Princeton has many advantages over
other towns butsone which. coun is most
is it's freight rate Goods from the
east can be bought to be delivered in
Princeton as cheap as they can be de-
livered in st. Paul and Minneapolis.
This is one reason why Princeton can
duplicate Minneapolis prices on nails,
etc., and do it profitably, too. Towns
off the Duluth lines cannot compete
with us there.

Their Anxiety Availeth Nothing.

The Democratic and Populists papers
of the district are very anxious to get
the Republicans to nominate some one
aside from Page Morris for congress-.
Why are they so anxious? Because
they know that they cannot defeat
him; that the record he has made in
congress is satisfactory to the people,
and that the district was never so ably
represented as by him. No, gentle
men, you can depend upon it that the
people will demand Mr.. Morris renom-
ination and election.-Barnu,n Gazette.

Drunken stup0r.
Great Falls. March 20.-There ap-
peared in the police court yesterday a
nan who will have to get some n to
act as guardian for him niles he is
willing to take all sorts of chances.
His name is Pat Carl. n he was
picked up on the street by Officer An
derson when in a drunken stupor n
taken to the station. After he had re-
manned there for a time he came to.
and it was discovered that he was a
cowpuncher from the vicinity of Luz
ellie. Over a week ago he borrowed a
horse and saddle from the ranch of
Turner Bros. of that place for the pur-
pose Of looking up his own horse.
which. he claimed. had broker away
from him. He must have Travelled a
long distance in h pursuit, for the
first thing he knew after that was
when he found himself sleeping of the
effects of a drunken spree in the city
Jail. He had fallen from his horse and
mashed up the side of his face and was
generally in bad shape. He left this
morning to return the borrowed horse
and to explain matters as far as he
COULD.

SHADOW or FORMER GLORY.
athletic Sight of John ). Ingalls, In thu

Pathetic Sieh Of John ). Ingalls, In the
senate Chamber.
Washington Correspondence of Boston
Journal.
John ]. ingalls, was a spectator yes
terday of the proceedings of the senate
during the debate on the Teller resolu-
ton. He came unnoticed and sat on a
divan i'm the rear of the senate almost
alone. Once in a while some senator
would pass by. Exchange a casual greet
ing, and go on to the cloakroom. Fol a
time Baker. the republican from KAN
sas. sat by his side. apparently taking
pity on his loneliness. but that was all.
No one would have imagined hat the
nan who sat thus isolated had been in
his day the most spectacular figure on
the floor where he now appeared as a
visitor. His slender form. clad in black.
the ramrod like erectness of his car
riage, the fascinatingly ugly face, brim-
ming with intelligence topped by
iron-gray hair. marked him for the
sightseers in the galleries. but the ex-
perience must have been a painful one
for him.
A few years ago the announcement
that ingalls, was to speak would have
filled the galleries to the bursting point.
His orations made gala days at the
capitol. They were skilfully adver-
tised in advance, and speaking. as he
did. only twice or thrice in a session,
they drew around him all the mystery
and fascination of a dramatic star.
Those were the days when Ingalls, was
easily the most conspicuous member of
the senate for the time at least. He
was president pro tenn. and tradition
has IL that he presided with a precis-
ion and dignity and grace unknown be-
fore his day. Now he is "A statesman
-. saI - he has raNnrtn1 nFf1a
fight. and those who honored him once
regard him no more.
In spite of everything. Ingalls, still
hopes TO come back to the senate.

LOCKED IN A SULPHUR ROOM.
Imprisoned for Four Hours n Man Dies
of His Injuries.

Imprisoned for Four Hours a Man Dies
of His Injuries.
From the London Mail.
Edgar Allen Poe's description Of the
sufferings of a person under the effects
of slow suffocation has been verified to
some extent by an incident which has
just been inquired into at the Leeds
City c~oroner's court. A blanket stover,
named Pickard. employed by a local
firm of manufacturers, had himself
locked into a sulphur room, n lighted
the stoves in the belief that he could
leave by another door, which was usu-
ally open
No sooner had he done so than he re-
membered that this door had been
locked on the outside earlier in the day
by his own order. The man who la
shut him in was deaf. and had gone
away disregarding his knock n
cries: and he was thereupon overcome
by panic. He could easily have extin-
guished the sulphur stoves, and might
have remained in the room without
danger till relieved, but such was the
state of his mind that instead of doing
so he still spent his time in endeavoring
to attract attention.
The sulphur fumes soon filed the
place. but even then 1t did not occur to
him that he could put out the stoves by
ltdii WI oit VI ~ III Wv
room. He next tried TO reach an aper-
allure above the door by means of a
rope and a plank. blu ii was only a
small one. about four inches or six
inches in width, and was covered on
the outside by a strip of wood.
Then he became quite exhausted. and
fell against one of the doors, which had
resisted his utmost strength. There was
air enough coming in beneath the sill
to keep him alive and conscious; and
in that plight. expecting death and
clinging to life. he lay for four hours.
In the end his whereabouts was discov-
cred by his son and a Waterman.
Pickard could see the flicker of the
watchman's lamp under the door. and
knocking with the little strength re-
naming to him. was released. He died.
however, eleven days later as the re-
suit of sulphur poisoning.
1t is related that after being released
from his terrible imprisonment he re-
membered he had not lighted the
stoves in the other clearinghouse
and actually went into each of them
and completed his days work.

with almost Incredible rapidity among
the narrow-minded natives OF Russia.
A short time & the bodies Of three
workmen-good. honest. law-abiding
peasants-were discovered by the police
in a deep well near Palmero. The most
stringent Investigations brought to light
no cause for the murders. The police
at length arrived at the conclusion that
the men had been murdered solely for
the reason that they were well know as
honst laborers. who feared the police
and loved their car.
This set the minds of the astute st.

COSTUME OF POSTAGE STAMPS.
Miss warIiix Uses 20. 900 stamps and Wins
the First Prize.

A Baltimore girl. Miss Antoinette
Warlitz. captured first prize at the
Harmonic masked ball last week with
a costume made of 0.000 postage
stamps. Five weeks were spent in
stamp collecting and three in making
the dress, the foundation of which was
muslin. Miss Warlitz appealed to her
friends to help her and her dress was
completely covered with stamps OF all
nations.
In the center of the front breadth
was an eagle made of brown Columbian
stamps. Suspended from h taions
was a globe made OF very old two-cent
blu revenue stamps. the meridians be-
ing outlined by the narrow title borders
cut from Columbian stamps. on either
side the globe was an American nag
the stripes of blue one-cent stamps and
red two-cent stamps. the stars OF the
blue stamps. The foreign stamps were
pasted ON the bodice In the form OF a
shield, the center of which was made
up OF portraits of Washington cut from
revenu stamps.
A large leghorn hat covered entirely
with red n blue stamps was worn
with the COSTUME. and a pink mask and
a round fan covered with red stamps
was carried. Over the hould was
lung a tiny red mai box. The whole
effect was singularly striking, and the
Judges were unanimous in giving the
postage stamp girl the prize.

DRYING DAMP WHEAT.
New Process for Extracting Moisture
From Grain Under n Vacuum.
From the London Times.

New Process for Extracting Moisture
From Grain Under n Vacuum.
From the London Times.
A new process for artificially extract
ing moisture from wheat was put TO a
careful test in Berlin recently. The
trial was carried out at the instance Of
Mr.. Yerburgh, NJ. p, who sent over 80
quarters of English wheat to be sub
mitted to the process. The result was
entirely satisfactory. over s per cent
of moisture being taken from the wheat
which was a very dry sample in ex-
cellent condition-while the heat to
which is was subjected could not posi-
bly, affect IL in~juriously.
The principle of the process-viz.,
that of drying under a vacuum-has
been applied to many articles of COM
merce. and the result of this trial is TO
show that IL is equally well adapted To
wheat. II is hardly necessary to point
out that the subject is one of great in
terest to British farmers. who would be
greatly benefited by the provision OF
facilities for getting their wheat into
condition. particularly in a wet sea-
son.. The full details of the trial will
be laid before the agricultural commit
tee on corn stores.

It Il Proposed to Double the Capacity OF

Work for . Large Force
of Carpenters.

Great Falls, March 20.-In railway
circles it is stated that the Great North
ern is planning to make extensive i'm
provements on it's road during this
spring. Among other reports is one
which says that the steel between Butte
and Clancy is to be replaced by 10S-
pound rails and the two monster engines
recently bought by the road and which
caused SO much havoc on the light rails
will be placed there as ar experiment.
Then, IL the experiment is successful.
all of the road will be laid between
Butte and his city with heavy irons
and 10 of the big engines purchased to
take the place of lighter engines. The
rails here are mostly 5~6-pound. and it
vas this fact that caused the big en-
gines to be let down. Should the ex-
pertinent be successful it is likely to
cause a large %cut-down in the ex-
penses of the division. as the engines
will do the work of a very much larger
number Of smaller locomotives. They
are e~ight-wheeleIs. but are heavier
than the 10-wheelers. and as the salary
Of the fireman is proportioned to the
number of wheels on the engine he
fires. II will cost less to run one Of the
monsters than one of the call
hogs"
The company also proposes to double
the present capacity Of the wool ware
! house in this city, and hat will give en-
. ployment to a large number of carpen-
tiers for a short time at least. Last year
they underestimate the mount of wool
' to be brought to this market n so
delayed making any additions to the
warehouse. At the same time, the citi-
zens and the wool buyers worked to get
: as many clips here as possible, and the
= result was that for several weeks the
} force of men at the warehouse. which
swere as many as could be used to ad-
vantage, were piled up and could not
,dispose of the wool as fast as 1t was

: by rain through this source, and the
