'edict that no marriage should be
solemnized during the vars then
raging about the capital and when
the priest Valentine resumed the

center Of the old worlds learning
spread the spirit Of love making and
the seeking OF congenIal life partners
which has made ST Valentines day
one Of Ss5 80 thoroughly enjoyed in
this country. Although changes have
come in the passing OF the centuries
when this day was distinctly day
OF choosing mates and love making
there Is stir an influence which has
been given to It by the many sener-
ations Of young lovers who have
made the day their own.
A pleasant and favorite custom in
vogue 100 years ago was the placing
OF the names of All unmarried wo-
men in a chosen community in box
and having the unmarried men of
that section draw one of the names
by chance on st. Valentines day.
The successful young woman was as
sured Of the attention and protection
of the drawer Of her name during
the ensuing year and many marriages
resulted from this plan.

that they must depend entirely upon

is an element of the Republican
party in Bluefeld who realize that
the city administration and the r.
publican party in Bmefeld are notone
and thesame. a few men use thapartv
organization to further their own
end and thus impose upon their
party. This was evidenced when a

Clinton, March 3.-rhat Mrs Irene
Dolph, the 17-year- old wife OF Fred
Dolph, of whose murder she is ac-
cused, informed her mother that her
husband was dead many hours before
the body was found and had engaged
the services of an attorney to defend
her prior to the discovery of the body,
were some of the sensational facts
brought to light by the coroner's in
quiry at the north side city hall. Mon
day afternoon. Evidence of IL char
acter most damaging to the youthful
defendant, accused of an atrocious
crime, developed in the inquisition.
Mrs. Nellie Goldsmith. mother of the
defendant, told story which placed
her daughter had come hurriedly to
her. in Joliet. ILL.,. last Saturday, and
had informed her that her husband
was dead, and she was in trouble. The
two women took the first train for
Clinton, reaching here curly Sunday
morning. The first thing that
Mrs. Dolph did when she reached
Clinton, was to secure the services of
+. l.. Holleran, presumably to defend
her in the murder trial which the au-
thorites believe she knew was COM
ing.
The intelligence that there was a
dead man in the little cottage on East
street came to the authorities thru this
attorney. engaged by Mrs. Dolph, wife
of the murdered man. MIR. Holloran
communicated with Sheriff Burke and

Several witnesses stated on the

if he left her; others telling how the
couple had quarreled at a gathering in
the Dolph house last Thursday night.
and Fred had threatened to leave. Thus
a complete network of circumstantial
evidence of the most accusatory
character was woven about the young
wife, who, however, was the most un-
concerned party in the court room
when the grewsome details OF the
finding of the dead man in the East

Cedar Rapids, March 3.-Dr. e. A
Kegley, chairman of the building and
grounds committee of Coe college, an
nounces that Andrew Carnegie has
agreed to increase by $1S,500 his $40
600 offer for a new science hall at the
college, making total of S63,50o.
Plans for the proposed structure
have been completed by Architect Ed
ward l.. Tilton of New York, and work
will be commenced within the next few
weeks and the building fully completed
before the beginning of the next school
year, September /, If possible. The
building will be located at the south
east corner of the campus.
DIR. Kegley explained that when Mr.
Carnegie made his first offer to APP
propriate $4,000 for the new sciences
hall it was on condition that Coe COLI
lege should raise an endowment OF
equal size. This was done. In fact
an endowment of more than $3OOOOO
has been raised by the college within
the past two years. Architect Tilton
was employed to plan the building and
at once was confronted with the fact
that $4,000 would not erect a building
commensurate with even the present
needs of the college. Careful estimates
were made as to the room that would
be required to accommodate the con-
stantly increasing number of students
few years later, and it was found
that such a building as would be re-
qured would cost not less than $63,5OO
Mr.. Carnegie was asked to Increase his
gift, which has been done.
President Smith in chapel yesterday
morning read to the students the letter
he had received from Mr.. Bertram
private secretary to Mr.. Carnegie, an
nouncing the increase in his gift, and
the news was greeted with enthusiastic
demonstration. The letter explains
that the increase is made only in con-
sideration of the immense endowment
fund raised by the college since Mr..
Carnegie was first approached to do
something towards a science hall; and
in closing it was stated that Mr.. Car
negies cashier had been instructed to
honor the drafts of the college author
tiles up to $63.500.
