CONDUCTORS DON'T LOOK .
Passengers Get Left on the South Loop
Trim.

There are a good many complaints
that the conductors of the southbound
cars, which now go exclusively via the
courthouse loop, are not quite as at
tentive to approaching passengers just
when they are about to leave, after
the eight minutes stop as they might
be. Very frequently now passengers
who are hurrying across the street at
the intersection of Broadway and N
p. avenue, get left, even though they
are within few feet of the car, where
as if the conductor would just look
back a half minute pause would allow
passengers to dodge teams and automo-
,biles and catch the car and avoid the
Inconvenience of having to wait nearly
twenty minutes. This afternoon a party
of ladies had started from the Fargo
National bank, but they were left de-
spite their signalling, and only three
passengers were in the car at the start.

The Western Floods.

Philadelphia Inquirer: We are be-
ginning to pay for our folly in allow
ing the timber to be cut indiscrim-
inately from the face of the country.
No scientific man denies that the an
nual rise in the rivers would be much
less If there had been any intelligence
shown in the development of the
country. OF course, we all know that
provision was not to have been ex-
pected, that If the future had been
known 1t would have made little diff
ference. The pioneers were too busy
making living to think much OF
hydrostatics. The easiest way to get
a farm was to cut down the trees and
burn them.
Pittsburg and towns along the Ohio
and it's tributaries are suffering be-
cause the water drains too rapidly
There has been within the last six
months no unprecedented rainfall, but
it has come in punches" so to speak
and 1t runs away to the sea level rap
idly instead of seeping through the
ground or being absorbed by vegeta-
ton. The situation is not new The
chroniclers who went with Cortez told
of the Immense forests of oak and
other hard wood trees in portions OF
Mexico, which are now almost desert
The plains of Persia and Babylonia
which once teemed with a large popu.
lation, are inhabited almost entirely
by the Bedouin, except along the
rivers. Formerly system of canals
conserved the rainfall, and especially
the waters from the highlands, and
diverted them over immense areas
where vegetation absorbed them
When wars or recklessness sweep
away the vegetation the sandy deser
soon was all that remained.
The point of all this is that before
long this nation must do something
on large scale to hold the waters Of
the Mississippi valley in check, not
only to preserve property, but to keeI
the water for irrigating purposes. TIL,
situation, unless checked, is certain tx
become worse. 1t is not economic Il

the gulf. AS it is, the Mississippi Il

structed piecemeal and upon no scien
tific Ian, often break with terribl,
loss Of life. And the worst of 1t all Ii
that we shall probably have to suffel
a great deal more before the natior
awakes to its responsibilities in tn,

SEEDING in HETTINGER
Ground in Good Condition and Con.
siderable Progress Made--Many
New Settlers.

Seeding has been in progress in
North Dakota for three weeks past.
The blowing has not been going on in
the Red river valley, but in the ex-
treme southwestern part of the state.
According to John Cameron, the we'll
known real estate dealer, who recently
filed on homestead in Hettinger coun-
ty, forty-tive miles south of Richard
ton and who returned to Fargo today
the ground has been soft enough to
pillow ever since March 4, when he
went out there. and farmers have al
ready begun seeding operations.
The ground there Is high and all
though that part of the state, in COM
mon with the rest of the country, had
a heavy snowfall. the snow melted en-
tirely away during the fine weather
in February and the ground thawed
quickly and was soon in readiness for
blowing. So rapidly are new settlers
moving into the county that Mr.. Cam
eron says there is a continual stream
of them on the roads running south
from Relaxation and Mott and in go-
ing north during the day one passes
wagon carrying newly arrived emmi-
grants every half mile.

THE WINNIPEG TEAM.
Manager Herr Has Signed Twenty five
Men-strons 5ackstop.

If the Winnipeg Maroons do mot
prove to be a winning team this year
it will not be for lack of material.
About twenty-five men are now either
under contract or have accepted terms,
and when the preliminary work starts
Manager Eddie Herr will have a diff
cult time selecting the best talent
Judging by the amount of CORES
pondence with headquarters. Herr
promises to be an energetic and en-
thusiastic manager, says The Winni-
peg Free Press. He has already picked
up several men whom he considers
will materially strengthen the team.
The short-stop position should be
well taken care of, as there are some
half a dozen candidates as successors
to our dear friend, Summerlott. Herr
has picked up two promising men for
the job in Fred Sasanbach, a st. Louis
boy, and Pete King of Auburn, Ind.
G. G. Henderson, also of Auburn, and
Joe Reynolds, a st. Louis university
man, want to play the outfield. These
men will have to be above the ordinary
to replace "Chesty" Cox, Traeger or,
Larry Piper, all Of whom have already
signed contracts. Herr has also recon-
mended a pitcher in Ed Willis of st.
Louis.
Warner Of Buffalo will likely be the
backstop of the team. He comes high
ly recommended. and has had exper-
fence in some of the best leagues in
the country r. A. Mcknight of Chi,
cago thinks he can supply puzzlers for
the hardest hitters in the league and
will be given chance to show what he
can do on the firing line.
1t will be learned with satisfaction
by the fans that the signed contract
of Rollo Zeider was received a few
days ago, for the Indian boy is the
candy goods at the awkward corner.
Luderus, Terry and practically all of
the men under reserve have also come
to time President Pulford says about
fifteen to eighteen men will probably
be brought to Winnipeg for the open
ing series, as with the big list to
choose from it will be hard matter
to select the best, and he is deter
mined that the Maroons this year will
be strong in all departments.

''NOSQUEALER"
SAYS DYING
DEPUTY
Falls Unconscious in Police
Station After Refusing
to Identify Thugs.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-With three
bullet wounds in his back, fourth in
his right shoulder and fifth in his
right arm, and the bone of the arm
broken, man who wore a special
deputy sheriff's badge stood in the
Fifth street police station today, and
though told that he was dying, he
refused to give his name or address
or to identify three men who stood
leering before him and who had been
accused of shooting him.
Just put me down as John Doe
and say live at the Waldorf-Astoria, .
the injured man said. IF 1 die my
friends will attend to this, and If I
live will attend to it myself. I am no
squealer."
AS the man finished talking he fell
to the floor unconscious and the three
men before him laughed.
There is no doubt in the minds of
the police that the injured man is a
member of one of the East Side gangs,
so many of whom got badges to act as
special deputy sheriffs yesterday, and
that his shooting Followed a post-elec-
tion fight because he had offended some
other members of the gang.

Smashup Of Steamer Train
and Many Reparted
Injured
PINNED UNDER THE DEBRIS
Special From Paris to Cher.
bourg With HOme-coRing Eu.
ropean >TraveIers CoIIides
With an Express Inside
the RreVaI Tunnel.

NANTES, France, Sept. 25.-Several
Americans are reported badly hurt as
a result of a collision on the main
line of the Paris and Cherbourg Rail-
road today.
The Cherbourg express from Paris
crashed into a special train carrying
transatlantic passengers just within
the Breval tunnel. The special was
telescoped and fifteen persons were
hurt, several, 1t is feared, fatally.
Many on the express train were also
hurt.
An American woman and her daugh-
ter were pinned down in the wreckage.
1t is not known how badly they are
hurt, and their names are not avail
able.
WreelSing crews and doctors have
been hurried to the scene.
The passengers on the special were to
embark on the White Star line steamer
Adriatic. The train taking passengers
to Cherbourg for embarkation on the
North German Lloyd steamer Crown
Prince Wilhelm, which was following
the train having on board the Adriatic
passengers, proceeded to its destination
by another route
The disaster is said to have been
due to the negligence of the crew of
the train carrying the transatlantic
passengers, as no lights were burning
in the rear of the train and no tor
pedoes were placed on the track be-
hind it, as required by the regulations
when a train halts in tunnel. This
neglect caused another train to rum
into the passenger train bound for
Cherbourg.
The train with the Adriatic's passen-
gers left Paris in two sections. The
first, containing the second-class bag
gage, stopped just beyond the Breval
tunnel owing to an accident to the To-
comotive. The second section contain
ing the first class passengers was
stopped by signal when in the middle
of the tunnel. The regular train for
Rouen followed the second section OF
the passenger train for Cherbourg, and
although there was red signal up at
the entrance of the tunnel it only re-
duced its speed and entered while going
at the rate of twenty-five miles an
hour. The collision followed.
The locomotiye Of the Rouen train
completely telescoped the rear coach
of the transatlantic, and in the smoke
and darkness an awful panic ensued.
1t was a miracle that nobody was
killed. Nineteen injured persons were
taken out OF the wreelSage. Several of
them were suffering from broken limbs.
The AdriatSc's male passengers, after
they had recovered from the panic fol-
lowing the collision, went manfully to
work in aiding the rescue of the in
jured, who were aiken to the hospitals
at Nantes and Bonnieres.
Thanks to the efforts of the prefect
of Nantes and the railroad authorities.
a new train was soon made up and the
Adriatics uninjured passengers pro-
ceded to Cherbourg
