par~in's Theory Of Coral Reefs.

At the last meeting Of the National
Academy OF Sciences Mr. Alexander
Agassiz. made a report on his recent
expedition to the coral reefs OF the
Maldlve Islands. and the evidence he
presented seems definitely 10 negative
Darwin's theory Of the origin OF coral
reefs. This theory II will be remem-
bered. explains the atolls as due TO
the gradual subsistence OF the floor OF
the ocean, the coral animals building
the reefs as the floor sank.

The police question is one that is
creating a great deal of talk. Many
people are in favor Of large police
force solely because 1t affords positions
for their friends and relatives, and
some of the councilmen are among tie
latter. A newspaper, however, no mat
ter how friendly 1t may be towards
the police, cannot afford to adv ocate a
large police force, which has to be
maintaiped at public expense, unless
IL can be shown that one ia beneficial.
IL il urged by some in Paducsh that
the present force Is not really enough
IN uatrol the city, on account OF the
very large beats that are made neces'
s.ry by the large area that has TO be
trayersed. This is perhaps true, but II
is equally as true. that if Paduosh had
one hundred police officers there would
still be extraordinarily large beats, Land
espionage would be il complete. ow

In most of the cities the police

taxed in this court since the city went
into the second class are the same as
those taxed under the old, and some
times amount to many times the fine.
One dollar witness fee is paid, and this
is added to the costs against the pris-

jury because he had no license. The
supreme court has decided that the
drummer should have had license to

TIE differences that have prevailed
among the republicans of the lower
house of congress over the matter
of the Cuban tariff are, according to
late dispatches, about to be settled.
Undoubtedly the Cubans will receive
the concession of a decreased tariff, or
something in the nature of an equiva-
lent. The opposition to any conces-
sion has been led by Messrs. Morris
and .Tawney, Of Minnesota. Those
favoring reduced tariff for Cuban
products imported into the United
States claim that such reduction is
absolutely necessary if there is to be
industrial prosperity on the island,
The opposition say that a lowering Of
duties will benefit no one but the SUI
gar trust, which owns large share of
the Cuban plantations, and that a
lowering Of duties will kill the beet
sugar industry of the United States.

A STORM.
The JMost Disastrous Snow-.Stoy1a
That the Northwest Has HusL
Since Settlement.

The severest snow and wind storm
judging by losses, atleast-that North
Dakota ever experienced began last
Friday and held the,boards until Sum
day evening. The storm kept growing
worse Friday, although it was not bad
enough to keep the young people Of
Linton from gathering at the Derr
hall and enjoying q dancing party.
But the storm gradually grew worse
as the wind increased in velocity, un-
til it became almost impossible to
stand against 1t on the street, and
very few people undertook to do so.
The storm quit work Sunday even
ing, and Monday forenoon the reports
OF cattle losses began TO come in. The
Record will not undertake to give a
complete list Of Tie losses, as the own
ers themselves have not yet been able
to ascertain the numbers Of the dead
and the living, Bat the loss is appal.

reports of the losses have not yet
reached Linton, and estimates of the
losses vary in wide degree.
Death 9. the storm.

One of the saddest happenings dur.
ing the storm was the death Of little
girl over in the Tirspol neighborhood.
Madaleina, the twelve.year-old daugh-
ter Of Joseph Feist, started during the
storm to 20 to her uncle's house, about
$50 Yards distant. After the storm it
was found that she had not reached
her uncle's place., Search was made
and the little one was found, dead,
two miles from home, within fifty to
seventy-i five feet OF Ludwig Matterr's
house. She Lad her shawl drawn over
her head, and one of her hands was
gripped upon some snow. 1t the poor
little creature: conld have held out for
a minute or two more she would prob
ably have been saved.

at Jangula's until the clouds rolled
by. The mail-sack was in the buggy.
and the sack was not gotten out until
after the storm. The mali was all
right: except that it was wet. The
buggy is still in the ice, which has
water running over it, 50 that the

LINTON people got very little storm
news from the outside world until last
evening, when belated Fargo and
Twin City papers reached us. It seems
that, while the storm was bad through
out the entire Northwest, it was
worse in the Dakotas. In fact; the
portion Of this state known as the.
Missouri Slope seems to have been
the storm center. 1t is doubtful If
any other county in the state suffered
a larger loss in proportion to number
of cattle than Emmons county. The
weather had been warla for several
days, and there were many bare spots
on the prairie. The supply of hay
was running low, and many stockman.
were taking advantage of the tine
weather to put their cattle on the
range. When the storm came on it
was impossible to round up all the
cattle and put, them under shelter.
In other cases, stock let out Of the
stable to be fed started out before the
storm. It was utterly impossible to
follow them, and, If found, they could.
not have been driven back against the
fierce wind and driving snow. One of
the heaviest reports of loss comes from
Dickinson, to the effect that a Stark
county sheepman lost 5000 of his flock,
out of a total Of 4,600. Outside of the
death Of the little girl in this county,
the only authentic report of a loss Of
human life is reported from Grand
Forks county, where farm hand
started for the barn, and never
reached it, his dead body being found
some distance away, after the storm
had subsidized. Dispatches from Colo
rado, Nebraska, Minnesota, eastern
Montana, Wisconsin,, Michigan = in
fact, from all of the states of the
middle west-report a heavy storm, al
though farther south it rainedin some
places and turned to sleet in Others.
All sections, however, report fierce
winds. Even in the south there were
cold rains and heavy wind. Within
the memory Of the oldest inhabitant-
as shown by the figures OF loss-there
has never been such a commotion of
nature on the Missouri Slope.
