THE LAST CALL.
The Citizens Census Committee
Makes a Final Appeal.

Makes a Final Appeal.
The census recount is now complete.
with the exception of looking up omis-
sions and the names of those who are
out of the city, concerning whom the
proper information has not been OBJ
tainable. The citizens committee yes
terday issued the following final ap-
peal:
The recount is nearly completed. All esti-
mates as to the result. by whomsoeVer gwen,
are wholly and entirely unreliable. At best
it will be incomplete and unsatisfactory
There are SO many absentees who cannot pc
reached, and many who are IN the city WILL
be overlooked. prompt general effort on
the part of the citizens will reduce this list
of omissions very greatly, and every one in,
>terested in the prosperity of the city should
do his or her part towards making the census
complete.
Let the owner, manager or keeper OF
every business house, MILL factory, hotel or
boarding house, flats or other leased build
ings. go through the entire length OF such
buildings or business: let all contractors on
city work, all builders, or other employers OF
workmen go through their works and In
quire diligently of all who are there if they
have been enumerated under the recount
since Aug. IL. Let them also inquire for
absent9es and get names and address OF
all who can be found who have not been
taken, giving street and number where
they sleep, and send them. to-
gether with name and address of some
citizen who can verify the same to the citi-
zens' committee. Let every citizen inquire
of his neighborg and see it he cannot find
omissions or absentees. Don't wait for some
one to come to you to ask you to do thls-lt is
a matter Of common interest to all and must
be voluntarily and promptly done or we will
come out with an unnecessarily small
enumeration. Every citizen who fails to do
his part in this is neglecting and overlooking
his own interests as well as Sinking his duty
towards the city.

doctor" Moore's Attorney Says
His Client Is Very Ill.
John A, Moore, Christian scientist
and devotee of unclean practices, is not
yet in the workhouse, although the stay
of execution granted in his case expired
yesterday. His attorney, Laing, at the
time the stay was granted. stated posi-
lively that he wanted to take an appeal.
Later he reconsidered the matter, and
countermauded the order for an
abstract of the evidence which
he had given to the court
stenographer. Yesterday morning he
told the court that she understood" the
man who was really guilty of the charge
against Moore had been found and
that he thought he could get
sufficient evidence to secure new
trial. He declared further that Moore
is now in st. Paul. sick with brain
fever. Judge Emery absolutely re-
fused to grant any further
stay foo a motion or argument
been allowed for such action, had the
attorneys really been intending to take
such action. However, he would not
order the man committed If he was
really sick. W. W. Erwin, the GRIM
inal advocate, here arose and stated
that he had been sent for to see man
down on York street in st. Paul. He
went there and found Moore, but so i'll
and dellrious that nothing could be got
out of him. That was his sole connec-
ton with the case. Judge Emery said
he would send an officer to st. Paul to
find out if Moore really is too ill to be
committed to John Vests laborarium.

Alliance Organization for
City Work--General News
Of Wednesday.

At the exposition building all is chaos.
and hundreds of workmen are busy all
over the vast structure getting the
spaces in readiness and handling the
ever-increasing piles of merchandise
and machinery that are constantly arriv-
ing. 1t seems incredible that in SO short
a space of time as now remains the
gigantic enterprise can be gotten in
running order. but as each exhibitor has
nothing to tend to but his own display
there is in reality very little to be ac-
complished. The work of the eXposi-
ton directors is practically completed.
and nothing now remains but to await
the arrival of the different exhibits.
The engines and machinery are all
in place, and the Edison exhibit, the
greatest attraction. is so far completed
that few days will see it in readiness.
The sod is partially laid about the tower,
and the connections have all been made
ready for the myriads of lamps which
are to dazzle the eve of the beholder
with their multiplied brilliancy. Scores
of curious visitors already flock TO the
entrances, and it is difficult task for
the gatekeepers to keep them out. so
great is their curiosity to see what prog
ress has been made.
One of the busiest sights is at the
front of the building where 1.-The Last
Days of Pompeii' is being placed in
position. Dozens of workmen are busy
arranging the mammoth scenery and
erecting stagings. Behind the scenes is
an interesting sight where the prepare
tions are being made for the pyrotech-
mic display. 1t is almost little city in
itself. The company carries with it its
own firewOrk manufacturers, and little
plant erected where workmen are busy
in the manufacture of the combustlbles.
Off to one side, away from the enclosure,
is being erected the IrOn-covered maya
zine, where the huge quantity of pow
der and chemicals are to be stored.
From the preparations already under
way some little idea can be had of the
magnitude of this gigantic affair. The
scenery extends across stage 300 feet
in length. Just in front of the stage is
a large artificial lake, which has already
been filled with water. This in the spec
tacle represents the bay of Naples.
Rooms have been erected in which the
extensive fireworks are to be manufact-
ured. Already seventy-five kegs of
powder have been ordered. but these
will serve but for two performances. A
large army of supers are now in train
ing by the stage manager to assist in
the production.

HIS LIFE GONE NOW.
f. Hunter Committed Suicide Be-
cause His Health Was Gone.


Another name was yesterday added
to the list of persons who have taken
their own lives in Minneapolis. Shortly
after noon yesterday some men working
along the bank of the river at Seven
teenth avenue northeast found the body
of man who had put bullet through
his own brain. 1t had been done but
recently, as the body was still warm. A
So caliber revolver lay beside the life
less form, and from small hole in the
right temple the blood was slowly drip
ping. His aim had been true. The
lead evidently went straight into the
brain, lodging within the skull. The
name of this man, who seems to have
coolly and deliberately taken into his
own hands the measure by which the
mystery of life and death is solved,
seems to have been +. Hunter. In his
pocket were found two unaddressed
postal cards, on one of which was
scrawled:
My health is gone. I can't work.
F. HUNTER.
There was no other clue to his iden-
tity except scrap of paper, which had
been carried in the pocket for long
time, bearing the address, "Miss Mary
Il. Snerraru, 1919 DICKINSON OCrecG,
Philadelphia" The dead man was
probably mechanic, as in his pocket
was found carpenters rule, with "a
cents in money. His hands bore no evil
dences of hard labor. He was dressed
in brown checked coat and vest, some
what worn but clean, and brown trous-
ers with white stripe. While of rather
coarse material, all his clothing was
scrupulously clean. The only signs of
ill-health about him were truss which
he wore and an unused porous plaster,
which was in his pocket. The suicide
was probably thirty years old. He was
five feet ten inches in height, and
a heavy red mustache and was slightly
bald. The body now lies at Connelly'S
morgue. No inquest will be held.

A COLD JULY NIGHT.
Why Hannah johnson Wants to
Be Divorced.

Be Divorced.
There was divorce case filed in the
district court yesterday which, if it
ever comes to trial, will bring out some
very strange facts. The plaintiff is
Hannah johnson, a Scandinavian by
birth, and Ole johnson is the defend
ant. The couple were married in 1885.
Shortly after their marriage Ole, it is
alleged. commenced drinking. The
complaint, among other things. goes on
to say how johnson abused his wife,
and relates an occurrence which
took place on the Fourth OF
July. The charges made are that
on or about the 4th of July, 1887, said
plaintiff, without any cause or prOyoca-
ton whatever, and while he was in an
intoxicated state, and in an angry and
violent manner, choked said plaintiff
and otherwise abused her, and finally,
after tOrturing her in this inhuman
manner. thrust her out of doors into the
cold and clammy winds which were at
that time raging without. At another
time, and on the 18th of February, 1888,
the defendant, it is claimed, called his
wife bad names, which was followed up
by threats. The plaintiff wishes to
change her name to Hannah Olson, her
maiden name, after having received a
divorce.

ing him with attempting to commit
bribery will be sent to the supreme
court in a few days. The point to be
discussed before the supreme court is
whether the alleged solicitation by
Haney is a crime according to law.
Judge Smith overruled the demurrer,
but sent this point up to the supreme
court. For this reason Mr.. Haney's case
will not be heard in the district court,
at the fall term at least.
