Engineer -feingsley of the Northern
Pacific has plenty of grit. Yesterday
he pullfed his train^ No. 3, the noon
passenger train, from Medina to Man
dan with his right forearm broken in
two places, and he stuck to the throttle
with his left hand until the, trip was
completed. In passing Medina the

it He stuck to his post until the next
station was reached, when a company
physician, who happened to be on the
train, set the broken bones and
splinted up the arm as best he could
•with the materials he had at hand.
Thus treated, Kingsley remained at
bis post and pulled the train into Man
dan with his left hand at the throttle.
Sympathetic inquirers asked as
to his condition while the train stood
in the local yards and Kingsley said it
wap. pretty painful but he'd be all right
when, he got into Mandan and could
get further treatment.
Auditor Walker picked about two
quarts of beautiful, brown worms oft
his cottonwood trees yesterday. There
were many quarts more that h.e was un­
able to get, they escaping into the tall
grass. Entomologists and worm
fanciers will be delighted to. learn that4
the cottonwood worm is of an entirely
different sort than the common green
worm that infests the box elders and
makes spinach of the: efforts of house
owners toward green trees and cooling
shade. The cottonwood wornm is a
little smaller than the adult boa con­
strictor and a few of him fill an ordin­
ary tin water pail. He is beautifully
striked, the stripes running on the
bias, and he has fur like a seal. The
capacity of the cottonwood worm is
about one tree a week when he is in
condition and has his. teeth filed. Dur­
ing the night, a rasping sound 4nay be
heard through the vicinity where the
worm is sharpening his teeth on the
gate hinges and getting, ready for the
next day's operations. Paris green
affects him like condition powders and
the only suje method of killing him
is with a shot gun. Persons who
have no cottonwood trees on their
premises will be deprived of the com­
pany of this new variety of worm,
which. easily outclasses all its com­
petitors, both in appearance and appe
tite,...

LOOTING IN CHINA.
STORY OF AN AMERICAN WOM
AN'S ACT AS TOLD BY EURO­
PEAN DIPLOMATS.
".-Jv.
New York, May 2—A dispatch to
.The Herald from Peking says:
The last general meeting of the dip­
lomatic corps was the scene of a more
acute phase of the controversy over
looting.
The question was raised by diplo­
mats friendly to Lady McDonald, who
thinks a great injustice Was done her
by the supposed reference to her in
one of General Chaffee's letters upon
the subject of looting.
Ministers of two Euroiiean countries
rose successively and made state­
ments as to Lady McDonald's behavior
on the day ot the first visit of the al­
lies to the Forbidden City, which were
practically identical. They were with
her throughout the day and declared
that she left the. palace without any
'plunder, except a yellow rose plucked
in the empress' garden.
"But?" they said, "We did, however,
witness one scene of looting which,
together with Lady McDonald, we
tried, but unsuccessfully, to prevent.
In the palace we met the wife of an
American, accompanied by an Ameri­
can curio dealer. W£ suggested that
the reception Was exclusively for the
members of the diplomatic corps, but
she* persisted in taking the curio, deal­
er, Whose, expert opinion she Wanted
upon some of' the empress' ornaments.
"Reaching the pavilion the curio
dealer said: 'Here, I am informed,
most valuable porcelain is concealed.'
"In spite of the protests of Lady
McDonald and ourselves, the wife of
the American tried to open the cup
boards. Finally she called an Ameri­
can soldier, who pried a cupboard
open with his bayonet, whereupon, nojt
wishing, to assist at a scene we could
not prevent,, we Withdrew."
The American representative at the
meeting made no reply.

HAVE BEEN SEEN
ESCAPED MURDERERS FROM
GRAND FORKS HAVE BEEN SEEN
NEAR DEVILS LAKE.
Graad Forks, May 27.—Sheriff 6ol
lins received a telegram from Sheriff
Rutten of Ramsey county, at Devils
Lake,, which stated that the Bassen.
ivella brothers who escaped from the
Grand Forks county jail in company
with two other men last Wednesday,
had been seen about six miles south
of Crary on Friday evening at about
0 o'clock, riding toward the west on
bicycles. Sheriff Rutten is positive
that he has track of the men and has
already started with a posse to capture
them. These two brothers were "be­
ing held in the county jail -awaiting
trial on the charge of having murdered
a man named Axel Anderson in a box
car in Grand Forks county agout two
months ago. It is. said the authori­
ties have enough evidence to convict
them. Sheriff Collins has offered a
reward of $200 for their arrest, /.k
THE MILITIA.
NUMBER OF THE COMPANIES
•CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN FIRE
FESTIVAL.
Fargo, May 27.—There was to have
been a meeting of the military com­
mittee of the fire, festival organization
last night, but Secretary Hildreth was
the only member present. He wanted
to make a report to the committee of
the Responses he has received from
the several militia companies about
tjhe state and take up the discussion
of other matters pertaining to the
gathering of the state militia in Fargo
during the three days of the festival.
Mr. Hildreth says that Battery A, of
Lisbon, would come if the freight on
their ,jguns were paid and horses fur­
nished them when they arrived in
Fargo. There will be fifty-three men
and three officers. Company A of the
militia cannot come. Company will
come with thirty men. Nothing has
been heard from Company at Devils
Lake, nothing from Company at
Jamestown or from Company at Val­
ley City and Hillsboro. Company
at Grand Forks can bring twenty-five
men, Company E at Ellendale wants
more information. The arrangements
will have to be made within a few
days if these companies are coming to
the fire festival, and another meeting
of the military committee will be
called early in the coming Week.
FARM IMPROVEMENTS,
The Best Is the Cheapest In Fenrei,
Stock and Be ildlnKB.
If the farmer ever expects to be suc­
cessful, he must use prudence in the
distribution of his labor and means,
says O. K. Smith in Breeder's Gazette.
A great hindrance to the progress and
prosperity of many farmers is that they
too often erect improvements careless­
ly, using poor material regardless of
the fact that work poorly done will in a
few years have to be done over. Here
is a fence that was built only a few
years ago. Now it must be built over.
Here Is a gate or a door off its hinges,
and so on around the farm. They are
generally rushed repairing, rebuilding
patching up.
Agaln, farmers too often change their
minds about how they, want the lots,
fields and buildings arranged and are
continually tearing up and changing
something, taking time and money that
could be profitably spent in other ways.
No use of this. In the Qrst place ar­
range your' lots, fields and buildings
conveniently, plan little, think over
your plans, be sure you have it as yon
want it then what you build make It
permanent. Put the fence there to stay,
nse good material. One good post that
will last .30 years wfll not cost any
more than two poor ones that will not
last half that time. Do not say you
"have not time to take pains with it. It
will take less time to fix it right now
than it will to repair It nert year. It
Is the same with all the improvements.
It will take less time and expense in
the long run to use the best in both
material and construction.
The same rule will apply to the
breeding andcariiiA' for live stock. JJm
good breeds. You cannot afford to
raise scrub stock. It is false economy
to'say the scrub' will do because he is
cheap or to say that the earth side of a
wire fence is a cheaper shelter than a
good shed. A tew good individuals as
the jjead of a herd will save the dif­
ference in the cost in the improvement
Of the quality of the offspring. Besides,
a good herd- of stock is a pleasure as
.well as a profit to its owner,
Let us make our farm such as Will be
a happy and substantial home, a fit:
dwelling place for the gunerlcaa farm­
er, whose occupation is the most inde­
pendent, most healthfnl end most prora­
ting of the present day. Therein i«

Further Details Regarding the Relea*
'^of the Prisoner and How it was
Brong^t Aboot..E^f'
Tacbina, Wash., May 27.—Word" has
been received here that Alex McKenzie,
who was released from the Alameda
jail, on an unconditional pardon from
President McKinley, is considerably
broken in health. Mr. McKenaie, not
intentionally in contempt of court,
filed with the San Francisco court on
Friday a declaration to that effect, and
asking an apology from the court,
whereupon the court, 'in answer to a
query, notified the attorney general
that McKenzie had turned over every
dollar of the gold taken out under his
receivership and in eVery way had
now complied with the orders issued
by the court, the alleged disobeyance
.of which had 'brought him into con-r
tempt. President McKinley immedi­
ately issued a pardon and the attorney
general telegraphed orders to the Oak­
land jailor that he be immediately and.
unconditionally released. It is under­
stood that Mr. Mckenzie will at once
come to Tacoma and Seattle to recup­
erate^ The sympathy here is entirely
with him and it is felt he has been the
victim of manufactured false evidence
and persecution. Capt. J. C. Barr, W
T. Perkins, Capt McCormick, Asa
Fisher and others will meet MicKenzie
here this week,
DEPOSITIONS IN NOYES O^SE.
An Oakland. (Cal.) dispatch of the
26th says: The taking of the deposi­
tions of Alex McKenzie in the cases
against Judge Noyes and Attorneys
Dudley Dubose and T. J. Geary was
proceeded with at the Alameda county
jail yesterday, notwithstanding his
precarious condition. McKenzie had
received word Of his pardon by Presi­
dent McKinley a few minutes before
the cnhmissioner appeared. McKen­
zie testified that he had acted upon the
advice of Attorney Geary when he re­
fused to turn over moneys collected
as receiver at Nome, as ordered by the
circuit court, and for which he was
sentenced to a year's imprisonment
for contempt of court.

forehead is a good indication in a colt
the poll being not so wide, as the ears
tend to droop, such horses often being
stubborn in disposition. The eye should
be prominent and the throatlatch clean,
with a Well muscled -neck. Do not ask
for a coach .Horse neck on a drafter.
The shoulders should be somewhat
sloping. Upright shoulders tend tomake
the gait stilted. While good width in
front is necessary, the legs should not
be placed to the outside of the body.
Snch horses lack the straightaway gait
and tend to ro55. The knees should
be broad and the tendons at the backs
of the legs well defined. The pasterns
should be lengthy and set well back?
the foot large, tough, with no side
bones. At, the heart girth the horse
should be deep and full. With short
back and broad loia. The quarters
should be long and level, With heavily

are the hocks, which should b® clean,
