Bad Time for Railroads.

The present weather prevailing is Of
the worst kind for the railroads. Ac-
=. cording to q prominent railroad Off
cial it is somewhat expensive. He
says:
This winter opened up with roar
ing blizzard and tied up traffic for a
week. This alone was an enormous
amount of expense to the railroads
and the fine weather that followed was
alone responsible for the triffic pick
ing up. The last few weeks, however,
are the worst have seen in a long
time. The fine, hot weather comes
one day and fills the roadbed with
water, and a freezing temperature
much below zero the next is most dis
astrous to the railways, as it pulls
up the spikes, loosens rails and in
every other manner conceivable does
damaging harm to the track. How
ever,' he dryly remarked, .'there is
only six weeks more of it and then it
will be all over for few months,
when the washouts will start"

Rlded the Mail.

The letter pouch to be placed on No.
3 on the 500 that leaves Erskine for
the north at $40 in the morning was
cut open there and that a registered
letter was known to be missing ana
they may be much more that the Off
Gals there know nothing about what
ever. The affair took place on Thurs
day and the officials there have been
keeping sharp lookout ever since,
but there has been no arrests made as
yet Inspector Frye was notified and
left this morning for Erskine where he
will investigate at once with the view
of apprehending the guilty parties.
The sack was taken to the 500 depot
where 1t was left and it was not until
the railway clerk went to handle the
sack that anything wrong was discov-
cred and the cut in the sack was
found. Just the amount of registered
found. Just the amount the register
ed letter contained is not now known.

TIE Hat Came Raek.

Landlord Burke Of the Antlers is a
new hat ahead. A few days ago, 4
guest walked to the desk to pay his
bill and announced that on a former,
visit, something like a month ago, he
had lost his hat at the hotel and had
gotten .another mans. The genial
landlord made dash for the head
gear and announced that it belonged
to him. Diving beneath the lining he
f1shed out a small piece of pasteboard
with a bright red diamond shaped
spot in the center and the landlords
name onNthe margin. The visitors hat
was found safely slowed away in the.
baggage room, and it was returned to
the owner. Burke had purchased a
new hat in the meantime that could
now be secured at secondhand prices.

Important Case Transferred.

The case of r. R. c. Crowell VS.. l..
G. Black ct. al. will be transferred
from the district court of Mclean
county to the federal court The pre-
liminary steps for the removal have
been taken and it is probable that the
case will be set on the calendar for
trial at the Bismarck term of the fed
eral court. The action promises to be
one of the most important tried in
North Dakota in many years. The de-
PENDANTS are all prominent men. Mr..
Black is former law partner of Sen
ator Foraker and among the other de-
PENDANTS is ex-Attorney General Har-

The Feast Of Blasius.

Saturday at st. Michaels Catholic
church, Father Conaty observed the
Feast of st. Blasius both morning and
evening. While, the origin of the day
and its significance is known to many,
there are more people even among the
Catholics themselves who do not know
the origin of the day. Blasius or
Blaise as he is sometimes called, is a,
saint or martyr of the church. He was
bishop of Sebaste in Cappidocia at
the time of the terrible prosecutions
by Licinnius. Blasius hid in a crevice
of rock in the mountains in safety
until one day he was found by the
Perfest Agricola while out hunting.
The martyr was scourged with iron
combs and finally beheaded, as he
would not repent. He died in BIG.
He is the saint of the wool combers,
as he was scourged by the combs used
by tie carders. The custom of bless
ing the threats originated from the
legend that Blasius saved rich wild
ow's son from death by pulling fish
bone out of his throat. The blessing
Of the Threats saves from sore
threats, etc.

Gun Play at Fertile.

Word received in the city today of
what might be termed the widest mix
up that was pulled off at Fertile on
Saturday. 1t was one of the hair. rails
ing variety and the people there are
again of the opinion that they are on
the map. In a saloon row which was
decidedly hot one man named Nell
son assaulted one Haugen, an elevator
man there, and pulling a gun fired
several shots into. the air which had
the effect of putting the natives in the
tallest timber that could be found in
that section of the country. Nelson
was placed under arrest, but an at
tempt was made to smooth the matter
over and settlement was effected.
On a complaint of disorderly conduct
he was fined stiff sum the next MORN

tions given.

One Needed In Grand Forks.

The new snow plow received by the
street railway company at Fargo is a
machine that has been generally ap-
proved by street railway companies
and is known as the double end nose
plow." The pillow parts are detachable
and that makes the machine very USE
full for emergencies. and occasions
when big crowds have to be handled,
as locomotive for pulling trailers.
Street railway people declare that they
can handle any old kind of a snow
storm and keep the system open, or
get it opened in Il very short space of
time, after 1; bad storm. 1t would be
good investment for the local street
car company to buy such a pillow. The
sums of money being paid shovelers
in vain attempt to keep the track
open would surely buy such pillow.

Had u Bad Fall.

The ice sidewalks around the city
are the cause of many amusing scenes
and one of the accidents which hap
pens about every five minutes took
place on Demers avenue last night. AS
one Of the prominent lawyers of this
side of the river was going down that
street large ponderous gentleman,
who was going at dog trot, slipped
just as he was even with the legal
light and their feet came together
with crash. For few minutes it
looked as if one member of the North
Dakota bar was to be eliminated
from any future breathing on this
wicked world, but the persuasive ar
guments of the lawyer soon pacifed
them and they got up and shook hands.

Making a Good Record.

Thomas Campbell, general manager
of the Pembina Cement company,
came in from the company's plant
near Milton Saturday. The cold
weather is somewhat retarding the
progress of the immense improve
ments now under way at the plant,
but the company will be in shape to
fill all the orders that have been liter
ally pouring in for. some time. The
present outlook is that while the plant
has been increased to ten times its
former capacity, every pound of the
product will be sold.

Told a Strange Story.

Last evening Maurice Malone, chief
clerk of the United States land office
at Crookston and Guy Thornberg, who
travels for threshing company, were
on the train bound for Duluth. They
contended that they had just returned
from the west and brought greetings
frem valley people now living there.
However, their statement that they
came in on No. 2 and that it got into
the city at two or three o'clock yes
terday .morning-it being late they
could not tell just when-and the fact
that No. is not due in the city until
4:25 a. m. and that it did not get in
yesterday until 10 O'Clock, makes their
western story sound a tritle strange.

THE CITY IN BRIEF
Judgment Entered.

Judgment for costs in the, sum of
1878 as entered against the plaintiff
in the district court this morning in
the case of Redor Wardner against the
Great Northern. Wardner was severe
" hurt at Grand Forks, but secured
verdict for $4,000 from a district court
jury here last spring. The Great
Northern alleged contributory negli-
igence and took an appeal to the SUI
.preme court where the judgment was
reversed and the costs, amounting to
the above amount, ordered taxed
against the plaintiff. Whether this
ends the case is not known, but the
plaintiff may argue a motion for new
trial Fargo Forum.

Jack London,

The appearance of Jack London at

brought out large audience despite
the stormy weather. Mr.. London was
somewhat of disappointment as
lecturer, in fact there was nothing
particularly worthy about his MARIA
tives of personal adventure, multi
fistic encounters and tramp escapades
from an intellectual standpoint at
least. The author of The Call of the
Wild" can hardly be considered as a
lecturer of any particular merit but
rather an Indifferent relater of per-
sonal experiences which might hap
pen to anyone who preferred drifting
to following settled purpose.

The history of the farmers institute

such returns. With the farmers in
stitutes, the Tri-state Grain and Stock
Growers conventions, the seed train
specials and the different state organ
izations along special lines there has
been revolution in the state within
