s. A Scared CONGREGATION.

Near the close OF high mass in the
Cathedral, in st. Paul, small fire was
caused by an altar candle falling over
and coming in contact wi*>7 bunch of
holly, Before the blaze did any great
damage it was extinguished by one of
the priests.
An usher did not know that the flame
was extinguished and turned in an
alarm, but before the fire department
reached the scene mass had been re-
sumed.
With the exception of slight excite
ment among the acolytes, no one in
the church paid the least attention to
the fire. Father Dolphin motioned to
the boys to take their seats and not
make any disturbance. The boys
obeyed, and as soon as the fire was put
out resun ed their places around the
altar

The people Of the Red Lake and Red

out the plans Of the United States en-
gineerss and construct a lock and dam
at the outlet of Red lake. Thief River
/ Falls, Red Lake Falls and ST Hi1aire
are actively at work to the same end.
Sc Grand Forks, both East and West, are
not behind in the movement. In fact,
the city governments and commercial
bodies of every town along the river
are operating in the campaign for
an appropriation at this session Of con-
gress.
This plan for q reservoir at Red Lake
for the control of the fowage Of the
Red Lake and Red rivers is an old one
and several years ago congress appro-
priated money for a survey.
The tri-state drainage convention, at
its session at Crookston, adopted reso-
buttons arging the work, and the legis-
latures Of North and South Dakota and
Minnesota have memorialized congress
to the same effect. Through the fail
ure Of the river and barber bill at it's
last session, nothing was done. 81 ... :
Public meetings are being held
throughout the valley, and strong
case will be presented to congress.

Stock Fodder.

The food and forage exhibition held
at the state experimental station the
FIRST week in December was of unusual
interest to the farmers and stockmen
Of the northwest. The states repre-
sented were Minnesota, Iowa, North
Dakota and Indiana. An interesting
feature of the exhibition was the dem
onstration showing how Minnesota
raised it's prize stock, and analysis of
the fodder with which Minnesota ami
mails were brought to such high state
Of culture. The farmer was given val
liable information on the fattening of
cattle. Minnesota's showing in corn,
even compared with Iowa, was an eye
opener to the delegates.
Minnesota got first prize, Iowa Sec
ond, North Dakota third, Indiana
fourth.
Alberto D. sorentas, representing
the Argentine Republic, secured the
Minnesota exhibit for his government.

STRANGE TURNING
OF NEWHOUSRS HAIR.
II is Now Perfectly White Ac-
cording to a Letter
from Him.

Mystery deepens concerning the case
Of Charles Henry Newhouse, the young
Culpeper cattle broker who left his home
in such peculiar manner last Christ
mas day. and who is now in the wilds
of South Africa. Newhouse has been To-
Gated, but it looks as if he may never
return. and that he will take the secret
of his leaving home to his grave with
him. Many strange and weird stories
are going the rounds concerning the ad-
ventures of the young man.
Among them is one based upon inforna-
ton in a recent letter from him to his
home people. which is to the effect that
his hair, eight months ago as black and
glossy as a ravens wing. is now snowy
white. No one is able to explain this
most remarkable change. Whether the
young man has undergone physical hard
ships and privations in the dark country
or whether some sudden and awful fright
is responsible no one cain tell. and those
who have heard of 1t can offer no plaus-
ible explanation. It has been suggested
that the deep humiliation and penitence
of the young man at his actions in leav-
ing his mother and friends under such
peculiar and unexplained circumstances
might have been responsible for the turn
ing of his hair, but no one knows, and
pciid pS tic uSSleiy VIII never Do SOlNeu.
The last communication from young
Newhouse to his people was dated at
Johannesburg, he having left Cape Town
some time ago. It is not known that
he will ever return to his native heath.
His letters say he is doing we'll now,
but speaks In a vague sort of a. way OF
hardships and deep distress that have
overtaken him since he took this most
remarkable step in life.
While the young man does not say in
what line of business he is engaged
some of his friends think he Is still a
cattle dealer. He states that he is
making money. but does not say posi-
lively when, if ever. he will return
home again. There is no other such
case on record in Virginia. and few if
any in the entire country. and from the
very first step taken in the drama last
Christmas day, it has been filled with
strange, weird and exciting Incidents.
