sJOBLOM FOR PRESIDENT.
Annual Election of Officers of the
Lutheran Conference.

CAMBRIDGE, Mimi, May A.-(Special.)
The most important work of the sec
ond days session of the Swedish Luth-
eran conference was the election of Of
1icers for the ensuing year as follows:
President, DR.. P. SjoblOm, of Triumph
Mimi; vice president, Rev L. G. AL
men (re-elected); secretary, Rev Philip
Thelander, Saltwater; treasurer, Rev. L.
B. Bergstrom, of Winthrop.
The selection of DR.. Sjoblom for presi-
dent meets with general satisfaction
For nearly half a century he has been
closely identified with the Lutheran
church in this state. Some years ago
he held the office for several terms and
is acknowledged the most experienced
and skillful parliamentarian among the
Swedes in America. While advanced in
years he is a progressive man, and will
keep thoroughly in touch with the diff
ferent elements in the church
The rest of the days session was
taken up chiefly with the reading and
discussion Of the annual report of the
president. From the report it appeared
that the conference had been steadily
growing. Parochial and Sunday schools
conducted throughout the conference are
generally in a flOurishing condition Some
few congregations complain of exorbi-
tant taxes, while the synod of the North
west received its share of censure for
doing proselyting work in several con-
gregations of the conference. Seven
new churches have been erected and
dedicated within the year and fourteen
ministers have been installed
Some time was given to the considera>
ton of several reports from churches,
on secret societies. Three congrega tons
have taken action on this question and
pray the conference to give a more lib
eral Interpretation to the clause adopted
by the general synod at its meeting
in st. Peter some years ago. The whole
matter was referred to a committee and
will be considered at some later session.

JOHN VOGE FINDS PARIS GREEN A
SUCCESSFUL MEANS OF

Ing without Her
Consent.
LCEE'S KfRHEAP0LiS OFFICE.
y 20 WASHINGTON ~. SOUTH.

John VOge, seventy-two years old, liv-
ing at 1926 Vincent street north took a
handful of Paris green yesterday after
noon with suicidal intent, and died at
o'clock last night The cause of his
seIf-destruction was remorse for the
manner in which daughter had been
treated in the matter of her mother 8
viii. This was his third attempt at his
life
The daughters say that at o'clock
yesterday afternoon they went outside
and noticed their father staggering
around the garden in which he was
working. They both went out TO see
what the matter was, and as they came
near him he fell to the ground. The
hired man came upon the scene at this
time, and he was carried to the house,
where a quantity of Paris green was
found on his beard and clothes. DR.. P
NJ. Hall was sent for. He gave emetics,
but without success, and the old man
died at Z o'clock
He and his wife owned a small farm
in Robbinsdale. The wife died last sum-
mer, and Will was left, which cut one
daughter off with IS, because she had
married against the wishes of her par
ents. The daughter went to live in Chi
cago, but came back to Minneapolis to
try to break the will She won her case
in the district court, and an appeal was
taken and is still pending. Two weeks
ego the old man went to see the daugh-
ter in South Minneapolis, and after the
visit appeared to be more melancholy
than usual. The daughters say that he
has been acting queer since then, and
that he worried to such an extent over
the family trouble that he killed himself
He was born in Germany and was a gar
dener. He leaves four daughters and one
son.
