lts Season viii Open October 18th with
Ernest Seton-Thompson

Ernest Seton-Thompson.
With the coming Of the fall months,

efforts is the Friday Evening Club,

stories. He was one of the chief il
Illustrators of the Century Dictionary.

rangements are pending and who may
be secured are DR.. Robert Stuart
Macarthur and DIR. Henry Van Dyke
of Princeton.
1t has BEEN suggested that the limit
Of membership be raised to three
hundred and fifty instead Of the orr
ginal three hundred, thus giving the
club an opportunity to secure even
more and better speakers and subjects,
and would give to the gatherings
even added interest.
The officers for the ensuing year
are; President, Hon. Norman Fox;
vice presidents, DR.. Charlton T. Lewis,

tary and treasurer, Charlton A. Reed

He SHOT In SCHOOL
Harry Poses, Aged "a, Tries to Com
NIT Suicide.
PANIC AMONG PUPILS FOLLOWED
The Boy Said He Wasn't Uaed Right
but Is Sorry for His
Act.

Harry Poses, IA years old, respondent
because he thought his condition unhappy
as compared with that of other boys,
tried to end his own life yesterday after
noon. While sitting in his seat at the
Jefferson school, the little fellow drew
revolver from his pocket, cooked 1t,
placed it against his breast and pulled the
trigger. A shot rang out which startled
the children at their studies. Then the
his side, tore open the clothing at his
boy cried out The teacher FASTENED to
neck and saw small stream of blood
trickling down the breast. Further in
vestigation showed that the wound was
very slight and there is no danger OF
death. Harry has been a familiar figure
on Fourth street between Hennepin and
Nicollet, where he sold papers. Grass
hopper" was his nickname.
For several days the boy had showed
signs of discomfort He entered the
seventh grade at the Jefferson school a
week ago last Monday He was absent
three days during the first week. On Fri
day several notes were found in his desk.
All these were OF melancholy nature, IN
which the boy said he was Respondent
and that this would be the cause Of his
death. In one of them he bade goodbye
to his friends. The principal intended
to speak with Harry about them, but he
returned to school Monday apparently
happy Tuesday he seemed in good
spirits. Yesterday he was glum. He did
not join the boys in their games at
recess. Soon after school was called after
the intermission he attempted to kill him
self.
No sooner had he fired the shot when he
cried out: Il have done it, but 1 am
sorry" Then the principal asked him to
be brave and bear the pain. The children
were terror stricken. The little girls
screamed. Then someone called Fire"
and the pupils were marched from the
building. Young Poses was carried to the
office where his wound was dressed.
School reassembled and order was re-
stored. When the classes were again at
work perfunctorily a note futtered from
the boys desk. The teacher picked it up.
1t read:
'Despondency will be the cause Of my
death"
Harry explained to the principal that
his home life had not been happy. He told
this pitiful story:
Dey's always a~pitchin' onto feller and
was jus gittin' tired at 1t. My mother chased
me out of the house once, and the other night
my father fired me out. An then dey've been
pitchin onto me right along. l don't know
if l wanted to kill myself or not-guess
did. 1t was gittin' pretty hard lines fer a
kid like me to be pitched onto right along.
An to-day when l see how happy the other
fellers at school was 1 JUS couldn't stand it
no longer, so l pulled out the gun and shot
myself.
The father and mother denied that
Harrys home life had been unhappy. MY
son must have been crazed," said the
former. Mr.. Poses said that his boys
association with other newsboys had
done him no good. The boy, however,
told the teacher that if he had been
treated as we'll at home as he had at
school he would not have desired to die.

MINNIE HAS MONEY
Latest Bank Statements Will Bear
Close Analysis.
COMPARISONS ARE SIGNIFICANT
Minneapolis Deposits Nearly Double
Those of st. PauI-SpIendid In
crease in Eight Months.

An analysis Of the bank statements
published In Tuesdays ournal dis
closes gratifying showing for Minneapo-
lis. These statements, as far as the ma
tional banks are concerned, are called for
by the controller for publication five times
year, at irregular intervals. The state
banks report at the call OF the public
examiner, General Pope, and are not
necessarily coincident with the national
bank statements. At this time all of the
local banks have reported together, which
makes Interesting comparisons possible.
The deposits foot up S43, ,000,0 900, almost
double st. PauPs $23,0000O0. The increase
in deposits for the last eight months, or
since publication of the February state
ments, is $6,700,000, a sum in excess of
the combined capital Of the banks of the
city. The increase of one bank alone is
greater than the entire increase in de-
posits in St. Paul banks, which was
81, 700, 00O
This gain of $6,7O0 900 is apportioned
principally among the following banks:
First National, $4,000, 900; Northwestern
National, 100000; National Bank of
Commerce, $1,00O,O00; Security, $3.50, 900;
Swedish American National, $575,O0O;
other banks, 81 ,075,0
The major part of the St. Paul increa se
is divided as follows:
First National, $3.50 900; Merchants Ma
tional, 1890, 900; Second National, $780,
900; st. Paul National $150,0O0 Scandi-
navian American, $3.50, ,000
Said a prominent banker to-day:
These figures show that there is an in
creasng tendency OF outlying business to find
its way to our city. The increase in i'm
portance Of Minneapolis as a commercial
center naturally attracts business along
financial lines While in years past the coun-
try banker felt that it was rather to his
credit to do business with the capital city
he now feels that his business Is best con-
served by a Minneapolis connection This
feeling is especially marked in the far north
western states and in South Dakota and Iowa.
that have heretofore not felt the same neces-
sity for Minneapolis correspondent. All
this is very gratifying and is only one OF
many straws proving the stability of our
institutions, both financial and commercial.

FRIENDS OF PARK PLAN
Col. Cooper and Ferdinand Peck
VISIT Leech LIKE.

Colonel J. S. Cooper. of Chicago, the
father of the forest reserve movement,
passed through Minneapolis yesterday on
his way to Leech Lake. He was accom-
panied by his family, Ferdinand w. Peck
and family and Charles l. Peck and family,
of Chicago, and will have a weeks out
ing in the country which he wished con-
verted into a national park. Colonel
Cooper is till hopeful that congress will
finally approve his idea He thinks the
former obstinate opposition to the park is
dying out and that many converts have
been made of the once avowed enemies of
the project.
Colonel Peck, who was director general
of the American exhibit at the Paris eX-
position, is an enthusiastic supporter Of
the national park idea. He will accom-
pany Colonel Cooper to Washington this
winter in order to assist in inducing con-
gress to consider the project favorab bly,.
Colonel Peck thinks it high time that a
halt should be called on unrestricted lum-
bering operations which now threaten to
denude the state of forests in a short
time.

LOCAL LINEMEN QUIET
No sympathetic Strike Among N. w
Phone Co.'S Men.

So far as officials of the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company have been
able to discover, the strike of Chicago
telephone linemen has as yet had no effect
On the local situation. Superintendent of
Construction Dwyer, who has just returned
from Fargo, said this morning that he had
heard no rumors Of sympathetic strike
in Minneapolis, and he discredited the re-
port that the Chicago rupture would prob
ably bring on general strike throughout
the country.
The Chicago company is practically the
same as the Bell company, being con-
trolled largely by the same interest and
having been built UP by the same system
Of patents as the Bell company. Should
the general strike take effect, more than
1900 Iinemen of the Bell company and
allied systems would be involved
AS the Northwestern company is an ''al-
lied interest" it would probably be af-
fected

FRUIT CROP FAILURE
That in New York Aids Sugar Trust
in Its War.

The failure of the New York fruit crop
and the increased production in raw sugar
all aid the sugar trust in it's fight against
beet sugar. The failure Of the fruit crop
lessons the amount Of sugar used for can
ming purposes and having a large surplus
stock on hand, it appears the sugar trust
has seized upon this as a most opportune
time for its fight on beet sugar refners.
1t is believed the trusts cut will serious
ly iniure the beet sugar industry.
