FAMILY was most anxious TO keep the
circumstances OF his death out OF the
newspapers. There was a suspicion
that he had died by his own hand.

day, the second week Of the Rosebud

point of attendance than was the first
week. The fine reports sent out
from each town in regard to the ac--

their affect and many timid ones,
frightened by the history of previous
openings, have been reassured and
the result is an increased registration
The ratio of women to attend this
opening is also far larger than at any
previous one, and their welfare and
safety has been the one chief concern
of the citizens not only of Gregory
