cred at night when the charge slips for

Mrs Bessie Kerr, the wife of Edward
Kerr, blacksmith, attempted to commit
suicide late yesterday afternoon by shoot
ing herself in the breast. The bullet en-.
tered the right side Of the chest, and
had not been located as yet up to a late
hour. She was removed to the North
western hospital, where it is believed she
will recover.
The couple have for some time been
boarding with Mr.. and Mrs George c.
Townsend, 3017 Fifteenth avenue SOUTH
and occupied the front room of the house
The woman was in there when the hus-
band returned home from work last night,
He went in to her, and a few moments
later stepped out into the dining room, 1t
being noticed by Mr.. Townsend that some
words had been exchanged The husband
had barely gotten out of the room be-
fore a shot was heard. Mr. Townsend
rushed in to where she was, and found
her lying on the bed. She did not COM
plain Of any pain, simply muttering that
she wanted to die. A physician was hur-
riedly summoned, after which she was
removed to the hospital. AS she was be,
ing carried out she requested Mrs. Town
send to write to her mother in Pennsyl
Vania in case she should die. During the
entire time that they were waiting for
the physician and ambulance she repeat
eddy expressed the hope that she would
die
There is something mysterious about
the affair, as the neighbors figure it, Mr.
Kerr is known as an honest, hard-work-
ing man, who has boarded with the
Townsends a long time. The couple has
been married several years, tut she hs 8

HIS GRACIOUS MAJESTY.
The Kaiser Hands Himself a Few
More B0uuuetS

BERLIN, Oct. A.-Emperor William
and Empress Augusta Victoria today
dedicated with elaborate ceremony the
suspension railway which runs along
the River Wiper and connects Elber-
field and Barmen, a high ingenious
structure The kaiser made the initial
ride of the line.
Subsequently his majesty attended the
dedication of Hall of Fame In Barmen:
Replying to an address, by the burgo-
master, the emperor warmly acknowledge
ed on behalf of the empress and him
self, the cordial reception rendered him
by the people of the town. 'T am happy
to say" he remarked that my mother $
condition allows me to pay this visit to
Barmen, although the joyous beating Of
my heart is till troubled by the shadow
that hangs over her. She requested me
to greet the city in her name"
Referring to Barmens distinguished
commercial and Industrial history, his
majesty said:
1T has always been my first aim and
greatest task to maintain peace as far
as possible for my people and It's working
classes and I believe I gave a fresh proof
of this desire only a few days ago. The
agreement with the most powerful Teu-
tonic state outside of our own nation
will, I hope. in the future, be a guarantee
for common efforts in the open markets
of the world for our two nations, in

THE STRENUOUS TEDDY.
He Continues His Tour of the En-
"pire State.


e. UTICA. N. Y, Oct. 2.-Gov. Roose-
velt's third day of campaigning in New
York state embraced several features NOT
heretofore marked In his reception at
other places AT nearly every place at
which he stopped en- route there were
huge crowds of people.
In this city tonight instead of speech
making, the days work ended with a re-
view Of an immense 1emonstra ten. This
was entirely, agreeable to Gov Roosevelt,
who, during the day had made nine
speeches. some of them extremely long
ones, while travelling through three coun-
tfes-Chenango, Madison and Oneida.
The second feature of the days trip
was the meeting here Of the vice presi-
Dental candidate and United States Son
ator Depew, and the grouping together
upon one stage in this city within a
period of three hours of ex-Conptrol!er
of the Currency Eckels, United States
Senator Depew and Gov. Roosevelt.
The third feature was a preconcerted
attempt at Rome to compel Gov. Roose-
welt to answer questions concerning the
letter of Mayor Van Wyck. the prosecu-
ton of the Ice trust, the prosecution Of
the alleged canal thieves, and others re-
lating to the Office of governor.
That this attempt was preconcerted is
assured from the fact that meE in the
crowd asked questions, holding in their
hands printed slips and upon their fail
ure to compel the candidate to answer,
numbers OF these slips were thrown into
his carriage. The governor positively de-
clfned to give any expression of opinion
AS to the circulars, or their authorship or
to answer any of the questions contained
in them. With the exception of short
trip of half an hour to Herkimcr, where
brief address was made, the culminat t.
ing speeches of the day were at two i'm
