Fifth G Graham, G III Dietz.
The convention then got itself tan
gled up. Some of the delegates, led
by W. l.. ComstOck, kicked over the
traces and attempted to break the
slate.
w. w. Mobiles presented a list of
names which he asked to be elected
for delegates to the Congressional con-
yentiOn.
q Mr.. COmstock arose and moved that
these delegates be elected in open
convention, five from the city and
eleven from the country, to be elected
by commissioner districts. He made
strong appeal that the convention
do not allow itself to be run by one or
dozen men and ratify what they do,
but that the delegates be given a
chance to carry out that which they
were elected by their constituents to
do. He wanted no cut and dried slate
pushed through, and thought that the
party had already done too much of
that kind of business. There had been
complaint of such doings after the re
cent Republican county convention,
when members had openly threatened
upon the street to vote against the
party for that reason, and the Repub-
lican party is becoming disintegrated
for that reason. He did not want the
Democrats to follow in their footsteps
Upon motion the list was read as
follows:
First-E H Sontag, D F Rasdall,
Edward Dean.
Second-J G Wise, Jr, w L Com
stock, P III Jordan, o Little, Jno
Lulsdorf. Jno Mahowald, Henry
Fricke.
Third-Pat Riley.
Fourth-R Fairchild, VIM Jost.
F,ifth-O III Austin, Joseph Kohler,
Robert Malzahm.
1t was voted to take up the nomi-
nations by commissioner districts.
The nominations were all ratified.
The delegates are supposed to most
ly favor Hammond'S nomination,
though W L Comstock is said to be a
candidate.
The convention adjourned. :,

AN UNPLEASANT EXPERIENCE
TRULY.

Judge Severance has severed the
ponds OF matrimony which
have Joined Martha Fuller and
WIN: Fuller together since Oct
Ii, 1917. The action for divorce
was brought by the wife, who tells a
Sdd STORY OF wrongs suffered at the
nanos OF her husband, and if her story
Is True the fellow may consider that he
mas got on lightly in that he has not
received just punishment. The COM
pIaInt alleges that they were married
IN Watonwan county, the woman be-
ing |. years of age and the man 81,
and that no issue has resulted from
thelr union. From the summer after
tnelr marriage the husband adopted a
course OF cruel and inhuman treat
ment which it would seem that only a
william could be guilty of. That sum-
mer he struck and knocked her down
and called her hard names. The fol-
lowing winter he struck her many vi
olent blows. In January, 1891, he
struck her at their home in Belgrade.
In March he chOked her until she was
IN danger of sutfocating to death, and
her health was endangered. In May
hr called her vile names, and in June,
81. he threatened to shoot her. He
also accused her of adultery with
someone unknown to her but called
Uncle jim, this accusation being
false. This same month she left her
husband and brought suit for divorce
In the Nicollet County Court. The
case was dismissed for want of proof.
In April, 1892, while Mrs. Fuller was
working in this city, her husband re-
peatedly followed her up and down
the street, and hung about the place
where she worked, threatening her
with violence and to kill her unless
she should return and live with him.
In March last he threatened to have
her incarcerated in the insane asylum,
through malice, because she refused to
return TO him. He had her brought
before the Probate Court at ST. Peter,
but she was there found to be of sound
mind and was accordingly discharged.
Her husband has always compelled
her to work ont. He made no answer
TO this complaint, though when the
suit was brought in Nicollet county
he made an answer falsely charging
her with adultery at various times
and places. but afterwards withdrew
this answer.
Judge Severance found the facts to
be substantially as alleged, ana grant
ed complete separation, and directed
that the plaintiff may assume her
maiden name of Martha COnwell.

Under the management Of 7. ii
Carney, Mankato cement is rapidly
coming to the front. An order for
cement was today received from
Flandreau, n. D., for use on the new
Government Indian school building
at that place. An order was also re-
ceived today from Grand Forks, n.
D., this being new field for Mankato
cement. Cement is being shipped to
Minneapolis right along, for use in
street work.
Duluth is using this cement now in
street work for the first time with eX-
cellent satisfaction. South Superior
and West Duluth are sending in large
orders. Wherever Mankato cement
is used it makes lasting reputation
for itself, and more orders follow.

Rich Women,s Tdle Hours.

"How do wealthy women spend their
idle hours" was question propounded
to me by young friend few days ago.
''Do you think they really have an idle
timer" said in reply.
"Oh, yes," my questioner replied, 81
am sure they have"
l remembered the query some days
after, and having occasion to call upon
some wealthy women of the exclusive
set, l inquired as to their idle hour in
dulgences. One woman informed me
that she made all her own underwear,
which upon seeing found showed evi-
dence of an accomplished needle; another
lady said she painted; another was inter
ested in school matters and dabbled in
literature, and before l got through
came to the conclusion that wealthy
women were as industrious, considering
the many social calls upon them, as the

why Englishwomen. scholars Succeed.

Why EngIishwomen. Scholars Succeed.
Englishwomen are showing marked
superiority over American women in the
college career. They are taking prizes
and attaining marked intellectual dis
tinction, not because their scholastic
advantages are greater nor because Of
superior intellectual gifts, but because
of better physique, more normal nervous
systems, and consequently greater power
of endurance.
These contrasts emphasize the propo-
sition which l maintain, namely, that
the first, the greatest physical need for
women is a training to rest not rest in
the sense of doing nothing, not repose
in the sense of inanity or inactivity, but
a restful activity of mind and body,
which means vigorous, wholesome
nervous system that will enable worn
an to abandon herself to her study, her
work and her play with a freedom and
ease which are too fast becoming, not a
lost art, but lost nature. We have
jumped at the conclusion that the style
of training which is admirably suited
to men must be equally adapted to
women. However that may be in the
future, there is prior necessity with
women. After their greatest physical
need is supplied they may-will, prob
ably-reach the place where their power
will be increased through vigorous exer-
else.
1t is evident that the gymnasiums and
various exercises established in schools
and colleges for women have done little
or nothing toward supplying this great
est need. The girls are always defeat
ing the end of the exercise, first, by en-
tering into every motion of the exercise
itself with too much nervous strain;
second, by following in their manner of
study, in their general attitude of mind
and habit of body, ways that must eff
fectually tell against the physical power
which might be developed by the exer-
else. = Annie P. Call in Atlantic
Monthly.

A Remarkable "Woman's Bank" Recalled
of the most curious cases of swindling
ever known in Boston, is recalled by the
death of Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, the pro-
jector and manager of the scheme. 1t
will be remembered that the plan of
Mrs. Howe's "bank" was to receive de-
posits from women only-not less than
5000 nor over 81 ,000-on which interest
at pea cent. monthly was to be paid.
Indeed, interest for the first two months
was returned in advance to the "cus-
toner" on making deposit. 1t was
represented to be work of charity, the
impossible rate of interest being ac-
counted for by reference to amysterious
"Quaker fund.-" administered by Mrs.
Howe for the benefit of needy women.
Strange as it may appear, it was not
only the ignorant who were deceived by
this transparent nonsense, but persons
of education and experience the coun-
try over. Among the believers and de-
tenders of Mrs. Howe was Miss Dodge.
the Gail Hamilton of literature; and
there were others of equal shrewdness
who swallowed the tale of Charity
Mrs. Howe might have gone on to this
day taking in the money of the credu-
lous to pay out as interest to others
equally credulous had not the news
papers pushed an investigation and made
good story about it,
Then the collapse came, and Mrs
Howe was sent to prison. She died, it is
said, in want.-Boston Commonwealth.

Smoke stains can be removed from a

the spot with water in which a handful
of soda has been dissolved, and from
paper, by rubbing with stale bread. In
either case, all dust and loose articles
should first be wiped off with soft
cloth. Judgment must be used in re-
gard to the bread. 1t must be entirely
free from any feeling of moisture, but
not hard enough to scratch or glaze the

La Grippei

The tendency OF this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics Of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

University Education for Englishwom en-.
Women students ambitious of finish
ing at Oxford will be surprised to know
that Somerville hall, the Oxford annex,
is not college at all, but simply halls
or homes where girls desirous of Oxford
privileges live in the protection of an
academical house. The association for
promoting the education of women at
Oxford engages lecturers to give special
instruction to the students and obtains
admission for them to the university
lectures. These lectures are not given
at the hall according to the custom at
Barnard college, New York, and Newn-
ham and Girton, of Cambridge, Eng
land, but the girls go to the university
accompanied by member of the associ-
alton and listen to the same lectures as
their brothers.
So accustomed have the men become to
these'fair invaders that they scarcely
look up when they enter the room. Six
hours work day including the lectures
is recommended by one of the princi-
pals as sufficient, as every hour after
that counts for loss and not for gain, in
her opinion. The girl that is not clever
enough to get on with that is not apt to
distinguish herself if she works nine
hours day.
''It is one of the great misfortunes of
the age that hardly any one is able to
see that no amount of rubbing will make
tin into silver" writes an authority.
She also advises girls not to come to the
university too young, because woman's
brain is stronger than girls, and "the
woman knows when and where to rest
as well as when and where to expend
