once attracts attention, for in
it are combined exquisite devotion, intense
suffering, agony, resignation. The features
are delicate, nostrils thin, mouth delicate
and expressive, eyes u%pturned, all showing
how much such a sensitive nature could have
suffered. The colors of the picture are most
exquisitely blended, the ivory white of the
neck, the pinkish tint of the cheeks, darker
tints of the nostrils and lips, the peculiar
pallor which may be seen upon the fore
head. about the mouth and neck, contrast

ture has all the softness and delicacy of an
ivory painting, and yet all the force and
distinctness of Il canvas painting.

Floods in Emmons County

Miss Jessamine Slaughter writes home
some interesting accounts of the floods
in Emmons county, occasioned by the
overflow of the two creeks, Sand and
Beaver, near Winchester. She says:
"When We got to the creek we found
that the bridge on which we had crossed
the evening before had been washed
away, so we made a raft of some of the
timbers that were left. But when it was
done they would not let the children
cross on it, as they thought it too danger.
GUS, and they tried to disuade me from
trying to cross, but Ihad missed one day
during the blizzard in February and was
determined to get to school if I could,
so I stepped on the raft but I could not
manage it at all. 1t sunk a little at first,
then it whirled and swirled, and I just
shut my eyes and held my breath, and
the next moment I was swept against
the other side and got out safely. There
was a boy there with a horse and he let
me ride, so I got to school in time
after all"
In a later letter she says: "There has
been the worst flood here that ever was
known in this country the people say.
This whole valley was o~veraowed.
Where I was boarding the water rose
from the creek and came into the house,
and we all had to get up at 2 o'clock in
the morning and ges out in a hurry. I
tell you it was exciting when the water
came splashing in at the door. We had
to climb on chairs to the wagon, with
the water up to the wagon box. For
more than Il mile we drove through a
vast lakeland rs we had to drive be-
tween the two creeks and couldn't tell
where the creeks were on account of the
prairie being all covered with water
were fearful every moment Of being en-
quilted. tell you we had exciting times,
but tho water has gone down now, and
we are getting our mails again." ,ss.

CARTHAGE, Ills, March 2S.-A famous
painting has been discovered among a num-
Der of other curious and valuable relics in
the possession of the Maillard family at
Avon in Fulton county, Ills. This painting,
of which the illustration herewith shown is
a Photographic copy, is that of the head Of
Christ and is called the "Ecce Homo" This
rare work of art is by Raphael. There
seems to be little doubt of it, as we'll
known art critics who have examined the
painting, which is only 6 by 6 inches in size,
say that no modern painter could execute
such work.
The portrait itself shows great age, and,
as indicated by the Photographic copy, has
been somewhat creased by wear possibly.
The portrait was presented to a French
lady, Nine. Gabriel Gallet, by King Joseph
Bonaparte in the year 1908. Bonaparte was

All OF which were referred with the
exception of the water bill, which was
allowed.
Alderman Reed brought up the sub.
ject of the dumping of manure outside
the dumping grounds, and the mayor
was instructed to look into the matter.
The damage claim of Mrs. Tatley was
on motion taken from the table, and
after considerable discussion the mayor
appointed Aldermen Robidou, Mcdonald
and H. L. Reade to examine the build
ing which it is claimed was damaged and
report as to their opinion of the amount.
The council then adjourned to next
Monday night.

A republican senator who stands high
in the party councils said to-day that the
proposed senatorial Investigations of
private characters and the reorganiza-

session, says the Washington Star. They
could not be considered while the on
tested seats are under discussion, and
when that subject is disposed of the
senate will probably adjourn, as a
quorum would otherwise disappear
within two days after the president
notifies the body that he has no further
business to present to it.

rar Lumber company, near the rail-
ID track, by Geo. Needhan, au en-
ovs of the company. An alarm was at
% piyen, and the ever vigilant hose
mpapy was soon upon the scene, and
Ter a slight delay on account of defect
water connections, had three streams
syiug upon the blaze. A brisk wind
been blowing, however, and the fire
d attained quite a Roadway in the
NTH end of the barn, before the depart
eut arrived, and as the upper part of
barn Was filled with hay and other
aammable material, it was with diff
,lty that the flames we're checked. The
NTH wing of the barn was quite badly
suaged before the flames we're gotten
bder control, but the fire laddies sue
eded IN saving the north wing and the
eater part of the barn.
The fire is supposed to have caught

ne, as there we're fires in the grass
ong the track from the same cause.
We horses were in the barn at the time
e fire started, and four of them were
bttsn out IN safety. The fifth had been
jured, and was in a sling, clear Of the

ames. The loss is estimated by Mana.

mOnia Baking Powders.

again Looking After the Alum and Am.
monia Baking Powders.
81. Raul Pioneer Press: A bill fer an
not in relation to tho manufacturer and
sale of baking powders. to prevent fraud
aud preserve the public health has been
introduced in the Legislature at St. Paul.
The bill is intended to prevent the
adulteratlon of baking powders with
Alum and Ammonia, imposing proper
penalties to enforce the law, etc.
This shows an earnest desire on the
part OF our State representatives to pro-
tect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune. referring to the
question Of legislation un Alum and
Ammonia baking powders, says: 1T
deals in a direct manner with an evil
that must be cut down."
Dr. Chas. w. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Dairy and Fool Com
mission, in his elaborate report of 1892
gives a list Of n hundred and seventy
three different brands of Alum baking
powders alone--sold in Minnesota.
Following is a list Of the more widely
known brands that DR.. Drew, as we'll
as other chemists of high standing, have
examined and found to contain Alum,
and some of which contain both Alum
and Ammonia. Many of the Alum and
Ammonia powders are labeled and adj.
vertlsed as absolutely pure" to mislead
the public.
Calumet" "Forest City," "Grant's
Bon Bon," "Hotel," "Globe," "Puritan,"
"Snow Ball." "Government," Palace"
loyal" Columbia" "Home," "Mon-
arch,' "Unrivaled," "Chicago Yeast"
"Echo," "Zirp's Crystal" "Perfection,"
"Wh,te Rose," "Ha Chef" "Crown."
In addition to above list, there is a
multitude of brands sold with a prize.
1t is safe to reject all baking powders
sold with a prize as the tests show they
are composed largely of Alum and cost
but a few cents a pound. Also refuse
any baking powder sold for twenty five
cents a pound, or less; it Is sure to n
tain Alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapness
could induce the public to experiment
with these impure pc 9ders at the risk
Of health. Aside from the question Of
the health or wholesomeness of the con.
demned powers, and viewed from this
standpoint of economy. alone, a pure
cream of tartar baking powder like DR..
Prices from its greater known strength
and upquestioned purity will prove
more economical to the user in every
way.

ure, and the watcher was impressed with
something of that strange desire which
leads to so many suicides at N~iagara-to
precipitate himself into the midst of the
torrent, and take his chances with the
ice cakes.
At the bridge, especially, was the
sight fascinating. There was an almost
continuous roar, as the masseso of ice we're
forced against the sharp nose of the
piers, rose up at times ten feet against
the side and then broke into pieces and
passed on down stream. Ice cakes
piled upon each other at these points,
and then were forced into the whirl-
pools about the piers with a splash and
roar which were ~deafening; trees and
snags we're crushed End shivered in the
grinding Of the ice cakes like eggshells;
now and again some huge cake arose on
it's side and protruded several feet above
the waters surface. And then it was
broken to fragments and resumed it's
usual level.
At 6 o'clock last evening the ice was
still running swiftly, although in not SO
great quantity as in the morning. The
gaeater amount passes between the
second and third piers of the bridge
from the Bismarck side.
NOTES
Jerry Plants says he never saw the
water so high as at noon yesterday, and
isn't at all anxious to see it any higher.
Ed Sloan ~pronounces it the prettiest
flow of ice he yer saw, and regrets II

the document had been read, the sus-

the passage of the ordinance when it

which was read was that of the resolu.
ton to build a sidewalk on the north
side of Rosser street from First to Man.
dan The reason for this, as as
signed by the mayor, was because an
insufficient number of property holders
had signed the petition. This veto was
also sustained, and still another was
read, that of the resolution ordering the
construction of a crossing on First
street, across Rosser. This was vetoed
because Of the rather straitened tinan.

in the opinion of the mayor, it would

Going cut Freely.

Contrary to general expectations the
ice in the Missouri is running out
gradually, and to all appearances I'M
obetructedly. For nine hours Tuesday
morning the ice aoated by from above,
and yesterday afternoon the river from a
considerable distance above the bridge
down the river as far as the eye could
see, was a smooth surface of running
water aud altogether clear of ice. Above
the bridge there seems to be a gorge,
and ice can be seer piled to a consider
able height. As yet there have been no
evidence of a gorge at Sibley island and
the breakup will, from present appear
ances, be an u%neventful one, and not &C.
companied by the expected flood.

The n. p. Tax Cases.
Fargo Forum: Chief Justice Fuller,
of the supreme court has rendered a de-
cision in the Northern Pacific tax cases
to the effect that the amounts involved
are not sufficient to give the circuit court
jurisdiction.
Speaking of the matter Attorney Ball
said: "The counties involved are
Barnes, Oliver, Kidder, Stutsman, La
Moure, Richland, Mercer, Logan, Nc.
Lean, Foster, Wells and Griggs. An &C.
ton of injunction was commenced in the
United States circuit court by the com
pany to restrain the county auditors
from collecting taxes upon place lands,
or lands within the forty-mile belt. The
injunction was not granted. The COM
pany demurred to the defense of the
counties and appeal was taken to the
circuit court OF appeals November 2,
1891, and tried before Judges Caldwell
and Thomas. The cases were then Ger.
tilted to the United States supreme
court.
"By Justice Fuller's decision the cases
are suspended until such time as the
circuit court is enabled to obtain juris,
diction by the increase of the amount Of
taxes in each county. He held that the
aggregate amount in the counties men.
toned cannot give the circuit court
jurisdiction, but that each county must
claim taxes amounting to $4,000 before
it a legally be q party to the action. ]
