General Foreman White has been ad.
vised by Master Mechanic Wheatley
that President Rooscvelt's special train
will pass through Dickinson the after,
loon of April 7. The engine coming ont
oi Mand.n will run through tn Gl"ndive
but the process Of cleaning its fire and
coaling the engine here will require about
5 minutes. A pilot engine is ordered to
run IS minutes ahead of the special train.
Engine No 752 will be used as pilot from
Mandan to Dickinson and engine No
353 west to Glendive. Foreman White
is particularly cautioned to see that the
engines are thoroughly inspected, as the
delay of a minute to the President'strain
has to be wired to headquarters in 81.

the time of the arrival here of this speci-
al, but leaving Bismarck at 4:4s (3:45 our

Last Friday Nels Nelson, a passenger
on No. 1, shot Eleanor Madden, another
passenger with whom he was travelling.
The tragedy took place IN the platform
at Richardton while the engineer was
taking water. 1t seems these people
we're going from New York to Portland
and Nelson became jealous ofthe woman.
He fired several shots at her, two Of
which grazed her back, causing flesh in
%juries. Nelson then opened his mouth
and discharged his twenty-five into the
root thereof and tumbled over into the
ditch. As the train pulled out for Dick
inson the passengers supposed Nelson to
be dead, but he soon became a lively
corpse and it was found that his injuries
did not amount to much. The woman
stopped off here and had her wounds
dressed, after which she swore u a
a complaint for the arrest of Nelson who
was brought to Dickinson BY Deputies
Budda and Hartung early in the evening
of March II. A hearing was held this
week and Nelson was bound over 10 the
district court. He does not appear to be
much exercised over the matter. He
says that he was discharged from the
navy in New York a short time ago. The
woman returned east Wednesday eve.

Easter is once more drawing near,
this and Christmas are the two great
festivals of the Christian year. Cold
is the heart that Is not stirred at the
advent of these two seasons. The
season of lent is almost past. That
time of sorrow for sin and self denial
will soon be gone and the joy of
Easter tide comes as a pentage of
the tears of sorrow sincerely shed
for sin, as the flowers Of spring are
in a certain sense the fruitage of
storms of winter or the weeping
of the skies. The church which is
the mother of us all expects all her
children to be faithful to the duties
of the Holy Tide one of which is to
receive the Holy Communion at
least once during the sacred season.
The venerable Bishop of Rhode Is
land who is the presiding bishop of
the church in urging the people of
his diocese to a more faithful OBJ
servance of the Lenton Season said
in bis pastoral letter. "You have
an earthly father who has watched
over you from childhood, and pro-
vided for all your wants. He loves
you dearly, and his heart would
break if you were taken away. YOU
meet him every day at the table
you pass him constantly as he goes
out and comes lido you never no.
tice him, never ask him for anything.
never thank him for anything and
never speak to him? This is the
way in which you treat your Heav-
emily Father. Do you suppose HI
does not care? We will all do wei
to heed these words of the venerabl,
prelate and when Easter comes en-.
ter with gladness into the spirit O
the time, not forgetful to surrende,
our duty to our Heavenly father
And the more neglectful we hav,
been 10 the past the more anxieu
b0pld we now be to make amends

CROP NO LARGER
THAN LAST YEAR
If as Large, Declares Bradstreet's Cot.
ton Report.
FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
Came Answer to Inquiries as to Pro.
spects-.-Only Two States Report a
Probable Increase---WhiIe Many Show
Decrease.

New York.-This years cotton crop
is estimated to be not larger than, ii
1t equals, that of last year, which was
III, TIT 900 bales, according to a speci-
al report to be issued by Bradstreet's.
The report, which is based upon
special inquiry made by Bradstreet's
correspondents throughout the South,
will say: To the main leading ques-
ton as to the probable yield this year
as compared with last, the unauimity
OF the opinion pointing to yield be-
low that OF 1902 is notable. Two
States, Alabama and Louisiana, re-
port probable increase in produc-
tion. Texas shows much diversity oi
opinion, the net result being crop
about equal to last year, while the
other States report decreases, most
notable in South Carolina, Mississippi
and Tennessee, with smaller reduc-
tions in North Carolina, Georgia, Ark.
ansas and Florida.
"Toree- fourths of the response
point to the belief that ho top crop
worth mentioning will be gathered,
but the answers to the question OF
grading and staple show it to be bet
ter as whole than last year. AL
though the general consensus of
opinion is that the crop will be smaller
than a year ago, it is pointed out that
the higher price ruling, the advance
on last year being one to one and
three-fourths cents, makes the crop,
potentially, as valuable in a money
way as year ago.
Making all allowances for under
estimantions, the report as whole
point to yield in bales no larger, if,
indeed, it quite equals that of last
year, which saw a commercial corp of
10, 727, 900 bales u arketed."
