but as the company started negotia-
tions first with the Glenwood cemetery
association, through the influence of Mr.
Fowler it has decided to erect the
first one in the state in Mankato, H.
be used as a model. This will mean
that people from all over the state will
come to Mankato to see it.
The 200 crypts which the mausoleum
will contain will sell for 1925 each. and
there will be no other expense to the
buyers, as the company places 81 900 to
the credit of keep up fund, which
will probably not have to be touched
for half n century or century, hut
which will be drawing interest right
along.
Work on the building will begin as
son as all the crypts have been sold
and the building will cost $4,000 to
$4,000. 1t can be easily enlarged when
there is need for this. Local help will
be secured, and local material used as
far as possible, and the work will be
completed as speedily as possible.
Where Mausoleums Have Been Erected
Among the cities. where the Iowa
Mansoleum company has erected mauso-
leums are Harlan, Iowa, a city of 5000
TO 5000 population, 225 crypt mauso-
leum; Waterloo, Iowa, 300 crypt
mausoleum, now under construction ;
Des Moines, Iowa, 1000 crypt build
ing and $50 crypt building now under
construction, the crypts selling for $3.50
each; Kankakee, ILL.,, 440 crypt build
ing; Detroit, Mich 1000 crypt build
ing costing 100000; Oscaloosa, Iowa,
a building with $50 crypts, costing $3.50
each. The average price of crypts is
$50 each, but it was decided to make
a special price in Mankato, for the
first mausoleum to be erected in the
state
The building will be wired for electric
lights. The drainage and sanitary ar
rangements are efficient, each crypt be-
ing ventilated and drained into ves-
sci holding quicklme.
Mr. Fowler states that Dr. K. c..
Harrington is the best informed man in
the state on mausoleums, and is much
interested in the one to be erected at
GlenwOod cemetery.

She Could Rightfully Lay Claim to
Being Mans Best Friend.

+. X. Slater, secretary of the Ma
tiona Dairy Union, writes this trb-
ute to the COW:
The dairy COW, is able to express
herself in way which the human
family would comprehend, might well
lay claim to being mans best friend
She might establish such claim by
calling attention to the fact that from
her product and from her carcass man
manufactures more Of the necessities
of life than from any other similar
source. She furnishes these necessities
to him from infancy until such a time
as temporal things are no longer as
sOciated with his existence, and she
does it ungrudgingly and constantly.
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity Of an agricultural community is
more closely identified with her than
with any other of the domestic animals.
The horse is quite essential in tilling
the SOIL but where necessity requires
it the sturdy son of the COW takes
his place, as he has done in every
agricultural section on earth
The horse can only furnish labor
and can only return profit to his
owner when conditions are right for
returning satisfactory grain crops. 1t
is a well known fact that the dairy
COW is the salvation OF the farmer in
times OF poor crops as she is able
to convert the rough crops which are
never total failure, into dairy prod
ucts which always have cash value
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and buttermilk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which farm
becomes less valuable each year and
the whole country less prosperous. The
elimination of the dairy COW would
necessitate an almost revolutionary re-
adjustment of mans tastes and re-
quirements. 1t would mean untold SUI
fering and hardship. Of course she will
not be dispensed with, but her value
can perhaps best be appreciated by
contemplating such Il loss. She will
continue to be mans best friend as
long as the human family exists and
will keep on supplying him with his
greatest needs just as she has done
through all tho ages.

some half dozen hats which formed
part of her dutiable baggage.
But editors and ladies who revel in
descriptions of lingerie and laces never
yet have fathomed or exploited the
cost of costumes worn by the circus
rider who appears with the big show.
Costume Valued at $1,000.
An instance of this may be cited
when the statement is made that one
of the costumes worn by Miss Dallie
Julian, premier horsewoman of the
SeIls-Floto show, was exhibited at the
recent exposition of the modistes in
Madison Square, New York, the modest
valuation of $500 being placed there
on.
There is reason for this, apart from
nave never been noted for the reck-
less manner in which they spend mon.
ey for professional clothes. But apart
from this it must be remembered that
the e1uestrienne's apparel is usually
displayed in broad daylight and must
necessarily retain its freshness; the
slightest sign of wear being sufficient
to condemn it.
All Wear Expensive Costumes.
The costumes carried by any of these
high priced ladies of the sawdust ring
would, from a comparative stand point,
make the wardrobe of any stage fav-
oritc look cheap. 1t is well epough
for those who preside over the fashion
columns of the average newspaper to
rave about the amounts paid by soci-
ETY. buds and footlieht favorites to
their dressmakcrs, but when you come
to count real money in this connection
You must award the palm of unique
extravaganza to the girl who smiles
graciously when the clown asks, as he
has been asking since time began
what will the little lady have, the
hoops or the banners?"

MISS DALLIE JULIAN WEARS
GOWNS COSTING $1,000.

A great many people who read the
dramatic columns of the daily papers
and magazines, together with the fash

public each Sunday morning, have an
idea perhaps that Miss Lillian Russell
is the best dressed woman in public
life today.
Of course, we remember that last

FORMER VISITED ERNEST AT THE
JAIL YESTERDAY.
From Saturdays Daily.


Events in the case of Ernest Mem
ton took a new turn yesterday, ac-
cOrding to information gathered by
a Free Press reporter this morning.
Mention, it will be remembered, is now
serving a siXty-day term in the
county Jail. He pleaded guilty to the
charge against him and was sentenced
early in July by Judge Pau. The
case is familiar to Free Press readers
and needs no reviewing here.
1t seems that Mr.. Ruebeck, father
of the girl with whom Mention is al
legged to have eloped and one of the
parties most active in the prosecution
of that individual visited the prisoner
yesterday According to Mention and
his witnesses, he showed a complete
change of heart and appeared to re-
greet his part in the trial.
Mention Declines the Aid.
1t is claimed that Ruebeck offered
to do all in his power to have Mention
visit at his home. This last was re-
fused by Mention, who added that he
had already served about half his
time and was willing to serve the re-
mainder. He informed Ruebeck that
he would accept none of his help and
warned Ruebeck to keep out of mis-
way.
1t is also claimed that Ruebeck
said that if he chad known the
straight of things" he would never
have prosecuted Mention.

Press by Mention

Time Is Given Boys.
D. G.. WILLARD HAS OBTAINED A
RESTRAINING ORDER.

d. G. Willard has started an in
junction suit against the management
of st. Joseph's hospital to restrain
it from building a ten or twelve foot
fence between its property and his
residence property on North Fifth
street, and moving a barn opposite
his sitting room window. A tempo
rary restraining order has been grant
ed by the court and the order to show
cause is returnable Sept. ). While
the work of building The fence has not
been begun.
The sister superior declined to talk
on the subject when called up by The
Free Press this afternoon.
Mrs. Wizards Statement.
Mrs. Willard courteously replied to
the questions asked her, and said that
as she looked at it the fence was pro-
posed because of complaints that she
had made about the condition of the
hospital barnyard and other things
that she did not think Injured to
health. She did not enjoy the pros
pect of the barn being moved opposite
her sitting room window, or the fence
being extended to the street, thus
shutting off her view. She considered
it spite work"
May Adjust the Matter.
1t appears that the Wizards would
not have much objection to the fence
in case it was not extended to the
sidewalk and did not cut off their
view in this manner. 1t is said that
there are prospects of the matter be-
ing adjusted before the time set for
the hearing, and it is to be hoped
that this will be done. The Sisters
are doing n noble work, and their
neiehbors have rights that they cher
ish and it would seem that an add
justment might be arranged.

COMMITTEE DID NOT APPEAR:
r. CORNELL RESPONDED.

St Cloud July 26.-Thc Times pub
fishes this story: That it was neces
sary for a brewer to act as the recep
tion committee for Carrie Nation yes
terday was one of the amusing Incl
dents of her visit to this city. Among
the people who went to the park yes
terday were some of the lady members
of the family of Mr.. John r. Cornell,
vice president of the Preiss and VIM
mer Brewing company. Mr.. Cornell
returned to the Grand Central Hotel
to buy cigar. As he stopped at the
curb TO mitch his horse a bell boy came
ont and iocularly said 10 the brewer:
Committee Did Not Appear.
Carrie is inside and is waiting for
YOU" Cornell replied: SIS that so?"
and went in and bought a cigar at
the desk. The clerk said that Mrs.
Nation had been anXiOusly inquiring
for simebody TO get TO the park. She
evidently expected reception com
mittee to appear but was beginning
asked when the next street car would
90 TO the park. Then those about the
desk dared Cornell to take her down.
Going over to Mrs. Nation he said:
iii take you 20 the park if You
wish"
Are you the reception committee"
asked Carrie.
NO" said Cornell, "but they told
me You were anxious TO start, and I'll
take YOU"
SO she called for her grip and Mr..
Cornell escorted her to his carriage.
As they got outside, Mrs. Nation said
10 him:
Gave Her the Cigar.
81 wish you would give me that
cigar pointing to the havana that
the brewer had Just lighted.
Certainly" said Cornell remember
ing his gallantry.
Now | am going to bless you with
this cigar said Carrie and suiting
the action to her words crushed the
fragrant weed under her masculine
heel on the stone pavement.
Then she produced a big hatcnet and
decorated Cornell.

asked for a Ratchet and she pinned
one on him.

Escorted Mrs. Nation to Platform.

Arriving at the Park he saw that
she could not carry her grip and get
through the crush, so he asked her to
wait while he tied his horse and then
taking her grip escorted her to take
platform. 1t is needless to say that
the appearance Of the brewer decorated
with a Ratchet, carrying Carrie Ma
tons grip and escorting her to the
platform created sensation. The
crowd caught on in a minute cheering
and shouting Justify. Doubtless Carrie
thought she was getting an enthusi.
astic reception. Whether she discover.

known.
