story goes, was in trouble, and it was

of Erickson, that by putting up secur-

Moen consented to sign a note in or

Seed win Be Scarce

Indications are that seed wheat and
flax will be serious problem here
the coming spring. Heretofore the
elevators have been in a position to
supply the farmers with seed, but we
learn this year that they cannot sup.
ply seed on any terms or conditions
Unless some steps are taken by which
our farmers can get the necessary
seed to seed (theh land many farms
will go without being Cultivated the
coming seasonal condition that
should be avoided. We ask all the
farmers that have not got seed neces-
sary to seed their land the coming
season to report to this Office as soon
as possible, and we will try to make
an organized effort to see what can be
done to. supply the necessary seed
Lansford Times.
In reference to the above, an indie
pendent reporter called upon 4. Rob
inson the elevator man, and was in
formed that he had plenty Of good
seed, for the present, bptlhe could
not tell how long 1t would last. Seed
is likely to be pretty scarce this year.
Farmers having seed for sale will do
well to advertise this fact in the In
dependent, as there is big demand
for the good kind.

Miss Jennie Thompson was fatally
burned a. the home Of J. c. ,Blaisde III
Friday morning about, 1880 o'clock by
the, explosion Of a can of, gasoline.
Death relieved the. poor young wom-
ans sufferings Monday morning.
The accident was one of the most
horrible ever known ip tots city. Miss
Thompson, who had just come to work
, at the Blaisdell home the. day, before
the accident, sgot up, early Friday
morning to prepare the morning meal.
She was starting a fire in the kitchen
range, and took the gasoline can from
the closet, and poured quantity Of
it IN the stove. An explosion immedi-
ately followed, and the bottom was
blown. out of the CAM and the girls
body envelopeds in, flames. Frenzied
from her sufferings, she ran up the
stairs where Mr. Blaisdell was sleep
ing, but: he met her at the stairs and
succeeded in putting out the flames
with rags and comforters. The girl
was horribly burned, however, more
than half Of her body being burned.
over. There were deep burns about
the head, breast. legs and arms. Her
hair was nearly burned OF. Nearly
all of her outer garments were burned
of and portion of her under cloth
ing. She was taken at once to the
hospital where her sufferings were
somewhat relieved, but from the very
start, the physicians gave no hope
for her recovery. She passed away
Monday morning.
A coronor's inquest was held Mon
day afternoon and the jury inquired
carefully into the facts concerning the
young woman's death. No blame is
attached to the Blaisdell family in the
least for the can was a red one, as
required by: law. The young woman
was not familiar with the use of gaso-
line in North Dakota.
Miss Thompson had been living on
claim near Blaisdell. She has no
relatives in this country, except
brother who arrived from Finland sew
eral days after the death of his sister.
The Blaisdell home was set on fire
by the explosion, but the flames were
extinguished. An hour and a half
later, however, fire rassdiscoveredsin
the kitchen between the walls, and
the firemen were called out. BY chop:
ping a hole in the wall the flames
were extinguished. The damage to
the house will not amount to more
than couple of hundred dollars.

CATCHING HEAT"

"That colds" are due to
catching heat" is another one
of the curious paradoxes due to
the modern Investigations of dis
ease, and by colds" is meant all
the acute infammations of the
respiratory tract, including pneu-
monia. Eskimos never ha re
pneumonia at home, but very
nearly all die of it when they
come to New York. This dis
ease is now the most fatal one in
the heart of Panama. Peary
states that none of his party suf-
fered from coughs and colds in
the Arctic, but after their return
they have all had such diseases.
Tropical colds' are the persist
ent forms of bronchitis found in
white men in the tropics and so
hard to Throw off" or cure. 1t
is we'll to inquire now that the
benefits of cold air are being rec
ognized, whether our Winter
colds are not really due to the I'M
wholesome heat of our houses
which are hotter in Winter than
Summer. If so, we do not
catch cold" when we leave the
house. but catch heat
when we enter it. Every
new fact seems to point to the
necessity of a reform in our
methods of overheating houses.

THE ONE THING VALUABLE.

There is one thing in the wide
universe which is really valua-
BILE. and that is character. By
this mean a confidence in
the bosoms of those who know
you, that you have the power,
the capacity, and the disposition
to confer happiness on others
This, of course, will include a
power over yourself, SO that you
can govern and restain your own
wishes, and thus take care OF
yourself; and it will imply that
you have the power, and have
the disposition to exercise that
power, to do good to others. 1t
is this that makes the character
of the Divine Being so perfect,
so exalted, and SO worthy of
homage and of admiration. A
good heart, Benevolent feelings,
and a balanced mind lie at the
foundation of character. Other
things may be deemed fortui-
tous; they may come and 60;
but character is that which lives
and abides and is admired long
after it's possessor has left the
earth, the theater on which it
was displayed. John Todd.
