"A Very Sad Death.

| Mrs. Christ Olson died Of childbirth
last Monday afternoon. The nature
lof the case makes her death one of the
saddest that ever happened in this
lefty. Her husband was not home at
| the time. He was on his claim on the
Big Fork river. He telegraphed to
his wife from Duluth Tuesday stating
that he arrived there that day from
| the woods and that he would be home
on the noon train Wednesday, little
knowing that his beloved wife to whom
he was sending the message had
passed into eternity.
This was Mr.. Olson's second wife.
His frst one died about two years
ago, also Of childbirth, leaving three
little children motherless. It is a
peculiar coincidence that the two
wives Of Mr.. Olson died Of childbirth,
and that the two infants for whom the
mothers gave up their lives live. Mrs.
Olson gave birth to the child Satur-
day, and although her case was
serious it was not considered fatal at
the time. She had the best Of medical
attention. The heartbroken husband
and father has the sympathy OF the
entire community.
The funeral services will be held to-
day at the Presbyterian church at 2
O'Clock. Rev. Higgins and Rev. Will
man will officiate at the cermony. The
remains will be inferred in the. Green
wood cemetery. ..

The work of the department for the
Fast year has been fairly successful in
carrying out the provisions of the law
land organizing and systematizing the
work This has not been done as sue
cessfully as was desired because of the
many and varied duties required of the
Commissioner and. the lack of clerical
force in the department, caused by the
small allowance {cnly $1,000 per annUInl

was accomplished and there has been a

DAY OF CABLES PAST
if Wireless Signals Traverse
the Atlantic No More
Cables Will be Laid.
lBy the AssocIated Press. !

& Washington an. 1.-The effect of wire
less telegraphy on the future of the SUI
marine cable was developed to some eX-
tent today by the House Committee on
Commerce in connection with the hearing
or the proposed Pacific cable. The hearing
was largely attended Vice President
Ward, Of the Pacific Commercial Cable
Company, said he believed the company
he represented would be able to make
exclusive traffic arrangements from
points beyond the Philippines and con-
meeting with China and Japan.
Chairman Hepburn asked a number of
questions as to the test Of wireless telcg
raphy on the sub marine cable. Mr.. Ward
replied that the new system presented
a serious question. He was not certain
that the Pacific cable project would have
been undertaken if the long distance ex-
fu,6rimentS had occurred earlier. AS to the
claims that wireless signals had been
conveyed 1000 miles across the Atlantic.
Mr. Ward said that if the claims were
made good they would deter people from
laying any more cables.
President Schrymser, of the South aud
Central American Cable System, made
an extended argument favorable to gov
eminent control of the Pacific cable. cit
ing incidents of the Spanish American
war showing the Importance of govern

Slated that as good cables could be made
in the United States as in any other part
Of tho world. and he asked that American
labor and capital have the advantage of
doing this work Chairman Hepburn asked
If this American Comany was prepared
to make definite business proposition
to the United States Government. Mr..
Hughes replied that such proposition
would be submitted in due form within
the next two days.
