INSPECTION OF BAGGAGE.
4 Plan to Avoid Waking Night Travel
ers From Canada.


Washington City, Oct. THE treasury
department is trying to devise some plan
by which the passengers on night trains
over roads running through Canada from
one point in the United States TO another
may be saved the annoyance OF having
their hand baggage inspected by customs
officers at the point they re-enter United
States territory. Until recently passen-
gers for Detroit or other points West en-
tering Canada at Buffalo were furnished
a label which was attached TO their hand
baggage showing that the owner was
through passenger" which label passed
the baggage attendant at Detroit without
examination. But as this plan did not pre-
vent the passenger, with the aid of an ac-
complete, from putting .dutlable articles OF
great value into his handbag while in
Canadian territory and bringing them
duty free into the United States, 1t was
recently ordered that all baggage, except
such as had been checked and therefore
could not be tempered with en- route. be
examined at the point it re-entered Unit
ed States territory.
By this pan, however, IL is very fire.
cuently necessary to awaken passengers
in the middle OF the night TO produce their
baggage for examination, and ii is TO avoid
this annoyance thai the treasury officials
are now considering other plans. 1t is
quite probable that the result viii be the
placing OF a customs agent on all through
night trains or the addition OF a system
of sealing the fastenings Of the hand bag
gage. Some action in regard TO the matter
Will likely be taken very soon.

St. Paul, Oct. 7.-Brayton Ives. presi-
dent OF the Northern Pacific, passed

be a way out OF the difficulty through
the confirmation Of Receiver Burleigh by
Judge Sanborn. giving him jurisdiction
over the entire line with the exception OF
the Duluth & Ashland line, which would
be under the control of McHenry and
Bigelow.
Mr.. Ives added that In the end all the

VIII There Be n Car shortaoes

There is a difference Of opinion among
railroad men as to whether the crop Of
1895 will cause a car shortage in the North
west. The crop amounts TO $1,000, 900 bush
els. and a portion of 1t has been handled
without any great entertainment on the
lumber and shingie industries. The Great
Northern yesterday reported that It was
ahead of its orders. and was making
strenuous efforts to supply the demand.
No complaints on account of shortage
have been made at the Northern Pacific.

The Whv of II.

There is one man the printer
loves. That is the fellow who al
ways drops into the printing office
Just at the busiest hour and makes
himself unanimously welcome by
cracking a few old chestnuts with
whiskers on them like q billy goat.
Then he wakes confidential and
spreads himself all over the case,
tickles the printer nearly to death
by talking to him while the latter
is making frantic efforts to keep
his mind on the copy, He makes
himself useful and welcome by
tearing the wrappers off the exchang-
es, reading copy on the hooks and
whistles while he rests his face
And yet some people wonder why
printers are profane.

Reaching Dry Creek hill, which

hcuCHlHS Dly NIOOh hlAii WhAOh
is very steep, he undertook the
feat of coasting it. His bicycle
became uncomfortable. There was
q sharp turn in the road, the incline
steep. Beside the road was a
barbe wire fence and inside some
large boulders. Losing the power
to guide the machine, he was hurl-
ed against the fence, and with the
bicycle was thrown inside the en-
closure, striking on large stone.
His head crushed, unable to move
the unfortunate young man lay for
three hours, with no help near.
Joe Ell and Baer came along and
found him covered with dust and
blood and unable to tell his name.
He was absolutely unrecognizable.
He was put in wagon, M. Wells,
a byother of T. B. Wells, of Pend
Teton assisting Max Baer on the
trip to Milton to make the ride as
easy as possible for the wounded
man, Joe Ell riding ahead to Mil
ton for a physician. Soon the inn
provised ambulance arrived and an
examination was had, The skull
was fractured and two pieces re-
moved, and improvement began in
the patients condition,
The accident happened, accord
ing to VanHorne's story, by the
bicycle coming in contact with a
rock in the middle Of the road.
The wheel was DETECTED from its
course, ran toward the fence, the
rider was thrown against the fence,
struck on the wire with bis nose
and the post with his body, and
shot on over, alighting on his head
on large boulder about Is feet
from the fence-post first hit. The
wheel followed him inside the en-
closure and strangely was not brok-
en-, only the handle bars being
bent. VaHorne was picked up be-
side the rock, which was covered
with blood and showed plainly just
where he had struck it. The force
of the blow his body gave against
the fence-post may be judged by
the fact that the post was freshly
broken off near the ground.
