a heart that throbbed only to pain.
A ray of spring sunshine crept in
between the folds Of the window cur

Agnes Norwood had once been a
part Of that world of brightness and
beauty to which she seemed to belong;
but her Gethsemane had come at the
supreme hour of her life-at a time
when she was radiaptly happy-and
its dark shadows had wrapped them
selves so closely about her that
she had not since been able to pene-
.trate their gloom. 1t was in May that
she had promised to be Arthur Came
ron's wife, Before the June roses were
gone death had claimed him." There
had been a short illness, sudden
alarm. and then the end. The brilliant
young life had gone out.
When Agnes stroye to recall what
had taken place in those awful days
of darkness and hopelessness she had
4 confused seuse of the solemn hush,
the sorrowful faces, and a kind voice
that tried to point her to the stars
shining through the cypress trees"
The only reality was the great wave
of desolation that hal settled down into
her heart when that which represented
all that life had for her was carried out
of her sight.
Since then the days had come and
gone alike, as one long painful dream.
In vain had the anxious parents and SYM
pathetic friends tried every expedient
to waken within her the old passion
for music. In those other days Agnes
sweet voice had thrilled large audiences.
The congregation Of the First church had
not forgotten the Easter solo Of last
wear. They were eager to secure the
same singer for tie coming Easter. But

Special to The Globe
SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. 13.-Andrew
Ekstrom today caused the arrest of
/ President L. A. Paddock, Secretary
Andrew T. Rock and Treasurer Eu-
gene Berthiaume, of the Superior Re-
tail Grocers. association, on the ground
of conspiracy. He claims In. the COM
plant that the officers Of. the associa-
tion; or the association itself, has en-
tered into eonaairacy With the
wholesale and commission men of the
city, whereby they refuse to sell goods
to any grocer that is not member of
the association and lis cutting the
prices, of goods. ~
Ekstrom is connected with the Su-
perior Cash Grocery company, con-.
trolling three stores, which was ex-'
PEELED from membership in the union.
Since then, it alleges 1t has been un-
able to buy goods from many of the
commission men and claims that it is
due to an agreement between the COM
mission men and officers of the asso-
citation.
The three defendants, were this aft
ernoon in the municfpAl court, where
they demurred to the complaint,
claiming no cause of action. This will

Collins Men Have NOT Forgiven
Dunn Workers

Conditions in Mower county, from the
standpoint of the vote to be given John
A. Johnson for governor could not be
brighter, said j., D. Sheedy, of Austin,
who was caller at Democratic state
headquarters yesterday.
Mr.. Sheedy is a former state commit
teeman from Mower county, and is said to
be thoroughly informed as to the politics
of his county, While Mower is one of the
counties of Southern Minnesota gener-
ally depended upon by the Republican
state organization to produce the neces-
sary majorities for the state ticket there
are many indications that this year 1t is
one of the counties that are to sadly
disappoint the managers of R. &C Dunn.
The county was strongly pro-collins In
the gubernatorial pre-conyention contest
and it has not yet forgiven the Republic
an manipulators for the way Ia which
the Dunn nomination was Wrung from the
convention.

LENA'S CASE ONLY
PARTIALLY DECIDED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 13.-The
development of the day so far as it
related to the Russian cruiser Lena at
San Francisco was the clearing up of
the official muddle arising out of the
doubt as to which of five departments
of the government should deal with it.
1t was finally decided by the president
that the state and navy departments
should treat the case, acting Jointly, a
decision calculated greatly to simplify
its handling gzss,e-z 80
Over night came a telegram from
Admiral Goodrich at San Francisco
showing that on his own initiative he
had caused one of his expert officers to
make preliminary examination of the
Lena and that temporary repairs would
occupy six weeks and that new boilers
would involve eight months delay. The
president approved the admiral's ac-
ton and decided that he should con-
tinue to handle the case in San Fran
cisco under the Instructions from the
state and navy departments.
Agreeable to the presidents inStruc-
tions, Acting Secretary Adee, for the
state department, and Capt. Pillsbury,
for the navy department, had two con-
ferences during the day and the result
was the preparation of instructions to
Admiral Goodrich which, it is under
stood, were wired to the president for
his approval. There is good ground
to believe that these instructions con-
template the allowance of sufficient
time for the Lena to make temporary
repairs. However, there is a growing
belief here that the vessel will be
obliged to intern in the end, for it is
altogether likely that by the time she
could be made ready to go to sea one
or more Japanese cruisers would be

PARKER WILL VISIT
Candidate Resolves to Go to
New York Tomorrow

ESOPUS, N. Y, Sept. 13. = Judge
Parker expects to go to New York on
thursday and to return on Friday.
Judge Parkers reason for leaving
Rosemount was not known today. 1t
is understood that he will take apart
ments in some New York hotel and
confer with political friends For sew
eral days it has been rumored that the
judge was planning a visit to New
York to call on the members of the ma
tional committee and other managers
of the campaign. 1t was said also that
he might remain there and take hand
in the running of the campaign for the
purpose Of bringing about more har-
monious relations between the men at
headquarters, but it is believed here
that the candidate, instead of straight
ening out real or imaginary differ
ences, has under consideration import
ant plans of campaigning intended
to change completely the working
methods in some parts of the country.
Judge Parker's. trip to New York on
Thursday will be the first visit of
political character since his nominal
ton.
The results of the Maine election are
gratifying to the Judge and his political
friends who visited Rosemount today
The candidate is greatly pleased at the
largely increased Democratic vote and
feels that there was sentiment dis
played there which may be expected to
develop throughout the country and
show in more material form in doubt

It has been decided not to open
Western headquarters. Chairman Tag
CART will personally survey the West
ern situation and when he returns TO
New York will take measures to put
more life into the work in Indiana,
Wisconsin and Illinois.

CRAZY TINE IS
SEEN IN WHEAT PIT.
Minneapolis September Scars
Nearly Nine Cents Above
the Monday Close

There was a crazy time in the Min
neapolis wheat pit yesterday. Sep
tember opened at $1.25, an advance of
7ss cents over the close of Monday,
and scared 10 $f.27 within minute.
The price eased off and as low as $1.23
was recorded. The final figures were
$1.231a, as against $1.1SA Monday.
Threatened by azfreezeup, the effect of
which would be calamitous, the wheat
market scared. Reports of expected
frosts were made from many quarters,
and in Iowa and Nebraska it was said
the corn crop was in danger of de-
struction, and as the Canadian North
west is in no condition to Withstand a
freeze situation was serious in the
extreme. The tension is great sand
the holders of wheat are pressing the
shorts to the limit.
Again, it is claimed the advance in
the price of September was due, in
part, to the fact that parties who had
purchased September wheat for de-
livery in Duluth were paying a pre-
MUM for immediate delivery. The late
wheat harvest in the Northwest has
caused the Duluth stock to be late;
hence the payment of premiums. AS q
result of this report the bears became
panic stricken and hastened to cover,
with the result the price scared and
the pit was all excitement After the
first rush the traders seemed to get
their second wind and the price fell
from s1.27 to s1.23, closing at
$1.231a, an advance of SIS cents over
Mondays figures.
Flour advanced so cents barrel,
and as result the first patents in
wood command $6.60sa barrel in car
lots, and the stocks in the Atlantic
states are low, for the buyers have
been holding back for more stable
prices. Now they have reached the
conclusion that lower prices are not
probable and the demand is a trif1e
stronger. Last year some of the Min
neapolis mills ground Canadian wheat
in bond. 1t is realized that this year
the Canadian mills will need all the
wheat the Dominion can raise, and
therefore the Minneapolis miflers will
have to look elsewhere for wheat.
There is a peculiar condition before
the millers. Wheat from the Pacific
coast is. being loaded on steamers for
transportation to New York by way
of Cape Horn, a most unusual propo-
sition. Many samples of Pacific coast

Special Council Committee on
Good Roads VIII Recommend
Sufficient Appropriation

).
The good roads special council COM
nittee, at a meeting yesterday, decided
that it will recommend to the council
and the conference committee the
placing In the budget Of an amount
sufficient to put several streets in
good condition, connecting with the
most important county roads. 1t was
agreed that the members of the COM
mites and several invited guests shall
this afternoon begin a tour of the
roads on automobiles as guests of the
Good Roads association. The trip will
begin at 1870, and it is thought that it
viii require two afternoons. to go over
all the roads thatsneed attention.
1t was agreed by the committee that
the roads to receive attention first
shall be the theroughfares that con-
meet with county roads that accomn1o-
date the greatest number of farmers,
as the object is to bring the producers
to st. Paul and provide them with
roads that will permit their coming
and returning with loads worthy of
the trip. 1t is said that the streets
leading into the city are in such condi-
ton that it is in many instances i'm
possible for the farmers to either haul
In or return with proper load.
Gustave Scholle, president of the
Good Roads association, said that he
had been over many Of the outlying
roads. He pointed out those in good
condition. those practically impossible
and those that will answer if properly
repaired. Mr.. Scholle contended that
is the duty of the city to select GER
tain Of the most prominent and most
used thoroughfares and put them in
good condition, after which it will be
possible toNgiye attention to less pop
ular streets. 1t was agreed that the
members OF. the committee will inspect
the following thoroughfares and then
decide upon the ones that will first be
put in condition.
Streets That Need Repairing
South Robert street to Annapolis
street, and Annapolis from South Rob-
'ert to Oakdale avenue. connecting
with the German road. This is design
ed to accommodate the farmers from
the vicinity of South ST. Paul, South

1t was figured that the property on
