THREE BOTTLES AND A ROPE.
Cause of Mans Attempted Suicide
Found With Him.

While suffering from deliriun. Ferdi-
nand Neuman, a harvest hand, tried to
commit suicide by hanging at the Du-
cas- street police station yesterday aft
ernoon. Lieut.. Sexton cut the man
down and summoned medical aid. Neu-
man was revived and last night it was
said that he will recover.
Late yesterday afternoon Neuman
was picked up by a patrolman on Wi
mona street near the city limits. He
was lying in the gutter. By his side
were two empty quart whisky bottles,
and third was found in his coat
pocket. 1t contained about pint of
whisky.
Shortly after being brought to the.
station the man became delirious.- He
was searched and his knife and several
other articles taken from him. Just
before the night detail reported for
duty Lieut.. Sexton heard groans and
cries in the cell room. He hurried from
the Office and found the man hanging
by his suspenders from one Of the bars.
He cut him down, the body falling limp
to the floor.
Neuman was not sober enough to be
sure he was glad to be saved.

PREPARING FOR
THE MT. ZION FAIR
Elaborate Programme Arranged for the
Event Which Is to Be Held
Next Week.

The Mount Zion fair, for which the
congregation of the Mount Zion temple
has been preparing during the past
months, will be held next week at Cam
bridge hall. The features of the pro-
gramme are novel, and will prove in
teresting. The proceeds of the fair
are to be added to the fund that is
being raised by the congregation for
the erection Of a new temple.
A large number of booths will be
ranged about the hall, in which will
be exhibited numerous kinds of fancy
articles donated by the women of the
congregation. In addition to these ar
ticles there will be a vast array Of
things to interest and amuse the Wis
itors. For the opening of the fair
there will be a grand promenade,
which will be lead by Settings orches-
ira, and will be participated in by
many in gorgeous costumes. Tuesday
will be childrens day, and for this day
an entertaining programme has been
arranged.
Wednesday there will be a "Wein
Stube,' or German tavern, and "Wein
Lese," or a German forest scene. For
these features elaborate preparations
have been made. Every detail of cos
tune and scenery will be made to rep
resent the life Of the Fatherland. A
dinner will be given on Wednesday,
which will be made up or German
dishes served by maids in German cos
tune. The forest scene will be enact
ed by men in the raiment of the for
esters of Germany.
Thursday Mr.. Heller of Minneapolis,
will perform sleight-of-han tricks,
and the Mendelssohn quartette, COM
posed of Messrs. D. F. Colville, FL. E.
George, E. Phillips and B. F. Forester,
contribute a musical programme. The
bazaar will close Friday night and
will be reopened Saturday evening,
which will be carnival night.
During the week no fee will be
charged for admission to the fair dur
ing the noon hour, that is, from IL to
2 p. M, but in the evening a fee will
be charged.
The members Of the congregation
and their friends are looking forward
to an enjoyable time next week, and it
is expected that the financial returns
will add materially to the church fund.

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
TACKLES A BIG JOB
Is About to Begin Condemnation Proceed
ings for Mississippi River
Boulevard. /

When the abstract and condemnation
proceedings for the Lexington avenue
parkway were completed by the board of
public works, the sob was considered
about the biggest ever tackled by that
body. In the next two weeks, however.
the preliminary steps will be taken on
boulevard, in comparison with which the
other Is a mere trihe.
Extending, as it does, from Summit
avenue to Fort Smelling, a distance of
nearly two miles, hundreds of parcels Of
ground are involved, while the assess
ment which will follow will cover dis
trict that will require an abstract of I'M
usual size. This does not necessarily
proportion, as many have promised to
donate the land necessary for the boule-
ward, but 1t means to the members of
the board the taking up of task that
they would willingly forego because of
the labor involved.
The members of the board of public
works have some decided views on the
enlargement Of st. Pauls park SYSTEM
and these views are forcibly expressed
by Commissioner Murphy, who says that
If he can bring it about, park improve
ments and enlargments will be paid for
cost against some particular district. His
stand has particular reference to park
ways.
1t is expected that there will be very
little opposition to the boulevard that the
park board proposes to establish. The
board has long cherished the realization
of this Improvement, and is making every
effort to see that it is completed before
the ground is gobbled up by spectators
or increases in value.

THEY WANT DAMAGES
ABANDONMENT OF RANDOLPH
LINE MAY RESULT IN SUITS
Owners of Property on That Thor
) oushfare Likely to Begin Actions to
Recover Claims Aggresating APP
proximateIy $780, oo-Nothins but the
Old Ties Left as Reminders.

Suits for damages growing out of
the abandonment of the Randolph
street car line, an Inflated venture of
boom times, may find a place on the
calendar for the next term of the dis
trict court.
The aggregate of the claims viii not
be less than. $4,000, and it may be
erty owners and a number Of claim
spectators are mentioned as the
plaintiffs in the proposed litigation.
This story, which Is now current in
the Fifth ward, is due to the active
presence, during the past week, of a
couple of local attorneys, who, it is
said, have been making a canvass of
the property owners along the route Of
the car line. The story is further
the city hall, where the original fran
chise and the records bearing on the
matter are filed. -
The runlored suit grows out of the
fact that when the Randolph street
car line was first constructed it was a
private enterprise and the property
along the street contributed about
$4,000 to bring it to successful re-
alization. Many mortgaged their
home in order to raise the money.
Company Abandoned Line.
After running a short while the line
was abandoned by the present COM
pany, only to be later abandoned, and
the tracks and equipment transferred
to some other part Of the city.
Protest and Indignation meetings
were the result, but they availed moth
ing and the matter was dropped. Some
few managed to effect a compromise
with the company for the money sub
scribed, but others did not, and it is
these claims, it is said, on which spec
uiators are trying to realize. There are
a large number Of them and their ag-
gregate, it is said, is not far short of
$4,000. This is not only on the orig
inal subscription, but for damages
sustained by the removal of the line.
Randolph street now has a reminder
of the old line in the shape Of the ties
which still cucumber the center of the
street. Aid. Rohland, some weeks ago,
secured the passage of an order
through the council compelling the re-
moval Of these ties and the return of
the street to it's former condition, but
no attention has been paid to it by the
company.
There have been repeated rumors to
the effect that the company has in
view the reopening of the line, and for
this reason does not care to remove the
ties, but these rumors the local Off
Gals of the company have repeatedly
denied.

TENTH BATTERY FROM WALLA
WALLA REACHES SMELLING
1t Comprises III Men and Six Heavy
Field Guns and Has Been En- Route
From Washington for Five Days

The Tenth battery of field artillery
arrived at Fort Smelling yesterday aft
ernoon from Fort Walla Walla, Wash.
The battery has been en- route five
days, having made frequent stops on
the way for the purpose of exercising
the men and horses. At all stopping
places they attracted great attention
by their fine display.

The special train was side tracked
two miles above the fort yesterday,
and the men, horses and baggage were
unloaded and conveyed to the tenn
porary quarters at the old stone post.
The boys Of the Twenty first welcomed
their new comrades heartily, and did all
in their power to assist them in get
ting settled. When the effects were all
gathered together, the battery paraded
over the reservation, making a fine
showing.
Since 1889, when Grimes battery
left the post for Fort Riley, there has
been no artillery at Fort Smelling.
The men will be CHARTERED in the
buildings near the bridge, known as
the "Old Post" which have been vacant
since 1889, when the Twenty fifth in
fantry left Fort Smelling. This old post
is one of the interesting features of the
fort, 1t having been constructed in the
year 1881. Many historical incidents
are associated with it.

were of a nature which did not detract
interest from the primary display-the
pictures thems selves. In each of the
rooms there was a pleasing variety of
paintings radiating from central piece
which first caught and held the eye;
and in the hallway which is not wide,
Were hung pictures of finish capable
OF appreciation at short range.

The three pictures Of William Mer-
rit Chase, the noted New York artist,
are the central piece of the display. The

life and study of boys head. On
the opposite wall hung a large por-
trait by Max Bohm, Of Cleveland. A
number Of other pictures, both land

NAMES, NOT PARTIES,
ROTATE ON BALLOT
Attorney Generals Office Kept Busy
lnstrueting County Auditors
and Attorneys.

The stenographer in the office of the
attorney general Is busy just now an
swering queries as to whether the
names Of party candidate on the Off
cial ballots rotate. County auditors,
and, for that matter, many county at
torneys, appear to- have the idea that
the provision in the election law for
the rotation of the names of candidates
applies to parties as well as candidates.
This is an erroneous Impression.
The attorney generals opinion in
each case is that the names of the
party candidates rotate only when
there are two or more to be elected to
the same office, as in the case of dis
trict judges in Ramsey county and in
legislative districts where two or three
representatives are to be chosen.
