WONDERFUL RECORD.
Lay in Burning Coal* Three Days-Con
tents Preserved,
Atwater, Minn., Ma?$!v M»
^ARY SAFE CO.. Buffalo, N. Y.
gentlemen: On the evening of Dec.
/j' 1897, my mill, four stories high, and
l^rge flour warehouse was totally de
stroyed by fire. We had just unloaded
a car of soft coal in the basement, un
der the office and my safe fell into the
burning mass and it was three days be
fore we could pull it out to open it.
Upon opening it( to niy surprise) I
found all books and papers in fine condi
tion, and I heartily commend and rec
ommend your safes as being absolutely
fife proof.
crConsidering that the safe fell into the
burning coal' and was in the most in
tense heat of this large building* con
sider it a most severe test.
Yours respectfully,
NELS ENGE.
THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
A Thanksgiving service will be held
in St. Mark's English Lutheran Church,
corner of Fourth Avenue and Eighth
Street North, Thursday at 10 a. m.
Let all the people praise Thee O God
Then shall the earth yield her increase
and God even our own God shall bless
us. Let us meet in our accustomed
places of worship and render thanks to
God for His loving kindness and ten
der mercies. John A. Zundel, pastor.
FAILED TO CLIMB.
Annie Peck of Boston, who devotes
herself to mountain climbing, the more
difficult the hotter, returns from South
America to say that she did not get to
the top of Mount Sorata, in Bolivia,
the highest peak in the Andes. She and
Professor Tight of the University of
California waited for three weeks for
good weather and finally gave it up.
But she did go up on Mount El Miste
in Peru, 19,200 feet above sea level, and
moreover, she went down the crater
500 feet below, and only Professor Bai
ley besides (the director of Arequipa
srvatory) knows anything about jjie

POLITICS IS A DISORDER.
/^Congressman Edward Hamilton of
^ItleS- Mick, was out walking n5t far
from his home recently and sat down on
a fence to rest. A passing teamster of
fered him a lift, which Mr. Hamilton
accepted. They drove some distance in
Silence and then the teamster said: "Pro
fessional man?" The congressman an
swered "Yes." Then youth the driver:

Deputy Quist also had in charge Jos

who lias been committed to the Devils
Lake jail. There is a question of juris
diction in this case. The attorney for
Kiya claims that the crime was not
committed 011 the reservation, and that it
is an offense which should come under
the state laws. The question was. ar
gued before Judge Amidon, but he has
not handed down a decision.
J. B. Ladeault was ajrested Saturday
last at Rolla by Deputy Stout charged
with smuggling three gallons of whisky
across the Canadian line. J. B. Bercier
was the complaining witness. During
the progress of the hearing yesterday it
was developed that the complaining wit
ness was mixed up in the smuggling and
both Bercier and Ladeauit were bound
over. The two men had a falling out
and Bercier, it is believed, squealed on
his partner for revenge.
Deputy Quist also arrested Joshua
Rerceir and Patrice Laforonaise at
Rolla. They are charged with cutting
preen timber from government land.
They were taken before United States
Commissioner Arthur O. Graham at
Rolla and bound over to the federal
grand jury in the sum of $200 ea h.

TECHNIQUE OF THE SCYTHE.
Cornhill's Magazine: A very slight
examination of a modern „scythe is
enough to convince one that much his
tory is crystalized in its rare beauty.
The original hand! ft is no longer a han
dle the handles are now two turned
pegs, set in iron ring sAckets, which are
themselves suggestiv of long evolution.
Moreover, the sinuous shaft is not now
what it was fifty years ago—the nearest
pole that the copse cutter could find for
the purpose—a sort of makeshift, in fact:
It is now a shaft rounded and smoothed
in a machine lathe, and bent by steam,
and pressure in a factory to the ideal
curve desired by the mowers of the ages.
Perfect scythe handles might be had now
by the thousand, for the type is found,
and manufacturers could reproduce it
forever but at this stage even the easier
technique tool seems likely to be quite
superseded by machinery. Thus the
scythe is less minister to a modern tech
nique than the embodied evidence of
a technique soon to be forgotten. Be
fore it is too late specimens should be
collected for preservation in museums,
where future generations, technically ed
ucated, might go on bank holidays and
wonder why men ever devised such'awk
ward looking tools.

If the number of arrests recently made
and to be made in the next -few days
by the United States deputy marshals is
any criterion the criminal docket at the
Grand Forks term of federal court will
be the largest for many years.
Deputy Gil Haggart returned from
Jamefstown last night, where he served
a warrant Saturday night on John Stein
becker, postmaster at Denhoff, wlio is
charged with embezzling $1,656 of the
postal receipts at his office. Steinbecker
operates a general store in connection
with the postoffice and he is charged
with using the money belonging to the
postoffice in defraying store bills. He
was bound over to federal grand jury,
which will be convened at Grand Forks.
All of his property has been turned over
to his bondsmen, and they are standing
good for his appearance before the
grand jury.
Deputy Stout came in from Rolla last
night, having in charge William Glen
non, who was indicted the grand jury
in October last for selling liquor without
a 'government license. He ivas arraign
ed before Judge Amidon this morning
and entered a plea of not guilty. He
was bound over to the grand jury in the
sum of $150. Failing to make bond he
was committed to the Grand Forks
County jail.
Deputy Quist left for Grand Forks
this morning, having in charge W. C.
Mitchell, the newspaper man, indicted
for sending obscene matter through the
mails. He failed to make bond and
was committed to Grand Forks by Judge
Amidon.

rum This town is on tfte boom.
Miany new buildings have gone up in
the last two years-^both in the t«wn at)d

ago this country was nearly &I1 an un
broken prairie, but now the \Ml|K»lfe is un

to do is to tickle the earth with the hoe
to make"'it laugh with an -abundant

That means gold for the business men
of Colgate and gold means prosperity
riot only for the town, but for all the
surrounding country.
We have three elevators—the St.
Anthony, the Cargill and the Imperial,
all run by honest buyers who do their
best to give the farmers a square deal
and at the same time make money for
their respective companies.
This seems about as hard to do as to
split a tree crossways—yet thfey do it
for they use a golden wedge.
Next year will see a farmers' eleva
tor.
We have two general stores, both do
ing a good business and another hi the
bud, which will blossom out in full
bloom in the near future.
We have A fine livery bam run by
Wiswell & Son, where first-class rigs and
careful drivers can be had at all times.
G. W. Knowles, M, E. Brown and G.
W. Foster hdve built a fine machinery
hall and can supply the public with any
thing in their tine.
What we Heed is a bank and a Hard

for either or a department, store in
Orser's Block which will be vacant'in a

MEXICO ALERT.
Me^ean Herald: Mexico is building
port works on her Pacific coast. Her
long frontage on the world's greatest
ocean gives her an interest, and a great
one, in the vast sea stretching between
her'-arid Asia. Railways are now head
ing for Topolobampo and Manzariillo.
Fleets of ocean steamers are to connect
her ports with Mtmila, Yokohama,
Shanghai and Hong Kong. As in a
vision, Baron von Humboldt saw Mex
ico become "the bridge of the world's
commerce," and the Scotsman Patterson
declared long ago. that the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec would be the key of the
universe," and now across Tehauntepec
a British contractor of worll-wide fame
is getting a great railway in readiness
for interoceanic traffic.

try's glorious future, who cannot see
what his children are to possess, is blind
