In suitry August, dresses made of

Linen suits have a way of showing an
ugly little rust mark on the top of the
shoulders. Did you ever look inside for

story i'm a nutshell-from the coat

Of use.
Coathangers should always be covered
before they are used for white or deli
cate colored things. Little bags Of silk
or linen dimity can be drawn over the
long sides and held in place by narrow
ribbons, tied into pretty bows And
then. even If the weather is damn
enough TO make everything rust, the
brunt OF il won't come upon your very

Pouched bodices are seldom seen now
This is probably due to the close-fit-

marked difference being in the deeI

PARDELLO AND ROONEY.
They Furnish Much Excitement for q
Bio Crowd.

Chicago, March 5.-Leo Pardello OF
New York furnished a sensational eli
max to the wrestling show at Tatersals
Saturday night by throwing John j
Rooney, the "Giant Gripman," out OF
the ring in the final tussel and thereby
losing the contest on foul. Each hao
won fall when the foul was committed
Seven thousand witnessed the show
the crowd being about as large as once
attended the boxing entertainments held
there. The spectators got more than
the usual amount of excitement for their
money, for outside of the mauling Room
ey and Pardello gave one another, the
latter started the affair with his body
and hair creased and the first bout had
to be stopped while the Italian was
washed
The preliminary wrestling match had
spectacular finish. William Demetral
the Greek Demon" and Anders Ander-
son were opposed and the latter won the
first fall in little over eight minutes
Demetral violated the Greece Roman
rules in the second fall by grabbing the
Swede about the knees and the bout was
awarded to Anderson.
1t was then announced that Demetral
had told Referee Siler before the second
bout began that he could not throw his
opponent and intended to foul him
Delnetral tried to explain to the crowd
and was Missed down. The Rooney Par
dello contest was about as fast as q
boxing bout and the crowd warmed NJ
to it in hurry.

NEW RECEIVER IS NAMED
s. F. Donaldson Succeeds Lyman J
Baird at FarihauIt.

Washington, March 3.-The move
ment to secure reduction in the ex-
pense of the receivership of the First
National bank of Faribault has been sue
cessful. Lyman j. Baird, the present re-
ceiver, has resigned, to take effect
March 7, and S. F. Donaldson of Fari-
bault, former deputy county auditor,
and also connected with the Security
bank will succeed him. Baird was get
ting $4,000 year, and had clerk to as
sist him, who was being paid $1,000 a
year. Donaldson will get $1,000, and
will furnish his own clerical assistance,
effecting net saving of $4,000 year.
The campaign for this reduction was
begun some time ago by a committee OF
depositors, who have had the active
cooperation of Senator Nelson and Rep
resentative Davis. Baird still holds his
commission as national bank examiner.
but has no district, and it is not likely
that he will be assigned to any, so that
he now is practically out of the govern
ment service.

WILL HOLD OFF AWHILE.


st. Paul, March chairman Conde
Hamlin of the republican state central
committee, who has just returned from
an extended eastern trip, has given it
out that he does not propose to call the
committee together early unless the
committee impress it on him.
This means the end of the early con-
vention idea.
The advocates of some of the active
gubernatorial candidates had hoped
that an early convention might be held
and the nomination cinched before the
opposition could develop.
But this, in the opinion of Chairman
Hamlin and some of his advisers, is
just what Secretary Frank Day of the
governors office, chairman of the dem
ocratic state central committee, would
like.
With an early republican convention,
and the ticket made up Day, with the
assistance of Insurance Commissioner
O'Brien, L. A. Rosing, Governor johnson
and few more, could make up the
ticket which the democratic convention
would nominate, and it would be made
up with an especial view to the weak
nesses, real or supposed, which might
have developed in the ticket nominated
by an early republican convention.
Under the plan as at present held by
Chairman Hamlin and his friends, the
republicans will hold their convention so
close upon the democratic convention
that there will be no chance for "jockey-
ing in either, and as the primaries will
be held almost simultaneously for both,
there can be but little mixing in the
caucuses.

TREAsURER'S REPORT.
Enough Money on Hand to Gerry City
Until March SettIem ent.

rTOIIl MOHudy Ddlly.
The report of City Treasurer Bennett
for February was presented to the coun-
ell last night. The receipts amounted
to $4,447.S7, of which ST 200 was from
Rev. A. +. Winter as payment on the
North Fourth street property bought
for the location of the new hospital ST.
600 was from a liquor license, $l2l.SS
was from municipal court fines and fees,
$l,5l5.l3 was from local Improvements,
and $6lOS6 was from water rents, etc.
The amount paid out during the
month in city orders was $l2,335.54,
leaving net balance on hand March
lst of $l0,S59.7S. Il This looks better on
paper than it really is, as it, includes the
certificates of deposit of the water
works fund, which about equal the net
balance. However, the condition of the
treasury now is better than it was a
year ago, and the March settlement will
bring in some money before the next
meeting of the council. The bills before
the council last night were unusually
light. III

almost entirely without warning, though
he had been complaining of headache
His body was found lying on the kitchen
floor by Mr.. and Mrs. McCoffrey when
they returned from church. 1t seems
that he was seiged with fatal stroke
and fell just as he was in the act OF
walking over to the kitchen faucet, pre-
sumably to take drink.

SEEKS LOST UNCLES.
Governor johnson Looking Up Where
abouts OF Mothers Brothers.

st. Paul, March 5.-Governor johnson
and his family have started an inquiry
at Aurora, ILL.,, to find Andrew and John
MADDEN, uncles of the governor. Mrs.
L. johnson, the governors mother, was
separated from her brothers in 1851,
when they were children, and has heard
nothing from them. She is now lying ill
at st. Peter, and is anxious to get
track of her brothers if they are still
alive. As near as she knows they went
to live with families near Aurora, and
there the search Is being made.
Mrs. Johnson's maiden name was Car
oline MADDEN. Her parents brought
her and the two sons from Sweden in
1851, and they settled in Chicago, where
both parents were suddenly taken off
by the cholera epidemic. Left without
guardians, the children were separated
Caroline went with friends to st. Paul
anu ldlcT 10 OF. IeIeF, where she WAS
married. Not long after the separation
she learned that both brothers had been
adopted, Andrew by an English family
in or near Aurora, and John by Scotch
family in Geneva, twelve miles north
The names of these families were never
learned, so nothing could be told as to the
names the brothers were given. She
heard nothing more of them. To crafty
the mothers desire, Miss Hattie o. John
son has written the Aurora authorities
asking to have attorneys take up the
inquiry and find the brothers. The quest
has been started and a happy reunion
of the family is possible. Governor
Johnson says it would be great pleas
ure to his mother, and he is hoping fol
some results from the inquiry.

Never in the history of the local
Young Mems Christian association
has contest for members aroused so
gf4at an interest as has the present
one which closed last night. As the hour
drew near for the closing of the con-
tract the struggle for leadership grew
more and more fierce. AT nine o'clock
Secretary Gran was at the clocks for
the final recording of the points after
heFhad been kept busy for over half an
hour receiving new membership appli-
cations. The Rabe-Snow squad and the
Witter-Dietz squad had changed about
as leader eight or nine times in the last
few days and the finish last night was
almost heartbreaking. The sweat stood
out on the brows of half dozen men
who have put all their effort into the
fight the last week. When the smoke
of battle cleared away the clocks read
as follows: Witter- Dietz ninety eight
points; the Rabe-Snow squad lOS; and
the Liedlof- Willard squad twelve points.
