A drink that is distinctly Missourian
is the gin rickey, which was named
for Joseph X. Hickey, lobbyist, who
was for years around the legislature
at Jefferson City and finally went to
Washington. Colonel" Hickey, as he
was known to members of congress,
was famous story teller. The gin
rickey was of his own concoction and
took his name. He committed suicide
in New York in 1898.
The name "tin roof" can be applied
to any drink. The term was originat-
ed in this way:
Many years ago wag walked into
barroom. that neither history nor
tradition locates. and said:
Give me tin roof"
What kind of drink is that?"
asked the bartender.
"Give me glass and the whisky
bottle and I'll show you," replied the
wag.
Then he poured drink and after
swallowing it. started to walk out.
What about the pay for that drink"
demanded the bartender.
Why. that's a tin roof" said the
wag. "It's on the house."
There are many queer, strange
names for fancy drinks that come over
the bar. The Mamie Taylor" Scotch
whisky drink diluted with ginger ale
and favored with lime, was brought
to Kansas City by the Tammany dele
cation to the National Democratic
convention in 1900.
Horses Neck" a ginger ale drink
favored with lemon peel, originated
In the Bohemian clubs of London. The
name is derived from the long, taper
ing glass in which 1t is served.
New Orleans is famous the world
over for its mixed drinks. An expert
bartender in Chicago has quit the
bar and spends all his time in concoct-
ing new drinks. He is now authority

enty.Five Miles for Coast Traffic.

A Great Northern surveying corps is
locating a direct line from Aneta by
the way of Oberon and Esmond to
Granville on the main line.
This means seventy-five mile cut
off for all coast traffic and indicates
that Devils Lake and other towns on
the main line will be sidetracked so
far as through service is concerned.
The surveying crew will be across the
Devils Lake Indian reservation and in
to Oberon by the last of this month.
1t is generally understood that the
Northern Pacific branch line from
Oberon to Esmond has passed into the
possession of the Great Northern and
will be used in building the line to
Granville. The government permit for
crossing all public domain in the res
ervation was recently filed in Devils
Lake. The surveyors are now thirteen
miles east of Oberon.

EARTH'S CRUST i MENACE
German Scientist Predicts More Dis.
asters Of Seismic Origin.

AS reported in the London Daily
Mail, Herr Laibach of the Berlin
Observatory is of the opinion that the
mine catastrophe in France was con-
nected with certain atmospheric con-
ditions prevailing in Europe on March
10. Furthermore, his observations
lead him to believe that the crust of
the earth in the Eastern Hemisphere
is in a dangerous condition and he
predicts other. disasters to be immin-
ent.
The views of British scientists on
this remarkable theory are naturally
of supreme interest.
Professor Milne, the eminent min
ing engineer and seismologist, thinks
that the French disaster may have con-
nection with the low barometer, but.
not necessarily with the hypogenic OF
subterranean activities which on Jan
uary 81 were marked in Colombia, and
were followed during February by
like disturbances in the West Indies,
where seven cables were broken.
These movements were recorded in
this country, but Professor Milne sees
no reason to think that the Eastern
Hemisphere may respond.
Sir Isambard Owen, principal of the
Armstrong College, Newcastle, states
that he sees no ground for apprehen-
sion SO far as his observations in the
North indicate. Mr.. w. Dyson, the
astronomer-royal for Scotland, tele-
graphs to the Daily Mail: 1--WE have
examined the seismograph record and
find no unusual disturbances"

resentatives are around the market.
Buyers from New England and, Penn
sylvania are here and quite fair ag-
gregate of sales is being accomplished.
There seems to be an undertone of
uneasiness. owing to the manner in
which supplies are vanishing and the
extreme improbability Of replacing
them at local selling quotations. Mer-
chants now reluctantly admit that it
is likely that higher prices than year
ago will rule in the territories on the
new clip and consequently they say
that it will be up to the manufacturer
to produce and market his goods in
conformity with new price schedule.
Territory woods are very limited,
while the demand for them is. unabat-
ed. Worsted woods are most actively
called for and fun prices are being
paid. Sales of all grades are small.
Fine staple is worth 72c and 73c, and

ing is strong at CSC and Toe and fine

FIGHT FOR A
YOUNG GIRL
Iowa Man Attempts to Secure
Possession of a Bowbells
Miss But Fails.

BOwbells, N. D., April 1O.-One OF
the most peculiar actions ever brought
to the attention of the district court
in this county was that which was
tried before Judge e. B. Goss in cham
bers at Minot.
Nels C. Anderson, a wealthy farmer
residing in Palo Alto county, Ia.
sought to secure possession of lingo
Show, a 17-year-old Bowbells girl. On
Wednesday, Anderson made applica-
ton in behalf of the Show girl, for a
writ of habeas corpus.
According to the story related in
court by Anderson, the Skow girl had
been a member of his family since she
was 5 years of age. At that time her
mother died, and she was taken in by
the Anderson family and had been
taken care of by them up until about
year ago, when she was taken to
Bowbells by her father. The girl, ac-
cording to Anderson's story had en-
deared herself to his wife, himself
and the other members of the family
and they did not desire to give her up.
after she had been member Of the
family for so many years.
Jeppa Show. father of lingo, who
was the defendant in the habeas cor
pus proceeding, put up the defense
that the girl was his daughter, and
that at the time she was taken into
the Anderson family, it was stipulated
that when she was confirmed in the
Lutheran church, she should go to
live with her father. A year ago Mr..
Show went to Iowa and returned to
Bowbells with his daughter. The idea
of losing the Show girl proved very
unpleasant to Mr.. Anderson, and last
fall he made a visit to this country
for the purpose of inducing lingo to
return to Iowa with him. The father
of the girl, however. strenuously OBJ
jected to this proceeding and Ander-
sons visit proved futile.
On returning to Iowa, Anderson
started a suit against Skow for $4,000
damages for the maintenance of the
girl since she was years old. This
suit was dropped about two weeks
ago, but was followed this week with
the application of writ of habeas cor
pus. Anderson Is a man about so
years of age and is reputed to be very
wealthy.
While on the witness stand, lingo
Skow informed the court that she be-
ieved she would prefer to live with
the Anderson family as she did not
like this country. She testified that
her father had always treated her
kindly and that she never wanted for
anything. The fact, however, that she
had resided for so many years with
one family, naturally led her to the
belief that she would be happier with
the Anderson family. The father of
the girl was very reluctant to part
with his only child and he informed
the court that he desired to retain pos
session of the child. After hearing
the testimony, Judge Goss denied the
writ and the young girl will remain
with her father.
