ParIor MauIc,

ITO do this trick with cards. ex.
planned the parlor magician, you
must first slip the card selected upon
the bottom of the pack. Then. while
talking on some interesting subject,
YOU should peep at the card. Having
fixed 1t in your memory, you count
100, adding to that the number of
spots on the card. multiply this by 81
and divide by four because there are
SO cards in the deck and four suits
Of cards. Take the result, subtract
l3, because there are that many cards
in a suit, ask the person who drew
the card II he or she remembers what
1t was, and then draw 1t from the bot.
tom Of the pack and show 1t to him
or her."
But" says one of the audience,
wouldn't It be just as easy to take
1t from the bottom at the start?"
True, but wouldn't you rob tho
feat of all its nystery?"

STRIKE MAY BE STATEWIDE
Convention at Newcastle May Order
Men Out.

Newcastle, Pa, March S.-Rumors
that the general strike in Philadelphia
in sympathy with the street a men
was likely to become statewide were
put up to President Elmer e. Greena-
walt of the Pennsylvania State Fed
Grafton of Labor for confirmation.
President Greenawalt came here to
arrange for the annual meeting of the
state federation.
"The convention here will have
complete authority to call a statewide
strike if it sees fit" said President
Greenawalt, "but as to the likelihood
of such action I cannot commit my
self.
"The convention will represent $780,
900 organized workingmen of this
state, a majority of whom are en-
ployed in Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
There are about 100000 in Pittsburg.
The situation in Philadelphia is ex-
tremely critical. One great American
revolution was started there and it
might be no strange thing if another
one did so-but one of ballots instead
of bullets"

CONGRESSMAN THREATENED
Must Get Busy and Do Their Duty or

Washington, March Can anony.
nous letter was received by members
of congress threatening them and
their property with dynamite unless
the members get busy and do their
duty. The letter is signed by "The
Committee" and bears the postmark
of the Inley Park station, Chicago.
The writer begins by saying that
members are aware that the prices Of
the necessities of life are beyond the
reach of those who are compelled to
labor for a living.
"You are also aware" he continues,
that this state of affairs was brought
on by the trusts and the illegal COM
binations and you are aware these can
only exist in this country through the
legislation of congress and through
the governors of the states. Every
man sent to congress or elected to
high office is paid by the trusts and
corporations to do their will"

APPROPRIATION INADEQUATE
Gronna Wants More Money for Rural
Mail Routes.

Representative Gronna has forced
from Chairman Weeks of the house
committee on postofices and post
roads a declaration that there was a
prospect of a committee bill carrying
a heavy appropriation for the extern
sion of rural mail routes and in
creased pay for rural carriers.
Mr.. Gronna secured the floor to adj
vocate an appropriation of $4,000, 900
for new rural routes and a readjust-
ment and increase of rural carrier sal
aries. Mr.. Gronna is a member of the
Notwithstanding committee that
is urging on the house committee on
postoffices and post roads the estab-
lishment of a standard route of TWEEN
ty-four miles and a minimum salary
of $1,000.
The pending bill carries IN apnro-
priation for new rural routes of about
100000. Mr.. Gronna insisted this
was inadequate to meet the demands
Of the people. He warned the house
that rural delivery was the most pop
ular service of the postofice depart
ment and that, more than any other
single agency, it vas reconciling farm
ers to farm life. The need of farm
ers, he said, was the greatest eco
nomic question of the day.

Washington, March 5.-The Balm

slowly along through two sessions.
Mr.. Vertrees, counsel for Secretary
Ballinger, continued his cross-exam-

He elected some interesting facts
from the former forester, but fer the
most part the day was taken up large
ly with wrangles between the attorney
and the witness and sometimes be-
tween Mr.. Vertrees and counsel for
the other side. Mr.. Pinchot COM
planned to the committee that it was
difficult to explain forest service mat
ters to a nan so little informed on
the subject as Mr.. Vertrees appeared
to be.
Mr.. Pinchot admitted his first hand
knowledge of Mr. B~allinger's acts was
limited, but he reiterated that the sec
rotary of the interior had deceived
the president concerning the Cunning
ham coal cases and had made a state
ment to the president which was Job

THOMAS C. PLATT DEAD
Noted New Yorker a Victim Of
Bright's Disease

New York, March 7.-Thomas Col
Her Plat, formerly United States SEN
ator from New York and for many
years a national figure in Republican
politics, died in the apartment of Mr..
and Mrs. Gustav Adele, on West Elev-
enth street, from whom he had rented
three rooms for the past four years.
Mrs. Adele had been his nurse.

moved to the home of Frank H. Platt,
his son, and will be taken to Owego,
N. Y, the senator's birthplace, where
the funeral services will be held. An
hour before the senator died his two
sons, Frank Harry and Edward, with
their families, had left the house, after
their usual visit. Mr.. Plat sank into
Inconsistencies and died fifteen min
utes later. The relatives had all re-
turned to his bedside.
Last Wednesday Senator Platt was
at his office down town. Fer several
years he had been in feeble health.
Despite his advanced age he took an
active interest in affairs and refused
to neglect his business until the die
tates of nature imposed a rest. He
was out of bed at 7 o'clock every
morning and always early at his office.

INQUIRY IS DEMANDED
Sensational Charges Against
Merchant Marine League

Washington, March 4.-Sensational
charges alleging that officers of the
Merchant Marine league of Cleveland,
O., along with them former Governor
Herrick, have conspired and federated
with a view to securing the enactment
of ship subsidy legislation by corrupt
means are contained in a resolution
presented to the house by Represen-
tative Halvor Stevenson of Mime
sofa. The Stevenson resolution,
which was submitted in the open
house, provides for the appointment of
a special committee of seven mem
bers to inquire into the charges. It
was referred to the house committee
on the judiciary.
The Stevenson measure is a lengthy
document. 1t recites that the officers
and other members of the Merchant
Marine league are engaged in issuing
pamphlets, periodicals and other
printed matter devoted to the advance
ment and agitation of legislation for
appropriations by congress for ocean
mail service and subsidy payments
generally. Further. that an effort is
being made improperly to influence
members of congress in connection
with this legislation.
In pursuance of this conspiracy the
resolution recites funds are being col.
lected in various states of the Union
from interested persons.

NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH
Girl Seeks Shelter From Storm in
RoofIess Shack.


After spending twenty-five hours in
an open shack with the temperature
80 degrees below zero, Augusta Hend-
rickson, who lives eight miles from
Hettinger, is in a critical condition.
Her legs were frozen half way to the
knees, her hands and wrists were fro
zen; also her ears and nose.
Miss Hendrickson lives with her sis
ter, Mrs. Carl Engberg, but had been
visiting with friends one and a half
miles from home. She started home
on foot. The snow is very deep and a
storm grew worse shortly after she
had started. In a short time she lost
her way. Cold, bewildered and ia
tigued, she came to a desolate home
stead shack, with no doors, windows
or roof. No other shelter being visi-
BILE, she crawled into the shack.
The cold was so intense, however,
that she became numb and uncon.
scious, and for twenty-five hours re-
manned in the shack with nothing but
the walls for protection and the mer-
curry down to 80 degrees below zero.
She would have died but for the fact
that after the storm had cleared, she
was e e by w. w. Russell, who lives
half a mile away.

News Of the Week From Vdri-
Gus Parts Of the State
EXONERATES the SPORTSMEA
Game Board Issues Statement
on Prairie Chickens.

Complete exoneration for the North
Dakota sportsmen who provided the
prairie chickens for the Taft banquet
in Minneapolis last September is CIV
en- by the state board Of game and
fish control in a statement issued last
week. The board also takes occasion
to pay it's respects to the Minneapolis
committee in charge of the banquet,
%deploring the fact that it was respon-
sible for violations of North Dakota's
laws, no matter what the reason for
such action might be.
When the big banquet was arranged
for, the Minneapolis committee found
it necessary to call upon North Da-
kota sportsmen for enough prairie
chickens to care for the immense
gathering. North Dakotans complied
with the call and thus enabled the
committee to carry out it's plan with
great success.
This brought forth considerable crit
icism and it finally reached the game
board, with the result that an investi-
cation vas made.
The brunt of blame placed on those
in charge of the banquet for getting
North Dakota sportsmen to shoot the
prairie chickens out of season for the
dinner, is placed on E. J. Westlake,
secretary Of the Minneapolis Com
mercial club, who is now homeward
bound from a trip to Honolulu.
According to Wallace G. Nye, chair
man of the public affairs committee
of the club, Mr.. Westlake had charge
of the menu
The North Dakota hunters allege
that they were told by the purchaser
of the game that the commissions of
both Minnesota and North Dakota had
been fixed Mr.. Nye doubts whether
anyone made such an insinuation.

EiGHTY-SEVEN MET DEATH
Result of Avalanche in the Cascade
Mountains.

Wellington, Wash, March S.
Eighty-seven people We're killed when
the Great Northern passenger train
was swept down a mountain by an
avalanche last week, according to a
revised list given out by the railroad
Officials.
Fifty-two bodies have now been
taken from the avalanche ruins and it
is thought about sixty-tive are still in
the gulch. If SO, the railway list of
eighty-seven dead is too conservative
by twenty. 1t is thought that the
smoking car of the passenger train,
which had been turned into a bunk
house for the foreign laborers, has
been located and that it's dead will
be taken out. With the rapid progress
being made by the relief train from
the east side of the Cascades, all the
difficulties in caring for the dead and
wounded are vanishing. The railroad
company expects to bring the train in
to Wellington soon. There seems no
reason to doubt that every body will
be recovered this week. All the dead
are well preserved in the snow.

than 10000 workers have responded

AS against this came the reiterated

125,000 men were out in obedience tc
the general strike call, and that there
were practical assurances that $4,000
more would join the ranks of the
strikers. No detailed figures were fur
nished.
The day was the most peaceful, not
only since the calling of the general
strike, but since the walking out OF
the carmen more than two weeks ago

big meeting of workingmen in Labor
Lyceum was attended by some disor
der and stoning of cars, but the police

NORTHERN PACIFIC UPHELD
Federal Supreme Court Decides Port
land Gateway Case.

Washington, March S.-The North
ern Pacific Railway company won it's
fight in the SO called Portland gateway
case by a decision of the supreme
court of the United States.
This controversy was over the at
tempt of the Interstate commerce com
mission to require the Northern Pa
cific to join with other railroads in
establishing a through passenger
route and joint rates from the East to
Puget sound territory via Portland,
Ore.
In announcing the decision Justice
Holmes said that the commission had
power to require 4 new route only
when no reasonable or satisfactory
way already existed. The reasons as
signed by the commission as to why
the Northern Pacific plan was not a
satisfactory or reasonable one could
only be maintained by giving the
statute an artificial meaning.

Swept to Death While Removing
Obstruction on Tracks.

Vancouver, B. c., March Elm a
snowslide between Rogers Pass sta
ton and Glacier, on the line of the Ca

victims were workmen for the railway
company and more thar half Of them
were Japanese.
The men were a working crew clear
ing away a small slide hat had come
down early in the evening. They were
working a rotary engine, when a large
slide came down and carried them to
their death in the canyon below.
At first it was believed that all Of
the hundred men engaged in the work
had been killed, but later it was found
that many had escaped. The death
total is now estimated at fifty.
All passenger rains on the line are
safe, though it will probably be a day
or two before they are able to pass
the place where the slide occurred.
1t was one Of the worst nights ever
experienced in the railway section of
the Canadian Rockies. There was a
heavy storm of rain and sleet and
sometimes snow.
A storm also occurred in the Arrow
lakes. Communication with the East
is down. A long section of telegraph

RATE COMPLAINT DROPPED
Northern Pacific Roads Schedule Up
held by Commission.

The interstate commerce commits.
sion dismissed the complaint of F. O..
Hellstrom, warden of the North Dakota
state ~penitentiary, against the North
ern Pacific railway, in which it was
alleged that the SO cent rate on hemp
from the Pacific coast to Bismarck is
too large in proportion to the IS cent
rate to Chicago. The commission said
that the competitive condition at Chi
cago justifies the road in naming a
rate from the Pacific coast to that
point which is relatively lower than
it's rate to intermediate points at
which the force of this competition is
felt, provided it's rate to the more
distant point is not SO low as to be
unremunerative.
