Chicago, Oct 20.—Axel Swanson Is very much ashamed of the record he made at revolter practice yesterday. After firing five times at his own head. In an attempt to commit suicide, he succeeded only In clipping a little piece off his chin, because bis hand shook so that he could not keep the weapon straight. Axel was Tery anxious to .hit himself, too, because his sister, Mrs. E. Holmes, had called him a "big stupid," and be had retorted boastlngly that at least he knew enough to kill himself.

Foster & Waldo, 40 Fifth Street South, Corner Nicollet mmm If All the Women Vote, It Is Be- lieved That the Bonds Will Be Authorized. Women may vote on the school bond proposition which will be submitted to the voters ol Minneapolis at the general election on Nov. 4, in spite of the dictum of some half-informed, self-constituted authority. The law is so plain on this point that there is no occasion to call in a learned law man to construe it. Section 8 of article 7 of the constitution of Minnesota reads as follows: "Any woman of the age of twenty-one (21) years and uyward and possessing the qualifications requisite to a male voter may \ ote at any election held for the purpose of jchoosing any officers of schools or any members of library boards, OR UPON ANY MEASUBIti RELATING TO SCHOOLS OR LIBRARIES, and shall be eligible to hold any office pertaining to the management of schools and libraries." This ought to set at rest the consterna- tion prevailing among the friends of the city schools over the possibility that the bond issue might be defeated. There was some cause for alarm. Ac- cording to the laws of the state, the proposition to issue bonds would have to secure a two-thirds majority of all the votes cast at the election in order to carry, re- gardless of whether all voted on the bond proposition or not. Those who did not vote would be counted against the bonds bv reason of this provision of the law. If the women voted for school officers, but would not be allowed to vote on the bond measure, their votes would nevertheless be counted against the bonds. Among those who believed that this proposition was as absurd as it was unfair was W. K. Hicks, a member of the board of education. He v»ith others realized that the "bond issue w a s fti danger of de- feat, which meant that serious conse- quences would follow. Without the revenue from a bond issue, the school board would have no funds for building new schoolhouses, of which several are needed in order to accommodate the rapidly in- creasing school population of the city. The board is already at the end of its wits in trying to provide accommodations for the young pupils and has been compelled to make use of all manner of temporary ex- pedients Unless funds are provided, the situation would become greatly aggravat- ed next year. Before accepting the dictum that women could not vote for the bonds, School Director Hicks made a careful inquiry, and a brief hunt showed him that the authority was wrong and that the fears of the school directois were groundless. Members of the school board feel that there is need for the women of this ^ity to inform themselves fully on the bond proposition, for It is of more importance that they should vote for the bonds than to vote for school directors. Most of them are probably familiar with the fact that the school board has made a request to tho council for a bond issue of $200,000 for building new grade schools. It is un- derstood that work will begin on two new buildings as soon as the bonds are as- sured. The council is uuable to issue the bonds at this time, for reasons not necessary to enumerate, without securing the consent of the people of the city. Therefore the council will submit to the people at the general election day, Nov. 4, the question of whether or not the bonds shall be issued. It is now for the people to decide, and the women may vote on the question as well as the men. CHANCE TO REGISTER. The Polling Places Will Be Open All Day To-Morrow. All voters who failed to register at the primary election, Sept. 16, are reminded that another opportunity will be given to- morrow when the judges of election in each of the 139 election districts in Min- enapolis will be at the usual polling places from 6 a. m. until 9 p. m. for the purpose of enrolling such voters as not already registered. The third and last oppotunrty for registering will be given next Saturday when the judges will also be on duty from 6 in the morning until 9 at night. Though a fair vote was obtained at the primary election, the vote at the general election will be very small if the electors do not exercise their rights. Campaign managers say there ought to be at least 15,000 more voters on the books in order to insure an average vote. Naturally there will not be so many votes cast on Nov. 4 as there were two years ago, but there seems to be considerable interest in the local campaign and on that account te vote in Hennepin county is expected to be large for an "off year." JUDGE TORRANCE SPOKE Hl3 First Appearance In the Present Po- litical Campaign. The largest meeting in the city last Sat- urday night was the republican rally at Berglund's hall under the auspices of the Eleventh Ward Republican club. The notable feature was the first appearance in the present campaign of Judge Ell Torrance, late commander-in-chief of the G. A. R. He urged the election of Con- gressman Fletcher and the whole republican ticket. Among the other speakers were Governor Van Sant, Ray W. Jones, Loren Flethcer, Henry J. Gjertsen, Fred M. Powers, Arthur L. Jones, W. I. Nolan, Manley L. Fosseen, Claus O. Peterson and Edward Miller. W. K. Hicks presided at the meeting. James M. Beck May Speak. It is possible that James M. Beck, as- sistant United States attorney general, may deliver a few republican speeches in Minnesota. He is here as a representa- tive of the government in the suits against the Northern Securities company. Nat- urally he has his hands full with the de- tails of the case, but it is hoped that he may find time to make a few talks. He has a reputation of being a mvst eloquent oratof. j Governor Cummins' Minnesota Speeches Governor Cummins, of Iowa, is in fine condition after a few days' rest and will meet his engagements in Minnesota. Ac- companied by Frank M. Nye, of this city, he will visit Winona this evening and to- morrow evening will invade Anoka. The two will undoubtedly have very successful meetings wherever they appear. EXPECT «0 STRIKE Minneapolis Switchmen Have Not 1 Yet Presented Their Ultimatum to the Roads, w They Threaten to Strike if Their Demands Are Not Acoeded to ' by Wednesday. Representatives of roads centering in Minneapolis say they have as yet received no notification that they will be given until Wednesday to comply with the switchmen's demand for higher wages and shorter hours under penalty of*a strike. The switchmen were reported to have taken such action at'meetings held last evening in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. The switchmen want 18 per cent increase in their wajres. They also want a new set of rules, but it is hinted that this demand might be Waived if a wage increase was forthcoming. The offer to raise wages 5 per cent, to which the roads have consented, has been rejected. The grievance committee of switchmen met twice yesterday with the general manager and several other officials of the Great Northern road. General Manager Pennington of the Soo road says there will be no strike. "The roads," he said: to-day, "have had several conferences with the switchmen, but as yet no definite agreement has been made either as to wages or shorter hours. This is the first I have heard of a threatened strike. We have received no ultimatum as yet, and have not been appraised of any action taken at the meeting last evening. I can only say that the switchmen will fare as well as any other of our employes, and am confident that any differences which may exist will be settled on a satisfactory basis. I can say definitely, as far as this road is concerned, that we will not make any shorter-hour concessions." Michael Sweeney, general superintendent of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road, has. heard nothing of a prospective strike unless the switchmen's* demands are granted. He denies that a strike is im- minent. The St. Paul grievance committee met the managers of the roads centering in St. Paul this morning.

Settlement Not Here Yet. Conferences were held yesterday between the committees of switchmen of the Northern Pacific, North-Western, Great Western, Milwaukee and Great Northern roads. It was stated that there •was no probability of a settlement of the differences before tbis week. There are still a number of matters to be considered. RAILROAD NOTES. The Western Maryland Railroad company has filed In Baltimore a first mortgage to the Mer- cantile Trust company of New York Of $50,000,- 000, to secure an issue to that amount of 50- year 4 per cent gold bonds. The proceeds of the sales of these will be used in betterments in tho construction of terminals. The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway has announced that second-class tickets to Nebraska and other teriltory west of the Missouri river, one way will be sold at one-half the regular fare, plus $2. These colonists' tickets, as they are called, will be sold on the first and third Tuesday of each month during the coming winter and spring. Judge Millard has decided at Toledo, Ohio, that one road may condemn a right of way through the property of another road. The decision was in the case of the Toledo Railway and Terminal company against the Ann Arbor company. Coming: The "Tiger Llllles Co." CRAZY LOYER USES TORCH Adolph Kadelboch Belived to Be Re- sponsible for $20,000 Fire Loss at Hamel. Because he could not quench the flames of love burning within his breast, Adolph Kadelboch of Hamel deliberately set Are to his own home and to the barns of three neighbors. Temporary insanity is said to have prompted the crime. For some time past Kadelboch has been in love with Annie Piper, the daughter of a farmer whose barn was among the structures destroyed. He says the girl had promised to marry him this fall, but her father opposed the match and it was Anally broken off. Then Kadelboch planned his revenge. The Piper barn was the first building to go. It was filled w i t h bay, grain and stock and is a total loss. This fire occurred Friday morning, and Kadelboch was not at first thought con- nected with the deed. Saturday morning the barn of Mrs. John Winderholter was seen to be in flames. She Is Kadelboch's nearest neighbor. She ran for assistance and then discovered that the Kadelboch house was also on fire. Help came shortly, but before the men had fairly begun their fight against the blaze, they discovered that the barns of Leonard Miller and Jacob Spurzem had also been fired. A few minutes later Mrs. Charles Thom- as, who lives some distance away from the burning buildings, discovered Kadel- boch outside her house. His head was covered with blood and his clothing was dripping wet. She admitted him and he told her that he had fallen down a well. Mr. Thomas came down stairs shortly afterward and questioned Kadelboch. The man's replies were vague and con- fused and when Thomas heard of the fires be at once made up his mind that Kadel- boch was the firebug. # He held the man a prisoner in his house and sent for help. When the neighbors arrived, numerous threats of lynching were made, but cooler counsel prevailed and Kadelboch was kept in the Thomas home until late Saturday night, when Sheriff Dreger was sent for. He brought the man here and lodged him In the county jail. The loss occasioned by the several fires is estimated at $20,000. Much valuable farming machinery, stock and grain wa 1 - destroyed, and of the four structures fireil every one burned to the ground. Insui - ance will cover only a small percentage of the loss. Kadelboch admits that he fired his own dwelling and the Winderholter barn, but says that if he was responsible for the other fires he does not know it. He admits, however, that his memory is a blank so far as the events of the morning are concerned, and says he remembers nothing from the time he left the Winder- holter place until he fell into a well, noi can he tell how he got out of his predica- ment. Neighbors say he has always been "pe- culiar," but heretofore he has been considered harmless. He owns a large farm and has money in the bank besides. Clothe Your Boys at The "Plymouth.

At a meeting of the Franco-American Demo- cratic club at Norden hall on Central avenue yesterday afternoon addresses were given by James C. llaynes, Ed J. Conroy, John J. McHale, E. J. l'Herault, Alfred Colle, Louis Desroslers, Charles Marchessault, V. F. Plouf and Francis Martin ot St. Paul. Rcnckeu's hall, Fourth street and Thirteenth avenues NE, was the scene of a lively republican meeting yesterday afternoon when the Russian- Polish Republican club was in session. Address- es were delivered by J. W. Dreger, David Gor- ham and George R. Smith in English, and by John Soika and Ed Sehunert in Polish. A Dreger club has been organized in Northeast Minneapolis, with the following officers: W. Kampfl, president; E. Warnecke, vice president; Fresd P. Scheffel, secretary: W. F. Wachsmith, treasurer. Successful republican meetings were helck Sat- urday evening in the fourth ward at 1713 Sixth avenue N, and in the tenth ward at Logan and Thirty-second avenues N. Many failures have been prevented by the constant use of Jouranl want ads. Try them, read them and you will learn this Is no Idle boast. He States His Case for General As- sembly Consideration. The Rev. Louis Richter of Minneapolis, who was recently read out of the Presby- terian church, has perfected his appeal to the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States. His appeal is based on grounds of irregularity in the proceedings of the Minnesota synod, refusal to entertain an appeal, refusal of rea- sonable indulgence, receiving improper testimony, hastening to decision before the testimony was fully taken, manifesta- tions of prejudice In the conduct of the case, mistake in the decision, and Injustice in the same. The strongest point on which Mr. Rich- ter bases his claim for an appeal comes under the head of improper testimony. Notwithstanding, he says, that the matter was to be considered and argued only from the standpoint of the regularity of the appeal and the technical wording of the same, an address was delivered by C. T. Thompson, in behalf of the pros- ecution, in which he went into the merits of the case, "making a false, malicious and defamatory statement, which was ac- cepted by the members as facts and evidence, notwithstanding the fact that the merits of the case were not in issue." The only question up for discussion, it is pointed out, was that of entertaining the appeal solely upon technical grounds.

John Day Smith, who returned yesterday from Washington, made a side trip to the scene of the battle of the Wilder- ness and the surrounding country, where were fought some of the most desperate conflicts of the civil strife. He was ac- companied by J. L. Dobbin, S. S. Brown and George W. Bahan of Minneapolis and Mr. Smith's brother, Horace L. Smith of Weymouth, Mass. All belbnged to regi- ments which saw service in the Wilder- ness. Mr. Smith is to write a portion of the history of his old legiment, the Nine- teenth Maine volunteers. His pen will cover the period from the time the regi- ment left the Wilderness, May 7, 1864, until it crossed the James river, June 15. During that time were fought the battles of Spottsylvania, Massaponax river, North Anna, Bethesda church and old Harbor. Mr. Smith says the Wilderness looks much to-day as it did forty years ago. THE C. E. ELECTION W. H. Medlar, of Alexandria, Is Chosen President by the Endeavorers For Another Year. The Christian Endeavor state conven tion closed last evening with services at Central Presbyterian church, St. Paul. C, E. Eberham of Boston, spoke on "Christ- Ian Endeavor Work," and Rev. W. B. Riley of the First Baptist church, Mlnne apolis, gave an address on "The SixEssen tial Things in Soul Training." After the addresses, the convention took part in a short consecration service. The musical selections were by picked singers from church choirs of the city. The officers chosen Saturday afternoon were: President, W. H. Medlar, Alexan dria; re-elected; secretary, Anna M. Smith, Shakopee; treasurer, Edward Deitrich, St. Paul. Breaking the Boundary Line. The dividing line between Canada is, even to-day, almost purely imaginary. The census of 1900 shows that there were living in the United States over 1,000,000 native-born Canadians, one-quarter as many as were living in Canada. Besides this, there are nearly half as many Americans as Canadians in Canada, and the great rush for Canadian lands is In- creasing the number. The interfusion of the people will soon be complete, and then the boundary line will be purely histori- cal and golden grain belt beer will be doing as much good in Canada as it is in our own state. Pure, sparkling and de- licious, this beer should be in every home. Better order to-day. .~+0 \ Your Credit is Good at the New England i O* Mahogany.
