They Live In Siberia and Have .
Mania For Suicide. X a
A Russian correspondent was talk
ing about Siberia. VI 4. 553l 4 5,
In that strange land, he said, '.the
strangest thing is the suicidal tend
ency Of the Chukchees. Among the
Chuk chees, actually, suicide is one Of
the most common forms Of death.
The Chukchees live In northeastern,
Siberia. They are small and copper
colored. They dress in skins and ride.
reindeer, Tallow and raw kidney are
their chief delicacies. In every Chuk-
chez house hangs death coat. sa
"a Chukchee doesn't kill himself BY
his own hand. He appoints his nearest
relatives Ibis wife, son or daughter Ito
do the deed And the delegate never
rebels, never declines this sad and hors
rible task. =. @s 4.
InnumeraMe are the causes Of sui
ctde-jealousy, unrequited love, an in.
durable disease, melancholy, poverty.
and so on 5J5.55
Il knew man who was prosperous

sire for death seized him. In three
moons he said, will go home to my
fathers And he calmly settled his af-
fairs and at the appointed time babe
his wife to knot a cord about his throat
and his two sons to pull upon the cord
till he should be strangled. He died,
they told me, joking. .st M,
"The death coat which hangs in ey-
cry Chukchee house has a hood. It is
for use in suicide. The hood hides the
facial contortions Of the dying.
There are Chukcheey families where
in suicide is hereditary, wherein it is a
point of honor for the sons to kill them
selves, q natural death being regarded
In such families as disgraceful ana
scandalous, a sign Of the most unpar.
donable cowardice. n e q

cidal tendency, are happy and
healthy people, moral, truthful, brave

as it takes courts weeks to investi-

The young son Of Liveryman Rodney
of Bottineau was shot through the
head and instantly killed Thursday
noon by a school companion. The
boys were in the Office OF the barn and
fooling with a 80 calibre revolver when
the accident happened. Nobody was
in the Office at the time, but the two
boys who were attending the barn
while the men were at dinner. Young

Lisbon Free Press: Dan Williams
of Enderlin, who is confined in the
county jail, made one Of the boldest at
tempts at jail breaking Monday morn
ing that the county officers ever heard
of. Williams is in for blind plugging
and thinking of what was ahead of
him in the line of confinement decided
ito leave If possible. He whitfield a key
out OF the end Of broom handle that
would open the big double iron gate,
and with steel saw, cut the top bars
in his cell. The key was perfect and
opened the first door easily but the
lock on the outer door was evidently
a little rusty for it held and Williams
broke off a small splinter of wood
from the key which effectually held
the lock. He then started to saw the
window bars, but did not have time to
finish his work before the arrival of
the officers, who on searching him
found three steel wire saws, two files,
a knife and $25 in money. The officers
state that it was the neatest plan that
ever came to their notice as the key
was perfect in every respect.

North Dakota has 3,4S0 miles of,
railroad within her borders, lib per
cent of the total mileage of the
United States. There are 4.20 miles
of railroad to every 100 square miles
of territory and S7.01 miles to every
10000 of population. Besides the
direct connections east, west and
south, there are six branch lines run
ming to or close to the Manitoba
boundary apd to connections with
Winnipeg lines. That the state has.
been opened up and developed by the
roads is plainly shown by the fact
that previous to 1S75-only thirty
years ago-there were less than 1000
whites in the territory now comprised
by the state, but after that time the
building of our two principal roads be-
gan bringing in settlers until North
Dakota's population amounts to 319,-
LAG, according to the census returns of
1900 The railroads, too, have greatly
favored our shippers, in common with
those of all the western states, by
making such freight rates as enable
our agricultural products to be laid
down in the eastern markets on equal
terms with those grown in regions
much nearer to these markets than
North Dakota is The question of dis
tance is hardly taken into considera-
ton at all in calculating the trans
portation charges on many articles,
the idea being to obtain business by
helping the freight to reach markets
+ where it can be adyantageously sold.
If this arrangement only continues
it should carry with it the continuance
of the present prosperous state Of at
fairs among North Dakota farmers.
It can continue if the present amicable
\ relations between the people and the
y railroad arrangements continues. In
Z the western part of the state a great
deal of railroad building is needed to
develop the country and all over the
state the prosperity of the railroads
depends upon the prosperity of the
people and therefore the necessity of
fair dealing all around
