What is now known as the r street
sewer, south of the Washington market,
built by Samuel Strong shortly after the
civil war, represents portion of the an
cient Goose creek, or Tiber, which, dur
ing the greater part of the last century,
was the Washington canal. This stream
appears in the old maps of Maryland, and
in it's course northward, near the BO-
tanic Garden, bounded on the west the
tract patented to one Pope in 1868, by
Lord Baltimore, on which the Capitol is
now located. The story is that Pope built
his home on the hill, and called the place
Rome, and the creek the Tfber. The
portion west of the Botanic Gardens was
several hundred yards wide and the shall
low waters originally covered nearly all
the land now occupied by the Washington
market. At the west end of the Botanic
Gardens was morass along the banks of
the stream. through which the branch
coursed southeastward and westward.
Almost as soon as the city was laid out
a canal was projected, in the interest of
trade and the public health, by uniting
the Potomac and Anacostia, or Eastern
branch, through drainage of the low
grounds, especially east of 9th street.
In November, 1895, the legislature OF
completing the canal already begun-and

What plans the new owner has for the
use Of this great holding is not known,
but it is surprised that it is designed to
improve the property by the erection of
an hotel, using the corner piece to give
an entrance from 14th street.

still used for residence purposes. the con-

about 20 years of age and rather
prepossessing in appearance. 1t is

four days at town and then mov-

He appeared in the district court

YOUNG LADY INJURED BY EX.
PLOSiON OF KEROSENE
BURNS SERIOUS.

Rugby, N D.. April 3.-Another
distressing kerosene explosion in
which little Miss Dephene Moeller was
seriously burned about the face and
hands occurrer here.
Miss Moeller was attempting to
hasten coal fire by the use Of kero-
sene and when the oil came in con-
tact with the glowing Goals gas
was formed which exploded violently,
throwing burst Of flames into the
young lady's face and burning her
hands. 1t seems that there was no
coal to be had in the city on that
day except some large sized hard coal
and of course that fuel is difficult to
burn in any but large furnace or
stove and Miss Moeller was endeayor'
ing to start fire with that fuel when
the accident occurred.
While the burns are painful, it Is
not thought that they will prove
especially dangerous The scores Of
school.mates and friends of the girl
extend their deepest sympathy and
hope for her speedy recovery.

Medina Will Have Two
Experimental Farms


Medina will have TWO experimental
stations this year under the direct
supervision of the agricultural exten-
sion department of the Northern Pa
cific, A. c. Martinson being here Mon
day to make arrangements in regards
to the project. 5-acre tracts were Sc
cured for the purpose from Martin
Grusce, who lives on the southwest
quarter of section 17-14$-6S, 4 miles
north of town, and Karl Hofmann,
who lives on the southwest quarter
Of section 13-139-69, 3 miles southwest
from town. The railroad will fur
nish all seed, choosing the kind they
want sown. But if any commercial
or barn-yard fertilizer is needed the
farmer is to supply it at his own ex-
pense, the railroad to pay the farmer
$40 at the end of the crop year, be-
sides allowing him all crops grown
on said tracts All the work will be
done by Messrs. Gursce and Hofmann
but under the direction of experts sent
here from time to time by the rail-
road. Both of these tracts. are along
main travelled roads leading into Me-
dina and the growth of the grain can
be observed by all those passing.
This experimental work will be watch
ed with much interest by the farmers
in this section of the county.

The farmers are also asked to save

Every farmer has wheat, oats. fax,

that they wish these kinds Of exhibits,
and to ask that grain be saved and
sent in for exhibit.
AS to the young people, there are
many who have corn, ETC., raised last
year. All this can be sent in and ex-
hibited And such Of the young peo-
pie as are raising a colt, calf or any
animal will have a chance to show
such animal against others doing the
same.

The Barnes County Agricultural
Fair. is so far as it's usefulness and
purposes are concerned will undergo a
thorough change, according to D. S.
Richie, president. 1t has always
been the intention of those in charge
of the fair to make it a Barnes Coun-
ty proposition an institution that
would be of benefit to the people of
the county. However, it appears that
1t has not been altogether just what
the people want, and it is now the In
tention to make it a Barnes county
fair. An institution to be used by the
people Of the county in the advance
ment of their interests, at the same
time furnishing to them amusement
and recreation.
AS stated by one of the directors,
Mr.. Ritchie, the classes will be entire
ly changed. 1T will be the intention
to keep the thoroughbred classes, and
these will be open to all exhibitors.
There will, however, be added grade
classes. Glasses wherein all kinds of
grade cattle, horses, hogs, etc. can be
shown. The farmers of this county
are engaged in raising horses, cattle,
and hogs, and all but few are raising
grade stock. 1t is only fair that this
kind of stock, such as We are raising
at home, should have place at the
fair. To that end these classes will
be established, and the entries will be
confined exclusively to Barnes county
stock. Outside exhibitors will not be
permitted to enter in these classes.
Further than this the cash premiums
will be as large for these classes as
for the thoroughbred classes. We
are going to make an effort to give ad-
ditional premiums in the way of cups,
but this we cannot promise"

Little Missouri
At Highest Stage
In Its history

Marmarth. n. D., April 5. The
water in the little Missouri river
reached the highest point yesterday
in the history of the country. The
food was caused by the effects of the
Sunday chinook winds Of the heavy
snow in the upper Box Elder and
Beaver creek country. This enormous
amount of water from the Box Elder
creek struck here about y o'clock
Sunday night and the river raised six
feet in thirty minutes and it was not
more than half All hour later that
Beaver water STRUCK he river which
resulted in the river getting way out
of it's banks covering c.le lower ground
in town.
A portion of the Milwaukee tracks
next to the Beaver bridge was wash
ed out but no track next to the Little
Missouri river bridge was injured in
the least.
/. The wagon bridge over Beaver creek
was washed away but this bridge was
in bad shape from the effects of the
ice earlier in the season and was
hardly expected to withstand the
usual amount of spring water.
A score or more Of homes were
flooded in the cellars and on the first
floors and few homes IN the lower
part OF the city were inundated but
these homes were known to be in the
high water zone and no dangerous
ground. Owing to the natural fear
resulting from the horrible foods in
Ohio and Indiana the residents left
their homes between and o'clock
Monday morning and went to higher
ground but no sooner had the water
reached its highest point from which
it began to subside almost immediate.
ly then the people came focking back
again to take up their usual routine.
The property loss has been slight
there and had there been some little
preparation in advance for high water
there would have been no loss.
