TRIED TWICE TO DIE.
w. j. Stager Beat His Head and
Then Hanged Himself.

W.. Stager, a painter, 32 years old,
employed at the Northern Pacific
shops, made an unsuccessful attempt
at suicide Wednesday afternoon at his
place of employment by striking him.
self over the head with coupling pin.
The would-be suicide only succeeded in
rendering himself unconscious, and
when he recovered was taken to the
Prior avenue police station. Stager
seemed thoroughly imbued with the
idea Of self-desruction, however, and
shortly before o'clock yesterday
morning made a moose out Of his neck
tie and suspenders, by means of which
he tried to hang himself to the door of
his cell. The heavy breathing of the
man attracted the attention Of Lieut.
Budy, and he was cut down in time to
save his life. Yesterday afternoon
Stager was removed to the city hos
pital, where it yas reported that
neither attempt at taking his life had
produced any serious consequences,
and that he would be around again in
few days. That Stager intended to
kill himself was evidenced by a note
found upon his person bidding good
bye to his parents and wife and child
of whom he begged forgiveness for his
contemplated deed. The man secured
a divorce from his wife some time
ago, and the separation is assigned as
a cause for his attempts at suicide.
Stager has lived at Hamline for the
past wear.

LOST HIS BEARINGS.
Printer Killed. I'M the Elevator of
the Globe Building.

frank Haskelb a midower living with
MS FAMILY at 12S West Fillmore ave-
nue., was killed by falling down an ele-
Vator shaft in the Globe building some
tlme wednesday night, When Peter
Jansen the Janitor of the building,
Went to work at % o'clock yesterday
morning, his first act was to procure
a lantern in the basement, and start
TO the upper floors upon the freight
elevator: He heard an unusual graf
ing as the elevator ,ascended. He re-
Versed the lever and instituted an in
vestlgatlon, which resulted in the find
ing OF Haskells dead body on the top
OF the car. Jansen gave the alarm, and
Lieut.. Bahe, of the central police sta
t1on, was soon on the scene Coroner
w Wmtcomb was at tonce notified, and
had the body removed to the under
taxing rooms of Quinby & Abbott, The
man was not identified until yesterday
afternoon The coroner is of the opin-
ION that Eiaskell's death was purely
accldental. and it is probable that no
inquest will be held.
Haskell was a member Of Typogranh-
1cal Union No. 80, and for the past
fifteen years had been employed as a
compositor on the G To- e.
1t is thought that Haskell, who had
probably been drinking, became con-
fused In his ideas, and, mistaking the
oIu 0ioOe pulldlnS Tor MS place of en-
ployment, entered it late in the evening
under the impression that he was 60
Ing to work. While the G l O occu-
pied the building at Fourth and Cedar.
1t was customary for the printers. in
ascending to the composing rooms, to
take the freight elevator from the sec
ond Hoor, operating the machinery
themselves, and the theory is that
Haskell was endeavoring to make this
trip when he met his death. The doors
Of the elevator shaft on the second
hoor were found open yesterday, show
ing that Haskell probably reached out
70 start the elevator from the ground
floor, when he lost his balance and fell
to his death.
The dead man leaves a family Of
five children, two boys and three girls.
the eldest of whom is a girl of about
twenty-five years. Frank, the elder Of
the two boys, is a student at the Cen
tral High school, and carries a route
for the G o b e.
The deceased was a member of the
Junior Pioneers, and had resided in ST.
Paul for about twenty-five years. The
funeral will be held from the New Je-
rusalem church, Selby and Virginia
avenues, Sunday afternoon at o'clock.
The chapel of the Gf1o composing room
met last evening and decided to send a hand
some doral tribute. out of respect for the de-
ceased. The funeral will be attended by a
large representation Of his late associates.
The Junior Pioneer association also sends
a floral Offering. s

II. burton Holmes, Second Talk
About ;Fez


E. Burton Holmes delivered the second of
series Of six lectures at the Peoples church
last night, completing the lecture on "Mo-
rocco" The last days in the interesting city
OF Fee were spent in the Jewish quarter The
habitations of the Jews. who were required
10 live separate and apart from the Moors,
were small straw buildings, and filthy in the
extreme. In Morocco, the Jews suffer more
persecution than perhaps in any other coun-
try on the globe, not alone by the Moors but
by their own people. The Rabbis and wealth.
Ter Jews infiict terrible hardships upon the
poorer classes. One view of a Jewish girl
fourteen years Of age who was thrice a
widow and the mother of four children was
decidedly interesting.
~ The university Of Fez. which has over TO-
VoO students, was once the greatest institu-
uon OF learning in the world. The highest
branches Of philosophy and mathematics -four
lsned here, and sons of Spanish and English
noDIemen were sent here to be educated
Four hundred of the students receive their
daily bread from endowment fund of the
fourth century. After spending eleven days
IN IN Fez, the caravan began its journey across
the Ben1 Hassan plains to the Atlantic sea-
journey which was most exciting and peril
Gus. A night of deep anxiety was spent at
IwaXit, where the party had stopped un-
der the care of the governor. The village was
twice attacked by Zimoors, who were con-
stantly waging war with neighboring tribes
One killed and one wounded was the result of
the encounter, and next day the tourists re-
sumed their journey toward the Atlantic On
the way they met a convoy of imperial wives
journeying toward Mehedia where Abel-el-
AziZ, the favorite son of the aged sultan was

superbly mounted horsemen.

of the nominees and platform of the
Republican party.
When the body was organized two
years ago many supposed that the in
tention was to aid a particular candi-
date. The association stood aloof. how
ever, until conventions had been held
before exerting its influence. The edi-
tors, as an organization, will take the
same course this year.
The committee decided yesterday to
call the annual meeting and election
for 3 p. M, March 25. This is the day
after the Minneapolis convention for
the election Of delegates to st. Louis.
The Republican league clubs will meet
on the morning of the 25th, and in the
evening the editors can attend the big
ratification meeting at which Gov.
Bradley, of Kentucky, and H. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, are expected to
speak.
A singular incident of yesterdays ses-
sion was the unanimous election to
membership in the association of H. P.
Hall, eX-editor of the Daily Call, of this
city and other Democratic newspapers.
Mr.. Hall thanked the committee with
cordiality, but did not say whether his
new affiliations would impair the
staunchness of his Democracy.

The MankatO Editor Can Go If He
Chooses.
A politician familiar with the situa-
tion in the Second district told a
G. Il o b reporter yesterday that Reed
was running far behind Mckinley in
that part Of the state.
"The Ohio Napoleon" said this gen
tleman, sis a great favorite every
where in the Second district, and he
seems to be growing stronger. Davis
is pretty we'll backed down there, too,
but nobody believes that he stands
much show Of being nominated. Our
delegation will go to Minneapolis unin-
structed, but I think they'll all favor
doing what they can for Davis, who is
credit to any state in the Union.
There isn't any doubt that Hunt, OF
the rMankato Press, can go to st. Louis
if he wants to. He isn't making any
fight for the place, but he'll be either
a district delegate or a delegate at
large Everybody knows that he IA
vors. Davis and will vote for Davis as
long as the Minnesota man has a fight
ing chance, but he probably won't
want TO go to st. Louis with a string
on him. After Davis, the delegates
from our district will no doubt prefer
to vote for Mckinley, or whoever looks
like the best available man."

OLD FREMONT LICENSE.
1t Keeps the Assembly Committee
on Licenses Busy.

on Licenses Busy.
The assembly committee on license
held another session yesterday after
noon for the purpose of considering the
application of Oscar Tankenoff for a
license to conduct a saloon at Eighth
and Robert streets in the building
known as the fremont. Rev. David
Morgan was on hand, as usual, and so
was Deacon Wilson.
Mr.. Tankenoff informed the commit
tee that his intention was to establish
Jewish hotel at the old fremont, for
the accommodation of his Hebrew
friends and others of that nationality
who are employed in the various busi-
ness houses of the city. He assured the
respectable establishment that would
in no wise resemble the character Of
the place under it's former manage
ment. William Hamm vouched for the
sincerity of Mr.. Tankenoff
Rev. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Wilson,
however. were sceptical regarding the
ability of Mr. Tankenoff to conduct a
respectable place. They pointed out the
fact that his saloon on the northeast
corner of Sixth and Minnesota had a
bad reputation. Mr.. Wilson recited a
lot of hearsay charges against the
place, and Mr.. Morgan reminded the
committee that Mr.. Tankenoff was one
of the saloonkeepers who pleaded guilty
last fall Of keeping wine rooms and was
fined therefor, consequently Mr.. Nor
gan doubted the wisdom Of granting
him license to run a saloon at the old
fremont.
1t was shown that Immediately after
he was fined Mr.. Tankenoff had not al
lowed any women to enter his place,
had nailed up the doors leading to the
rear of the saloon, and had ever since
conducted his place in an unobjection-
able manner.
Cant a man reform?" inquired
Chairman Van Slyke, addressing Mr..
Morgan.
Rev. Mr.. Morgan (doubtfully)-Well,
he may.
Mr.. Van Slyke-If he can't reform,
you had better change your occupa-
ton.
On motion Of Mr.. Arosin the commit
tee decided to refer the application to
the assembly without any recommen-
dation.
The committee recommended the
granting of a license to William En-
inert to conduct his saloon at Eighth
and Jackson streets.

CHOSE NEW Committeeman.
Republicans of City and County Get
Together.

The Republican county committee
met last evening at the rooms of the
Lincoln club in the Endicott building,
President f. B. Doran in the chair.
Fifteen of the thirty members of the
city committee being present took eX-
ception to a proposal that the work of
the campaign be performed as it was
two years ago by a joint committee
from the city and county organiZa-
tions. The city committee had never
been formally abolished, and owing to
primaries and conventions having ac-
quired by recent Legislative enactments
a legal status it was apprehended on
the part of the city committee that
The acts of a joint committee might be
illegal. The city committeeman pres
ent being a quorum, were therefore
called to order by their chairman, Ed
Vanish, and decided to cooperate with
the county committee as before provid-
ing the officers of both committees
signed their names and titles to the
convention call and similar documents.
In executive session afterwards
eleven members We're chosen to con-
stitute a joint body representing both
city and county committees. This
Joint committee will arrange the basis
of apportionment and fix the date for
the city convention. The committee
will meet at p. m today at the rooms
of the Lincoln club. The joint COM
mittee consists Of: First ward, Harry
Sundberg; Second, F. w. Zollman;
Third, J. c. Richert; Fourth, E. D.

COMO AVENUE BOULEVARD.
1t Is Considered by the Board of
Public Works.

The preliminary order for widening
Como avenue, between Dale and Union
streets, from 80 to 100 feet, was consid-
cred by the board of public works yes
terday afternoon. The Improvement
called for is part of the general scheme
for boulevarding the entire avenue
from Rice street to Como Park, which
was submitted to the councill last fall
by the park board. The interested
property owners were present. Gen. An
drews, who represented certain East
ern property owners, was inclined to
object to the widening, as it would ne
cessitate the acquisition of ten feet of
the property in question on each side
of the avenue. Being informed that
Gov. Ramsey, who owns forty acres of
land bordering on both sides of the ave-
nue., had consented to donate ten feet
on each side in consideration of being
relieved from any assessment for the
Improvement, Gen. Andrews agreed to
make the same concession on the same
terms The board then laid the mat
ter over until next Thursday, and In
structed the city engineer in the mean
time to indicate on the plans what
buildings, if any, would have to be
moved back in order to permit Of the
widening of the avenue.
