THINKS PRIMARY LAW is BAD.
Corporation Attorney Markham Will
Not Try for District Bench,

Corporation Attorney James E.
Markham believes that nomination for
positions on the district bench should
be removed from the operations of the
primary election law and may be in
strumental in attempting to bring
about such change by the next legis-
lature
Mr.. Markham yesterday announced
that he will not be a candidate for Re-
publican nomination to the district
bench. His candidacy was generally
expected for several months and his
friends have done a great deal of quiet
work in his behalf. His announcement
yesterday came in the shape of a sur
prise, but withal a not unwelcome sur
prise to the other Republicans who
have filed for nomination to the bench.
Mr.. Markham gives a twofold reason
for declining to enter the primary race
for the nomination. His term of office
as corporation attorney does not ex-
pire until three and half months after
the judges term commences and he
says he believes in the nom partisan
bench, which the primary law success
fully prohibits. Yesterday to T h e
G l o b e he said:

publican nomination to the district
bench. / have been urged by my
friends and many members Of the bar

present my name. My decision is the

CERTIFICATES ALL WRONG.
Legislative Candidates Must Correct
Their Affidavits.

Ramsey county gentlemen seeking
TO serve the people as members of the
lower branch of the legislature have
overlooked the law, and with single
exception will have to make out new
certificates of candidacy.
The single exception is Representa-
tive w. w. Rich. whose certificate of
candidacy was properly filled out, call
ed attention to the omissions in the
certificates of other legislative aspir-
ants. County Auditor Johnson will
permit the necessary changes without
expense to the candidates, but they
must be made before the several, names
may be placed on the primary ticket.
The legislative reapportionment of
1897 divided Ramsey county into five
senatorial districts and ten representa-
tive districts, in which are elected five
senators and eleven house members.
The certificates of candidacy must des-
lgnate the district in which the candi-
date purposes to run, but to date Rich
is the only candidate who has not filed
simply as running in a senatorial dis
trict.
The First and Second wards consti-
tuting the Thirty third senatorial dis
trict, is the only Ramsey county dis
trict in which the senatorial designa-
ton is correct on the certificate of an
aspirant to the house. In the Thirty
third district the house candidates run
at large just as the senatorial candi-
date does.
The Thirty-fourth district consists of
the Third and Ninth wards and that
portion of the Eighth ward lying east
of the center of Western avenue. The
Third ward elects one of the three rep
resenatives to which the district is en-
titled. That portion of the Eighth and
Ninth wards, south of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba tracks elects
another, and those portions of the same
wards north of the tracks constitutes
third representative district.
The Thirty-fifth senatorial district
consists of the Fifth and Sixth wards.
The senatorial candidates run in both,
but each ward is a distinct representa-
tive districts, and house candidates
run only in their respective wards both
for nomination and for election
The Thirty-siX district includes
the Fourth and Seventh wards and
three precincts of the Eighth ward.
The Fourth ward constitutes one of the
two representative districts, and the
remainder of the senatorial district the
other.
The Thirty-seventh senatorial dis
trict consists of that part of the Eighth
ward lying west of Western avenue
Tenth and Eleventh wards and the
country districts. The Eighth ward
portion of the district dominates and
elects one representative and the
Tenth and Eleventh wares and the
country districts the other.
The several representative dis
tricts are not given enumeration as in
the case of senatorial districts, and they
must be described in the certificate of
candidacy. The descriptions as above
are sufficiently comprehensive for the
purpose of filing, but for those candi-
dates who wish to be exact to the letter
of the law, the official descriptions may
be found in General laws 1897, chapter
120, pages 251 and 252.

Career as a Soldier.
Rev. Stariha was born in the diocese
Of Liabach, Carniola, Austria, May 70,
1S45. He received his classics in Ru-
dolfswerth, Austria, and completed
them in the year 1866. The same year
he served in the Austrian army in the
war of Austria against Italy and was
a soldier seven months. At the close
of his career as a soldier Rev. Stariha
was decorated with a silver medal of
glory for bravery displayed during the
war. Father Stariha has this medal
in his possession yet and values it very
highly.
He came to America in May, 1867.
landing at New York, and came West
to Milwaukee, Wis, where he attended
st. Francis seminary and took his COL
legiate and theological courses of
study. He finished his studies in the
fall of 1859, and was ordained a
priest at Marquette, Mich, Sept. 10,
1859. For two years he served as as
sistant priest at Negaunee, Mich, and

at Marystown, in Scott county, Mimi,
for about nine months, when he was
removed to Red Wing, and took charge
of ST. JoSeph'S church. He remained
in Red Wing until 1884, and during that
time established the st. Joseph's school
at Red Wing, and built a new church.
He was transferred to st. Paul in jan
uary, 1884, and it was in that year that
he organized the st. Francis de Sales
parish. BY hard work he succeeded In

Long Service in State.
Rev. Stariha had charge of a parish
organizing a congregation of about $50
families, and during the same year he
built st. Francis de Sales church, on
James street, near Seventh, of which
church he is still pastor. He also built
the priests house and the school in
1884. Two years later he built con-
vent for the sisters of Notre Dame,
who took charge of the teaching in the
school, and in 1890 st. Francis parish
hall was built.
Rev. Stariha has labored diligently
until at present there are over 500
families in the parish, which is consid-
cred one of the best and most flourish
ing in the diocese of st. Paul. Last
year the enrolment of children in the
school was 565. Rev. Stariha was ap-
pointed vicar general of the st. Paul
diocese five years ago, and 1t is due to
his earnest work that where there was
nothing but a swamp eighteen years
ago, today there is a beautiful church
surrounded by a school building, a
convent, a parish hall and the priests
house.

appointed a bishop and would probably
be transferred to South Dakota, did

WANTS LIGHTING
PLANT AT HARRIET
DR.. ohaee Says He Can Save the City
Money if Allowed to Run Plant
of His Own.

Health Commissioner Ohage thinks
he could light Harriet island cheaper
and better if he had plant located on
the island, and to that end will appear
before the conference committee at it's
next meeting and ask for an appro-
priation with which to purchase the
required machinery.
The island and buildings are now
lighted by both gasoline and electri-
city, but the number Of lamps is in
adequate, especially about the gymna-
SUM and the bathing pools. The doc
tor says he has saved the city money
by installing a plant for the launder-
ing of the bathing suits and towels
used at the baths, and he can do the
same with the light if he is only au-
thOrized to purchase the necessary
machinery. To light the island now
necessitates an expenditure of about
$4,000 year.

PROMISING CAREER
/, is ENDED BY DEATH
Death of EhrIe Bohrer Unusually Sad
WAS Bright and Popular Boy
Funeral Today.

The funeral of Ehrle E. Bonrer, who
died on Sunday morning of acute
pneumonia, will be held this afternoon
at O'Clock, services being held at
5Z1 WabaSha street The interment
will be at Oakland cemetery.
His death was very sad, and has oc-
casioned profound regret among a wide
circle of warm friends. Mr.. Bohrer was
a bright young man of seventeen years
OF age, just entering upon promis-
ing career. Both of his parents have
been dead for some years. He was at
one time a 'newsboy on the streets of
st. Paul. He was bright and ambi-
tious, and with determination worked
himself up, improving every oppor-
tunity for advancement. Friends be-
came interested in him and helped in
his efforts to obtain an education. He
went to the Central high school in this
city, and afterward took special
course at Hamline university. Having
determined to become a physician he
last year attended a medical school in
Baltimore.
Last week he was not feeling we'll,
but persisted in attending to some
work which he felt he should do. He
exposed himself too much and became
monia before he himself realized that
he was seriously i'll. He had won many
friends by his kindly disposition and
earnest endeavors. He was a quiet,
manly boy who made friends wher-
ever he went, and his untimely taking
off is mourned by a large number of
people who had become attached to
him for his many fine qualities of mind
and heart.

Judge H. L. Buck, of Winona, will
succeed L. A. Rosing as chairman of
the Democratic state central commit
tee and executive head of the Demo-
cratic campaign machine.
The executive committee will meet
today at the Merchants to complete it's
organization by electing two members
at large to complete the at large COM
mittee of six as contemplated in the
new organization and a chairman.
Judge Buck will be elected chairman
and Charles A. Nye, of Moorhead, and
G. D. O'Brien, of st. Paul, will fill the
complement of the committee at large.
The question of their election has been
pending with these gentlemen for some
time and their acceptances were made
public yesterday. The members of the
committee at large are: Frank Day,
Fairmont; Senator William Gausewitz,
Owatonna; Swan J. Turnblad, Mime
apolis; c. A. Nye, Moorehead; Hum
phrey Barton and G. D. O'Brien, st.
Paul.
Chose Strong Leader.
The selection of Judge Buck as the
executive head of the campaign COM
mittee is fortunate and will be gener-
ally commended by Democrats
throughout the state He is a long
Democrat and an astute political man
ager. He has been actively associated
with politics for a long time and serv-
ed Winona county as judge Of its pro-
bate court for ten years. Judge Buck
is still young man, hardly past forty,
and leader of intense energies. He
is expected to take up the preparatory
work for the campaign at once and will
probably open temporary headquarters
in ST. Paul not later than Aug. 1. The
permanent headquarters will be opened
and the campaign launched shortly
after.
The election of C. A. Nye, of Moor
head, to the committee at large is an
other fortunate selection and one
which brings small cheer to the Repub-
lican calamity howlers. Mr.. Nye has
for years been recognized as one OF the
foremost Populist leaders and a pillar
of strength in the Peoples party.

SOLDIER, DRUNK FOR
THREE MONTHS, is DEAD

Its Worst Form.

the United States army died at the
city hospital yesterday afternoon of
acute alcoholism and pneumonia.

an officers blouse and civilian trous-
ers.

fort. Schroeder came there and said
he was on his way to Fort Thomas,
but did not know to what regiment
he belonged. His nerves were COM
pletely shattered, and he could give
little account of himself except that
he had been in the Philippines. He
was sent to the city hospital from the
municipal court, but died shortly after
his arrival. Before his death his mind
partially cleared, and he told the at
tendants that his wife was in Van
couver, Wash.

MRS. FREDD PROVES THAT
WOMAN CAN THROW STRAIGHT
Heaves Box Of Starch at Hubby and
Hits Him Hard.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fredd, 16 West
Exchange street, INDUCED in family
quarrel yesterday afternoon. Mere
words were not sufficient for Mrs.
Fredd, and, in casting her eyes about
for something more tangible with
which to uphold her end of the argu-
ment, she spied box of corn starch.
In moment she had the corn starch in
her hand, and coiling her arms about
her head like a slab artist she heaved
the box. Mr.. Fredd was in act of ad-
vancing towards his wife with his
mouth open to accommodate the size
and vigor of his remarks. He was met
more than half way by the box of corn
starch, which struck him in the face.
The box was contented with cutting a
small cash in his countenance, but the
starch spread out all over him, down
his throat and in his nostrils, so that
for a few moments he was nearly as
phyxiated. officer Gavin arrived in
time to witness the accuracy of Mrs
Fredd's throwing and he brought her
and her kalsomined husband to the
police station, where they were charg-
I'd with disorderly conduct.

Republican nomination to congress in
the new Seventh district He filed his
certificate of candidacy with the sec

Anent the candidacy of Volstead,
who is popularity supposed to be run

Seventh district race, the experience
OF Representative John Schultz, of Mar

little enough gratitude to be included
in the professional politicians cata-

Schultz is hustling for nomination to
the senate, and down in Lincoln county
c. w. Sites is filled with the same
laudable ambition. Schultz sought to
turn a strong card by mixing in the
congressional race and landing the
Yellow Medicine county vote by boost
ing Volstead for congress. He made it
strong. Eventually he went the limit
by manipulating "a Nolstead indorse-

CARS NEED NOT STOP
WHEN THEY ARE CROWDED
Judge Otis Files Important Decision in
Street Car Case.


A decision of vital Importance in the
damage suit of John Jehle against the
St. Paul City Railway company was
filed by Judge Otis, in the district
court, yesterday. Plaintiff brought
suit to recover because one of the de-
PENDANTS cars did not stop for him af-
ter he had repeatedly signalled to the
motorman.
The defense contended that the car
was full, and the court, in it's memo
randum, holds that the railway COM
pany is entitled to use it's own judg-
ment as to whether more passengers
shall be taken onto a car, after all the
seats are occupied, and all reasonably
available standing room is occupied.
The memorandum of the court is as
follows: 80
People who pay their money to ride
on street car are entitled to some
rights" says the judge, land when a
car is crowded and people are standing
In the aisles the conductor has a per-
feet right to pass a prospective pas
senger who has signalled the car to
stop. If company allows it's cars to
become damned and crowded, it is la
BILE for any accident that might hap
pen to its patrons as result, and the
company has a right to use it's own
judgment as to when a car is suffi-
GENTLY crowded"

At the meeting of the assembly and

formally, but nothing definite was
reached. 1t is definitely settled that
the assembly will not entertain the
name of~Dr Whitcomb, nor will the
board accept the name of Assembly
man Rosen. AS a compromise the Re-
publicans have suggested the name of

Timely Assistance.
William McLain, fifty years of age,
attempted to commit suicide yesterday
afternoon at the. Lyons Court hotel,
Ninth and Sibley, by using chloroform.
He was found in his room at the hotel
by an employee. DR.. Richeson was sent
for, and after working over McLain
for some time, brought him out of
danger. At a late hour last night he
was sleeping, and there was little
doubt but what he would recover.
This is said to be the second attempt
McLain has made to kill himself. Gen
eral dependency is supposed to be
the cause. McLain, it is claimed, was
at one time prosperous, and resided
on Summit avenue.
OF late he has been working for the
Great Northern, but for the past few
weeks has been out of employment.
