At Q O'Clock they silently enter their cells.

MOST CHEERLESS EXISTENCE
KNOWN TO CIVILIZATION.
In silence their lives are spent, and even
in their last hours only the Greed and Con-
fteor pass their lips
In silence and alone. save. perhaps, the
presence of one Of the nuns and 9 priest OF
the church. who is there to administer the
last rites of the church. to listen to the last
confession, to chant the prayers for the

Such is the life of a Carmelite-the most
cherries. ahsteniouS existence known to
modern oiviiization-an existence which
only the strongest in mind and body could
endure, and one which cuts short the life
OF any who attempts 1t.
Shielded from all temptations which sur.
round the woman of the world, there must
still be a greater temptation. which never
comes to one who has not voluntarily en-
tered an exile or greater Imprisonment.
And yet priests who have been the con.
fessors OF these nuns declare that no life
is freer from unrest. is more nearly perfect
content than theirs.
The order of the Carmeiite nuns was es-
tablished in the early days Of the church.
II was practically refunded in the Six
tenth Century. when st. Theresa became
its superior.
During the time of the Spanish Inquisi-
ton it suffered great persecution. but. sur

In Italy and Spain.
The Carmel;tes were the first religious
order of the Roman Catholic Church to es-

Their attempt to gain a permanent foot
hold in this country was unsuccessful.

In its early days. but the sturdy, healthy
minded Dutch settlers would not permit
them to remain.

HELD WITHOUT BOND
States Case Against Jacobson Seems
Uncommonly Strong.
BOYS EVIDENCE ALL BACKED UE
Prospect That the UnprOvOked Muir
der of MaEnus johnson Will
BE Avenged.

Special to The Journal.
Z Alexandria, Mimi, April 2.-The testi-
mony against Andrew Jacobson for COM
plfcity in the murder of Magnus johnson
was completed yesterday afternoon and he
was held without bonds by Justice Mckay.
The state, preparatory to the evidence OF
the boy, Gustaf Larson, who did the shoot
ing, laid a clever scheme of testimony.
Several witnesses testified as to the move
meuts Of Larson on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, and Sunday before the murder.
and on Monday the day he killed the old
man. They told of various places he
had been and what he did, where he
stayed at night, where and when he
bought his revolver and all his acts
Jacobson's acts were also traced. He was
located on Thursday afternoon as having
gone to his home at a certain hour in a
certain way, 1t was shown, also, by
tracks identified as his that he must have
been at Johnson's place Monday evening
after Johnson was killed. and that he had
said he expected to have money soon and
wanted to buy tax titles. 81 80 So
When the boy was put on the stand his
testimony was exactly cOrrobOrated by
all the prior testimony
The boy, when brought to the crowded
courtroom. aroused much sympathy. He
is small for his age, rather slender, light
colnlpleXlon, and has hunted look. He
seldom raised his eyes, and then only for
a glance, and never raised his head while
In the room But he gave his testimony
readily, in low voice, rather a sulky
voice, but without hesitation or apparent
feeling. He told Of killing the old man
as he would tell of shooting rabbit. He
was not shaken by a searching cross ex-
animation. His testimony practically in
cluded the whole case against Jacobson.
I Jacobson is an understood, thin nervous
man. OF sandy complexion. He has rather
a bold eye, holding his head high, and
looked to be man of more than average
Intelligence, but of less than average
moral sense or courage

Efforts Renewed Toward a

A consolidation Of the hardware jobbing

plished fact before the first of3next jan
uary. The plan is to include at least
sixty of the leading houses. In sections

ably be established in the town which

that any of them are backing the deal

ROBBED OF
ITS IERRORS
Practical System of Transfer
at Mckenzie Evolved by
the Railroad.
New Track to Be Laid, How
ever-Old Time Service
Resumed Tomorrow
Special to The Journal.

special 10 Inc journal. s4
jamestown, N. D., April 2.-East and
west-bound trains were successfully
transferred over Lake Mckenzie last
night on the main line OF the Northern
Pacific. There is still about a mile and
half Of water, but the track seems firm
to-day, and an engine is to be used IN
transferring the east-bound train, which
will arrive at Mckenzie this afternoon
in two sections, heavily loaded with pas
sengers. The engine to be used is light,
weighing no more than heavy coach.
SO far the coaches have been sent across
by means Of fiat cars Ola number suti-
cient to reach across the lake. No at
tempts will be made to run heavy engines
across. Many passengers who made the
first trips across last night were badly
scared by the high water, but decided to
take the risk. Trains are running at
snail's pace across the lake, and precau-
lions are taken that no accident may
occur.
Hundreds OF passengers have already
been transferred east and west.
BY tomorrow the Northern Pacific eX-
poets to be able to take care of all trains,
and the usual passenger and freight serv-
ice will be resumed.
Notwithstanding the fact that trains
can again be taken care Of at Mckenzie,
work will be continued on the line around
the water Officials decided to-day to
finish the new tracks being built around
the lake. 1t is figured that the new track
can be used while the main line is being
repaired, and there is no great certainty
there will be no more trouble with the
present submerged one again when the
weather warns up.
While the officers are feeling a relief
they do not want to take any chances as
there is abundant snow left to make more
trouble. 1t is expected that by Sunday
the trains can be run on the new track,
and then Lake Mckenzie will be robbed
OF all it's terrors and be simply duck and
goose resort.

Bismarck. N. D.. April 2.-It is hoped
to bring order out Of chaos in Northern
Pacific traffic on this division within
w enty-four hours. The flood at McKen-
zie has been steadily receding and last
night the first train was taken over the
submerged track. Although the water
was still some distance above the rails,
the roadbed was not injured as seriously
as expected and it is hoped to have freight
traffic resumed within the next twenty
four hours.
Passenger trains arriving to-day passed
over the submerged track. Mails have
arrived with some regularity for the past
few DAYS and it is believed the troubles
of the Northern Pacific in this vicinity
are about over. lF asrs.s
