DEMENTED WOMAN BROWNS
Mrs. Theresa Voltin Leaps Into
Unused Well.
Her Body Found Later by Party
of neighbours.
Lived With Daughter in Township
of West Newton.

Neighbors of Mrs. Theresa Voltin,
residing on the Chas. Boyer farm in
the township of West Newton, found
her body in an old we'll near her home
shortly before noon last Wednesday.
While mentally deranged tits supposed
that she resolved to commit suicide by
drowning and her fatal leap into the
we'll followed. She was not missed for
several hours and when discovered
was quite dead.
About a year ago Mrs. Voltin, who
was Sc years of age, suffered a severe
attack of the grip. It left her mind in
an unbalanced state and at intervals
she has shown signs of mild insanity.
She lived with her daughter, Miss
Josephine Voltin, and last Wednesday
morning, while the latter was doing
the family washing, she asked her
mother to get a clothes line. The
elder woman departed on the errand
but when she did not return her
daughter became alarmed
She searched the premises but could
find nothing and then went to several
neighbors. AS she was returning with
these people the old we'll was examined
and her mothers corpse discovered at
the bottom. Coroner Merritt of St.
Peter, was Immediately notified but
after visiting the farm and viewing
the remains he decided that it was a
plain case of self-destruction and that
there was no necessity for an inquest.
Mrs. Voltin was native of Bohemia
but had lived in West Newton for a
long period. About three years ago
her husband died and for short time
she made her home in this city. She
leaves two daughters, Josephine Vol
/ tin. with whom she made her home,
and Mrs. Ed Lemke of this city, and
one son, Bernhard Voltin, of North
/ Dakota. The funeral services were
held Friday from the Catholic church
in St. George.

COLLINS GAINS.
JOHN SCHMELZ,

There is absolutely no question that
Collins is gaining in parts Of the state
where he was thought to be the weak
est. The writer was over the western
part of the state last week and in con-
versatiOn with some of the politicians
they admitted that Dunn's chances
were not SO strong as they were some
time ago, and that was before Dunn
got into public notice as a tist-fghter
Even Redwood county, which has al
ways boasted that it would send a full
Dunn delegation to the convention,
has begun to figure that there will be
some in the delegation who will be for
some other man. The fact is the men
who usually figure out the slate for
the county politics in Redwood coun-
ty will find that the people oft the coun-
ty are going to figure a little them
selves in the matter of governor. Lac
qui Parle county is in the same list
and those who were SO confident that
the county would go solid for the
Princeton statesman have made up
their minds that it will be divided and
are working now to see that the dele
cation is not more than half for Col
Inns. This sentiment is spreading and
the result is very evident for it is some
time before the. convention will be
called.
In reference to the matter of COVER
nor. the character of the two men was
made manifest by the action of Mr..
Dunn when he let his temper get the
best of him in a controversy with the

NORTHWEST is FAVORED
St. Louis Road Most Direct Route to
Exposition.

No other section of the United States
is so particularly favored regarding
transp ortation to the Worlds Fair at
ST. Louis as the Northwest, for the
reason that the Minneapolis & St.
Louis railway is the only road that
runs direct to the Fair Grounds, and
is the only line that exclusively has a
station of it's own directly at the en-
trance of the grounds.
This feature will play very impor-
tant part with visitors to the world S
greatest show from Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Montana, Manitoba, Wis
consin, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Iowa and Minnesota. 1t is also the
most direct and shortest route from
the Twin Cities; saves time and elimi-
mates that most disagreeable feature
of travel that one must necessarily
meet with on other lines, namely the
changing from one car to another en-
route.
The M. & ST.. L. trains are composed
of the most modern and latest design
of estibuled Pullman Sleepers and re-
clining chair cars, and with their buf-
fet, library and exquisite dining cars
attached, leave no want of the travel
er unsupplied in any manner.
! Eighteen hours ride from st. Pau
or Minneapolis places one right at the
door, as it were, of the main entrance
to the fair grounds. Near the Mime.
apolis & ST. Louis station may be
found hotels of all descriptions, which
will save much worry and anxiety as
we'll as exhaustion to many visitors
For, those who are compelled to &C
down town to the Union station, where
all other roads discharge their thous
ands of passengers from the east anl
south, must necessarily travel severa
miles in street cars to reach thu
grounds.
One will also get a fairly good view
of the grounds from the large obser
walton windows of the M. & st. L
trains, just before arriving at theil
exclusive worlds fair station. West

SUICIDES BENEATH WHEELS
Shakopee Man Ends His Life Near
Sleepy Eye.
Nicholas Young Flung Himself in
Front of Train.
His Neck Was Broken and He Was
Killed Instantly.

Chicago & Northwestern passenger
No. IA ran down and killed Nicholas
Young of Shakopee, about mile east
of the Sleepy Eye station last We'd
nesday evening. Young was strang-
er in Sleepy Eye and reached that city
on the day of his death. He loafed
about until evening and then con-
cealed himself near the track. As the
train approached he dashed up the
grade and flung himself before the
locomotive, his actions being SO rapid
that the engineer could not avert the
tragedy.
From the peculiar way in which
Young met his death, says the Dis
patch. it looks like case of suicide.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Tom Hughes and Engineer Gates.
Gates and his fireman say that the
man crawled out from the grass and
onto the track on his hands and
knees, and when they first saw him it
was impossible to tell whether it was
an animal or a man.
Young had his head across the rail
and the coW-catcher struck him, break
ing his neck and crushing his skull.
The passenger train brought the body
back to the station where it was lden-
titled by Rev. Stolz and Conductor
John Geiser, who knew him. Nothing
was found in the dead mans clothing
but a piece of paper on which was
written "Mr. Nicholas Young, Shak-
opee, Mimi"
! Police Officer Jacobsen telegrapheo
Coroner L. A. Fritsche and the Shak,
opee police. The coroner wired back
that no inquest would be necessary
and reply was received from the
Shakopee authorities that Young's
friends would take charge of the body
The remains were turned over to ST
Johns society, of which Young was {
member, and taken to Matters under
taking rooms to be prepared for bur
ial. The body was sent to Shakope'

political editor of the Minneapolis
Journal and attempted to batter him
with his umbrella ard calling him all
the vile names that are to be found in
the category of men who make a prac-
tice of breaking the second command
ment. Whatever the provocation Mr..
Dunn should have refrained from this
attack. 1t is not what is to be expect
ed of the man who is aspiring to the
place of governor of the state. Do
you suppose that Mr.. Collins could be
made to make such a public disgr ace
full exhibition of himself? 1t simply
brings out the difference in the char
acter OF. the two men and shows what
this paper has always contended, that
in the choice of the men for the posi-
tion of governor lies not in dlscrlm-
nation as to ability but in the dignity
| with which they will administer the
Office. When we can get a man with
clean lips. who does not find his pleas

their political advancement, let US

There is almost universal complaint
about the scarcity of money and the
difficulty experienced in collections.
No particular cause seems to be as
signed for this but it is generally laid
to the inferior grade of wheat raised
last year and the speculation in land.
Iowa seems to be in a worse condition
than this state.

It is we'll for Mr.. Miller, or any
other man, for that matter, to interest
himself in getting his name before the
people as an aspirant for the place of
congressman. Mr.. McCleary might
die and it would be handy for the gov
ernor to know whom to appoint in his
place, but as to getting elected at the
primaries the man who defeats Nc
Cleary will have to get up earlier in
the morning than Mr.. Miller does.
We believe as long as man does his
duty and attends to the business OF
his district impartially and honestly,
the longer he stays among the law
makers of the nation the better fitted
he is to secure legislation beneftting
his district. There is no real call fol
change at this time.

this. If Mr.. Scwarz persists in being
