SETTLERS FOR MINNESOTA.

1t should not be forgotten that Minnesota contains
more than twice many square miles of unsettled land
occupied by settlers In round numbers, 900
miles of Ninnesota's total is occupied and
there 10000 square miles of unoccupied land This
unoccupled territory would make as large as
Ohio where they grow many presidents and presi-
dental candidates.
Organized and systematic effort attract settlers to
Minnesota would doubtless yield better returns to the
whole people than any other of expanding sim
liar of money. We whoopng it UP for other
sections and actually coaxng Minnesota farmers to go
into Canada and the far Northwest but are not doing
anything to replace them secure additional popula-
ton.
AT present the population of the settled portion
the state about the square mile If the remain
ing 10000 square miles settled up correspond
we would have population of 100000 more than we
have now and St Paul would be city of 100000 pop
uatlon, the supply center of population of than
100000 Of people near by
The settlement OF the unoccupied lands of the state
would have the effect of increasing density of popu-
laon OF the present portions occupied the cities would
be growing at corresponding manufacturing and all
lines of industry would have like development.
While casting about for the best means of spending
state money to advantage Til e G obe would suggest
to the legislature the advsabity of establishing and
properly maintaining bureau of immigration whose
aim and mission should be let all the world know the
advantages offered by the intending movers-to
farmers looking for arabic land and to mechanics and
artisans looking for locations to ply their respective
trades. .,

YALE STUDENT PUTS
BULLET THROUGH HEAD
Chicago Youth, Worried Over Bust
ness Matters, Ends His Life.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Herman
Bowman Esher, twenty years old,
of Chicago, said to be a student at
Yale university, killed himself by put
ting a bullet through his head today
in his room at the Manhattan hotel
in this city. From letters found in
the young mans room it is presumed
he had been greatly worried, probably
over business matters, but the letters
gave little indication as to his trouble.
On a table was found a penciled
note, which said:
please notify my parents, e. 3.
Esher, 284 Winchester avenue. Chicago
also notify r. NJ. Fairbanks, % Col
lege street, New Haven. Better hold
letter until he comes"
This not was signed Bowman Esh-
err"
On the table also were two letters
sealed. One was addressed to E. b.
Esher and the other to r. NJ. Fair
banks. Besides these a letter written
on the letterhead of the Marine Ma
tional Bank of Buffalo and signed $.
M. Clement, president, was found. This
letter was addressed to Bowman Esh-
er. 1t was written under date Of
March %, and read: Il enclose tele-
gram, just received from Lowell. the
contents of which L have just wired
you. l very much regret his decision.
II may be you can bring some intlu-
ence to bear upon him tomorrow to
change him, and if in his letter, which
will probably follow the telegram, I
find anything that would be of usa
to you, l will wire you tomorrow"
Coroner Jackson has charge Of the
body. Fairbanks has wired that he
will be here tomorrow, and the letter
written to him may throw some light
on the suicide.
Herman Bowen Esher was the
only son of Edward B. Esher, a Chicago
lawyer, and was grandson of Bishop
Bowman, of the Evangelical church.
He was but twenty years of age.
About a year ago young Esher fell
from a six-story window of a Yale
dormitory, fracturing a leg and sus-
tanning other injuries. His injuries
and illness which followed caused him
to lose some time at Yale.

Shah and President-

In an interview the other day Capt.
Lloyd G. GriscOm, former minister to
Persia and now to go as minister to
Japan, said that the shah of Persia de-
sires to visit America, chiefly because
it would give him an opportunity to
hunt big game in company with Pres
ident Roosevelt, whom he admires inn
mensely. Capt. GriscOm added:
1.-The shah is an ardent sportsman.
and President Roosevelt, knowing this,
sent me an autograph copy Of his book,
Big Came to present to him. Mus
saffar- ed-din was delighted. He could
understand the pictures. but as French
is the only modern language with
which he is conversant, he was unable
to read the text He overcame this
difficulty, however, by setting his corps
of interpreters to work. The entire
book was translated into Persian and
then the shah read it with great en-
joyment."

"Bolivar's Busy DayDLat the Grand.

Two very capable principals, Billy
BsssNan-not the Billy Van of minstrel
tame as some would imagine from the
similarity OF thes names, and Nellie
0'Neil, a decidedly fetching. little SOU
brette, enabled "Bolivar's Busy Day"
TO work through three very noisy acts
at the Grand last night without a mis-
nap but was not due3to any unusual
merit on the part of the attraction.
"Bolivar's Busy Day" is a vehicle
for very fair line Of musical special
ties, but 1t more properly Serves to ex-
plot the funmaking qualities of Billy
b. van and Miss Nellie O'NeiI. Billy
=. Van is funny, noisiIy so at times, and
Miss O'Neil is cute and winsome, but
the majority of the support is not in
sympathy. The chorus is not a fea-
ture.
Considerable rag time and much pop
ular music characterize the specialties
ana they lind a happy medium in the
persons of Billy B. Van, Miss ONeil
and a colored quartette, that is GER
ta1nly entitled to the credit of being
good. In addition to the two princi-
pals, the funny situations are accepta-
bly, worked out by Frank c. Evans,
Alexander Cameron and Clement Blew
ems.
Rose Melville is generally credited
with being the original of that UNIQUE
Indiana character, Sir Hopkins" but
the programme of "'Bolivar's Busy

RE Graham, who contributed spe-
c1alty along this line. The manage
menFs assumption that the people are
so ignorant as to believe this merits
an emphatic 'rebuke.

least of which is one depicting a coun-
