C. p. R. to Connect With 500.

In its issue of the 18th inst, the
Winnipeg Free Press states that the
officials of the Canadian Pacific Railway
were interviewed yesterday with re-
ference to the report that it was the
intention of the company in conjunction
with the 500 line to extend the branch
now terminating at Mowbray, Manitoba,
connecting with the 500 line in this
county, atfording direct connection be-
tween southwestern Manitoba and the
Twin Cities. From Mowbray a short
extension was built last year toCavalier
county. Much construction material
has been delivered there already this
spring, giving rise to the belief that con-
struction is to pe continued until the
500 Line is reached. The inquiries
made at the Winnipeg Offices of the
Canadian Pacific indicate that the Now
bray branch will be extended this year,
If the line is to be built south into North
Dakota, the matter is being considered
by the engineering and construction de-
partment of the 500 line and not by the
Canadian Pacific. No information could
be obtained in Winnipeg with reference
to the construction of line into North
| Dakota.

Barry an Unruly Prisoner.

William Barry, in the penitentiary at
Bismarck from Cavalier county, under a
life sentence for the murder of Andrew
Mellum at Barry's farm near Milton, is
causing the warden great deal of
trouble, as he claims he should be free
and is no longer amenable to prison
discipline For three weeks he has been
on bread and water diet, and in addition
is chained to his cell door because he
refuses to work. Barrys case is of state
wide interest, as he has been thrice tried
and sentenced and twice in the supreme
court. The last act in his case was a
determination by the upper court that
Barry was wrongfully sentenced for life
under the verdict, as the sentence should
have been for ten years intead of for life
under the circumstances, but this find
ing of the court has not been certified
to the warden of the penitentiary, and
Barry stands as lifer. The murder
was committed ten years ago, and Barry
claims that he should be free, but until
the courts decide the matter, he will
either work or continue his diet.

Cavalier Co., N. Oak.
Deceased was sufferer for only a few
days with severe pain in her head,
followed up by convulslons at times,
causing her unexpected death. Age 80
years months and Is days. Dec. 10Th
| 1891 she was married to Mr.. John
Balsdon. This union was blessed with
4 sons and 2 daughters. In the year
1894 she was converted to the faith in
the living God under the labors of Rev.
A. Oertli minister of the Evangelical
Church. Two sons, father and two
sisters preceded her in death. Itcan be
truly said of her, "She will be missed
from one and all of the spheres of the
/ local church activities maintaining as
she did until her death an active and
complimentary interest in the church
work. She was faithfully present at the
preaching and prayer meeting services,
and stood actively identified with each.
In her last moments she was an intense
sufferer which she bore with patient
resignation. She leaves husband mother
2 sons daughters brothers sisters
and many friends to mourn her sudden
departure. Her remains we're inferred
in the Evangelical cemetery there to
await the resurrection morn. She will
be held in loving remembrance by hus-
band, children and many friends.
Funeral services were held at the
Evangelical church conducted by Rev.
B. HI. Fischer, who chose for the text OF
his funeral discourse Ezekiel Xxiv-lS
"and at even my wife died." The special
hymns sung by the choir consisted Of
"Bye and Bye," Waiting and Watching
for me. The church was filled to the
doors with the crowd ofsorrowing friends
of the deceased, many coming from
distance to pay their last token o1
respect. The pail bearers were Messrs
Daniel Livingood, William Livingood
John Livingood, john Mayerle, james

township against the Great Northern
Hallway company was re-oPened Mon
day in the U. S. federal court at Fargo,
when motion for new trial was argued
before Judge Charles F. Amidon The
case was originally tried in the federal
court at Grand Forks in November 1907
and verdict for 81 800 rendered in
favor of the plaintiff. C.J. Murphy, for
the Great Northern, claimed the dis
covery of new evidence. The verdict
was defended by Tracy R. Bangs. The
motion was taken under consideration
by the court. Mrs. Omie's claim for
damages against the railroad company
for $4,000 was based on injuries alleged
to have been sustained by her when
alighting from the ct. Northern's pas

TALLEsT ATHLETE IN WORLD.
Has Football Player Almost
Seven Feet in Height.

To be the tallest athlete in the world
does not necessarily mean to be the
greatest athlete. While in some branch
es of sport such as running, baseball
and tennis, height is of great moment,
yet in football, rowing and other sports
it is more or less of a hindrance, espe-
cially when the Height is over . tx feet
six inches. William Harold Lipscomb
of Manassas, Va, is seven feet lacking
one inch, and is the tallest candidate
for athletic honors in the world today,
but in football at the University Of
Virginia, where he was a candidate for
the team, he was found too light for his
height. He is a remarkably built young
man, of large bone and sinew, and of
great muscles which are as yet I'M
developed, he being under % years Of
age.
Football, while it requires men Of
certain height in the line, does not need
men who by their height would be
working rather at a disadvantage than
advantage. History has shown that,
barring Hare of Pennsylvania, Chad
wick, Mcbride and Coy Of Yale, Hide
brand and Wheeler of Princeton, there
are few men who have gained great
regulations as football players who
have not been considered small men.
Adee and Daily of Harvard, Desaules
and Hinkey of Yale, the invincible Poes
of Princeton, go to the head of the list,
which is large, of pigInies who have
been heroes on the gridiron.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL,
GENERAL LIST FIRM.
Although Neglected and ListIess-Eas
ing of Time Money Rates.

New York, Jan. acknowledgements
over the week end had no effect in
moving speculative interest in the
stock mark ct, although some of them
were Of undoubted importance in their
financial bearings. Foremost among
these was the fact that the Bank of
England was permitted to take I'D the
South African gold laid down in the
London market at a concession in price
and without any competition on behalf
Of Paris. This is the first week for
this to happen since a period well back
into last year, and marks the culmina-
ton Of the long accumulations OF gold
by the Bank of France which has been
going on during that period. The issue
of the Russian loan is now expected to
lead to a great easing Of the Paris
money market. Redundant money
markets throughout the world are
thought likely to follow. Such a con-
dition would be but an aggravation of
a situation already existing in New
York. Speculation tends to stagnate
in conformity with indications of back
wardness in the business developments.
Market movements are confined largely
to individual stocks regarding which
there are special developments. There
was a group Of stocks related to the
fertilizer industry thus affected today
by rumors Of an intended merger of
these companies, although sharp re-
lapses followed in some of them. The
general list, while neglected and list
less. was firm. The redundant state
Of the money market places no pressure
IN holders of securities. There was a
pronounced easing of time money rates
today, lenders coming forward with
large offerings at recently prevailing
bid rates. There is an eager demand
for the scanty supply Of commercial
bills in the market. Bankers continue
to make quick sales Of blocks of bonds
bought from the issuing railroad COM
panies. The ftful price movements OF
the day in the stock market showed no
decision. and the tone at the closing
remained uncertain and sluggish.
There were reactions in some bonds
which have advanced sharply OF late,
and this made the tone of the bond di-
vision irregular Total sales. par val

AT BROADWAY THEATER.
Clara Turnsr Company.

On Monday, matinee and evening,
Clara Turner and company presented
by Ira w. jackson opened a weeks
engagement at Broadway theater,
which promises to be the best Of any
of the repertoire companies seen here
this season. Manager Jackson has sur
rounded Clara Turner with a clever
company, and they present an attrac-
tive list of plays, and a week of pleas
ure can be anticipated at the theater.
Monday evening the bill was A Mod
ern Lady Godiva, and throughout the
four acts the audience followed with
the deepest interest. AS Lady Mary
Fulton, Clara Turner in her usual man
ner won much favor, her Interpretation
of the role being cleverly done, bring
ing Duh much applause. AS Sir Charles,
Mr.. III was excellent, carrying the role
in q manner which pleased, while E.
Burns was likewise good. Miss De-
vile as Lady SHodgrass made an ex-
cellent impression and received a
handsome bouquet at the opening of
the third act. Miss Boileau pleased in
her work. while Miss Walker was pref
ty and interesting as Clara. Mr. HON.
hond filed the role of O'Brien with I'M
derstanding and the remainder of the
company gave good support.
Billy Barry played the role of the
artist, and did it well. He is a Nor
WlcQ boy ana also business manager
for the company. Billy has scored a
hit all along the line in his varying
roles, and particularly does his James
Trelawney, the artist, in A Modern
Lady Godiva, and Joseph in Divorsons
hit the popular fancy as clever and
sincere representations. In the Art
lists Model he plays a young college
chap, Jack Wilson, and as a comedian
he is pleasantly painstaking in the role
of Tommy Twadles, the fat boy, in A
Girls Best Friend. These characters
are widely contrasting, and Billy has
stood the test and portrays them all
fiely. He is especially commended
for his makeup, in which he loses his
individuality so that his nearest friend
would scarcely recognize meath the
grease paint the rotund and smiling
countenance Of jolly Bill He is easy
and natural upon the stage, and since
leaving here has accomplished wonders
in advancing himself in his art. Mr..
Barry was always big favorite here.
His success is only one more to the
credit of many in his profession that
claim Norwich as a birthplace.
This afternoon the company plays A
Modern Lady Godiva, and this evening
the bill is Why Men Tempt Women.
