A Hold Up.

At Minot a lone burglar by the
name of Allen entered the Leland ho-
tel cafe, flashed a six shooter and
shouted Hands up!" He tapped the
till for about $50 in cash, dotted his
hat and took his departure, but not
before pretty Marie Smell, an employee
of the house, slipped out and gave the
alarm. In a minute Chief Kimball
was on the scene and gave chase to
the thief. He was captured and
lodged in the county Jail. 1t was just
fifteen minutes from the time the bur-.
Sglar entered the hotel until he was
lodged behind the bars.

Cannot Succeed.

The failure of the alleged Ignite
trust to secure control of the mines of
this state wa no surprise to the bust
ness men. The plan was a gigantic
one and would have meant a big thing
for the promoters. The fact that
there are many places in the state
where the Ignite crops out on the
slopes and car be mined without ma
chinery, and that in other states it is
so close to the top of the ground that
farmers make easy money hauling
into town during the winter months,
was rather discouraging to the trust
people. The entire western and
northwestern part of the state seems
to be underlaid with the coal, and the
supply is so unlimited that trust
measures will not be a success.

IN Hessian Fly.
Tasessor Waldron, of the North Da-
Skota Agricultural College, has been in
Walsh county Investigating the Hes
sian fly. An Investigation shows that
the pests have wintered well and are
ready for business. The professor
thinks that fields plowed last fall will
be immune, but it will require early
burning or blowing of stubble lands
this spring to eradicate the pests.
They were found last year in several
sections of the state, though no seri-
Gus damage was done.

The Hon. Mr.. Justice PinlemQrGS Letter,

II desire to give my voluntary testimony to the beneficial effects of
your Cuhcura Remedies. I have suffered for some time from an excess
of uric acid in the blood; and since the middle of last year, from a severe
attack of Eczema, chiefly on the scalp face, ears and neck, and on one
limb. l was for several months under professional treatment, but the
remedies prescribed were of no avail, and was gradually becoming worse,
my face was dreadfully %dis6gured, and lost nearly all my hair Atlast,
my wife prevailed upon me to try the Cutcura Remedies, and I gave them
athorough trial with the most satisfactory results. The disease soon began
to disappear, and my hair commenced to grow again A fresh growth of
hair is covering my head, and my limb although not vet quite curedl is
gradually improving. My wife thinks so highly of your remedies that She
has been purchasing them in order to make presents; to other persons
suffering from Similar complaints, and, as President of the Bible Women,s
Society, has told the Bible women to report if any case should come under
Ter notice when a poor person is SO afflicted, so that your remedies may
be resorted to-" ROBERT ISAAC FINNEMORE,

Today the world knows little OF the

Of one Of the most appalling disasters
which ever overlook an American COM

plishment of a task as unprecedented

been experienced. Counting the cost

depth OF water 10 float any ship. The
city and federal governments have done
much toward its Improvement the lat
ter having expended more than ten mil
lions Of dollars In jetties. dlkes and
other deep water Improvements, besides
the erection OF three modern forts, and
is continuously improving other natural
facilities. The port ranks first in the
export Of cotton, cotton by-products and
exports annually millions Of bushels Of
wheat and corn and thousands OF tons
OF other commodities, Scores Of steam
ships and railway lines are necessary to
handle this enormous business The
products Of the entire middle west find
this the natural gateway to the mar
kets Of the east, and Of the world.
PLANS FOR PROTECTION.
For a means OF holding and protect
ing this enormous business, then there
can be little wonder that following
close upon the heels Of even so great
a calamity the surviving population
should proclaim even greater things for
the city's future. For this protection
a seawall or breakwater was proposed,
