IN FLAGRANTE DELICTU.
Boynton ID. Curtiss Stirs Up a
Large-SiZed Mess.

Last night witnessed new and very sensa-
uonal chapter in the divorce suit Of Theresa
Curtiss against Boynton Curtss. which has
been pending in the distric court for several
weeks past. Shortly after 10 o'clock Officer
kerr,o OF the East side station was approached
by Curtiss, who was so excited that he could
hardly speak intelligibly, but finally made
the officer understand that his wife was at the
Exposition with another man. and that he
mistrusted her intentions and wanted her
watched. The officer panied him, and
when the couple left the Exposition he took
the same car that they did, while. the husband
followed on the next. The couple went
to Curtiss' residence, No. 1899 Cir
ard avenue. and entered, while the
officer took up his position outside. When
Curtiss arrived he and the officer peered
through the parlor windows and saw sufi-
Gent TO justify the husbands strongest sus-
picions. AT this Curtiss became so enraged
that he could not wait TO enter through
the door. but put his fist through
the plate glass window, and. jump
ing in. struck Mrs. Curtiss companion.
The officer then interfered, and took the
guilty pair to the lookup. Curtiss aud his
wife's sister accompanying Mrs. Curtiss
and her companion, whose name cannot be
learned, but who is a prominent st. Paul
man, were confined on the charge of fornica-
ton. Curtiss made every possible effort to
arrange bail for his wife, but up to late
hour had not succeeded in dining SO

WASHINGTON ROCK, N. J.

Here on this giant rock backed by this wood,
He viewed the hostile red coats of the foe
Led on by CORVALLIS on the plains below,
Noting their movements, while concealed he
stood.
What vast prospect was before his eyes,
Where now fair plains and pleasant towns
abound
Yonder's the gray of Staten Island sound,
And here the Raritan low winding lies.
New Brunswick's but dozen jumps, you'd
think,
Ger there the towers of Brooklyn bridge
so tall:
Yonder stands Liberty enlightening all,
And there's the gusty ridge Of Nayesink.
How varied are the scenes which spread
below,
Where " yaashington once stoodand watched
the foe.

NEEDS A PRESS CLUB.
minneapolis Wants Something
That VIII Help Her PrOsperitv.

Minneapolis must have press club. The
fiat has gone forth and efforts are under way
to carry out the order. There is no reason
why Minneapolis should not have q press
club that is press club. There is no city in
the country of the same size as Minneapolis
that is without this necessary adjunct to
modern civilization. For several wears now
the city that prides itself on being the me-
topois of the Northwest has been away be
hind the procession in this regard. The time
has come when there is q good chance to
remedy the defect.
This matter of organizing q press club is
one that should interest the whole city,
There are many advantages that would ac-
erue to the city from the existence of a thor
oughly live press club. AS cily's neWspa-
pers are, so is the city. A city that is in the
forefront of progress must have good news
papers. None other will be tolerated And
on the other hand, good newspapers can do a
good deal of good 10 city. 1t is an unques-
toned fact that the making of good newspa-
pers is materially assisted by substantial
press club. On that account The public should
be interested i'll the organization OF a press
club in Minneapolis.
There are still other reasons why the public
should be interested. Four years ago the
second season that the Exposition was open
there was press club in Minneapolis The
Exposition management invited the editors
from all over the state TO visit it. They came
and the press club took an active part in en-
Pertaining them. They were accorded such
d reception that they have never forgotten it.
and the good words that were spoken of the
Exposition then have been bearing fruit ever
since. When st. Paul entertained the National
Editorial association recently the press CLUB
took hold with will and rendered invalu-
able assistance TO the regular committees in
making the editors believe that st. Paul was
the most hospitable city on earth. Had Mill
neapolis a press club then there is little
doubt that the editors would have seen more
of the Flour City. Only few days ago, at d
meeting of the business men to prepare for
The harvest festival, William Henry Eustis
suggested that the newspaper men of the city
should be able to make some valuable addi-
hon to The features of the proposed demon
strauon. They could do so, and probably
would do SO, if they had an efficient press
club through which TO WORK. These are but
few Instances of how press club has been
and can be made Il valuable assistant of other
public bodies in doing work for the benefit
of the community
The Minneapolis Press club must be put
upon its feet financially first OF all. Ar
rangements are now being made for an en-
tertainment for the benefit of the club that
will put 1t there, if patronized. This enter
tainmeDt will be superior TO anything of the
kind ever seen in the city, and will be worth
seeing on its merits. aside from the worthy
object TO which the proceeds will be applied

Mahoney Declared Innocent.

A dispatch from Brinkley, Ark, announces
that W. E. Mahoney has been found not
guilty of the charge of criminal assault
preferred against him by Mrs. william
Mcdonald, of that city. Young Mahoney
came TO Minneapolis about two weeks ago TO
be married TO Miss Agnes HOY daughter of
William Hoy, OF the east side, and that while
in this city he learned of the sensational
charges made by Mrs. Mcdonald and at once
returned to refute them 1t now appears
that Mrs. Mcdonald was actuated purely by
spite in the course which she took, and that
Mahonev found no difficulty in establishing
his innocence. The dispatch also states that
he has started again for Minneapolis.

ABOUT F0RA10RTH


1t is now well demonsj rated that Fort
Worth can get all the artesian water she
wants. All that is necessary is to put the
holes in the ground. My Wilson who has
for some time been engaged in drilling a
well for the Natatorium company, yester-
day struck line flow of water at q depth
OF about $50 feet. The drill had hardly en-
tered the vein of water, until the flow
was 1T the rate of at least $50
600 gallons per day. The drill Will
be sent down fourty 10 fifty feet
lower, when Mr.. Wilson says he believes
the flow will be $4,000 to 100000 gallons
per day. This same vein of water is the one
strulk at the brewery and the packery and
the one found by the city on fuckers Hill,
which was cased out. Mr.. Wilson says the
water found Will flow out of a pipe eighty
five to one hundred feet above the levci of
the ground, which is higher than the huge
swimming pool at the natatorium. If this
well will flow 1000 gallons per
day. the city can by sinking
fifteen wells supply Fort Worth with $780,
0GO gallons of the purest and best water in
the world every twenty-four hours, at COM
paratively small cost. There is no longer
any problem about the supply of artesian
water for Fort Worth
