HUNTS FOR HUSBAND
MRS. W. A. TEAGUE TOLD MAYOR
 PATHETIC STORY.
Texas Woman Travelled from Beau mont to Atlanta Looking for Truant Spouse and Came
 Here Without Money.

pathetic story of woman's wrongs | was told to Mayor Thomas H. Carr yes- terday morning by Mrs w. A. Teague of Beaumont, Tex, who reached Montgom4 cry from Atlanta on a delayed train about daylight.
 Mrs. Teague was married two months ago in Beaumont. Within month after she was married to Teague, already a | widower, her husband she says, gave her medicine which made her very ill. The matter was reported to the grand jury. and her husband was indicted, but, she says, rather than submit to arrest, he fled from Texas.
 Since That time his wife, who still loves him, and who has spent all her money, has been making a vain search all over the country for her missing husband.
 She learned that Teague was in Atlanta and wrote a letter to Police Chief Ball of that city for information. She was advised that a man named Teague was in Atlanta. Mrs. Teague said she used her last money, $25, to travel to Atlanta. Arriving there she confronted the At lanta Teague, who was not her husband, although she said he admitted having deserted his wife in Texas.
 Mrs. Teague was alone, friendless and penniless in a strange city, and she was distressed greatly. She said she was
  lanta officials. Police Chief Ball supplied her with a railroad ticket to Montgom- cry and a letter to Mayor Carr.
 When Montgomery's Mayor reached his office yesterday morning. Mrs. Teague was waiting to see him. She told her sad story in a straightforward manner and the heart of Mayor Car was touched. She desired to return to Beaumont, and Mayor Carr said he would help her.
 Gladden. Harrison, private secretary to Police Chief Gerald, and secretary of the Organized Charities, was called into con- sultation and provision was made for meals for Mrs. Teague. She was entirely without money. Later in the day she was provided with a railroad ticket to Mobile and a letter to Mayor Mclean of the Gulf City. She left for Mobile last night
 q have friends in Mobile and New Or leans," said Mrs. Teague, and if l can reach there I will be all right"
 Mrs Teague appeared to be about 30 years old. She was neatly dressed and wore a valuable diamond broach, which. she said, was family heirloom.
 She said her mother lived in Beaumont and that she could make "a good living there. She said she was earning $50 q month before her marriage as stenog- rapher, and she could get the same posi- ton.
 Her husband, she said, had squandered $500 of her money, but she wanted him to come back home because she loves him.

Of the many new discoveries none has attracted so much attention in the scien. tincXworld as that made by K. Leo Minges of Rochester. N. Y. Mir. Minges is to short men and women what the great wizard, Edison, is to electricity. He has demonstrated beyond any question or doubt that he has gathered more informa- ton relative to bone. muscle and sinew than any one else in existence. Mir. Minges is very modest in his claims. He has the interest of the general public at heart, and every short man or woman may write him in the fullest confidence, and they may rest assured that the con- ndence placed in him will be kept so closely that his most intimate friends will know nothing of it.

PAY DAYS AT THEATRES.
Several Glasses Of Employees See Ghost
Walk at Different Times.

Every legitimate theater in New York
has two pay days-mion and nonunion.
The union employees, which include the
men in the orchestra, the stage hands,
property men and stage carpenters, are
paid, as their union regulations demand,
on Saturday night. The actors, who have
no union, are not paid until Tuesday,
although their week ends on Saturday
with the nights performance. Their sal
aries are held up two days merely to in
sure their temperance at the theater
on Monday.
If the company was paid off on Satur-
day night unreliable or disaffected mem
bers of the organization might not show
up on Monday for rehearsal or the even
ing performance, thus weakening me
production, but if the weeks salary is
held back they are reasonably sure to
report on Monday, in order not to lose
what is coming to them. Actors are dis
tinctly temperamental and capricious
and if a manager We're to pay off on Sat
urday night and there existed any tenn
porary dissatisfaction in the company
he could never tell whether he would
have chorus with which to open up the
week on Monday evening.
At the vaudeville houses. where the
bill changes weekly, the performers, as a
rule are paid on Saturday during the
matinee performance, so that they may
make their arrangements for getting out
of town to the next stand directly after
their evening appearance-New York

trades and labor council, asking the
merchants and manufacturers to form
division in the parade, using floats.
1t was accepted and the meeting recon-
mended that as many as could do so
should take part in the parade with
floats.
The committee on new lighting plant
reported progress and prospects fatter-
ing. 1t also reported that the only OBJ
stacle in the way of success and the
only thing that it has had to contend
with was the attitude of the daily news
papers of the city.
A resolution was adopted, being in
substance as follows, as reported by a
member of the association, the meetings
being secret and no reporters allowed:
THAT it was the sense of the meeting
that the daily newspapers were antig-
onizing the best interests of the citizens
and business men by the course they had
taken in opposing the business mems
plan; and that withdrawal of patron
age from such newspapers as continue
such course be recommended"
Our informant states that this was
adopted without opposition after con-
siderable discussion. The Free Press
seems to have come in for the larger
part of the attention in the discussion.
The Free Press informant declined to
say who was responsible for the intro
duction of the resolution.
Municipal ownership was discussed
and the difference between the prices
charged for water at Saltwater and at
Mankato was mentioned. Saltwater,
with ten less hydrants than there are in
this city, pays more for rent of hydrants
for fire protection than the interest on
bonds and the entire operating expenses
of the plant in this city. The Still
water plant is owned by private cor
poration. Whereas Mankato citizens
are charged 81 season for lawn sprink-
ling for each &c foot lot, Saltwater resi-
dents are charged $l2 for the same ser
vice. The rate for other private pur-
poses at Saltwater are almost proper
tionately greater than in Mankato.
1t was stated that five men operate
the water and lighting plants at New
Ulm, three in the day time and two at
night. Electricity is used in many of
the residences as well as the business
houses.
The lighting committee was commend
ed for its labors and was instructed to
keep on with its work.

CATTLE AT THE FAIR.
Minnesota's Fair Only One Where
National Exhibitions Are Held.
From Thursdays Daily.

rIOm IuuSody OShy'
Live stock exhibitions of national
Importance have come to be regu-
lar part of the Minnesota state fair.
For three years there have been sue
cessful shows of this class. If this
years show did no more than merely
duplicate that of last no more would
need be said of it to induce multi
tudes to go and see it. But everything
will excel all predecessors. The Ma
tional Shorthorn and Hereford Asso-
Citations will again make the Minnesota
fair the only state fair for the exhi-
bition of the choicest animals OF these
breeds under the direct auspices of the
associations. And it is possible that
other breeds will be represented In
similarly conspicuous manner. At all
events, it is known that all breeds will
be represented by many and most ex-
cellent herds and individuals. Public
sales of cattle will be held, as last year,
giving prospective buyers splendid OPP
portunity to combine business with
pleasure profitable business with
wholesome, instructive pleasure. This
fair has now become too prominent, too
much of a national affair, to make the
showing of ordinary specimens OF cat
tie, or offering them for sale, desirable or
profitable to their owners, hence very
high. class exhibit miy be expected.
The fair opens this year on Monday,
August 3lst, and closes Sept. 9th.
