James Byrne-The action Of Judge

None of them gave him the inforIna-

reporters and 1t was afterward recalled
that some of his questions to them be-
trayed his lack of first-hand knowledge
of the conventions action. He waited
about the station, almost irresolute in
bearing, for ten minutes and then sud-
denly galloped back toward Rosemont.
An hour afterward his famous tele-
gram was filed with the operator and
the remarkable series of events was
under way.
THAT night while the convention
tossed and billowed with the sensation
he had produced he sat up until after
3 a. m. closely watching the bulletins
and did not retire until after the ac-
tion of the convention upon his tele-

not true that Judge Parker sent a
message to Senator Hill demanding
the insertion of a gold plank. His tel

Dashing into the crowded balcony
!, of the Empire theater at IL o'clock
last night Prof Edward E. Herr,
hypnotist, shot his wife, known as
Blanche Lamont, and, after wounding
her seriously, turned his revolver upon
himself and inflicted a wound which
will probably prove fatal.
Herr fired two shots at the woman
from behind as she sat near the rail-
ing, one of the bullets taking effect in
her head and the other in her neck
and hand.
Before any of the spectators could
reach him the would be. murderer
turned the revolver to his head and
fired a third shot into his right ear. :.
The shooting is believed to have
been the result of a jealous quarrel,
for a short time before the woman
went to the gallery the two were seen
Z quarreling, in the dressing rooms in
the basement. Herr spoke to the
woman in an angry tone. and. as soon
as she had changed her clothing, she
left the room and went to the main
floor and from there to the balcony,
where she took seat near the railing
near a man.
Herr was seen to- follow the woman
as she went up the stairs, and actors
who witnessed his actions said he ap-
peared to'*be in a jealous rage.
About two minutes after the woman
had taken the seat in the balcony he
followed her from the wings on the
second floor, and coming up. behind
drew the revolver and fired two shots
at her.
Waiter Tells of Shooting

Burns, 2032 Clinton avenue, Minneap-

she had been there about two minutes
when Herr followed her. Without the

the trigger twice. In an instant he

They are part of the advance guard

Kansas to help harvest the wheat
The oldest of the three men said:
I'VE three men met first on the train.
We were on our way to St Louis to
see the exposition. We spent three
days at the exposition, and had a good
time. 1t does not cost a man any
more to live in St Louis than 1t does
in Pittsburg, if he goes at it right 1

If a chap goes there with a big wad,
he can spend it all right, but the eco
nomical man, who is willing to i've
carefully, can get along very easily
on small allowance of money.
Times are good in Pennsylvania
Some of the mines are shut down, but
in general there is plenty of work. We
have come out west on visit of COM
bined business and pleasure. We have
taken in the fair, and now we are
visiting Kansas for the first time. We
want to work in the wheat fields, but
as the harvest is not due for some
time, we are going out to get some
work in the country. This country is
a lot different from Pennsylvania.
You have to lie down on your back to
see the sun in some places back
there. Things look very good to US
out here
AS fast. as the men come in hunting
jobs in the harvest fields, the employ
ment officers take their names and
addresses, and promise to notify them
as soon as their services are wanted.
One young man who is holding
down a well-paid position as clerk in
a leading Topeka dry goods store
came to the Office this morning. He
said:
There is a company of four of us
going out to the harvest this year.

and then go out to the harvest. When

very respectable collection of cal
loused places on his palms.

MISS. ROOSEV Elf GONE
Daughter of the President Leaves St
Louis for Home.

St Louis, June 6-Miss Alice Roose-
welt quietly left St. Louis for Washing
ton city, D. c., yesterday. She was de-
termined that no such demonstration
by crowds mark her departure as had
attended her arrival. Few persons out
side of the Catlin family, therefore,
knew the time the presidents daughter
was to leave.
rye had such delightful time,'
were her parting words The people
of st. Louis have been kind to me, only
1 wish they wouldn't crowd So" As
the train pulled cut of 1.-The station and
around a curve, the tgir1ish figure of the
daughter of the president still was seen
waving a farewell with her handker-
chief.
On Saturday evening Miss Roosevelt
spent several hours on The Pike at the
Worlds fair. Her admiring comments
on all the attractions were as enthusi-
astic as if she were seeing them for
the first time At night when she re-
tired, she breathed a sigh of content, as
if to say that she had put to good use
every moment of her stay in St Louis.
The Pennsylvania train on which
Miss Roosevelt departed left the city
at 1890 p. m. She was accompanied
to the station by Mr.. and Mrs. Catlin,
Miss Irene Catlin and Theron Catlin.
Miss Roosevelt was attended only by
her maid, who has been in the employ
of the Roosevelt family for many years.
Miss Roosevelt went to Washington on
a return trip ticket, and not on a pass.
She will reach her home this evening at
RIO o'clock
