The Stearns County Murder.

There seems to he no solution of
the murder in the town of Linden,
near Clearwater in Stearns county.
A large amount OF testimony was
taken at the inquest of the coroner's
jury but nothing was developed
that fastened the guilt or even threw
much suspicious on any one, al
though the circumstances rendered it
quite plain the Alice Leonard had
been nurdeoed. The physirians rs up
on examination thought she had
been outraged and then murdered,
but the men upon whom suspicion
might naturally rest proved quite
clearly their whereabouts during the
time that she must have been mur
dered.
There is another theory that she
was murdered by a woman because
Of jealousy. There is some talk, ac-
cording to the st. Cloud Journal
Press, OF getting a detective to work
upon the case and unravel it il posi-
BILE.

Gibson Farm Building Burned.

A disastrous fire occurred Satur-
day near Randall, about 10 miles
from this city. The farm buildings on
the large farm Of Arthur Gibson with
most OF their contents We're con-
sumed, and some stock, among them
being two blooded bulls, some cows,
one horse and nineteen pigs. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000
with no insurance. The fire caught
from a forest fire which extended
over the prairie and came suddenly
upon the buildings when mcst OF the
men were away. Some OF them had
gone to fight the fire in another di-
rection. The honseseeper tainted
and was with considerable difficulty
rescue from the flames.

Sheriff HOudc was yery iuDilan

Sheriff Houde was very jubilant
this morning over what he regards
certain victory for himself. And
it seems to be conceded that he is
quite invincible when he gets his
fighting clothes on. He acknowledges
that he is well versed in law, and is
quite familiar with every statute,
even the last law governing county
iails. He admits that his continuous
public service for twenty years has
given him more knowledge OF the
law than many attorneys possess.
AS sheriff, clerk of court, city and
town justice, mayor, ete., he has
found out all about the law. Ask
him, don't tell him. He sometimes
employs a. lawyer ais Il matter Of
form, but in return lawyers always
consult him when in need Of. advice.

were running at such speed that
they could not be stopped before
meeting.
One report is that the blame is
wholly upon Conductor Graves of
the freight train who had orders to
stop at Watab until the passenger
train passed. Another report says
Conductor Graves was running on a
time order. At Sank Rapids the Of
ficials declined to talk about the
responsibility, and Supt. Law at
Little Falls declined also to state
whom he thought was responsible
for the accident, but, said he, it is
evident that some one has blundered.
The latest reports exhonorate
Graves and blame the engineer for
passing Watab and attempting to
reach Rices. The conductor could
not. stop the train, as there were no
air brake cars near the caboose.

The St ClOud Normal.

The commencement exercises at
the st. Cloud Normal School begin

selves to teach two years in the pub

tensive course Of practice in the, mod-
el school. ,.y
The average age of the class is %
years. The members OF the class
have already taught in the public
schools OF the state an aggregate Of
14S terms.
A correspondence is now going on
which will undoubtedly secure each
! member Of the class a desirable posi-
tion for next year in some of the best
schools Of the state. Most Of them
are already elected and the appoint.
ment of the others is assured at sal.
aries ranging from $45 to $S5 pei

COLLISION OF TRAINS.
Between Down Passenger and An
Up Freight Near Watab.

The st. Paul express passing here
ats clock this morning and a freight
coming up the road attempted to
pass on the same track of the North
ern Pacific about two miles this side
of Watab and about twenty miles
from Little Falls. The accident Oc-
Cured about O'Clock this morning.
.Supt. Law was seen at the depot
this morning. He stated that the
accident was hot at all serions, as
no passengers were injured and but
two trainmen and those not seriou-
sly. Engineer Horn of the pas SEN
ger train was considerably bruised
by jumping from his engine when the
collision occurred and a baggagemen'
was somewha bruised. DR.. Courtney
of Brainerd, he said, had been some
time at the scene of the wreck and
had not informed him Of any serious
results.
LATER.
The freight train was in charge OF
Conductor Graves, and it appears
that the trainmen Of the freight
must have forgotten the passenger
train, as they were both running on
their own time. Four persons were
injured. Mail Clerk Lonsberry being
the most. seriously hurt. His arm
/ Was broken and he was > badly
Sbruised. The three Others were
trainmen; none of them suffered
much injury, and their, names could
mot be learned. A special conveyed
the injured men to the Brainerd
Sanitarirm at noon today. The
track was cleared soon afte1'1 O'Clock
ana trains are not della yed. Both
engines were quite badly wrecked,
and four cars We're thrown from the
track. The wrecking train from
Brlinerd is at work there.
The railroad accident on the North.
ern Pacific neal; Sauk Rapids and
! Watab seems to have been fully as
serious as first reported. Yet it il
surprising that it was not ever
woGse. The trains met on an EN-
bankment twenty feet high and yet
the passengerca were not thrown

ommending indefinite postponement of

penses of the county commissioners to
the good roads convention. The report
was adopted.
W. I'll. Butler was appointed janitor

GLUTTED WITH GRAIN.
st. Louis Yards Filled With I'm
loaded Cars.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12.-The local grain
blockade is still a condition and not
theory. There is still visible supply
of about 100000 bushels of grain in
innocuous desuetude in this market, and
about the only consolation dealers have
is that the same condition exists at other
grain centers. Notwithstanding the fact
that several roads decline to receive
grain for this market, there is growing
accumulation which increases the
amount on hand very rapidly. The
early marketing of grain by the
farmers, the slack foreign dem and
and the consequent low prices
give birdseye view Of situation for
which there seems to be no immediate
remedy. Everybody has surplus at
the same time, and the trading is only
in small lots. At the railroad Off ces
there was no attempt to disguise the
situation. The Burlington lines seem
to be in the worst shape. Between 400
and 500 cars are tied up in their yards,
and they are declining all consignments
of grain from every source. The Wabash
is also crowded, although all outlet in
the elevator at CarOndelet has relieved
the tension somewhat. Still they have
about $50 or $50 cars Of grain OH the
sidings. The Frisco and other roads
are also troubled in the same way, and
swell the number about 900 cars.

Skin blemishes, like

The pores are closed.
One cannot open them in

Try plenty of soap,
give it plenty of time,
and often; excess of good
soap will do no harm.
Use Pears no alkali in

All sorts Of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts Of people arc
