There ia more catarrh in this Sec

last few years was supposed to be
incurablo. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis
ease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has prOyed
catarrh to- be q constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires cOnstitu-

Agood house greeted the first pre-

wonders with the classes under his SUI

executed with a grace and ease ct
movement which would be expected
to come only after months of prac-

rious dances were tasty and appro-
pirate and added not little to the
beauty OF the stage scene: #s#
The dances by the children were
first on the program and the ac-
curacy and precision in their move
ments showed great deal Of pains
in their preparation. The court
dance and the dance OF the different
nations were all interesting and well
executed, and the serpentine dance
under colored lights was something
pretty and new to the audience. NJ

and ancient Greek dance and tab

HEssELGRAvE ACQUITTED.
The Todd County Man Who Killed His
Wife Is Discharged Z
This Week.

The trial OF Alfred deS6elSr0Ve, OF
Todd county, for murder was held In
Long Prairie this week, and after
the testimony was taken the state
moved to dismiss the case, and it
was done Last winter while
Hesselgrave and his wife were walk
ing along a road the man struck the
woman on the neck with his ak, kill
ing her instantly. He claimed it
was an accident, but the authorities
demanded an investigation and 1T
was decided to prosecute him. The
Long Prairie Argus prints the testi-
mony, and closes the account OF the
trial with the following statement:
"This closed the testimony in the
case and the court took a short re-
cess. after the recess County At
torney G.. W. Peterson addressed the
court and the jury, stating that after
probing the matter to the bottom
he found that the evidence was not
gu tficient to convict the defendant
and moved that the court instruct
the jury to find verdict OF not
guilty. He said the prosecution had
done It's best in the effort to protect
society in such cases, but felt that
the rights of the defendant demanded
such an action on his part.
"Judge Searle gave quiet a review
of the law touching such cases and
the necessity Of Investigating circum.
stances surrounding the death OF a
person where there may be a suspi-
cion OF crime, stating that in this
case had the jury found a verdict OF
guilty he would have been compelled
to set it aside, as the evidence did
not warrant such a verdict. He then
instructed the jury to find a verdict
OF not guilty, which they did. The
court room was crowded with peo-
pie and the announcement of the YER
dict was greeted with applause.
County Attorney Peterson was
warmly commended by many for
his action.
''MOst of those in the court room
shook hands with the defendant
which showed that after having the
evidence the sympathy OF the people
was with him. He can now 20 out
into the world with no faint of sus-
picion attached to him and with the
sympathy of everybody for the SUI
fering he must have endured in being
charged with, numbering the wife he
loved 80 well.
"a peculiar feature of the case WIS
the fact that the family of the defend.
ants wife stood by him all the way
through the trouble from the arrest
to the end"

Nothing that has ever been written about the arctic mosquito begins to come up to the real thing said a guest in the St. Charles corridor the other evening. T went up the Yukon river in the summer of 1896, represent ing the Alaska and Dominion Trading company, and We struck mosquitoes as soon as we got into the hills. They are twice as large as our familiar bayou species and their sting is like the prod. or q hot needle. They sweep along the valleys in dense clouds, and if they catch a man unprepared they are liable to blind him before he can escape. I heard stories of children being gtuHg to death. and can readily believe them. Whenever we went ashore Ne wore heavy hat nets and took the utmost prseautson, but were certain to suffer more e less.

AMERICANS IN TIE ANTARCTIC
Palmer Named Washington Strait and
 Monroe Bay tn 1891.

The first important discovery of land by an American came about in 1920. Al that time the South Shetland islands, sighted by Dirk Gerritz in 1898 and by him named New Iceland, had just been undiscovered by Sir William Smith and, according to the good old Eng fish custom. duly rechristened. They seemed to offer a good field for sealers and promptly a feet from Stonington was on hand il Yankee harbor. then the sautHafnmost refuge known. The commander, Capt. PendIeton, noticed lofty peaks still farther south and sent Capt N 3. Palmer in the stoop Hero, but little rising D tons. to make in vestlgatIons. Capt Palmer found the eew country extensive, but bleak and useless for sealing, and he promptly

WHAT THE EAGLE SIGNIFIES.
Why It Was Chosen as the Enblamafie
 Bird of America.

Bird of America. From the Detroit Free Press: Ir ancient mythology the eagle was be- Iieved to carry the souls ef the dying to their abode on Mount Olympus and was called the bird of love. The eagle vas first taken as a symbol of royal power by the ancient Etruseans. who bore it's image upon their standard. Tn the year 87 B. C. 8 silver eagle. with extended wings, poised on the -op of a spear, with q thunderbolt held in it's claws, was adopted as the miIi- tary standard to be borne at the head of their Iegions by the Romans. At the time of Hadrian a golden eagle was substituted for the silver one. A two-headed eagle was adopted by the Byzantine emperors as 3 symbol of their control of both the east and the west. The doubIe-headed eagle Of Russia was adopted on the marriage 0f Ivan l. with a Greeian princess of the eastern empire; chat of Austria was first used when the emperor ot Germany took the title of Roman en- neron. =Ih he national standard of Rus sin bears black eagle. that of Poland 2 white one. Napoleon I. took q gold ea eagle for his standard. modeled of pufe gold and bearing a thunderbolt. after the pattern of the eagle of the Romans. This standard WAS disaset under the Bourbons, but was restored by a decree Of Louis Napoleon in 1852. The eagle was first used on American coins iu 178S, on cents and half-eents issued from the Massachusetts mint. t WAS adopted in the plan of 3 nation al coinage as a design upon all gold coins and on the silver dollar, half- dollar and Gaarter-doflar. The design of the eagle was at ono time suggested for the national flag, but was aban- d5bed

GLAZED PAPER.
nsla as the Cause for tbe Alara.ias In.

Bold as the Cause for the Alara.lng In.
 crease in Near-sigAteaasss.
 According 10 q certain number of German eRhthalmoIegis5s. the use of glazed paper has a prejadiela3 effect upon the eyesight. There les tae cause. they say, of the continuous 8n- crease of myopia during the Iasr fifty years. Formerly 3 dull, grayish paper Of coarse texture vas used Now the paper has smooth. brilliant surface. with luminous reflections that were ab- sent from the rough surface Of the old paper. In old books a soft light easily brought out in relief the characters. which were printed in heavier, blaeker type. Now. with the glazed surface. the light is all the more reflected. be- cause the characters themselves ars finer and less pronounced thus giving rise to a play Of light and shade that is most fatiguing to the eyes. To prove this 1t suflees to take an old edition of the magazines printed ar tistieally and compare the effects pro- dueed on the eyes after half an hours reading. For this reason hygienists recommend the avoidance of glazed or highly polished paper in schools. The paper should be of q grayish or biueish tinge. Tn any case 1t should not be white. and never brilliant.

He cannot, ha says, pass along the street without ob- serving elean-shaven individuals start and turn pale when their eyes light on him. But worse things befall ii. Bon fer. Tn the Rue de Douai q few days ago a well=dressed yaung woman faint ed on pereeiving him When she re- covered she repeated ia terror-striekea accents, @It is he. t is het" and the crowd, mistaEiHg the reason of her fright imparted to II.

The public were delighted. Of course. but not so M. Bonier, who got up and left the concert. II. Bonier much re- grets his resemblance to the late critic. the results of which he declares to be most annoying to q peaeahie trades man.
