Seeks Death Four Times.

MANKATO, Mimi, Sept. 5.-Jamea
Gallagher, who was bound over to the
grand jury on the charge Of burglary
in the tn I'd degree, having been caught,
it is alleged, in the room of a boarder,
at the Commercial house, made four
desperate attempts to commit suicide
1T the county jail
He made two attempts yesterday af-
ternoon, one in the night and one toi
ay. Each time he attempted to
strangle himself, once with his necktie
once with his shirt-sleeves holders
tied together, once with a strip of tick
ing torn from his bed, and once with
his hands. A constant guard is kept
over him.
The officers suspect Gallagher il
wanted somewhere for a more serious
offense. He is "A, smooth-s shaver and
has a New York Bowery brogue. He
has pocketbook with postal order re-
ceipts made to William H. Smith at
various places. He says he was an ell
evated railway conductor in New York
city until July 5.

WHEAT AND FLOUR FOR JAPS
HEAVY TONNAGE GOING BY
STEAMERS-NUMANTIA is
NOW WAITING.
Eight Extra Steamers Chartered to
Help Carry the Orders to
the Orient.

Fifty thousand tons Of wheat and
flour have been sold for shipment to
Japan with the prospect of the orders
being increased to 100000 tons, de-
pending upon the extent of the fam
inc in Japan and the prices and grades
here. The Japanese require for some
uses low grade of wheat, which must
be supplied at low price, says the
Oregonian.
From the indications now the first
part of the crop of the Inland Empire
will go to the Orient and the rest to
Europe. For this purpose not only is
the big liner Numantia waiting at the
docks, but many others are on the
way or chartered. One Japanese firm,
Mitsui & Co.. has chartered six big
tramps to carry wheat or flour to
Japan. The largest of these, the
Knight Errant, Is a steamer 500 fee.
over all, drawing % feet inches,
when loaded and capable of carrying
close to 5000 tons. Besides these it is
understood Mitsui & Co., will charter
two or four more This will give them
tonnage to transport the greater part
of the $4,000 tons already ordered.
The regular line of steamers plying
between here and the Orient, the Port
land & Asiatic Steamship company,
will carry large quantities and have
chartered two extra steamers to help
the four they now have on the run.
These six steamers will have an ag.
gregate carrying capacity almost as
large as the number chartered by Nit
sui & Co. But as they will carry gen.
eral cargo as we'll as wheat and flour
it is safe to say they will carry 25,00t
tons to the Orient, of which 1880
will go to Japan.
Much concern has been felt among
shipping men as to whether these i'm
mense shipments to the Orient, to-
gether with the large number of steam
ers left idle in the Pacific on account
of the cessation of war, would not
cause a break in the rates to Europe
established by the shipowners' union,
Some have contended it would and hav
waited results, while a few others have
taken some ships at union rates. A
few ships were reported taken for
Portland loading at 25s, which is Is Sd
under the union rates, but these have
been nonunion ships and will nard-
ly affect the general situation.

FROM NORTHWEST PAPERS
Over 1000 Carloads of Sheep.

Up to the present time IT'S car
loads of sheep have been shipped from
HALEY, Ketcnum and Bellevue to the
eastern markets this season. Two
hundred and forty more carloads will
be shipped next month. If cars can be
secured 100 cars will go out by the
close of this week. Last year only
about 725 carloads were shipped over
this branch road. This year will un-
,ioubtedly prove the banner one for
sheep shipments, the total number OF
carloads probably exceeding the 1000
mark.
The dam across Wood river about
a mile above town will be completed
today. This has been constructed by
the Cramer Electric company, to fur
nish water for it's electric light plant:
The dam proper is 21O feet in length

Murder Bureau Busy In Chicago

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. 5.-Twenty-tWo
murders were committed in Chicago
during August, the first month in
which a new murder bureau, directed
by Assistant Chief of Police Schuettler,
has been at work. In majority OF
the cases the murderers have been ar
rested.
Twelve men and four women were
killed with revolvers during the
month. Several of the murders are
traceable to unhappy domestic con-
ditions, two of the men having been
killed by their wives. Four men were
killed in stabbing ARRAYS.
The coroners records show that los
murders have been committed in the

STRONG PRESSURE BROUGHT TO
BEAR UPON GOVERNOR TO
COMMUTE SENTENCE.
italian Consul at Seattle Has Taken
Up His Case-Petitions From
Prominent Italians Presented.

Petitions bearing the names of hun
state are being forwarded to Cover
nor Mead asking him to commute the
death sentence of Frank Pasquale to
Imprisonment for life. Pasquale is
sentenced to be hanged at the peniten-
tiary September Is and as the time
draws near friends of the condemned
man are redoubling their efforts to Sc
cure executive clemency.
The aid of the Italian consul at Seat
tie has been enlisted as has the in
fluence of prominent Italians In this
state and Oregon. Governor Mead
has promised to closely look into
PasQuale's case and it is believed
that he will grant the request Of the
petitions being received and COM
mute the sentence although no such
intimation has come from Olympia as
yet nor would the governor discuss the
case while in Walla Walla last week.
1t was reported that Governor Mead
had a long interview with Pasquale
while at the prison a few days ago but
this is denied by officials at the peni-
tertiary. Pasquale is anxiously wait
ing some news regarding his case and
as the days pass he is becoming more
haggard and hopeless. Since mis- be-
trayal to the attorneys who failed to
perfect his appeal to the supreme
court, Pasquale has about lost faith
in mankind, although he has the as
surance of friends that they will do
their utmost to save him from death
on the ScaffOld.

ment has created a furry among poll
ticians VINO have been embarrassed by
the case and had hoped it would be
permitted to die.

mouth Of Snake river Saturday after

water. The lower deck is submerged
to a depth of two feet but the cabin
and upperworks are we'll above the.
