The safe in the office of the N. P.
depot at Sims station was robbed one
morning last week, and who did it is
still a mystery. About ten o'clock the
agent had occasion to leave his Of
flee for a few minutes and neglected
to close either the door to the safe
or the Office. When he returned $40
and gold watch had disappeared. A
stranger, supposed to be hobo, had
been seen hanging about the depot
previous to the robbery, but was miss
ing afterwards.
The N. P. agent at New Salem was
at once appraised and the local officers
notified. During the afternoon a man
was taken from No. 5, who had been
riding on the top of one of the coaches.
On the local freight following No.

they both were placed in the cooler"

men was made, but very little money
was found. They were accordingly
released the following morning.
Officers are still investigating the
case and have hopes of securing the
guilty party.

Willow CITY AGENT
LOOKING FOR SNAKES

Willow City, N. D., July 18.-Agent
Larson has some very nice pets at
the depot these days that any one
can have by simply paying the ex'
press charges and pocketing them.
One is very large and beautiful
specimen Of the southern diomand-
back rattlesnake that slowly lifts it's
head and meditatively inspects you
through the wire netting over his box.
The snakes were consigned to mem
Der Of the Carnival Co., that was here
last week, but upon arrival here two
were dead and they we're refused by
the party, leaving three live ones on
the agents hands. The first night
one snake-said to have been a spot
ted adder-nade it's escape from the
box and has never been found since.
Clarence Sanderson is still looking
for it behind every piece of freight
that he has to move.

EDGELEY WOMAN DIES
while ABOARD TRAIN

Edgeley, n. D.. July 1S.-One OF the
saddest deaths that has occurred 1ol
some time was that of Mrs. ]. L.
Henry, which occurred last Friday
evening, while she was en- route home
from Minneapolis. Mrs. Henry had
been in i'll health since the birth OF
her baby short time ago, and was
taken to Minneapolis, with the hope
that the change would benefit her.
Last Friday evening, in company with
her husband and Mrs. w. c. Sanborn,
of Medberry, Mimi, Mrs. Henry start.
ed on the return trip to Edgeley. She
was put in BERTH and stated to the
folks that she had never had as nice
ride in her life At a place named
Milan, about 100 miles west of Min.
neapolis, she suddenly expired, and
the body was taken from the train
until the coroner could be called. Mr.
Henry went around the town to see
if he could get some place in which
to put the body of his wife until morn
ing, but could not find person who
would open their hearts enough to
tighten the burden of his sorrow, and
he was compelled to put the body on
a board and leave it in the depot until
morning, while he and Mrs. Sanborn
sat up and watched during the dark
hours of the night. The body was
brought to Edgeley Monday morning,
and the funeral held under the aus.
pieces of the Rebekahs and the Odd
Fellows.

WONDERS OF A WATCH.

its Marvellous Mechanism and the
Power That Moves It.
We hear much from time to time Of
the wonders of this or that complicat-
ed and intricate machine, but there
are few pieces of machinery more mar
velous than that of the common watch.
A watch, it may be stated as a gen.
eral proposition. is the smallest, most
delicate instrument Of the same num-
Der Of parts that has ever been de-
vised. About 175 different pieces Of
material enter into it's construction.
and upward Of 2.400 separate opera
tons are comprised in its manufacture.
Certain Of the facts connected with
its performance are we'll nigh incredi-
BILE when considered as whole. A
blacksmith strikes several hundred
blows on his anvil in day and. as a
matter Of course. IS glad when Sunday
comes, but the roller jewel Of a watch

3, 1853. GOO0 600 blows during the space OF
twenty years. the period for which a
watch is usually guaranteed to keep
good time.
But the wonder of it does not cease
here. 1t has been calculated that the
power that moves the watch is equiva-
lent to only four times the force used
in flea's jump. The watch power Is
therefore what might be termed the
equivalent Of four flea-power. One
horsepower would suffice to operate
27O.OO0OOO watches.
Furthermore, the balance wheel Of
watch is moved 10y this four f1ea-power

Not much oil is required to lubricate

run. 1t takes only one-tenth Of drop
to oil the entire machinery for years

PLAN CONVENTION OF
BOTH Wings Of PARTY

Minot, N. d., July 1S.-E. c. Coop
er, recognized as a stalwart leader
and who, it is said. in all probability
will be the state chairman this year,
vas Minot visitor and during his
stay here he had a conference with
Hon. J. N. Devine, chairman OF the
progressive campaign committee, at
which it is said various phases Of the
much desired harmony were discussed.
Mr.. Devine's statement of the outcome
Of the conference is as follows:
1T is true that +. c. Cooper. chair
man of the stalwart wing of the state
republicans, has been to see me and
that a convention Of the two wings
of the party in North Dakota, with
the object of har.nonizing has been
discussed, so that the party can go
into the fall campaign with solid
front. | believe that. recognizing the
position of the progressive rcpub]i-
cans in the primary campaign as ex-
pressed in speeches over the state
and in published statements, the re-
suits of the primary should be sus.
tanned. If a platform satisfactory to
progressive leaders can be adopted,
such harmony will in all probability
be brought about. Now that the peo.
pie themselves by vote at the pri
maries have determined the congress
sional and state tickets. the progress
sives believe that the duty of repub.
Leans is to support the ticket named
by the people at the polls. There
fore, with proper platform prepared,
it is presumed that the stalwarts
and progressives will unite in fighting
a common enemy"

Where History Began.

Describing visit to the tombs of
the Egyptian kings, Albert Bigelow
Paine in Harper's Weekly writes of
1.-THE splendid tomb of Amenophis H.,
of the eighteenth dynasty, who lived
in the glory Of Egypt, 1900 B. c., a
warrior who slew seven Syrian chiefs
with his own hand. The top Of the
sarcophagus is removed and is replac'
ed by heavy plate glass. Just over the
sleeper's face there is a tiny electric
globe. and believe one could never
tire of standing there and looking at
that quiet visage, darkened by age, but
beautiful in it's dignity, unmoved, un-
disturbed by the storm and stress Of
the fretful years. How long he has
been asleep! The Israelites were still
in bondage when he fell into that quiet
doze, and for their exodus a century
or two later he did not care. Hector
and Achilles and Paris and the rest had
not yet battled on the plains Of Troy"

THE COLORADO DESERT.
Its Stunted Tree Forms and Its Pstrt.
fed Forests.

Its Stunted Tree Forms and Its Pstrt-
fed Forests.
In places in the Colorado desert are
stream beds where perhaps once In
several years heavy rains in distant
mountains will cause water to flow for
short time. In these dry water
courses several varieties Of stunted
tree forms are often found. The des-
ert willow, which resembles the willow
with which we are familiar, though
smaller in size; the val verde, or green
tree, a tree which is bright green
from trunk to tip of limb in every
twig, and the ironwood, so dense in
fiber that it turns an axis edge. are the
principal varieties. They are rarely
above twenty feet high and, like oil
desert vegetation, have not leaf.
They are apparently outcasts from
the two great tree divisions, deciduous
and citrus. for they have leaves nei-
Their to lose nor to keep. These may
be called the living dogs Of the tree
family. We will find here also the
dead lions.
Not far from the mountain range we
will come upon the remains Of what
were once extensive forests of gigantic
trees. now turned to stone and lying
as they fell centuries ago. The great
trunks. perfect IN grain, knot and bark
fiber. cumber the ground in tangled
confusion in those places which have
been protected from the drifting sand,
giving evidence that what is now
desert was once upon a time a tropical
wilderness.-Travel Magazine.
