six months, when the room, which is
scantily furnished, was searched, several
silk dresses and 1876 in cash were found.

City Engineer Cappelen. accompanied
by two aldermen, went to st. Cloud last
week for the purpose OF inspecting the
granite quarries which have been supply
ing the city for several years past with
the material for street paving. The trip
was made with view of ascertaining the
quantity in the st. Cloud region and the
facilities for handling it. The party
VISITED seven quarries, and expressed
themselves as perfectly satisfied with the
information elected. The city engineer
is of the opinion that there is sufficient
granite in that region to last forever.
The party was royalty treated by the
citizens of st. Cloud, who rendered them
an informal reception and gave them q
ride about the city.
The sociable given last Thursday even
ing at the Brownson Club rooms by the
Ladies' Aid Society of Immaculate Con-.
ception parish was grand success. A
fine musical and literary program was
rendered and much enjoyed and refresh
ments were served in the reading room
of the club. The ladies were handsomely
attired in honor of ''The Father of His
Country" and everything passed off
pleasantly. The ladies in charge were
the following and they looked exceed
ingly handsome in their Martha Wash
ington costumes: Mrs. FL. Koran, Mrs.
G. A. Matthews, Mrs. Tobin, Mrs. Nc
Dougall. Mrs. Hennessy, Mrs. Breslauer,
Mrs. Cain, Mrs. Dunno, Mrs. Wirth, Miss
Leonard, Miss X. Koran, Miss Orocker
and Miss Comfort.
The recent publication in the Chicago
dispatches to the effect that some man
whose name was not given had called
upon the prosecuting attorney in the
Coughlin case and told him that he knew
the man who drove the white horse on
the night of Cronin' s murder, and that
the man was now resident of Minneap
oils, recalls the fact that at the time of
tho first arrests in connection with the
murder the dispatches from Chicago i'm
plicated man named King as the driver
OF the white horse. Detective "Norm''
King was at once sought for by local re-
porters. He showed that it was impossi-
BILE for him to have been in Chicago at
the time of the murder, and of course
was at once relieved from any suspicion
in connection with the case. A plausi-
bic theory now is that the man who
called upon the prosecuting attorney has
heard of the King episode, and not know
ing of Kings removal from Minneapolis,
sought to tell story in which he would
m Ike it appear that the Minneapolis de-
tective was really the man who drove the
famous white horse. King was last
heard of in Chicego.

man nature, its power over minds of men.
