to the Telegraph of that city: 1.-THE

she filled with water and after rolling
about helplessly turned over to port
and then settled down. Immediately
afterward she broke her back and at
1890 p. m. there was but little more
than her funnel and the deckhouse
visible, above the water. Capt. Nc
Ginty was on board and stood by till
the last moment, but when she broke
her back and there was nothing fur

saw her turn over and break he was

Bachelor British Officers,

An interesting discussion is going
on in the Indian press on the subject
of the growing disinclination of young
officers to undertake the responsible.
ties of matrimony, and the controversy
has raised the question as to whether
the married or the bachelor officer is
the better. On one side it is urged
that young married man is keener,
steadier and more reliable than his
less fortunate unmarried comrades,
yet many commanding officers have
strong objection to their subalterns
marrying, their contention being that
it detracts from the efficiency of reg
iment If many Junior officers are mar
ried.

one of those who object to young off,

this principle his two aides-de.
camp who are about to enter the
welded state will be obliged to
leave his service. The married
officer does not support the mess,
but his expenses in other ways
are about three times as much
as when he was single. The item of
clothes for himself and wife is, it is
urged, more than three times as large
as when he had only to provide for
himself.

ney Is. Interested.

Attorney J. A. Hendicks of Fosston
has gone to Ada where he is to meet
Indian Agent Michlet of White Earth
in regard to the procedure to be taken
relative to the dissolution of "Mah-
nomen county" which carried at the
last election.
The fight will be made on the
ground that the newly created coun-
ty has not the required statutory pop
ulation for the creation of new
county. Mr.. Hendricks has been en-
ployed by some of the White Earth
people, who are afraid of the heavy
taxes to be imposed upon them in case
the new county is established.
There will be only two townships of
the sixteen in which the real estate
could be taxed under the most favor
abb construction of the law, and as
the personal property taxable in said
territory is very small, the taxes
naturally would be very high.
The governor has signified his will
ingness to hear the opposition before
issuing the proclamation creating and
establishing the new county, and in
case the proclamation should be is
sued the opposition intends to take the
matter into court for final decision.

That's a pretty big squash" re-
