FAMILY IS UNLUCKY
Steams County Household Vie-
Tims of Accidents.
Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Minn., Nov. 20. —A pe
culiar run of ill luck seems to attend
the family of Knute Botten, living in
southwestern Steams county. The
latest accident was the falling of his
two-year-old child from a table and
dislocating its left forearm. A short
time ago two other children were bad
ly injured and their faces scarred up
by a kicking horse. Still another fell
from a wagon, Jireaking his arm at the
elbow. In addition to all this trouble
his little girl set fire to the barn, while
little Willie was distinguished by hav
ing two thumbs growing from one
hand.
LITTLE GIRL DANCES
INTO TROUBLE
Maria's Love of Music Leads Her For
From Home.
NEW YORK, Nov. 20.—Maria is the
ten-year-old daughter of Paola Loren
ti, an Italian barber at 53 East Fourth
street, and is the second In a brood
of seven. Friday evening she was left
to help her eldest sister, Cecilia, in
looking after the smaller fry while the
barber and his spouse went visiting
In Mulberry street.
The younger Lorentis had been
tucked away for the night, sister Ce
cilia was napping in the sole Lorenti
rocker, and Maria was trying to amuse
herself alone, when there rose from
the street the notes of a giddy waltz
reeled off by a hand organ.
Now, if there are two things that
Maria is fond of they are music and
dancing. For a while she listened, her
feet Instinctively keeping time; then
she looked at her sleeping brothers and
Bisters, and thought that it would be
no harm to slip down to the street and
have just one little dance.
She tiptoed out of the room and,
once in the street, joined the little
group of girls that were already glid
ing and pirouetting through the mazes
of one of those mysterious impromptu
dances of the street child —dances that
are not taught in any book or school,
yet where each dancer seems instinc
tively to know what particular twirl
or kick comes next.
The coppers ceased falling in the or
gan grinder's hat, and he moved along
a half block. So did his little train
of dancers, and Maria with them. And
in his next, and his next, and his next
move, Maria followed. Flushed, her
eyes sparkling, carried far away from
her tenement surroundings by the
swing and rhythm of the music, she for
got her charges at home, overlooked
the fact that she no longer knew the
faces of the children she was dancing
■with, nor the name over the corner sa
loon or over the grocery opposite.
"Hey, youse, yer playin' after hours!
Cut it out or I'll run ye in!" came from
a big, blue-coated minion of the law.
HOME TESTING.
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.
To decide the all important question
of coffee, whether or not it is really
the hidden cause of your physical ails
and approaching fixed disease, one
should make a test of ten days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
■well made Postum Coffee.
If relief follows you may know to
a certainty that coffee has been your
vicious and killing enemy. Of course
you can take It back to your heart
again if you like to keep sick.
A lady says: "I had suffered with
Btcmach trouble, nervousness and ter
rible sick headaches ever since I was
a little child for my people were al
ways great coffee drinkers and let us
children have all we wanted. I got
so I thought I could not live without
coffee and I would not acknowledge
that it was causing my suffering.
"Then I read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give it a fair
trial. I had not- used it two weeks in
place of coffee until I began to feel
like a different person. The headaches
and nervousness disappeared and
where I used to be sick two or three
days out of a week while drinking
coffee I am now well and strong and
sturdy seven days a week, thanks to
Postum.
"I had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a day
when I thought I would experiment
end see if it really was coffee that
caused the trouble, so I began to drink
coffee again and inside of a week I had
an awful sick spell. I was so 111 I was
Boon convinced that coffee was the
cause of all my misery and I went back
to Postum again in a hurry with the
result that I was soon again well and
strong and determined to use Postum
the rest of my days and to leave coffee
alone In the future." Name given by
Pcsturn Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Look in each package for a copy of
the famous little book, "The Road to
IWellville." '
The organ grinder knew that fiat.
He choked off "Hiawatha" and beat a
hasty retreat down a side street.
Then Maria came back to earth.
The lights were being turned out in
the unfamiliar store windows, and
even grown up people were going to
bed.
She was afraid to ask the police
man on the corner the way home. She
heard too many stories about the aw
ful things the police do to children
who run away. So she wandered
around until she found a newsboy
who seemed small enough to be sym
pathetic with a truant. He guided
her over to the Bowery and pointed
put the way home.
It was only a mile away, but it was
a long mile. All the time she wanted
to cry, but then that would let the
policeman know.
When she got home a new fear be
set her. Her parents had, beyond
doubt, returned and were now wait
ing to mete out punishment. For a
while she crouched in the doorway;
then her fear of the deserted street
overcame all other fears, and she
crept upstairs.
As she opened the door of their
rooms she heard her father and mother
entering the street door. She did not
have time to undress and slip into
bed beside her sisters and brothers,
so she crept under her parents' bed.
When Mother Lorenti made her us
ual evening count of young Lorenti
noses she missed Maria's. She awoke
the six sleepers and hurriedly ques
tioned them. None of them knew that
Maria was not sleeping beside them.
Then Father Lorenti ran around to the
Fifth street station house and, when
he came back, he reported to his
weeping wife and children that noth
ing could be learned of their missing
Maria.
All the while the missing Maria was
growing more and more afraid to come
out from under the bed. One by one
the other children cried themselves to
sleep. Then the father, having six re
maining little Lorentis to feed, went
to bed so as to be fit for the coming
day's work.
Only the mother in the rocker and
Maria under the bed remained awake.
Both were crying; the one in the
rocker over the terrible fate that she
knew had befallen her child, and the
one under the bed over the terrible
spanking that she knew was about to
befall her.
About 3 o'clock In the morning a
great big sob rose in Maria's throat,
a sob that was altogether too big to be
chocked as its predecessors had been.
The mother in the chair heard it, rec
ognized it, flew to it. Maria was
hauled forth from her hiding place.
Once more the whole family was
awakened. In the joy of the reunion
the spanking was somehow overlooked.
YOUNG WOMAN FOILS
THE WHITE PLAGUE
Invalid Is Changed to Healthy Woman by
Camping Out and Hunting Deer.
KINGSTON. N. V., Nov. 20.—For many
years Miss Grace Merritt. daughter of
Charles Merritt, of this city, was a suf
ferer from consumption. Eminent physi
cians throughout the country were con
sulted, but without success from their
treatment.
Finally, as a last resort, on the advice
of one of the physicians, early last year
Miss Merrltt went to the Adirondacks,
camping ou with a pary of friends in
charge of a guide. For some months no
Improvement in her condition was notice
able. One day while on a walk through
the woods near the camp Miss Merritt
discovered an immense deer browsing.
Hurriedly she borrowed the rifle of the
guide, took careful aim and fired, kill
ing the deer. Her joy over this feat was
unbounded.
Thereafer instead of lounging about the
camp Miss Merritt daily took long walks
through the forests accompanied by the
guide, in search of deer. Slie soon be
came an expert shot and besides killing
several deer bagged a quantity of small
game.
Marvelous was he improvement in her
health. She became happy and hopeful
and her lungs rapidly healed. Not until
forced to leave the woods by the intense
cold and deep snows did she return home
last fall and this season she returned to
the Adirondacks June 1, camping at Sev
enth lake.
From an invalid who could scarcely walk
a block without being greatly exhausted
Miss Merritt has become strong, with
great powers of endurance. Besides be
ing a fine shot she is an adept in handling
a canoe. Her father, who has just re
turned from visiting her, says that his
daughter, accompanied by her guest, Miss
Minnie Altiger; her brother, Charles Mer
ritt Jr., and a guide have just returned
from a 200-mile tramp to Upper Saranae
lake and the Lake of the Silver Sky.
During the journey each carried one
blanket, guns, ammunition and food. Oft
entimes they were obliged to carry their
boats, weighing thirty-five pounds, strap
ped over their shoulders. At night they
slept under their boats.
THE INVASION.
Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark!
The Dowies have come to town.
Some in rags, some in jags.
But ONE in a velvet gown.
Sing a song of sixpence,
Garden's full of guff.
Bet your shirt against a iaok
Dowie gets the stuff.
I'd like to be Elijah,
Or with Elijah stand,
A crown upon my forehead
And Zion in my hand.

SOLDIERS' MONUMENT UNVEILED
Statue Commemorating the Boys in Blue and the Sailors Who Fought to Pre
serve the Union Is Publicly Dedicated at Summit Park—Ceremonies Preceded
by a Military Parade-Capt. Henry A. Castle Delivers Dedicatory Address.
Amid the booming of cannon and
the applause of several thousand peo
ple, who, in spite of the blustering
weather, stood for nearly an hour yes
terday afternoon about the statue, Miss
Susan A. Doran, daughter of F. B.
Doran, a veteran of the Civil war, un
veiled the heroic figure in bronze of
Josias R. King, the first volunteer in
the War of the Rebellion, which will
crown the soldiers' and sailors' monu
ment opposite Summit park at the
head of Third street.
The ceremonies attending the un
veiling were simple but impressive.

made the dedicatory address, and the
monument was presented to the city
by J. J. McCardy, who was mainly in
strumental in securing the shaft for
the city. Mayor Smith received it.
A military parade preceded the un
veiling. Garfleld Post No. 8 and Acker
Post No. 21, G. A. R., the national
guard companies of St. Paul, Sons of
Veterans, Philippine and Spanish-
American war veterans and the Twen
ty-^first infantry and the Tenth battery
of light artillery from Fort Snelling
participated.
Although the temperature was well
below the freezing mark and a sharp
wind blew throughout the afternoon
the exercises were a success in every
particular. There was a large turn out
of the old veterans of both posts of
the Grand Army, the militia made a
fine showing and a large number of
prominent residents of the city and
state were present.
The snow a few days ago, followed
by the cold spell^ delayed the work on
UNVEILING OF THE MONUMENT IN SUMMIT PARK.

the monument, and the bronze statue
was not in place yesterday afternoon
in time for the exercises. The bronze
figure stood at one corner of the plat
form on which the distinguished guests
sat and was there unveiled by Miss
Doran. .
A Handsome Statue.
When completed the statue, which
cost in the neighborhood of $9,000, will
be one of the handsomest shafts in the
country erected to the memory of the
soldiers of the Civil war. The figure,
about eight and a half feet high, will
stand upon a shaft of Vermont granite.
The monument stands fifty-three feet
high. The base is beautifully carved,
as is also the cap of granite just be
low the surmounting figure.
About the base four bronze plates
will be fixed. One of the plates bears
a large emblem of the Grand Army.
The other three plates bear appropriate
inscriptions as follows:
The statue of Josias King was made
by John K. Daniels, a St. Paul sculp
tor. It is a perfect likeness of Mr.
King, who is still a resident of St.
Paul, residing at 277 West Seventh
street. It represents him as a pri
vate soldier standing at attention. He
is garbed in a large cape, army over
coat, turned back slightly, and a fa
tigue cap.
Col. King, as he is now known, was
the first man to place his name on the
enlistment paper, which was opened
in St. Paul on April 15, IS6I, two days
after Fort Sumter had surrendered. He
rose to the rank of captain in the
First Minnesota, tiie firct reeiment of
volunteers accepted by President Lin
coln.
He is still a well-preserved man, en
gaged in active business, and is well
known about the city. The statue is
a likeness of him as he is toady.-
The shaft, which is a credit to the
city, stands in an imposing position at
the top of Third street hill. It is lo
cated in a triangle at the top of the
hill opposite Summit park and over
looks the business district and the
West side.
The parade, which preceded the un
veiling ceremonies, was an imposing
military pageant. The procession
formed at Smith park and led through
the business streets to the monument.
When the procession arrived at the
monument, the regulars trom Fort
Snelling lined up along Summit ave
nue at parade dress, while the artil
lery men took their station on Third
street hill. Part of the battery was
stationed on the vacant lot, half
a block down the hill from the monu
ment, and fired the salute of thirteen
guns attending the unveiling.
Miss Doran Unveils Statue.
After patriotic music by the bands
and a male chorus, Miss Doran was
introduced by Capt. J. J. McCardy, and
with the aid of Col. Josias King, un
veiled the statue. The bronze figure
was bound in flags but the wind had
twisted and knotted the strings, so
that it was with some difficulty that
the flags were removed.
As the last flag fell from its place
and the face of the statue was uncov
ered, Col. King, who had climbed on a
chair to cut one of the strings, stood
close to the statue. Instantly there
was a general murmur throughout the
crowd of the perfect likeness of the
statue to him.
As Miss Doran released the last flag
1 from its place the cannons began to
boom. A salute of thirteen guns was
fired.
Capt. Castle, the orator of the day,
spoke in an impressive and eulogistic
manner of the important pa?t played
by the Minnesota volunteers in the
Civil war, when 70 per cent of the
electoral vote of the state went to the
front to aid in the defense of the
country. He spoke In part, as follows:
Capt. Castle's Address.
The glory of its heroic men is the su
preme treasure of a people; a column ded
icated to their memory, is the supreme
expression of its gratitude and patriotism.
Saint Paul, capital city of the splendid
commonwealth of Minnesota; queenly
metropolis of an illimitable Northwestern
empire; throned among the fountains of the
continent's most majestic river, raises at
last—late indeed, but much better late
than not at all—a worth monument in
commemoration of those who fought that
the state might remain, untainted and un
marred, the indivisible segment of an in
vincible republic.
This monument is a tribute to the loy
alty, the devotion, the valor and the im
measurable sacrifice of those who died,
and of those who with cognate singleness
and sacredness of consecration testified
their willingness to die that the nation
might live, that the flag might be exalted,
that all men within the nation's expanding
boundaries, beneath the flag's far-flutter
ing ribbons of lily and rose, might be for
ever free. It is the tribute of surviving
contemporaries, anticipating the assured
verdict of a grateful posterity—lifting into
the air and sunshine of the better, grander
days to come, an apotheosis of sublime
ideals.
' St. Paul here plants on solid founda
tions and rears in enduring material her
testimonial to the bravery and patriotism
of the men who fought in the war for
the suppression of the gTeat rebellion—
those who died for the land of their love
and those, surviving, who have so lived
that it might be a land better worth liv
ing in and dying for. through the dimless
ages. All share in this commemoration —
soldiers who were enrolled in the state's
illustrious organizations and soldiers from
sister states of the loyal North, or loyal
soldiers from the border, who have since
found here congenial, happy homes. All
have joined in building for Minnesota the
stable fabric of a Christian civilization;
all have united in establishing the stand
ards of an enlightened citizenship.
(Capt. Castle here reviewed the history
of the formation of the First Minnesota
regiment, its splendid record in the Civil
war, and its brilliant achievement at Get
tysburg.)
In conclusion Capt. Castle said:
What even the years of the early fu
ture have in store for us we cannot say.
He would be a bold prophet who would
forecast the duties and the events of the
day after tomorrow. We have been led
by paths we knew not of to higher
plateaus of contemplation, where have
been discovered new ideals of respon
sibility and destiny. That the flag of
the ultimate republic will float In wel
come sovereignty from Hudson's bay to
Panama we may readily assume—but
when, or by what process, we cannot
foretell. What tomorrow's imperative de
mands may be we do not know. But this
we know—that God reigns, the govern
ment of Washington still lives, and the
fortitude of the "boys in blue" still ani
mates the souls of their successors.
The monument was presented to the
city in a few simple words by. Capt. J.
J. McCardy. Mayor Smith received it,
speaking as follows:
Mayor Smith Accepts Monument.
I accept on behalf of the municipality
the grand trust conferred on her. It is a
fitting tribute to the brave men who in
the hour of peril left their homes and of
fered us their lives as a sacrifice in de
fense of our glorious Union.
The veterans of Acker post have done
themselves and the state great honor in
placing on the pedestal of this monu
ment the statue of Capt. Joseph King, vt
this city, the first volunteer in this state,
and, as I am informed, in the entire coun
try to enroll his name on the roll of
honor.
I cannot let this occasion pass without
expressing, as I believe, the sentiments of
the veterans of the war and of our citi
zens generally, of high appreciation of
the services of Capt. McCardy. who. by
his indefatigable energy largely secured
the funds for the erection of this monu
ment. The monument will stand as an
inspiration to true patriotism on the part
of the generations that will follow ours in
the life of our beloved city and country.
Rev. W. H. W. Boyle, of the House of
Hope church, pronounced the benediction
and the ceremonies closed with "taps"
sounded by a bugler.
The dedication of the soldier's monu
ment marks the results of forty years' en
deavor by citizens to secure one. The
movement was first started after the bat
tle of Bull Run, in which the First Min
nesota took part. A committee was ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions, but the
strenuous times brought on by the growth
of the Rebellion and the Indian out
breaks necessitated dropping the matter.
No Variety.
"Your climate can't possibly be as damp
as ours."
"Think not?"
"No, indeed; why, our climate is so
damp we never raise anything but um
brellas."
"But ours is so damp we never think of
raising umbrellas. They're always up."—

MOTHER ATTEMPTS
TERRIBLE DEED
Continued From First Page.
and secured a bottle of carbolic acid.
She also purchased a bottle of pop in
one of the saloons nearby and showed
it to the children when she arrived
home, promising to give them some in
a few minutes if they would be good.
The children went into another room
to play, and while they were absent, it
is believed, the mother prepared the
deadly drink. She poured about an
ounce of acid into the emptied pop
bottle and then filled It with water.
She called the children from their
play, and, telling- them that they might
now have some pop, began drinking
from the bottle. She drank three
fourths of the contents of the bottle,
and then, placing it to the lips of hei
little son, Frank, five years of age, she
began pouring it into his mouth, but he
ran from her Into another room. The
mother handed the bottle to her seven
year-old daughter, and the girl imme
diately began drinking from it. She
only took one Or two swallows when *t
began to burn her tongue and she
dropped the bottle. The mother tried
to force her to take more, but as she
reached for the girl she began to get
dizzy from the effects of the poison
and fell against the wall.
Holding herself up, she made her
way around the room as far as her
bedroom, where she fell upon the bed
unconscious.
"I hardly knew what to do when I
saw them there," said little Mary, "buc
when I found ma asleep and I couldn't
wake her up, I knew something awful
had happened, and I ran for the doc
tor."
Motive for the Deed.
The motive first suggested for the
terrible deed was despondency over
trouble with her husband. Kovarik,
however, denies that he has had any
trouble at all with his wife for several
months. He stated last night that they
had never had any serious quarrels
He admitted drinking at times, but
claimed that his habit was not respon
sible for his wife doing washing. "Sh*
did it because she wanted to. She
worked for people on the hill, and liked
to meet that better class of people. She
never had to do It," he explained.
Kovarik believes that it was through
fear of death at the birth of her sixth
child that his wife tried to end her ex
istence. "For the past month my wifa
has been fearful of her coming illness,
because her mother and sister both
died at the birth of their sixth child,'
said Kovarik. "She was very much
afraid of the ordeal, and had made
arrangements to go to the city hospi
tal when she became ill.
"We talked about her going to the
hospital last week and at that time we
remarked that the farewells must be
sad ones when she went, because
none of us would know whether she
would come back alive. I said to her
then: 'Oh, you must live! You must!
What would I do with these little chil
dren? I love them and do not want to
give them away.'
"The conversation made a great im
pression on us both, and I think she
has brooded over it a great deal since.
We have had no quarrels at all for a
month, but have been like little chil
dren. She always kissed me each
morning when I went to work and we
were just as happy as could be.
"The only reason I can see for her
doing this terrible thing is that she
was afraid she was going to die, just
as her mother and sister had, and did
not want to leave the little children on
me as a burden. She thought It would
be best to end her life and theirs, too.
I want to see her recover, for if I did
do anything wrong I want to know it."
Made Careful Preparations.
It is evident that Mrs. Kovarik fully [
intended committing suicide, as she
made all preparations for it. She was
unusually affectionate in her farewells j
to her husband yesterday morning, and
later when her twelve-year-old daugh
ter, - Mary, started for school. The
woman surprised her by kissing her i
good-by and saying a number of "nice
things" to her. The little girl states
that her mother had not kissed her
good-by in years when she left for
school, and she could hardly under
stand it at the time, she says.
