FALLS INTO RIVER
Man Escapes Drowning, but Is
Seriously Injured

Stunned by fall from the docks at
the Jackson street landing late yes
terday afternoon. Carl Ober, 80 years,
lO4O West Seventh street, rolled into
the river and would have drowned but
for the assistance of his companions.
The man sank Immediately and did
not rise TO the surface for some time.
Obergs companions we're about to enter
the wafer and dive for the body when
IL rose few feet from the docks. One
OF the men on the shore managed to
throw coil of rope about the head and
shoulders of the man and he was drag
ged ashore Oberg was unconscious
and apparently dead. but after being
rolled about the docksN for some time
began TO show signs of life and was
hurried to a nearby drug store and q
physician called.
After receiving medical attendance
Oberg was taken to his home He ex-
perienced no serious effects from his
Icy bath, but received a deep cut on
the back of the head when he fell from
the dock that may result fatally.
Just how Oberg happened to fall into
the water Is not known, but it is
thought that in moving some old tim
Ter from the edge of the dock he lost
his balance. Several spikes protrude
from the water edge of the dock. and it
Is thought his head struck one of the
nails. Oberg was slightly improved
last night and the attending physician
says there is good chance of recovery.

OFFICE WILL GROW
Stevens Says Postal Business
VIII Increase Rapidly

The St Paul postoffice, as a branch
of the general department, is to benefit
greatly by the reorganization of the
postal system, according to Congress-
man F. c. Stevens. The office here-is
postal headquarters for the northwest,
and the Increase of business will be
very large, as much of the business
formerly done in the general office will
now come to the branch offices.
The reorganization is to go on rap
idly under the direction of Postmaster
General Cortelyou. A parcel post sys-
tenn and system of post checks is to
be made effective, which will greatly
enhance the value of the postal system
in general.
Congressman Stevens thinks that in
time the federal building must be near
ly all occupied by the postoffice, but
not for many years. There will be sew
eral changes in quarters at once, how
ever. The customs and internal reve-
nue. collectors departments will be
moved to the old postoffice this spring
to make more room. Collectors Peter
son and Won Baumbach of the treas
urer's department will move to the old
federal building and also the govern
ment engineers. Their quarters will at
once be given up to the postal system.

JUROR SENT To JAIL
George Ober Punished for Con-
@e- temOt of Court

For years the good old sprained
ankle story has done valiant service as
an excuse for the accumulation of un-
manageable jags. but Judge Bum yes
terday made a ruling in the district
longer be received in that temple of
justice as good and sufficient justifica-
ton.
The ruling was occasioned by the ap-
paaranee in court of George Z. Ober, a
juryman in the case of lie Roy Stegner
VS.. Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway company. with tongue so thick
and a walk SO unsteady that il was
evident that he was very drunk He
was late, too. The taking of evidence
in the case had been completed Sat
urday, and the jurors were to assem-
BILE yesterday morning at 10 o'clock TO
hear the arguments of the attorneys
and to receive their instructions from
the judge.
When Juryman Ober made his ap-
pearance Judge Bum was standing in
the courtroom talking to Attorneys S.
A. Anderson and F. w. Root. who have
charge of the respective sides of the
case. while the other eleven members
were in their seats Everybody was
awaiting. the arrival of the tardy
juror.
He seemed to realize the responsible
ity which rested upon his shoulders,
and so he tackled up the room towards
the judge. Smiling, innoceDtly, he re-
marked:
'rm-his-a trifie-hic-late, Judge
hic."
We'll. 1 should say. you WERE" re-
sponded the judge. Whats the mat
ter with you?"
Il sprained my-hic-an-hic- !"
And you're drunk, teo," observed the
judge.
George z. Ober drew himself up to
his full height and with an air of in
nocence rejoined: 'I-hic-am not: /
am as-hic-sober as a jud-hic-
preacher"
Judge Bum decided that his eyes did
not deceive him. and he promptly as
sessed a fine Of S25 for contempt Of
court upon the delinquent and ordered
Deputy Clerk Gruenwald to collect the
fine. Ober only had $40. and so he was
committed to the county jail for thirty
days, or until he produces the neces-
sary amount
Both attorneys consenting, the trial
of the case proceeded with the eleven
faithful jurors left, and late yesterday
afternoon it went to the jury. Late
last evening they had not succeeded in
agreeing upon q verdict.

Millinery Opening

-, The. strains of sweet music added to
the charm of the millinery department
at Schuneman q Evans yesterday. when
Jnelr spring opening of hats was held.
The beautiful cOlors of the hats the gay
mowers and the crowds of well dressed
women made the affair resemble an after
noon tea on Summit avenue, save that
the conversation was confined almost en-
tirely to obs and abs of admiration at
the beauty Of the new hats My lady will
be pretty hard to suit if she takes excep-
ton to the headgear to be seen at Schune-
man & Evans. r0,.
The large showroom was most taste
fully arranged and decorated with flowers
and on every side tables covered with
beautiful hats We're to be seen. The
shapes this spring are new, and when it
Is considered what has gone before in
other seasons that is saying a good deal.
Ot course the manner of dressing the
hair has much to do with influencing hat
shapes and now that so many different
modes or hair dressing are popular vari-
Gus shapes conform to them. For the
woman who wears her hair in coil I'm
her neck and has disposed of her pompa-
forward and is high in the back This
shape is a novelty this year and is going
TO be much worn Then there is the
colonial hat, the round Tommy Atkins
smart little hat and very becoming to
pretty faces, the Rob Roy, Scotch turban.
the faring front which. while not exact
ly new, is shown here in new FORM and
the tailored street hats. 1t is safe to say
that nowhere can a larger variety be
found OF the stiff but smart tailor hats
than here. They are made mostly of
straw braid, turned up in odd ways and
places. and of every shade under the sun.
Time was when woman thought couple
of hats would take her through the sea-
son. but that is a thing of the past now,
and any woman who goes out and is well
dressed has her hats for every occasion.
There is the tailored hats for the morn
ing downtown, the afternoon hats of white
or black. the lingerie hat for her linen
frocks. and Schuneman & Evans have some
beautiful examples of these dainty lingerie
hats-the evening hat, the garden hat and
heaven knows how many other hats which
the smart woman requires.
The old fashioned chips and IeghornS are
being used again. many of them made in
the Tam OShanter shape but the grass
braids and maline are equally swell. In
the matter of trimming much latitude is
allowed. Ostrich feathers are used in
great variety and this year are combined
with flowers. The newest things in
feathers are the shaded ones; a pink one
Will shade to strawberry. a pale green to
olive. These are most effective and are
novelties. The colors are gayer and more
good, red is to be much worn the hello
shades are smart, and onion color and
maple brown are also fashionable.
The model hats at Schuneman & Evans
are particularly charming. An immense
black chip is covered with ostrich plumeS;
white chip has white ostrich plumeS and
crimson velvet bands. Some of the dain-
test and rareSt hats are to be seen III
the window display on Sixth street, and
crowds of interested women stood in front
of them all day yesterday
