A JOINT COMMISSION.
Canada and United States to Mako
Study of the Great Lakes.
An Army Engineer, a Civil Engineer
and a Lawyer from Each Country
Will Investigate Use Of Wa-
tiers Near boundary Line.

Eenator Cullom has favorably re-
por,ed to the senate from the foreign
relations committee a resolution au-
thorizing the president to invite the
Canadian government to join in the
formation of an international COM
mission to investigate and report
upon the conditions and use of the
waters adjacent to the DO .naary line
between the United States and Can
ada, including all the waters of the
lakes and rivers whose waters flow
naturally by the st. Lawrence to the
Atlantic ocean.
This commission, which will consist
of three members from each country,
will also report on the effect upon
the shores of the waters in question
and the structures along the shores
by reason of the diversion of the
water from their natural channels
and upon the interests of navigation.
The commission will also report
upon the measures necessary to regu-
late or compensate for the diversions
and changes as now authorized or
contemplated
The commission appointed by the
president will consist of an army en-
gineer, a civil engineer, we'll versed
in the hydraulics OF the great lakes,
and one lawyer of experience in inter-
national and marine law. The COM
mission is authorized to employ ex-
perts and other persons necessary
for the performance of the duties
imposed by the proposed law. Gen.
Gillespie, the chief of engineers, sub
mitted a letter to the committee
which was adopted as it's report. He
says:
1.-THE language of the resolution APP
pears to create a permanent commits
sion. This is not considered neces-
sary or desirable. 1t is believed that,
having investigated and reported
upon the important hydraulic and RI
parian questions which have already
risen or may be regarded as imme-
diately impending. the commission
will have fulfilled it's purpose" =.

INDIANS DISCOVER GOLD.
Red Men Organise Rival Companies
to Work Diggings on Rosebud
Reservation.

An incident which developed on the
Rosebud Indian reservation a short
time ago again illustrates the prog
ress which some of the Sioux Indians
are making toward civilization. A
number of Rosebud Indians discov-
cred what they believed to be low
grade gold property and formed
company for the purpose of working
the ground. Their secret leaked out,
as such secrets will, and some of
their envious brethren organized a
rival company to Jump" the same
ground.
At present the members of the
rival company are watching each 9th
er closely, the discoveries of the sup
posed gold mine for the purpose of
preventing their rivals jumping" the
ground, and the latter for the pur-
pose of taking advantage of the first
opportunity when the locators of the
mine temporarily relax their Wig
lance to take possession of the mine.
The reservation is, under the lazy,
held in common by all the Indians
belonging on it, and this prevents the
discoveries of the mine from locat-
ing it under the mining laws for min
ing purposes, and thus removing the
possibility of rivals sucuring posses
sion of it.

KRUGER'S LIFE AT Utrecht.
Newspaper Correspondent Says He II
More Phlegmntic and Taciturn
Than Ever.

Cabling from Utrecht, the London
staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune says there is, no decline in
the popularity of former President
Kruger, although he lives in seclusion
and is seldom seen outside his villa in
this small factory town. He is sur
rounded by swarm of relatives and
Boer exiles. sees few visitors, and is
more phlegmatic and taciturn than
ever. He is unmanageable in money
matters, and so deliberate and eau
tious in expressing his opinion and
Judgment respecting South African af-
fairs, that he is seldom consulted by
the other Boer leaders. DR.. Leyds Is
received as the diplomatic representa-
tive of the South African Republic and
allowed to display his full uniform on
state occasions at The Hague. Mr..
Kruger is private citizen. living in
exile, and is not encouraged to visit
the capital or appearf in public. Yet
he is reverenced throughout the Meth
erlands as a hero.
Mr.. Kruger is nmistakably aging,
the dispatch concludes. as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than it was and his general health has
improved during his residence near
Utrecht, but his mind has grown dull
and his grim humor has disappeared.
He remains the central figure of the
group OF Boer refugees, because his
personality is still unrivaled.

AN ELEVATOR GIRL.
The Only One In New York City Runs
the Car in a Training School
for Nurses.

Margaret Donnelly, who has the
unique distinction of being the only
girl who runs an elevator in New
York, if not in the world, the other day
told reporter how she did it. you
just pull the rope, that's ALL" she ex.
planned, with a smile, "then up YOU
go. Ut course, it's a simple matter
to come down."
Margaret is assisted in her duties
at the Margaret Fahnestock training
school for nurses by Katie O'Connor,
who is also becoming quite an expert
in running the car. Margaret's story
is as follows:
perhaps | am real new woman,
but l never realized it before to-day.
l thought there were lots of girls who
ran elevators. but it seems that l am
almost alone in my profession.
Il have been running the elevator
here for five months. OF course, had
to learn how to do it. At first | was
timid. but | soon got used to it all
Sometimes | brighten the people who
come here to visit. They stand in the
elevator and look for the boy. or
course, they think l am one of the
nurses, but when I slam the door ard
pull the rope they get pale and look
half frightened out of their wits. But
l would not hurt anybody for the
world.
1T seems to come natural to me to
run an elevator, and wonder that
more girls don't take it up as a pro-
fession. The passengers wouldn't
have so much to fear then, for women
are more careful than men or boys"

LAUGH AT GOODS, DISDAIN.
The Men Students at Northwestern
University Are Amused by
Feminine EDITORIAL

Men students of Northwestern uni
versity, at Evanston, ILL.,, are disposed
to smile at the protest of the goods
as voiced in an article in the woman's
edition of the Northwestern, which
declaims men as being well enough
for teachers, friends, dressmakers or
husbands" but as not being "satisfac-
tory companions for a walk"
you will always notice, however"
said one man, who expressed the SEN
timents of the male division Of the uni
versity, after reading the article in
question. that when man calls at
the girls halls with the intention of
taking walk with a coed he is sell
dom disappointed. This is something
new to me. had a rather deep-rooted
notion that the girls sat up nights
plotting ways to entrap the men into
asking them to go strolling l call it
a very poor bluff"
The woman's edition of the college
paper furnished the chief subject for
discussion about the university camp
us. Surprise and general commenda-
tion of the editors was expressed at
the absence of flippancy and nonsense
found in the edition, in marked con-
trast to those of former years.
A prominent feature of the paper
was the goods defense of coeducation.
The cudgel was taken up in another
editorial against the use of cigarettes.

In paper read before the grain
growers convention, Commissioners
of Agriculture, H. r. Turner, pre-
sents the following statistics which
will be of interest to North Dako-
tans as we'll as to others who may
contemplate locating in this state:
In 1898 the flax acreage was 405,-
799 acres, and tie yield 4,l34, ,l66
bushels. In 1899 there were 645,.
45l acres and 6,3O6,8l6 bushels,
which in 1900 increased to ], $780,
244 acres and l3,47O,58l bushels.
In 1901 there we're l, 400, ,899 acres
sown. The yield is not yet offici-
ally known. This gives an increa-
sed average of 1,O85, 100 of 1901
over 1898 and an increased product
of 9,336,4l5 bushels in 1900 over
1898. Between 1890 and 1900 the
cultivated area of the state increas-
ed 6, ,290, ,6Ol acres.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Two Women Near Milton Killed
By Coal Oil Explosion.
MILTON PEOPLE MOURN.
Mrs. Hanson Was Using Coal Oil
y to Light the Kitchen Fire-The
Explosion Was Terrific Killing
Mrs. Hanson and Fatally Injur-
ing Her Sister Miss Deity.

Mrs. Lars Hanson, whose home il
located within half mile of Milton, was
instantly killed Friday evening by an ex.
plosion of kerosene which she was using
to light the kitshen fire. Miss Doty, her
sister, who was in the room at the time
was also badly burned, but her injuries
may not prove fatal, though theyare very
painful. The details of the affair show
that Mrs. Hanson had piled the wood in
the stove, and had poured a liberal
amount of kerosene on it. 1t is thought
the stove must have been still warm frem
a previous fire, for when she applied the
match there was terrific explosion. The
woman was thrown violently against the
wall on the opposite side Of the room,
and was dead when picked up a moment
later. Her face, arms and breast we're
burned to crisp, and her clothing was
badly burned. Miss Doty, sister Of the
woman killed, was the only person in the
room at the time Of the explosion, and
she was badly burned and knocked to
the floor by the, shock. There were sew
eral men outside who made a rush
to the kitchen when they heard the ex-
plesion, and prevented bad fire from
resulting. Mr.. and Mrs. Hanson had
been married but little over one year.
They resided on farm half mile south.
east from Milton, and are we'll known
and highly respected people. Mrs. Han.
son is IS years Of age. When news Of the
terrible disaster reached Milton many
people hastened to the scene, but could
offer no assistance to tho stricken hus-
band, who was at homo whom the explo-
sion occurred.
LAT1R:-DuYing Saturday word was re-
ce,ved of the death Of the second victim
Of tho sad tragedy, Miss Doty, who
breathsd her last that morning at four
o'clock, from burns received while trying
10 save her sister. 1t was thought ut the
time Of the accident that she might sur
vive, but her injuries were more serious
than was supposed. Mrs. Hansen died
almost immediately as was stated above.
The IRE in the sieve was not OUT. how
ever, but WAS not burning very we'll, and
tho kerosene was beng being poured on
the smouldsHinr embevs from gallon
can. Il was tho can that expleasd, and
consequently Mrs. Hanson was cnvsssd
with the oil. Miss Doty was changing

and was in the room with her sister. Her
arms and part OF her chest were thus ex-
posed, and in the sndexvor TO extinguish
the fire in the clothing Of her sister she
was terribly burned, and endured her
