Gustavus Adolphus College.
From Fridays Daily.


Romances of undergraduate days at
Gustavus Adolphus college will come
to happy elimination this month,
when ten of the alumni will be mar
ried. A singular circumstance is That
the five bridegrooms who have been
bitten by the marriage microbe are
all members of the class of 1905. Since
they were graduated from the local
institution four of the young men have
completed the theological course at Au
gustana seminary, Rock Island, ILL.,,
and will be ordained as Swedish Luz
theran ministers next Sunday.
The fifth member of the quintet is

then. In tae morning he was gone
On Thursday he had exhibited bottle
and said in threatening manner that
he was going to drink from it. When
he was found to be gone, the family
feared that the bottle had contained
poison, and it was turned over to the
police, with an account of the disap-
pearance. The contents of the bottle
were analysed by physician, but
found to contain no poison. Reports
came later that Rosin was working
in New Ulm, and the family ceased
to worry about the matter.
When the body was found it was
feared at once that it was Rosin's, and
the sons were sent for and identified
the clothing When the body was
rolled upon rubber blanket to be
taken to the undertaking room of
Landkamer Bros & Davidson, the head
fell off. The flesh mad already fallen
off of the skull and hands.
Method of Suicide Mystery.
just what method Rosin employed
in committing suicide is not known
No weapon was found near him, nor
any DoJblc. he Hld nave uIOWHeu
himself, in which case he did so
when the river was, lower, and his
body was deposited where found by
the nigh water. 1t is possible that he
may have taken poison and gone into
the clump of bushes to die. Strength
is added to this theory from the
fact that his hat was found six feet
from the body.
Rosin was born in Germany and
would have been fifty years old next
October He had resided in Mankato
for twenty three years, and was en-
ployed at the cement works up to the
time of his disappearance. He leaves
a wife and four children and two
grandchildren, all living at home.
The members of the family say
that worry over his prosecution in
connection with the truancy of his
daughter caused him to take his own
life, in their opinion. Coroner Kennedy
decided that no inquest was needed.
Rosin did not belong to a church.
and the funeral services were held this
afternoon from the undertaking rooms,
the interment being made in the
German Lutheran cemetery.
Coroner Kennedy decided that an in
quest was unnecessary. He has made
out certificate of accidental drown
ing" He had no way of determining
that Resins death was due to his
own act.

posed interurban line. They looked
at it in a favorable light, and would
be glad to see the line built there.
Three routes are under consideration,
the one on the bluff in Nicollet county,
the so-called prairie road in the middle
of the Minnesota river valley, and the
Fletcher road Either one is feasible,
and the Nicollet county road would
do away with the necessity of bridg-
ing the Minnesota river to enter St.
Peter, although it would leave kasota
out. That one will be built there SOON
er or later seems certain.

an action tried this week in the dis

SOUTH MISSISSIPPI BONDS
Besides Jail Bonds Of Forrest County, Brook
haven and Culfport Have Sold Bonds at
Par for Improvement.

The firm of John Nuveen & Co.,
of Chicago, which recently bought the
Jail bond issue of Forrest County
seems to be largely engaged in buying
Mississippi bond issues.
This firm has recently bought a
bond issue of the city of Brookhaven to
the amount of $4,000, which has been
issued for municipal improvements.
The same company has recently pur-
chased $125,O00 worth of Gulfport
bonds. bearing s IL per cent interest.
All were sold at par.
All of these bond issues are for i'm
provements in South Mississippi and
this is clear demonstration that
confidence is returning in large de-
gree for 1t is certain that neither cities
or counties would involve themselves
by bond issue If the people there
of did not feel that the outlook was
improving continuously and that nor
NAL business conditions would soon
obtain.
People in other sections of the
country will see from these bond is
sues that South Mississippi is still
improving and will continue to make
great progress.
Some seem to think that South Mis-
sissippi received the greatest blow of
any other section of the country dur

pear so was the fact that this section
was enjoying unparalleled prosperity
when the trouble came, and public
improvements stopped to a certain
extent. Where no prosperity existed,
there was nothing for the panic to stop
and, therefore, its effect was not Wis
