Plan to Run Railway Trains Intact
From London 70 Paris.
The French ana English railroad
companies are now Jointly considering
a scheme for cross channel ferryboats
to carry the London and Paris trains
intact, so a traveller entering sleeper
at Charing Cross station in London or
the Care du Nord In Paris will not be
disturbed until he reaches his destina-
ton, says London dispatch to the
New York World.
The new boats will be 500 feet long
and from thirty to fifty feet broad ac-
commodating a train Of sixteen coaches
on two parallel sets Of rails between
the upper and lower decks. The trains
win be raised or lowered at Dover and
Calais on electric elevators.
No fear is entertained Of the unsea-
worthiness of loaded ferryboats In
deed, they are expected to be far stead
Ter than ordinary packets. The scheme
will save ninety minutes In the Paris
London journey.

A Falling OF Because Of the Closing
Of the Golden Reward-$7,000 900 In
Gold This Year.
The state mine inspector for South
Dakota has issued his annual report
to the governor for the year ending
Dec. ], 1903. The gold production for
the year has been $7,159, 400. 20. The
production last year was $7,342, 227.56.
The shutting down of the Golden Re-
ward smelter at Deadwood in March
by the walk-out Of employees and its
continued idleness has been the cause
of the decrease in gold production. All
other mines in the Black Hills show
an increase in their production, and
there are three more producers this
year than there were last year.
Eighteen mining companies have
been producing during the past year,
and their output in gold has been Is

BOTH GET GOOD PLACES.

epaIding and Marshall Both Well
Placed on Congressional Commit
tees.
=. The two North Dakota members Of
the house have Jared we'll at the
speakers hands. Marshall gets a re-
appointment on the Indian affairs com
mittee and is fourth from the top,
which means that his influence in this
CLASS Of legislation will be consid.
+erably increased. He goes on irriga-
ton, which is important to his state,
and on private land claims, giving up
his place on Pacific railroads.
Spalding goes on banking and cur.
rency, which will be a very important
committee, if not this session, shortly
afterwards, for there must soon be leg
islation for a more elastic currency.
He goes on territories, which will han
die statehood bills, and where his vote,
1t is understood, will not favor the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
as separate states, or as one state, up-
less the situation should seem to de-
mand it. He goes also on labor, where
he will be expected to help hold down
Hearst and the other Democratic MEM
bers of that committee.
The assignments are of the first i'm.
portance and will give him a fine Oh.
portunity to make a record in national
affairs.

Stars and Planets Blaze.

North Dakota, and especially the
Red river valley, may be lacking in
picturesqueness of natural scenery
though there are many who say that
the wide sweep of 'the prairie is beau.
tiful enough, but whatever may be said
of its terrestrial scenery, that of the
heavens is unsurpassed. The at
mosphere is so clear that the stars
and planets fairly blaze. Nowhere is
the moonlight more brilliant, and the
transformations it works in the land
scape r nowhere more wonderful.
The state is so far north that it sees
many of the beautiful atmospheric ef-
fects that are never witnessed by PEG.
pie living farther south. The aurora
approaches that of the arctic regions
in beauty. Some magnificent displays
have been seer at Mayville recently.
Sunday just before sunset the air wal
full Of floating particles of frost, and
on each side Of the sun, about ten or
fifteen degrees away from it, were two
extremely brilliant sundogs.
A few nights before, the moon, as It
came up the eastern heavens, was &C.
companied by a pair of moondogs that
were very brilliant. On Sunday even.
ing after the darkness had fallen and
the electric lights were on, there was
another beautiful display, taking the
form this time of narrow streamers of
light that shot straight up from each
street lamp into The sky.

Commenting upon the labor situa-
ton, Mr.. Gregory says entire harmony
has prevailed between employer and
employed during the year with the one
exception of the Golden Reward smell
ter in Deadwood. In this case the
smelter men walked out over the dis
charge of n helper, on the charge
floor. This compelled the suspension
of the plant, and other causes, includ-
ing litigation, have contributed to
keep it in a state of idleness. The
principal owners of the Golden Re-
ward are E. H. Hartman. Samuel w.
Allerton End others of New York, and
Harris Franklin of Deadwood.
The prevailing wages in the Black
Hills are $3.50 a day for miners, So a
day for %shovelers, $3.50 to 81 a day for
mill men and other laborers about the
mines and mills. Generally speaking,
ten hours constitutes a days work in
the mining section of the state, but
there are cases where three shifts of
eight hours each are employed, par
ticularly in the performance of work
that requires haste.
The total number of fatal accidents
during the year has been eight. This
is a falling off since 1902, when thir.
tteen fatal %~ccidents were reported. It
is attributed in a measure to the oper-
alton of new laws regarding the deep
work. It is also taken to indicate a
great regard on the part of the min
ing companies for the safety of their
men. The total number of non-fatal
accidents has been nine for the past
year.
Five new reduction plants have been
completed during the year, all of them
using the cyanide process. These r

ter, Penobscot and Golden Crest, these

HI. Mind Fail. Under the Strain.

Glen Thompson, the young law STU

and taken to the asylum at James

The young man has confined himself
too closely to his duties as stenog-
rapher for United States Commission
er John H. Lewis, and this is probably
the cause for mis- pltiable condition.
It was feared that he would again at

FLAMES NEARLY WIPE OUT TOWN

Railroad Engineer, Seeing Fire, Blows
Alarm and Saves Much.
Fire which broke forth in the bowl
ing alley and billiard hall at Danny
brook destroyed business property
worth $4,000. The flames, famed by
a strong northwest wind, began their
work of ruin at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing. For a number of hours it was
feared that the whole city would be
burned.
Several families were made home
less and nine buildings in the business
section burned. No lives were lost.
The fire was noticed just as Engine
No. 108 pulled into the place. The. en-
gineer aroused the people by his whis.
tie, thereby saving several thousand
dollars worth of property. Among the
buildings burned were the drug store
of White & Rose. N. o. Sonden's gen.
eral store, s. Greengard's clothing
store, pool room and bowling alley,
two restaurants. Barke & Wieman's
new $4,000 opera house and general

made in North Dakota on the ground
that the Typographical conditions are
unfavorable to elaborate work. This
seems to be the keynote of the whole
thing.
The engineers seem to be looking

and dislike to undertake plans for
minor work as would be necessary in
this state. The members of the irri-
cation association in North Dakota are
preparing a statement to be presented
in Washington, and are determined to
make a showing. Everybody in the
state strongly supports Senator Nc

A special ten-day stock judging
course is being held at the North Da-

Western Minnesota were also there.

Pupils Cannot Spell.
In addition to the other troubles con-
corning the Fargo schools, a member
of the board is out in a published
statement that the pupils cannot spell.
Whether his discovery is the result of
are agitation in other cities or is
original is not stated, but the results
of some of the tests indicate that a
startling condition exists, and he ad-
vises a radical and immediate change
of methods.
