They Are Finer Than Ever.

House-cleaning, in most homes, comes
but once year-in the spring it comes
twice year for the Northwestern Linn
tied Trains. Twice a year both these ia
nous trains are run into the shops for
thorough overhauling and cleaning, and
such cleaning as they receive. Every bit
of woodwork, nickel and brass is rubbed
and polished, all the mattresses and springs
are made over, the upholstering is done
over, new paint and varnish, and many
skilled mechanics finally turn out two
brand new trains. In fact, the daily clean
ing these trains receive in Minneapolis and
Chicago is much more thorough than the
most tidy housewife gives her home.
These two famous trains of the North
Western Line have just received their an
nual housekeeping and are fresher, bright
er and finer than they ever were. They
run every night between Minneapolis, ST.
Paul and Chicago-one going, one coming
and still are worthy the common and
well deserved opinion that they are the
most comfortable, elegant and easy riding
trains in the world

Farmers Are Interested.


The farmers institute just brought
to a close, at Fergus Falls, has
aroused good deal of interest in a
number of farming operations which
are now being successfully carried on
in many places, but have never yet
been tried here. Perhaps the most
important of these is the plan of rails
ing wheat and flax together. Rep
resentative Bush, of Olmsted county,
who was one of the instructors at the
institute, dwelt at great length on
this plan, which, he says, is prov
ing very profitable in the southern
part of the state. The plan of SOW
ing ftaX with the wheat was first
adopted in order to keep the cinch
bugs out of the latter grain. This
proved effective and it was soon dis
covered that the plan had numerous
other advantages. 1t was found that
it had tendency to keep the wheat
from lodging and that both grains
were improved by being grown to-
gether. Mr.. Bush recommends that
two parts of wheat to one of flax be
sown. This plan will produce a crop
of about 45 per cent of flax of superior
quality. The two grains are harvest
ed and threshed together and then
easily separated by a flax cleaning
machine. A great many farmers here
contemplate trying the new plan next
summer

Woman in Finance.

>. A Detroit man, whose wife was coming to
San Francisco on visit, accompanied her
as far as Chicago and put her on the overland
half of a five dollar bill that he had torn in
two, telling the man that his wife had the
other half and would give it to him at the
end of the journey if she were properly
looked after. When he got home he found
half of the torn bill, and few DAYS later he
received a letter from his wife reminding
him of the fact, and saying she had torn
dollar bill in two and given half of it to the

Two Men Shot.

The Palace saloon, in Moorhead, was
robbed and the burglary was traced to
two men who were located in cheap
clearinghouse in Fargo. Chief Muir
ply, with two Moorhead citizens, went
across and without consulting the To-
cal police, arrested the suspects and
started over the bridge into Min
nesota.
One man, known as Collins, who was
in personal charge of the chief, re-
sisted on the bridge and refused to go
further. Pulling gun he shot Muir
ply through the abdomen.
After firing he started to run, but
was tripped by W. t. Larrabee. In
the fall Collins lost possession of the
revolver, which Chief Murphy caught
up and fired shot into the burglars
head as he lay on the sidewalk Both
men were taken to DIR. Larrow's hos
pital in Moorhead.
Murphy's injuries are said to be of
a very serious nature, as it is thought
several intestines were cut by the bull
let.

He had been in hundreds of Skin

knew this and would unhesitatingly
follow his lead under what seemed to
be the most desperate conditions.
The Indians came to know him as
the most active, vigilant, wary and
determined of foes, and his pursuit
and capture of Geronimo, the famous
Apache chieftain, has gone down to
history as one of the most remark
able campaigns ever undertaken with
the small force in hand. Gen. Miles
picked out Lawton to lead the chase
after the Indian chief, and for three
months, day and night, without
pause, through al sorts of vicissitudes
of weather and personal suffering,
Lawton hung on the trail like blood
hound until the game was run to
earth, and for the first time in a quar-
ter of century southeastern Ari-
IONA was pacified. Secretary Root
and the president each expressed his
profound grief at the confirmation of
the report of the generals death.
Died on Eve of Promotion.
1t was learned at the war depart
ment that instructions, had been re-
ceived Monday night from the presi-
dent to prepare Gen. Lawton's COM
mission as brigadier general in the
regular army to fill one of the exist
ing vacancies, and the adjutant gen
erals clerks were at work ON the
commission when the information of
Gen. Lawton's death was conveyed to
the department. Gen. Lawton was a
native of Indiana and won bis COM
mission in the army by signal gal
lantry during the war between the
states.
Body Brought to Manila.
Manila, Dec. 21.-Maj Gen. Law
toms body was brought from San
Mateo to Manila Wednesday after
noon, his staff and squadron of cav
airy acting as escort. 1t was found
necessary to bridge the river. The
funeral will take place from his late
residence here. a mansion formerly
occupied by Spanish general.
The Presidents Tribute.
Washington, Dec. 21.-Tbe president
sent the following cablegram to Gen.
Otis:
Gen. Otis. Manila: l have learned with in
expressble sorrow of the death of Maj,
Gen. Lawton. and ask to share with the
officers and men of the Eighth corps in
their grief One of the most gallant Of
ficers of the army has fallen. Al the time
the sad news came to us his nomination as
brigadier general of the regular army was
already made for transmission to the SEN
ate but no rank can enhance his fame: He
rose from the ranks of the Ninth Indiana
volunteer infantry, filling every grade in
the service to that of major general of vol

Gus for bravery and devotion to duty. The
country mourns for the death of this in
