A BLIND DRIVER.
r. Alexander johnson. the Mind
Reader, Gives Another Test.

hGduGE, OIFCS f1nOGhCE ACSls
P. Alexander johnson, the young
mind reader whose remarkable perform
ances have attracted so much attention,
gave another driving test yesterday
afternoon. No announcement was
made, but nevertheless several thou
sand people along Hennepin avenue
watched the strange spectacle of man
wearing a black hood which prevented
any possible chance for him to see any
thing driving spirited team of horses
attached to hack up and down the
street at a furious rate. The ubiquitous
photographer was on hand, OF
course, and several "snap shots" were
secured at the mysterious driver. Mr..
Johnson was somewhat overcome by
his exertions, although he was not

THAT STONE TRUST.
Cast-Iron Rules Which Are to
Keep Up Prices.

There is trouble in the newly organ
lied stone trust. One of the members
has Withdrawn from the combine, and
it is claimed that now all the rest are
working to drive him out of busine IS.
The constitution and bylaws provide
that sail jobs of cut stone work in the
city shall be let on scale of percent
age" Herbert Chalker and the Cook IL
Hyde Stone company to have 26 per
cent each, and John Edwards, the Min
nesota Stone company, L. l.. Therien,
Frederick JenkinSon, Thomas Hastings,
James Gibson and Stock e Walker to
have per cent each. "All work." it
continues, 'to be figured by commit
tee of two, together with the con-
tractor to whom the job is to be
awarded; his figure shall be the lowest,
all the others to be made higher; all
work to be figured at cost and 25 per
cent profit added to the total amount,
and per cent of each contract shall be
form a general fund for the benefit OF
each individual member or firm" =
In order to become member of the
combine, a membership fee of $500
has to be paid. Should any member of
the combine violate his agreement, he
forfeits his $500. One provision of the
agreement is that union stonecutters
shall not be permitted to work for any
but members of the trust, and in case
the union should refuse to cali its men
off of work when the demand is made,
the trust agrees to declare a lockout.
James Gibson, who withdrew from the
combine, has, it is claimed, been
threatened by the other members ofthe
trust, and an attempt has been made to
get his men to strike. At the meeting
of the court house commission yester-
day. the commission agreed to receive
bids for stone from outside the city.
This is said to be a direct slap at the
trust, which included nearly all OF the
leading contractors in Minneapolis.

HELPED THE sToCKYARDs.
What I'll. e. Fletcher Says Of In
sDectiOn on the HOOf


lie. Fletcher, president of the Twin
City Stockyards company, in talking
yesterday of the inspection on the hoof
law, said that he believed that the law
had helped the stockyards. He said he
knew but little of the law until it had
been passed, although the public be-
lieved that the stockyards people had
been instrumental in securing its pas
sage, but that the law had operated much
as he had expected, thus:
1.-The markets were supplied for time
with our own beef, and the public was
surprised to find that it was much bet
ter than imported meat. The conse-
quence is that when this law was de-
cided unconstitutional and the markets
were again supplied with outside beef.
the consumers did not want it. They had
learned to like their own production
best. Most of the large hetelS and restau-
rants import their beef tenderloins, as
there is not enough in our own market
to supply the demand. There should
be national law for the inspection Of
cattle, not only on the hoof, but after
slaughter" continued Mr.. Fletcher.
s"Then there would be great deal
more beef exported and the people
would get better beef to eat, as it would
eliminate great amount of diseased
meat which cannot be detected before it
is killed."
AS to the localities from which most
of the cattle come to the stock yards,
Mr.. Fletcher said: From Northern
Iowa and Southern Minnesota, and you
would be surprised to know how many
cattle we are getting from Minnesota.
They are growing in number every
year. The farmers of this part of the
country have always thought the only
way to make money on their falms was
to raise wheat. The experience of the
last few years has demonstrated that in
this state, as well as others, the wheat
crop is uncertain. Now the general I'M
preston is that cereals. fed to animals are
all thrown away, but it is not the case.
1t doesn't require corn to raise cattle.
horses. sheep and hogs. Roots, oats and
other things raised on farm, if proper
ly utilized, would be of incalculable ben

A SAD SUICIDE.
Mrs. Chris A. Gallagher Takes Her
Life While Demented.

Another name has been added to the
list of Minneapolitans accomplishing
self-destruction recently, by the suicide
late Monday night Of Mrs. Jennie M.
Gallagher, wife Of Chris A. Gallagher.
the we'll known lawyer and politician.
o Mr.. Gallagher had been out during
the evening, and returned a little be-
fore IL O'Clock to his home at 1902
Fourth avenue south. His wife had al
ready retired, and when he came in
she expressed desire for something to
eat. He fetched her sand witch and
withdrew into an adjoining room to
prepare for bed. Some noise, as of
person moaning, attracted his attention,
and he returned to the bedroom. He
spoke to his wife, but received no an
swer. He went to her and lifted her head
when, to his horror. he found blood
running from her neck. A light was
brought a andghaStly sight, extremely SO
for a husband to witness. met his eyes.
Mrs. Gallagher had used razor, and
had literally cut her throat from ear to
ear. Shocked and almost bereft of his
senses. Mr.. Gallagher summoned his
neighbor. Mr.. Manley, and DR.. F. A.
Carroll, from the Homeopathic hospital,
was called. But it was too late. A few
minutes after the physicians arrival
Mrs. Gallagher breathed her last.
. Why Mrs. Gallagher should thus
leave, by her own act devoted hus-
band and happy home can only be eX-
planned by the conjecture that she must
have been mentally deranged, al
though from her disposition to
discuss suicide and methods of
suicide recently, it would seem that
self-destruction had been in her mind
for some time. For some few years
back Mrs. Gallagher has suffered much
from increasing weight. This, added
to a weakness of the lower limbs, was
the cause of much inconvenience and
pain to her. She could walk but
little without the aid OF a stick, and &C
ton was very painful to her, as short
ness of breath was added to her ether
affections. Everything possible had
been tried to relieve Mrs. Gallagher,
but, while sometimes helped tempo
rarily, the old trouble was sure to re-
turn. This, to woman of an ener-
getic, active disposition. as was Mrs.Gal-
lagher, naturally caused her not a.little
mental trouble, and it is but reasonable
to conclude that she became Respondent,
finally resolving to take her own life.
That Mrs. Gallagher had brooded
much over the topic of suicide for the
past year or more is we'll known to her
friends. She would, it is said, continue
any conversation but short time with
out reverting to her favorite subject and
the methods employed by the many who
every day cut themselves off from COM
munion with the world. This one
thought of quitting the world by ones
own act seemed never to leave her
mind. Only last Sunday she and her
husband were out driving and she
seemed unusually bright and happy.
He remarked her feeling so much better
when she turned to him and said:
''This is the last time we shall ever
ride together"
Mrs. Gallagher was foIty-six years

Judge Emery's Court.

Thomas Hanley was before Judge
Emery in the municipal court yester-
day on the charge of larceny preferred
by Robert D. Mabry, the tailor, of 919
Nicollet avenue. Yesterday Hanley
walked into the place and said he want
ed to be measured for a pair of pants.
Another man walked in behind Hanley.
and while the tailor was busy he picked
up piece of cloth and carried it off.
The tailor held onto Hanley and turned
him over to policeman. 1t was shown
that Hanley and the other man had
been seen together before entering the
store. and the court sent him to the
workhouse for thirty days. John John
son and Chris Yinke, two eXpressmen,
got into row at the Milwaukee depot
yesterday. During the row johnson
caught Yinke by the collar and
thumped him. Although johnson in
sisted that he was mot fighter" he
was compelled to pay fine of SIS.

The Senior Promenade.

The evening was one that will not
soon be forgotten by any of the people,
young or old, connected with the uni
versity. Elaborate preparations had
been made by the committee to have
the senior promenade of go surpass
anything ever held before of its kind,
proved successful. Fully 5000 people
were in attendance, and the scene at
the University Coliseum was grand
one. The main floor was crowded with
the young ladies and gentlemen, many
of the former partaking for the first
time of the pleasures of grand ball.
The stage was filled with galaxy of
beauty between each dance. On the
floor prOmenaded countless couples,
their faces showing the pleasure they
felt in the event. The galleries were
overlooking with sightseerS, the brill
liant lights rejecting upon the rich cos
tunes, the waving fans Of the ladies
giving decided Mikado effect. The
elite of Minneapolis was present to do
honor to the graduating class, and the
affair may be truthfully clasSed as the
colossal event of the season.
The promenade was pronounced far
grander than the one of last year, one
great improvement being the engage
ment of Danz's orchestra in place of the
Fort Smelling band, and some of the
choicest numbers of this favorite mu-
steal organization were given during
the promenade. A dance programme
followed, which continued until a late
hour. To the COMMITTEES is due in a
great part the success of the occasion,
which had been appointed as follows:
