Underwood Female College was founded
in 1898. when Major C. Sibley erected q

The st. Charles College was founded by
Mrs. Catherine Collier, a widow. who. in
1880, with her two sons. moved from her
home in New Jersey TO take up q residence
in st. Charles. She was a Jealous Metho-

a pay school. So successful was she In
this that, with the approval and assistance
of her sons. she built the ST. Charles Collegs
at a cost of $4,000. In 1885 a charter was
secured. the first granted in the State. Dur
ing his lifetime George Collier gave $4,000
to this institution and left an endowment
fund of $1,000 when he died.

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
Vienna. Austria. Sept. 1.-The suicide of a
professional woman Spectator. who jumped
to her death from the fourth-stOry window
of her hotel. has just startled the Niennese
speculative world.
1t is the development Of a train Of circum-
stances, SO strange and dramatic that they
put to blush fiction with all its inventive
genius, into the violent seif-destruction of a
woman.
HORN OF NOBLE PARENTAGE.
Jennie Lackenbach. whose mangled re-
mains were picked up from the sidewalk
in front of her hotel in the old residence
quarter of Vienna, came of noble blood.
She was an unusually beautiful and bril-
liant woman. and for a time her parents
entertained high hopes for a suitable alli-
aDce with q Viennese nobleman.
Somehow, the match was broken of sud-
denly. not long before the day Set for the
wedding. and Miss Lackenbach disappeared
from Gross KaniZka, the town OF her birth.
For n long time nothing was heard of her.
Her family gave no Information concern
ing her whereabouts, and the young girl
was forgotten.
One dav the financial world Of Vienna was
startled by the mad speculations of a wom-
an. Female emancipation had not then
been carried to its present limit, and the
newspapers gave much space to the queer
phenomenon which had so suddenly APP
peared In the speculative armament of
Vienna.
Rig DEALS IN STOCKS.
The woman who dared to brave the ups
and downs of the Vienna Bourse was none
other than Jennie Lackenhach.
BY sex barred from personal participation
in the sessions of the stock exchange. she
was compelled to place her deals with
brokers. and a large number of them trans
acted her business with varying success.
Miss Lackenbach made and lost fortunes
with the sang-froid of n natural gambler.
Her passion for speculation was Unsuitable,
and for years there was not a day that she
was not seen fitting from one brokers Of
flee 10 another, to keep abreast of the
market.

OF 1S1G-1e; but 1t contained a clause pro-
limiting slavery, and, though it passed the

the admission of Missouri as a State was
not accomplished until several years after
the petition had been made.
The General Assembly. by an act passed
at Its first session, held in ST. Louis in
1896. constituted st. Charles the capital city

1t was not long before her identify was

following morning.
THE FATAL JUMP.
Long before her usual rising time Miss
Lackenback was awakened by the chamber
maid, who informed her that two gentle
men wished to see her. Apprehensive Of
trouble. Miss L~ackenbach begged that sho

gentlemen.
The chamberma!d remained to assist her
with her toilet. When that was completed
the girl went to the door to admit the early
callers.

officer armed with the warrant for the pur.

Quick as a flash and without altering q
single word. Miss L~ackenback swung her
self on the windowsill and. with a forward
bound, disappeared from sight.

her, devined her intention and caught her
by a loose sleeve.

bundles Of records of stock transactions
and a purse which contained the sum OF

raise the funds by fraud.

Settlement of the Village
and the Name of EST Charles"

Blanchette padded down the river and did
not return until 1863, this time in company
with a fotilla of French Canadians. He
was vested with the power of Governor of
the Territory of st. Ch~arles-the original
St. Charles County, a boundless waste of
woods and prairie that stretched west from
the Mississippi to the Pacific and away to
the north as far as the Great Lakes.
Hereupon LES Petites Cotes' was estab
lished the seat of government. and here
1t was retained until 17ss. when, as 1t Is
written down on the rough charts OF the
Western frontiers, 1t was called lie VII
lage des Cotes."
About this period marks the advent Of
the Virginia and Kentucky ,rangemen into
this neighborhood.
When Louisiana Territory was coded to
Spain the name OF st. Charles-in honor of
the Spanish monarch. Don Carlos. was be-
slowed upon Blanchctte's settlement Of Les
Petites Cotes.' Then Blanchette was made
post commandment. After his death. in 1893,
Charles Tayon was appointed to the Office.
The descendants of this man still reside in
st. Charles and the house he built and &C.
~cupied-between the river and Main street
is still standing. 1t is a small structure.
enough Tor those days. put IL SoHipdct-
ness and well-preserved appearance show
that it was well built and no doubt sup
piled a very comfortable homestead for the
Tayons of a century ago.
In 1902 Tayon was succeeded by James
Mackay. who was commandant until the
end of the Spanish rule and officially rep
resented the French Government when the
Territory came into the possession of the
United States.
The growth of the town of st. Charles
was slow. In ISL there were six or seven
families. and tho number but doubled In
the next ten years.
In 1903 the Fourth of July was observed
in the house of Timothy Kibbey, who pre-
sided. with Francis Saucer as vice presi-
dent. This was probably the first eelebra-
ton In the Territory.
In 1903 the village was organized under the
Territorial law.
In 1872 there were In st. Charles about
100 houses on q street one mile long on the
river bank.

history of Missouri Is being locked into In
connection with the events of the Louisiana
Purchase.
The first legislative hall of Missouri was
the second stery of q building on Main
street, St. Charles. The stroller along the
cid th~oroushfare, now the principal business
street of the city of st. Charles. may
chance upon an cid resident who will point
this out to him.. The younger generation are
not well informed as to its whereabouts
for it has not been preserved as a relic. The
lower portion of the building has been cut
up by partitions. and now serves for shops
of various sorts. white the upper floor is
divided into liviug-rooms.
This hall of legislation was provided for
the occasion free Of rent. The legislators
reached the town on horseback and boarded
at the little hotel nearby. or in private
families. They were dressed in suits of
homemade cloth or buckskin leggins and
hunting shirts. Their footwear was of their
own worl;n,anship-rough shoes or buck
skin mocassins. They generally wore caps
made of the skins Of raccoons or wildcats.
Governor Alexander NcNair alone wore
n fine cloth coat and a beaver hat; and 1t
was he who announced the admission of
Missouri as a State. and read President
Monroc's proclamation.
The Genera! Assembly closed its last ses-
sion in st. Charles on January q, 1925. In
that year the capital was moved to Jeffer-
Son City.

TRAGIC END OF A WOMAN SPECTATOR.
Jennie IakenladLF Famous as a Berlin Stock Gambler Was Detected in an Attempts to SwmdIc a
Pawrtrokr ad. spmg Frma ThrdSty Window to Escape Arrest

AS a little private snap. to which she
could give her own attention, she ran a
pawnbroker shop. This, however. she gave
up In later years.
But She continued In stock dabbling and
only last spring cleaned up n winning on
American railroad stocks of &C. OoO crowns.
AT that she never lived In affiuence. but
confined herself to a modest existence in a
small private hotel. where. with all her
eccentricities. she was quite a pet with
chambermaids and porters. for whom she
made little deals occasionally on the
Bourse.
A PAWNSHOP EPISODE.
It was an evil day for Miss Lackenbach-
that on which she determined to pawn a
handsome pair of diamond sleeve buttons.
One morning an elderly woman, neatly
attired. appeared in Weiss's pawnbroker
shop. in Maehringen Strasse. She carried
in her hand a small Jewel case, and ex-
posed to the view of the appraiser a beau
tiful pair of diamond sleeve buttons.
She explained that she was in temporary
straits and wanted to raise a loan Of 500
fiorins on the buttons. which were worth
twice as much.
The appraiser declared his willingness to
loan her a trifie less than the sum she
required. and she accepted his terms.
Before handing over the Jewels she re-
placed them in the jewel case and asked
that she be permitted to wrap them IN n
piece of paper and seal them with her own
seal. in order that no exchange could be
made.
FRAUD THAT FAILED.
The appraiser gave her permission to do
so. but at the same time Transmitted a
private signal to other attendants about
the place TO keep a watchful eye on the
visitor.
These saw her extracting the buttons
quite deftly from the case. slipping them
into her pocket and then proceeding with
the sealing of the box.
AS soon as she handed the sealed pack
age to the appraiser for safe keeping a Sc
cret-service man stepped up and informed
her that he would swear out r. warrant for
her arrest.
Before he could seize her the 63-year-old

Francis DuqIctte was the owner early In
the century of the property on which stood
the round tower and a very practical
use that he made of this was to erect a
windmill upon it,. 1t IL told how once. be-
fore the windmill was erected. q bad Indian
was imprisoned there. and made his escape

are, perhaps, the ones of particular inter
est. as within these buildings passed the
daily lives Of the men who had most 10 do
with the early history of Missouri. and
where the most important events, as relat-
ed to the State. transpired. In the old
building that was the hall of legislation.
there is stili to be plainly traced the arch
way under which the dignitaries of Mis-
souri, rode when they attended the Legisla-
ture. and under which the Governors car
riage passed. This archway has been closed

days there WIS a garden before the door
way. Now the paving stones that were
laid when Main street became the thriving
business thoroughfare of the city of st.
Charles are warped and cracked. The porch
has been taken away leaving only a small
''stoop'' before the door. A tiny ~youngster,
all unmindful of the fact that he was sit
ting on the threshold over which had
passed the feet of the great men OF old Mis-
souri,. gazed curiously at the camera that
was focused at the old house. which still
stands erect in spite of a crumbled appear
ance about its stone foundation, and Won
dered what 1t was all about.
st. Charles was the first white settlement
I'm the Territory of Missouri after that Of
st. Louis. Five years after the founding
of st. Louis. Louis Blanchette padded UP
the Missouri and camped on the north bank
of the stream, twonty miles from its con-
fluence with the Mississippi and twenty
three miles northwest from st. Louis. As
nearly as can be gathered from the records,
it was In October, 1765, that the deep canoe
of .Blanchette first stopped before the spot
that is now the city of st. Charles. He
termed his pretty camping-ground Les Pc
tites Cotes-"The Little Hills" This, per-
haps. was suggested to him by the autumn
boldness and beauty Of the bluffs along the
rivers edge.
