Such is the conclusion reached by
Emma g. and George w. Thompson,
two young Chicagoans, married some
years ago without parental consent
or money, who are now parties to a
divorce action commenced in the Hen
nepin county district court.
George Thompson and Emma Perry

young man, having just reached mans

heart to elope with him. AT any rate,

bleak February day in 1900.
The young husband had assumed
matrimonial responsibilities sans
work, sans money, sans everything
except hope and devotion. The few
dollars on hand were quickly spent
and the other assets proved of little
value when the wolf appeared at the
door. The wife pawned her bicycle
to procure food, but finally gave up in
despair and returned to live with her
family. In March, 1900, the Perrys
moved to Minneapolis.
From that time to the present Mrs
Thompson claims that she has heard

he has in no way contributed to he1
support. She asks for her freedom

BUTTER SCULPTOR
SUES BARTLETT
Artist Who Modelled Roosevelt
Ahorse for North Dakota Elk
hibit Wants Payment.
Special to The Journal.

ST. Louis, Aug. 24.-Frederick
Schmol, who made the first of the
butter equestrian statues of President
Roosevelt. exhibited in a refrigerator
In the North Dakota section at the
agricultural building, has begun in
Justice O'TIallorans court a suit for.
1875 which he alleges to be due him
from the North Dakota fair commits
sion.
The suit is directed against Lieu
tenant Governor David Bartlett, chlef
of the North Dakota fair commission.
Schmol alleges that he was en-
gagged to make the butter figure July
1. and that Bartlett contracted to pay
$4T5 for it. OF this sum 500 was
paid in advance. Schmol says he mas
since been unable to collect the bal
ance or any part OF 1t.
The butter statue showed the presl-
dent in the saddle. 1t was three
quarters size, and was made Of plaster
of paris, with an inch of butter out
side.
Within the last few days it has been
thrown away and replaced by another
butter statue of the president, made
by C. r. Froelich. The North Dakota
people who have conducted the nego-
tiations with Schmol say that the bill
has not been paid because the work
was not according to contract.
They aver that Schmol came to
them with Photographs VI pullcl
statues he said he had made. The
fair commissioners liked the idea and
the work and they contracted for one
of the figures. But they say that
when Schmols was set up it was ridi-
culed by the people and even ordered
removed by the exposition author1-
ties upon the ground that it was too
poor to be given a place at the fair.
The commissioners say that the presl-
dent was not pictured as plump man
Of no small proportions, but as little
dried-up fellow. They further say
that they might have endured this
had it not been for the attitude of the
presidents mount, which, they aver,
was clearly giving the hero Of San
Juan the horse laugh, for it's lips were
parted, and the derisive smile upon its
features was so plain that everybody
''got onto it, to use the language OF
the commissioners.
Additionally, the statue had sum-
mer complaint. The butter melted,
and whenever the temperature
mounted to so the firm, warl1ke fea-
lures Of the president lost their i'm
mobility and ran down on his chin.
It Is said around the North Dakota
section that the frequent calls for Mr..
Schmol to come out and refeature the
statue resulted in an open rupture and
@ recourse to lawyers.

students. Attic the registration does
not begin until next Wednesday, near
~ a hundred Students focked into the
registrars office this morning to see
about their conditions and extra work.
This year, for the first time in the
history of the 'U," there will be no
regular weekly holiday. REGULATIONS
will be held every day in the week in
order to make smaller classes and
keep pace with the expected increase
in enrolment.
On account Of the uncertainty of
the crops in the northwest, it is not
known whether the registration will
be in proportion with that of other
years. but a notable increase, is ex-
pected. More personal inquiries and
applications for catalogs have been
received this summer than ever be-
fore, and Registrar Pierce is confident
that the enrolment will pass the
1000 mark. The greatest number Of
these applications come from north
western Iowa and from South Dakota,
where several alumni have done mis-
siCnarys work.

graduates of last year. Lillian Cohen,

be an instructor in. German. o. P.
McElmeel, a member Of the debating
team, will be an instructor in rhetoric
Other instructors will probably be APP
pointed from the student body after
the registration closes.
There are no new buildings OF
equipment this year, but the two
physics buildings and the school OF
mines erected last year will make
room for nearly five hundred more
students. The rooms vacated by these
two departments will be occupied by
the botany and engineering depart.

Washington, Aug. ga sensation
has been caused in financial and real
estate circles in this city by a petition
in bankruptcy, filed by three of the
leading national banks Of the city
against Thomas e. Waggerman, a
prominent local real estate and in
surance agent, and treasurer of the
Catholic university. 81
The petition seeks to set aside a
deed of trust recorded yesterday on
Mr.. Waggerman's property of APP
proximately $4,000, in favor of the
Catholic university, on the ground that
it is void, as being an attempt by an
insolvent debtor to prefer one of his
creditors.
It is understood that some time ago
the authorities Of the university be-
came dissatisfied with the manner in
which the funds of the institution in
Mr.. Waggernan's hands were invested
and secured, and after negotiations be-
tween them arrangeme were eff
fected. These. arrangements5wer en-
bodied in a settlement of which the
deed Of trust was a part.
The friends of the university say
that they think it will lose nothing II
the deed of trust can be sustained.

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. a..
Cummins, who has
just returned from an extend

dent Roosevelt will have a bigger
majority in the electoral college next
fall than the late William Mckinley
had four years ago.
New York is certain" said Gov
ernor Cummins. There is not yet
much political excitement in the east.
When the fight is on in earnest it will
be squarely upon republican and
democratic lines. Business men re-
gard Parker as safe, but they look be-
hind him and sorely criticise his party.
The enthusiasm for Parker was at it's
height just after the convention"
While in Cohassett, Mass, Governor
Cummins had visit with Eugene N.
Foss, the New England reciprocity
leader who has driven Senator Lodge
to change his position. The governor
believes that the rank and file of re-
publicans favor the reciprocity teach
ings which he has been spreading
thruout the west.
