CHARLIE" CALENDER,
Who Has Quit the Mines to Appear
With the Elks.

When Charlie" Calender saw Sen
ator "Bill" Scholfield's picture in the
"Astorian" the other morning, pro-
fessional jealousy got the better OF
him and he protested strongly to the
committee. He claimed to be much
better comedian than "Bill' and want
ed his picture put in the paper. To
pacify him and keep peace in the com
pany, the director told him to have his
picture taken for publication with the
result that splendid likeness of him
adorns this article. Just as the photo
grapher pressed the button, poor
Charlie burst into tears, and the
camera caught the sad expression
which is depicted above. Notice the
agony in his eyes, and the drop Of
his cupids-bow mouth. If you look
carefully you can see the tears cours-
ing down his rosy red cheeks. How
ever, everything has been arranged to
his satisfaction and he has been prom
ised milk bath and the stars dress
ing room. Charlie" is one OF the
shining lights in the company and
will be seen all his peistine beauty
on both nights OF the show.

"As long ago as | can remember
my mother was a faithful user and
friend Of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, but never in my life have real
lied its true value until now,' writes
Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howelps
American School, Havana, Cuba. "On
the night of February 3rd our baby
was taken sick with very severe
cold, the next day was worse and the
following night his condition was
desperate. He could not lie down
and it was necessary to have him in
the arms every moment. Even then
his breathing was difficult. | did not
think he would live until morning. At
last thought of my mothers remedy,
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which
we gave, and it afforded prompt re-
lief, and now, three days later, he
has fully recovered. Under the cir
cumstances would not hesitate a
moment in saying that Chamberlain's

the life Of our dear little boy" For

CLOTHES AND THE MAN"
"Belinda--the Beautiful Boilermaker"
A Novelette,.

1t was dark and gloomy night
the MONDAY sun shone brightly on
the lovely asphalt pavements of AS
toria. Just then soul-stirring thing
happened! Approaching on the feet
o fthe wind was Belinda, the beautiful
boilermakerl In hot pursuit thunder
ed Relentless Rudolph, the Remorse-
less Ruffina. "He! HaW cried he,
between his clenched teeth. "At last
you are mine," and with one wild
plunge he seized her lovely form in
his grasp. With their breath coming
in short pants, they heaved nightly,
back and forth, and suddenly, with
one superhuman effort, Beautiful Be-
linda freed herself from the ferocious
iiend "Unhand me william she cried,
in accents wild. Give me. oh give
me back me-h chee-ild. will never
be your bride / am promised to an
other" The furious Relentless Ru-
dolph laughed with ghoulish glee and
as he started towards her said.
Wherefore, o bcauteous maiden, wilt
thou not marry me-" With superb
scorn flashing from her lovely orbs,
al one glance she took in his ill-htting
Kabiliments and said, Because" you

TRAFFIcKING IN OLD HORSES

Horrible and revolving to the ex'
treme is the traffic in old worn-oui
horses regularly carried on between
England and the Netherlands, ending
with the final scene in which the most
useful and human OF all domestic an
imals is served up on platter in the
form of so-called Bologna sausage
and flet d'anvers.
The sufferings Of the horses are the
most intense during the passage from
England to Rotterdam on shipboard.
Tied up in roughly constructed stalls
between decks, they are at the mercy
OF the storms, and in many instances
are thrown into tangled heaps
on top OF one another. All that SUR
vive are dragged from this tangled
heap to start the miserable process
sion through the streets to the
slaughter house, their most unsightly
wounds covered with sacking. A
picture of old horses tethered in the
hold Of vessel accompanies an arti-
Gle on the subject in the April num-
Der of Popular Mechanics.

another man lost their lives in
shaft that was being sunk,
being overcome by foul air or
gas. One of the piers of the
bridge near town was found to
be settling and shaft was
sunk to find out the cause.
Some boys playing near the
shaft went down into it and
were overcome by the gas. In
the attempt to rescue the boys
these two men lost their lives.
w. D. Convis whom our people
will remember as clerk in G. G.
Banks store here proved the
hero of the day by going down
into the shaft and placing ropes
about the bodies of all four suf-
focated, which was the means
of their being drawn to the
surface. They were all revived
except the two mentioned
above. Mr.. Thompson was a
brother of Mrs. w. d. Convis.

During the past few weeks a
certain individual from Winni-
peg has been travelling around
in the southern and western
part of the country represent
ing himself as an optician and
Judging from reports he met
with some success in financial
way. His plan seemed to be
to take notes where cash could
not be secured and then turn
around and sell the notes at
some bank at a heavy discount.
He worked along the 500 and
took in Nekoma, Iona and
Alsen, where he quit for awhile,
but bobbed up at Sarles later
on and from there went to
Calvin, and still later to Munich
where he was arrested Tuesday
afternoon by constable Nc
Dougall.
A. O. Void, secretary of the
state board of examiners, got
wind of the fellow being at
Calvin and secured an auto
early Tuesday morning to go
out there, but upon arrival
found that he had taken the
train down the line that morn
ing, but inquiry located him at
Munich, but before Mr.. Wold's
arrival he had secured a team
to go out in the country, so the
constable was left there to
await his return in the evening
with the result that the fellow
was landed and brought to
Langdon late Tuesday night.
Yesterday morning he plead
guilty before Justice FarrA and
was fined $26, including costs.
which is probably enough to
remind him that if he wishes
to practice optometry in this
state he will have to pass an
examination in the regular
way.
His plan seemed to be to steer
clear of all towns and do his
work in the country; to cut out
advertising 80 as to avoid
publicity and to take notes
from the farmers and sell them
at the local banks at discount.
This is the second arrest
made in this state under the
optometry law and will no
doubt serve as warning to all
fakirs that they had better
seek other neutrality-suspicious.,

Land Famine In America.

The time is passed when a
man might move westward
and take up virgin soil at his
pleasure, and in general, it
way be said that the son of the
farmer of todav must look for
his sole heritage in the land
his father holds. 1t is now a
barren boast that Uncle Sam
has farm for every one of u.s.
In 1905 we had less than
80, 600, 900 acres of unoccupied
habitable land. What a slim
reserve that is may be realized
from the fact that one-fourth
of it was disposed of in the fol-
lowing year. We cannot add
to our agricultural areas except
by irrigation and drainage,
but we may by intelligent Sc
lection of crops, by scientific
cultivation and by careful
treatment of land, make it
produce three or four times as
much as it does at present.
And this is the direction in
which our development should
proceed, for we must find room
within the next 80 years for a
doubled population in a terri
tory already fully occupied ac-
cording to our undiscerning g
ideas. The American farmer
of the future must be a man of
broad mind and technical know
ledge. He must apply to his
operations the same thoughtful
management, precision and
foresight that characterize the
business conduct of the manu-
facturer and merchant.
There is no reason why our
farmlands should not yield as
bounteously as ever they did
or as those of older countries
do. But such a condition can
be brought about only by in
telligent effort and selfsacritice
on the part of our present
farmers. More is needed than
the mere cessation of the de-
structive methods of cultivation
in practice. A definite system
of restoration must be pursued.
This may entail some curtail-
ment of immediate profits,
but ultimately compensation
for the loss is assured. The
farmer who shall enter upon a
recuperative plan of treating
his land by fertilizing it. rotat-
ing crops, etc., will enjoy a
constantly increasing yield to
the acre. 1t is safe to say that
at the end of 80 years, the ag-
gregate returns from the land
will prove to be as great as
could have been secured by any
other method. But there will
be this important difference,
that, whereas by the present
reckless manner of tillage he
must leave a greatly impaired
property to his children, by
careful cultivation he can
transfer to them vastly inn
proved land. The Craftsman.

Joe PeIiler Makes Confession.

Wednesday evening after the
Indians case had gone to the
jury Joe Peltier made an
alleged confession of the crime
to Judge Goss. His story was
substantially as follows:
He claims that they, he and
the Indian, got possession of
the gun by bartering with old
man Seidel for the purchase of
the firearm. He says he struck
the blows which killed the old
man and that the Indian went
into the room occupied by the
girl and attempted to kill her.
He was unable to overpower
her, 50 Joe ran into the room
to help.
He tells a blood curdling e
tale about holding the girl
hands above her head while
the Indian beat out her brains.
He says that pieces of the
brain spattered over the room.
They then threw the body on
the bed, upset a lamp thereon
and struck a match to the
spilling kerosene.
He says when they discover
ed Amos Hiatt at the window
they ran back to the door and
stood there ready to strike him
with the gun should he attempt
to enter.
Yesterday morning the Jurors
were again summoned and Joe
was brought before them that
they might hear his story.
He attempted to tell the same
story as he had told the judge
but his tale was full OF
contradictions.
Charley Peltier was also
brought in and has also told a
new version of the murder.
At first he claimed he ran
away when the first blow was
given the old man. Later he
claims he was there until the
Indian and Joe left and says
he became frightened when
they Joe and the Indian) went
up stairs, fearing they would
be burned to death as the fire
was making rapid progress.
Joe has made three alleged
confessions and none of the
! stories agree on all points.

The Indian, Sa-Ka- -She-We
sunk, who early yesterday
morning was acquitted of COM
plicity in the Seidel murder,
later in the day confessed that
he was present at the killing.
He claims that he was pres
ent but took no part therein
but that Joe and Charley did
the killing. This is in direct
contradiction to his story
that he ran away before the
crime was committed.

murder of Alexandra Seidel be-
fore he confessed to having
been present at the scene of the

3 Not guilty.
. This was the verdict brought
in by the jury shortly after
midnight yesterday morning
in the case of Sa-Ke-She-We-
sunk Little Rising Sum, the
Indian charged with the MUIR
der of F. w. Seidel at Somber
postoffice June 21, 1908. The
jury deliberated on the case
nine and one-half hours.
At 10: 80 o'clock Wednesday
night. the jury then having
been out seven and one-half
hours, Judge Goss called them
into court and asked the FORE
man, G.. G. Odney, if there was
any likelihood that they would
reach an agreement. Mr.. Od-
ney replied There is, your
honor, we have made a gain of
two since we began balloting.'
The judge then asked the jur-
ors if there was any matter of
law upon which their mind was
not clear and he was asked to
explain the penalties for the
several degrees of murder and
manslaughter. This was done
and the jurors again retired, in
charge of Bailifts George Clark
and Duncan Beaton.

case was tried follow:

mitted to the jury at 3:OOp. m.
The testimony of the differ
ent witnesses did not differ
materially from that given in
the trial of the Peltier case.

the same story, differing only
in details. as they had told
when they were on trial for the
murder.
The Indians story was the
same as told in the previous
trial and he told it in the same
straightforward manner. Peter
Marcel1ais of Belcourt acted as
