INSANE BY
DEATH OF
HUSBAND

New York, Sept 10.--Made insane by
the death of her husband from injuries
received by being run over by a trolley
car, Mrs. Charles Calder has barricaded
herself in her house, at No. 252 Manhat-
tan avenue. Brooklyn. where she will
starye to death unless she is taken out.
The woman. It is said. is raving
house.
The woman's husband got of a trolley
car on Tuesday night before IL had
stopped. He fell and his. right leg was
crushed by the car wheels. He died on
Wednesday morning in ST. Catharine's
hospital
When nelghbors told Mrs Calder that
her husband had met with serious aocl-
dent she seemed stunned. Then she
turned on her informers and declared
they were keeping her husband from
home. but that she would find him and
bring him back.
She waited all Tuesday night for her
husbands return. A policeman notified her
that her husband had peen injured, but
she turned on him as she had on her
neishbors.
When Calder died the police went TO
his home TO notify his wife. No ono
answered the ring. so a relative took
charge OF the body and had II removed
TO an undertaker's TO be prepared for
burial Relatives then went to the home
OF the Calders. but could not gain admit
tance They looked through the shut
ters and saw Mrs. Calder pacing up and
down. II was seen that she had barri-
caded herself by pling furniture and
other things against the doors and win
dows.
Relatives went TO the Herbert street
police station and asked Capt Knipe's
advice. He said he could do nothing be.
cause the woman had not committed any
crime. He detailed Policeman Leonard
TO keep his eyes on the woman as much
as possible by looking through the shut
ters. The charities department was AIS
notified.
It Is the belief OF Mrs Calder's relo
tives and neighbors that she intends 4
kill herself by starving No one darcr

The executive committee Of the re-
publican county central committee met
last evening to discuss the plans for
the coming campaign. Chairman c. NJ.
Stearns presided, it was decided to ar
range at once for opening of headQuar-
tiers of county organization which was
done this morning. The committee
have secured three rooms in the Dill
building which are being furnished to-
day. At the meeting last night Major
F. J. Edwards Of this city was elected
vice chairman and will ofiiciate in the
absence of the chairman. The repub-
lican certificate Of nomination was to-
day filed with the auditor and recorder.
Judge Stearns stated today that the
organization of the county will begin at
once. He states that he has received
much encouragement already from the
people in the county in the way Of
promises Of moral and financial sup
port and believed that he will be able
to conduct a clean and successful cam
paign this year. He expects to remain
at the work exclusively and will spend
iston directing the campaign but also
expects to visit other outside precincts
at intervals. He has already received
many offers from prominent republic
cans in the state who desire to assist
in the campaign and have left with the
committee to arrange speaking dates.
B. S. Grow, republican nominee for
county attorney, returned last evening
from tour of the county with Hon.
Frank r. Gooding and states that at
every place visited that they were re-
ceived with much enthusiasm. Mr..
Crow is very optimistic over the out
look for republican success in this county
during this fall and states that 1t is
very evident from observation and in
formation gained that the republican
vote in Nez Perez county will be in
creased this fall at least twenty per
cent. At each of the meetings held at
the various points visited Mr.. Crow adj
dressed the people on the issues of the
day. That last speech made in this
county was at Leland. From Leland
Mr. Gooding went to Orfino where he

IN FAVOR
OF CAN1EEN
Department of Colorado Com.
mander FavOrS a Return
to the System.

DENVER. COL Sept. 22.-Brigadier
General Frank d. Baldwin command
ing the department of the Colorado,
has forwarded his annual report to the
secretary of war. The report says
that saloons and questionable resorts
near the barracks are responsible for
the large number of assertions from
the regular army in the Department of
the Colorado. The total assertions
during the year closing August Is
were 33S.
The report says. "These assertions
can be in large part attributed to the
malign influences of saloons and broth
els situated near the reservations, Sc
ducing enlisted men from the paths of
decency. This is only another of the
many arguments in favor of restoring
the army canteen, which provided
places of amusement and social inter-
course, where men could get light re-
freshments under restraining. decent
and orderly influences.
Il trust that the sale OF beer and
wines. under proper restrictions, may
be again authorized in the post ex-
change If men are unable to get a
glass of beer in decent and orderly
manner in the Garrisonfl they will re-
sort to the brothels which cluster
around the borders of the reservations,
where they drink all manner of alco-
holic beverages and often sink into de-
hatchery and ruin"

ESTABLISH OLD GRADE
Wheat and Other Grains Will be
Graded the Same as Last Year

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 21.-The
state grain commission has voted to re-
establish the old wheat grades. The
rules establishing the old grades pro-
vide that if in inspecting grain it is
found that any of it has not been
properly cleaned 1t is not thought
probable that the commission VIII
adopt any system of dockage this year.
Samples of grain from which grades
and tests from the 1904 crop will be 'esS'
tablished show a better quality than
those of the 1903 crop. and less wheat
will be rejected this year. All of the
new grain from the present crop al
ready moved was made subject to the
grades established for 1903. The re-
mainder of the crop will come under
the present ruling of the commission
While the crop as whole is short OF
| first estimates, being now estimated by
the state grain inspector at 26,0oo,ooo
| bushels. instead of 30.o00,000 bushels,
its better quality will make 1t run
larger to No. l grade.
Inspector Arrasmith who has re-
| turned from an extended trip over the
state. saws the good price of wheat Will
undoubtedly result in greatly IN
creased acreage this year y good por-
ton of the 1905 crop will be summer
fallow. and this usually runs heavier
than new ground.
