Water Conditions,

Here in Pembina we have as yet suffer.
ed no damage from the water. The
river has been rising steadily, but the
cold wave last week, put aside all dan.
ger of high water. The river is falling a,
Grand Forks and it is not probable there
will be mnch more of a rise.
The country round about is practically
covered, and travelling is almost impos.
sible. The Pembina river is now run.
ming free from ice, and while the ice has
not moved to any great extent in the
Red, there is no danger of an ice gorge.
Saturday and Sunday the N. P. people
had to do considerable dynamiting to
loosen an ice jam which had formed at
the bridge.
At Neche the Pembina was practically
free from ice Wednesday last, but the
water was the highest since 1897. The
Walhalla stage made only semi-oc-
casional trips.
At Walhalla the Pembina broke up
Monday night and the vast amount of
water pouring through the hills made the
highest water ever been seen at that
place. Above the dam the water was
running overland and Mayors grove was
completely submerged except the trees.
The property loss to Mr.. Mayors mill
will be considerable. Some fears were
felt for the new bridge, the water being
so high teams had been unable to cross
for several days.
At Crystal the Park River was so
blocked with snow that it was impossible
for water to escape, and it backed up
and flooded the whole country, being a
foot above the 1896 mark, and flooding
the houses with from six inches to foot
and half of water.
From Grand Forks the country was
one vast lake, in many places the track
being in very dangerous condition, de-
laying the trains several hours every day.
On the Gretna division of the Canadian
Northern no trains were run to Winnipeg
on account of washout at Rosenfeldt.
Man.
A washout between Hensel and Cava.
lier on the G. N. left Walhalla without
any train service for several days.
On the main line Of the N. p, the
water has subsidized at the washout at |
and traffic has been resumed,
Bismarck received its first eastern mail
for week on Tuesday.

Fort Pembina Lands Sold.

Some thirty or more Pembina county
people attended the sale of the lands
and buildings of old Fort Pembina al
Grand Forks on Wednesday. The bid
ding in some instances was quite spirited
but later considerable land went at ap-
prised value Or at a small advance. Mr..
Llndstrom OF the land office, who con-
Quoted the sale, said Geographic instruc-
ton from Washington had been received
to increase the appraised value from 10
to 20 per cent on the lands, and U. S.
deputy inspector was present to repor,
it there seemed to be colussion or pu,
up jobs.
MIR. F. c. Warner got the land on
which the buildings are situated, and
enough more to make about 200 acres.
He also bought the best one Of the off.
GERS quarters and the commissary build
ing, which will make valuable additions
to the property.
There were no bidders outside Penn.
bina city except H. Stong and D. O'Con.
nor of St. Thomas, and gentleman
from Marvel who bought 80 acres.
There were others present, but as the
land was sold in 40's, evidently the prices
and the fear OF being cornered, kept the
others out. The land has fallen into
good hands, and will mostly be broken
up this summer.
Five quarter sections of timber and
scrub land were not bid in. The valua-
ton was high $40 and sl2 per acre, and
with the increase ordered by the depart
ment, made it too high for profit, as the
timber is only good for cord wood, and
the land not valuable as farm land.

Street Novelty.

1t i said that the Adam Forepaugh and Sells
Brothers Consolidated Shows have at last dis
covered a novelty for their street parade som
thing that all managers are in search of and the
public will be glad to This novelty com
prises series of allegorical representation of
the battles of our nation, by the presence in the
parade OF a troop of soldiers, correctly mounted
and uniformed from all the great American
armies from the Revolutionary War down to
the war with China, which eliminated with the
fall of the walls of Pekin. Every costume aud
flag is absolutely accurate in design and mater
ial and the accouternents of the horses are of
the same degree of genuine reproduction. These
allegores are added To the already stupendous
parade given by these shows, and the new things
in the parade are greatly augmented by large
number of entirely new cages, chariots, tableau
cars. cavalades, etc. 1t is by all odds the most
pretentious street pagcantry ever seen upon the
American streets, aud will be seen when the
great Forepaugh-Sells Brothers consolidation
exhibits at West Point next Saturday. the sth.

Bloodless Surgery.

That was notable exhibition
which DIR. Adolph Lorenz. of
Vienna. gave in Chicago the other
day in the presence of hundreds of
physicians and surgeons. He
showed how to adjust child's
thigh bone which had been disor-
dered ever since birth, not an un-
common infirmity. The Austrian
specialists method was a new one
to the profession. Hitherto it has
been customary to employ the
knife extensively before resetting
the femur. DIR. Lorenz so manip-
ulated the leg after each of his
half dozen patients had been rem
dered insensible with ether as TO
accomplish the desired object
without making a wound or draw
ing drop of blood. The opera
tion had been previously perform
ed in private on child of the
Armour family DR.. Lorenz re-
peated it in public for the purpose
of demonstrating to his fellow
craftsmen in Chicago exactly how
he had proceeded.
As for the operation itself one
hardly knows which to admire
more, the physical dexterity in
volved in the manipulation, or the
humanity which dictated the i'm
provement upon the old mode of
treatment. Not simply in cases of
congenitally dislocated ribs, but
with many other disorders in which
the surgical interposition is neces-
5ary, it is possible that the knife is
used too freely. Some surgeons
are said to use it on the slightest
provocation If there is any foun-
dation for this charge perhaps the
example of DIR. Lorenz will inspire |
them to exercise mercy as we'll as
skill in caring for their patients
Not a bad combination.-New

Some of the Mississippi papers
are devoting much space to dis
cussion of child labor in the fac
tories. While the State is making
rapid progress in manufacturing il
has not reached the point at which
the overwork or the age of wage
earners becomes a serious ques-
ton. Regulating such matters
before we have the factories is a
little like fixing freight rates on a
railroad before it is built, of which
Aberdeen had an experience on
one occasion.

The Law of the Land.

A correspondent of the New
Orleans Times-Democrat. writing
from Monticello, Miss. makes this
point on the subject of Govern
ment Ownership" as engrafted in
the New York Democratic plat
form:
4 am forcibly i'm pressed with
the fact that there must be some
thing very mysterious about the
Constitution and laws of our coun-
try.
Never having been stepped in
Jurisprudence, it seems TO me that
a law which applies to railroad
corporation against a small land
owner should apply with equal
force to 100000 people against
a syndicate of wealthy land own
ers. If railroad, in process If
construction, comes to the lend of
a small farmer who objects to the
land spelling his potato patch, the
railroad corporation can have the
land condemned and appraised and
then pay the farmer whatever the
estimated value of the strip may
be, after which it can have undis-
puted possession. All law is said
TO be based on equity. [ suppose
the law of eminent domain is in
tended to prevent one-man or a set
of men from jeopardizing the in
terests of the people in general
and railroad corporation in par
ticular.
''The coal mines are a kind of
wealth that no man created. Near
" every individual in the country
is interested more or less in that
form of natures wealth. and no
man or set of men can truthfully
say that it was created for his or
their special comfort or profit.
Therefore ii seems passing strange
that the law should compel mil
lions of people TO hands OFF, and
freeze on account of the caprice of
q few men, while the railroad,
which is more convenience than
a nece ssity, can take its strip of
wealth and go on about
its business. L presume the coal
mines are being worked at pres
ent, but the principle of which L
speak remains the same. In this
matter | am simply seeking infor-
