''Mr. Riis sat in my anteToom one

with clear eyes and soft hair, but per-

were riding or motoring in the park,
he felt sorry for her, and he said gen

CRAWFORD GAME TO FINISH
MURDERER SAYS HE is SORRY
FOR WHAT HE DID AND
BIDS ALL COOLEY.

Elk River, Mimi, Dec. 7. - Il am
sorry for what / have done, and | say
good-by to everybody. That is all
have got to say"
These were the last words of Claude
d. Crawford.
1t required eleven minutes for
Crawford to hang. The drop fell at
1:4S a. m. yesterday.
Crawford was game to the finish.
There was some excitement outside
the jail because Attorney E. S. Cary
Of Minneapolis insisted that Crawford
should have representatives present,
and Sheriff Ward rejected the letters
sent by Crawford inviting friends to
be present, as he suspected that they
were newspaper men.
On the scaffold Crawford repeated
the Catholic prayers after Father
Gobel. Sheriff Bernick of St. Cloud
gave the signal to Sheriff Ward to
pull the trap There were three doc
tors present. Crawford was resigned
to his fate at the last, and said that
he forgave Judge Giddings, whom he
had declared gave him an, unfair deal
at the trial.

THE "coFFEE HEART"
1t Is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or
Whisky Heart.

Whisky Heart.
"Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home If the
drug is persisted in. You can run 80
or 40 yards and find out if your heart
is troubled. A lady who was once
victim of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:
s'I have been a habitual user OF COT
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which I became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. 1t
would beat most rapidly just after
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
81 gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely, and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago, and all my ills, the indi
gestion, inactive liver and rickety
heart action, have passed away, and
my complexion has become clear and
natural The Improvement set in
very soon after / made the change,
just as soon as the coffee poison had
time to work out of my system.
my husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, and
we find that simple breakfast with
Postum is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind of coffee" Name given by Postum

Northern Wisconsin and Northern
Michigan Hunters Are Careless.
Bruce, Wis, Dec. 1.-THE total num-
Der of the dead so far this year in
Wisconsin and Northern Michigan is
twenty-six, and fifty-one were wound
ed. More hunters were killed this
year by the accidental discharge Of
their own guns than ever before. A
great number of the dead were mis-
taken for deer by over-anxious hunt
ers. One man was driving into Arpin,
Wis, when a stray bullet shot his
whip out of the socket. A man shing-
ling barn was struck by bullet and
fell off, being killed. At Gillett Frank
Bristeff, aged thirteen, was wounded
by a bullet while walking across the
barnyard of his fathers farm. The
variety of accidents is great The
slaughter Of deer is great, but the
number of hunters was still greater.

The Rabv TerTanin

When the baby terrapin chip the shell
in September, they are an inch and q
half long; but usually they remain buried
in the sand for six months or so, to es-
cape the winters rigor, and do not
scratch their way out until the follow
ing spring.
Partly for the purpose of protecting
them against predatory birds and other
enemies the young turtles are confined
in pens in the marsh. They burrow like
muskrats and to prevent them from es-
Gaping boards are driven far down into
the mud. Meanwhile. they are fed on
cabbage (of which they are extremely
fond) and other succulent vegetables,
with plenty of crabs and fish. Under
ordinary circumstances a terrapin takes
half a dozen years to attain marketable
size.-Outing Magazine.

ROB ANOTHER SCHOOL.
Is Third Building That Has Been En-
tered in Two Weeks.

Winona, Mimi, Dec. Z. = Another
school building in this city has been
burglarized, and the authorities are
completely at a loss to understand the
motive which prompts the intruder.
The Madison school building, one OF
the ward schools, and it's annex, were
entered and every room ransacked.
Doors were broken down, drawers
burst open and books and papers
scattered around. Two small clocks
and some other small articles were
taken, but there was nothing of much
value in the buildings. Another ward
school was burglarized last week, and
the ST. Thomas parochial school was
entered two weeks ago. Considerable
damage was done, although little OF
value was taken. The police are work
ing on some faint clues.

IDENTIFY RAILROAD VICTIM.
Young Man Killed Near Sleepy Eye Is
Louis Essid.

Sleepy Eye, Mimi, Dec. 6-The man
that was struck by a passenger train
Saturday evening and killed west OF
Springfield has been identified as
Louis Essig, son of Henry Essig, a
farmer who lives three miles from that
place. He left home to go skating
and followed the track The wind was
blowing hard, and he evidently did not
hear the train when it came up be-
hind him. The fact that there were
no bruises on the body other than a
severe scaly wound back of the head
and on the forehead, has led the coro-
ner to believe that suspicious circum-
stances surround the death of the
young man, and he will hold an in
quest. The dead man was about TWEEN
ty-one years of age.

cation of the Most Worshipful Grand
Lodge of The A. F. & a. Masons of
Colorado and Jurisdiction convened
Monday morning in Leadville and
continued in session until Wednesday
evening when the newly elected grand
officers were installed by Past Grand
Master I. j. Riley of this city. The
session was by long odds the best
and most harmonious that has been
held in this Jurisdiction for some
time. The reports of the grand off.
GERS for the past year were so good
and showed such phenomenal i'm
provement over the past years that
they were given reelection. New leg
islation was not undertaken, the
greatest efforts being directed toward
getting a thorough understanding of
existing laws. A committee has been
appointed to revise and compile the
laws of the grand lodge and all bind
ing resolutions. Some effort was
made to SECURE an increase of the
amount Of money paid by the relief
fund and thi. has been set apart as
work for the next session. The work
of this department was especially
noteworthy In the first three years
of its existence, eight claims were
paid and in the last two years seven
teen more aggregating $1,000 The |
snppo t which the relief department
is receiving is steadily increasing and
ultimately it will be universal favo-
rite.
From deficit two years ago as a
result Of the failure of the affairs OF |
the Grand Lodge to be properly ad |
ministered, at the close Of this session,
the funds had increased to more than
$1,000. A vote OF thanks was tender

Tn eight months they have pushed for- ward their line at a rapid pace. The grades are much too steep, the bridges are all of wood, the German sixty are necessary evils and will be easily remedied. Haste is all-important. Proper grading and the construction of stone and steel bridges may be post poned. Work has been carried on simultaneously all along the line. Mate coast where small streams render It's transport inland an easy task. The 300 miles of track to the Yalu will probably be laid by the end of this be some years before the line can be put into final shape.
 It is possible that there may be in concerning the right of the Japanese to retain control of the road for which a French company originally obtained the concession. This company surren- dered its rights to the Karean govern ment on condition that all materials should be bought in France and only French engineers employed IT Japan is successful in the present war, how ever her position In Korea will be such that while she may, to avoid all unpleasantness pay a considerable in- demnity to the Frenchmen interested, there will be no disputing her claim to the control of the road.
 The strategical importance of such 0 line from north to south cannot be oVer-estimated. It is for this reason that steps are being taken to fortify the island of Hojedo, which guards the harbor of Masampo. A branch line connects Fusan with this neighboring town and the fortress will be for the express purpose of safeguarding the southern end of the railway.
 Commercially the railroad will do much for Korea. It will. above all things, facilitate the emigration. which the Japanese are so anxious to encour- age. The old time seven day trip be- tween Seoul and Tokio may be made in fifty-six hours. Already emlgrants are hocking to the peninsula. All along the railroad the employees of the line have formed the nucleus of an ever-fncreasing Japanese colony. Small tradesmen of all sorts are opening their little booths There are many schemes for the exploitation of the vast tracts of waste land, and in Japan the well organized Emigration Soeie- ties" will undertake to bring settlers into the fertile farm-lands. The line is the steel-tipped wedge driver far into the very heart of the Hermit Kingdom It will be a potent. fac tor in the future development of the peninsula: an effective means to Ja- pans desired end, the absolute aomt- nation of Korea.

TRADE NOTES.
Excerpt from Montgomery Letter o&
 Prominent Journal.

Montgomery, Ala. Jan. 1. 1905.
 The most prosperous holiday season in a number of years has been this one. The drop in the price of cotton cama too late to have much effect on Christ- mas shoppers. but the result is sure t0 be felt in the next year.
 The consolidation of the two shoe stores. Bullock Ss Fleming and Hicks Brothers, is a circumstance worthy of more than mere mention. Not every merchant does or Is able to get out oE the retail shoe business and swing a large banking institution.
 The Bullock Shoe Go. Is the name oe the new firm, which has moved into the store formerly occupied by Hicks Bros. It is rather a remarkable fact that this store has not only been able to hold the trade the two had before the con- solldation. but for the fall months has actually done considerably more than they did separately last year. This is not altogethet surprising. however, to one who knows Mir, Bullock. the head of the new firm. There Is hardly q more popular business man in the city. Every one who knows him is hls friend"
 The above Is from the Boot and Shoe Recorder. of Boston. one of the most prominent Shoe Journals in the world adv.
