Is NOW A PRINCESS.
Ohio Woman Adopted by Tuscarora
Indians.

There arrived in Salem yesterday
woman with a remarkable career.
Madame Marie Louise De Longevine
was born in Canada, but while she
was but "A small child her parents re-
moved to Xenia, o.. and afterwards to
Columbus, says the Salem Journal.
At the breaking out of the war her
father raised a regiment, the 65th
O. V. l., and was its colonel. Miss
De Longevine showed great musical
ability, and was thoroughly educated
i'm that line, her education being COM
pleted in Europe.
She returned to this country and
soon after was formally adopted into
the Tuscarora tribe of Indians and
given the rather musical name of
Princess Nenemoocha. She has the
papers showing her adoption, with
the signatures of the chiefs attested
by court officers.
After her adoption by the tribes
she visited Europe and, at the invi-
tation of Queen Victoria, not only
played for that august parsonage, but
gave the Tuscarora war dance in cos
tune. The particular object of her
visit here is to see the governor in
an effort to secure the pardon Of Ed
ward Alpin, who is in the peniten-
tiary. She says Alpins only brother
died in the Philippines, and that his
mother is dying of a cancer on hei
face, with no one TO care for her oil

Madame De Longevine has the feat
ures of Martha Washington, and thu
resemblance is heightened by mag
nificent growth of hair, now almos
white. that reminds one of the day
of wigs and pompadours and powder
She is charming conversationalist
and surely young Alpin could wish NJ

She is an ardent white ribboner, be

TAFT PARTY OFF FOR IsTHM US
Secretary Wants to See Where tive
Money Has Gone.

Norfolk, Va, oct. 2S.-Secretary o.
War Taft and his party this morning
went aboard the cruiser Columbia at
Hampton Roads, to sail for Colon,
where they are expected to arrive on
November 2. Besides Secretary Taft
the party includes Colonel Edwards,
OF the Insular Bureau, General John
+. story retired, president of the for
titication board, Colonel Black of the
engineers, Major George Thales, re-
corder of the fortification board, and
w. w. Mischler, Secretary Taft's ste
nographer.
Before his departure Secretary Taft
said he would take quarters on shore
and see all there was to see along the
canal zone. After a week on the 18TH
mus the whole party will sail for
home on November 9. The purpose
in going to Panama, Secretary Taft
said, was, first to see what actually
had been done since he was there "a
year ago. He also intended to know
just where the money has gone that
had been expended for the canal ac-
count. He desired to be able. when he
returned, to tell the public precisely
the status of work on the canal. After
seeing just what had been done and
the difficulties in the way of active
construction, he said, he hoped to be
able to deal with administrative ques-
tions concerning the canal effectively
and satisfactorily, as we'll from the
standpoint of the engineer as that of
the business man.

mental acre was grown in which the
minimum size of the beets was two
pounds.
There is a distinct difference in
taste between the beets from the low
attitudes and those from the higher
up the latter tasting decidedly of
sugar, while in the former no sweet
taste was perceptible to the tongue.
Specimens Of beets from the exhibits,
selected from the highest and lowest
attitudes, have been sent to the chem

at Washington for tests to determine
the exact difference between the two.

Roosevelt Cabin.

Bismarck Tribune: Now that the
Portland fair is approaching its close
the question arises, what is to become
of the Roosevelt cabin? 1t has been
suggested that it be re-erected in the
capitol grounds and turned over to the
state historical society. which seems a
very proper disposition of the relic. So
long as the cabin lasts it will be an in
teresting sight to visitors to the capitol,
not only because it once belonged to
Theodore Roosevelt, but because of the
object lesson it teaches in that palaces
and wealth are NOT essential stepping
stones to fame and high position in our

Shea for Marshal.

Fargo Forum:-James F. She's,
will be the next United States mar
shal for the district Of North Dakota.
This was the effect Of the statement
made yesterday to Forum reporter
oiy United States Senator IIansbrough.
.sHe will not take the office until
Dec. IT, said Senator Hanshrough,
''and, in the meantime, Gilbert w.
Haggert will act. He will close up
the affairs Of the office as far as bis
father was concerned and then the
appointment of Mr.. Shea will be
announced.
.'Any applicants for the position :
Yes, lots of them have sprung up
s.nce tie death tf John e. Haggart.,
But Mr. Shea was the only candidate
for the Office prior to the death of
Mr.. Haggart. He did not intend to
he candidate against Mr.. Haggart,
but the understanding was that lie
wanted the position in case Mr.. Hag.
CART would decline to accept re-
appointment.
..Mr. Shea has heen endorsed by
Senator McCumber who is his par.
ticular friend. Senator McCumbe1
and / are friends and the appoint
ment of Mr.. Shea will, therefore,
meet with the approval of both Mr.
Mc( umber and myself"
The appointment of Shea has been
predicted and will not come as 8
surprise. He has been prominen
in politics in the southern part o
the state for years and tue appoint
ment is considered a just reward fo1
valuable services to his party.
1t is probable that MIR. Shea vii

Rainfail ,ncre essias In North Dakota.

The average rainfall in North Da-5
kota seems to be increasing since l8oo]
and the old pioneers are about ready to
believe. that the reason is the slower
evaporation. of the moisture now in the
soil and the reception of all the rainfall
in the soil, due to the thick mat Of grass
that now covers the entire face of the
country, and to more extended cultiva-
ton of the soil itself.
| There is. no good reason why the en-
tire area of North Dakota should not be.
amply sufficient for as certain an annual
crop as any northwestern state including
Minnesota, Wisconsin, northern Iowa
and South Dakota. z. s,N ts
For hundreds if not thousands of years
the aboriginal inhabitants of our great
plains east Of the foot hills in Montana
have burned off the prairie grass for a
quicker 81 :. of grass.in the spring.
Within the last4fve or six years this has
been effectually prevented and the
result is clearly in evidence. The rain
fall soaks into the soil instead of run
ming off the parched dry surface into
sloughs and ponds. About all the snow
is held in the grass and melts slowly
into the soil in the spring. The duck
and goose ponds are disappearing and
hay meadows are taking their places.
The rainfall which now thoroughly
saturates the ground, evaporates slowly
and in midsummer nourishes crops.
Before grass covered the country in
the thick mat it now does, and before
the soil was as extensively cultivated,
this condition did not exist, as regards
the moisture in the soil, and the above
seems to be the great reason why these
conditions of our "treeless, barren
|Prairie" formerly described by Gen
Hazen as semi-arid desert have been
transformed into a fertile, prosperous
farm country whose lands will make the
: fortunes of their owners, their children
and their children's children.
i As showing the increased rainfall
! figures for the II years prior to 1895
show an average of 2o.62 inches. The
q last six years show the average has in.
II creased to nearly "a inches which hissex-
4 planned as above by the new land undsi
Toultivation and the growing Of grass 81
the prairies.
I The probabilities are that North Da
! kota, in the central and western por
tions, will have in the near future, bar
/, ring occasional droughts that effect the
J whole country, abundance of rainfall
) and moisture in the ground for crops
J that will make the region the creates

Z States.
