Baldwin being installed as chairman,
and G. G. Chollar as secretary. n mo-
ton to hold joint caucus OF the two
wards, was amended SO as to relate to

prevail. Upon motion to proceed to
the election of delegates, Messrs.

Word was brought here Tuesday
that Sheriff Schmelz, of Brown coun-
ty, had drowned himself in the Mime
sofa river, in a fit of mental alteration
brought on by drink and association
with a fallen woman. He left home
last Wednesday morning, telling his
wife he was going to Sleepy Eye.
Saturday suspicion was aroused, and
friend of the family learned that at
Minneapolis Sheriff Schmelz had told
woman of questionable character
that he would go home and drown
himself, because she refused to elope
with him. The Review account says
that Sunday afternoon the island in
the Minnesota river which Schmelz
owned was visited. On a tree near
the river bank his overcoat was found
and about block farther down were
tracks in the clay and scraps of letters
which had been torn to pieces by the
man before drowning himself. Two
blocks still further down his body was
found, about eight feet from shore;
Only his coat and the top of his head
showed and when extricated it devel-
oped that his hands and feet were
firmly stuck in the clay, the water at
this place being only three feet deep.
He was taken to shore, and later on,
at the advice of Judge Weber, his
body was removed to the hospital.
The coroner was summoned and ar
rived Monday morning. In the after
noon an inquest was held, the jury
concluding that he had drowned him
self in fit of temporary insanity.
"a revolver and a package contain
ing poison were found on his clothes
at the inquest.
"Schmelz was thirty years of age.
He was born in New Ulm on the 18th
of November, 1862, and spent his life
either in the city or on his farm in
Cottonwood. Two years ago he re-
ceived the Democratic nomination for
sheriff and was elected. The first por-
ton of his term was characterized by
strict attention to duty, but as stated
above an influence for bad got the
best of him and eliminated in death
at his own hands. He was married
several years ago to Helen Rotering,
who has all along proved noble and
faithful wife and for her the sympa-
thy of the community will be sincere
He also leaves two children, both
boys, aged five and three years"

Superintendent RACE says that the
most diseouraging feature about ar
bor-day tree planting around country
school houses is not lack of interest on
the part of teachers and scholars, but
a lack of protection for the trees after
they are planted. The residents Of
the district too often, after much
trouble and pains by the school in
starting the trees in a healthy growth
use them for hitching posts, and the
school house premises as a pasture
ground for their herds. The result is
that the surroundings of most of oul
school houses are not what they should
be, or could be made to be under ia
vorable circumstances.

The closing of the Commercial Bank,
OF St. Paul, which was due solely to
one of those panicky runs upon the

tons due the bank, which is abundant

President Albert Scheffer, who is one

PEORIA. March 26.--Rumors have been in
circulation several days to the effect that
Peorians who sold their stock in the Dis
tillers and Cattle Feeders company contem-
plated the erection of new distilleries for
the purpose of fighting the trust. Samuel
Woolner has been mentioned as being in
terested in the new plan, and a reporter
called on him to-day for information. He
said the report was correct, that he had
associated himself with others for the pur-
pose of building two distllleries, each
about 5000 bushels capacity. 1.-The trade
