A Capable Buildin. Firm

MessrS. John Carlson q Co.,
the builders, last week com
pleted work on the Swedish
Lutheran church, and this week
would have put the finishing
touches on the abstract office
and post office buildings had
they not been delayed for lack
of some needed material. The
brick work on the new Episcopal
church has also been somewhat
delayed by the non arrival of the
stone trimmings, but the build
ing is assuming proportions,
and promises to be handsome
little ediice. Mr.. Charles Has
len, the membe of the firm who
has had charge of the building g
operations in Mllbank, is a most
efficient architect and practical
builder, and in the various Gpes
of work the firm employs none
but the most skillful and capable
workmen. Besides the struc-
lures which this firm has had
under way in Milbank during the
season they have had force of
men at Ortonville and Clinton, at
the latter place putting up a bank
building and post office. Alto
gether they have had under
construction during the summer
ten store buildings, two churches,
two bank building and number
of residences, their contracts
amounting to nearly $50, 900
during the year. They are a
reliable and capable firm OF
builders and building contract
entrusted to them will be faith
fully and cons cautiously com
pleted in every detail and speci-
ticatiOn.

Worlds Fair Building

Sioux Falls, S. d., Oct. o.
w. L. Dow & Son, architects,
engaged by the board which
will have charge of South
Dakota's exhibits at the st.
Louis exposition to procure the
plans for the building have
completed the work and in a
few days the members of the
board will depart for ST. Louis
to award the contract.
The structure will be two
stories in height aud will occupy
a ground space of A by 6S feet.
There will be two porches 10
feet wide and 80 feet long, one
at the main entrance to the
building and the other at the
side. There will be no outside
decorations. The structure will
be frame and will be finished
with YanktOn cement and tile
roof.
From the main hall the visitor
will go into a large hall 20 by A
feet in size, with 2S-foot ceiling.
This room and the entrance hall
is where the corn palace effect
will be presented. 1t is the
intention Of the commission tC
decorate these two rooms with
corn and other grain and grasses
grown in South Dakota.
The side walls and ceilings
will be cut into panels 6 fee,
square and it is the purpose OF
the com mission to induce diff
ferent counties and cities of the
state to take one Of these panels
and have a handsome design
with the name of the city OF
county worked in an artistic
manner. This was the plar
followed in the South Dakota
building at the worlds fair a
Chicago, but colored glass was
used instead of grains.
The decorations IN the mair
hall and entrance will be as fine
as can be made, and the exhibi'
is certain to attract as much
attention as any at the exposition

SWALLOWS FATAL DRUG


The St. Paul Pioneer Press
gives the following account o1
the death of William D. Worther
who for some years lived at Big
Stone City and had charge of the
Charles Betcher interests at that
place:
William D. worthen, 305 Dayton
avenue, advertising agent of the Polk
! Directory company, was found dead
in room at the Ryan hotel at &
o'clock last evening from morphine
poison. Death had evidently taken
place several hours previously.
Mr.. Worthen had just recovered
from an attack resulting apparently
from an overdose of the drug. When
he returned to his home Wednesday
evening he took morphine tablets to
alleviate his suffering from neuralgia,
| he evidently got an overdose, for
toward midnight he became seriously
i'll and DR.. H. NJ. Lufkin was called.
1t was o'clock in the morning before
the physician departed, leaving Mr..
Worthen out of danger.
Mr.. WOrthen got up at ! O'Clock,
X
was going out on the road. An hour
later he engaged room at the Ryan
hotel and was taken upstairs by John
Maxwell, a bellboy. He was left in
the room alone.
Some time after dinner Mr.. Worthen
called for DR.. Lufkin, but the doctor
did not receive the call until late in
the afternoon and could not then
10 nnl1 Whar ln roa,hn1
the hotel soon before 8 o'clock, WOr-
then was dead.
Coroner Miller was called, and be
found an empty bottle that had con-
tanned morphine tablets. Two of the
tablets were on the floor. After fur
ther investigation the coroner allowed
the remains to be removed to Damp
ier's undertaking establishment and
examination.
DR.. Lufkin said that he was the
regular physician of the Worthen
family, and that Worthen had suffer-
ed from neuralgia. Mr.. Worthen
usually took morphine, the doctor
said, as a remedy for his chronic
complaint.
Mr.. WOrthen came to ST. Paul ten
years ago as agent of the Pennsyl-
vania Oil company and afterward rep
resented the Cornplanter Oil company.
He left the city and returned again
six years ago with his wife and his
child, engaged as advertising solicitor
by the Polk Directory company.
Mr.. Worthen was born in Lebanon,
N. H., thirty-seven years ago. Eight
years ago he married Miss Betcher,
the daughter of lumberman of Red
Wing, Mimi. A widow and a son
seven years old survive Mr.. Worthen.
A brother is still living in the East.
The interment will take place in
Red Wing.

n Dark case

Under the above heading {
Berrien Springs (Mich.) loca
paper has the following in regard
to the elopement Of Dr.. Robinson
toned a week or so ago. the
clipping having been sent tc
friends here by the deserted
wife with request to have the
notice published in hopes that il
might lead, to the discovery oI
the estrayed husband:
Last Friday DR.. w. f. Robinson. ot
this village left, ostensihly, for Louis.
vile, Ky, for little instruction in
the medical college of which he is an
alumnus. The man who has taker
care of horses says he told him tC
take good care of them until his return
in month or six weeks. On Sunday
Harry Robinson, brother of the doctor,
came from South Bend and had bill
OF sale of the horses conveying them
to another brother living in South
| Bend and took them away.
The same day he left Miss Jennie.
daughter of NJ. J. Stover, who lives
few miles west of this place, left for
a visit with her sister in the state OF
Washington. Saturday they were seen
together in Chicago by w. S, Martin.
AS DR.. Robinson has been extraordin-
arily attentive to the girl-tOO much so
for a married man-people have done
some talking. Enough has been
brought to light to convince all hands
that they have gone together. Mrs.
n fnprpaplIr T ,e
Lincoln township, went down to her
taken any steps to discover the where
abouts Of her husband as yet. SO far
as known nothing has been done by
the family of the girl.
Mrs. Robinson is a stately, hand
some woman of whom any man could
well be proud. She has the respect
of everybody in town who knows her
and the sympathy of all. She loves
her husband and may not take any
measures to bring him back as that
would probably causehim some serious
unpleas antness.
AS such affairs are not common in
this village and its environs the ex-
plosiOn of this one is a shock to every
body. The lonely wife, the mother of
tlle dDSeuG HuSDdlu, Une pafeHGS anu
other members of the family of the
girl in the case are all involved in
matter that can only bring grief and
shame to them if the affair develops
as apprehended.
1t can but be said in justice to the
doctor, however bad his recent actions
may seem to many, numerous friends
in this place unite in the belief that he
must have been actuated by some good
reasons known only to himself, and
we surely hope for satisfactory
adjustment of the Misunderstanding
Mrs. Robinson will not leave this
town at present at least. She has re-
served two rooms in the home she
occupied and the remainder of the
house is rented to G. S. Pyle of the
new sanatarium company. Some bills
of her husband for medical attention
are left with Dix & Wilkinson for
collection and she earnestly desires
that people indebted meet these bills
without unnecessary DELAY. For the
present they are her livelihood and
the sums should not be withheld.
