LOVE LAUGHS AT MANDATE

SPOKANE, Wash, March Miss
Dollie Markham, of Omaha, Neb., is
on her way to Spokane to we'd the
young man of her choice. There is
an interesting and somewhat romantic
story connected with the affair." Five
years ago Miss Markham and Leonard
Hall were attendants at the high
school in this city and while there a
feeling of affection grew up between
them which appears now to be likely
to be contaminated in their marriage.
Mrs. Holsheiter. Miss Markham's
mother, opposed the match from the
beginning. When young Hall left
Omaha for the west some months ago,
and perhaps thought the match was
ended, but the young couple have
kept up correspondence. Mrs. Hol-
shelter continued to refuse her con-
sent TO the match and the young
people decided to wait till Miss Mark
hams 18th birthday, when she would
be free to marry whoever she chose.
Shortly after her birthday the young
woman announced her intention of
leaving for Spokane and started for
this city Tuesday
Young Halls mother was at first
opposed to the marriage on account
of the youth of the lovers, but finally
became interested in the match and
is now giving her aid to the young
people.

With the conviction of the Machen

crowd public interest in the postoffice
George w. Beavers, indicted in
Brooklyn and in Washington for con-

came UP for argument in the supreme
court today on an appeal from the de-
cison of the United States commits
sioner and the judge of the circuit
court of New York directing that
Beavers must go to Brooklyn to
stand trial. If the supreme court de-
cides that Beavers must face the in
dictments which have been waiting for
him in Brooklyn since last fall, it will
be for the prosecution to decide what
will become of the indictments in
Washington. These have been holding
back for the decision on the Brook
lyn indictments.

WITNESS ADMITS THE DEED.

BUTTE, Mont, March 7.-During
the progress of the trial of Martin
Blatnich for the murder of an Aus
trian named Joseph Stukal, something
almost unprecedented in a criminal
trial was the admission Of Mike Mulch
while in the witness chair, that he
had inflicted the wound that resulted
in Stukals death.
His statement, if correct, entirely
relieves Blatnich of responsibility for
Stukars death. During his testimony
Mulch stated that Stukal had at
tackled him, and that he had stabbed
him in self-defense, believing that
Stukal would infiict great punishment
upon him.

wise to follow the animal that had
been wounded. Mr.. Westall says that
although he had had considerable ex-
perience hunting wild animals, he
never saw such an exhibition of TAX

by one of the cougars that he failed to
hit. 1t jumped high into the air and
took great bounds of probably forty
feet at a leap.

Mail Wagon Driver Jumps Out,
Unable to Control Horses


Louis Campbell, living at 9O9 West
Central avenue, jumped from the
drivers seat on United States Mail
Wagon No. 1 yesterday afternoon, on
Fifth street, a short distance west of
Wabasha, while the horses were run
ming away. He fell heavily to the
pavement but suffered only scratches
On one hand and one leg, and was able
to work the remainder of the day.
The horses Started to run as they
were leaving the livery stable of J. c..
Shea, ga East Fifth street, and went
west on Fifth street Up the hill from
Cedar street to Wabasha they were
going at slow gallop, but Campbell
apparently made little effort to control
their speed. 1t was evident that he de-
sired to jump from the wagon and was
making an effort to do So
A short distance west of Wabasha
he succeeded in making the leap, and
although he alighted with considerable
force, he was soon up and after the
team. The horses ran on Fifth street
10 Seventh street and were stopped at
Seven corners by Patrolman Morris
sey. They were going at a rapid gait
when the officer made the stop.
Campbell explained the runaway by
saying that one Of the team was a new
horse and has a bad temper THE ami
mails secured a start before he could
get IN the seat and seize the lines firm
ly. This disconnected him to such an
extent that he was unabl to make an
eHectual effort to stop the runaways.

The First Ward Improvement aSSo-

were made against the proposed fed

Skog the association unanimously
voted not to enter the federation, but
to continue to work for the improve
ment of the ward, independent of any
general association.
The First ward association was or
ganized year ago last night, and the
annual meeting was largely given over
to consideration of the accomplish
ments of the year. A. D. Nelson, of
the board of directors, read report of
the years work, and it included:
Securing an appropriation Of $4,000
for paving Payne avenue; the compile
ton of the Arcade street bridge: large
cars on the Mississippi street car line;
an appropriation of $4,000 for macad-.
amizing Arcade street; the grading Of
Forest street; the beginning Of work
in preparing plans and specifications
for the new steel bridge at Payne ave-
nue. and Beaumont street, and the new
bridge at Fauquier street
The associations chief achievement
as indicated in the report of the board
of directors, was the blocking of the
plan for the Capitalization of the high
school system. Not only did the asse-

The scoring will not be undertaken I'M

butter that must be sold and con-

decided to postpone our scoring until
about the middle of the month, and re-

LOVE FEDERAL JOBS
Candidates Take Examination
With No Vacancies In Sight

There is fascination about gov
eminent employment that cannot be
explained. A civil service examination
TO be conducted on Monday at the fed
eral building for clerks, inspectors, ETC.,
IN the customs service for the ST. Paul
district, and at which there will be
thirty candidates with no vacancies in
immediate prospect, is in point.
In the past twenty years that the
civil service has been in force, nearly
800 men have passed the examina-
lions for the st. Paul postoffiee," said
Patrick M. Moroney, secretary Of the
local civil service board, yesterday.
And as there are only about 250 men
now employed, something has hap
pened to the others. From 100 to $50
have declined positions in the service
after passing the examination and be-
ing placed on the eligible list. while
ABOUT 100 have withdrawn after enter
ing the service and finding that it
1alled to meet their expectations
For the examination scheduled for
Monday there are thirty applicants.
The growth of the customs service is.
or course, much less rapid than the
postal service, and it is not probable
that there will be many vacancies in
the st. Paul office in the immediate fu
ture. Yet applicants are coming from
both North and South Dakota to take
the examination next week"

Ward Associations Postpone
Organization of Central Body

AT the meeting Of the representa-
tlVes of the different improvement as
soc1at1ons in the city council chamber
yesterday to form federated aSsocia-
ton there was not a large attendance,
owing to the understanding that the
session was to have been held in the
evening.
1t was announced that it is the plan
to draw into the organization some of
the leading men of the CITY thereby
creating body that will carry force
with its recommendations as to public
improvements. Such men will be in
duced to become members of the asso-
citation in their districts and be chosen
as delegates to the central body, the
plan being to make the latter advisory
to the local or ward organizations.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation was prepared to make it's report
but it was decided to postpone the
election of officers and the adoption of
a constitution and bylaws until there
is more representative gathering

e. H. Wood, secretary of the Sixth

suggested the federation, feels certain
that the movement will prove a great
success. He said:
There is no doubt but that a large
number of the most prominent of the
business men and city officials will be
interested, particularly when they
know that politics is to have no place
in the organization. The idea is simply
to have a central organization that will
be in position to urge upon the
proper officials the making of improve
ments that will be of the greatest value
to the city. Such an organiza ton will
be in a position to discuss all the ques-
lions of vital interest connected with
public affairs, and as has been the case
in the ward associations, facts will be
brought out that will be of benefit to
the city officials in the transaction OF

as was done in the ease of Payne ave-
nue.. This decision clears the atmos-
phere and future assessments will be
made without fear and trembling that
what is done will be overturned by
the courts. We shall proceed as though
the decision had been made by the SUI
preme court"
All but about $4,000 assessed for the
Payne avenue paving has been paid,
and judgment will be entered against
all who have not settled. There re-
mains due on the West Seventh street
paving about $4,000, and it is possible
that the affected property owners will
appeal to the courts again.
