EVELYN NESBIT THAW IN MERRY MOOD.
SOON PARTED
Wealthy Politician Sued for SANDER
BY Former Mother-in Law.

Chicago, Feb. l2-The sequel to a
wedding tragedy that eliminated in a
minneapolis hotel one day after the
ceremony was performed, developed in
Chicago last week.
Frank Raimbault, wealthy politi-
| clan of forty years, married Julia King,
pretty, and but nineteen years of age.
1t was claimed that she was forced in
to marriage by her father, but whatever
it was, June and October did not get
along very well together and their trou-
BILE came as soon as they reached Min
neapolis on their wedding tour.
At hotel the bride threw her we'd
ding and engagement rings at her hus-
bands head, it is claimed. Then she
hurried back to Chicago aud sought a
divorce. She got it, and Raimbault's
pride was humbled. In order to demon
strate that he was not such bad fell
low as his former wife insisted, he con-
ceived the idea of giving party to
which all his wife's relatives, except
her mother, were invited. He hired a
hall and furnished beer and cigars.
The fatal mistake was in not sending
the eX-motber in-laW one of the neatly
engraved invitations, for when the mer-
rymaking was at its height police SER
geant appeared with a warrant for
Raimbaults arrest, sworn out by his eX-
mother in law, charging him with hav-
inc violated the Illinois statutes in mar
rying in less than year after divorce.
He was dragged to the station, but
soon furnished bonds, and returned to
the party. At midnight a supper was
served. and he received the sympathy
of all the women present, who went
away declaring that Julia made mis-
take in marrying him in the first place,
as she loved another, but Frank was
really good fellow.
AIls. King who was has sued him,
however, for $4,000 for Islander, and
now the residents of Irving Park are
divided into two factions.

GOOD NEWS FOR INSTITUTIONS
Shown That Continued Sessions Do
Not Conflict With Work of Regu-
lar County Summer Schools.

A special to The Minneapolis Journal,
in speaking of the continuous sessions
of the summer schools says:
The students and faculty at the Wi
mona normal school are delighted over
the report that there is likelihood of
the revival of the continuous session
plan. Continuous sessions at the time
they were held at the Winona and Man
kato normal schools in 1897 and 1898
received the unanimous support of all
educational interests in the state.
Moreover, it was found they did not
conflict i'll any way with the regular
county summer schools. At the time
summer school was held in Winona
with an attendance of la, while in the
regular normal summer term of twelve
weeks there was an enrolment of 233.
1t is argued for these summer terms
that they are distinctly helpful to the
rural school teachers, coming at the sea-
son of the year when they can best af-
ford to enter on regular normal school
work. They are a boon for self-sup-
porting teachers, giving them chance
to teach in the rural schools for from
five to six months in the winter and
enter the regular normal course in the
summer months.
The continuous sessions are also help.
full in securing better grade of teach
ers i'm the rural schools in view of the
fact that under them the graduatio
of students comes at different periods
of the year, and since the school year
in cities and villages continues for nine
months without break, normal gradua-
ates who complete their work after the
opening of the regular school year are
likely to engage in teaching in rural
schools temporarily.
Appreciation of the continuous ses-
sions was manifested very clearly by
the attendance at the Winona and Man
kato normal schools the two years this
opportunity was offered. In the Wi
mona school the enrolment the two
years of continuous sessions was LOSS,
while for the year preceding and the
year following it was only 735. at
Mankato the enrolment the two years
of continuous sessions was AIS, while
for the year preceding and the year
following it was only Sl7.
The board of municipal works has
decided to have analyses of the city
water made every six months. There
has been much trouble with vegetable
growth in the pipes, and while it is
harmless as affecting health, it gives
an unpleasant taste. An endeavor will
be made to get rid of this growth.

TO PREVENT LAND FRAUDS
Especial to The Free Press.l

Washington, Feb. Is. - President
Roosevelt today sent to congress a
message calling attention to what he
terms an urgent need of legislation af
fecting different phases of the public
land situation in the United States. He
advocates conservative coal and other
fuel resources on government lands,
urges the government control of west
ern public land pastures with system of
small grazing fees and asks an appro-
priation of half million dollars to aid
in detail and preventing of land frauds.
He contends for a system of the gov
eminent leasing its mineral lands and
for treating these fuel lands as public
utilities. The president points out that
it would have been better if some east
ern coal lands had been left under gov
eminent control and he suggests pro-
vision in the west against recurrence of
the conditions we deplore in the east.

FARMERS ELEVATOR.
Movement on Foot to Organize One
at Eimose.

Elmore, Feb. achievement is now
on foot to organize cooperative farm
ers' elevator company in this place. The
plan is to have as many farmers bind
themselves together so that they will
not sell any of their grain to any other
place than the farmers elevator and
then run it the same as the creamery
has been run at this place. They will
rent one of the elevators at this place
for this year if the required number of
signers can be secured, and then in the
course of a year or so will either build
or buy one of the elevators already
here. Funds will be secured from one
of the banks to start with and then all
of the farmers will sign an agreement
to come good for the money. Inis
scheme seems to meet the approval of
most of the farmers of this part of the
country, and although it has not been
submitted to very many as yet, it has
been endorsed by all who have had any
thing to do with it. The plan will,
without doubt, be a success and farmers
wilyl take hold of it with far more en-
ergy than they did the plan submitted
to them last year.

At a meeting of the creamery stock
holders yesterday, the idea of having
the local creamery bu yall the eggs that
the farmers produced the same as they
do the milk was discussed. The plan
was to have the farmers bring in their
eggs at the same time that they bring
the milk in the morning and this would
assure fresh eggs and they would thus
get the highest price in the market. The
idea has been passed up and will be
considered at some future time after
farmers have all talked the matter over
more thoroughly.

Effect Of Imagination.

When Sir Joseph Fayrer was with
his ship In the Bahamas he landed on
an island, left the boat on shore and
went inland exploring. Presently, to
his dismay, he saw the boat drifting
out to sea. He. rushed down to the
waters edge, Invested himself Of all
but some cotton underclothing and
plunged in. AS he swan something
appeared to seize his leg, and he re-
membered In an instant that the sea
swarmed with sharks. He nearly
sunk with horror, fully persuaded that
his leg was gone. But, mastering his
fear, he swan on to the boat. Then
he found that his alarm had been
caused by tape with which his under
clothing was tied below the knee. 1t
had come unfastened, and the sup
posed shark bite was only wet tape
winding and unwinding about his leg.

The Round Robin.

The 4'round robin" had it's origin sew
eral centuries ago in France.
It was used there by officers of the
army as a method of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the course of the
king or his ministers. BY signing in a
circular form the leaders of the move
ment could not be ascertained and
singled out for punishment
The first instance on record of the
use of this form of protest in the navy
occurred in 1925. at the instigation of
the Duke of Buckingham, the kings
favorite, an English fleet, under Ad-
miral Bennington, was dispatched to
Rochelle to assist in the coercion of the
Protestant subjects of Louis XIII. of
France But the English tars, in COM
mon with their fellow countrymen,
looked with favor upon the resistance
Of their coreligionists against the pros
elyting zeal Of the French king, and
they signed "round robin" express
ing their determination not to fire a
shot against them, and without wait
ing for reply they weighed anchor
and brought their ships back to Eng
land. The admiral, however, received
peremptory order to return to
Dieppe, whereupon the whole Of the
crews quilted the ships without fur

I once heard the distinguished Sen
ator Edmunds from Vermont, when he
he was a leader in the senate, tell this
story of his young days:
He was a student Of law and was
making his first visit in the city OF
Washington. OF course the supreme
court interested him greatly. The law
library was close at hand and was by
far the finest law library which the
young man had ever seen When he
was not listening in the courtroom, he
was apt to be reading in the library
One day he was sitting happy in an
alcove, reading in a black letter trea-

There entered from the courtroom
without observing him, two gentlemen
in earnest conversation. These were

Dr. a. w. Hewitt in his ANative
Tribes of Southeast Australia gives
an interesting account of those medi-

tors" The blackfellow relies upon the
supernatural for his effects, but he is
believed to be wholly sincere, as he
lives among people not yet civilized
to the point of understanding mature
fakir." DR.. Hewitt says of him: "He
is everywhere believed to have received
his dreaded power from some super
natural source or being, or from the
spirits OF ancestors. This power en-
abies him to inject diseases, as ii were.
into people at distance, as well as to
cure disease by striking at its secret
originator, who is usually rival medi-

can also preserve people from disease.
He works with charms, and individual
medicine men or groups Of them DOS

all cases the blackfellow doctor is
credited with being able to see men in
their incorporeal state, either tempo
rarily as a wrath or permanently sepa-
rated from their body as ghost, which
is invisible to other eyes. He can
ascend to ghostland beyond the sky or
can transport himself or be transport
