Rose Coghlan, during her long ca
feer, has probably expended more
money for dresses than any other ac-
tress in America. THE feeling of be-
ing really dressed, the pleasure in
dainty, delicate linen, the JOY in deep
sables, or rich seal, the sensation of
being right all through should be
dear to the heart of every actress, -
says Miss Coghlan, "for the actress
who relies upon the tones of her voice,
and her art, to carry her to the good
graces of her audience without pleas
ing the eye, will soon find herself sup
planted by the actress who is daintily

The record from Jan. to June 80,
1902. is not given, but it is estimated
that the number of visitors in that
time was at least 100000 Mr.. Spen-
Ger thinks he has seen most of these
visitors. If he did not see all of them
himself his assistants did, and 1T is
believed that a majority of the visitors
asked questions, most of which were
answered. Mr.. Spencer is an accessi-
BILE official. He is a Vermont farmer.

Mountain state he was a collector of
such animals and birds as were known
up there.

a tame crow
This love of animals led Mr.. Spencer
to the waters of his state, and he be-
came interested in fishes. There were
not enough specimens in the rivers f
Vermont to satisfy him, so he went up
and down the New England coast,
studying submarine life and listening
to the stories of men who know the
habitats of the sea from the minnow
to the whale.

The title was abolished some time ago.
There is man in charge of the fishes,

The Aquarium closes to the public at
a certain hour, but the tanks contain
ing the exhibits are never left alone

WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Death Came to John ,s,ssEpp While
Hunting Crows.

Further details concerning the death
of John Rspp, an account of which
was published by the Free Press Sat
urday, show that it was undoubtedly
accidental rather than Intentional.
Rapp. it appears, started out from
his home near Kasota early Saturday
morning with the intention of shoot
ing crows. He took his double barrel
shot gun with him. 1t is evident
that he crawled through barbed wire
fence in the woods and pulled the gun
after him. Both barrels were dis
charged into his breast. He was able
to 90 but couple of rods further,
when he fell down and soon expired
from his injuries.
As Rapp did not return home, a
little daughter set out to find him,
and came across his dead body. She
gave the alarm, and the remains were
carried home and the coroner sum-
moned. Rspp had apparently been
dead four or five hours when the body
was found.
Rapp was a brother-in-law of G.
McGraw of this city.
The deceased leaves a wife and three
children. The funeral occurred this
afternoon.

A GAINESVILLE Man Charged With Send
ina an Obscene Letter.

Thomas E. Colahan, of GAINESVILLE,
was brought before United States
Court Commissioner A. o. Eberhart
Saturday on the charge of send
ing an obscene letter through the
mails. The complaint was signed by
J. NJ. Dickey, assistant q. s. district
attorney, and alleges that the letter
is too foul to be set forth in the COM
plant.
The letter is alleged to have been
written on Kelley Institute letter
heads and mailed from Minneapolis
Oct. 9th, 1901. to Colahan's wife,
Mrs. Isadore s. Colahan, being sent
to her at Lamberton, where she is
staying with her sister, and marked
personal. 1t is alleged to be signed
by the defendants full name.
The defendant entered plea of not
guilty. Mrs. Colahan gave her testi-
mony, after which her husband waiv-
ed further examination and was bound
over to the November term of the U.
S. court. He furnished $500 bail, his
security being John W. Jennison, of
Janeville.
Colahan is the man who failed in
his SO, 900 damage suit againt a
GAINESVILLE business man for the alleg-
ed alienation of his wife's affections.
Mrs. Colahan brought an action for
divorce, and failed to get one. She
has been living at, Lamberton with
her children. 1t is claimed that Cola
han went to Lamberton the other day
and forcibly obtained possession of his
eight year old son, whom he found
attending school. The boy was with
his father today, and while in the
court room complained that his new
shoes hurt his feet On investigation

THE VALUE OF SCHOOL DAYS.

Professor Search in his talk to the
high school Friday presented very
interesting problems in arithmetic for
the pupils to work over. Here is
man entirely without education who
certainly from such clrcum-
stances, cannot be expected to make
over dollar and half per day.
Allowing the man 800 working days
to the year this mai, at the best can
not hope to earn more than $3.50 per
year. In 40 years this would give him
SIS, 600 of earnings. Another man has
been an earnest attendant of the school
from boyhood up, and has graduated
at the end of the twelve years course.
Now statistics go to show that the
boy gradate of the high school, in his
manhood. earns not less than 81, 900
per year. In the 40 years this would
produce for him $40, O10: a difference
of $22, 600 in favor of the high school
boy. What makes this difference in
the earnings of the two men? Purely
a difference in education. How
many days does child spend usually
in covering the work of the public
school course up to the time of his
graduation. On the average about
2, 300 DAYS. Then 200 days produces
difference of $22, 600 in the forty
years earnings of the two men, max.
ing each school days work worth Sl(

The olive crop of southern California

olive berries into the burlsp. This il
taken up, the leaves are blown out,
and then the berries are sorted. The
over-ripe ones are taken out, and al
that are imperfect. Then the good
berries are run through a grading
machine, which separates them into
sizes.
The large berries are taken for pick
ling, and the smaller are crushed fol-

under a greater pressure and nearly
all the oil is crushed out. This il

brushes the pulp, piths and all as fine
as can be. This oil is good for cock

MAY BRING SUIT.
Alleged Libel of Montana Paper on
MankatO Man.

]. E. Reynolds, city editor of the
Review, went to st. Paul Monday after
noon. 1t is learned that his departure
for that city was due to telegram
received from Elk United States Sena-
tor Carter, of Montana, asking the
newspaper man to meet him there.
I It is believed that the meeting of
Messrs. Carter and Reynolds has to do
with the possible commencement of
libel suit by these gentlemen or one
of them against a Helena, Mont,
paper.
In 1896, Mr.. Reynolds represented
Great Falls in the Montana legisla
ture. Two United States senators
were chosen by that Legislature, Lee
Mantle and Thomas 81. Carter, now
director general of the st. Louis ex
position, and formerly chairman of
the Republican national committee.
Mr.. Reynolds was Carter man.
The Helena, Mont, Herald last
december charged that Mr.. Reynolds
accepted check for 81, 900, signed by
Thos. e. Carter. and that he cast his
vote for Mr.. Carter because of having
received the check. This statement
the paper reiterated several times,
together with various statements in
connection with the matter.
The charge being serious, Mr.. Rey-
nolds wrote a communication to the
Herald, strongly denying the sllega-
tions and calling on the paper to re-
tract it's statements. Instead Of re-
tracing, the paper came out with an
article commenting on the communi-
cation and refusing to retract. It
claimed to have secured its informa-
tion regarding the check from a well
known Republican resident of Great
Falls.
Mr.. Reynolds wrote to the Great
Falls man and has letter from him,
in which he admits having giving the
information or alleged information to
the Herald, upon which it based its
charge.
The matter has assumed 80 serious
an aspect that Messrs. Carter and
Reynolds may feel that something
must be done to protect their good
names. 1t is understood that they prob
ably arrived at some understanding
that evening as to what STEPS to take.
1t may be that suit for libel will be
; decided upon.
Friends of either gentleman will be
very slow to accept the truth Of the
charges. and feel that they will be
able to clear their skirts without any
difficulty.

SPECTATOR INJURED.
Slack of Cable on Gravel Train
Breaks Boys Leg.

Clements, the fourteen year old son
of Henry Klughertz, met with an I'M
fortunate accident shortly before five
o'clock Saturday afternoon. He was
standing at a point eighteen feet
north of the Milwaukee depot,
watching the gravel trains being
unloaded with the steam shovel.
When the slack was taken out of the
cable that connects the engine with
the shovel, it struck the lad just be-
low the left knee, breaking his leg.
DR.. Warner was summoned and after
reducing the fracture had the boy
tken to his home on Main street or
Agency hill
It has been ascertained that wher
the boy was struck, he was standing
at point nineteen and half fee
from the center of the track where TIT
gravel train stood, and six feet nine
inches back from the platform line
and three and half feet south of the
southeast corner of the clubhouse NORTH
of the depot.
