the postmaster Of Millbury, Mass, who
could not wait until the government got
around to issuing postage stamps, which
was not until 1847. The specimen owned
by the New England Stamp company is
what collectors call perfect copy.
The six stamps together represent a
reconstructed sheet" of st. Louis pro-
visionals, which are In the same class as
the Millbury. Among the other United
States PROFESSIONALS in the collection, but
which could not be satisfactorily repro
duced, are rare New York carrier stamp,
a Brattleboro and scent st. Louis on
pelure paper The latter is held at about
$1,000. Rarer even than this, however,
is Livingstone, provisional, the scarcest
of all the Confederate local stamps, issued
during the civil war by the postmasters
OF many southern cities. This Is held at
$4,000. It is shown on the original en-
velop, which, with many collectors, in
creases Its value.
OF the regular issues of the United
States, there are three Of the 1889 date,
with inverted centers. The Is, "a and 30
cent denominations of this issue were
printed like the late Pan-American stamps
in two colors, the center being medallion
illustrating some historical scene. In run
ming the sheets thru the press the second
time, some were turned wrong end fore
most, causing the center to be inverted
and giving the stamp a topsy -turvy APP

Of its kind in existence. Two other rare
stamps are the 5 and 30-cent denomina

No stamps of equal value have even
been shown in this city before, and the

aware, are much interested. The sixteen
stamps In the exhibit are insured al

TOO MUCH MEDICINE
Miss Hilda Williams Dies, Apparent
ly From an Overdose Of
Cough Syrup.
Deputy Coroner Irvine Decides that
Death Is Due to Narcotic
Poisoning.

Miss Hilda Williams, aged 20, was found
dead In her bed at 2201 Washington ave-
nue. N early this morning. An empty
three ounce bottle, which had contained
cough syrup, was found by her bedside.
narcotic poisoning.
Miss Williams had been suffering from
severe cough and bought a bottle Of
the medicine last night. Early this morn
ing her cousins wife. with whom she
roomed, found the girl dead. Deputy
Coroner Irvine after a careful examina-
ton decided that death was due to mar
cotic' poisoning, the effect Of the cough
medicine.
1t is thought Miss Williams found that
the medicine did not give her relief when
taken according to directions and that
she slipped it until the bottle was empty.
The regular dose for adults Is one-eighth
of an ounce, or one teaspoonful, every
three hours. Miss Williams should have
taken, according to directions. about
three -eighths Of an ounce in the time that
elapsed before she was found, but instead
she took three full ounces
DR.. Irvine Is puzzled to know why the
syrup should have caused death. There
are only about twelve drops Of chloro-
form In three ounces Of the preparation
and the other drugs are not thought to
have been used in sufficient quantities, to
cause fatal results. An autopsy will be
held. . 4.
Miss Williams parents live at Taylors
Falls, but she had been a waitress IN
Minneapolis two years.

MIND Mill MOVES
University Work for the Fall Be
gan in Earnest This
Morning.
President Northrop Gives Whole
some Advice to Students
New and Old.

This was opening day at the university.
and the campus presented an animated
appearance as three thousand students
went to and from their classes. The work
was principally confined to registration
and assignment Of work, no recitations
being held.
The chief event was President North
rop's address in chapel, in which he well
coined all and gave the new and old stu
dents wholesome words of advice. Chapel
was crowded with the new students anx-
ious for the first glimpse Of their. presi-
dent, who chose for his subject, Life
for us all is what we make it." He spoke
OF the environments Of the university,
which We're SO conducive to the forma-
ton of character and which played such
a prominent part In the students every
day life. He admonished the freshmen
to start right by attending strictly to
their duties as students, not allowing any
outside pleasures to interfere with such
work. The usual admonition to refrain
from class organization was9given to the
freshmen, and they were cautioned
against using the university buildings for
class rushes and contests.
President Northrop deplored the lack OF
suitable accommodations around the uni
versity for the young ladies, and hoped
that before another year a dormitory OF
some kind might be built.
The registration so far has reached
2,175 and still the rush continues. There
was long line In front of the registrar &
office at noon.

EAST sIDERs OUT.
They Convince Mayor Haynes That
They Want Main Street
Cleaned Up.
Mayor Suggests First Step-Tickets
for the Banda Rosa En-
gagement Sold.

Mayor James G. Haynes attended a
mass meeting at the East high school
last evening and expressed himself as
being convinced that the residents of
the East Side wished the Main street
dives closed. He said that it was i'm
possible to goa rid Of dives entirely, but
they could be put where they would not
be SO prominent. He was unwilling to
use his arbitrary power for such a pur-
pose until assured that public sentiment
would support him.
Mr.. Haynes announced himself as ear
nestly In favor of the park proposition
and suggested that the block between the
International Auditorium, the East high
school and the Pillsbury library be Sc
cured first. The park board had very
little money with which to purchase land,
but nevertheless the work Of improve
ment must begin at once. He suggested
also that a definite understanding be Sc
cured with M w. Savage so that there
would be a guaranty that the park pro-
posed by him would be permanent.
DR.. Cyrus Northrop Of the state uni
versity presided and made a few remarks
advocating the measures in which that
section Of the CITY is 50 greatly inter
ested. A stirring speech was made by
the Rev. G. L. Morrill, He stated his
belief that the proposed improvements
would not only be good advertisement
for the city, as it would beautify prom
inent section which is now most insight
ly. but would enhance the value of the
surrounding real estate.
The meeting adopted resolutions urg-
ing the administration to close the houses
OF Ill fame on Main street and recon-
mending that the block between the Pills
bury library. the high school and the
auditorium be secured for park purposes
At the close Of the evening the Rev
Mr. Morrill, sold Banda Rosa tickets by
the wholesale, disposing of over $1,000 Ur
to last evening over 1850 tickets hac
been sold. .t--
The meeting was we'll attended, there
being several hundred leading citizen:
present to testify to their approval Of the
proposed park and the crusade agains

onto the stage In the first act, pluming
himself on his cleverness in fooling his
friends, when the orchestra began play

grinning conspirators in the audience,

the performance. 49, g..
There was roar from the audience,

for speech. Mr.. Jones stoutly refused
