ECHO OF OLSON DAMAGE SUIT
Mr.. Kane Accuses 500 Road Officials
of breaking Faith and Triaing
With Legal Machinery
of State.

County Attorney Kane found yesterday
that several of the most important wit
nesses for the prosecution in the case
of Theodore Bartlett, charged with per
jury, were not available, and on his mo-
| ton the indictment was nolled
In connection with the failure Of these
desired witnesses to be present at this
time, Mr.. Kane accused the officials Of
the 800" road of trIfing with the legal
machinery of the state
This criminal charge against Theodore
Bartlett is an outcome of the first trial
of the damage suit against the $500"
road, which was held in June, 1901. Bart
lett was one of the witnesses for the
plaintiff, and after he had given his
testimony was placed under arrest by or
der Of Judge Brill on charge OF per-
jury, which was based largely upon his
own admissions. He was indicted, and
the case came on for trial Wednesday,
but at that time the second trial Of the
Olson damage suit was still in progress,
and the county attorney asked for con-
tinuance, for the reason that some Ct
the records which he would want were
then in use.
The witnesses whose presence was de-
sired and who We're found to be missing
when the case was called yesterday are
NJ. D. Greiner and James G. Hutchinson,

locomotive at the time of the accident
to Olson at Enderlin, and Rev. Il. a. Oh
son. of Enderlin. Mr.. Kane said that
he had been assured by the officials of
the 500 road that they would have the
witnesses here for the trial Of this case,
and he relied upon that assurance, as
two of the men were in the employ of
the company. He said further that he
had seen indications of change of heart
on The part Of the company. He had re-
ceived a telegram from Rev. 7. A. Oh
son, which said: II withdraw promise
to come tomorrow; will not come"
He told the court that he had witnesses
present to prove the admissions made by
Bartlett, but could not establish a case
without the others.

A Simple Cure For Earache.

81 am afraid l have greatly inter-
fered with my own practice" said a
celebrated aurist, "by giving the fol-
lowing advice to many of my friends:
"At the first symptoms of earache
let the patient lie on the bed with the
painful ear Ippermost. Fold a thick
towel and tuck it around the neck;
then with a teaspoon fill the ear with
warm water.
Continue doing this for fifteen or
twenty minutes. The water will fill the
ear orifice and flow over on the towel.
Afterward turn over the head, let the
water run out and plug the ear with
warm glycerin and cotton.
"This may be done every hour until
relief is obtained. 1t is an almost in
variable cure and has saved many
cases of acute Inflammation. The wa
ter should be quite warm, but not toe
hot."-London Tit-Bits.

PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident That Led to It's Estab-
Iishment In England.

Many years ago, when Queen Vic
toria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send a letter from one Eng
fish city to another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
of the letter, as is now customary, but
by the receiver. So of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived, and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day a man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts of a city,
and he saw a pOstman bring a letter to
a young girl and demand ninepence
for it. The girl took the letter, scru-
tinized it carefully and then handed it
back to the man, saying she could not
afford to pay the postage. Thereupon
Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
it himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher
But" said Rowland Hill, don't
you know YOU are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government?
The girl admitted she did. but there
was no other way to do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea of penny postage" was the re-
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New
York Tribune.

anything back-if the bull may be al

meeting called a public official a thief.
A policeman on duty gravely rose and
addressed a remark in a low tone to
the speaker, who thereupon said, ''Tbe
chief of police requests me to retract
the word which l have just spoken.
Although the word of a sage should
never re-enter, let us make conces-
sion; let us take back the word and
keep the idea" Great applause and

But, you see," protested the youth,

CALLING UPON a FRIEND.
Hhe Way In Which Two English Ac-

Hhe Way In Which Two English Ac-
tors Once Paid Visit.
Here is an amusing story of Messrs.
Toole and Brough, the English comedf-
ans. Having appeared conformity in
drama, ''Dearer Than Life in which
they wore very ragged woebegone cos
tunes, they visited the well known
artists Fradelle and Marshall to be
photographed in their rags. While
waiting between the plates" Toole,
who was fond of lark, suggested to
his brother comedian to sally out and
call upon a certain mutual acquaint-
ance, who would be horribly shocked
at receiving visitors in such garb.
Brough at once assented, and, popping
on their battered hats, out into the
street the pair slipped and made for
the house of their friend. OF course
the neat housemaid and the heater
Buttons were Mortified and declined
even without being asked to purchase
matches or the like.
81 axes your pardon" said Toole in
an assumed tone. You're making a
slight mistake. We want to see your
master" And he mentioned the gen.
tleman's Christian name and that of
his wife.
1--WE have important business with
him." chimed in Brough.
The girls face wore dazed aspect,
and she said: Master never sees the
likes Of you at his house. He's most
pertickler, amt he, Charles?' appeal
ing to the page. you must be making
a mistake"
ooh, no, we ain'tv responded Toole
with supreme gravity. "But I'm sor-
ry William"-the Christian name of
the gentleman-"is out. l haven't got
a card about me-" pretending to fun
BILE among his rags, "but tell your mas
ter that his two cousins from the work
