Edgerton, s. ID. Lena, while In this
city, was employed by the families of
Mrs. W. w. McNair, w. W. johnson
and W. ID. Hale.
The murdered woman was boarding
at the residence of Mrs. Cow. 35 Six
teenth street north, Just previous to her
departure from. the city, and 1t was
there she was last seen by her friends
alive. She went away OH Aug. 20. stat
ing that she was going to Edgert0n on a
visit TO her brother. She took with Der
two trunks and all her money. which
amounted to about $1,000. This money
she Is supposed to have saved out of her
wages, for she was very economical.
The day following her departure from
the city her body was found OH the
beach at Duluth. This shows that she
went directly there, and evidently had
no intention of going to Edgerton.
Last April Mrs. Clay, The Fifth street
employment agent, introduced Lena to a
man who gave his name as A. A. Austin.
He was middle.aged ami claimed to be
from Los Angeles, where he owned a
lot OF property. lie pretended that he
wanted to engage Lena TO 10 with HIM to
California and Cfficiate in his household
as the housekeeper, he being wild
over.
He was a smooth-tongued fellow, and.
IN spite OF his age. managed to win the
woman's heart. She became infatuated
with him, and the two met at various
places almost every night. On some
occasions he waited for her at the West
hotel, where he claimed he was guest.
This sort of thing ran along all summer,
ana In spite of what Lena's friends said
to her concerning Austin and his pre-
tensions, she continued seeing him.
Two weeks ago she announced that she
was to marry him, and that she would
go to Edgerton to obtain the consent of
her brother.
Austin has disappeared from the city,
and no trace of him can be found. The
man seen with the murdered woman
the day of the murder tallies in dsscrip-
ton with that of Austin, and the police
want him badly. Austin is described
as being forty years of age, 5 feet 1lL
inches in height. and weighing about
10 pounds. He is erect of figure and OF
dark complexion, and when in Mime
aeolis wore dark mustache tinged with
gray and "burnSide" whiskerS,

Most of the city aldermen were in bad
moods last night-evidently suffering
from indigestion. The meeting of the
council was anything but an harmonious
affair. There was an absence of that
rythm and harmony of tune which at
times is enjoyed. The aldermen
snapped at each other and INDUCED in
sarcasm. and declined to overlook each
others little foibles. For some reason
or other they were all on edge. Con-
siderable routine business was trans
acted in the line of annuIling and Or
dering improvements; but for the most
part the time was taken up In speech
making aud filibustering. The paving
contracts formed the principal bone of
contention.
Vice President c. &. Goodrich, of the
street railway company. sent in a COM
munication relating 10 giving transfers
TO and from the Interurban line. The
line, he said, was operated under very
heavy expense, and he was OF the Opin-
ion an exception should be made in this
instance. He asked that thorough in
veStigation be made before any action
was taken by the council.
john Balstra was finally granted a
license for his saloon in the rear of the
Jumbo, it being shown that he had
nothing in common with j. {. Sodini
other than human kinship. BalStra
agreed to close all modes OF egress to
to ;he concert hall.
There was lengthy argument over
the report of the cOmmlttee on paving,
recommending the awarding of the con-
tract for paving Hennepin avenue from
Washington avenue to Sixth street to
the Warren-Scharf company. A num-
Der OF the aldermen maintained that the
price OF S2. So per square yard was too
high, and it was moved that the bids be
recOmmitted to the committee. The
motion was lost, sS was also a motion
10 instruct the city clerk to readvertise
for bids. A wordy war ensued over
Aid. Rand's notice to reconsider the
vote by which the latter motion was lost,
Aid. Woodward claiming that he could
not make the notice, having not changed
his vote i'll accordance. The council
got tangled up In lot of parliamentary
tactics, and it was some time before
they found themselves again. The pro-
ceedings during the process of olsen
tanglement were entertaining, to say
the least. The result of it all was that
nothing can be done with the contract
until the next meeting of the council.

!: In the private office of Mr.. johnson.
the chief Of the Washington bureau of
printing and engraving. on a shelf in
front OF one OF the bookcases, stands a
plain pine frame containing the first
com plete design for government note
ever made for the treasury department.
IL Is the design of Will Low for the new
one dollar certificate which will be nut
in circulation about a year hence. The
ehgraver viii! soon be at work
preparing the plate, but the work
of preparation is slow, and neces.
sitates delay in getting out the
new notes; and further delay is rem:
dered necessary by the fact that ChieI
j ohnsOn proposes to hold back the one
dollar note until he is ready to put out
the two dollar. five dollar, ten dollar
and possibly the fifty dollar and hun.
dred dollar notes. So it will hardly be
less than ten months or year before the
new designs are in the hands of the
public. Meantime Mr.. Johnson has
had MIR. Lows design photograp he'd

of that photograph lies before me as |

Any one whoIknows Will Lows work
does not need to be told that artisticaliy
the production is not only beautful-it
is wholly satisfying. Two figures and a
landscape form the central design. The
larger figure is that of History. She re-
clineS on an obloDg block of marble. her
right foot drawn under her. the left foot

attention, his head bent forward. his
eyes following the direction indicated

The Swedish Methodists.

Yesterday morning began the second
session of the Swedish Methodist Epis-
copal conference at the First Methodist
Episcopal church. Rev. Adolph Carl
son conducted the devotional services
at $3.50, which was followed by the regu-
lar business of the conference at 9:3O.
Various communications were received
and referred to the proper committees.
There we're no complaints made

corner Is similar scroll.
The Second Design
accepted is for the S. note. 1t has mo-
yet been photographed. 1t is the work
of Walter Shirlaw. The central figure
represents America bearing alort the
electric light, whose current comes
from the lightning dart held in the hanC
OF the figure OF Power, which Is repre-.
sen.ed in a chariot to the left. At the
foot of the figure (Which stands on q
sphere) is the American eagle. Just
below the figure and at the right is the
figure OF Fame blowing trumpet. Al
the right is the figure of Peace. with the
dove, and beyond in the distance is the
Capitol.
The other designs have not been sub.
mitted. No one knows who will make
them. Low aud Shirlaw are at work o.
them. So is Charles S. Reinhart. tile
famous artist, So well known through
his illustrative work done in the last
signs are yet to be considered and ap.
proved. Some sketches have been
made, but Mr.. johnson has pretty well
defined ideas of what he wants, and
nothing has been outlined yet which
entirely
Meets His Approval.
1t Is a melancholy fact, as 1 have

before had complete design prepared

policy OF the bureau since it was es.
