indicates that the entire proceeding is
intended by each side as q. contest

to have the custody of the child
The natural result of this is that in
stead of each parent showing up his
or her own good points, much of the
effort is directed at finding fault with
the other. So far this has led to ef-
forts to prove charges of drunkenness
and gambling on the part of the man,
and drunkenness and adultery on the
part CT the woman, and many passages
of the testimony have been somewhat
racy in character.
On account of the large number of
witnesses to be examined the trial is
expected to last three or four days.

ests in the southern part of the state,

Train on Northern Pacific Wrecked d
 While Standing on Bridge.

That trains may be wrecked even when standing still was proven by an accident on the Northern Pacific Be- tween Wallace and Saltese a trestle was built on a reverse curve. It was about 300 feet lorg and reached height of about so feet. The night be- fore the accident a train consisting of a snow plough, two engines and two passenger cars, caboOSe and push ing engine had been battling with the drifts between Wallace and Dorsey, making slow progress. At 4 a. m. the IS" bridge was reached, and, the en- zine and train crews being exhausted, it was decided to stop until daybreak. All sections of the train were then coupled, and the crews retired to the caboose, with the train still standing on the bridge.
 About ' a. m. a snOwslide started up on the mountain, and, gathering force In it's progress, swept down and over the waiting train. The trestle of the bridge was swept away, and the ca boose, containing eight men, dropped so feet into the deep snow. Only one suffered any injury at all, and he got out of it with a broken hip. There were eight or nine passengers in the coach, and one of these leaped from the window and fell 70 feet. He ax- tricated himself and returned unaided to the coach. The other passengers did not receive even a shock.

It has been discovered that the denatured alcohol act passed by con- gross last winter does not confer the benefit upon the farmers that it was supposed and intended that it should, owing to the restrictions of the in- ternal revenue laws which practically give a monopoly to the large distil- leries in producing the denatured al cohol. To remedy this Senator Hans borough of North Dakota has intro duced an amendment to give farmers the full benefit of the law. Write to your congressman to support it.
 A new treatment for hog cholera consists in injecting serum from the blood of immune hogs rather than, as at present, from those infected with the cholera virus. Only 20 per cent. of the hogs thus treated have died. As the loss from hog cholera amounts to over $15,000,00O annually in this country, a satisfactory remedy is of the utmost interest to farmers. While this method has been patented by Dr. M. Dorset of the bureau of animal in- dustry, it has been thrown open to the free use of the farmers of the United States.
