BLIZZARD AGAIN

SNOW STORM sWEEPS NORTH

ING TRAFFIC.
GALES PILE UP HIGH DRIFTS

st. Paul, Jan. 30.-The railroads of
he Northwest We're again hampered
yesterday in their efforts to move COM
merce by a blizzard which swept
across the North Dakota prairies. 1t
was more or less stormy throughout
the greater part of the state, although
the regions traversed by the Great
Northern and the 500 were particu-
larly affected. The Northern Pacific,
the state, was let down easier, but the
storm was bad enough to make trou-
BILE on it's lines.
The wind began in North Dakota
about o'clock Sunday, blowing stiff
gale during the night. 1t drove the
dry snow before it like chaff, until the
whole conutry was enveloped in
whirling cloud Of frozen particles.
Cuts Again Filled.
Some snow fell during the gale. but
there was enough loose snow on the
ground to supply the wind win
enough material to play with. The
white cyclone got furious toward morn
ing, and the trains with great difficulty
were able to make any progress
through the snowdrifts which the
wind piled up in the cuts and across
the tracks.
The rotaries were kept going, but
the wind drove the snow back again
on the tracks until in some places the
marks OF the plows were obliterated
in a few seconds. The wind de-
creased during yesterday, so that the
| slows had a chance to keep the lines
clear for the passage of trains.

So urgent was the call that the

+ ern Schoolma'ams. s@
The story of the kidnapping Of two
Eastern school teachers by members
of the school board OF an adjoining
township because of the scarcity OF
teachers has brought flood of. letters
to Huron from young women in the
East who want positions as teachers
where they have a chance to be kid
mapped by prospective husbands.
Z. Superintendent Dubois Of the Huron
schools is the person addressed.
! Ella e. OF Trenton, N. j., writes:
'If a school teacher has chance
to be kidnapped, will come. I re-
gret exceedingly that my people re-
quired me to spend SO many years at
school and college at great expense,
only to make me school teacher,
now on the verge Of spinsterhood.
They might better have allowed me
to become the consort Of some man
worthy or me.
This is paragraph from l. c. AS
letter, dated Camden, N. j.:
II would like a school for year or
so, but could not contract unless the
school is in a community where there
are a good many bachelors of some
means, for teaching school is not the
only object I have in going West"
Another from Evansville: 81 wish
to be kidnapped from Evansville. I
have no objection to a frontier life;
in fact, think I would enjoy the ex-
citement and freedom usually had by
pioneers. 1t would be particular de-
light to me, am sure, if my lot could
be with a community where there are
a number of brave, hardy young men
young fellows with snap and energy.
Can you provide a school for me in
such a settlements"

Court Decides That Willow Lakes Sa-
loon Licenses Are Void.
Owing to the fact that the vote upon
the question of granting licenses to
saloons resulted in a tie at the regu-
lar municipal election at Willow
Lakes last spring, that place, after ex-
-tensive litigation over the legality OF
the licenses which. Notwithstanding
the tie vote, were granted, is now
without any saloons.
It was the opinion of many resi-
dents of the place that the licenses
issued were illegal and void. The
question was taken before Judge Mar
quis Of the circuit court who has rem
dered decision holding that the
licenses we're illegal. In accordance
with this decision, the two saloons
which have been doing business in
the place during the past eight
months have closed their doors, the
town council having revoked the
licenses The status of town where
there has been a tie vote on the
license question has never been
passed upon by the state supreme
court. 1t is possible that the decision
in the present case may be appealed.

INVENT NEW rHhEsAER.

Great Things cisinned for an Aberdeen
Machine.
Herman Cook and William Cook, who
live near Aberdeen, are endeavoring to
interest capital in the building of a
trial machine in the nature of an auto
mobile threshing machine, which they
have invented. The brothers say that
Eastern capitalists have, offered to
build the machines on royalty basis,
but that they prefer to commence ope-
rations in Sioux City, if possible, be-
cause of it's proximity to the Western
harvest fields.
The invention of Herman Cook
promises to do away with the old trac-
ton engine with long belt which now
issused to run separators. The new
machine, which uses gasoline as mo-
tive power, is placed directly under the
cylinder of the thresher and is so at
tached that 1t not only operates the
separator but propels the machine
from place to place as WELL One OF the
great savings claimed by Its inventor
for tho new machine will be In labor.
Whereas a separator man, a coal haul
er, an engineer and water boy are
required to operate a thresher, by the
new machine all of this can be done by
one man. 1t is asserted that IS per
cent of the expense, power and labor
required for running asthresher under
the old conditions will be saved by the
new invention.

''that Our machine will revointlonlze
the threshing business. II our inven-
ton is the success we believe, 1t Will
