FREE BEAUTY COUPON FOR Topeka
STATE JOURNAL READERS
Good Tomorrow for This Worlds Most
Famous Beauty Specialist r. >

An opportunity is now offered every
reader of this paper to consult the world
most famous beauty specialist, Harriet
Meta, of Paris London and Syracuse, alb
solutely free.
A little over three years ago there was
nothing known which in the judgment of
experts would actually remove wrinkles,
but at that time Mile. Meta made the i'm
portant discovery which has since made
her famous in two continents.
She demonstrated the great power of
her new process by taking her own
wrinkles out with it in three nights, after
face massage, masks, straps, steaming
pots, etc, had all failed, and today Mile.
Metals face is still free from wrinkles, her
cheeks full and plump and her skin and
compexion is a delight to behold. In fact
by many she is considered the most beau
tiful woman in all Paris.
Her remarkable discovery was brought
before the judges of the Paris Internal
tional Exposition and the Rome EXPOSE
ton Internationale for their investigation,
and in both instances they quickly award
ed her Gold Medals thereon. The French
government also honored her with a
patent on her new process, and patents
are now pending before the L. S. govern
ment at Washington.
London journals sent their Beauty Edit
reSses to investigate her methods and
their high Endorsements of her discover
les made her famous almost overnight, so
that she was eagerly sought after by
French countesSes and English ladies of
high title and rank. The Beauty Edit
ress of the London Onlooker wrote. An
interview with Mile. Meta left me per
suaded that here at last might be found
the secret to restore youth and beautv''

comment on their probable report.
Congressman Stevens, working in
conjunction with officers of the Min
nesota River improvement league,
Colonel Davidson, Mr.. Ralph and
others, will collect data which will
be sent to Washington. On these
statistics depend the report which
will be made to congress.
The impression was given out that
the board does not look on the
project very favorably, as the ter.
ritory Immediately affected is con-
sidered too small to warrant the
large government outlay. The men
behind the project, however, believe
that the board can be shown that
not only is the Minnesota valley af-
fected, but that the improvement
will give the Mississippi river a nav
igable channel at st. Paul and be-
low, and that industries which have
been undeveloped in Minnesota be-
cause of the high price of coal and
electric power will be stimulated so
greatly that the whole northwest
will benefit.
Colonel Skunk took the party of
engineers in a launch to the mouth
of the Minnesota river in the after
noon for a personal inspection of
the head waters.
At the close of the meeting Mr..
Currier made a few remarks. When
asked today for his opinion of the
convention he thought it a good
thing. A great many interesting
facts were brought out, but it was
such big project that it would
take time ITO accomplish results.

treatment of the president was par
excellence, and no city or municipality
has more reason to feel a greater
pride for the handsome manner in
which it received and entertained
it's distinguished guest and those
who came with him. Every detail
of the days program was well
thought out and they were attended
to in a way that reflects the great
est praise upon the committeeman.
There has been no friction, no petty
chickering's. Everything has worked
with a degree OF harmony that
surely must be pleasing to the gentle
men who have performed the duties
assigned them and the people as a
whole.
Mankato is delighted with the
presidents visit. Our citizenry is
pleased to have had him as their
guest, even though he was with us
for SO short time. But he was
here long enough for the people to
see and hear him. They listened to
opCCSh dhu uoCCu oiHSCiily Va
purpose and are convinced of the
strength of his convictions. They
have satisfied themselves that he
is not a trimmer, and that he is
not the man who attempts to win
applause by talking to the galleries.
He does not appeal to the passions
and prejudices of men. He is not
an agitator who would seek to in
fame the spirit of the mob. Above
all he is not demagogue, who
plays politics.
People like the man, they admire
the statesman and they hold in the
very highest respect the position
which is so ably filled by Mr.. Taft.
George William Curtis once said of
Abraham Lincoln: HE is not poll
tician, but statesman" The same
Characterization applies with equal
force to President Taft. He pos
sesses none of the fine arts of the poll
tician. He is frank, honest, cour-
ageous, dignified American gentle
man, who would rather be right
than win a place by any indirection.
He is worthy of the confidence of
the people. He is their man.

office and took Bergerson to the Of
fee of Commissioner Bates. Repre-
senting that he would secure $4,000
for Bergerson, which the latter
claimed for a mortgage on the mu-
nicipal building, Bessesen lured the
man to the court house.
Arrest Caused Little Alarm.
Bergerson's arrest caused little
alarm, as he was regarded as harm
less by the authorities. He was not
armed, but to guard against any
disturbance it was thought best to
take him into custody. The exami-
nation disposed of his case.
Drs. Foote and Hamilton and
Court Commissioner Bates started
the inquiry into Bergerson's mental
condition at once. Bergerson said
Colonel Roosevelt owed him 500 and
told the board of other imaginary
debts involving men of national
fame, totaling $4,000.
Bergerson said that when he col
lected that he had thousands of dol
lars coming to him from scores of
Minneapolis men. Gold mine schemes,
stocks and bonds had been bought
by Bergerson, according to the let.
ters, but no trace of any financial
transactions for more than $40 could
be found.
Would Kill Kings.
Bergerson said that when he col
lected the money he said he was
entitled to he intended to go to Eu.
rope and kill all the kings.
When questioned to what method
he intended to follow in killing
the president, he only replied:
Never mind; I'll do it."
Bergerson had been a well known
figure for many years. He formerly
visited the offices in the municipal
building trying to discount the mort.
gage he said he held on the build
ing.
Bergerson lived in the Niles hotel,
20 University avenue northeast. He
has been employed nights in the
Matson bakery, S26 Third avenue
northeast.

From Mondays Daily.
The six boys from West Mankato
who were up before Judge Comstock
last Saturday accused of raising a
disturbance were again in municipal
court this morning as the case had
been continued until today. After
short talk to the boys, Judge Com
stock thought it advisable to con-
tinue the case until next Saturday
when they were ordered to report.
1t is thought probable that. a formal
charge will be brought against them
to make them realize the offense
they are accused of and then make
them prove their innocence.
The case of Clarence Miller which
was continued until this morning,
came up before the court also.
Young Miller's record has not been
up to the standard this week, and
the judge gave him one more chance.
His case was continued until next
Saturday morning, when he will
again report. If his record is with
out stain he may be given a lenient
sentence, but if it is found that he
has been out one night, or done one
thing against his record, he will be
sent to Redwing.
