KENNEDY SENTENCED.
He Gets Fifteen Years at Hard
Labor in the State Prison
at Saltwater.

Judge Canty yesterday pronounced
sentence upon Richard Kennedy.
Among other things the Judge said:
Il feel keenly the responsibility
that is thrust upon me, You have
been convicted OF murder in the third
degree. The penalty is not less than
seven nor more than thirty years.
1t leaves a wide range for the e2er-
else of the Judgment OF the court.
Your parents and family are hard
working and law-abiding people
and this calamity comes upon them
with terrible force. 1 have more
sympathy for them than for you.
This deed was probably committed
while under the influence of liquor,
but that is no excuse. Right princi-
pies ought to make the punishment
more severe. do not feel, however,
like forcing that principle. You are
the architect OF your own fortunes.
You had no intention OF committing
the deed while sober, and probably
not until the fatal moment. You
have been idle for a year, and a
young man who will be idle in this
country teeming with industries is
bound to be ministering to his vices.
If he is not in honest business he is
bound to end in dishonor. I.take it
you are young man OF ability. If
you had only chosen to improve it
as your father did before you this
might not havehappened. am not
inclinedto visit the severest penalty
on yot, nor the lightest.' T.

Mr.. H..A. Rider, president of the
city council of Little Falls and a civil.
engineer of experience, was in the
city last night. He has been en-
ployed by the new railroad company
as engineer and is out in the field
looking over the most feasible route
from Little alls to the Great Nor
thern. He will spend the entire
week in the field and after ascertain
Ing a number Of routes will place a
surveying party at work. He was
at Avon and Collegeville yesterday
and this morning went back to
Little Falls, driving up the west
side of the river. The distance to
the city of st. Cloud from Little Falls
is something over 80 miles, which is
several miles further than to Avon
or Collegeville, the other two Obiec-
tive points. But this difference in
the matter of distance would be
more than cuunterbalanced should
the new railroad come to st. Cloud
by the advantage In running the
road down the river, Until withina
few miles from st. Cloud the build
ing OF the line would he broom
work. as the railroaders say. 1t Is
not at all unsafe to s,ty that the new
railroad may be built to st, Cloud.

BLEW OUT THE CHS.
Chas. Charter Has a Narrow
Escape from Death In a
/. Chicago Fire.

Chas. Charter, of Ft. Ripley, was
in the city last evening, having just
returned from the Worlds Fair, and
related to some of his friends an ex-
perience that nearly proved fatal.
He had been out very late one night
taking in the sights OF the great wes-
tern metropolis, and upon retiring
committed the often fatal blunder OF
blowing out the gas. He was for
tunately discovered by the chamber
maid, who detected the smell of gas,
opened his room door and found him
unconscious. A doctor was sum-
moned, and after considerable hard
work, he was restored to conscious
ness, but was under the doctors
care for two weeks. To the extreme
lateness Of the hour, about 4 a. m.
at which he retired, and the early ris-
ing Of the chambermaid, he ows his
life, for a few minutes longer and the
deadly fumes would have placed him
beyond medical aid. He Is still sui.
iering from his experience and says
that the next time he visits the city
he will stay out all night.

Railroad Looking For
i, a Terminus.
Mr.. v. .Batz the prominent manufac-
turer and merchant of Holdings Ford
Stearns county, is in st. Cloud today.
Interviewed regarding the railroad, !,
the Leech Lake & Mississippi, which
will tap the northwestern towns Of this
county, he said the people af Holdings
Ford took as active an interest all ex-
cept voting-as did those of Morrison
county in tina passage of the bonds.
He and number of others from Hold
ing worked the day Of election in Elm
Dale. They were opposed by a party Of
Royalton men headed by Marcus Kobe
the redoubtable dealer in silkes and
syrups of that town. The vote in Elm
Dale stood 1853 for the bonds and % a.
gainst and the Holding people are jubi-
liant at the result of their work.
The question that now comfronts the
projectors Of the railroad and one which
is Of deep interest to the people Of the
towns through which the railroad will
pass, is the western terminus Of the
road. The neurest point to Little Falls
on the Great Northern is Avon. This
is % miles, but another route surveyed
to Albany, shows this to be three miles
longer than to Avon. This latter route
will take tile new line through Holding
Ford, with it's saw mill and where there
s a great deal Of wood and ties market
ed. The people Of Albany .will:probably
vote the new road some aid. -ts".4
A gentleman in St. Cloud In the EN-
ploy of the Great Northern, who is ia
miliar with the pography Of the coun-
ty says that it wilt be impossible for the
new road to run into Albany owing to
the high hills east Of the village. Avon
will be the objective point. he thinks, II

evening for q time threatened se-
rious destruction OF property. It
started south Of the j.. F. & D. track

REPORTING FOR NEWSPAPERS.
The Vast Field for Genuine Literature u
the I.ifc OF the American People.

The Vast Field for Genuine Literature In
tho Iife OF tho American People.
To THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: AS to fee
bleness In some Of the writing Of the time. We
need especially here IN New England. q
clearer sense Of the value Of reporting. and Of
its relation to literature. We have much
writing which is spun out Of minds not IA
miliar with American life and thought 1t is
often pretty and graceful enough. but it lacks
tho sure footing. the substantial quality. that
results from direct observation of the facts Of
life Culture cannot take the place OF this con-
tact with actual life and its conditions. What
we may need to make our literature more vital
is to be chiefly looked for. 1t seems to me, in q
deeper and wider study OF the American peo-
pie themselves. and the contents OF their minds.
II the records OF such study would not be
literature. they would at least supply excellent
materials for literature.
The reporting should be genuine. The
American people are the audience. and they
can safely be trusted with tho truth but many
writer's are so eager to supply rendy-mad
which these are based IS comparatiyeiy Inn
tied. They think that reports should be favor
able to their ideas. that whatever they ap-
cesses rather than failures. When the FIRST
elections were held unIertho Australian ballot
the reform prepared reports beforehand Of the
progress Of the elections In the various coun-
ing we'll 10 practice. and had put an end to
bribery in these places. These reports, were
sent out from 4,e cities and telegraphed back
polling places at various hours Of the election
day. In some OF the towns which were thus
reported the law was openly disregurded. but
some very encouraging editorial articles had
these reports for their foundation. Accounts Of
an occurrence written before 1t takes place.
and at q distance from the scene of it. have
none OF the qualities Of genuine reporting.
AS have wandered among the mass of our
people In nearly every part Of this great land.
Immersed In the atmosphere and substance of
their life and thought, l have had growing
sense Of the richness and variety OF the ma.
terials for American literature, which still
await adequate treatment in this vast field.
Nothing else gives one such an impulse and up
lift. such. certainty that life still ahounds. and
that its interest Is inexhaustible. as to be at
with them and OF them. II could report their
life and its movement who would might write
literature. ]. b. HARRISON.
