one is anxious to get sleigh

the snow won't last long.

White Owls.

ST. VINCENT, Mimi, March g.
Attacked by owls and carried
by the birds to an abandoned
building quarter of mile
away, from which she was
rescued by her father, was the
exciting experience of little An
ME Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson, who lives three
miles south of town, is poul-
try raiser. At dusk last even
ing Annie, who is 6 years of
age,heard a commotion in the
hen yard. Rushing out she
found the place had been at
tackled by large number of
white owls of gigantic size.
The girl went at once to the
defense of the fowls. Instantly
she was set upon by the birds,
which made ferocious on
slaughts upon her. In order
to protect her face and eyes
from the beaks and claws of
the birds, the child was forced
to cover her head with her
dress.
Her father, hearing her
screams, ran from the house
just in time to see the owls
dart upon the child,fasten their
talons in her clothes and then
raise her from the ground and
bear her away.
He followed them until they
disappeared in the old build
ing. Immediately great noise
arose within, and as the half

Kruger's Terms.

BRUSSELS, March 6.-The
Transvaal agency here confirms
the story that Presidednt Kru-
ger is ready to conclude peace
with Great Britain on the basis
of the independence of the two
republics and that otherwise
the struggle will continue to
the bitter end. The agency be-
lieves that the Afrikander
element in Cape Colony and
Natal will rebel rather than al
low annexation, and that the
Dutch members of the Cape
Colony parliment will vote a
resolution in favor of Boer in-
dependence.

A Strong Combination.

:. A strong combination in the
way of tirst-class newspaper
features is made up of The
Minneapolis Journals incom-
parable northwest news service,
its superior Washington SER
vice, and "Bart's" daily car
toons. These three features
alone make The Journal in
valuable to the northwestern
readers.

wAHPET0N PROGRESSING.
Are You Doing Your Part to Push
'Wahpeton This Year. ). J.

Has 1900 anything of impor-
tance in store for Wahpeton.
Can the citizens devise ways
and means to, push to the front
aud to public notice any ad-
vantages this community may
possess for the investment of
capital. We have a splendid
soil, will produce anything
grown IN norther latitudes.
We have good railroad facili-
ties, the Great Northern North
ern Pacific and Milwaukee
systems. The town is little
too quiet for progressive little
city, and naturally men ask the
question as to whether there is
not something to be done to
awaken public interest, and to
to help push the material in
terests of the city.
Some one suggests that, since
the 500 railway system is to be
extended north, it should be
seen to that Wahpeton offer it's
inducements for the gaining of
that road. That might help a
little.
And then there has always
been talk of the. erection of a
bridge across the Red River
three or four miles north of the
city, this would be an advant-
age to those farmers living
north. Of course there will be
several bridges across the Red
River in a few years to come,
and it would seem that now
would be a good time to put in
a good structure of this sort. 1t
ought to be done.
DIR. Formaneck came to Wah-
peton with the express purpose
of putting an hospital i'll here,
and bought the house which
he hoped to convert into the
sanitarium, but inllospitality
set in and he returned to Chi
cago to institute his hospital
which we believe he did. This
instance is cited to show that
there ought not to be discour-
agements thrown in the way OF
public Improvements; and that
all men in the town ought to
pull together for public i'm
provement, and the upbuilding
of anything calculared to help,
and never work for the destruc-
ton of any good interest.
There are some fibre mills
being erected about the coun-
try. Wahpeton ought to have
all the advantages requisite for
thing of that sort.
Here is a splendid opportu-
nifty for a wholesale fruit house,
fruit house exclusively.
Anything that will advance
the substantial interests Of
Wahpeton ought to be support
ed. Let us not only think a
time or two before throwing
cold water,but rather study to
maintain public faith and pub
lie interests, great and small.
Is there anything to be done
for Wahpeton this year?
There's the sewer.
What else?

The National Pure Food and Drug Con-
gress VIII hold a convention at the Ma
tional Hotel in this city on March Z for
the purpose of urging the passage of the
Brosius Pure Food bill. About 450 dele
gates from thirty y-nine States, the District
of Columbia, and Porto Rico have been
designated to attend the meeting. 1t is the
purpose Of the convention to have the
Senate and House committees interested
in pure foods, present. and committee
has been appointed to formally invite
them.
BY adopting this plan the Pure Food and
Drug Congress hope to show the lawmak-
ers the extent to which the practice of
adulterating food is being carried on in
this country. The manufacturers and dis
tributors of food products frankly admit
that coffee, syrups, and other commodities
are adulterated, but say that to discontinue
the practice would be TO give their com
petitors a trade advantage. They further
assert that they are tired of injecting for
eign substances in their products and that
they are anxious to quit the practice. 1t
is not the object of the Congress to eN-
hiblt fCOdSJuhS, but 10 urge the eHdcthleH'
Of laws to prohibit the sale of deleterious
and unhealthy food products.
Ii is claimed that the only way to reme-
dy this evil is by legislation, and rot
through an exposition of the spurious prod
uct of the manufacturer. This conclusion
is justified, it is said, b. the efie OF the Jaw
prohibiting the sale OF adulterated Hour.
Since the passage Of this bill it is claimed
the sale of aduiterated flour has been abb
soiutely stopped.
1t is stated that owing to the law the
sale OF American flour abroad has incIeas-
ed at least % per cent. The Congressional
committees that will be invited TO attend
the Congress are those on Commerce, Ag-
riculture. and Forestry, of the Senate, and
those on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce of the House. The committee ap-
pointed to advise the Congress during It's
proceedings is composed Of the following:
Frank Hume chairman Matthew Trim
bic. first vice chairman; DR.. William {.
Woodward second vice chairman, Health
Officer of the District of Columbia; Robert
n Harper, treasurer, President OF the
District of Columbia Pharmaceutical As
sociation: s d. Hird. Chemist OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia; ]. f. oyster, and Alex

A crematory Of sufisient capacity to re-

days ago with Commissioner Ross that II b.

\ bill has been introduced in Congress
providing for the establishment Of sar-
