A story is told Of St. Folk, the
French poet. Like many other stu
dents aspiring to the gifts of this
classic art, he forgot to pay his
debts. His creditors were larger in
proportion than the checks receive
for his poems. Ere long he founo
himself in a precarious condition,
but somehow he managed to evade
all creditors through the exertion Of
his caustic wit. One day he sat in
the BARRIERS chair with his face lath-
cred and ready to be shaved. Sud
denly creditor approached him and
in stentorian tones demanded the
payment Of a bill. "Won't you wait
until | get shave?" inquired the
poet in utmost ciyility. Certain

prospect of collecting some money.
st. Folk made the barber a witness
to the agreement, then calmly wiped
the lathcr from his face. He wore
a beard to his DYING day.

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an i, famed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the infama-

restored to it's normal condition,

nine cases out of ten are caused by

God was sure there and that God

others will not, but / was one

it became brighter and now it

self at the feet of Jesus, as st.

given by Himself, alone and
there I found JOY, also peace and

phrase, "NIay all the blessings of

SLAYER Is SENTENCED
Emil Olson. Who Killed Doree, Must
Serve 512 Years in Penitentiary.

Emil Olson must serve five and one
half years in the Minnesota state pris-
on for killing Albert Doree on the night
of July 4. Olson, who had been con-
victed of manslaugbter in the first de-
gree, was sentenced by Judge Simpson
shortly after noon today. The maxi
mum sentence for manslaughter in the
first degree is twenty years in prison,
and Olson, mere boy in appearance,
seemed pleased with his light sentence.
Judge Simpson pronounced sentence
on five men convicted of crime during
the last court session. He sentenced
Ambrose Heinz, implicated in a holdup
near the Bijou theater and convicted
Of robbery in the first degree, to five
years in the penitentiary at Saltwater,
and Frank Edwards, who broke into the
store Of the Winter Jewelry company,
drew four years and a half on a third
degree burglary charge. Emil Steen
and John O'Donnell, tho two boys i'm
plicated in the theft of key of beer
on Lyndale avenue ", were dealt with
leniently on account Of their youth.
Steen was given an indefinite sentence
in the state reform school and O. Don
nell, the younger, was placed upon pro-
baton.

The twelve men who are to determine
the guilt or innocence of Henry Nj
Sussman, ""oused of numbering his
young wife while in the Glenwood hote]
on Sept. 26, have been chosen. When
the last man had been accepted and
sworn shortly before noon today the
Judge, triers, attorneys, court officers
and spectators gave signs of relief
The defendant alone seemed sorry that
the end of the tedious work had come,
He moved uneasily in his chair and as
he looked over the twelve men in the
jury box his unhealthy pallor seemed a
shade more pronounced.
Jurors Favored Guests.
Judge D. F. Simpson and the attor-
neys, during which the crowd stared,
whispered and wondered the judge an
nouneed that court would be adjourned
until $50 Monday morning. This was
done so that the opening statement Of
the state s attorney could be followed
Immediately by the Introduction Of evil
denee and the case could be presented
In logical and continuous form. The
judge instructed Deputy Sheriffs NAL
chow and Lindquist to take. good care
journment. The jurors will be given
a theater party tonight, will be allowed
to 90 to church tomorrow and will be
given every possible liberty consistent
with the isolation in which the, law pro-
Nides they must be kept.
Monday morning will be red letter
day for the morbid curiosity seekers.
Judging from the crowds that have
persistently attended court during the
tiresome procedure of the last four days,
it will require the services of small
battalion of police to manage the on
lockers. Special arrangements have
been made by Sheriff J. W. Dreger, who
will be assisted in caring for the crowds
by the police department.

Supplementary to the details of the
route from Glenham, S. D., to Butte
already published in T he Journal
the Milwaukee road has issued the
statement of the route of its transcon-
4 tinental line from Butte to the coast
From Butte. at the foot of the west
slope of the Rockies, the line follows
and st. Regis rivers to a. point about
four miles west of Saltese, Mont, where
the ascent of the Bitter Root mountains
begins, St. Paul pass, the summit, is
reached at an elevation of 1920 feet,
and a tunnel $500 feet long will be
necessary to cross the range. The line
then follows the drainage Of the st.
Joe river to within a few miles Of it's
mouth, and crosses the Idaho Washing
ton state line just east Of Tekoa, Wash.
| The country between Saltese and the
| mouth Of the st. Joe river is heavily
| tlmbered with white pine and cedar.
From Tekoa to the Columbia river a
fine agricultural district is traversed,
the eastern part of which is very we'll
settled.
Great Bridge Projected.
The Columbia river is crossed by a
bridge Of fifteen spans having total
length of $3.50 feet, exclusive of steel
trestle approaches 1000 feet in length
at each end. The steel in this structure
will weigh 10000 tons. The grade line
is eighty feet above low water. The
piers will be of concrete.
At johnson Creek summit, about
twenty miles west of the Columbia
river, there will be a tunnel 3,4OO feet
in length, and at Snoqualmie pass
there will eventually be tunnel about
two miles long at maximum elevation
OF 1869 feet, but for the present the
operations thru the pass will be by
a surface line at maximum elevation
of 3,010 feet.
Vast forests of fir, red cedar and
other valuable timber are tributary to
the line between the Columbia river
and Puget sound.
At Maple Valley, Wash, connection
is made with the Columbia & Puget
Sound railroad, over the tracks of
which access is obtained to the ample
terminal property purchased at Seattle.
A new line will be constructed from
Black River Junction, Wash, to Taco
ma, where large amount Of terminal
property has also been secured. -
The line from Glenham to Butte is
under contract to- Mcintosh Brothers of
Milwaukee. The Bitter Root i tunnel
and approaches for two and one-half
miles on each side, are being built by
Nelson Bennett Of Tacoma, Wash. The
line between the Bitter Roots and the
coast is under contract to H. G. Henry
Of Seattle. All steel bridges and
trestles will be erected by the bridge
department of the railroad company.
Grading is completed and track laid
from Glenham to point about twenty
miles west of the Missouri river, the
crossing being made upon temporary
pile. bridge. Much grading has been
done in the Yellowstone and Mussel-
shell valleys, and subcontracts have
been let and forces are at work upon
the balance of the line.

Not hearing from the agent for sew

inquiring what prospects he had for
sending In some business. to which he
replied that, while he had talked to
most every man in town about insur-

working hard to sell the. calendars, and
had sold some as high as rs cents, but
sold one for 10 cents to man who
