Mimi, Wednesday, according to a tel
egram received from the Wadena
chief of police by H. f. Byorum, cash
Ter of the Second National Bank.
Mr.. Wolf, who had been employed
by.the Valley Meat Market for about
five months, lost his hearing complete
ly during the summer and this preyed
upon his mind. He frequently remark
ed that unless his hearing could be re-
stored he might just as well end his
life with rope. He left Minot two
months ago to be treated by special
lists in St. Paul and was evidently not
successful. Just how he killed himself
is not known.
Mr. Wolf was 81 years of age, a
hard worker and strictly sober.N He
was very quiet and mot a great deal
is known of his past life, except that
he had been a great traveller.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago he
was employed by J. H. Tompkins in
his meat market in Minot. So far as

Farm wages are coming down:
Whereas many farm hands received
$4,000 a month and their board last
winter, good many appear willing
to work for their board this winter.
Farmers paid hands as high as $500 a
month, board and washing last sum-
ner, but it's said that plenty of good
men will be available at $50 and $50
next spring. At that the farm hand
will have more clear money at the
end of the season than the fellow who
works for $3.50 month in the city. He
generally breaks just about even.

A suspended sentence frequently
has a more wholesome effect on a
criminal than a straight prison SEN
tence and this is the reason that one
Judge gives for handing out as many
suspended sentences as he does. The
average petty criminal serves time
and goes right back into his life Of
crime. A suspended sentence is a
sort of club held over the head of
the wrong doer, for such sentence is
given during good behavior or during
the pleasure of hte court. Many a
petty criminal has been shown the
way to a better life by suspended
sentence,
