w. M. Holbrook, announcing the
serious Hines, of their daughter. Mrs.

rived there three hours before the
passing away of the estimable young
lady.
Mrs. Buchanan had been suffering
for some time with a complication of
diseases, but her ultimate recovery
was earnestly hoped for. A sudden
turn in her condition, however, hast
ened her death. Her husband, father
ard mother and other relatives were
at her bedside before she died. De-
ceased was only 81 years of age and
had been married to Mr.. Buchanan, a
highly respected and prosperous bust
ness man of Drayton, only two years
ago. Mis-. Buchanan was visitor
IN this city on several occasions and
made many friends during her stay
here. who will deeply regret her un-
timely taking off. She was al &C.
complished musician and entertained
very pleasantly while visiting in this
city. A strange coincidence in her
death is the fact that she was called
from her beloved ones almost within
the same houl of the first anniversar y
of the death of her brother, G. A
Hotbrook, whose memory still remains
fresh and honorable in the hearts of
Devils Lake citizens.
A large number of friends in this
city and county extend to the bereav-
ed family their heartfelt sympathy in
their sad affection.

Farmer Excursion
To Fargo in July

Fargo Forum: President Worst of
the agricultural college leaves tonight
for st. Paul to confer with the Great
Northern and N. ?. passenger agents
relative to the annual farmers excur-
sions to the college during the coming
summer and to submit his schedule of
excursions. The excursions will be-
gin the second week in July and con-
tinue for two weeks The policy of
the Great Northern this year will b.
similar to that which las heretofore
been adopted by the N. p, to charge
la nominal rate, but the Jules regard
| ing numbers will be unchanged.
The rates adopted for the farmers
along the line of the N. P. last year
anu the year before was half a cent
mile each way and the e.. N. pro-
poses this year to adopt the same
rates.
For FIVE years the G.. N. nas gener-
ously ca1lied the farmers in this state
along the line Of its road free Of all
cost and the officials feel now that the
farmers have well learned how bene-
fetal visit to the college is in many
more ways than one and that those
who are DESTROYS of keeping in touch
with the work at the college will not
object to the small cost imposed upon
them, in fact they have been led to
believe that progressive formers of
the state will consider the nominal
amount for fare, to and from the col
lege, money we'll invested.
PRESIDENT Worst has requested 8. j.
Small, of the Inter-Oceap, to select
delegates to attend the agricultural
college excursion from the entire
county this year. A rate of one half
-, cent mile each way will be charged
by the road this year. Those who
have participated in previous excur-
sions are not eligible on this trip.
The ladies are especially invited.
Those who wish to go on this excur-
sion will please send their applica,
tions to Mr.. Small and they will be
fled in the order in which they are
received. The first 80 applicants
will be the delegates selected. It is
the intention that all sections Of the
county shall have eqaal representa-
tiop, and it should be remembered
that the excursion is for the benefit Of
the farmers and their wives exclu
s:vely. y.

$5o,ooo,ooo FOR PENNSYLVANIA
VIII Borrow Money to Buy the West
ern Maryland Railroad,

New York, Feb. "a syndicate of
New York bankers has agreed to lend
$50 1000, 900 for the purpose Of improving
the Pennsylvania west of Pittsburg,
and also it can be stated on the author
ity of member of a lending syndicate
to provide funds for the purchase of
the Western Maryland railroad by the
Norfolk & Western, as part of a plan
for the settlement of the Gould-Penn-
sylvania differences. The Western
Maryland is controlled by Gould inter
ests. and its president. Joseph Ramsey,
jr., is president of the Wabash road.
According to the latest reports the
Western Maryland. which runs from
Baltimore to Williamsport, and leases
a number of smaller lines. has out
standing about $4,000, 900 of common
stock and 1921. 900 of preferred stock.
While a syndicate member said that
the loan would provide funds for the
purchase of the western Maryland, it
could not be learned that negotiations
for such a purchase had been closed
pending the conclusion of the negotia-
tionS. A denial such as that received
from Philadelphia was not unexpected.
Wall street regarded the statement
that one of the purposes of the loan
was the purchase of the Western Mary
land as very important. The differ
ence between the Gould-Pennsylvan
interest have engaged the attention of
financierS for months and while re-
ports that an adjustment was under
the last few weeks, official confirma
ton is lacking. One of the runners in
circulation today was that the Penn
sylvania after taking over the Western
Maryland would give the Gould lines
a favorable arrangement for seaboard
traffic.
The Pennsylvania will receive the
money April 1 and issue notes bearing
Az per cent interest therefor, the notes
to be taken up in IS months. 1t is not
the intention of the syndicate which
has taken the notes to offer them at
public sale. The price to be paid for
the notes was not made public
WINSLOW PIERCE DENIES.
Baltimore, Feb. 6.-Winslow S. Pierce,
chairman of the board of directors Of
the Western Maryland railway. said to
an Associated Press reporter last night
there was positively no foundation for
the rumors the Western Maryland had
been purchased by the Pennsylvania
railway company. He said:
Il have never discussed these rumors
and see no occasion to do so now. There
has been no change in our plans and
purposes. There will be no departure
from the plan upon which the present
interest acquired the Western Maryland
property"

In Spite of That Woman Gets Judg-

Milwaukee. Wis, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Edith
J. Raft, of Denver. Colo, who sued
the Northern Pacific railroad company
for $4,000 damages for injuries sus-
tanned in two collisions. September -
and 81, 1902, while en- route from Seattle
to Denver, was given a verdict of $1,000
damages by a jury in the United States
district court last evening. Mrs. Rain
will take an appeal to the United States
court of appeals.
The railroad company contended that
Mrs. Raft was riding on scalper's
ticket and was not entitled to damages.
Judge Seaman charged the jury that
people who ride upon tickets sold to
scalpers by other persons do so at their
own risk unless the tickets are orig
inal tickets. They are trespassers upon
railroad trains, subject to being elected
upon the refusal to pay for their pass
age. and If they sustain injury they are
not entitled to recovery.

TORE OUT THE WALL.
Only Way Railway Exhibit Gould Get
Out of Field Museum.

Chicago, Feb. "a large force of
workmen under the direction of Major
j. G. Pangborn is engaged in the novel
undertaking of removing the transpor-
tation exhibit from the Field Column
bian Museum to the fair grounds at St.
Louis, where it will be installed as the
exhibit of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road.
The exhibit was originally collected
by the Baltimore &, Ohio for the World S
fair at Chicago, where it attracted a
great deal Of attention. At the close
of the exposition it was given to the
museum with the understanding that if
the railroad company again desired to
use it for exposition purposes it would
be placed at its disposal.
In order to move the collection of
cars and engines, of which the exhibit
is mainly made up, it became necessary
to construct tracks from connection
with the Illinois Central's tracks at
Sixty-third street to the doors of the
museum building.
1t became necessary to remove a
large portion of the north wall of the
building in order to take out the big
engines and cars. When loaded the
exhibit will be moved in one train to
st. Louis, the train to consist of so
cars and many engines

BRAKEMAN WANTS $4,000.
Begins Suit Against Union Pacific
for Loss of Hand.

Leavenworth. Kan, Feb. 6.-Wads H.
Norton a former brakeman for the
Union Pacific main line through Kan
sas, yesterday filed suit in the district
court against the railway for $4,000
damages alleging that because OF an ac-
cident at L.inWood, Leavenworth county,
alleged to have been due to the negli-
gence of the engineer he had his right
hand smashed so badly. between the
bumpers that it had to be amputated.
Norton was riding on the engine when
the train came to a stop and got off
on. the south side o. the engine to un-
couple from the engine the string of
cars, the first or one directly back of
the engine being a refrigerator car.
While between the cars uncoupling the
train, Norton alleges, the engineer, Ed
McKittrick, without any signal what
ever from him, backed the engine. Nor
tons right hand, it is alleged, was
caught between the bumpers of the en-
CINE and the refrigerator car and so
badly mangled that it had to be ampu-
tated.
The plaintiff states that at the time
of the accident he was 81 years of age
and capable of earning 800 a month
but that because of the injury he is
deprived of the means Of earning a live
lihood He asks for $4,000 damages
against the company and also that the
costs of the suit be assessed against the
defendant company.

RAILROADS GET THEM.
Steerage Passengers Induced to Come
by Railroad COMPANIES.

According to Chairman e. e. Mac
Leod of the Western Passenger associa-
ton the tremendous increase of steer
age immigrants to this country and
Canada during 1903, an increase
amounting to 20S. 1903, or 80 per cent.
was due largely to the inducements Of
fered to settlers by the railroads and
not to discomfort with the countries
from which they came.
Never before in the history of rail-
roads, according to the chairman, was
there so much effort made and so much
money expended as at present to in
duce immigration to the farm lands in
the northwest, the far west and the
southwest. Nearly all the large rail-
way systems had agents in various
European countries, and extra induce
ments were offered for sellers.
According to the figures presented
by Mr.. Macleod the total number of
aliens arriving in the United States,
including the 64,260 cabin passengers,
was 921, 315 which is 105,013 more than
the greatest number heretofore re-
ported for any one year

Representatives of the railroads in

having been placed with the Carnegie
works, and it is intimated that these
will be given as much of the present
order as they will undertake to deliver
within the limit of time set for that
purpose by the purchasers. Last years
deliveries are said to have given great
satisfaction, and for this reason the
purchasers are disposed to give the
Carnegie works the preference in plac-
