FORESTERS' NVENTION
LASTED ALL NIGHT.
Factions of the Order Divided Honors
in the Election of Officers-Assess-
ment Plan the Next Point Where a
Difference of Opinion Is Expected
The Official Publication.

The battle is over and the Woman's
Catholic Order of Foresters has
elected it's officers. Both factions are
represented on the successful ticket
which reads as follows: High chief
ranger, Mrs. Elizabeth Rodgers, Chi
cago; vice high chief ranger, Mrs.
Rosa D. Rittman, Minneapolis; high
cago; high treasurer, Miss Katherine
Birmingham, Chicago; high medical
examiner, DR.. Anna Dwyer,. Chicago;

Daley, Tessie Murphy, Mines. Anna
Synon, Marie Cyr, Margaret Flip,
Anna Klarkowski, Chicago, and Mrs.
Mary Timmony, Detroit, Mich; high
auditors, Mines. Minnie Duffy, Mary
cago.
The story Of the election is the tale
of a long day and longer night
spent in the church. From 8 o'clock
yesterday morning until 9 o'clock this
morning many of the delegates never
left the convention.
The first 100 votes showed a ma
jority for Miss Catherine Goggin for
high chief ranger, but Mrs. Rodgers
vote grew steadily larger until at the
end of the count she stood with fifty
votes more than her opponent. Mrs.
Rosa D. Rittman of Minneapolis
polled the largest vote in the election
and secured 343, against 246 for Mrs.
Jacoby. DR.. Anna Dwyer had DR..
Elspeth Conner as a close second and
Mr.. Mcdonnell had only a margin Of
twelve votes between him and de-
feat.
A question was raised over the vote
for high secretary. The two tellers
did not agree in their count, and still
a third result had been secured by
the delegates who were keeping their
own tally, A recount was called for
and. the tired tellers began their
wearisome task again. At its close
their number agreed, with that OBJ
tanned by the delegates, and Miss
Julia O'Brien was announced the vic
| tor.
The motion for adjournment was
made, and the delegates, worn out
by the long physical and mental
strain, struggled to their hotels to Sc
cure some rest before the meeting
| this afternoon, which was announced
/ for 2 o'clock.

Offers to Pay Board at the
Works. ;"

Unable to satisfy his craving for
liquor by complete intoxication. or to
leave it alone long enough to become

holsterer with a good business and
realizing that he was losing money
every hour. he decided to arrest him
self.

board, too. / can't stop unless am
locked up and it's the only way to
save my business from ruin

no signs Of intoxication. He was
sentenced to ten days in the work
house, where he will take the cure.

REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE
WILL HAVE CHANCE TO CUT
MITTFE.

Letters have been sent out to mem
bers of the republican state central
committee, stating that a meeting of
the committee will be called at an
early date. They are asked to be pre-
pared with report on political con-
ditions in their districts.
It is understood that the chief rea-
son for calling the committee to-
gether so soon again is to get the
resolution rescinded providing for an
executive committee. Chairman
Hamline is having his troubles, not
only in Ramsey county, but in other
sections of the state where there is
strife for the coveted place in the
inner circle. Rather than cause heart
burnings by making a choice from
these aspirants, the chairman would
prefer to cut out the executive COM
mittee entirely. Such committee
has been a regular feature in all
recent campaigns, but there are in1u-
ences in favor of the change.

FRUSTRATED BY
WIFE'S SUICIDE
IsADoR sCHEINER In CARE OF A
PHYSICIAN.
Mrs. Scheiner Threw Herself Into
Lake Harriet Last Night-Leaves
Four Children, the Eldest of Whom
Is but Six Years and the Baby but
Six Months OF Age.

Driven almost to distraction by the
suicide of his wife, whose body was
found in Lake Harriet this morning,
Isador Scheiner, a paWnbroker at
216h Washington avenue S, requires
the attention of a physician. When
the, sad news was broken to him and
he realized that his four children were
motherless, he went into frenzy.
His friends hurriedly called physi-
clan and he was taken in a closed car
riage to the lake, where the lifeless
form of his wife lay upon the bank.
Arrived at the lake, Mr.. Scheiner's
grief was so intense that his friends
felt impelled to get him away from
the heart-breaking scene. He was
taken to his home, where sympathlz-
ing friends are administering to his
wants and those of the four mother
less children.
Mrs. Scheiner has suffered from
mental alteration since the birth OF
her youngest child, six months ago.
While she had never spoken of end
ing her life, her condition was such
that she was not responsible. Think
ing that the fresh air at the lake
would do her some good, her brother,
Isador Meltzer, accompanied her
there last night. Shortly after
o'clock they were sitting in the pavil-
ion, when she excused herself and
walked away. When she did not re
turn, Mr.. Meltzer became alarmed
and Harry Eshman, manager of the
pavilion, sent out searchers. The
body was found this morning in the
shallow water near the east end OF
the lake by J. E. Eide. He had found
the dead woman's hat and shawl or
the bank and rowed about the spot.
Mrs. Scheiner was 35 years old
and had been married seven years

thetic Maternal Devotion
City Helps Her.

With the rain pouring in thru the
unshingled roof, Mrs. Mary Higgins
sat up thru the long rainstorm last
night and kept her year-old child dry
with her own clothing. An agent of
the city poor department found the
destitute family this morning with no
fuel or food and the house deluged
with water.
For three weeks the mother and her
three little children, the oldest 5
years of age, have been living in an
old shed in the rear Of 405 Fourth
street N. John Higgins, the father
and husband, left his family then, and
altho staying in the city has not gone
near them. They have lived on half
rations,s cooked with what fuel they
could find in the streets. When it
rained there was not a dry spot in
the whole place.
A foreman of a lumber yard called
yesterday to offer Higgins a job at
good wages He was not there to take
it, and this morning his family was
found in a starving condition.
Superintendent Barton of the poor
department relieved the suffering of
the wife and family and the police
have been asked to look for the erring
husband,

Minneapolis property subject to

purposes of taxation in 1905, ac-
cording to the summary of the work
of the city assessor and the city board
of equalization, completed this morn
ing by G. j. Minor, city assessor.
liberalization is not as high as that
fixed by the state board of equalization
for this year, by nearly 100000, as
the local officials have declined to ac-
cept the states valuations on the per-
sonal property of the street railway
company, which has appealed to the
courts on the ground that the assess
ments are excessive and unreason-
able. There has been an increase of
over 100000 in personal property
assessments, principally thru keying
up the valuations on public service
corporations, the numbering concerns
and the grain elevators
There has been a decided decrease
in real estate in spite of the great
amount of new building in the past
two years. This has been accom-
plished by radical cuts in the value Of
outside unimproved real estate.
The fourth ward, taking in Nicollet
and Hennepin avenues as far out as
and including part of Lowry Hill, is
| by far the richest ward in the city.
1t pays nearly one-third the taxes
and leads both in real estate and per-
sonal property valuations.
These Details Interesting.
There are many surprising facts dis
closed by a perusal Of the classical
ton of personal property Thus the
total value of jewelry and diamonds is
only 11,155. Altho almost every
man and woman and many children
carry watches and every household

their value averages only about
/ twelve dollars
The automobiles returned for tax

organs 10,147.
There are only 1,167 dogs, whereas
the city clerk has issued tags to three
times that number. OF pigs and hogs

by Wisconsin Officers.

Deputy Sheriff Curry of Sawyer county,
Wisconsin, is in the city today. He is well
acquainted with John Dietz, who took up
an impregnable position on Thornapple
river and defe.l the officers who held
warrants for his arrest issued on account
of his alleged illegal seizure and retention
of logs belonging to the Chippewa Log &
Boom company. Mr.. Curry says:
+ '.They evidently don't want Dietz now,
as he comes into town the. same as any
one and has been in conference with the
officials of the lumber company. He still
holds out for his price and keeps millions
Of feet of logs tied up.
ss ct is claimed that he shot1.two young
men when the attempt to arrest him was
made, but nothing has been done about
that either Dietz is still defiant and al
ways goes armed
