PASSENGER TRAIN sNoWBouND.
Fearful Tale of Suffering on the North
Dakota Prairies.

Dakota PrairieS.
News has been received of the terrible
sufferings of $50 passengers on a stalled
train on the Great Northern railway at
lonely spot on the North Dakota prai-
RE. The train was caught in 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, p small
water tank station seven miles from
Williston, late Thursday afternoon. The
engineer tried to run his engine 20 the
next station for aid, but was forced to
abandon it in snow drift a few miles
away. This took away the steam sup
ply for heating the passenger cars. .aoout
100 of the passengers were second-class.
III immigrant cars. When the situation
was fully understood the passengers, rail-
read, and Pullman crews. endeavored to
make the food supply last as long as pos
sible.l Before relief came riots were
threatened by the second-class passen-
gers, two persons became insane, and
many narrowly eScapeu IreezlnS or Stdrf-
ing to death.
The snowstorm was one of the worst
IN the history of the Northwest The
railroad wires We're nearly all down, and
it was not until one of the passengers,
an electrician. devised rude telegraph
instrument, climbed TO the top Of tele-
graph pole. and sent message over the
wires to Minot that officials were able to
locate the train and send out snow plows
and a relief crew.

ANOTHER pARTY BORN.
Allied Peoples Organization. Formed
by Delegates at Louisville.


The Populists have new name. As
the Allied Peoples party Of the United
States, title formally adopted at Louis
vile the other day, they expect TO go for
ward until they have united under one
banner all the reform elements opposed TO
the Democratic and Republican parties.
The Peoples party and the Public
Ownership party of st. Louis alone have
formally joined the new organization, bur
the Fusion Populists, the Socialists. the
Referendum League, the Union Labor
party, the Prohibition party and the
United Christian party had representa-
tiyes present looking on at the birth and
unofiicially promising support.
The convention was called last Septer--
Der '.to unite reform forces against llu-
tocracy." About go delegates we're
present. One element in 'ie Peoples
party was opposed to any Concessions
to the other reformers. bur finally a plat
form was adopted which provides for all,
though expressly reaiiirming the spirit
of the platforms of the national conven-
tons of the Peoples party in st. Louis,
Omaha and Cincinnati
This platform makes the demand for
the initiative and referendum the chief
point at issue, holding that if this point
could be carried the remainder of the
principles desired would follow as a mat
ter of course.
The platform favors the public owner
ship of all public utilities; demands that
land. including all natural resources, the
heritage Of the people. shall not be mon
opolized for speculative purposes, and
that alisn ownership shall be prohibited:
that all lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their
needs or by aliens shall be reclaimed and
held for actual settlers only; that money
shall be based upon the entire wealth of
the people of the nation. and not redeem
able in any specific commodity. but shall
be full legal tender for all debts, private
and public, to be issued by the govern
ment only, and without the intervention
Of individuals or corporations. sufficient
in quantity to meet the requirements of
commerce, and that taxation be just and
natural.
1t also provides that the President,
Vice President, Federal judges and Sen
ators be elected by the people; that a
cabinet Office of the department of labor
and equitable arbitration be established;
that postal savings banks be established,
and that such constitutional amendments
be passed as may put the desired laws in
effect
Chairman J. A. Park of the Populst
National Committee, in urging that all
minor differences be laid aside, said that
the platform adopted was 1.-The most un-
assailable document ever prepared by a
political party" and denounced as Judas
Iscariot any man who would attempt to
obstIuct the work begun for mankind.P.

troubles, loss of flesh and general weakness,
can be made healthy and strong by the use
of Vogeler's Curative Compound. Every
doctor who is at all up to date will say that
Vogeler's Curative Compound will make the
blood pure and rich, bring colour to the
cheeks, and put on flesh where health de-
mands it. Children who have been weak
and sickly since birth should be treated with
small doses of Vogeler's Curative Compound,

Throughout the country surgeons
and physicians have come TO realize
that the simpler the methods pursued
the better for the patient and the
quicker the recovery. 1t is the en-
deavor of the up-to-date practitioners

much of the work of healing as posi-

in surgery, the profession will gain in

wonderful cures viii be wrought. The
old days of physic and bleeding are so
far away as to need the strongest
memory of the oldest man to recall
them, yet the progress made has all
been accomplished within the course
of the last century, a wonderful stride
in science when it is remembered that
the doctors of the eighteenth century
were BARRIERS.
''Of all branches of scientific attain
ment | believe medicine has made the
most advances. Even now there is an
evolution going on in surgery which is
bound to result in great benefit to
mankind. The old methods of soak
ing wounds and sutures with antisep-
ties is gradually being abandoned. and
when an operation is to be performed
it is done through aseptic rather than
antiseptic methods The washing of
the sutures with germ-destroying pois-
ons is being discontinued, and the thor
ough cleansing of the portion of the
epidermis where the operation is TO be
performed is done instead. Infectious
germs do not live inside the body. and
therefore the constant use of antisep-
tics is unnecessary and takes too much
time; besides. such methods We're not
as simple and easy as the aseptic. =

Tie Eost disastrous confagration that
has ever visited Atlantic City. n. j.,
ragged along the beach for distance of
over three blocks Thursday. Eight hotels
were destroyed either entirely or par
tally destroyed. A strong southwest
wind was blowing and the frenlen were
unable to cope with the flames. Assist
ance was asked from Philadelphia and
Camden and the former city sent three
engines. The estimated loss is $1,000,
600.
There was a report that six men had
lost their lives in the flames The fire
originated in Brady's bathhouse located
on the board walk between New York
and Kentucky avenues and extending
from Illinois avenue TO Tennessee ave
nue-three blocks The hotels destroyed
are: The Windsor, the Berkeley, the
Stratford, the Stickney. the Luray. the
Tarlton, the Eyerard The New Holland
hotel on Kentucky avenue and Young's
pier caught fire and burned fiercely
Practically all of the property lost was
attached to the board walk, a frame
structure forty feet wide ssliiItn,g the
edge of the ocean, and consists mainly of
fimsy wooden stores and lighthouses.
Fortunately the brisk wind which was
blowing carried the flames away from the
section of the city in which the most
valuable hotels and colleges are located.
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 il Pc
culiarly advantageous. 1t is virtually a
city in the sea. The island ON which Il
IS situated lies FIVE miles ont from the
mainland, across marsh which is let
work of salt water courses. All of the
surrounding water is salt and no consid
cradle stream of fresh water empties into
the ocean within many miles of the city.
The air at all times is consequently inn
pregnated with salt and full of inyigora-
ting freshness. On account of its adj
yantageous location the summer temporal
ture of Atlantic City is remarkably low.
Forty million dollars have already been
invested in Atlantic City. The city has
been singularly free from disastrous fires.

Regina, Assiniboia, Canada, January
10.-At the Agricultural Statistics
branch of the Department OF Agricul
ture for the Territories, reports are
new being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories for sta
tlstical purposes. The reports are some
what delayed this year. owing to the
extensive crop and the delay in getting
it threshed. The Department of Agri-
culture * leading the way in a new de
parture, in regard TO the collection OF
crop statistics. In tho older provinces,
crop estimates are based entirely on
the opinion of persons interested in the
grain business who oUght to be, and no
doubt are, well posted upon the prob
able yields. Still the reports are SIM
ply a matter of option. in which a
mistake may easily be made. The Ter
riborial Department however, has
adopted the system Of returns of crops
actually threshed. upon which to base
their reports. The accuracy of the
reports cannot. therefore, be gainsaid,
for they represent a compilation of ac-
tual threshing results: In this connec-
ton, 1t might be mentioned that the
department is organizing q system of
growing crop returns, which will be
In operation next summer The in
formation thus obtained, with esti-
mated acreage. will DC available for
business men. banks, railway com.
panies. and other interests which have
to discount the future in making pro-
vision for the conduct of their bust
ness.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases OF alb
normal development In the Regina
district. many returns are given of
crops Of wheat running from forty TO
forty-five bushels to the acre.
J. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed IS
900 bushels of oats from $50 acres. an
average of So bushels per acre for
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwell. of Abernethy,
threshed 1850 bushels of wheat from
50-acre field. an average OF 90 bushels
per acre.
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels of
wheat from a 10-acre plot an average
of nearly 20 bushels per acre
:. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from 90 acres of land. an average
OF 116 bushels per acre.
The publication Of tue actual yields
Of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes OF the people to the great capabili-
ties OF the Western Canadian prairies.
