TWO SPANS JOINED.
Bridge at Duluth the Only One of the
Kind in America.

Duluth, Nov. 16.-The two spans of
the aerial ferry bridge across the
ship canal were during the day sue
cessfully joined and the work OF COM
pleting the structure will now be nm
ished rapidly The bridge is the only
one OF the kind in the Western hemis-
phere and is considered by eminent
civil and mechanical engineers to be
one of the most wonderful triumphs in
engineering skill in existence. 1t is
1856 feet above the surface OF the lake,
sutticien to allow the tallest masted
ships to pass under it without inter
ference. The span is 400 feet and
cars capable OF holding street cars,
vehicles of all descriptions and $50
passengers at time will be operated
by electricity, moving from one side
to the other by means of suspended
ca bles. When the connecting bar OF
iron was placed during the day it was
the occasion of big demonstration
on the part of a throng of prominent
citizens and others who had been in
vited to witness the feat.

GOES TO JURY.
Motion for Instructed Verdict Denied
in Turrittin Case.
From Wednesdays Uailv


The suit of George w. Turrittin as ad-
ministrator of the estate of Leroy Tur-
rittin, deceased, against the Omaha
road went to the jury late this after
noon, and then the defendant moved that
the court direct the jury to return YER
dict in favor of the defendant on the
ground that the plaintiff had failed to
prove any negligence on the part of the
defendant, and that the evidence show
ed that the plaintiff himself was guilty
of contributory negligence, and that
in accepting the employment he assumed
the ordinary risks incident thereto.
The court excused the jury until this
afternoon at two o'clock, and the entire
forenoon was devoted to arguing the
motion. When court convened this af
ternoon, Judge Cray denied the motion,
and the arguments to the jury were
made.
Attorneys concede that the questions
involved are close ones. and the case
will undoubtedly again go to the SUI
preme court.

Murray on the charge of robbery in the

DISCUSSIONS INSTRUCTIVE.
sion--Program Tonight.
From Wednesdays Daily.

From wednesdays DAILY.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
the state conference of the Baptist min
listers and delegates, mostly from the
Minnesota valley, was opened in the au-
ditorium of the First Baptist church.
Rev. E. r. Pope of Minneapolis, state
superintendent of missions, gave talk
on Pastoral Evangelism"
At the evening session, Rev. DIR. Holt
of Minneapolis spoke on Degrading In
fuences in Church Life" There was
beautiful vocal music by the male
quartette, consisting of Mr.. Young of
the commercial college, III. r. Harmer,
Roy Holmes and Prof Goldsmith. Rev.
Chandler of Minneapolis delivered an in
spring address on Character and Evan
gelism."
This morning the conference assembled
in the church at ten O'Clock and listened
to two addresses. District Missionary
Hallowell of Mortified spoke on EVAN
gelism and Discipleship'', strong COM
mon sense being the most striking char
acteristic of his address. DIR. Randall
spoke on "The Pastor and Evangelism"
At the afternoons session DR.. Holt
handled the subject, "Home and Evan
gelism." 'The. Sunday School and Evan
gelism" was the topic handled by Rev.
M. B. Critchett of Sherburne.
Rev. F. L. Anderson will address the
meeting this evening. Miss Mabel Moore
will sing.
The attendance at the conference, as
usual has kept steadily growing every
hour since it opened. Somewhere be-
tween thirty and forty have come to
the city for the purpose.
Such periodical conferences as these
act as a powerful incentive to mission
airy work. They place the problem be-
fore everybody who takes enough inter
est to attend. The meetings are open
to the public and those in charge of the
conference are glad to have the reading
and discussion of the papers attended by
all who care to come. Many a church
member has thus been made a mission
airy. 1t is the aim of such conferences to
render every church member, as far as
may be, a missionary. AS direct re-
suit of the Baptist conferences in the
state last year there were added three
hundred members to the Baptist
churches.

HAD TO HIDE 1T

A mother wrote us recently
that she had to keep SCOTS
Emulsion under lock and key
her children used to drink
it whenever her back was
turned. Strange that children
should like something that is
so good for them. It's usu-
ally the other way. SCOTS
Emulsion makes children
comfortable, makes them fat
and rosy-cheekcd. Perhaps
that's why they like it SO
much they know it makes
them feel good.

 Inning Contest from Hartford.
 An error by Landy. Holyoke's third baseman. in the last half of the eighth inning in yesterdays game at savin Rock gave the contest to New Haven. Up to this inning neither side had been able to score and not man had reach led third, CorcoYan and Vorhees both pitching great ball. In New Ravens half of the eighth Cornell was the first man up. He hit an easy grounder to Landy, who fumbled it. Hayward, the lnext man up, hit hard ball to Vor- hees. who quickly fielded the runner Iout, Cornell taking second on the play. Bannon then came to the bat and the Isecond ball pitched he smashed over second base for clean hit, scoring Connell. On the throw home to catch the latter Bannon went to second, but was caught between second and third on an attempt to steal on an easy Igrounder of Fftzmaurice's to Vorhees. Golden struck out. retiring the side. In their half of the ninth Holyoke sent a shiyer through the local rooters. After Fitzpatrick and Batch had been retired on infield hits Slater cracked out the only two-base hit of the game. It went way over Fitzmaurice's head and might have been good for home run on hard CT grounds. Bertwhistle then came to the bat and it was up to him to tie the score. A base hit was needed, but the
 best he could do was to hit a sharp grounder to Anderson, who threw him out at first, ending a well-played and Interesting game in all respects. Hol- yoke got but two hits off Corcoran and New Haven but three off Vorhees. The
 only error of the game was that by
 Landy Golden and Connell again dis itinguished themselves in the outfield.

Complete Treatment for Every humuur, from PimpIes

The agonizing itching and burning of the skin, as in eczema; the frlghtful scaling, as in psoriasis; tho loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in sealed head; the facial disagreement. as in pimples and ringwcrm; the awful suffering of infants and tho anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tet- ter and salt rheum, all demand rem edy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the stand- ard skin cures and humcur remedies of the civilized world.
 The grandest testimonial that can be offered the Cuticura remedies is their worldwide sale, due to the personal recommendations of those who have used them. From a small beginning In the simplest form, against prejudice and opposition, against monied hosts, countless rivals, and trade indifference, Cuticura remedies have become the greatest curatives of their time, and, in fact, of all time. for nowhere in the history of medicine is to be found another approaching them in popularity and sale. In every cline and with every people they have met with the same reception. The confines of the earth are the only limits to their growth. They have conquered the world.
