and, although this did not bear the Wig
orous stamp of his early work, it was
by no means weak. M. Verne recently
distinguished himself by declining a
seat in the French academy for the sec
ond time. He began his literary career
as dramatist and for 10 years labored
successfully in the field as writer of
comedies. 1t was not until 1868 that he
published the first of the stories upon
which his fame was to rest. This was
give Weeks in Balloon" Its imme-
date and rebounding success induced
M. De Verne to continue to exploit him
self in this direction and the result was
that widely read series of romances
which have delighted the world, young
and old, for 80 years or more. M.
Verne's chief amusement since his
youth has been yachting. He owns
fine steam yacht and his happiest
days have been those spent on its decks.

A GruesOme Sight.

While in the woods south of New
Prague, two hunters saw gruesome
sight. Hanging from the limb of a
tree was the head of human being,
and directly underneath was the trunk,
or rather skeleton, for very little flesh
had been hanging long time, and in
the process of decay the trunk and
lower limbs separated from the head
by their own weight. The remains
were identified as those of Joseph
Luxa, a shoemaker, who has been
missing from Montgomery. A coro-
ner's jury returned a verdict of suicide.

izen, it is the damnable murder of
Mckinley, the president, that melts
75,000,OOO hearts into one and brings
hush to the farm, the factory and
the forum.
Zone of the many striking and
touching incidents occurring at Buff
falo was the meeting between the
president and Mrs. Mckinley for the
first time after the assault. The dis
patches report that Mrs. Mckinley
took seat at the bedside and held
the presidents hand. The distin-
guished sufferer looked into the face
of his good wife and said in a low
tone: we must bear up; it will be
better for us both With tears
streaming down her cheeks Mrs. Nc
Kinley nodded assent.
"There is a depth of pathos in this
little incident that must appeal force
fully to those who appreciate the
strength of the ties that bind a good
husband to a good wife.
There may be some people who
have no idea of the thoughts that
were passing through the minds of
this couple at that moment. There
are, however, many others who can
imagine what these thoughts were.
There, on the bed of pain, Law the
strong, powerful man. By his side
sat the frail woman, whose physical
weakness has been for so many years
the subject of this husbands tender
solicitude. In an humble way thew
began life together. Two little graves
had for them a common interest. In
prosperity and in adversely they had
stood together, participating equally
in the joys and sharing equally in the
sorrows of life. The wife had shared
in the great honors that had come to
her husband, and now, when the very
summit of political ambition had been
reached and political honors had be-
come so common that the conyen-
fences of quiet, domestic life were
longed for by the woman, in order.
as she often expressed it, that she
might have her husband to herself.
the bullet of an assassin had done the
work that threatened to blast the
highest ambition of this woman's
life.
"'We must bear up said the presi-
dent; it will be better for us BOTH
1t matters not to what extent other
men and women may have grieved;
it matters not how many tears other
men and women may have shed and
how much other hearts may have
ached. All of this grief and woe could
not have been so acute as was the
grief and woe which this man and
woman suppressed in compliance with
the suggestion: 1T will be better for
US BOTH"

A TWO-MILE SHAFT.
One in the Tnmarack Mines That VIII
Probably Be Carried That
Deep,

1t will require a deep shaft to de-
velop mine to the west of the Tam
arack-a shaft of nearly two miles
in depth-but in view of the wonder
full strides made in deep mining in
the past decade it is not beyond the
range of possibilities that such a
shaft may be started soon. Fifteen
years ago the sinking of No. 1 Tam
arack to vertical depth of 2,27O feet
made new worlds record, and the
men who sunk it were denounced as
lunatics until the phenomenal sue
cess closed the mouths of their de-
tractors, says the Milwaukee Senti-
mel.
The bottoming of the Red Jacket
shaft only few years ago, at depth
of 1900 feet, was regarded with won
der, and held by many to be the ulti-
mate limit in deep mining, yet to-
day the No. 5 shaft of the Tamarack
lacks but months work of being
full 5000 feet in depth, and the hoist
ing plant just installed is built for
service to a depth of 5000 feet
nearly three times the depth at which
the original Tamarack shaft cut the
lode, although then denounced as
crazy undertaking by some of the
best mining men in this district.
If the planned limits of deep min.
ing have been extended to almost
three times their original bounds,
within less than two decades, the
jump from 5000 to 10000 feet is not
such an impossible one as it now
seems to many. A snaft two miles
in depth could be sunk in ten years
at a cost, including equipment, of 3d.
100000 or 100000. In other words,
a two-mile shaft could be sunk and
equipped at about the same cost and
in about the same time as the Red
Jacket shaft, which lacks a little of
mile in depth.
There is really but one serious
drawback to the sinking of a two
mile shaft, and that is the question
of ventilation. At such great depth
the heat would be very great. The
developments of the next two years
in Nos Tamarack will settle the ques-
ton of whether a two-mile shaft
could be operated to advantage.
That it could be sunk is no longer
open to question. At the deep YER
tical shafts of the Calumet district
powerful fans are used to reinforce
the natural system of ventilation OBJ
tanning in all deep mines that have
more than a single shaft.
In the case of the hypothetical
two-mile shaft the single opening
could be made to serve the purpose
of two shafts by making the different
compartments air-tight and using
one of them for down-cast, and an
other for an up-cast, or chimney. to
withdraw the heated air from the
mine.
The compressed air from the power
drills is also powerful factor in
mine operations at great depths, as
air gives up much of it's heat under
compression, and when released
quickly robs the surrounding rock
and the free air in the mine of por
ton of their heat.

Tar and Feathers.

One of the Crookston hotels was the
scene of patriotic demonstration a
few evenings ago which rivals any
thing that has taken place in the
northwest. One of the girls employed
in the hotel, dishwasher, has anar-
chistic tendencies, and her complacency
regarding the fate of President Nc
Kinley, together with her open express
sion of sympathy for Czolgosz, got her
into serious trouble.
She was warned by the other girls
, in the hotel that she would be treated
to coat of tar andfeathers if she did
not stop making remarks about the
late president and Czolgosz. She per-
sisted in her remarks, and one evening,
after the days work had been COM
pleted, the dining-room force, rein
forced by other girl employees in the
house, broke open the door of the Of
Tending girls room and proceeded to
apply the promised coat of tar and
feathers.
One of the girls seized a chair and
threatened to brain the sympathizer
of the assassin, but was restrained
Some of the chambermaids rallied to
the aid of the anarchist and fierce
fight ensued. Hair was pulled out,
gowns torn to tatters and several faces
scratched, but finally the attacking
party was victorious.

almost sooner than expected, although
when the secretary was summoned

inception after close attention to the
social duties during Secretary Longs

New Laws.

Two new laws have become effective
in this state. The first provides against
the manufacture, adulteration or sale
of maple sugar and maple syrups other
than the genuine article, and the
other law prohibits the manufacture,
adulteration or sale of fruit jams or
fruit preserves. Many of that class
now offered in the market are held to
be unfit to eat. The state dairy de-
partment intends to enforce both laws
to the letter.

A Remarkable Series.
The series of races just closed will
always be memorable as the closest
ever sailed for the cup, and Sir Thorn
as, although defeated, will go home
with the satisfaction of knowing that
his golden yacht is the ablest for
eign boat that ever crossed the west

races not an untoward incident has
occurred, and Sir Thomas will return

of the series, but because OF the

merits of the yachts, it is not to be

run and royalty fought battles of
Saturday and Thursday.
The Finish.
At the close of the race, the Column
bia was just underneath the Sham
rocks lee bow. 1t was heart eaking,
the seconds dragged like minutes. AS
they drew near the line it was seen
thatwhat had seemed to be a safe lead
for the Shamrock had become doubt
full proposition. A second later and it
developed almost to certainty that
even if the Shamrock should cross the
line first the Columbia was within her
time allowance and had the race. AL
most as one boat they went across the
line, Shamrock first but the Columbia
so few seconds behind her that it made
no difference. Thus Columbia won in
three straight races. She was the VIC
tor of 1901.

The book of life is closed and his

After he became conscious that the

This sacred hymn contains several
lines inspired by Jacobs night at
Bethel:
Though like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
