MURDER is REVEALED.
Finding of Body DiscIoses Tragedy in
North Dakota Town.

Finding of Body DiscIoses Tragedy in
North Dakota Town.
A murder mystery has developed at
Starkweather, a village twenty-five
miles north of Devils Lake on the
Farmers railroad, by the finding of the
body of Alison Stoddard behind an ice
house. The has gone there,
but has not had time to conduct an in
quest, and as no post-mortem has been
held. little accurate information can
be obtained.
S%toddard, who was about IS years of
age, came from Montpelier, VT, where
his father now resides, to Starkweath-
err several years ago, and has been
working recently for F. H. Prosser, an
implement dealer. On Monday he sold
"a team of horses and deposited in a
bank the money he received from the
purchaser. 1t is supposed that some
one seeing him with the money shot
him and dragged the body behind the
icehouse. The story is upheld by the
statement of section men to the effect
hat they heard shooting in that part
of the town Monday evening.
Stoddard was well liked and was
fairly well:to-do. He left life insur-
ance payable to his father, now living
at Montpelier, vt.

s,onpinc Trains with VIM

Railway managers nowadays have
very great respect for air pressure,
and design their trains so as to elm
mate as far as possible the hostile
effect of the wind No such respect
bothered Commodore Vanderbilt how
ever, says Worlds Work. when George
Westinghouse first submitted to him
his plan for the use of air-brakes on
railway trains.
Mr.. Westinghouse had been for sew
eral years hard at work to adapt air
pressure to the purpose he had IL
mind-to make the handling Of swift
trains safer. He had at last achieved
his object. and with his completed APP
paratus set out to conquer railway
men. After much difficulty he secure,

his explanations with diminishing
patience.

It is a phrase merely to those of
us who do not know war at first
hand: "Thdn the men threw them
selves on the bayonets of the enemy"
1t sounds desperate and dramatic, but
this account in BlackwOod's Magazine
by naval sub-leutenant at Port
Arthur shows what 1t really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand-to-
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades in each others faces.
Half-demented Samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets of the dozen
Muscovites that held the traverse in
the trench. Who shall say that the
day of the bayonet is past? Although
there was not n breech that had not
its cartridge in the chamber, yet men
reused to the limit of their animal
fury overlook the mechanical appli
ances that make war easy. They
thirsted to come to grips, and to grips
they came.
But 1t had to end. The old Colone
had fought his way through his OWL
men to the very point Of the struggle
He stood on the parapet and his ricl
voice for a second curbed the fury o
the wild creatures struggling besid'
him.
Throw yourselves on their bay
onets, honorable comrades!" he shout
ed. "Those who come behind will d
the rest
His men heard him; his officer
heard him. Eight stalwarts droppe
their rifles, held their hands abov
their heads and flung themselve
against the traverse. Before the Rus
sian defenders could extricate tn
bayonets from their bodies the Who'll
pack OF the war-dogs had surged owe
them. The trench was won.

In some parts of Russia a queer
game is still played which has much
to do with the future lives Of the par
Elephants. Some prominent person In
the village announces that the annual
merry making will be held at his house.
On the appointed day the young men
and women hasten in huge excitement
to the meeting place.
There are songs and games and
dances, but they are simply prelude
to the more important business of the
day.
When the time comes the hostess
leads ar the girls into one room, where
they seat themselves on the benches.
Laughing and chattering, they are each
promptly muffied in sheets by the hos
tess. The head and hair and figure
are completely covered and when this
Is done the girls resemble mummies.
] The young men draw lots and one
by one they enter the room where the
muffied girls sit. Helpless so far as
sight or touch goes, the puzzled lover
tries to find his favorite. Maybe she
| would nelp MIN II ner eyes were hO'
hidden, but she is as helpless as he.
Finally he chooses one and then he
may unveil her. This is the critical
moment and disappointment or rap
ture will be the result of seeing heI
face.
1t is the law and custom that the
man shall marry the girl he has picked
out, and If either backs out heavy
} forfeit must be paid. 1t is said tina
this matrimonial lottery is productive
J OF many happy marriages.

We replied to this Chinesing Chinee

THE AGRA DIAMOND.
odd Manner in Which 1t Was Snug
g1ed Out of India.

Like many other diamonds, the Agra
diamond has had adventures. 1t gets
its name from the fact that it was
taken at the battle of Agra in 1925
by the Emperor Baber, who was the
founder of the Mogul empire in India.
The Marquis Of Donegal was in Agra
in 1857, when the diamond was taken
from the King of Delhi. Donegal was
at the time engaged as secretary and
belonged to the same regiment as the
young officer who obtained posses
sion of the diamond. 1t was resolved
among them to smuggle it home to
England rather than give 1t up and
to share in the loot money. The ques-
ton arose how were they to get II
home
No one seemed able to hit upon a
method that would be likely to meet
with success until the last evening
previous to the departure Of the regi
ment. During the course of dinner
the youngest subaltern suddenly jump
ed up and said: II have It, We will
conceal the diamond in a horse bal
and make the horse swallow It," This
met with general appreciation, a bal
was secured, the inside scooped out
the diamond inserted, the end stopped
up and the horse made to swallow II
When the regiment reached the por
of embarkation the horse was takel
Ill and had to be shot. The diamond
was taken from his stomach ant
brought over to England. 1t was sub
sequently sold to the Duke of Bruins
wick, and since then it has been recu
from a forty-six carat stone to thirty
one and a half carats in order to &c

His Morning Sheet a Collection of Cen
sored Excerpts.
As several inaccurate details con
corning the newspaper reading of thu
Car have appeared of late in the for

may be of interest, for they are abso-

cinl department attached to the foreign

greatest care is taken to make sure
that nothing unsuitable or disturbing
shall meet the Cars eyes.
Excerpts are taken from the foreign
newspapers, In certain cases transla-
tons are made and the cuttings and
translauons are then made up into
newspaper and printed expressly foi
the Car. In addition to this strange
form Of news sheet the Cars have al
ways had their favorlte newspapers
thus Alexander Ill, having been a fell
low colleglan with Prince Meshcher
sky, used to read daily the Grazhdanin
| (Citlzen), which the prince edited and
/ of which the greater part was written
by him.
Nicholas l. had a fancy for reading
the KOlokol, or Bell which came ont
in London and was edited by the Nj
hllist Herzen, who was Jew 10y
race, but a Russian at heart But on
several occasions the court faction sue
ceeded in printing its own copy Of thS
Iolokol and in substituting 1t for the
original; Of course, this was don'

ly pungent in his criticisms of thu
shortcomings Of the court officials.
The type and the paper were coun
