Out west somewhere there was lately
held a meeting OF some historical as
ISOLATION. Among the speakers was
Professor A. B. Hart. of Harvard uni
versity. Like so many eastern men
with eastern ideas Ire fails to under
stand the negro question or the negroes
themselves. He is also ignorant of
southern whites. and their condition.
He said with the usual cock-sure wis
dom of a Boston man, hat >tthe re-
mova1 of the negro from h south, by
colonization, etc.. would kill the south
ern states. The south. he said, could
not live without the negro. He de-
plored the lynching Of negroes" If
there was not a negro south of Mason
and Dixon's line the south would still
live and progress. .Lynchings are bad
but raping good and true, but helpless
women and children Is hellish and un-
bearable.

TUESDAY,.

The opening Of the case for the defense
in the famous Barry murder trial by
Attorney Erwin was concluded Tuesday
forenoon about twenty minutes before
the noon adjournment and to expedite
matters in the case, which has held
public attention now over two weeks the
work Of putting on the witnesses for the
defense was prooeerded with without a
moments delay.
Isadore Dawson was the first witness
called, mot Barry in Pembina county in
1886. He was in Milton on 3rd OF last
january saw Barry there. Witness was
standing in the Reilly drug store and
saw him drive by about 10 o'clock in the
morning. Later Barry came into the
ators enquired for DR.. Reilly who was
out. Asked where Mcqueen could be
found. Barry came in again later found
Reilly and sent him out to see his sister.
Court adjourned until the afternoon.
AFTERNOON SESSION.

Dawson, was recalled to the stand in the
afternoon and the question objected to

for 1t now, but it is GOO late. I should

The cross examination Of witness
changed little if any of the testimony OF
the witness.
In redirect examination by the state
witness stated that in his first CONVEX
sation with Barry the later stated that
he had put Aellem's fur coat on his
sister when he drove her over to Wild's.
The coat was turned over to witness q
few days later.
Herman Flom, the last witness called
before the state rested it's case, was
driving into Milton on Jan. 3rd at the
same time that Barry came to give
himself up. They met at the livery
barn, witness holding Barry's team
while later went across the street to
Justice Norgard. Barry did not tell
witness Of the murder although later he
heard portions of the story told BY Barry
at the drug store He heard defendant
tell the crowd that he had Killed man
that morning and saw him point to the
spot where he stabbed Mellem with the
knife.
Defense moved to strike out the evil
dense owing to its fragmen tary char
acter but was over ruled.

scarcely bring himself to believe that
Barry had committed the deed.
Witness gave an affirmative answer to
Attorney Cochran's query as to whether
he recognized the taking of the life Of a
fellow man as crime against God and
man. Although Barry had made different
statements in his hearing of what he had
done, nothing had been said that would
warrant witness in stating that he knew
that the man killed was Mellem or that
he, Barry had killed man. The state
was unwilling to let the witness leave the
stand sndeavoring tin( and again to lead
him into admitting that the opinion
formed was not with proper foundation.
Witness finally was excused with both
sides satisfied that the witness was only
waiting for one OF the other side to ask
the right question to get from him the
statement that he was not allowed to
volunteer. The gentleman was on the
stand in all about three hours and passed
back and forward from defense to state
with a frequency that would have badly
ratified and confused many witness, but
left the cool headed little Scotch man in
possession OF the vantage ground when
the direct examination closed. He may
be recalled later.
DR.. Reilly, another of the states wit
nesses, recalled by the defense, testified
that he had known Barry since 1885, hav-
ing had speaking acquaintance with
him all that time, had visited at the
house and for some years past has seen
and spoken with him several times each
week. In manner he was always quiet
slow and deliberate in his talk and NOV
ed about with equal slowness. He had,
however, witnessed several exhibitions
of temper displayed by Barry. On
January 3rd he first saw Barry. ION the
street, the witness was coming down
to the store after. breakfast, hailed him,
calling him into the store. What he
said was Ego and examine my sister"
The reason for. his going out there was
hard to ascertain. The talk was
incoherent and made it hard for him to
understand what trouble Barry was try
ing to explain had happened out on his
place. He said something in vague
manner that was difficult to under
stand about the pregnancy Of his
sister, Mary Ann. Nothing was said
about anyone being dead. He spoke Of

body the jury decided to hold the inquest
in town removing the remains and rope
in sleigh. Witness was present when
the doctors made the post mortem ex-
animation and saw the doctors dissect
the wound IN the neck. He didn't know
whether or not Barry did send a team
for Andrew Morken, the dead mans
cousin.
Under cross examination witness stated
thatin telling his story in the drugstore
Barry had given three versions OF now
the tragedy happened. One was that he
had killed Mellum before going to Wlld's;
another that it was after returning from
his trip there with his sister; another
that he had made up his mind that Mel
lum must die three or four days previous
to having committed the deed. Barry
also while witness was at the store gave
1T least two versions Of what he SAID
Mellem's last utterances were before pas
ing to the great beyond. One being

Albert Olson was only on the stand @
few minutes. He was another OF the
party at the drug store when Barry told
Of his crime. Addressing witness he said
"Well Albert, there was trouble this
morning. 1 killed my mas, Andrew
lellem. Barry in speaking generally to
oil present said that he wanted some one
to go and look after his stock. He was
il the store less than ten minutes. Barry
told Mcdonald, who was with him that
he wanted some one to go after Andrew
Morken as he was the only relative the
deceased had around here.
The defense did not cross examine wit
ness to any extent.
Andrew Morken, the co complaining wit
ness in the case of State of North Da-
kota against William Barry, next took
the stand. He is q first cousin OF Mel
lem, the deceased; resident OF Alma
township for 16 years and testified to
being we'll acquainted with the defend
ant William Barry. He met Barry in

what had happened. Found Barry at
the Northwestern hotel, being in com.
p,ny with Allan Mcdonald, Barry was
standing by the stove and on witness
going up to him said "How do you do
Andrew. cts sad affair-a sad az
fair" "I guess it u.s." says I. Glow
did it happen?" "Well, it happened; it
seemed it had to happen" Barry then
said had better go end look after it.
He said you will find money On him,
having given him an order for 500 g

which Barry said Mellem must still
have about his clothes as well ss valu-
able papers. Witness then inquired OF
Barry whether deceased had trunk or

Had q new suit OF clothes thai had never
been worn but never had g trunk. The
papers, $500 or $500, Barry said would
either be on the body or in his room
upstairs. They had no conversation at
this time as to how Mellem had died.
Later in the day, it was down at the
depot he met Barry who WIGS still with

The surprise of the British public
was complete when an eminent physi-
clan recently declared that the English
cold bath has been responsible for
vast proportion of the untimely deaths
of his countrymen; hence Our cousins
have no astonishment in reserve for the
affirmation OF another eminent physician
that the ancient and universal opinion
that the nose is an index to character
is a fallacy. He maintains that no soft
part which is subject to so many acci-
dental and dcvelopmcntal mutations as
the nose, and which is associated with
the brain only through the agency of
special nerve, can indicate anything con-
corning temperament or disposition or
degree of intellectual capacity. OF
course. even though such statement
should be supported by the entire body
of scientists it would make no change
in the popular belief that a tremendous
nose means a powerful mind, observes
the Philadelphia Rcrord.

AREAS of States.

It appears from the geographical
surveys accepted as a basis of the re-
cent federal census that Texas is the
largest state in the country. In the
New England group the largest of the
states is Maine: with nearly 10000
square miles OF land surface; none Of
the other New England states has as
much as 10000. Two states which are
most nearly alike in area are New
York and North Carolina. Two others
which correspond very nearly are
Iowa and Illinois. Arkansas and Ala
bama are of almost the same size and
Ohio and Virginia differ by only few
square miles. The land area of each.
is about 10000 square miles. 4.

There is to-day less OF this foul dis

point, it is with regret I learn of the
