The Governor Suggests Lafayette
In his remarks relative to the
changes in the judiciary, Gov.
Heard suggests that Lafa
yette be selected as one of the
places where the circuit court
should sit. The governor recOg-
nizeS the very suitable position
of this town and it's accessibility
to the different parishes in South
Louisiana. When the time comes
to make the selections, should
the governor plan be submitted
to the people, the advantages of
this town should be properly
presented to the Legislature or
to the committee which will look
into this matter We note that
Lake Charles wants to be Sc
lected and that an effort will be
made to have the claims of that
town recognized. Lake Charles
is Il splendid town, but it is en-
tirely too far out of the way.
We believe Lafayette offers the

SMELLING AVENUE
1T is EVIDENTLY
CASE OF SUICIDE
Position of the Body Indicates Tha,
the Man Laid Down on the Track
His Head Is Completely Severed
Motorman Saw Him When Only Ten
Feet Away.

"A Polish laboring man, apparently
about thirty years of age, was be-
headed by an Interurban car, bound for
st. Paul at IL: 50 this morning on Uni
Verslty avenue, between Smelling ave-
nuc and Albert street.
The car was crowded and was run
nlng at speed of about thirty miles
an hour. and the mans head was COM
pletely severed and left hanging only
by a thread of flesh. His shoulder
was crushed and his arms broken.
Saw Him Only Ten Feet Away.
Morotman Theodore Schoening was
In charge of the car, which is one of
the new ones, equipped with an air
brake, and says that he did not see the
man until he was about ten feet away
from him. He applied the brakes, but
was unable to stop the car before it
struck the unfortunate man.
From the position Of the body it is
believed that the man laid down on the
track with the intention of committing
suicide. His collar, necktie, coat and
vest were found by telegraph pole
near where he was struck by the car
and he was lying with his head lust
over the track upon which the cars
bound for st. Paul run.
Name on Religious Gard.
Upon the man was found a Polish
prayer book and a picture of the Vir-
gin, upon the back of which was writ
ten We'll K. Biookf, which is supposed
to be the mans name. This name does
not appear in the local directory.
Conductor H. Pieeper was in charge
of the car and the suddenness with
which the motorman brought it to a
stop shook up the passengers severely.
The coroner was notified and went at
once to the scene of the accident.

Chauncey Olcott in "Old Limerick
Town" will close his engagement at
the Metropolitan opera house with two
performances today, a popular price
matinee this afternoon and the fare
well performance tonight. The week
has been remarkable for big business
and crowded houses, and several rec
ords have been broken. The advance
sale for the matinee is very large, but
there are plenty of good seats left
for the evening performance.
When "Way Down East" is seen
again at the Metropolitan the coming
week, it will be interpreted by the
original cast. Archie Boyd, after a sea-
son under different management, has
re-enlisted under the Brady banner,
and will be seen again in the role of
esquire Bartlett" Boyd was the orig
inaI in this part and played it with a
great degree of success for several
seasons.
A matinee performance this after
noon at 2:30 and the regular evening
performance tonight at 8:15 will con-
clude the splendidly successful en-
gagement of isis Hopkins" at the
Grand opera house. The piece has
played to the biggest weeks business
in the history of the theater, breaking
records at every performance. This
years production of this simple story
of Indiana life is praiseworthy in every
way; the company is an especially
capable one and the scenic investiture
and accessories are elaborate and real
iStic.
Tomorrow night will witness the
first presentation in this city at the
Grand opera house of 'Her Marriage
Vow" new comedy drama by Owen
Davis, which has been very well re-
ceived in the cities of the Middle West
this season, and which has received
the most favorable comment from the
press wherever it has appeared. The
story is said to be interesting at all
times, and there are number of es-
pecially effective scenes and situations
introduced during the action of the
play. A head-end collision between
two trains going at full speed forms
the basis for one of the most effec-
tive incidents of the piece. A splendid
company and elaborate stage settings
are promised.

sit was a popular yet accurate man
who once said that he had acquaintance
enough to. fill cathedral, but that he
could put all his friends into the pulpit, :"
remarked a gentleman of literary note to
a coterie of club confreres the other day.
'But there is later thought on the
friend question: he continued "and that
is that a man can admit he is at least
middle-aged when he can count more
friends in the next world than in this. I
confess that 1 have reached that stage,
and perhaps I am not claiming over much,
either, in the belief that my list of friends,
both dead and alive, is up to the average
in number. But 1 think there are now
more 'on the other side than here.
AN interesting thing to me in this con-
nection,'' he went on to say, lis that while
most of those who passed away few
years ago died poor, observe that nearly
all who have gone recently have left their
families in fair circumstances. Ability OF
every sort is better paid than of old, and
men are thereby able to accumulate more.
Life insurance, too, is proving big help
in this respect. 1 am insured and so are
the majority of my acquaintance. and
can name you a dozen men, all or whom
were more or less well known to you, who
left their families well provided for by
life insurance.
I'm not touting for any particular CON-
pany," he added, with a smile, but it,,
like me, you now have more friends IN
the next world than in this, you will ind
that most of them have gone over well
insured, and that policy holding is some
thing that's growing in extent and popu-
larity every day.

HAS BEEN REPUBLICAN,

Answering the appeal of the Min
neapolis Journal to the Republican
voters of Hennepin that they should
not elect John Lind to congress
because Hennepin would then be
known as a Democratic county, the
Buffalo Lake News retorts that the
chief cause of real concern to Min
neaplis Republicans is the fact that
Minneapolis, during it's recent de-
bauch of municipal corruption and DO
lice scandals is known to the world
as Republican, with not only a Re-
publican mayor, but heavily Repub-
licanized police force.
The Journal need not fear. The
public knows that Minneapolis was
Republican throughout the Ames adj
ministration and that the thirty mu-
nicipal indictments returned by the
grand jury were indictments of Re-
publican officials.
The public is aware that Minneapo-
lis, in 7-9S-when the city treas
ury lost something like $500 1000 of
public funds, when the city treasurer
was indicted and convicted and the
grand jury and the courts spent half
year in the Indictment and trial of
Doodle aldermen-was likewise Repub-
lican, and that the indicted public Of
ficials then also were Republicans.
So well were the voters and taxpay-
ers of Minneapolis themselves aware
of the fact in 1898 that they were Iiv-
ing under a Republican administration
that they proceeded at the polls in
November to elect a Democrat for
mayor, a proceeding they are apt to du-
plicate this fall.
The public is likewise aware that the
county administration, resulting in the
removal of the register of deeds for
cause by Gov. Lind and the removal of
the sheriff for cause by Gov Van SAINT
is also Republican; and voters and tax
payers are bearing this in mind, as
they wait for the ides of November.
The fact is, as intimated by our Buff
falo Lake contemporary, the Republic
. anism of Minneapolis is too well
] known either for the good of Repub-
licanism or for the good of Minneap-
oils; and both will be gamers if Min
neapolis and Hennepin county conclude,
as they are likely to do, to go solidly
Democratic all along the line this fall
The report that Minneapolis had
