STARTLING TALE

Abducted

Abducted.
Paris Cable New York. World.
Adele Torpie, a seventeenLyear-old Pa
risian girl, missing since November, re-
turned home on Tuesday and related an
extraordinary story conc9erhing her alb
sence. tI3t,e>
She aafd that she visited the exhibition
on the closing day with augirl friend a
year younger than herself While they
were strolling through Tthep Rue Algiers
her friend became separated from her
in the crowd. She looked, and waited
vainly for her.
While Miss Torpie was stopping before
a booth where beaten brass was sold,
an Arab salesman spoke to her. She
said she had lost a girl friend. He re-
piled that he had seen the girl enter a
house near by. He escorted her there
and led her to the second story, where
her guide spoke to another Arab in a
foreign language.
your friend is there said the second
man, pointing to another room.
AS she entered it a cloth was thrown
over her head. 1t was saturated with a
strong drug, which rendered the girl
unconscious. When she recovered she
found herself bound and gagged.
On the next day the. same. man came
and said:
Get ready for long voyage"
He carried her to an adjoining room,
placing her in a long box, partially filed
with rugs and soft stuffs He tied her
body so that it was impossible for her
to move. except to have the partial use
of one arm. Beside her head was placed
a small dish, holding grains resembling
brown beans. Then her captor sad:
Eat when you are hungry. Fear moth
ing There is no danger; we will take
you to a sunny country to be a rich
mans wife"
In front of the girls face were a num-
Der of airholes in the box. The girl says
she remembers the lid was adjusted and
then she dreamed she was dead. She
has no recollection thereafter except that
for a time never seeming to end all was
darkness except for four little CLEANS OF
light. IA
Though her brain was dulled she was
| conscious Of travelling on trains and boats
and constantly hearing her captor's ia
miliar voice. i'"
After what seemed a; century her tomt
opened and the same voice said:
Here is the sunny,eland.
Around her were green trees, strang'
sights and odd peoples The girl became
the property of an old man with white
! beard He took her to, his home Weak
ened unto death by a violent fever, Adele
| was RENTED to the care of the old man:
wife, German woman who was mos
| kind and who two weeks later aided
her to escape, giving her money.

Adele does not know the name of tn
country, but its people resembled thos

GOVERNMENT IS DOING IT

CHICAGO, Jan. H.-A Washington spe-
cial to the Record says: The introduce
ton into this country Of new hardy win
ter Wheats and macaroni varieties means,
according to experts, an increase of at
least 100000 bushels in the yield OF the
Wheat-groWing sections of the great
plains 1t means by the introduction of
these drought-resistant cereals the West
ern and Northern states will produce
great crops.
Heretofore the general wheat crops Of
the plain states have been attended with
greater or lesser degree of speculation
owing to the constantly recurring
droughts. The United States department
Of agriculture has accordingly made this
matter a serious study and is now pre-
pared to lend a helping hand. Prof. M.
A. Carleton. the departments wheat ex-
pert and the most eminent cereal author
ity in the world, has recently returned
from Europe, where he made an ex-
tensive investigation into the various
wheats, their cultivation, conditions OF
climate and soil.
| In an interview regarding the introduce
ton of new wheats into this country
Prof. Carleton said: at is clear that one
! of the possibilities of expansion in our
! cereal industry lies in the direction OF Sc
curing new drought-resistant varieties,
with which to extend the cereal-produc-
| ing area farther into the Senll-driH region
and to insure crops of larger productions.
HAS DOZEN VARIETIES.
'In my trips through Europe I found
a dozen varieties of red winter and maca-
roni wheats that will be of special bene-
fit to the great plains. The macaroni
wheats will be of value to the spring
wheat growers as well as the winter
wheat, because they can be grown in
states from North Dakota to Texas, In
elusive The idea of increasing the area
of winter wheats is of special value
to Iowa and Nebraska 1t will enable
the farmers there to grow winter whcats
in sections where heretofore they could
successfully grow only spring varieties.
1.-The macaroni wheats can also be
grown in such sections as Arizona, Idaho
and the driest portions Of Washington
| and Oregon. One important feature
| about these wheats is that although they
need some moisture to bring them up
| and then one rain later on, afterward
| the drier 1t is 1t seems the better for
| them at this stage. They do well IN re-
| gions where the rainfall Is from ten to
| fifteen inches. Experiments of the de-
| partment during the last season in the
| West show in some extreme dry locali-
| ties where the ordinary wheats only
| yield from three to four bushels the ma
caroni varieties made an average of fif-
| teen to the acre.

PIERRE, S. D., Jan. N.-Special.-To-
morrow being the second Tuesday of the
session, both houses of the Legislature
will meet in their respective chambers
to select United States senator tor
South Dakota. On Wednesday both
houses will meet in joint session, the
journal of Tuesdays proceedings will be

Gamble has received a majority in each
of the two bodies That is the way it is
slated and sure to go through.
S. c. Hartrauft, superintendent of
schools of Brown county, has drafted a
bill to establish township school libraries
The bill seems quite feasible and might
accomplish great deal of good. 1t pro-
vides that the county treasurers shall
transfer from the general school fund
of the county to each school district an
nually an amount equal to 10 cents for
each person of school age, residing in the
district. This money is to be used for
purchasing library books, the clerk of
the school board and the teachers en-
ployed in the district are to constitute
library committee, the books are TO be
selected under the direction of the coun-
ty superintendent and are to circulate
from one district to the other throughout
the county. In this manner rha hin
would supply the people with an abund-
ance of reading material at a trif1ing cost

The indications at present are that
North Dakota will not be divided into
two congressional districts this year. The
slope members will oppose a division
along an east and west line, says the
Grand Forks Herald, because they want
district of their own. The Cass county
members will oppose it because Cass
wants the next congressman, and Tom
Marshall, the present incumbent, being
from the south end, the fight might he
made more difficult The division into
valley and a slope district will be OBJ
posed on several grounds. One is that it
would place the two largest cities, Grand
Forks and Fargo, in the same district
bic weight, is purely political. The east
necessarily be small, geographically, on
account of the density of the popula-
ton. The six valley counties, with two
or three adjoining, contain half the pop
ulation of the state. In these counties
the greater portion of the Democratic
vote is cast. The state electi1g two
congressman at large is almost certain,
under any conceivable condition, to elect
two Republicans. But it is by no means
certain that IN Republican off year the
valley counties might not elect a Demo-
crat. With the great Republican land
slide in 1900 Walsh county gave Mckinley
majority of only three. Richland casts
a big Democratic vote; Cavalier, until re-
Democratic, and the valley district
would in some years be a very Unsafe
proposition from the Republican stand
point. There is OH this account strong
feeling against a division Of any sort
this year.
