Library. whose proposed establishment was de
scribcd at length in our columns yesterday re-
lates 10 the site where the library building
should be placed. \ central location is of
course exceedingly desirable. but hardly any
two citizens would agree on the exact spot best
suited for this purpose. one member of the
Joint committee engaged in pcrfcctins the
scheme OF library consolidation is strongly Of
the opinion that the present site of the LenoN
Library IS the most available His views are
quoted in another column. At first thought
Fifth-avc. and Scvcntieth-st. seems too far up
town and too much on one side of the city
But this gentleman points ont that in the city
at present and especially in Greater Ncw-iork
there must be a number of branches at which
residents Of the several ncghborhoOds may OBJ
tain and exchange books: and that considera-
ton obviously has important bearings on the
location Of the central library. There would be
manifest advantages in utilizing a site belong
ing To one factor in the consolidated institution
and the Lenox property would afford ample
room for the new buildings that will be re-
CURED That the men in charge Of this move

Store Ruined by Fire
Last Friday.

Operations.
Herman 6. Schmahl Badly Burned
Burned About Face, Neck

The Francois mercantile fire of last
Friday, a full account of which was
given in an extra issued by this paper
on the afternoon of the fire, caused a
loss of about SIS, 900 on buildings and
contents. The adjusters of the various
insurance companies having policies
on the stock and buildings are COM
mencing to put in their appearance
and looking over the loss. Two or
three of the representatives have
called for an inventory of the goods
saved from the wreck for the purpose
of comparing it with the invoice made
in February last with the hopes that
the full amount of insurance on the
stock will not have to be paid. But
the most conservative look oyer the
stock will quick reveal the fact to a
person who happened to see it just be-
fore the fire that the loss will certainly
amount to several thousand dollars
more than $1,000, for which sum the

BEEFISSCARCE.
Prices for Fat Cattle are Raising
And Wilt Soon be at
The Top.
TWo-Year.Olds Are Belnq Pre-
pared for the Meat
Block.

Reports from all over the cattle
States indicate that there is going to
be great shortage on beef cattle dur
ing the next six months and that pric-
es are likely to 60 way up as high as
they have ever been for fat beef.
This is all owing to the fact that in
the beef districts raisers were obliged
to sell their cattle last fall for the rea-
son that hay and feed was q scarce
commodity and there was great dan
ger ofscattlesbe starved. Low pric-
es abounded then. There was plenty
of cattle on the market. To-day the
supply is not equal to the demand and
prices are likely to go up very soon.
Inquiry has been made among cat
tie dealers in Redwood county and the
stupendous fact is revealed that there
is not enough beef in the county to
supply the home demand. The same
statement can be made as to hogs.
The county seems to have been COM
pletely gutted during the past winter
and fat animal, or even a medium
fat animal is an exceedingly scarce
article. This was owing to the fact
that the crop of hay last fall was ex.
ceedingly short, and that good many
farmers found it necessary to sell off
a great deal of stock on hand in order
to meet certain debts and gain provi
sions for the winter.
| An interview with two of the lead
ing buyers early in the week revealed
the fact that it would be almost i'm
possible to buy up enough cattle tc
fill two cars for shipment, and that
Redwood county hogs ready fol
slaughtering we're as scarce as Mime
sofa bananas in winter time. Renville
/ county has quite large number ol
the latter and the farmers owning
them, as we'll as the fortunate farmers
who own hogs or cattle that will be
ready for shipment during the next
three months can count themselves az
lucky mortals.
A Pierre special to the Minneapolis
Times says that heavy cattle dealers
from the Dakota range have just re-
turned from the southwest where they
went to purchase cattle, returning
without investing, the prices ranging
from $18 to $40 for two-year-olds
Those who have so far returned with
out cattle are Messrs. Phillips, New
banks and Stearns. This has raiset
the price of cattle in this part of tn
State and young cattle which hav,
been going at very low figures fo
several years are now good property
Several train loads of Minnesota stool
have already been rushed in and NOR

IN THE MOUTH.
Charles Hanson of Morgan Sends
aBullet Crashing Through
His Brain.
The Deed Was Committed While
Hanson Was In a Fit of
Dependency:

Chas. Hanson, a victim of consump-
tion, committed suicide last Friday
afternoon in his room at the Porter
House in Morgan. Hanson had been
a sufferer Of consumption since last
spring, and had steadily been grow
ing worse until the time of his tragic
death. Being out of work and money
he was taken as charge of the coun-
ty. He boarded at the Commercial
Hotel until about FIVE weeks ago when
he was removed to the Porter House.
The particulars and circumstances of
the suicide as learned by a GAZETTE
reporter are about as follows:
About three o'clock in the afternoon
pistol shot was heard by occupants
OF the hotel. but everybody thought
that it was some one in the back yard
shooting at mark. A few minutes
later, julius Hanson, brother of the
deceased, who had been with him for
the last three weeks prior to the sui
eide, went up to his room to give his
brother some medicine, and was hor-
rified to find him dead. He did not
discover the revolver at that time, but
seeing the bed clothes spattered with
blood he supposed that he had died
with a hemorrhage of the lungs. He
Immediately ran down stairs and IN
formed Chas. Porter that his brother
was dead. and together they returned
to the room and discovered the re-
volver which had been used to do the
deed. 1t was 38 caliber, and looked
as though it had been loaded for a
long time, it being badly rusted.
9Seseral days before the suicide,
Julius Hanson, fearing that his broth.
er might attempt to commit suicide
had searched all Of his clothine ex-
cept pair of pants which were hang
ing near the>b bed. Hanson i suopos
ed to have taken the oppo tu3ify
while his brother was down stairs, and
being too weak to get out OF bed
reached into the pocket of the pants
secured the revolver and placing it
into his mouth pulled the trigger
The revolver dropped under the left
arm the right hand partly covering il.
and that accounts for the brother mol
discovering the revolver when he iirsi
aiscoved that his brother WAS dead.
Coroner Gibson OF this city was
summoned, but dedided that aD III
quest was not necessary.
