neeting to Consider Hotels and Land Trans.
fer System
A slimly attended meeting of the Mer-
chants association was held last evening
in it's rooms in the old chamber of COM
merce building on Main street. About
twenty members were present and listened
with interest to the expounding of the new
and H. &. Wiltshire. The former gentle
man presented facts and figures regarding
the proposed hotel and the anticipated cost
of land, buildings and furnishing. 1t is
hoped to be able to raise 100000 for the
project, 100000 to be expended for the
building, $4,000 for the grounds, and the
balance will furnish all necessities required
to throw open the doors to the travelling
public.
Something over 100000 has already
been subscribed to the stock of the associa-
ton, and Mr.. Wiltshire asked the endorse
ment and cooperation of the merchants
in his scheme. The Silent hotel PROPOSE
ton was also represented by Mr.. Lewis.
who contented himself with remark now
and then. He saw no reason why the two
hotels should not be built, and thought that
each could do good business. A lively
discussion followed the presentation of Mr..
Wilshire's plan, in which several speakers
stated that they thought the property own
ers should be the ones first approached on
tne suDJects aIter tneID the mercnants'
The latter were always to the
front in every enterprise, but in this case
the land owners were the ones primarily
benefited.
Occasion was taken to score the news
papers for their lack of public spirit in
matters of this kind in that they did not
come forward with good round subscrip-
ton. 1t was remarked that the papers
did not take hold and push these things as
they should, wanting to be paid for so
doing. A motion was finally passed that
the chairman, Mr.. Frank, appoint CONS

FOUND BLEEDING TO DEATH
AN ELDERLY ALSATIAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
IN HIS ROOM
Dashed His Wrist With Bread Knife Fourteen
Inches Long-Taken to the Receiving Hos
pitaI and Patched Up-WiIl Do a Better Job
Next Time

A desperate but unsuccessful attempt at
suicide was last evening made by Henry
Keller, an Alsatian SO years old, in his
room over the saloon at the corner of Ar
cadia and Los Angeles streets. Keller is a
pastry cook by occupation, but for some
time has been out of employment. Ee has
been stopping with French family at 401
North Los Angeles street, the premises
above noted, and has been doing little
work in his line in return for his board and
room.
Numerous endeavors have been made by
him to secure steady employment, but all
were unsuccessful. Being out of money
and respondent, he resolved to take his
own life. Accordingly he secured huge
bread knife about fourteen inches long and
retired to his room to die. With this wea-
pom he cut and slashed away at his right
wrist until he ethought he had the artery
severed. and then calmly lay down on the
bed to bleed to death.
About o'clock he was discovered lying
was summoned. He was quickly conveyed
to the receiving hospital in the patrol
wagon, where DIR. Ainsworth dressed his
wound. 1t was found that the artery had
not been injured, although terrible cash
clear across the wrist had by miracle
just missed it. Many smaller vessels and
veins had been cut and the loss of blood

to close the edges of the cut, after which
the wrist was bandaged and Keller made
comfortable in bed.
He soon regained strength and talked
freely. Death would be welcomed by him
as boon, and, although he has failed
this time he calmly informed his attend
ants that it would not be long before he
made another and better attempt. He
seems to have proud nature, and the
thought of being dependent upon charity
is repulsive to him, SO much SO that death
is preferable.

the ground that the information before Re-

OnJy Partially Heard

The examination of Mehan and Morino,
charged with rape on the person of little
Lydia Brown, was partially had in the
township Justices court yesterday, and
continued until several important wit
nesses could be secured. The child was
put upon the stand and told her story.
She said that Mehan had been intimate
with her once, about two years ago, when
she was about II years of age, and again
about year ago. She refused to say any
thing that would incriminate Morino A
Mexican woman named Dominguez was
also examined as to the state of affairs
existing. She said that she had been living
with man for five years, hut had never
been married, and that others were living
in the same way.
The child is not very bright, and under
cross-examination she became much con-
fused and contradicted herself on num-
ber of points. 1t is not believed, however,
that there will be any difficulty in holding
tile men, as it is alleged that Morino has
confessed that he has been intimate with
the girl.
The habeas corpus proceedings before
Judge Mckinley were continued until ar
rangements can be made for caring for the
Brown children, which will probably be
today.

the libellous statement was made land

KlNDERGARTENS ADVANCE.
Closing Exercises of the Little
Folks.

The kindergarten room at the Nor
NAL school could not begin to hold the
people who gathered there at nine
o'clock this forenoon to witness the
closing exercises. The parents of the
little ones were largely in evidence, and
those who came early had reason to
congratulate themselves on their fore
thought.
The exercises passed off even more
perfectly than usual which is saying
good deal. Miss Barr, and her as
sistants, Miss Alice Williams and
Miss Alice f. Knights, have done a
good work during the school year, as
was evidenced by the conduct and &C
complishments of the bright and at
tractiye class which occupied the cir
Gle of little chairs in the center of the
room. The nature of the exercises
was much the same as in the past, in
Guiding singing, etc. All of the little
tots were dressed in their best clothes
and entered into the spirit of the af-
fair thoroughly, but they did not en-
joy the hour more than the spectators
did.
The following are those who gradu-
ated this forenoon:
Lois Alleman, Frank Avery, James
Baker, Ruth Bradley, Ned Burdick,
Bertha Leese, Katie Leese, Gladys
Morrison, Margaret Pond, Florence
