.MRs.C.P. VENUS DIES
At WINDSOR HOTEL
Delegate to Ladies' Benevolent
Catholic Association Con-
vention Expires


Mrs. G. P. Venus, of Norwalk. Ohio,
died very suddenly at her room at the
Windsor hotel early yesterday morn
ing. She was a delegate to the. Ladies
Catholic Benevolent association con-
vention, and her sudden death proved
great shock to the delegates when
announced at the opening of the ses-
sion at the Peoples church Monday
morning.
Mrs. Venus death came with prac-
tically no warning. She died after an
illness of only fifteen hours. Death was
due to ptomaine poisoning, according
to the death certificate signed by Dr.
w. A. Dennis, but DR.. Dennis later adj
mitted that only symptoms of pto-
maine poisoning were evident, and that
possibly death may have been due to
natural causes.
Accompanied by Mrs. M. A. SHIRLEY,
also of Norwalk, the remains were tax
en- East last night via the Northwest
ern line, and son of Mrs. Venus will
meet the body at Chicago this morn
ing.
Mrs. Venus came with the Ohio state
delegation to ST. Paul a week ago to
attend the Ladies Catholic Benevolent
association, and during her stay in the
city was guest at the Windsor hotel.
Taken Ill in Minneapolis
In company with other women of the
association who were guests Of the
same hotel she went to MINNEAPOLIS
early Sunday morning and attended
high mass at the Holy Rosary church.
The members of the party had planned
a trip to Minnehaha falls and Fort
Smelling for the afternoon, but at the
conclusion of the church services Mrs.
Venus complained of illness and with
her friends returned to ST. Paul.
She was able to walk from the Wa
basha car line to the hotel on St Peter
street and did not retire to bed until
ABOUT 8 O'Clock in the afternoon She
was attended by her women friends.
but late in the afternoon DIR. Dennis
was summoned and prescribed for her.
she complained of having suffered
similar attacks before, but the physi-
clan questioned her closely as to what
she had eaten. 1t was admitted that
she had eaten heartily of watermelon
and sherbet on Saturday evening, and
the physician said it was possible that
one Of these foods had been the cause
of her trouble.
Death Came at a. m.
On leaving the patient Dr..Dennis
notified the hotel authorities that he
considered Mrs. Venus very sick
woman, and later in the evening DIR. E.
f. Walsh, the house physician at the
windsor, was summoned. He remained
with Mrs. Venus, who was then known
to be in dying condition, for some
hours. Her death occurred at a few
minutes before 4 o'clock
Mrs. Venus was about fifty years of
age, and was a delegate from Branch
No. 20S, Norwalk. She is survived by
her husband and five chiidren,a all
grown. The husband is an insurance
man of Norwalk, and the eldest son is
also business man of that town.
The announcement of the sudden
death, at the opening of the session
yesterday, came as great surprise to
the delegates, and many expressions of
grief were heard. Requiem mass will
be sung at the Cathedral this morning
for the soul of the departed, and many
of the delegates still in the city will at
tend.

MOULDER PULLS OUT
White Bear Man Puts Commits
sloner Wright in Line

A. G. Moulder, of White Bear, who
recently filed as candidate for the
nomination of county commissioner
from the county district now repre-
sented by Commissioner A. p. Wright,
withdrew from the race yesterday. Mr.
Wright will now have clear field, I'M
less some one else should file.
Mr.. Moulder's withdrawal is sup
posed to have followed promise on
the part of Mr.. Wright to "be good" on
the question of good roads. 1t is said
to have been for the express purpose of
securing a pledge of this kind from
Mr.. Wright that he entered the field
Mr.. Moulder,, who lives at White
Bear, is one Of the promoters of the
good roads movement, and a member
and officer of the recently organized
Ramsey County Good Roads associa-
ton, which is seeking to have the coun-
ty board expend more of the road and
bridge fund for permanent roads. and a
much lesser amount for patchwork
Mr.. Wright has all along been opposed
to the effort to do away with the old
system of road work, and it was to
get him in line" that Mr. Moulder be-
came a candidate against him. The
filing by Mr.. Moulder is said to have
had the desired effect.
AT the last meeting of the board
Mr.. Wright voted with the so-caIled
permanent road crowd" His sudden
change was credited to politics at the
time.
During the past few days Mr.. Wright
is said to have made pledges to the
White Bear people that he would sup
port the permanent roads movement,
these pledges having been made with
the understanding that Mr. Moulder was
to withdraw from the race and leave
Mr.. Wright clear field. The with
drawal by Mr.. Moulder yesterday is
said to have been with the explicit un-
Outstanding that Mr.. Wright would
hereafter support the movement of the
good roads association.

While bathing in Twin lakes Sunday
evening, Sergeant Max Radue, hos

BUCK WAITING FOR
CONVENTION OFFERS
Minneapolis Holds Up Hall
and 500 for the Demo.
cratic Meeting

II. l.. Buck, of Winona, chairman of
.he democratic state central commit
zee, mas not called the Democratic state
convention as yet, and is understood
70 De awaiting developments as to in
JUDGEMENTS to be offered by ST PauI
and Minneapolis.
IL is probable that the convention
VIII go to Minneapolis The Democrat
&c leaders of that city are understood
TO nave rendered the free use of q hall
large enough to accommodate tha CON
ventIon and to have offered the com
mlttee 500 to be used for necessary
printing and incidental expenses The
offer Of St Paul is simply the use of a
nail, and it is doubtful if suitable
hall can be secured for tbe occasion
as both the opera houses will be in use
at mat TIME, and there is no other hall,
save possibly one, that could we'll be
utilized
lnasmuch DIS the conventions date is
aug. 80 and will be held during the
progress OF the state fair, st. PauPs ho
tel men are not specially anxious to
nave the convention brought to the
capital city. They will have all their
hotels can care for, and the presence of
an extra thousand men in the city for
a day or two will mean only an added
effort to care for them.
Aberle Favors Minneapolis
Il am in favor of giving the conven-
ton to Minneapolis said Daniel Alb
erie, one of the leading Democrats of
st. Paul, yesterday. 1--WE really have
no accommodations for a state conven-
ton this year, but 1 hope that by an
other two years at least we will be in
position to entertain the biggest kind of
convention. There has been some
talk OF holding the convention in one
OF the buildings at the state fair
grounds, but l do not know whether it
VIII be possible to keep the delegates
together at the fair long enough to
transact all the business of the con-
Vent1on. Under the circumstances. T
will favor the holding of the state con-
Vention in Minnea polls"
The resolution providing for the next b.
convention, passed by the state CEN
trail committee at Duluth, provided
that the convention be held Aug. 30
but left the place of holding the con-
Vention open to the decision of the
executive committee. 1t was then I'M
derstood that some concessions as to a
hall and the legitimate expenses of
the convention were expected from the
city to be selected. Minneapolis is APP
parently candidate for the convention
and will probably be designated by the
executive committee.

OLD MEMBERS COMING
BACK TO LEGISLATURE
Chief Clerk schmal Expects 80 Per
Cent in House of Representatives


unless the Democrats interfere with
their plans" said julius A. Seminal,
editor of a newspaper at Redwood Falls
and chief clerk of the house for two
or three sessions of the legislature, who
was in st. Paul yesterday, fully so per
cent of the old members will be found
in the, next house Of representatives
am a candidate for reelection as
chief clerk, and naturally have paid
some attention to the prospective occu-
pants of seats in the next legislature
An unusually large percentage of the
old members are candidates for re-elec-
ton, and present indications are that
most of them will win out in the Re-
publican primaries, as the fact that
they have been in public life before will
materially assist them in landing the
nominations"
Schmals candidacy for re- election as
chief clerk may interfere with the can
didacy of Frank Clague of the same
county for speaker, and vice versa, but
the two men are not fighting.
