A Fatal Jump.

Last night singular accident occurred
to passenger on train number three
near Apple Creek, just this side Of Bis
marck. An old gentleman named D. N.
Egbert, from Bedford. Ohio, was west
bound accompanied by his wife, an old
lady, to Billings, Mont, where married
daughter resides. Nj. Egbert had shown
decided evidences of insanity while on
the journey, his trouble beginning soon
after leaving home. 1t is stated that it
was with difficulty that he has been kept
from jumping from the moving
train several times. Last night,
however, he succeeded in doing so. The
passengers in the tourist car were asleep
at the time and it was not until the train
had reached Bismarck that he was
missed, when his wife gave the alarm to
the train men. The section men were
notified and after a search Of about four
hours found the old gentleman's body
in Apple creek. He was dead and ap.
parently had drowned. 1t is not known
whether he jumped into the creek from
the car or not. The train runs at high
rate Of speed at this point. It is possible
that he might have wandered around
and fallen into the stream after escaping
from the train.

Heavy Rains.

The faces of the railroad people as
we'll as of everybody else wore broad
smiles Friday over the big rains reported
all over the state. Superintendent Will
son kept getting reports from agents
from every station on the division an
nouncing the fall of abundant rain. At
no time since seeding has 80 heavy
general rain fallen as Thursday and Fri
day. Crops everywhere are greatly
helped and the promise of yield is
bright where few days ago it was
gloomy enough Mr.. Wilson says that
from Minnewaukan to Oakes and from
Bismarck to Fargo, the reports all bring
news Of abundant rains. This will doubt
less have the effect OF continuing pro-
iected road work, and the spending Of a
good deal of money in improvements
which might have been withheld had
not the crop prospect been improved.

Inflated Values.

j. w. Hunt, owner of the block on
Fifth avenue that bears his name is
making jamestown short visit. He
says that times are hard all over the
country but that jamestown and North
Dakota seem in as good, it not better,
condition than other towns and states in
agricultural regions. Speaking Of the
shrinkage IN values M. Hunt said:
FIFTY thousand dollars will not cover

RAlLR0ADERS PICNIC.

Icy City.

Peritonitis.
Some Important Laws Which
Went Into Effect Satur-
day, July l.

The tenth annual picnic Of the EN-.
ployes Of the Dakota division OF the
Northern Pacific was held at Valley City
Monday Beautiful weather with q bright
sun and gentle breeze in the morning,
favored the pioneers and gave promise
OF q very pleasant occasion. The at.
tendance was fully as large, if not larger,
than in previous years, the special train
from jamestown alone taking five
crowded coaches to the scene OF festivlty.
The passengers were merry lot, and
comprised about all the railroad men
who were able to 60, as we'll as their
wives, sweethearts, children and friends.
A baggage car was completely filled with
baby carriages and lunch baskets, the
former being about equally numerous
with the latter. In the five coaches the
ladies were able to find seats, but the
balance OF the throng soon discovered
standing room to be at premium. On
the rear of the train, a caboose made
space for the remnant Of the crowd,
and gave Conductor Marion Nashold a
chance to oversee the excursion-his
services being voluntary, as were the
services OF the brakemen, baggagemen,
engineer and fireman. The company
gives the use Of its rolling stock for these
annual outings, but expects the en-
ployes to furnish the necessary crews.
Engine No. l95, resplendent in red,
white and blue bunting, flags, evergreens,
and smokstack painted red, pulled the
excursion party from the city. Engineer
Geo. Burgett was at the throttle, and
Ernest Reed occupied the other side of the
cab. They pulled out Of the jamestown
yards at 8:45, few minutes after the
arrival Of the regular Pacific express.
The special returned that night at late
hour. The running time was not ex-
pected to be fast, as safety was regarded
as more essential shan speed, and ample
time would be had at Valley City to
enjoy the days sports.
Among the features of the picnic we're
races, athletic sports, boating and q
dance. Valley City was in holiday attire
and gave the guests royal welcome.

A SAD AFFAIR.
Death OF Mrs. Geo. T.. Gray After a
Very Short sickness.

|
Very short Sickness.
The people Of jamestown were shocked
Saturday evening to learn Of the sudden
and unexpected death OF Mrs. Geo. G.
Gray, at the farm residence OF her father,
Mr.. Ball, at Spiritwood lake. Mrs. Gray
was taken i'll early Friday morning,
describing the symptoms Of her sickness
as pain in the side, and recurrence OF
an old trouble felt several years before.
She kept growing worse, and a messenger
was dispatched to this city for ply
sician. During the day Friday she
showed signs of increasing illness,
despite of all home remedies. It was
not until Friday evening at 7 o'clock
that medical assistance could reach her.
DR.. Wink, the physician called IN the
case, hastened to the sufferers assistance
as soon as possible and remained with
her all night, doing whatever could be
done to stay the rapid advances of the
dread disease, which is said to be peri.
tonitis, an inflammation OF the membra-
neous lining of the abdomen. The patient
seemed to rally Saturday morning, but
her breathing began soon after to get
more difficult, and at 1926 p. m. she ex-
pired, having retained consciousness al
most until the last moment. Distance
from the city rendered prompter medi.
cal attention impossible.
Her death is sad blow to the hus-
band, parents, relatives and her hosts of
friends. by whom she was generally
beloved. Mr.. Gray has not been able to
learn of the great misfortune, as 1t has
been impossible to reach him by tele.
graph, owing to no certain knowledge Of
his address. A message came from
Petersburg, W. Va, stating that tele-
gram had been delivered, but in the
absence Of q direct reply, It is believed
that Mr.. Gray is out of that city tempor-
arily, as letter received today stated he
woul6 be. Word is expected from him
any hour.
Mrs. Gray, formerly Eva NJ. Ball, was
born Sept. 13, 1866, at Fremont, o. She
was married about years ago to George
@. Gray, brother Of John T. and Lewis
Gray. She leaves three small children,
twin boys aged 4 years, and a
baby Of Is months. For the last two
years she hes resided in Pittsburg, Pa,

UNCERTAINTY ADDED.
Complications Arising From the
India Currency Change.

Complications Arising From the
India Currency Change.
Speaking of the English governments
action in preventing free silver coinage
in India, ex-senator Casey says that it
adds another element of uncertainty to
the situation. He could not venture an
opinion as to what congress would now
do, but he believes that the western
silver men will organize more vigorously
than ever to protect their mining pro-
perties.
Mr.. Casey thinks that in the interest
of bi-metalism, work was begun at the
wrong end. II, instead of assuming the
enormous task Of taking the burden of
practically all silver coinage, the United
States while announcing its belief in and
desire for general bi-metallsm had
declared it's purpose to MAINTAIN money
standard equal to any in the CONNER
cial world, and its purpose, il necessary,
to use Its unquestioned credit backed by
its unequalled resources to draw the
gold OF the world to our own vaults and
keep it there until the great nations
should consent to l-metalism-that we
instead of Austria and other nations
would have absorbed the gold-and that
then the nations would have come to US
and asked for bi-metalism as a relief for
their own necessities. Instead
of such a policy We undertook
to relieve them IN advance,
leaving gold to flow out almost by the
force of its own gravity-with CORE
spending discredit. The fact that gold
commenced to 60 melted holders of our
securities to send them in for redemption
many holders feeling it might be too
late by and by. 1t has been very much
like run on bank, and on magnlfed
scale produced parallel results-distress-
ing every industry and all the people of
one country.
India occupies a peculiar position IN
Its influence on the financial policy of
other counties. India has long boarded
gold. It is estimated that during the
last 30 years, 50O,0OO,OO0 OF gold has dis
appeared in It's tremendous nav. Gold
is freely used by the princes and high
class natives as ornaments, and in other
ways besides money. Great quantities
of gold and silver are yearly swallowed
up in India for products which are ex-
ported, and for which little is bought in
return. India's cheap labor is poorly
paid and its needs for support are few.
This labor is constantly adding TO the
wealth of that country. On this account
there is no telling what proportion of
the gold coins of the world is stored
away in the possession of the 25o,CO00OO
inhabitants of India, and what will be
the effect of sudden and radical change
in the monetary system OF such a factor.

Sheep RAISING.

Hon. j. H. Worst OF Emmons county,
spent Saturday in jamestown en-
route to Monango, where he gave the
Fourth of July an appropriate send off.
Mr.. Worst is strong advocate Of sheep
raising IN North Dakota and believes
that 1t will be q most profitable industry
when fully understood and with few
years more of experience. He owns small
band Of sheep, some $50 in all, and his
experience the last two years is worth
relating. He said:
"The greatest difficulty in raising
sheep is to bring them through the win
ter. My ranch is situated where can
get plenty Of slough hay and have also
found it desirable to get as much
prairie or upland hay as possible. Sheep
absolutely require dry shelter, stable
or shed, in the winter time and plenty of
feed. II they do not have both the loss
of lambs is bound to occur and the
profits 60 with them. The last two win
ters 1 have cared for my sheep by put.
ting them in dry barn with plenty of
straw on the floor. fed them little
wheat with hay, about half pound per
head, each day, and what hay they
wanted to eat. They prefer prairie or
upland hay to slough grass, but can be
starved down to eat slough grass very
readily and seem to get along on it. My
sheep came through the winter strong
and hearty and this spring out of IT'S
lambs have saved 165. A farmer in
our county who did not care as we'll for
his ewes had .:1,,s lamts dropped this
spring and from lack Of milk and
strength in the mothers, has been able
to save but 40. You can not stint sheep
in their feed and find it profitable. They
must have hay enough to eat every day.
"Wlld oats last year, and IN '84 also,
were very numerous in our part OF the
state. I do not know why they do not
grow as thick every year, but good
many sheep have been lost the past
season from wild oats. They work their
way into the pelt and by the time they
reach the hide the point Of tho oat
softens and the seed is turned upward,
sometimes, however, working clear
through the animal. The hide gets full
OF oats and eventually the animal dies.
I kept my sheep last year in a pasture
for 80 days. They got hungry but were
saved from the disastrous effects of wild
oats, which are seen for about three
weeks.
The price Of wool Is discouraging out
I honestly believe that wool can be
grown IN North Dakota and sold at ten
cents per pound at a profit.
II am raising some wheat and my corn
crop looks we'll. I have always had a
good corn crop in Emmons county. I
feed it to stock and to pigs. Pigs are
uncommonly high this year. paid
81 for two little five weeks old shoats
that several years ago I would have been
almost willing to have gwen away. I
will not sell wheat, it raise any, at the
present low prices and haul 1t thirty
miles. Shall feed it to stock first"
