but belong to past administrations.
He explained the $4,000 payment to
young Mr. Hale. which Elihu Root
contracted for, and the affair Of the
Rosenthal portrait was traced to the
administration Of John Hay.
At the same time Secretary Knox
resented what he regarded as an inti-
nation that perjury had been commit
ted by some of the present clerical
force of the state department The
committee has not succeeded in solv-
ing the riddle in connection with pay
ments made to Albert Rosenthal for
the Day portrait and the recovery or
the voucher for that payment.
Secretary Knox gave the committee
the original voucher and the explana-
tory memoranda attached to 1t. Ac-
companying the latter was a receipt
from Rosenthal which the latter has
! no recollection of giving. There was
a letter from Consul General w. II.
Michael, former chief clerk Of the de-
partment, written in answer to Secre-
taFy Roots request. for information. In
which Michael says the balance OF
$1,000 was given in cash to Secretary
John Hay and used by him in connec-
ton with Chinese affairs under Mr..
Rockhill.
| Don't you think" asked Mr.. Ham
lin of Secretary Knox, that this re-
ceipt was prepared since this hearing
began?"
Are you charging anyone with per-
| jury?" remarked Mr.. Knox
I am not, but / think this suspi-
cious," said Mr.. Hamlin.
IF you can ascertain" retorted
Secretary Knox. that since you got
| your letter from Rosenthal that some
one in the department fixed this up
| there will be some vacancies"
Il may do Secretary Root an injus-
| tice," said Davis, but I think he said
| the voucher was in two parts. This is
all one document"
Secretary Knox-'T gave it to you
in the shape in which I received it."
With these papers Is letter
| signed by Rosenthal referring to a
| portrait of Secretary Day. 1t is

aboutIit?" asked Hamlin.

was done But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
"We decided that it could not be
cured and must run it's course and SO
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his

after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-

WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That Tired Preacher Should
Have Such Desire.

A minister speaks Of the curious eff
feet of Grape-Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
you will doubtless understand how
the suffering from Indigestion with
which I used to be troubled made my
work an almost uncomfortable burden;
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight.
I had to be very careful as to what
ate, and even with all my care l ex'
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts
fed me.
Since l began the use Of Grape
Nuts the benefits I have derived from
it are very definite, no longer suffer
from indigestion, and I began to i'm
prove from the time Grape-Nuts aP
peared on our table.
Il find that by eating a dish of this
food after my Sabbath work is DONE
(and I always do SO now) my nerves
are quoted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me.
Il feel that could not possibly DO
without Grape Nuts food, now that
know it's value. 1t is invariably on our
table-we feel that we need it to make
the meal complete and our children
will eat Grape-Nuts when they canno.

MOTOR CARS IN THE ALPS.

Motorists who desire to include the
most picturesque parts Of Switzer-
land in their itinerary have run up
against dead wall Of opposition on
the part of the people Of the canton
which contains the finest Alpine seen
cry, including the valley Of the Enga-
dine, the Maloja lakes, the famous re-
sorts Of Moritz, Pontresina and Davos
and the passes of the Splugen, Malo
ia and Bernina, says the Pittsburg
Chronicle-Telegraph The question of
admitting motor cars to the Grisons
was submitted to the people by resort
to the initiative, and the result was
vote of absolute exclusion. This came
to pass in spite Of the disposition of
the federal authorities to encourage
automobile traffic and the active
work Of the Swiss Automobile club
on the same side. The people, how
ever, were unalterably hostile for the
reason that the Alpine roads are mar
row and that, If motor cars were ad-
mitted, the use OF those highways
would be fraught with great danger.
Obviously, If the opposition so mani
tested Is to be overcome the only
means Of accomplishing this end is
by the widening of the mountain
roads. Here again, however, the will
of the people must be consulted and
the issue Is bound to be mighty un'
certain.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY PROJECT
EnderIin to Fort Ransom Trolley
Road Nav Be Built Soon.


Plans looking to the construction
of an electric railway line between
Enderlin and Fort Ransom, an inland
town in Ransom county, which have
been contemplated for some time,
have advanced to the point where it
is practically assured that the work
will be done. A large amount of
stock has been sold and the promoters
are enthusiastic over their success.

Of the pioneer residents of that town
and well known throughout the north,
is at the head of the movement. He
has been engaged in the task of work.
ing up enough enthusiasm to make the
company possible for two or three
years and declares he has finally been
successful in so doing.
Fort Ransom lies about fifteen miles
from Lisbon and Elliott, the cities from
which freight is now transported. The
roads are not of the best and the cost
of freighting is high. With the estab.
1ishment of an electric railway line
connection this cost would be greatly
reduced.
In the event that the Enderlin to
Fort Ransom line is constructed the
plans call for an extension later, which
would include Sheldon. The local end
of the line would afford connection
with the 500 railroad and an effort
is being made to interest that road in
the proposition.

mlNoT SLAYER IN CUSTODY
Farmer Who Shot N~eishbor Brought
in for Hearing.

Farmer Who Shot Neighbor Brought
in for Hearing.
Sheriff Ed Kelley arrived in Minot
with Gus johnson. the farmer living
twenty miles south of Minot who is
charged with shooting and killing
John Cash, a neighbor. The body Of
John Cash also was brought to the
city.
The story of the shooting is told by
Mrs. Cash, the only witness of the
tragedy. Mrs. Cash says that for sew
eral years Cash and johnson had been
living on the same farm, Cash and his
wife in a house and Johnson in a dug
out. Cash recently bought the place
from Johnson.
There was some lumber on the place
and while Cash was away teaching
school Johnson went to the Cash home
and said that the lumber belonged to
him and that he was going to sell it.
Mrs. Gould refused to let Johnson take
the lumber and Johnson went away.
When Cash returned from his school
Mrs. Cash told him about the lumber
controversy and he started toward the
dugout in which johnson lived.
Johnson says he told Cash to keep
away, but that Cash kept on approach
ing the house and, according to the
story of Mrs. Cash, Johnson shot Cash
with a shotgun at a distance of about
forty feet. Mrs. Cash says her hus-
band did not have a gun. Johnson
maintains that he shot in self-defense.
The shot penetrated the skull and
Death followed four hours after the
shooting.
