PLAN BIG LUMBER COMBINE
Amount Involved 10 $500, 900, 900;
Those interested.

Chicago, July 22.-Twenty five men,,
who control the yellow pine lumber
market of the world, at the Annex dis
cussed the greatest lumber merger
ever planned. At meeting held in the
Auditorium hotel, Frederick E. Weyer-
hauser, the lumber king of America,
who has been designated the richest
man in the world, was the principal
factor. Capitalization at 100000, 600
was suggested. EsEs
The committee of twenty-five was
appointed two weeks ago at a general
meeting of the yellow pine manufac-
turers, held in St. Louis.
Conditions of the lumber trade and
the supplies of material were consid-
cred at the meeting, which was pre-
liminary to the convention of the
Northwestern Lumbermen's association,
which holds its tirst session today.
It was agreed that if the supply IL
not materially protected, slight adj
vance in raw and finished lumber may
be expected.
Forests which should be protected
from needless destruction are allowed
to be destroyed simply from non-inter-
ference either from the government or
owners" declared the; lnmbermen. "All
forests must be protected. cultivated
and nlatnred to the fullest, or the price
of lumber and building material will
go far beyond the ordinary purse"

STAGE FOLK IN BENEFIT
MOST ORIGINAL STUNT BOOKED
FOR COMFY ISLAND.
Might With the Stars at Orea inland"
Ii the Bill Prepared BY the The
atrlcai People.
Especial to The Free Press.l

New York, July 22.-What it is de-
clared will be the biggest and most
original theatrical benefit ever ar
ranged is scheduled for tonight at
Coney Island, when the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of tickets will witness pro-
duction called ga Night With the
Stars at Dreamland." Practically all
of the prominent theatrical folk now
in New York or vicinity will be seen
in costume at the big Dreamland ball
room, over the Atlantic. The pro-
ceeds will go to the Mothers Seaside
Rest, a home for the tired, i'll and
mothers and children of
the metropolis.
The program for the affair includes
dozens of big numbers, in which the
leading lights of the theatrical firma-
ment will shine. Then will come the
grand march, followed by ball which
will extend into the wee hours of the
morning. infatuated young women
will be afforded opportunities to dance
with matinee idols, and the fair fem
mime stars of the sage, heretofore wor-
shipped from afar by infatuated youths
land susceptible baldheads, will come
down to earth and the Dreamland ball
room and do terpsichorean stunts with
their admirers. Some of the shrewd
ones among the stage stars have de.
cided to charge all the traffic will bear
for the privilege of dance and it is
likely that the funds of the Mothers
Seaside Rest will be considerably SWELL
led thereby.
Several big theatrical benefits have
already been held this summer for the
benefit of the mothers and children of
New York. 1t is declared on what ap-
pears to be good authority that the
people of the stage, despite criticisms
sometimes leveled at them by the pro-
|fessionally pure, contribute far more
to the relief of the poor than people
of any other profession, numbers and
wealth considered

DIG FOR NEW STORM SEWER
Milwaukee Road Has Large Force
Of Men Ut Work.

- The Milwaukee, road has large
force of men excavating for the new
storm sewer to I be laid on Washing
ton street, under its tracks. The old
sewer, which is caved in, will be left
untouched SO far as repairs are con-
cerned, but an entirely new sewer of
cast iron thirty inch pipe is to be laid
and connected with the sewer east of
the tracks. It will have good fall
and will carry off all the storm water
that comes down, for it is much larger
than the old pipe that has caved in.
1t is thought that the work will be
completed tomorrow, as the road is
making haste and the pipe has ar.
rived. This will solve one of the prob
lens that the city has been con-
fronted with, and makes such over
flow as contaminated the city water
impossible in the future.

Senate AN oFFIcER7
He Was Pisced Under Arrest Early
This MornIno; Will Have His
Hearing on Aue.f.

Edward Branigan of Madison Lake
was arrested at about two o'clock
this morning while impersonating an
officer in the railroad yards and de-
tanning strangers, so it is claimed.
This charge was lodged against him,
and when arraigned in the police court
he entered plea of not guilty and
his trial was set for Aug. /, and he
was allowed to. go upon his own
recognizance in /. the sum of, 800.
Four men came to the police station
at about two O'Clock this morning
and said that a man claiming to be
a detective had detained them and
asked them how much money they had,
and had represented that he was
drawing 1925 a month as a railroad
detective, but that he made more than
that out of tips.
Officer Garberding accompanied the
men back to the yards, and found
Branigan in the act of OBTAINING an
other man, so it is claimed. He was
placed under arrest and was stripped
of detective badge and credentials
given him by the Webster Detective
agency of Indianapolis. He said that
he had paid dollar or two for his
detective outfit. He is said to have
had it for some time and made use
of it.
Branigan's father has been an inmate
of the ST. Peter insane asylum for
seventeen years, SO it is said.

EDITING TAFT'S SPEECH
FRANK 3. KELLOGG TO REVISE
THE DOCUMENT.
Famous "Tsust Buster" 10 to Go Over
That Part Relating 70 the Big
Combines.

Washington, July 22.-Frank Kellogg,
it is announced will remain with Judge
Taft until his speech of acceptance,
which he will deliver at Cincinnati next
week, is completed, win trim down the
speech and go over that part relating
to trust regulations very carefully.
Republican politicians are wondering
about the remarkable affinity existing
between Candidate Taft and Mr.. Kel.
logg. The republican national candi-
date has scarcely made an important
move since the Chicago convention
without consulting Mr.. Kellogg, and
this fact gives rise to the conjec-
ture that the Minnesota national
committeeman will be power in the
Taft administration. An official con-
nected with the department of JUS
tice said this morning.
81 think I can tell you why Taft
sends for Kellogg and confers with him
so often. Mr.. Kellogg is representing
President Roosevelt, who is, of course,
s4 q
intensely interested in every move
that is to be made in the national
campaign. President Roosevelt has
confidence in Mr. Kellogg's judgment
and to him, more than any other man.
not even excepting Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts,, does the president turn
for personal advice. In fact it may
be said that Frank Kellogg is the
private legal counsellor of President
Roosevelt.
snow the president cannot go to
Hot Springs, neither can Taft go to
Oyster Bay for conferences, but Mr.
Kellogg, as the personal representative
of the president, is the side counsellor
of Judge Taft, who is to follow the
line of the Roosevelt policies as closely
as possible"

ST. PETER STATE HOSPITAL.

There is connected with this hospi-
tai a training school for nurses, of
which the medical staff is the faculty;
the course of instruction being carried
out in a definite systematic manner,
with the aid of text books, lectures,
demonstrations and practical work. This
school exists not merely for instruction
in the rules and regulations of the hos
pital, and the duties of attendants in
the proper housekeeping of : the wards,
but for the, thorough teaching of all
that belongs to the art of nursing, so
that pupils graduating from this school
shall be able to do general sick and
surgical nursing, as well as the spec
ial work of caring for the insane.
Graduates of the Training School
of this Hospital have, and do, com
pete successfully with the graduates of
the large general hospitals, and their
special training fits them to do work
which the graduate of the general hos
pital cannot do. The course of train
ing extends over period of three
years, and consists of lectures, supple
mented by the study of text books and
practical instruction in all the details
of the care of the sick and insane.
Young women taking this course of
training receive an amount of culture,
independent of their training as nur-
ses, which will help to fit them for
any occupation they may choose to
take up after graduation, besides teach
ing them to be orderly, methodicaI and
accurate, and developing in them the
power of self control
Applicants must furnish evidence of
at least common school education;
should be between Is and 81 years of
age, and are expected to send a photo
graph with the application. A two
months term of probation is required
of all who enter the employ of the
Hospital, to test their fitness for the
work
Practitioners receive $500 during
the period of probation. Afterward
the wages are increased one dollar per
month until the undergraduate maxi
mum of $500 is reached. Graduates
may receive $50 per month. All en-
ployes receive board, lodging and laun-

ST. PETER BOY IS DROWNED
He Was Employed In Fayai Mine at
EvoIeth, Min.

Eveleth, July 22.-Luther G. Uhler,
a young man well known here, and
employed as shipping clerk at the
Fayal mine, was drowned while enjoy
ing canoe ride on Ely lake, two miles
away from this city. The young man
was in company with friend who
was swimming some distance out in
the lake when the accident occurred.
Uhler jumped into the canoe with the
purpose, apparently, of making his
way out to his friend. Being unac-
customed to the handling of canoe
the boat capsized. Uhler's cries for
help were in vain. His friend could
not come in time and saw the man
drown before his eyes. When he came
to the spot Uhler's body could be
seen lying on the bottom of the lake,
which was only three feet. deep at. that
place. The remains were shipped to
st. Peter, the home of the young man,
for burial.
