Unknown Woman Taken to the Dea-
cOness' Institute.
An unconscious woman, we'll dressed
and apparently about fifty years of age,
is furnishing a mystery to the author1-
ties of the Norwegian Deaconess insti-
tute. Wednesday afternoon the city am
bulance was called to the Sunrise build
ing, First avenue south and Seventh
street, where a woman was found I'M
conscious in a room on the third floor.
She was taken to the Deaconess' insti-
tute, where all attempts to bring her to
consciousness have so far failed.
Last week the woman answered an adj
vertisement placed In the papers by Mrs.
Samuel Downs, who conducts candy
store across the street from the Sunrise.
Mrs. Downs lives in the room where the
woman was taken i'll from, but was in
her candy store at the time of the arri-
val of the ambulance. One of the tenants
of the block entered Mrs. Downs rooms
and discovered the woman in an uncon-
scious condition.
Mrs. Downs says that she suspected
the woman was mentally unbalanced.
When she was asked for her name she
hesitated and finally replied Mrs. Wat
kin, and informed Mrs. Downs that she
had several relatives in the city. Two of
her nephews, she said, are plumbers, but
she was unable to tell their addresses.

ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 22.-(Special.)
IS. S. Parr, city Superintendent of
schools is a very Sick man and his
physician and family are greatly alarmed
at his condition. tsMr. Parr, while never
man of robust health has been ailing
for some time but not until towards the
close of last week did he give up his work
and take to his bed. ,aIt was said that
symptoms of typhoid. fever were APP
parent, but this morning it is declared.
after a consultation of physicians, that
he has acute Bright's disease, with CON-
plications affecting the liver, and that the
lungs and the heart. are in bad condi-
ton. 1t is said that his system is thor
oughly impregnated with the poison and
it is feared that he will relapse into
comatose condition when the heart win
not sustain the vitality of the body and
that then the end will come. Everything
that science and loving care can suggest
is being done for him, and the bravest
may hope for change for the better.
Mr. Parr has been superintendent of
the schools of ST. Cloud for many years
and has brought them from a state of
medioerity to one in the very front rank
of educational circles of the state. He
bears the universal regard and esteem of
the people of the city, irrespective Of
creed or politics. He is a man whom ST.
Cloud can i'll afford to lose and the
fervent hope of every true friend of the
ST. Cloud schools is that he may be
spared to continued years of usefulness.

In the state chess tourney at Mime
apol.s yesterday Hillman, of st. Paul,
won the first prize, after a long days
battle.
In the third round Tierney was agrees
sive against Macleod, giving up kings
knight for the K B and the attack.
McEachran gave up bishop for three
pawns against Gould, gaining a very
strong center on the thirty-eighth move.
Hill disposed of Plantin in sixteen moves,
getting a brilliant mate. Lewis beat Par
sons quite handily, after the latter's care
less loss of bishop on the thirty-eighth
move. Spencer won a knight from Hulk
man and steadily pressed on to victory.
On the fourteenth move Stacy and Bige-
low were even in stuff, but Bigelow's
game was better. Elliott beat Buford,
who did not carry out his Danish on ap-
proved lines; 1t is dangerous gambit
for tourney, for, stoutly defended, is
an inevitable loss for white. Gould beat
McEachran after a stubborn fight of fif
ty-four moves
Gould and McEachran got early to-
gether for the final in the minor tourney
and Gould gave up a bishop for king s
rocks pawn without adequate position,
ton, in which he had to resign her for
knight. This play, of course, was as IA
tai as unexpected, for Gould had played
two very steady games previously.
Parsons and McEachran got together
and played very close game all through.
In the major tourney Bigelow and Sta
cy drew on the thirty-frst move, after
very careful, even game.
Hillman and Clark had a draw by ad-
judication, so the tourney came to an
unsatisfactory termination with Stacy,
Clark and Hillman tied for first place,
leaving the possibility of any one of them
winning
After arguing, the committee of super
vision decided that Bigelow and Stacy
were to play together, and Hillman and
Clark, hoping to get some way out Of
the muddle of their absurd rules. This
precipitated general play for minor po-
sltions, opening up endless possibilities
or some man beaten in the first round I'LL
t1mately being resuScitated into a first
class champion by the numerous draws
of the other contestants. Lewis was the
only happy man. He took his emblem of
victory and went off to sleep, leaving

Calls Attention to the National
Game in Minneapolis.

OslmG HI mlnneApOlISs
Complaint made by Charles Noreen to
the county attorney reveals that a SEN
sational shooting ARRAY, which almost re-
suited in murder. took place on Wednes-
day evening in the private poker room
located over Johnson:s saloon at 1919

1t is said that about $3.50 p. m, Murray
entered the place, and without saying a
word, suddenly drew revolver from his
pocket and commanded the half-dozen
men in the room to throw up their HANDS
and leave the place. 1t was apparent
that he meant business, and they stood
not upon the order of their going, but
proceeded to make a wild break for the
door.
AS the crowd of players scattered Muir
ray fired and one of the two shots struck
Noreen as he ran towards the door, end
passed in a diagonal direction through
his two coats and vest, finding lodgment
in window sash.
After the room had been cleared, which
was done In short order, Murray relieved
the cash box of SIS or $40.
Murray has been employed on the road
as a travelling man and until recently oc-
cupied apartments on Fifth street south,

BE Against Them.
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Feb. e.
Especial AT least so per cent of the job
bers who are operating in the woods of
the Northwest this winter will go
broke when they come to settle up.
This statement was. made on the street
here this afternoon by well known luln-
herman. When asked for reasons he
said that it was simpiy combination Of
circumstances that was working in a
manner disastrous to many of the small
loggers. In the first, place, owing to the
sharp competition and anxiety of the
loggers to obtain contracts, the prices re-
ceived from the timber owners to bank
logs would leave but a small margin for
the contractors, even if everything else
was favorable. But such is not the case.
The season has been Very late, and less
than three weeks ago many of the log
gers had not comnenced hauling. Wages,
too, have gone slkyward. The season is
now too far advanced for the loggers who
have long hauis and poor timber to hope
to catch up, and it is feared many of
them will be forced to retire after this
winter.

Movement of Beers In Attack at
COIensO.

LONDON, Feb. PA letter from Col.
de Villebois Mareuil, Gen Jcubert's chief
of staff, to whom the Boer victory at
Colenso Is mainly attributed by the
French papers, is published today. In
the course of this communication the
colonel says that two Of the Creusot
representatives rendered the Beers valu-
able aid. One named Greunberg, he adds,
is the head of their artillery, and the
other, Leon, is the head Of their en-
gineers Leon directed the hosting OF
Long Tom to the dizzy heights around
Ladysmith, and also arranged for the
victualing of the camps, which he him
self located.
The writer expresses admiration for the
organization and commissariat arrange
ments of the Boer camps. The burghers,
he says, get excellent meat, bread or bis
cult, coffee, rice, potatoes and other con-
diments with surprising libcrality. He
pays high tribute to the unsupported
military capabilities of the Boer Lead
ers and declares every detail OF the Boer
organization works like clock work.

relief column is uninterrupted. The Beers
Tuesday were forced from their last posi-
ton south of the Tugela, resulting in the
evacuation of Colenso, which was
promptly reoccupied by the Dublin fusi-
liers and Thorneycroft's horse. A Trans
vaal flag was captured, as was hand
kerchief inscribed with Gen. Botha's
name, This is treasured as great
trophy.
The Beers heavily ashelied Hlangwana
hill and Colenso Wednesday, Feb. q, and
the British advanced infantry was sub
jected to a severe musketry fire, but they
had excellent cover and the casualties
were few.
The Beers had the railroad running
from Colenso to Bulwana.
The British continue to discover large
quantities of ammunition. The Beers are
well supplied with food, and quantity
of provisions were left behind.
1t is expected that further resistance
will be half-hearted, and that Ladysmith
will be reached in few days.

Military Situation.
LONDON, Feb 23.-Spencer Wilkinson,
reviewing the military situation in the
Morning Post, says:
Lord Roberts, who was once an artil-
lery officer, will take care that the artil-
lery fire is properly concentrated. Pro-
Ionged shelling will compel the Beers
either TO hurl themselves at the British
infantry in the hope of forcing their way
out or to surrender.
1.-The best chance for Gen. Cronje would
be to make night attack. but the
bayonet will serve the British at night
as well as by day. There are, of course,
in war all sorts of chances party of
Beers from the north or the south might
cenceivably fall by surprise on some point
of the investing ring, and thus gain a
chance to escape for the beleagured
Beers, but the probabilities are that Gen.
Cronje viii be Compelled to surrender.
and thus at Paardeberg will be enacted
