DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
Death OF Mrs. Loretta Side Bliss
and Destruction OF Old Home
at Same Time

The Minneapolis papers of last Sat-
urday contained the announcement of
the death OF Mrs Loretto Sidle Bliss.
a former resident of and a one time
social leader in Aberdeen. The late
MIS-. Bliss was the daughter Of J. X.
Side, an old time rich resident Of
Minneapolis. She was married in the
latter los to G. A. Bliss and came
with him to Aberdeen, where he was
engaged in business with Gen. S. Fl.
Jumper in the pioneer days. Bliss
built the residence property on West
hill now occupied by G. f. Easton,
and so long as prosperity attended
him both he and the late Mrs. Bliss
were quite prominent in society.
Later they removed to the Pacific
coast, where Mr.. Bliss died. The
late Mrs. Bliss returned to Mime
apoliS, where she lived up to the time
Of her death.
The following from the Sunday
Minneapolis Journal will be read with
interest:
"To prepare the ground for the new
home Of the Minneapolis club, work
men yesterday began tearing down the
old J. X. Side home at Seventh street
and Second venue S. The old house
has an interesting history and in its
time was one of the show residences
Of the city. 1t was built about 1863
by a wealthy Philadelphian for his
son, who came west for the benefit OF
his health. That was a time when
Minnesota was better known as a
health resort than for the industries
which have since brought it proml-
nence. Some years before the cree

made their home on what is now the
site Of Temple Court. Later they re-

Dry Years Coming

lie VINO banks on continued wet
seasons, such as we have had now for
several years, and needs not the les.
sons OF the past, will pretty surely
come to grief some day. Years vary,
as to weather, of course. Periods of
years come which are ''wet''. other
"dry" and hot summers alternate
with cool. Through it all we should
remember that in fifty years out Of a
hundred years the climate remains
the same and that We need not expect
to change it.
This subject has been discussed con-
siderably Of late and in the Sundav
Minneapolis Journal of the oath. inst.
Robert DeCourcy Ward, assistant
professor of climatology at Harvard,
writes on the question SIS our Gil
mate Changing, n paragraph of
which is given herewith.
The idea that the agency of man in
cutting down forests and in cultjya-
ting new soil has resulted in a change
in the climate Of the United States
finds no support in The recorded in
strumental data. Further, the
records Of the closing of rivers, such
as the Hudson, to navigation during
the last hundred years or so show that
the dates nowadays average no later
than formerly.
If a list was carefully compiled Of
heavy snowstorms, Of droughts, of
floods, Of severe cold, Of mild winters,
OF heavy rains, and of other similar
meteorological phenomena for one Of
the older sections Of the country, be-
ginning with the date Of the first
white settlements and extending
down to the present day, we should
doubtless have the following situa-
ton: II the list was divided into two
parts, each division containing an
equal number of years, it would be
found, speaking in general terms, that
for every mild winter in the first
division there would be a mild winter
in the second; for every long con.
tinued drought In the first group OF
years there would be a long-continued
drought in the second; and for every
"old- fashtoned" winter in the second.
And so on through the list. In other
words, weather phenomena and eli
mate do not seem to have changed
from the time Of the landing Of the
earliest Pilgrims on the inhospitablt
shores Of New England down to the
hour when the last Italian or Jewlsl
immigrant landed at New York from
the steerage Of an Atlantic liner.

has gone to Cleveland to serve summons

committee to elect vice chairman,
lie was frequently passed. In short It
was fight to finish between Addicks
and United States Senator Alice, with
the former vainly attempting to wrest
from the latter the control Of the state
at the coming election.
While it was supposed prior to the
meeting that an attempt would Be
made to GUST Senator Alice as chairman
it was agreed by the Addicksites that
such step would not be taken at this
time, such action being left to the re-
publicans in general at the coming
state convention which most surely will
deprive Delaware's lone senator from
further retaining control Of the repub-
ican party in this state.
An argument between Addicks and
former Secretary Of State Layton, at
present holding a federal position at
Washington thru the grace Of Senator
Alice, almost resulted in blows, Ad-
dicks accusing Layton Of having been
bought by Alice thru appointment to a
$4,000 2 year office. Layton, with
clinched first, replied to Addicks that

The contention which caused dissen-
sion was resolution offered by Layton
looking toward party harmony or unfit
cation of the two factions. It was bit

the fact that It places within the hands

New York, July THAT the former
controller Of the currency, James H.
Eckels of Chicago, who was prominent
in the monetary affairs Of the country
under President Cleveland, has been
slated for president of the New York
Life to succeed Alexander Orr, was
asserted openly in insurance circles
yesterday. 1t was said that President
Orr had served notice on the trustees
that he would not stand for reelection.
The reason assigned for selecting Mr..
Eckels for a place in the board, it was
said, was that he might become iden-
titled with the company before being
elected president, should the old man
agement win out at the election in
December.
The charter Of the New York Life
provides that the board shall consist
of twenty-four trustees and presi-
dent, who shall be ex-offcio a trustee.
Therefore, anyone outside the board
may be elected president, but those who
desire to see Mr.. Eckels the head of
the company think it would be better to
have him in the company before that
It will be easy enough, they say, to
fill vacancy in the board after he has
been elected. There is no longer any
doubt that President Orr intends ia
leave his office as soon as the new
board Is elected.

MOODY IS AFTER
CAPITAL ICEMEN
Federal Grand Jury Investigates
Like Inquiries May Be Made
in Other Cities.
journal Special Service.


cial to the Tribune says: AS a direct
result of the initiative Of Attorney
General Moody, the federal grand Jury
here has begun an Investigation into
the operations of the ice trust with
p VI lew to criminal prosecution of the
local officials under the antitrust law.
It has been thought this prosecution,
in line with others thruout the country,
would call attention to the national
character of the proceedings and pos
gibly pave the way for similar action
by the federal grand jury in every city
where the price Of ice has been unfairly
run up in the community.
According to the general understand
Ing, there is no national ice trust oper-
stance. There has been developed, how
ever, a series of agreements to divide
competition into particular fields with
regard to national ice The greatest
ofenses have been in the combination
of ice manufacturers in the different
cities. These have been able to con-
troll the price, especially in southern
fields and shrinkage in value makes it
impossible to place high price upon
the natural product.
For week or two Washington has
been suffering from what dealers call
an ice famine. Recent investigation
has led Commissioner West of the Dis
trict Of Columbia to conclude that the
famine has been entirely artificial and
the ice trust, which imports some Of
the natural products from Kennebec
by shiploads, but which also controls
the manufacture Of artificial ice, en-
gineered the shortage for the ex press
purpose Of furnishing excuse for an adj
vance in price.
The investigation proceeded far
enough to satisfy the attorney general
there was good ground fol-. prosecution
under the Sherman law, and he directed
the district attorney to bring the mat.
ter to the attention Of the grand Jury.
