From Tuesdays Daily.
Mrs. Caroline Weight, an old lady sew
enty three years old, committed suicide
this afternoon in Mankato township.
four miles southeast of the city. She
was living with ner son-in-la law, William
F. Seefeldt, and left the house at eight
o'clock this morning to look for some
goslings. She met her son-in law, who
was cultivating corn near the house,
and then disappeared. She had not been
gone long before her daughter made in
quiries of her whereabouts and search
was made for her.
Mr.. Seefeld't brother lives near and
his hired man saw Mrs. Weight going
toward her old home, now unoccupied.
Search was made there for her, by the
hired man and two nightbors, and ner
body was found in the WELL The planks
that covered it had been turned up and
Mrs. Weight had evidently let herself
down into, the water. She was gotten
out and was still limp. This was at
ten o'clock.
Coroner Kennedy was at once sum-
moned, and after making inquiries de-
cided that no inquest is necessary.
Mrs. Weights husband Fred Weight,
died three years ago. Her health has
been good, but she has worried over the
state of health of another daughter, who
is bedridden, and this may have proved
upon her mind to such an extent as to
temporarily unsettle her reason. $50
Mrs. Weight was well liked by those
who knew ner. She was very pleasant,
and her death causes great sorrow. She
leaves three children.

M'GREGOR ALIAS BUCK.
Defaulter Still In Isle of Pines, Accord
ing to Newspaper Ad.

from Friday Daily.
Some one sent us copy of the Isles
of Pines Appeal, published at Santa Fe,
Isle of Pines, Cuba, dated June l2tn.
We find in it a large advertisement of
the American Hotel said to be owned
by D. w. McGregor and George C..
Gould, and is located at Nueva Corona,
on the same island On the first page,
we read the following among the local
items of the same place: Last Sun
days boat brought sad news for a
number of residents here, viz: the death
of d. W. McGregor's father etc. We
are not in the Sherlock Holmes bust
ness, and so cannot vouch for the ac-
curacy of our information or surmis
ings. But it is said that when A. A.
Buck, the defaulting officer of tne To-
cal state bank, went to Honolulu, he
took the name of "McGregor" And the
item just quoted seems to refer to the
death of his father, the late Judge
Buck, who passed away May 2lst, at

Will Drive Piles.

From Mondays Daily.
The result of the examination of the
ground where the Lamm & Landkam-

to a decision to put down poles. A
great many will be put down at the
rear end of the lot, but only few will
be put down in front. Work will begin
soon. The dirt that will have to be ex-
cavated will just about equal the fill.

The amount of butter in cold stor-
age is much less than it was at. the
same time year ago. 1t is estimated
that on June |, 1904, there were 5000
900 pounds of butter in cold storage in
the leading cities of the country, com
pared with 100000 June /, 1905. This
is a difference of 100000 pounds, and
it is likely to have decisive effect on
the butter market. e9..r

STATES BUTTER CROP.
Dairy Department Estimates Output
for Year at IS, 900, 900 Pounds.

From Fridays Daily.
Officials of the state dairy and food
commission estimate that the produc-
ton of butter in Minnesota this year
will aggregate S5,OOO,OOO pounds, com
pared with 100000 last year. Re
ports are received daily by the commits
sion of large increases in the output of
the creameries which, considered to-
gether with the product of the creamer-
les established this year, it is thought
will swell the product to more than So
100000
The plentiful rains since early spring
are given as the cause for the probable
increase in production 1t is reported
that pastures have never been better in
the history of the state. The grass, be
sides being plentiful, is of an extraor-
dinarily rich quality, and it is = having a
decided effect on the quality of the but

Reports received by the commission
yesterday are that the receipts of but
ter last week at New York, Chicago and
Boston were 445,l63 pounds, as compar-
ed with 3S0,S49 pounds the correspond
ing week in 1904. The receipts\ of milk
at many Minnesota creameries have
doubled in the last two weeks, and it
is thought that the output of butter
in Minnesota will show an increase
equal to that shown in New York, Chi

VIM More Speed?

RAILROAD wrecks occur SO frequently nowadays
that they cause little comment Not week passes
but what hundreds have been either killed injured
These little incidents appear to be looked upon with
the same equanimity as the South American looks
upon revolution.
The most tragical sin Of this age should not be
considered comedy because of the apathy Of the
people, The death list from railroad wrecks is
steadily increasing. And this increase appears to
sound no warning note. Human life should be held
at a higher valuation than it is. But it seems that
life is of no Importance that time is everything.
AS soon as the people begin to realize the great
dangers to which they are subjected they going
to demand sweeping changes. Those who are de-
handing greater efficiency in speed are encouraging
this slaughter. What is wanted is less speed, not
more. We do not desire respondent Europeans to
visit this country for the purpose of committing sui
eide by riding in one Of our railroad cars That
would be disgrace from which this country could
never free itself Speed! We are being carried to
eternity very willingly, for when purchase ticket
we do not know what our destination may be within
the next twenty four hours.

Useless Instruction.

WE HAVE been asked to point out how man
can succeed leaving this institution and to emu
merate from time to time the opportunities which
might be available to man of limited capital. This
is task which we cannot approach with any degree
of certainty. There few golden opportunities
within the reach of the who is penniless and
who is without gilt-edged testimonial. There may
be many opportunities but never heard of anyone
getting buried beneath them The man who leaves
place of this kind must first establish reputation
If he is without friends, without money, and without
good measure of Anglo Saxon nerve, he must start
in humble capacity and gradually work himself
upwards
The rise of Mr.. Frank Hedley from a poor
immigrant to that of general manager OF the new
subway in New York City, was due to the pains

portunity and qualified himself in order to handle it
in an intelligent manner There is no question but
what thousands of young we're assiduously scan
ming the horizon for an opportunity to get to the
front while Mr. Hedley was sweating in. the Erie

the days work was over he walked long distance in

After four years of interchangeable toll he mas

Electricity coming into vogue and he spent five
years. after working hours in familiarizing himself
with the science of electricity hiring private tutor
to assist him. We point out the rise of Mr.. Hedley
as mere illustration. Today his salary is $4,000
year. It is impossible for to point out opportu-
mites whereby man leaving here can, on the second
day of his discharge, meet healthy opportunity
which will realize him fifty thousand dollars year
When we do observe such opportunity shall
