DEAD MAN TAKEN FROM TRAIN
Passenger on Northern Pacific Train
IA No. 8, Dies suddenly-Iden.
r tity Uncertain

A man apparently about so years
of age, was taken from train No. 3
Tuesday dead, having expired in the
smoker this side of Valley City. He
was heavy set man, and no posi-
tive means of Identification were to
be found upon him. He had a
small sum of money and ticket
from New York to Seattle. He was
taken to an undertaking establish
,ment and an examination made of
the body and clothing. He was
probably a sailor by occupation, in
dicated by the TATTOO marks upon his
arms. The cause of death is sup
posed to be acute alcoholism. He died
without making any struggle and ap-
parently death might have occurred
from heart disease. He had small
valise containing some personal ef-
fects and a bottle of Hennesey's
Three Star Brandy. There are sew
eral addresses of persons residing in
Sweden on the person of the dead
man and his own name appears to
be John Olson, but this is not GER
tain. He was about feet 10 inch
es tall, weighs near 1876 pounds, has
red hair and round face and sandy
mustache. He wore a black suit
and white straw hat. The remains
will probably be buried here.

REoPEN1NG OF ORPHEUM

REOPENING OF ORPHEUM
The Orpheum theatre opened It's
doors Monday after closing down
for several weeks during the summer
season. Manager Spaulding has
made a number of improvements, in
cluding brilliantly lighted new
front. The bill was a good one and
the moving pictures were especially
fine, several of the colored films by
the Pathe Bros, being extremely
beautiful. The improvement In col
oring films is one Of the greatest de-
velopments in the moving. picture
line yet seen. Fontinelle, the Eu-
ropean mystery, demanded the close
attention Of the audience and this
automaton figure did some queer and
inhumanlike stunts. The comedy
singing and impersonations of AL
Warda, a second Neal Burgess, made
everybody. laugh. Both perform
ances were greeted with full house.
Manager spaulding has some big
special attractions for the coming
season. The pianist engaged for the
work of the orpheum is Miss Blanche
Mattingly, who also rendered IN q
very capable manner the illustrated
song of the evening.

MORE FISH FOR sPIRITwooD
From State Hatchery-Discouraging
Results From Former
Paintings

Two cans of young fish from the
state hatchery, arrived Wednesday
and sent to Spiritwood lake. The
fish were about two inches long and
lively fellows. If any young fish of
a different kind from those now in
the lake live, those taken to the
lake today ought to do SO. But so
far there is no evidence of any of the
young fish that have been put into
the lake, having grown to sufficient
size or numbers to furnish any sport
for the angler. Bass, and other
varieties of fish have been placed In
the lake for number of years past
but the only fish caught there are
the original Inhabitants. perch and
pike and occasionally pickerel
The perch are increasing apparently
in numbers owing to the decrease

troyed by illegal fshine at the lake.
If these fish could be thoroughly
protected for three years, there would
be fine perch caught where now the
rule is little fellows about two or
three inches long.

Err A LONG ILIsss

After a sicknsa sding over
many weeks. bs patience and
resignation and gneerful spirit that
endeared her to all, the death of Mrs.
Agnes Eddy, wife of Frank Eddy of
this city occurred Tuesday a. m. at
4:3O o'clock at her home, 3O8 First
avenue north.
Mrs. Eddy underwent a severe
surgical operation in this city for re-
moval of a cancer, March 23rd, and
for time rallied and gave hopes to
her friends and relatives that she
would ultimately recovery. Later
her strength not returning she was
taken to St. Barnabas Hospital in
Minneapolis, where she received
treatment of special nature for a
number of weeks. She returned
home three weeks ago without any
improvement in her condition and
has remained here gradually losing
strength until the end came.
Agnes May Stack Eddy was born
in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. She was
married November 18th, 1897 at
Fargo, to Frank Eddy. and has resid-

loss of a devoted wife and mother.

SHORT BARLEY CROP
High Prices Due to Great Shortage
at Home and Abroad

The Minneapolis Market Record
says:
The barley crop in the leading bar
ley states of the west is short of the
usual yield. The decrease in acre
age is considerable when taking into
the accounting the loss suffered thru
abandoned fields, altogether reach
ing we'll toward Z per cent under the
acreage harvested year ago. Much
of this grain now arriving is of very
good color, though it is understood
to be of the threshings preceding
later heavy rains. Reports indi-
cate a larger per cent of discolored
barley to come from the delayed
threshings.
So far the weight per bushel is
rather light and from reports, that
to come may not be expected to equal
that of the previous season. There
is a wide difference in the acre yield,
ranging from few bushels we'll up
to 80 bushels and in a few localities
still higher. The poorer grain is
largely in Western Minnesota, West
ern and Central South Dakota, with
parts of Iowa and much of North
Dakota and parts of Wisconsin,
though in smaller area than in some
of the other states.
AS a rule the barley now in the
market is sound though some is go
ing through the sweating process and
requires care in the handling. Hot
weather ripened the crop premature
ly causing a shrinkage in the berry,
and, consequently loss of yield. So
far color and soundness meet ex-
pectation. Largely the quality en-
titles the grain to consideration for
mailing.
While the American barley mar
kets are unusually dear, owing to
the low yield and the small amount
brought over from the previous sea.
son, there is little reason to doubt
that they will continue dear. through
the new season, as conditions abroad
are little better in the great barley
countries of Europe. Russian peas
ants are selling barley and retaining
wheat as the comparatively cheaper
grain.
