BUILDING THEIR PLATFORM.
The Young Mems Republican Club
Adopt q Constitution.

AoOpt a constitution.
81. B. Willis sat in the ladies' ordinary of
the Ryan last night, and ranged along the
side of the room were thirty sturdy young
Republicans. 1t was the third meeting of
the Young Mems Republican club, and
Judge Schoonmaker sat at table with the
presidential gavel in his hand. Several
new names were added to the roll of men,
bership and the report of the committee on
constitution and bylaws was called for.
The committee submitted a constitution
which, after considerable amending and re-
vision. was made to read substantially as
follows:
The association shall be known as the
Young Mems Republican Club of St. Paul.
and shall exert its influence to promote re-
form IN national, state and municipal affairs,
ana the condition of membership shall be ab-
solute and unqualified loyalty to the Driuci-
pie that the United States of America are a

THE WEST SIDE UNION
Whacking Away at the Levee--The
ssOntari0 Plam.,,

The levee was the main question before
the West Side Citizens union last evening.
E. Vanish submitted report of talk with
City Attorney Murray, which stated that
Mir. Murray had said that bill had been
introduced in the council providing for the
construction of the levee at the expense of
the property benefited, but the bill had
been tossed about from one hand to another
until finally the Minnesota & Northwestern
Railroad company had proposed to do
something, and there the matter rested.
He did not see enough of property to be
benefited to pay for it and therefore he
thought that the railroad company ought to
pay the biggest part of tho expense. He
further stated that there were a number of
poor people on the plat who could not pay
the heavy assessments which would ensue.
The matter was discussed in general way,
mainly on the question of the location of
assessments, whether ON property directly
facing the improvement, or on property
benefited on any part of the fiat. A. NJ.
Lawton offered resolution requesting the
alderman of the ward to endeavor to get
the council to let the contract for the con-
struction of Ievee forty feet wide, as
originally proposed in the council. The
resolution was adopted by a vote of 6 to 4,
and then Immediately reconsidered and re-
ferred to the committee on levee for re-
vision and amendment. The Ontario plan
Of public Improvements and assessments
was discussed somewhat. especially by Mr..
Prescott, who is quite enthusiastic over it.
The matter will be further considered and
agitated by the union. G. Ii. Lienau Of
the committee on market grounds reported
that nothing had been done, but promised
early action in looking UP the matter.

occupy in the coming fall campaign. AS to
Just what he intends to do he has been ret
icent of late.
Speaking of the political situation yes
terday, a prominent politician said that
William Window, who just at present was
not cutting much of a figure in the political
world. would probably be brought forward
by the Republicans as a candidate for gov
ernor and he would go into the convention
with backing that 1t would be hard to
overthrow. He will be supported by the
silk stocking element and the farmers will
give him powerful boost 1t is alleged
that Window is anxious to sit in the guber-
material chair, and while he seems to be
looking over the situation mdifferently. he
really has his agents at work on the pulse
of the people in the southern part
of the state with the intention if he goes
into the fight to go in to win.
Senator III. j. Peck Of Shakopee was at
the Clarendon yesterday. but had but little
to say regarding his candidacy for con-
gressional honors in the Third district He
said, however, that he had not declared
himself as candidate, but if the people
demanded him he would make the run.
He predicted a warm fight in that district
and said that it was far from easy to tell
which way the tide would turn.

Holy Alliance of European nations defeated
the great French leader at Waterloo
the powers rewarded Gen. Bernardotte for
his treachery to Napoleon by making him
king OF Sweden, and decreed that Denmark
should cede Norway to Sweden, and that
Sweden should cede Finland to Russia for
consideration. The people of Norway
refused to be treated thus, and called
delegate convention at Eidsvold which, on
May II, 1914, adopted constitution for
the government of Norway. 1t is in COM
memoration of this event that the day is
celebrated by Norweglans as independence
day. Gen. Bernadotte sent an armed force
of so, 600 men to the Norway frontier, but
the Norweglans were determined to fight,
and Bernardotte sent commissioners, know
ing the demand of the powers would not
be needed, to the Norwegian diet 10 entreat
them to avoid bloodshed, and to enter into
union with Sweden for mutual protection.
He was granted the succession to the

About Water..A Dam DESTROYED.
DETROIT, May 21.-There is a wal
among the lumbermen of Isabella county
over running logs in the Chippewa river.
Recently Judge Hart of that county granted
an Injunction forbidding Leaton & Upton
from obstructing navigation at Pares Bro. IS
dam at Mt. Pleasant. which prevented the
running OF $4,000, 900 feet Of logs. A Sec
ond injunction to interfere with the log
drives was granted, but has since been dis
solved. Last week the i'll feeling between
the Saginaw lumbermen and the Isabella
county mill owners broke out in violence.
The log drivers took forcible possession of
the Woodin dam and when Woodin's men
attempted TO interfere they threw
two of them i'll the river. In consequences
three of the gang have been
arrested on the charge of attempted MUIR
der. The hard feeling is spreading all over
the vast lumber region that feeds the Mus
kegon and Saginaw mills. This bitterness
is evidenced in what happened at Mt.
Pleasant this morning. At Q o'clock a
dynamite cartridge was exploded under the
dam of Harris Brothers. Great timbers
were torn up and thrown one upon the other.
and the water was rapidly lowered. This
dam was for use as feeder to float down
the logs. The injury to the dam is several
hundred dollars, while the loss to the log
drives will be up in the thousands. Other
explosions are feared.

A Wifess Terrible Experience.

CHICAGO, May 21.-Mrs. Atkinson. the
wife of a saloonkeeper, passed through a
terrible experience last night. She was
compelled to see her husband take draught
of poison which killed him in few hours.
Atkinson opened saloon a few months
ago in the alley just west of the criminal
court building. He failed to make money
and became respondent. About 2 o'clock
this morning he came to the rooms occu-
pied by himself at 16 South Clark street.
On coming in he locked the door
and, removing the key, held it in
his hand. After sitting down on
the bed he took from his pocket bottle
filed with morphine. His wife saw him
swallow the poison and endeavored to stop
him. She tried to get the key from him so
that she might summon help. He refused
to give it up and kept it tightly clnched in
his hands until he became unconscious. AS
soon as possible Mrs. Atkinson got possess
sion OF the key and gave the alarm. A
physician was summoned, but his services
were of no avail. Atkinson diving at 5
o'clock. Atkinson was Al years old and

There are several rapid elevators in the

the Drake block. 1t goes up like shot and
comes down great deal faster A fellow
came in from Montana the other day and
got into the elevator at the fourth floor.
He wanted to go down. The elevator boy
sized him up and thought it would be a
splendid idea to let him see how quick he
could go down four stories. He pulled the
lever and in about two seconds the elevator
reached the ground floor and stopped. The
drop was made so quickly that the bottoms
OF the mans pants were up around. his
waist when the machine stopped, and after
catching his breath he was going to shoot
the boy for refusing togo up stairs and show
him the ''cross-eyed swipe whut cut Their

BADLY Scorched.

Shortly after 8 o'clock last night great
volumes OF smoke began pouring out of the
windows Of the second floor of the Brown
building on Market, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. The fire was discovered to
be in the rooms occupied by MI. Allis, an
architect, and his wife, and before dis
covered the fire had thoroughly scorched
the interior of the rooms and furniture,
causing a loss to furniture Of 5000 and to
the building of $500 or $500. The rooms
were furnished by J. NJ. Hatslat and the
building is owned by Mr.. P. V. Brown.

and Mrs. Allis were out at the time and
state that no fire nor light of any kind had
been left in either room.
