Fearful Tale of Suffering on the North
Dakota Prairies.

News has been received of the terrible
| sufferings Of go passengers on a stalled
train ON the Great Northern railway at
lonely spot on the North Dakota prai-
rie. The train was caught in a blizzard
and for four days and nights was buried
in snowdrifts. while the passengers, fren-
zied with cold and hunger. fought for ra-
tons like wild beasts. Two passengers
went insane and Prof. COlgrOve, late of
the University of Washington. attempted
to commit suicide by cutting his throat.
The train was stuck at Ray, a small
water tank station seven miles from
Wiliiston. late Thursday afternoon The
engineer tried to run his engine to the
next station for aid. but was forced to
abandon it in a snow drift a few miles
away. This took away the steam sup
ply for heating the passenger cars. About
1OO Of the passengers were second-class.
in immigrant cars. When the situation
was fully understood the passengers. rail-
road, and Pullman crews, endeavored to
make the food supply last as long as pos
sible. Before relief came riots were
threatened by the second-class passen-
gers, two persons became insane, and
many narrowly escaped freezing or starv-
ing to death.
The snowstorm was one Of the worst

instrument, climbed to the top Of tele-

wires to Minot that officials were able to
locate the train and send out snow plows
and a relief crew.

The Colorado Spider.

The home Of these pleasant creatures
is Buenavista. where. many years ago,
they were reported as living In cave.
\ letter has been found in Buenavista
which contains an account Of them.
Its truth is solemnly vouched for by the
oldest inhabitants. "A short distance
out Of Buenavista Is a cave swarming
with spiders of immense size. some Of
them having legs four inches in length
and bodies as large as that Of canary
bird The cave was discovered in 1868,
and was often visited by pioneers on
their way to California, who obtained
the webs for use In place of thread.
Early and late the cave resounds with
buzzing sound emitted by the spiders
as they weave their webs. The webs
were tested in 1871. and were found to
be composed of silk Of the finest varie-
ty. The skins of the spiders make good
gloves, as they are piiable and require
no tanning. A number Of spiders were
captured and tanned. and manifested
great affection for all the members OF
the family. They were far superior to
a cat in exterminating rats and mice.

originated in Brady's bathhouse located
on the board walk between New York

are: The Windsor, the Berkley. the

Noted Among the Resorts.
Atlantic City is one of the most noted
resorts in the United States, visited by
thousands of tourists from East and
West every summer. Its board walk
along the ocean is famous all over the
world. The population of Atlantic City
Is $1,000. but the largest number of its
people are those who occupy the immense
hotels In the hot months.
The location of Atlantic City is Pc
culiarly advantageous. 1t is virtually a
city i'll the sea. The island on which it
Is situated lies FIVE miles out from the
mainland, across a marsh which is net
work of salt water courses. All of the
surrounding water is salt and no consid-
cradle stream of fresh water empties in.o
the ocean within many miles of the city.
The air at all times is consequently i'm
pregnated with salt and full of invigora-
ting freshness. On account of its ad-
vantageous location the summer tempera-
ture of Atlantic City is remarkably low
Forty million dollars have already been
invested in Atlantic City. The city has
