MANKATO NORMAL SCHOOL STU.
DENT BECOMES SUDDENLY AND
VIOLENTLY INSANE
STARTED A MERRY BLAZE
It's OppOrtune Discovery by Mem
bers of the Family Prevented
Any Serious Damage
Being Done.

MANKATO, Mimi, Oct. 23.-(Special.)
Miss Erna Weschke, daughter of the
mayor of New Ulm, attempted to burn
the house where she was rooming, and
was today pronounced insane and taken
to st. Joseph's hospital She has been
violent during the day, but Is improved
tonight. She was a student at the Man.
kato normal school, and is a graduate
of the New Ulm high school The fam
lily with whom the young lady was
boarding was at the opera house last
night when the latter made the attempt
to burn the house.
When Mrs Lucy A. Olmsted and fam
lily, with whom she boarded, returned
from the opera house last night a five
gallon can of gasoline, nearly full, which
was kept in the cellar, was ablaze. Oil
had been scattered over and around the
can and was blazing nearly to the cell
ing when discovered by Mrs. Olmsted.
An alarm was sounded and firemen
arrived in time to carry out the blazing
can before it exploded. The property
damaged was small.
When the members of the family left
in the early evening they locked all the
outside doors, although Miss Weschske
and Miss Florice Payne, of Welcome,
were occupying rooms in the upper
story.
Miss Weschske has been acting very
qucer!y for several days. Yesterday she
mace the remark that she was going to
take poison or burn herself to death.
After the Olmsted family left last night
she was very uneasy, according to Miss
Payne, her roommate, and frequently
went in and out of the room entering
the lower apartments. Once, when she
had returned she said to Miss Payne
that if she died she wanted to have her
body taken to New Ulm for burial.

discuss general conditions and decide upon
prices for the current year.
The meeting was held in the office of
Joseph Bardles, manager Of the Mime
apoiis and ST. Paul division, and mana
gers from all the Northwest agencies were
present.
Two most important announcements
were made, which will mean thousands
of dollars in the pockets of large con-
sumers of lubricating and Irvine oil. The
price of the former was reduced from
q to 18 cents a gallon, and that on the
latter from 1915 to fraction over IL
cents.
This decrease was stated to be made
possible on account of a drop N the price
of crude OIL Several large city firms,
which have contracted for supplies at
the old prices, will be given the benefit
Of the reduction.
Among those present were: J. A. Moi
Iatt, Chicago, manager Western division:

railroad from West Virginia at 100
o'clock this morning. an hour late. AS
the train pulled in amid cheers of the
waiting crowd, ex-Judge William NJ.
Springer, former chairman of the house
committee on ways and means, an old
colleague and warm friend of the Demo-
cratic candidate. stepped to Mr.. Bryans
private car at the rear of the train and
welcomed him. The two were taken to

was the only other guest. A few min
utes before o'clock Mr.. Bryan was
driven to the Baltimore & Ohio depot,
where he made brief speech from his
automobile He spoke on Imperialism
and civil service. About 5000 people
were massed about the depot.
Mr.. Bryan said:
Occasionally 1 hear it suggested that
persons engaged in the civil service VINO
are opposed to Imperialism Will vote
the Republican ticket for fear or losing
their positions with the government. Ger
tainly there are not many who would
prefer government employment under an

appointments would be made upon merit
and wherein the appointees would hold

upon the will of an appointing officer.
The industrial despotism now in5auIgur at
door of opportunity against the young
man and driving many to seek govern
ditions would be employed in producing

Mr.. Bryan closed with the statement
that it was not his highest ambition to
be president "but to make this govern
ment so good that to be a private citi-
zen in this republic will be greater
honor than to be king in any other
nation"

two women in each hundred for whom
no complete cure was possible have in
general acknowledged a great improve,

frequent and less painful, backache great

Chairman Jones Wants to Know the
Peace Commissions Instructions.
CHICAGO, - Oct. Ex-senator Jones,
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee. made the following statement
today:
1.-The instructions given to the commits
sioners on the part of the United States
to negotiate the treaty with Spain in
Paris in 1898 have never, so far as know,
been made public.
when the treaty was before the SEN
ate for ratification there was great de-
mand that these instructions should be
made public. So great was the desire
for information that many newspapers
side informa ton about what these in
structions contained. But for some rea-
son, and doubtless not an unimportant
one, this desire was not gratified.
1.-THE president, in his letter of accept
ance, quoted part of these, as l I'M
derstand, secret instructions. | address
ed him in a note Oct. 5, calling his at
tention to this fact and requested that
inasmuch as the part of the instructions
which he considered favorable to the
position of his political party was so
used by him, the remainder should be
that the president of the United States
would use part Of a secret document for
the advancement of his personal fortunes
and the interests of his own political
party, and at the same time refuse to
the public the remainder Of this docu-
swer from the president. I have now
waited for more than two weeks and
have not had the honor of an acknowl-
edgment even of the receipt Of my note"

AT WASHINGTON.
Brttish-German Understanding Is
Under Consideration.


WASHINGTON, = Oct. 23. - 1t is not
the purpose of the state department to
act upon the suggestion contained in the
BritishGerman agreement respecting
China, and give it it's adherence for sew
eral days at least. The subject is one of
sufficient Importance To warrant careful
consideration and especially is it desir-
able that some further light be shed upon
the third clause of the agreement before
the United States acts, though it is not
doubted that at least a qualified adher-
ence will be given.
The department is in correspondence by
cable with Mr.. Conger, who is advising it
freely of the various propositions that
arise before the body of ministers resi-
dent in Pekin, who are now in conform
ity with the terms of the French note,
consulting with the object of beginning
negotiations with the Chinese govern
ment. 1t cannot be gathered, however,
that any marked progress has been
achieved.

Few women, # any, shrink from the
passing pain of maternity. All they ask
is to feel the chifd's heart beating against
their own as they hold it in strong arms

How rarely the mothers strength keeps

Often the baby is laid against a breast
that cannot nourish 1t. and folded in

burden. The woman who is strong and
whose abundant vitality enables her to

looked upon as marvel. She is con,
