he married her two years before. had
become addicted TO the use Of the, SNUFF
and that in the preceding twelve
months her nerves had become shat
tered from its use and she spent al
most all of her time sitting in the
kitchen at home smiling it. For some
time. he said, he had furnished money
with which TO buy the stuff but. OBJ
serving its effect on her, he had re-
fused. After that. he said. his wife
would stop at nothing. even theft, to
obtain money to secure it.

BANK LOSES USURY SUIT.

Fergus Falls Journal: Probably
the most interesting case tried during
the recent term Of district court was
an action brought by A. J. Rooster
against the First National Bank OF
GAINESVILLE. Mr.. Rooster is a farmer
and has been borrowing money from
the bank from time to time. He had
given notes and these notes were for
live per cent more than the amount he
borrowed, and also called for 10 per
cent interest per annuln. For instance,
1t he borrowed Sl0O the bank called
for note tor sos and the note drew
10 per cent. The law forbids the
charging Of more than 10 per cent
interest. Under the state law, anyone
charging more is liable for the
forfeiture Of both principal and
interest, but under the national bank
ing law, under which the bank
operates, the forfeiture tor usu1y is
double the interest, the principal
being unaffected.
Mr.. Rooster claimed that the charg-
ing of an additional per cent was
usury and brought suit to recover
double the amount of the interest he
had paid. The jury agreed with him
and returned verdict giving him
81, PAL. IS. It IS said that the case will
be appealed to the supreme court.
The decision is of considerable
interest, as great many banks make
practice of charging a bonus IN adj
dltion to the full amount called for by
law.

LAST RAIL LAID ON 500
Trains Can Now be Run to
Duluth Over the New
Line

The last rail on the new 500 line
connecting BrCoten with Duluth has
been laid according to dispatch from
Superior.
The 500 road now has a new line
from Superior to the wheat belt. The
last rail- connecting this city with
Brooten, Mimi, was laid yesterday
afternoon and it is understood that the
ballasting is in such condition that
with everything ready at the
terminals the 500 can be running
trains here in short notice. 1t Is
probable that freights will be running
early in September.
The passenger situation is somewhat
indefinite on account of tue trouble
encountered IN obtaining route to
the proposed passenger station IN
Duluth This route crosses the North
ern Pacific tracks and that road
opposes the franchise. 1t IS limited
that the fine new passenger station in
the heart of Duluth will not be built
in case the franchise is refused, but
that the 500 will build a small station
near the bay front, as it intended
before the Wisconsin Central property
there was acquired.
On the Superior side of the bay,
however, there is nothing to interfere
with either passenger or freight
service. The roundhouse and machine
shops are under way and connections
with the Central tracks are already
made so that the 500 can use the
formers passenger and freight depots
and If need be the small roundhouse
which the Central built here.
1t is reported, also, that the new
Guyana road, which is said to have
very close connections with the 500, il
indeed 1t is not really a subsidiary,
will be in shape to run trains here
before winter If it is desired to do so.

AGfD0MAN HANGS SILT
Grief Over Death Of Niece
Cause Of Rash Act Of
Peter konchal

1.-The following taken from a st. Paul
paper is thought to refer to cousin
of A. L. Konchal of this city. Both
a brother and cousin of Mr.. Konchal,
bearing the name of Peter Konchal,
reside IN St. Paul, but the age and
address of the man causes him to
think it was the cousin who took the
rash steps:
Peter Konchal, laborer, Is, 1856
Warsaw st., hung himself with a
clothes line ION the back porch of his
home early Tuesday morning.
His wife found his swaying body
and called DR.. E. w. McCord, who cut
Konchal down and found that he was
dead from strangulation.
Coroner A. w. Miller viewed the
body ana renderd verdict OF suicide.
Mrs. Josephine Darragh, niece of
Konchal, died at the city hospital
three weeks ago after shooting herself
during tit of dependency. ..
Constant brooding ever since Mrs.
Darraghs death IS thought to have
affected Konchal's mind and led him
to end his own life.

A GAS SAVER.

Everybody knows salt water bo,ls
at a lower pressure than fresh. Put
salt into the water when you cook
buildings or brown bread IN covered
molds: This saves quite an amount OF
gas. For food values and digestant
qualities nothing can surpass golden
grain belt beer. 1t gives vlgor to the
system and is all excellent tonic fol-
the nerves. See that you are supplied
with case and that a glass is served
with each meal. Order ct your nearest
dealer or be supplied by E. S. Tanner,

SCOURGE AMONG CHILDREN

Winona, MIMI, Aug. 10.-Tnlrty OF
more cases of infantile paralysis or
anterior polio myelitis have led the
state and city health departments to
believe Winona is experiencing an
alarming epidemic. The disease has
spread among children under 10 years
of age and where 1t fails to be fatal
it leaves its victims helpless cripples
with paralyzed limbs.
The sta:s authorities were called in
and 1t was decided the malady was
not contagious, but the germs were
carried III the dust OF the streets into
the susceptible organs Of the little
children.
An emergenc meeting of the city
council was hold and 1t was decided
to sprinkle the streets, alleys and side
walks throughout the entire city in
the hope OF checking the dreadful
aff1iction. All of the local cases are
confined to Quilting districts which are
not sprinkled.
