train was stalled in the snowdrift on
the Great Northern road a few miles
west Of Fargo, N. D., last week par
ty of a dozen volunteers left the
train in search Of food for the passen-
gers and while out, came to a farm
house where they found every member
of the family, four in number, frozen
to death. In one part of the house
were the bodies of the farmer and his
wife, and near by the corpses Of their
two children frozen stiff Every olt
OF furniture had been used for fuel
and as last resort the door separat-
ing the two rooms was unhinged and
had also been burned. There appear

of the stricken family was not learned.
In answer to the above item, the
correspondent of the A. P. replied:

St. VALENTINES DAY
WILL SOON Be
Feb. IA is the Date Sending
of Valentines is
Diminishing.

The old habit into which St. Valen-
tines day fell many years ago is still
with it, and, as is the habit, the day
will come around again this year on
Feb a. St. Valentines day has been
coming around on Feb. II for the last
nineteen centuries. but each succeed
ing year finds the observance of the
day diminishing.
According to the legend. ST. Valen-
tine was beheaded on Feb. IA at Rome,
under Cladius. The old notion was
was that birds began to couple on the
day, and hence arose the custom of
young people of both sexes choosing
each other as valentines" for the en-
suing year by species of lottery, and
of sending love missives to each
other.
Grand Forks stores are again carry
ing valentines this year, but the stocks
are not as large as previous years,
nor as many stores selling them. VAL
entines sent nowadays are very un-
like those used in ''the olden days."
Those used by the Twentieth Century
people are usually printed missives of
an amatory or satirical nature, sent
by post anonymously. Some valen-
tines are highly ornamental and
artistic, while others are caricatures,
designed to reflect on the personal
appearance, habit or character, etc.
of the person to whom they are adj
dressed. These valentines, highly COL
ored, with short paragraph attached
do not make the most acceptable piece
Of mail.
The practice of sending valentines
appears to be diminishing every year.
Postal returns indicate a great falling
off in the number of valentines sent
in the past decade, one large Office
showing decrease from 10000 to
$4,000 within five years. The send
ing of caricatures has also fallen off,
and the yelled insults thus offered has
been creditably reduced. The send
ing of valentines is harmless folly,
which is dying out, and the custom will
within a number of years be but
memory.
st. Valentines day is made the date
on which numerous social gatherings
are held, and Grand Forks will have
its usual number this year. Already
plans are being made for several big
parties, notable among which is the
joint entertainment to be put on by
the Y. NJ. c. A. in the big Y. NJ. C. A.
building.

The Sultan Of sulu.

Persons who fancy that chorus girls
do not have to work would be convinc-
ed to the contrary if they could spend
an evening behind the scenes. Take
for example George AIDES comic opera
Sultan of Sulu." In this play there
are nineteen changes of costume for
the chorus alone. OF course not all
the giJs have to change fifteen times,
for different ones appear in the vari-
Gus musical numbers. but all have
to participate in several songs and
dances and throughout the perform
ance there is hasty scrambling to and
from the stage and dressing rooms.

CHAMBERS HANDS
 ONE ID KNOCKERS Montgomery Man Says He is
 Running the Club
THAT TRANSFER OF GAMES
President Chambers Shows That He Is Trying to Hold Up the Prestige of the Game and Make
 Small Profit.

Montgomery, August 9-(Special.)- President K. J. Chambers hands out the knockers" of the baseball circles one or two rather hot ones with regard to the transfer of the three games to Atlanta last week. He suggests that if any of them are not satisfied with the action of the management they can. do one of two thngs-put up the money to get control of the team or take tnelr % cent pieces and keep away from the ball park. He also says that the beginning of the sea- son, when the club was on It's uppers and he put his own and other peoples money in it. he was to have entire control and management, with the advice of the di- rectors, and he proposes to exercise said control, whether 1t pleases the lickers or not
 MT. Chambers then takes up in argu- mentative way his position. He points out that heretofore the club has not been able to draft men in the fall or buy them because of lack of funds. This year he hopes with the transfer of games and the sale of two or three good men to be able not only to get the team on solid tnan- clal footing but have enough money left to buy and draft men who will make the Montgomery team next year winner. Only In this way can he bring this about, and he seems to think that the fans ought to be wiling to help rather than hold back especially as the attendance at Capitol Park has not been what should be for a team playing such ball as the locals are putting up.
 Having been charged with thus lending to Atlanta an advantage of Memphis in the pennant race. MT Chambers said that he was willing to transfer the games with Memphis next month to that city if the club there would guarantee the same pro-
 fit to the locals that ,-,me from the At lanta series, that being net S13S2. This being the case it Is very likely he will make an arrangement With Memphis for the transfer the fans over there are hot after the rag.
 Seabaugh talked back to Malarky at Atlanta and has been suspended for the balance of the season. He has been paid off and has gone back to Chicago. This , will leave the team with only Bl-l Hausen to do the catching until another man is secured It seems that there was some trouble about the signals for balls be- tween Seabaugh, who was catching. and Malarlly, who was In the box.
 Neal Ball, the star hard-hitting short stop, has not yet been sold, but will likely be soon.. Several good offers have been made for him, much as 5000 being bid. Wahlloben, the hard-htting first base man of Macon. who has been bought by Montgomery, has been wired to report at once, if arrangements can be made with Macon to let him come.

New Orleans, August 9.-(Speeal. Al though scoring twice as many hits off Manuel as were recorded against Tuck Turner, the Coal Barons got lost in the wilderness of the bases and failed to reach home with runs sufficient to win. "Unluclky" Turner strove magniflcently to win this game, but his "sooty'' slagpilo followers seemed to be too wobbly on their feet to make the hits count.
 Latimer was injured early in the game and was succeeded by Garvin, while Will helm took the latter's place in left field
 The Pelicans piled up three runs In the second on a combination of hits and er- TOTS by Birmingham's infield and added another in the fifth, but the local fans got a big scare In the sixth when heavy successive hitting by the visitors sent Smith, Walters and Meek across the plate.
 The Pellcans walked up after the score had nearly been tied and by an extra bit of good fielding retired the Barons. The visitors made strenuous efforts to add at least one more run after the sixth inning but "Moxie" Manuel used com bnation of ginger and headwork and made them think their bats were full of ho1es

INDOORS MAKE ATTACK
 ON ENEMY'S CAMP
FRENCH TROOPS WITH MACHINE GUNS DRIVE BACK THE WILD HoRSEMEN, WHO QUICKLY Dls- APPEAR.

Casa Blanca, Sunday, August 1S.-An alarm was sounded at sunrise, when gal loping groups of Moors were observed on General Drude's western flank. French sharpshooters and light cavalry were im- mediately sent to the front. followed by detachment of Spahls. At o'clock the engagement began, after which steady volleys from the French and the Spahis, supported by the guns of the cruiser Glo- ire. soon cleared the beach of the enemy. In the meantime the French artillery had been exploding shrapnel shells among bo- dies of horsemen further south. Towards II o'clock the Moors broke and scattered in all directions and eventually disap- peared.
 At General Drudes headquarters the at tack was regarded as a reconnaissance as the main body of the hostile tribesmen remained concealed behind ridge. From the terrace of the French consulate red dolmans, worn by the regular Moroccan troops, were distinctly discerned among the Moorsh horsemen. It was considered uncertain, however whether they were regulars or deserters who had retained their uniforms
