Roberts County Woman Has Bad Luck
in Keeping Husbands.


in Keeping Husbands.
The suicide of a farmer named Ed
ward Holland, residing in Harmon
township, Roberts county, about eight
cen months ago has been recalled by
reports which come from that town
ship with reference to the latest matri-
monial alliance of his widow.
Within short time after her first
husband shot and killed himself. his
widow is alleged to have placed an ad-
vertisement for a new husband in a
matrimonial publication. This came
to the notice of young German
named Weingarten, who opened cor
respondence with the widow, who had
considerable property.
The correspondence resulted in the
marriage of the couple last fall. Now
word comes from the neighborhood
where the couple lived that the hus-
band has disappeared. He was some
what different from Johann Hook, for
when he married the widow he had
several hundred dollars of his own
her money with him.
AS an acquaintance puts it, she just
merely escaped with his life and his
old clothes" The deserted woman is
reported to be very angry at the flight
of her new husband, and it is said
she has engaged detectives to find him
and bring him back to her.

One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind.
Peruna is perfectly harmless, It cam be-

But He Courted a Young Lady in
This City.

from Fridays Daily.
Further developments have appeared
in the case of the young lady of this
city who was courted for some time by
Il man, who. unbeknown to her, had a
wife and family elsewhere. The young
lady is one of the most highly respect
ed residents of this city. The supposed
lover is a minister, now said to be
preaching somewhere in Iowa. Not long
ago, a number of ministers of the same
denomination happened to visit at the
home of the young lady. They heard
of the supposed engagement and said
that they knew the man and that he
was married man with children. The
young lady of course was very much
shocked, but they would not retract
their statements, and gave her mum
Der of references to which she might
write and find out about the man. She
did So and found out that what she had
been told was too true. The family of
the man had been living in Minneapolis,
but moved elsewhere.

From Fridays Daily.
A. j. Cummings today received the
following by wire:
Minneapolis, July 2l.-Jones, the
wheat expert says: The northwest is
again facing the black rust problem. The
wheat of southern Minnesota and South
Dakota is generally infected on the
main stalk and i'm some localities has
progressed so rapidly as to insure a loss
of the wheat. The infection has crossed
the Minnesota river and is working APP
parently TOWARDS northern Minnesota,
as scattering pieces of wheat reach the
milk stage and receive the infection. We
do not make this announcement for
sensational purpose, but simply that the
trade may know what the situation is.
We have refrained from giving any en-
dorsement of black rust until today and
we announce it today only after five
days of personal investigation in Min
nesota and South Dakota by John In
glis. The only black rust we have fear
ed is the main stem infection. That
is now reached with the wheat coming
into the milk Southern Minnesota
wheat has been followed for five days
and it is spreading. 1t is in the first
stage only and we cannot accept the re-
sponsibility of prophesying as to the
probable result. The disease is starting
in exactly parallel to last year. Fields
that were infected last Monday were
much worse yesterday. If the rust
spreads as it did last year the southern
districts will have only small yield.
Faribault county, a large producer, is
generally infected, some just beginning,
others well started.
Blue Earth county is a day or two
behind Faribault county in the infection.
1t is just showing, but one field of
twenty-five bushels stand is already
badly infected with rust, smut and
blight. 1t is the best wheat that is
being hurt first. There will be good
deal of smut and blight. Is generally in
the southern counties. Ten days will
be necessary to determine the spreading
force of the rust. In the meantime.
the edge is off the crop on account of
rust, smut and blight.

DISCOVERED A FLOATER.
Dead Body Found in Blue Earth at
Gable Mills.
From Fridays Daily

1t was with no little surprise and a
considerable nervous shock that Joe
Kreuer, proprietor of the Cable mill, dis
covered the body of stranger in the
Blue Earth river near his building. The
corpse had been in the water several
days Whether the matter can be eX-
planned on the suicide theory or it look
ed like a murder, remains to be seen.
The body appeared to be that of mid
dleaged man, and was dressed in a
black shirt and blue overalls Coroner
Kennedy has been notified and is look
ing into the affair.
Coroner Kennedy and a number of
people from Good Thunder examined the
body this morning All thought the de-
ceased was between fifty and sixty years
old. No one knew whose body it was
that was found and there seemed no
clue to his identity. There were found
in his pocket two slips of paper, on
patrick and on the other "John Will
son, Lake Crystal" There was also
found in one pocket a common look
ing purse, with twenty cents. In the
coat pocket was a paint color card and
part of Scandinavian newspaper.
There were bad bruises about the
body. These made the case look rather
like one of murder.
The body was five feet three inches
in length, and was clad i'm dark coat
and pair of overalls. There was
white beard but no mustache The head
was bald. The body, though short, was
very heavy set
The corpse was removed to an under
taking establishment at Good Thunder.

OWATONNA MAN SUICIDES.
3. S. Cook, One Of the Prominent Men
Of that City.

From Fridays Daily.
b. S. Cook, one of the most prominent
and influential business men of Ovation
ma committed suicide yesterday morn
ing The affair took place in his barn
at his home, corner of Elm and Mill
streets, he shooting himself through the
head with a target rifle. The deed was
done early Thursday morning before the
family had arisen. Death must have
been instantaneous. His family did not
learn of the deed until his daughter,
Mrs. Isabel knoblock discovered her
father lying dead in the carriage room
of the barn Coroner Adair was call
ed and decided an inquest was UNI
necessary. The reason for his act OF
self destruction is unknown. The re-
cent spell of hot weather must have
unbalanced his mind.
S. B. Cook was a native of Pennsyl-
vania. In the early pioneer days, Mr.
Cook came westward and was numbered
among the early settlers of Mantor-
vile. Dodge county. where he was en-
gagged in the mercantile business for
many years. He became interested in
the street railway of st. Paul, Mimi,
and for several years was in control of
the streetca r system in the capitol city.
Mr. Cook and family came to Owatonna
in the late seventies and since that time
made their home in that city.
Mr.. Cook was man of strict bust
ness integrity. A man of high ner-
vous temperament. he was untiring and
devoted himself closely to business. As
result he became wealthy and made
a success of everything he undertook in
life Mr.. Cook was independent, fearless,
and at times impulsive. But those who
knew him best bear testimony to his
absolute honesty and faithfulness to his
convictions.
Hon. b. S. Cook was one of the best
known and most prominent democrats
of Minnesota. In state politics he was
prominent for years, once standing as
candidate of his party for state treas
urer. He served on the state democratic
committee I'm 1881. Mr.. Cook was
elected mayor of Owatonna and again
in 1882 was given an endorsement by a
reelection. He was appointed member
of the local board of control of the Min
nesota state public school for dependent
and neglected children by Governor
John Lind. He was re-appointed to the
same position by Governor John A.
Johnson last January.
