From 1.-The Vases

Words of greeting come this month
from many old friends as they remit, who
were formerly residents of this city and
county. Most ask to be remembered tc
old friends and express their regards fol
the old timers hereabouts. Ex-Supt. Of
Schools G. E. jackson says "two boats
were frozen on the Columbia between
Chelan Falls and Wenatchee. We have
to stage and freight to Wenatchee. Nc
suffering but lots of feelings hurt by
frozen water-pipes. The people are not
prepared for cold weather and don't
know what to make of it. We miss the
hard coal-,takes lots of time to keep
fires with light wood.''
Seattle friends say they had foot OF
snow and 10 above zero and the whole
city went sliding down hill and skating.
Some accidents occurred, one young man
being killed and several limbs broken.
This was followed by flood that delay
ed trains out that way for several day S
ten such trains arriving in Fargo over
the Mp. within fifteen hours on Monday
DIR. Falcon Of Saskatoon reports the
arrival of another girl at his residence
about three months ago-but adds
that he has better practice there than
he had here so he can afford the new
luxury. Many friends will be glad t.
hear of his double prosperity.
The Porterville, Cal. Daily Chronicle
comes to US full of portraits of leading
citizens there and celebrating a great
victory by which the saloons were
abolished in that thriving city. Natur
ally among these appear the phizzes OF
two of Pembina's Representatives now
living Hereditary Carr, cashier of the
First National bank and L. L Price, ono
of the city council, both Of whom are
given credit for effective assistance in
the political battle.

THE LEGISLATURE.

Pierre, S. d, Feb. 12.-Supporters OF
the state wide nerd law, which was de-
feated in the senate Monday by a vote
of 90 ayes to "a nays, claim to have
discovered an error in the count by the
secretary on roll call, and are now as
sorting that the vote was a tie. Led
by Hare they will try quietly for q re-
consideration to correct the error. Fail
ing in this they will demand an inves-
LEGATION.
The house yesterday passed Fowler's
mining property lien law; also Arnold's
partition fence bill, but the latter did
not set in the clearing without a
contest in which the farmer
members la their innings in debate.
Numerous amendments were offered,
but the bill finally went through
straight.
The state depository bill went
through the house without getting
even & SNOWFALL thrown at it, and no,
one attempted to impede its progress.
Whiting may have figured that the,
storm would prevent the newspaper
men from getting here to set up a
voice in opposition, and introduced his,
bill to cut off the publication of insur-
Rnce statements in every circuit in the
state where the company maintains an.

MINISTER'S EVIDENCE
CONVICTED WI FATHER

Huron, s. D.. e 17.-Rev. F'reder-
lex Loose, d Lutheran minister at Yale,
IL miles northeast of his city, has
been undergoing sad experiences in
New York city. Last fall Mr.. Loose
went to New York for the purpose of
bringing his mother. young brother and
sister to make their home with him at
Yale. His father being an inebriate,
became very much exercised when he
found that his wife and children were
about to come west, and in a drunken
frenzy shot the daughter, killing her
almost instantly, and also sending a
bullet into the body of the young min
lister. Loose was arrested and at the
trial, which terminated a few days
since, was convicted of murder. the
conviction being based almost wholly
upon h evidence of his son Frederick.
It is expected that Mr.. Loose will soon
return to Yale with his mother and
younger brother and resume his pas
toral duties. The affair created a SEN
sation in New York. and the proceed
ings of the trial have been watched
with intense interest by friends OF Rev.
Mr.. Loose in Yale and this part Of the
state, where he is held in high esteem

WHAT HAPPENED
DURING STORM
Cat That Didn't Come Back anu
Man Who Slept in Sleeper
at Home.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 13.-Stories
are coming from inland pointe of cur
ious happenings during the furious
storm that will be remembered as the
1899 blizzard" Though there was not
q great deal of snow, the tremendous
gale that went with it produced re-
markable effects.
At Blunt, for example. a steel cul-
vert, 20 feet long and six feet in diam
eter. started southwark, crossed the
railroad track, went through the rail-
way fence, over the school section,
across the creek and up a steep hill
and out of sight.
A Narrowing Tail.
At Garretson, Jerry Plain reports
the strange taking off of his family cat.
She was caught out in the storm, and,
evidently bewildered, was driven before
the ind She anne to a woyen wire
fence, and in an attempt to get through,
fastened her head in n of the mesfles.
She remained standing and was frozen
to death in that position. Her tail was
blown upright by the wind and froze
stiff, standing as straight up as a flag
pole.
At Reliance. west of the Missouri.

ranch. The weight became too much
for the timbers and a section 14-2S col
lapsed. Over 1000 head of sheep We're
under the shed at the time. The live
sheep We're dug out, but over a hundred
were killed.
imagined He Travelled.
At Bookings, Fred Stoltenburg de-
cided to &c to Minneapolis on the even
ing of the blizzard. When the Water
town train arrived he got on the sleeper
and went TO bed. Next morning he
woke at 8 o'clock and carefully dressed
himself to go out and see the sights of
Minneapolis. The car windows were
frozen SO he could not see out. He was
amazed on going out to find the car
in the precise spot where he went to
sleep. The train had been abandoned
because of the storm.
At Beresford Andy Anderson and
Charles Flynn spent the night in the
Office of h NJ. l.. Schmid livery Darn,
where they work. They pu an extra
amount of coal in the stove, but closed
the damper too much and this filed
the room with gas. Anderson realized
that something was wrong, but was
SO confused that he did nothing but
sit IN top of the stove until VIII Wat
son appeared at $50 o'clock and called
him off his perch. Fortunately the
stove vas nearly cold or he would have
caught fire. Flynn was unconscious in
bed, but was revived after a half hours
work.

EGAN CAN NOT
HOLD HIS OFFICE
Supreme Court Holds Him Ig-
norant Of Legal Ethics
Whiting Gives Opinion.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 12,-The decision
In the Egan case was handed down
this morning. The supreme court sus-
tains the lower court.
It holds that the disbarment deprives
the attorney of all. rights and privi-
leges conferred by his license. 1t cites
the disbarment decision holding Egan
ignorant of part of the duties of an
attorney, therefore not learned in the
law as the statute requires.
The legal presumption is that the
disbarrnent decision was just and 1T
ljspels the presumption of competency
raised by Adamson. A knowledge OF
legal ethics is one of the most import
ant branches. The former decision hold
Egan ignorant of legal ethics. The
opinion is by Whiting, all judges con-
curing.
