Sheriff Genyea Passed Thru
Bemidji Today With Stay.
er OfNeIs Nelson.
SHERIFF SAYS LARSON HAS.
MADE FULL CONFESSION.
Denies Story That Mob Attempted
to Hold the Prisoner at
NerthOme.

Sheriff Louis Gonyea of Crooks.
ton was in the city today on his
way back to Crookston in com
pany with Theodore Larson, the
self confessed murderer of Nels
Nelson at Crookston on Nov. 49,.
1903.
Larson has made a full con.
fession in writing to the justice
Of the peace at Northome, and
the confession has been sworn
to by him. He fully admits that
he killed Nelson with an axe
while crossing a bridge Crooks
ton and that afterwards he threw
the body into the river. He says
that the reason for giving him
self up is that since the commits
sion Of the crime he has not en-
joyed a moments rest and that
his conscience has Dubbed him
to such an extent that at times
he has been driven almost mad.
Sheriff Gonyea denies the story
circulated from Crookston to the
effect that a mob had attempte
to hold the prisoner at Northome
because there had been no war
rant issued for the arrest of Lar
son, and says that the only reason
that Larson was not i'm mediately
taken back to CrookstOn after he
had made his confession is that
he did not wish to have man in
charge who had confessed to
such a serious crime without a
warrant in his possession. He
states that during his S ay at
Northome he received the best of
1fea6inenC from Jne people or
that village and that not the least
sign of any attempt to interfere
with-him was made.
Larson's mind is not I'M.
balanced,as it was first supposed,
as he was examined by doctor
at Northome, who declared him
to be mentally sound.
Larson states that he is SO
years of age. Whether or not he
has a family is unknown. He is
a wreck physically and when
taken from the M. & I. depot to
the Beltrami county Jail this
morning could scare ely walk.

Young Man Who Forged
Check Given Reformatory
Sentence.
MAY NOT BE COMPELLED TO
SERVE FULL TERN.
If Conduct is Good He May Be
Released by Managers of
the Reformatory.

Judge Spooner this afternoon
sentenced Stephen M. Collins,
alias Archie Keene, to the state
reformatory, where he will serve
five years unless his conduct is
good enough to warrant the
board of managers of the insti
tuition to release him on parole.
Sentence was to have been pro-
nounced this forenoon, but owing
to the business of Clerk of Court
Rhoda, who is hearing, final
proofs, the matter was postponed
until this afternoon.
Collins will be at once taken t.
the state reformatory at ST
Cloud to begin serving bis sen
tence.
Only five days have elapsed
since Collins appeared at the
First National bank with a check
for $3.50 which he himself forged,
The same night he was arrested
at Duluth, brought back to Be.
midi the next day, and today he
received his sentence. He seems
to take every thing very philoso-
phically, and has not once ex
pressed sorrow or regret that he
committed the crime.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an infamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it IS entirely
closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucu-
Gus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dol
lars for any case of deafness

be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.

THE ITCHING WAS TERRIBLE.

EscoNDIDo, San Diego Co., Cal, Oct. 1000.
DEAR SIRs-My body broke out with
rash or eruption. The itching, especially at
night, was simply terrible; it would almost
disappear at times, only to return worse than
ever. I had tried many preparations with
out benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determine
ed to give tia fair trial; a few bottles cured
me entirely, removing every blemish and
pimp1e from my body. 1. MARNo.

TORMENTING ECZEMA.
Kansas Cry. Mo-. Nav. 1858,

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, May, 1898.
In 1896 I experienced at times
patches on the inside of my hands that
itched and burned, causing much dis
comfort. AS time went by it grew
worse. I had read medicine in my
early twenties (now so years of age)
and was convinced that I was afflicted
with a type of Eczema. I consulted
several physicians and a number of
specialists, and used several external
applications, one of which was claim
ed to be a certain specific. confess,
however, I had but little faith in
external applications, yet I used them,
receiving but slight temporary relief.
In February I decided to tryS. S. S.,
and in less than month experienced
a change for the better, and by May
of that year all symptoms had dis
appeared, and I found myself entirely
cured, and have had no return of the
ai9ease sinee' w. P. BRUSH,

BAD FORM OF TETTER.

For three years had letter on my hands,
which caused them to swell to twice their
natural size. Part of the time the disease
was in the form of running sores, very pain
full, and causing me much discomfort. Four
doctors said the letter had progressed too
far to be cured, and they could do nothing
for me. ItoolS only three bottles of S. S. S.
and was completely cured. This was fifteen
years ago, and have never since seen any
sign of my old trouble.

FANTASTIC CELEBRATIONS

Mysteries and Moral1tles at Christ
mas In Middle Ages.
During the middle ages Christmas
was celebrated by the gay fastasdc
spectacle Of dramatic mysteries and
moralities given by personages in gro
tesQue masks and singular costumes.
The scenery usually represented an in
fant in a cradle surrounded by the Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph, bulls heads,
cherubs, eastern magi and many orna-
ments.
Then there We're the Christmas car
OILS or some which recalled the songs of
the shepherds at the Nativity. These
songs were attended by dances to the
rhythm Of the various musical instru-
ments. Everybody joined this merry
making; and the wild music and sing
ing were kept up the lvelong night.
OF these ancient Christmas carols but
few have been preserved to US. Thefore-
going seemed to be the custom Of ali
Christian nations during the middle
ages.
In Italy it was the custom Of the
Calabrian m1nstrels to descend from
the mountains and discourse their wild
music before the shrine of the Virgin
Mary. In England and on the CONT
nent the bells are still rung at mid
night. Among other revels Of the
Christmas season were the so called
feasts Of fools and asses, in which ev-
erything serious was burlesqued, in
feriors dressed up as their superiors
and great men becoming playful, the
whole showing the proneness of man
to reverse the order of society and to
ridicule it's decencies.
In England Christmas is a term at
once for religious and merrymakina
festival for every rank and age, the
festivities commencing on Christmas
eve and lasting till Candlemas, and ev-
cry day being a holiday till Twelfth
Night (Jan. g.. In the houses Of no.
