NEARLY HURT.

There was another marrow escape
from injury on the N. P. train at
Jamestown, a passenger attempting to
board the train after it had started.
The Alert thus describes it:
''As the west bound train was pull
ing out this morning, a man carrying
a child in his arms rushed out of the
depot restaurant and tried to board
the train. It seemed to the bystand-
ers as though he and the child would
be thrown under the wheels The
speed of the tram increased as he hung
on by his hands and attempted to
swing himself on. AS the train was
nearing the express depot some one
gave him boost and he and the child.
got aboard safely. It seemed for
few seconds that nothing could save
HIM or the child from serious injury.
The train was crowded with people
and it was through no fault of the rail-
road employees that the man had such
struggle 10 board the train. The
conductor called aboard several
times before the train started The
man lost his hat in the struggle and
may deem himself lucky that he did
NOT fare worse. AT Bismarck a porter
who attempted to get on the train
after the doors had been closed, fell
of to the platform and almost got un-
Ger the wheels. Some one will surely
be hurt m or killed in these efforts to get
on board after the yestibules are
closed. .is

others laying it in the foundation.
Eight or ten yards were laid after the
work began yesterday afternoon, and
the foundations for the piers at the
east end Of the depot are laid and work
is being done on the foundations for
the main building. a number of adj
ditional Worknlen were engaged yes,
terday, some Of them wheeling rock
and sand TO the mixing beds and others
mixing the concrete. The materials
are mixed on platforms that have been
built for the purpose. The concrete
hardens rapidly, and fifteen minutes is
allowed from the time the concrete is
mixed until it is laid in the founda-
ton. That which was laid yesterday
afternoon is this morning hard as a
rock, and will continue to grow harder
as it lies in the foundation wallis
The work on the depot is furnishing
employment to number of laborers.
Several were picked up yesterday who
wanted to work, and were given em-

!. ELECTRICAL STORMS,

The electrical storms that have pre-
vailed over the entire Red River val.
ley during the past few weeks have
been among the worst that have ever
been experienced in that section. Ev-
cry night for the past two weeks the
heavens have been lit up by vivid
flashes and the days have been nearly,
as bad as the nights. To those who
are afraid of lightning, or, as is more
generally the case, the crash that fol-
lows it, the storm period has been far
from enjoyable. "f
1t is somewhat remarkable that the
damage done has not been far greater
than is really the case Numerous re-
ports of slight accidents have been
received from time to time but COM
paratively few reports of serious dam
age are current. AS is always the
case to a greater or less extent there
have been numerous escapes from
death that seem nothing less than
miraculous. 7& 5' ~

had had a most beneficial effect on the
prices of farm animals. The total in
crease in the value of the farm animals
of the United States from Jan. !, 1897,
to Jan. /, 1900, was. $572, ,7Os,755. The
decrease in the number of horses dur
ing the last three years had been pro-
nounced, although it was becoming
less and less every year. @ r .i@

the decrease is fading out. and it is
only a. question of time when an in
crease will begin again. We sold

tries, and received $7,ol2 ,056 for them
There is anactiye demand in foreign
countries for horses Of all kinds, espe-
scially the more valuable ones.
