In the Gentleman's Magazine, an old
English publication, for 1850 appears
the following: "On Wed. 20 august
at seven in the morning was decided at
Newmarket IL remarkable wager for
1000 guineas $4,000 laid by Theobald
Taaf, Esq, against the Earl of March
and Lord Eglinton, who were to pro-
vide wheel carriage with man in
1t to be drawn by horses 10 miles an
hour; it was performed i'll 53 minutes
and p seconds" Each of the horses
was ridden by a jockey and only har.
messed to the carriage by loose straps.
Between the hind wheels sat another
Jockey, who guided the carriage by
moving handle like that of the mod
crn bicycle.

And Jess smiled quite gladly.
The last steamer was due at Kin
lochan pier about O'Clock, and when
Mr.. Ogilvy sighted her lights on the
far side of the loch he proceeded to be-
have i'll a somewhat extraordinary
fashion. His message boy having gone
for the night, the grocer was alone in
his shop, yet he looked about him us
though he feared watch upon his
movements. Satisfied at last that he
was unobserved, he opened his till and
took out penny, muttering to himself:
'Ye're muckle eediot, Samuel Ogil-
w"
He regarded the coin for nearly Il
minute, replaced it in the till and took
out n half crown.
Its mair in keepin' WI the opera
tion," was his inward observation.
Just then customer came in, but
fortunately did not wait long, although
after her departure the grocer could
not remember where he had laid the
half crown.
I've nae time to LUX fur it the noe"
he thought, glancing through the win
dow ut the lights of the approaching
steamer.
Having picked form from the till,
he gazed at it earnestly and then spun
it into the air. AS it fell he grabbed at
it, but missed it, and it struck the floor
and rolled under the counter.
Tits" he exclaimed. an get it the
morn"
He spun a second form and this time
caught it between his palms.
Its heids!" he murmured when he
had lifted his right hand. 1--WE to gang
an meet her. Oh, mel"
Five minutes later, as the steamer
reached the pier Mr.. Ogilvy, having al
ready put up the shutters, locked the
door of his shop-at least an hour
before the usual time-and FASTENED
along the road in the direction of Mrs.
Wallace's abode.
On reaching it he turned and walked
slowly back toward the pier, which the
steamer had now left.

to himself. Maybe she's no. comm

He retraced his steps to the cottage
and again set out toward the pier. Sew
cral people from the steamer passed
him. while lie pretended to be absorbed
| by the view over the sea wall.
But at last the looked for figure came
dimly in view, and thereupon Mr.. Ogil-
| Wy lost his head.
"Oh, l hope she'll no. see me!' lie
groaned and gazed steadily across the
loch.
Mrs. Wallace came through the dusk
and halted behind him. as that you

CHAPTER VII.

= 10 UT can carry it easily" said
I'D Mrs. Houston, referring to
, - the small order she had just
G8 given the grocer.

Several days ago, a stranger claim
ing to represent Sioux City, Ia,
nursery company, passed among our
farmers taking orders. Now comes
a kick from many Of those who
patronized him that he increased
the order in each instance; for in
stance, one party gave five dollar
order which since grew to twenty.
These parties claim they are coun-
demanding the orders. There is
but one thing to say in this case,
and that is 'patronize home indus
tries and avoid the unknown guam
tity. In this instance, we find that
the same stock could have been
bought of Will & Co., of Bismarck,
for the same money and the pur-
chaser would have some recourse.
Local pride in our institutions, in
dustries, ETC., should prompt every
man to keep his orders at home

YELLOW FEVER. EXISTS in SEW
ERAL PARISHES IN VICINITY
OF NEW ORLEANS.
SITUATION SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE
LARGE NUMBER OF SUSPICIOUS
CASES OF SICKNESS UNDER
INVESTIGATION.

New Orleans, Aug. 9.-The number
Of new cases and deaths from yellow
fever reported up to noon was small
but considerable suspicious sickness
was reported. There are now thirty.
two cases of this nature under inves'
tigation by the Marine hospital serv'
ice. The campaign in the Crescent
City is progressing favorably under
the federal authorities, the taking
over of control being accomplished
without friction. The weather is clear
and warm.
Two deaths from the fever have
been reported at Shreveport. They
are cases which tried to enter the
city from other points, but were
stopped and sent to the detention hos.
pital. There is no yellow fever in the
city of Shreveport.
There have been twenty-five new
cases reported in parishes outside of
New Orleans during the past twenty
four hours. Nineteen of these are in
the town of Patterson and are mostly
Italians. The three other cases re.
ported are in st. Charles parish, one
of them being negro.
The two cases of suspicious sick.
ness reported at Bon Ami, La, have
diagnosed as yellow fever. One ter.
minated fatally. On hearing of these
cases Texas people living along the
Louisiana border requested the gov
ernor of Texas to send militia to the
state line for guard duty, but the gov
ernor declined to comply.
The total number of cases in New
Orleans to date is 500 and total deaths

JAPANESE AND RUSSIAN PEACE
COMMISSIONERS LAND At
PORTSMOUTH, N. II.
IMMENSE CROWDS OF PEOPLE OUT
FOREIGN ENJOYS CONTINUALLY
cHEERED WHILE PASSING
THROUGH STREETS.

Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 9-The
Japanese and Russian peace ENJOYS
were given warm welcome here dur
ing the day by the federal and state
authorities and by<housands of resi-
dents of this city and vicinity. The
ENJOYS landed about II a. m. and
were at once escorted to the navy
yard, where luncheon was served by
the commanding officer. At it's con-
clusion the start for Portsmouth was
made. A band Of marines escorted
the distinguished party to the navy
yard gate leading to Portsmouth. At
the navyyard limits the marine escort
was withdrawn and the, mile and a
quarter to Portsmouth was covered
speedily in automobiles without mill
tary guard. At the Portsmouth end
of the bridge was drawn up the escort
regiment of the New Hampshire ma
tional guard, commanded by Colonel
Tetley. The regiment got under way
without delay and, headed by the
First Regiment band Of the state, took
up the line of march through Market
street to the town square, then down
Congress, Middle and State streets to
the county courthouse, where Gov
ernor McLane and his staff were wait
ing to extend the greetings of the
state and where Mr.. Peirce, as repre-
sentative of the nation, welcomed the
ENJOYS.
The exercises in the courthouse
were over in twenty minutes and the
ENJOYS again took their places in their
automobiles and were driven to the
Wentworth hotel and assigned to their
respective quarters.
The passing of the ENJOYS from the
bridge to the courthouse and thence
to New Castle was observed by
crowds, who showed great enthusiasm,
cheering repeatedly the distinguished
foreigners. The plenipotentiaries rode
in open barouches and so frequently
had they to acknowledge the cheering
of the people that their heads were
uncovered most of the time.

HAS BIG FREIGHT CONTRACT.

Contractor Stabern, who has the
government contract for the work
of building along the new Glendive
irrigation ditch, was in the city Sat-
urday and made arrangements for
the transportation Of about 5000
tons of material to- yGlendive and
along the Yellowstone with Capt.
I. P. Baker of the Benton line Of
steamers. The contract for the
Yellowstone ditch and special ditch
has been awarded but not signed.
It is expected, however, that it will
be completed in the near future and
Mr.. Stabern is ready to begin the
work as soon as the details and pre-
iminaries are formally completed.
The total contract for work along
the ditch is something over mil
lion dollars, and Mr.. Stabern has
the contract for about 25%d Of that
amount, and the telephone line be-
ing built along the proposed canal
has been begun, about ten miles has
been completed out Of Glendive.
Frank Hughes, Of Glendive, man
ager Of the electric light company
there, who was in the city Sunday,
says that city is thriving and at this
time there are about fifty-three new
residences being erected. The goy-
ernment irrigation work means the
expenditure Of a considerable sum
of money and that is having it's
effect upon the town.-Bismarck

Wealthy North Dakota.

We are slow to boom anything,
for in the end to overpraise or boom
a man or country is to do harm, not
only to those who have been mis-
led, but also to the man or country
thus treated. When, however, a
real fact exists showing unmistaka-
BILE evidence ofprosperity or wealth
none are more willing to spread it
abroad than we are, for such things
will not mislead.
The great and fast increasing
stock shipments from the Dakotas,
and the enormous shipment of eggs
butter and cream, to say nothing of
our great output Of grain and gold,
show that our prosperity is not all
boom, but that substantial and
permanent growth pervades these
two states. The amount of money
we handle, too, is an unmistakable
pointer, and the vast amount of
railway business certainly is an
other safe index to what our people
are doing and likely to continue to
do i'm the near future.
President Hill, Of the Great
Northern line Of railroad, made a
most significant statement in COM
pairing Minnesota with North Da-
kota the other day. He said:- |
have lived in Minnesota forty nine
years. That state has more timber,
more fresh water and more people.
than North Dakota, but there are
only about fifteen cities in Mime
sofa where the railroad companies
do business of more than one mill
lion year, while in North Dakota
there are thirty eight towns doing
that business
Certainly such things are very
encouraging and suggestive. Da-

Montevideo, Minn., Aug. 9.-Two
little girls met death by suffocation,
two women were injured, one possibly
fatally, and a baby was saved by its
heroic mother during a fire that gut
ted the two-story wagon and machine
shop of George REVERE at this place.
The dead are: Anna Botten, aged
ten years, and the six-year-old daugh-
ter of George REVERE.
Mrs. George REVERE jumped from a
second story window and sustained
injuries which may cause death. Mrs.
Anna Botten also escaped by jumping
and is suffering from sprained
ankle. The escape of Mrs. Botten
was spectacular. Finding that exit by
the stairway had been cut off she
rushed to the cradle of her infant,
forgetting her other child. and leaped
. from the window just as an angry
tongue of flame. in rapid pursuit,
made a last desperate lunge for her
clothing.

May and bought with w. T. Was

the home of E. G. Gaarst, two miles
south of Goodrich, where he had
gone Saturday evening to spend
Sunday. His death was very sud-

the same room at the timewas only
warned by low gurgling and look

his eyes were already set. He i'm

place and summoned his uncle,

place and found that Mr.. Werth
was dead. Mr.. Puff came to town
and then notified deputy sheriff

SECRET SERVICE MEN ON BOARD
Treatment Of steerase Passengers Un
der Investigation.

New York, Aug. 9.-Through the
arrest Of Captain Romaldo de Para
vich of an Austrian line steamship,
charged with bringing over 660 steer.
age passengers for whom there were
not regulation accommodations, it has
developed that ten secret service men
are travelling for time in the steer
age of incoming steamers. Captain
Paravich was held in cash bail before
a United States commissioner.
It appears that the secret service
agents have been going on board
abroad and eating the food served to
the steerage passengers, sleeping in
the quarters provided for them and
sharing their lot in all ways until they
are discharged on Ellis island. The
inspection is being made under orders
of Nevada N. Stranahan, collector of
the port of New York.
