Eckert came here from Detroit about
a month ago with her two small chill
dren. Sunday her husband came and
is here now.
The husband today denied there

wife attempting to take her life, as
they never had any trouble. He said
she merely had spasm which was
caused by i'll health. He stated that

his wife had attempted suicide. He
further denied that his wife had taken
any strychnine although it had been

she had secured from physician in
Detroit. Mrs. Scott, mother of Mrs.
Eckert, also denied any attempt at SUI

By Pretty College Dean,
Judge Will Wed

Oberln, O., July 12-Following
year, President Henry Churchill King,
of Oberlin College, will tomorrow Of
ficiate at the wedding of Mrs. Cole
Fargo, 80, dean of the Academy for
Women of Oberlin, and Judge Albert
c. Shattuck, SIS, of Cincinnati.
Both the prospective bride and
groom lave tried to keep the coming
nuptials secret. The sudden depar-
ture of Judge Shattuck from Cincin-
natl on Saturday, however, let the
cat out of the bag, and 1t was soon
noised about that the jurist was on
his way to the altar by automobile.
The bridegroom has son in the
sophomore class at Oberlin College.
The father used to make flying trips
from Cincinnati to visit Albert G. Shat
tuck, Jr., to see that he was attending
to Latin and mathematics and obeying
the college regulations.
During one of the fatherly visits
the jurist was introduced to Mrs. Far
go, Dean of the Women's Department
of the college From mere acquaint-
ance the friendship ripened into love.
The JUICES trips from Cincinnati to
Oberlin ostensibly to see his son grew
more frequent. The Woman Dean
and the jurist were seen much in
each others company. This continued
the greater part of young Shattuck's
sophomore year. is was rumored.
Both the bride and groom have been
married before Mrs. Fargo's husband
died seven years ago and Judge Shat
tuck's first wife died two years ago.
The bride was graduated from Ober-
lin College in the Glass of 1898, and the
groom was member of the Glass of
1878.

freight Is paid on weights which in
cludes this moisture. making an extra
cost to the consumer, but at present
unavoidable. The mine owner suffers
equally with the consumers in that
these very circumstances react against
his product when comparing its cost
to the cost of competitive fuels. 1t
prevents the mining Of his product
ahead in any quantities for the reason
that it cannot be stored. owing to the
COATS propensities for air Stacking and
moisture evaporating. The briquetting
OF Ignite as It comes from the mines
is the real solution Of the difficulties,
both from the operators and dealers
point OF view and certainly would be
popular with the consumer. 1t is
claimed Of briquettes that they burn
with a higher temperature and with
less smoke than ordinary Ignite, be-
cause In the process OF manufacture a
certain per cent Of the moisture is ex-
tracted allowing better circulation Of
air and the combustion is more COM
plete and uniform. Being dry and hard
they should not absorb moisture or fan
to pieces in the FIRE. but should main
tain their original form under all con-
ditions. only shrinking In size as con-
sumed. The National Briquetting Co.,
capitalized at $1.5OO,OOO. has recently
acquired extensive properties. both In

near future . large plant will be erect

Of clay from which an unusual fne

featured. But this ID not by any means

Kenmare is situated 2s0 miles north

OF the Duluth Thief River Falls branch

middle Des Laos lake this beautiful
city Of $500 people is the center Of as
rich an agricultural district as can be
found in the northwest.
Nature has been exceptionally kind
in her distribution of the good things
at her command. There can be found
rich soil. inexhaustible mines of ex-
cellent Ignite coal. heavy strata of
clay for pottery and brick making, with
an unusual good water supply.
Kenmare has electric lights, water
works. a sewerage system, long dis

together with all the retail business
establishments necessary for a pros

hall Of pressed brick, involving cost
Of $4,000, is In course of construction.
A large brick manufacturing plant
is located at Kenmare, which turns out
pressed brick OF a high quality and
several Ignite coal mines are in opera
tisn and coal is supplied at from So to

Kenmare Is one OF the busiest rail-
road points in the northwest Of its

tering the state
Kenmare is proud of its school sys-
,tem which ranks with the best in the
state. The high school and equipment
cost approximately $4,000. st.sAgnes
parochial schools erected at a cost Of
$4,000 were recently completed and
win be ready to receive pupils in the
near future.
The territory tributary to Kenmare
is q rich loan soil Of q thickness vary
Ing from one to three feet. under which,
at depth OF from four to five feet is q
stratum OF blue clay. Small grains
yield bcuntifulIy, wheat averaging from
fourteen to thirty bushels per acre; flax
from fifteen to twenty-five bushels,
oats from forty to eighty bushels. HAY.
grasses and. millet give large yields.
Many Iowa and Minnesota people have
sold their farms at from $50 to $50 per
acre, and have purchased farms in the
Kenmare country at less than one
third the prices they obtained in the
older states. They are well pleased
with the change. raising much larger
crops on land that cost less.

Of six miles, and coal is supplied at
the extremely low price OF $3.50 per

livered in the city.
Water Of good quality is plentiful
ana can be found at depth OF from
fifty to 400 feet.
A chain Of three lakes. the Des Laos.
known as the upper, middle and lower
lakes lie in this valley. The upper
lake is nearly thirty -four miles long
reaching into Canada and is navigable
along its entire length for steamers and
other craft. Grain is shipped from the
upper end OF this lake to Kenmare and
coal and provisions shipped back on
the return trip. The middle lake lies
directly in front OF the city and is
about three and half miles long. To
the west OF Kenmare. distant about
fourteen miles, the foothills begin. In
Vulnerable small lakes stud that coun-
try and great numbers of wild ducks
make their breeding place there. Dur
ing the fall months thousands OF wild
ducks, geese and crane frequent these
hills and lakes making them hunt

also plentiful on the prairies and along
