The British foreign Office has made

STILL ANOTHER
COLD WAVE COMES
Medicine Hat Starts a Frigid Breath
That Will Bring Zero Weather.

Hamlet's papa would be gratified by
the ''eager air" that's coming down
today from Medicine Hat. Another,
still another, cold wave passed through
town last night. The temperature fell
from a maximum of 20 degrees above
at 2 o'clock p. m. to IL degrees above
at p. m. Observer Oliver expected
to wake up this morning and find his
favorite thermometer crouching close
to zero.
Tomorrow would hardly be chill
lier holiday he says, ''if it was being
celebrated by the descendants of Lord
CORVALLIS. There'll be ample excuse
for drinking patriotic healths, and the
mercury may fall far enough tomor-
row night to make us all feel as if we,
too, were crossing the Delaware.
Eyes, the British planned this sur
prise for us. The wave came from
the Northwest territory. Twenty four
below was the record at Edmonton and
Saskatchewan this morning; sub zero
temperatures were reported from
North Dakota. Still, 1 think we may
escape tomorrow evening with five be-
low, or thereahouts.''

The Central high school of this city

question is the same one that Central
debated with the Cleveland high and
that Blooming Prairie debated with
Austin and Owatonna, viz: Resolved.
that American municipalities should
own and operate their public utilities: -
but the Blooming Prairie team has a
decided advantage over the locals in
that it has debated the affirmative
which is the side it will have in the
coming contest-twice before, while
this is the first time that Central has
had the negative. But st. Paul has the
UNIQUE reputation of never having lost
debate in her own assembly hall (aI-
though she has lost every one held in
other halls), and as Fridays debate is
to be held in their own hall the Cen

The Blooming Prairie team is the
only one in the state composed entirely
of girls, although there are several
which have one or two girls. The st.

figure that the increase in price will

AS to bread Mr.. Michaud says he had

does not believe that it will be made,
unless the present high price of flour
is maintained for great length of
time.
The price of bakers flour is now $4.25

STORY PROVESAP PIPE
No Attempt to Wreck North
Coast Limited.

A message was received from James
town, N. D., last night, telling of an
attempt by train robbers to wreck the
coast limited near Medina Saturday
evening The dispatch said that a secs
ton Of the track had been lifted from
it's place, and Levi Hanson, a section
hand, who discovered that the track
had been torn away, was said to have
been attacked by the train robbers
while inspecting the track. According
to the report he was severely beaten
and cut about the head and face In a
hand to-hand fight with the despera-
does.
+ Officials of the Northern Pacific last
night said that they had heard rumors
of the attempt to wreck the train, but
that investigation proved the stories
false.

tempt to wreck our Northbound coast
limited this morning." said General Su-
perintendent Gilbert last night. 81 at
once telegraphed to the division super
intendent at jamestown for a report of
the affair and received word that there
was absolutely no truth in the rumors.
The division superintendent went to
Medina as soon as he received instruc-
tons to make investigation and his re-
port was wired to me from that sta
tion"
General Passenger Agent Fee said
that he had not heard of the attempt
to wreck the train. IF the story were
true" said Mr.. Fee, Il would certainly
have been informed by the operating
