AND MRS. OTTO NORDEN-
SKJOLD AT BANQUET.
West Hotel Is Scene of Notable Gather-
ing Arranged by Minnesota College
Antarctic Traveler Tells of Life
Amid Ice Floes and Interesting
Toasts Are Responded To.
Dr. ab'cl Mrs. Otto Nordenskjold were
the guests at a banquet at the
West hotel last evening, arranged
in their honor by tbe Minne
sota college. About 150, includ
ing several from out of town, at
tended the function, which was particu
larly pleasing in all its details. The
hall was prettily decorated, blue and
yellow, the Swedish national colors, be
ing prominent in the decorative scheme.
Rev. E. O. Stone presided as toast
master. Mayor David P. Jones in re
sponding to tne toast, Minneapolis as
a Landmark, paid high tribute to the
Scandinavians for their great services
to the world in scientific research and
exploration and recalled with much
pleasure his visit to the Scandinavian
countries some years ago. Other toasts
were: "The Safest Route over the
Ocean of Commerce," C. A. Smith
"Educational Work Among the Swedes
in America," Professor J. S. Carlson
"Two Years in the Ice at the South
Pole, Dr. Otto Nordenskjold "Geolo-
ical Researches at Home and Abroad,
'rofessor N. F. Winchell: "Minnesota
College," Professor P. M. Magnusson
"Gustaf Adolf's College," President
A. Matson "In Sight of Land," John
G. Lund: "Greeting to the Heroes of
the North from the Swedish Church in
America," Dr. C. J. Petri. Several
tenor solos, sung with fine effect by
Adolph H. Engstrom, were interspersed
between the toasts.
Dr. Nordenskjold's Remarks.
Dr. Nordenskjold, after gracefully
acknowledging the courtesy extended
to him and expressing his appreciation
of the cordiality of his reception in
Minneapolis, ventured an American
Hoke successfully when he said that he
could hardly be expected to speak
about two years in a few minutes. How
ever, he gave some description of life
on the Antarctic ice. Having this ban
quet in mind, it seemed to him that
as interesting a topic as he could select
would be "how they lived and what
they ate."
The doctor and his companions hav
ing sent their ship back into warmer
latitudes for the Antarctic winter, ex
pecting it to return to them the next
year, were marooned a vear longer than
they expected, and wero obliged to sup
plement their stock of supplies from
the animal life of that region and he
made the point that this could be done
more successfully in the Antarctic thj^n
in the Arctic. The principal source
of meat supplv was the penguin, that
great bird, which, he says, is more like
a human animal than any other except
ing possibly the monkey.
There was one death in their partv
in their two years' btay in the Ant
arctic, due to causes which in all prob
ability would have produced the same
results if this man had remained at
home. Aside from this there was 'no
sickness at any time in his party, and
while the hardship was severe, the men
came out of it without any unfortunate
consequences.

MUST GET BIDS
Council Committees Cannot Purchase
Supplies in Open Market.
Notice was given to the council
committees on fire department and gas
yesterday that it is irregular to pur
chase supplies in excess of $100 with
out advertising for bids. I has been
customary to give authority to heads
of departments to purchase supplies
the open market when this could be
done to advantage, the authority in
the case of the fire chief being based
on a resolution introduced by Alder
man A. S. Adams in 1903. This resolu
tion, it is held, is now void, as no such
order is effective beyond the life of the
council Avhich makes it.
The fire department buys oats in car
load lots, saving, according to Chief
J. Canterbury, about 3 cents a
bushel. If bids are advertised for it
is believed that the department ex
penses will be increased by upward of
$800 a year.
The gas committee decided that the
gas inspector should comply with the
rule in purchasing gasolene in excess
of $100.
The furnace as a means of ventilation
is said to be more economical in deep
mines than in shallow ones, as it acts
by heating a column of air the higher
that column the greater will be the dif
ference in the weight of air in the
upcast and downcast shafts, and conse
quently the greater the motive power.
Twenty of London's most expert hair
dressers have decided the fashion for
1906, which is thus described: "The
hair is arranged high in three different
sections, with divisions like those in a
bishop's miter. Fascinating little curls
nestle in each division. On the neck
and forehead the hair follows the style
for 1905.^

Secures Permanent Injunction After
Fight Lasting Several YearsMar-
shal Served also as Miller and Vil-
lage Kail Became Storeroom for
Cereal Product.
Special to The Journal,
St. Cloud, Minn., Jan. 23.The village of
Brooten in Stearns county cannot engage any
longei in the flour business. Judge Seaile ot
the distiict couit has made peimauent the in
junction sought by L. L. Nerlein, owner of the
floui mill at that place, and which has been
lought for several years thru the district and
supieme courts.
About thiee yeara ago a dispute arose between
the miller and some of the business men of
Biooten. As a result the village officers allowed
the use of the village hall as a stoiage room
for flour and used the town marshal to run the
floui business. The flour was sold at cost for
cash to everybody who traded In the village, to
the detriment of the miller's business.
The court now says the plaintiff is entitled
to a peimauent injunction, and that the village
of Brooten has no right to use the village hall
aud the services of the marshal In the way
it did.
Dies from Lockjaw.
Bernt H. Moe, a prominent young farmer of
Ronneby, Benton county, died a terrible death
from lockjaw. He was the victim of several
minor accidents Dec. SO that developed into
sjmptoms of tetanus. Specialists were sum
moned, but they could do nothing for him, and
he starved to death while racked with intense
suffering. He was 29 years of age and leaves
a wife and 3 year-old child.
It is announced that the Northern Pacific will
this spring build the new passenger station at
St. Cloud that has been planned for some time.
The appropriation for the Improvement was
authorized a year ago, but, owing to some diffi
culty in securing certain real estate, the build
ing was delayed.
During the past week some fancy prices have
been paid local breeders of blooded shorthorn
cattle. Two 1-year-old bull calves sold for an
even $1,000 each. They were among the prize
winners in the Chicago stock show. Stearns
county has some of the finest bred cattle and
horses in the northwest. Among the prominent
stockraisers are such well-known men as Judge
D. B. Searle, John Cooper and N. P. Clarke,
whose herds have become famous thruout the
country.
WILD OAT AT ST. PETER
Patrick Martin Has Exciting Experi
ence Before "Killing Brute.
ST. PETER MINN.This town Is crowding
Duluth for wild animal honors. Early last even
ing a full-grown wild cat was shot and killed
\sell inside the city limits It was brought
down by Patrick Martin, who lives in the out
skirts of St Peter, and his experience was
somewhat exciting Several times of late he has
missed chickens and other poultry and last
evening wher a great commotion arose in his
barnyard, he ran out to learn the cause of the
trouble.
As he entered the chickenhouse he saw a ltfrge
animal slink away into a remote corner. While
still on the threshhold, the beast sprang at
him out of the darkness, but his quickness en
abled him to slam the door and make a prisoner
of tha tat. Returning to his dwelling he selected
a shell charged with heavy shot and dispatched
the catamount, which was found to measure
seven feet and eight inches from the top of
its head to the tl? of its tail.
The occurrence is most (remarkable, as there
is no record of a lynx having been seen In
fouthern Minnesota for a dozen years or more.
Postmaster H. C. Miller has beer notified
that a competitive examination to select mail
carriers for the free city deliverv to be estab
lished here May 1. will be held at the high
school Feb. 17. Carl H. Miller has been named
ns temporary secretary of the civil service
hoard, and will have charge of the tests'. It is
txpected there will be many applicants.

BURIED ALIVE TEN HOURS
Miner, Caught in Cave-in, Rescued by
Companions.
VIRGINIA. MINN.In a cave-In of quicksand
at the Lincoln mine, which has been timbered
up, Pelka Nichni, a miner, was buiied twenty
feet deen, fron S o'clock in the evening until
6 o'clock in the morning, and then was rescued
alive. A large boulder, weighing several tons,
together with some of the timber"!, fell in such
a way that a small cavity was left about the
upper part of Nichni's chest and head, the
test of his body being held by the dirt as firmly
as by a vice. The rescuing party of ten men
worked like* Trojans, on fifteen-minute shifts,
there being room for only two men to work at
a time. When Nichni was reached, the candles
of the men nearest him were extinguished, the
rlr havi-ig become exhausted to such a degree.
Nichni is now in a hospital, and will recover.
In the middle ages swings were hung
by an ingenious pulley device. The
rope was passed over a grooved wheel
that was fastened to the ceiling by a
bracket. The one who was swinging
was not only pushed from behind by
one of his fellows, but was also helped
from the front by striking with his
foot the outstretched foot of another
comrade. This sport was a favorite
pastime of pages.
Aluminum paper is now manufac
tured in Germany and recommended as
a substitute for tinfoil. It is not the
so-called leaf aluminum, but real paper
coated with ^owdered aluminum, and is
considered to possess very favorable
qualities for preserving articles of food
for which it is used as a covering.
Aluminum paper is much cheaper than
tinfoil and will become a strong com
petitor thereof.
Great efforts are being made in Cape
Colony to introduce co-operative meth
ods in agriculture. A letter has recent
ly been addressed by the government
co-operative expert to the secretaries
of agricultural societies in the colony,
suggesting the co-operative purchase of
seeds, manures, implements and im
proved machinery.
Carrying out experiments in psychic
phenomena, some scientists at Ruvo pro
duced some striking results. A 14-
year-old boy was put in a trance, and in
this condition answered questions put
to him in Greek, Latin, Arabic, French,
English, German, and conversed in
those languages, his voice being that of
a man.
Siberia has the biggest forest area of
any country on earth, yet the timber for
the construction of the eastern end of
the Trans-Siberian railway all came
1 from the United States. It was brought
from Oregon, being shipped across to
Vladivostok, thence transported by rail
to the banks of a tributary of the
Amur and loaded into barges to be
towed to its destinations.

do wrong. You are to take no account of malice
in your acts. You must deal with evidence,"
lie said.
The trial of the long list of Milwaukee poli
ticians indicted by the grand jury on graft
charges will be resumed before Judge Williams

SEARCHING- FOR BIBLE
Closing of an Iowa Estate Depends on
Book's Discovery.
IOWA PALLS, IOWA.A search for an old
family Bible is being made in central Iowa, as
it Is necessary in closing up an estate in West
Virginia. The old book contains names and
dates that are needed to prove up the claims of
heirs, but the whereabouts of the Iowa branch
of the family has been lost and all efforts to
hnd any of its members thus far has proved
unavailing. The name of the fami'y sought is
Godfrey, and wtile the parents may be dead,
it is thought possible some of the children may
be living in the state. The maiden name of the
mother was Rachel Enrick. She was a sister of
Samuel Eurick. who died some time ago. and
the supposition Is the sister cc some of her
descendents have the missing Bible.

PLANNED MURDER
OF WHOLE FAMILY
SOUTH DAKOTAN DIES AFTER
MAKING FULL CONFESSION.
Ole Jacobaon, Driven Frantic Thru Jeal-
ousy, Wanted to Kill Sweetheart and
Family with Whom She Boarded, but
Failing, Turned Weapon on Himself
Woman Prostrated over Tragedy.
Special to The Journal.
Slsseton, S. D., Jan. 23 Ole Jacobson, the
young man who attempted suicide at Windom
by shooting himself twice thru the aboomen,
is dead. An official inquiry into the details of
the affair reveals the fact that Jacobson planned
to kill his sweatheart and the whole Slentz
family with whom she was' boarding. Befoie
dying he made a confession of his full inten
tions.
According to his own statement, Jacobson set
a bam on fire and then concealed himself in a
shed near the path leading from the house,
where he waited for Slentz, revolver In hand,
with the intention of shooting him when the
fire would cause him to make his appearance
After killing Slentz he intended to go into the
house and shoot his sweetheart, Anna Aas,
who had jilted him, then murder the whole
Slentz family.
The fire failed to arouse Slentz from his slum
bers, and the agonizing screams of the burning
horses and cattle in the barn prompted the
would-be muiderer to put an end to his miser
able existence. He fired two shots into Ms
abdomen and then attempted to cut his throat
with a jack knife. A few minutes later Slentz
appeared on the scene, having been aroused by
the shots fired, and, going into the shed, found
Jacobson writhing on the floor and attempting
to beat out his biains with a piece of coal.
The barn burned to the ground with all its
contents, Including 300 bushels of corn, a large
quantity of hay, eleven head of cattle and six
horses.' The loss to Slentz is estimated at
$2,000, with no insurance. The girl is pros
trated over the affair. She says she was en
gaged to Jacobson, but was compelled to give
him up on account of his bad habits. She is
an intelligent and prepossessing young woman.
CHANGES IN FORTY-TWO YEARS
St. Cloud Resident Visits Yankton
First Time Since 1864.
YANKTON. S" D.After an absence of forty
two years, W. O Sterlina of St. Cloud, Minn.,
visited Yankton this week. H's last call was
in 1864, when he came down the liver from
Fort Baford as a fecout in General Sully's com
mand. As he recalled this city, then a little
frontier* town, he found remarkable changes
There are few men living today who can say
with Mr Sterling that they crossed the plairs
in company with Kit Carson. This be did in
1846, and the incidents of that journey of long
i-go, and Iti attendant dangers and stirring in
cidents, are still green in his memory. The trip
was made when the Mexican war broke out. A
second tii: was mac*e in 1858 as far as West
poit landing, known the world over now as
Kansas City. At that time, however, the landing
consisted of only two I02 cabins. Sterling is a
well preserved man and shows no sign of the
rough life of the early days. His visit was
much eujjyed.
The county board of insanity has juBt disposed

Biwabik, on the Mesaba range, to the Mesaba
Range Traction company to build itB line in the

This is the first franchise yet secured from
any range municipality, but applications will be
made to others, and it is believed the company
will meet with no difficulty in securing thes
privileges from towns along the proposed route.
It is estimated that the cost ot the line will
be about $800,000
The money is pledged, is said, and the work
of building wUl proceed just as soon as the

of 100 per cent perfect, and the two having the
highest per cent average, as shown by the aver
age of the marks of the three judges, will

Surgeons themselves consider a per

it only when the patient has become
desperate from long continued pain and
agony. But the operation itself is every

as the disease. Besides, it is humiliat

FACIA IMLYSIS
NERVOUSNESS DEVELOPS INTO
DISTORTION OF FACE.
A Remarkable Cure Effected by Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills.
What appears to be a slight nervous
attack may be the forerunner of a se"*ere
disorder. No nervous sufferer should
ueglect the warning symptoms, but
should see that the starved nerves are
nourished before the injury to the deli
cate organism has gone to au extent that
renders a cure a difficult matter. The
nerves receive their nourishment through
the blood, the same as every other part
of the body, and the best nerve tonic and
food is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The
experience of Mr. Harry Bemis, of
Tmthville, Washington county, N. Y.f
substantiates this.
I had been feeling bad fpr a long
time," said Mr. Bemis, "and in the
early part of September, 1902,1 was com
pelled, to quit work on account of my ill
health. My trouble was at first ex
treme nervousness, then my sight be
came affected and I consulted au oculist
who said I was suffering from paralysis.
He treated me for some time, but I got
no benefit. I tried another doctor and
again failed to obtain any relief. My
nervousness increased. Slight noises
would almost make me wild. My mouth
was drawn so I could scarcely eat and
one eye was affected so I could hardly
see. I had very little use of my limbs,
in fact I was almost a complete wreck.
I am all right now and am at work.
That is because I followed my wife's ad
vice and took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
She had used the same remedy herself
with the most gratifying results and she
persuaded me to try them when* it ap
peared that the doctors were unable to
help me. They acte_d very surely in my
case my face came back into shape and
in time I was entirely well."
The reason why Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills effect such remarkable cures is be
cause they purify and enrich the blood
which nourishes the nerves and gives
strength to every organ of the body.
They have cured obstinate cases of neu
ralgia, nervous prostration, sciatica, in
somnia, as well as of partial paralysis.
