-Four. divorce complaints were filed In

queens of First street south and is
guilty of infidelity with various and
divers men every day. The wife, whose
name is Flora, has been served with
notice of the divorce case. but she has
refused to make an answer. She is
probably quite well satisfied with the
First street. MIR. and Mrs. Coutts were
married at Grinnell. To-. in 1885, and
lived together until November, 1890,
when Mrs. Coutts entered the house OF
prostitution at 226 First street south.

recites the following story: Mr.. and
Mrs. Koehler were married in Henne-
pin county in March, 1883, and only
lived together until Sept. %, of the
same year. Then Mrs. Koehler was
obliged to leave her husband on account
of the cruel manner in which he treated
her. Soon after the separation Koehler
sent to Germany for another woman,

child was born to the woman with whom
Koehler is living, and, of course, he is
charged with being its father.

MORE OIL NEEDED.
Other Companies Hit Back at the
Globe Oil COmpanv.

The representatives of the other oil
companies in Minneapolis smile in deep
derison at the excuse offered by the
Globe Oil company for withdrawing
from the agreement with the grocers'
association. The other dealers say that
the Globe is branch of the Standard
Oil company, one of the biggest monop-
olies in the country. They say further
that the Globe company withdrew from
the agreement for the sole purpose of
making war with the other companies.
1t is alleged that the other companies
have been selling too much oil to suit
the local branch of the Stand
ard. The Globe thereupon gave notice
of withdrawal from the agreement for
the purpose of slashing rates, it having
already cut the wholesale rate from
seven cents to six cents. The grocers
were mad as soon as they heard of it,
for matters were moving so smoothly
under the agreement that they did not
wish the existing order of things
and the old plan of cut and slash re-
sorted to. So they notified the Globe
people, it is said. that they would boy
colt the Globe company if prices were

A TERRIBLE DEATH,
Baby Killed by Dose of Concern
trated I've.

Martin Olson, the ten-months-old son
of Oliver Olson, of 2OO7 Twelfth avenue
south, died Thursday afternoon under
peculiarly distressing circumstances.
The little fellow went to sleep, as was
usual in the afternoon, on couple of
chairs which his mother fixed for him
near the kitchen sink. where she was at
work. The mother was called away
few moments later,and as the baby was
apparently sleeping soundly she felt no
hesitancy i'll leaving him alone. While
she was gone, however, he awoke, and,
crawling up to the edge of the sink,
picked up a can of concentrated I've
which had been lett there, took
swallow from it. When Mrs. Olson
returned to the room she found him
in commissions, and although DR.. =. M.
Hall was promptly OH hand and applied
every possible remedy. he died in forty
five minutes in the most excruciating
agony. The mother is plunged in grief
and reproaches herself for what she con-
siders almost criminal carelessneSs OF
her part. although she was only gone
from the room for few moments. She
states that this was the first time she
had left the baby alone since its birth,
as it had always been delicate.

LINCOLN, Neb. 26.-John P. Sutton
has rendered his resignation as secretary
of the Irish National League of Amer
lea 10 President, Cannon. Under the
existing constitution the secretary holds
office by appointment of the president.
and in view of the divergent opinions of
Mr.. Cannon and Mr.. Sutton in regard
to the recent address, the latter consid-
cred it his duty to resign. MIR. Sutton
says in regard to the position taken by
President Cannon.
81 regret very much that any differ
ence of opinion should come between
us. because l have very high opinion
of Mr.. Cannon personally. He admits
having received letter from Treasurer
Lyman, and says he has hastily glanced
over it. The letter was not sent to him
to be hastily glanced over. He should
have read it carefully. He confesses
that he wrote the address hurriedly. No
address over the signature of the presi-
dent of the Irish National League of
America should be written hurriedly.
President Cannon is not infallible, and
in this matter he has certainly made a
mistake"

The plan of NJ. de Rothschild, re-
ported TO the monetary conference In
Brussels, is, in brief, that syndicate
of the nations be formed to make yearly
purchases OF silver to the amount OF
E5, 900 900, and that America continue
her purchases of silver as at present
In the event of the price of silver rising
above 4Sd an ounce the purchases are to
be at once suspended
Prof. Soetbeer's plan is TO establish
one gramme OF fine gold as the inter
national unit of value and to stop the
minting Of coins containing less than
6.8065 grammes of pure gold. The cir
culation of coin OF foreign countries OF
less than the new standard will be pro-
hibited by the countries signing the
agreement, and gold coin OF inferior
value will be Withdrawn within five
years. Private individuals will be al
lowed to coin gold upon the payment OF
an agreed selgniorage. Gold certifi-
Gates may be isoued against
gold held in reserve. Prof. Soet-
beers plan also includes the coinage OF
silver in the proportion of twenty value
units OF that metal to one OF gold, but
private individuals will not be allowed

eral expectation that NJ. de Rothschild's
proposals will be accepted by the COM
mittee and then referred for adoption or
rejection to the conference and the Gov
ernments represented, with modifica-
tions suggested by the schemes OF Nj.
Levi and Prof. Soetbeer. One of the
notifications will undoubtedly be that
all gold coins below the value of twenty
francs be withdrawn from circulation
and replaced by silver notes.
The adhesion of the German dele
gates is now considered certain, as Herr
Decbend, formerly President of the
Reichsbank, approved the main lines OF
Prof. Soetbeer's proposal. The French
representatives will also accept the
plan of Prof. Soetbeer, which was COM
municated by NJ. Tirard. French ex-
Minister of Finance. The American
delegates have strong reasons to be
satisfied with the recognition of the ad-
vocates of monometalism and the Sc
robustness of the dangers arising from
further fall in silver. They are disposed
to support NJ. de Rothschild's s proposals
on the principle that half loaf is bet
ter than no bread.
