SALVATION LASS
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Quick Witted Ensign Dashes
Poison Bottle From
Her Lips

Anna Nelson, seventeen-year- old Sal
walton Army lass, attempted suicide at the
South Minneapolis barracks, 1909 Sixth
street south, about 2:30 yesterday after
noon, but was prevented from swallowing
the contents of a small vial of carbolic
acid by the army ensign, who snatched it
from her hand.
Homeless, and without profitable en-
ployment or a friend in this country, 9TH
er than an older sister, the girl became
despondent. She Joined the army and
visited the South Minneapolis barracks
frequently with her sister. who is employ
ed by family as domestic, at 1884
Sixteenth avenue south.
A year ago Anna left her little home
In Denmark to join her sister in this coun-
try, and came to Minneapolis. She is
unable to speak the language of her
adopted country and found employment
as a domestic in. number of homes, but
the work seemed too hard and the handi-
cap of being unable to speak English
made her lot still more unhappy.
She often confided to her sister that
life was not worth living and that some
day she would end it all. Her sister was
an enthusiastic member of the Salvation
Army, and finally induced the younger girl
to join the ranks, believing that the ex-
citement of army life and the satisfaction
which she herself seemed to get out of
the religious atmosphere would divert the
mind of her youngest sister.
AS the army lassies and the officers
were giving their experiences, and amid
the "Amens' and "Hallelujahs' the mind
of the young girl gave way. She took the
bottle from her muff, extracted the cork,
and was about to place the bottle to her
lips, when her sister noticed her and
screamed for help. An ensign rushed to
the girls side and grabbed the bottle
from her hands.

We're called and hurried the woman to the
city hospital, but she had not swallowed
any of the drug and she was taken TO the

moved to the county jail.

gress and the Democratic candidate for
mayor. In 1904 it stopped from a
Roosevelt Republican paper to a So
called Democratic paper, supporting the
Democratic candidate for governor. but
giving half-hearted support to the ma
tional ticket
For many years the paper has been
considered thorn in the side of the
Tribune and now that the Lowry inter-
ests control both, the demise of the
Times and its consolidation with the
Tribune can be looked for as soon as
the legislature adjourns and then Mr..
Lowry will be in control of the journal
lstic field and his campaign to succeed
Senator Knute Nelson two years hence
will have the cordial Endorsement of
the unanimous Minneapolis press.

Bonds for Filter Plant

1t is not likely that the question of is
suing bonds for the proposed new filtra-
tion plant for the water department
will come before the city council. The
council has recommended that bonds will
be authorized. The only manner in which
the question will come up will be the re-
ceipt of the resolution passed at the ban
quet of the real estate board. 1t is like
ly that upon receipt or the resolution op-
posing the issuance of bonds it will be
filed. There is no talk of the council re-
scinding its former recommendation. If
there is strong opposition to the bonds the
efforts are being made with the members
of the Hennepin county delegation.
