ANOTHER SEATTLE SENsATION.-
Mrs. Morris Harlan, wife OF Morris c.
Harlan, q poultry dealer at Seattle
died suddenly about 2 o'clock Sunday
morning. The discovery of her death
was made when her husband tried To
get her to straighten out in bed, but
receiving no response found that life
had been extinct for some time. The
coroner's verdict attributes the death
to heart disease, but as Mrs. Harlan
was in the habit of using chloroforn
for headache it is thought that she
might have taken an overdose of that
powerful an@sthetic.

The Funds Running Low-Econo-
MIXING on Fish at Como.
The park board held a protracted
session last evening, but disposed of
very little business. The secretary re-
ported that after paying for permanent
improvements ordered and settling up
the outstanding bills and pay rolls for
the month of August there would be
only $4,000 left in the fund.
Commissioner Aberle suggested that
by annulling the proceedings in the
matter of Cleveland park condemnation
the $4,000 set apart for the purchase of
that park would be available for spend
ing purposes. 1t was suggested that
the council could authorize the sale of
$4,000 worth of bonds, but President
Wheelock intimated this would never
do under the present administration.
The clerk, in answer to questions,
said the board had expended since the
last annual about $4,000, and with
the bills and Improvements ordered this
would be increased an additional S15,-
600, making total of $4,000. Of Tits
amount $4,000 had been spent in per-
manent improvements at Como paIk.
An offer to stock Como park with fish
for $500 was considered too large and
referred to Commissioner Bredenhagen.

Daniel Collins, who has been en-
ploved as station agent for the Great
Western railway at Kenyon, Mimi, was
arrested at an office in the New York
Life building yesterday afternoon by an
officer from Red Wing on charge of
forgery. Collins, who is twenty-three
years old, had beeu trusted employe

charge of the station at Kenyon. Re-
Gently one of the travelling auditors for
the road made the discovery that Col
Inns was short in his accounts about
$1,000. When told that his peculations
had been discovered Collins promised to
make good the shortage, and as he was
under bonds with surety company as
security ne was given, an opportunity.
His father, who resides in Austin.

POLICEMAN A'NELLIs' DEATH
The Result Due TO Natural Causes
and Skahill Released.


The funeral of George j. McNellis
occurred yesterday morning, the body
being taken to lnYer Grove for inter
ment. Owing to the wishes of the fam
lily the services were not attended by
the police force, of which the deceased
was member, but a handsome floral
design from the members of the force
rested on the bier.
AS mentioned in the GLOBE yester-
day, Deputy Coroner Xanten learned
McNellis had an alteration with Eu-
gene Skahill a short time before his
death, and the supposition was that his
death was superinduced by a blow
struck by Skahill. Chief Garvin Or
dered the arrest of Skahill, and he
spent Tuesday night in the Ducas
street station. 1t was stated by the
coroner Tuesday night that post NOR
tenn on the body of McNellis
would be held yesterday, but early
yesterday morning DR.. BealS, who at
tended McNellis, made out death Ger
nficate, which stated the cause of death
was heart disease, and this did away
with the necessity of all autopsy. Ska
hill was released from custody yester-
day morning, the relatives of McNellis
and the police officials being satisfied
that the dispute between Skahill and
McNelliS was simply one of words and
that no blows were struck.

NOW FOR COLLEGE.
A Joyous Farewell Given to
Johnny Rodger Last Night.

Johnny Rodger Last Night.
"Each heart recalled another name,
but all sang Annie Laurie" and almost
every other gem of Scottish music, to
bid JOHNNIE Rodger farewell from his
home, and all his friends joined in
hearty wishes of success in bis new
field of study and labor at Harvard col
lege, for which he departs on Thurs
day. The friends that gathered were
those of his youth, and also those of his
father, who have watched with interest
the brilliant career of the son whilst
taking his local tasks. and now that he
has outstripped the measures of the
home preparation for college, and is
about to enter wider field, they
gathered to give godspeed, and
right royalty it was done too.
He is the idol of his mothers heart
and the pride of his father, and every
friend that gathered to bid him good-by
last night took almost the same pride as
did the parents to wish him career of
success that can only be equaled by the
joy of his return home. crowned with all
the laurels a college lite can give. A
prouder mother than Mrs. William
Rodger was last night IS seldom seen,
and no eye ever sparkled brighter with
love for her son.
None but the intimate and gentlemen
friends or Johnnie participated in the
festivities last evening, and Ii is hoped
that the mirth of music and happy flow
of soul will be beacon light to cheer
him on in the arduous duties he is
about to undertake by entering college
life. There were Quartettes and duets.
solos and dances, highland filings and
sailor hOrnpipes; wit, music and enter-
tainment to please every taste, and
Mr.. and Mrs. William Rodger, aided by
Johnnie, can be given the titles of king,
queen and prince of entertainers.
The quartette, Myron brothers, Nc
Gallery brothers and Chisholm, sang
everything from "JesSie'S Dream" to
willie Brewed Peck o. Barley"
And any one familiar with Scottish
music can imagine what the inter
mediate songs were. Violinist Smith

Took His Vacation at Home.

duties yesterday after two weeks va
cation. In answer 10 question by the
reporter as to having been at the fair,
he said: mo; have been fishing. l

to give the name of the lake or resort
where he had been rusticating. One of
the deputies who knows Rube's pc
culiarities took the reporter aside and
whispered that it was mistake to be-
lieve that the big deputy had been far
away from home. The further informa-
ton was given that Clewett had been
seen on numerous occasions during his
vacation reclining in Il hammock in his
own back yard at White Bear, ana if
he did any fishing at all it was along the
shores of the lake in his own door ward.

is to call a meeting in each ward of the

repeal the clause i'll the Bell charter
which prohibits the city government
from expanding any more that Sl5O,OUO

thing" fellows and swindted out of SIS
in a dice-shaking game. Pochert was
not as green as he looked, and instead
of hurrying to police headquarters and
| giving the detectives a description of
| the swindler, followed the man who Sc
cured his coin. In the next block Pa
trolman Goven was encountered, and
| Pochert and the Swindler, who gave his
name as Edwarp Golden, were taken to
the central station. Golden had his
case continued in the police court to
this morning, and unless Pochert is
