that was sent to Peterborough, Eng
land, a short time before the sender
F. B. woodward, crawled up the steps
leading to his room in an apartment
house on Vine, west of Thirteenth
street, and blew out his brains with a
revolver.
To make tht identification sure,
Woodward described himself as to
height and age and signed his name.
This melodramatic act of Woodward
became known yesterday in the receipt
by Coroner Jermon of a cablegram
from the police authorities of Peters,
borough. England, asking whether such
a man had killed himself and what it
all meant The cable message had
been sent to the chief of police by
woodward.
AS a result of yesterdays message

The dead mans baggage gave indica-
tions of refinement, and this clew, with
the development of yesterday, confirms
the belief that the man is a member of
a good family.

In running the Sixty-f1rst street ex-
tension to Ascot park 1t was evidently
the intention of the street railway to
use this as a temporary or as a Spe-

an outlet from the Moneta avenue line
that would make a permanent through
cross line eventually connecting both OF
the Redondo branches, the Vermont
avenue-San Pedro branch, crossing
Figueroa street, Moneta avenue, Main
street, San Pedro street extension, Cen

Long Beach line, thus making a grid

rumor that the Huntingtons are inter-

DULUTH GETS THE

The Date is Set For June Is.
County Conventions
June f.

Duluth gets the republican state
convention, and it will be held in
the zenith city June l3, calling to
| order at 10 a. M. There will be 1000
delegates, Dased on the average vote
cast for candidates on the state ticket
in 1904.
The county conventions will be
held June 6, one week carrier, and
both dates fall on Wednesday. Satur-
day, June 2, is recommended as the
date for the caucuses.
These questions were decided today
in brief session of the republican
state committee at the Merchants

porated in the call the statement
that the convention will indorse a

shal Grimshaw, holding his own vote
and the proxy of E. E. Smith, chang
ed to Duluth, and NJ. H. Boutelle
followed suit at once, giving Duluth
a majority, whereupon St. Paul made
it unanimous.
After Duluth's victory, John Dia-
mOnd of Mankato offered the follow
ing:
Resolved, That when the chairman
and executive committee publish the
call for the next republican state
convention that said call include the
following words: "For the purpose
of nominating and indorsing a candi-
date for the United States senate to
be elected by the incoming legisla-
ture.' and that the above mentioned
words be inserted in the call the first
paragraph above the state ticket.
The date was then fixed after short
conference. June II was suggested
by John Diamond, but Tuesday was
objected to, and the later date taken
in defnace of the '13'' superstition.
James A. Peterson opposed an early
convention, and said the party should
take plenty of time to pick ou cam
didate. He favored July date.
E. f. Corliss declared that the con-
vention hOuld name the candidate

convention was to :'quit lighting

Park Improvement.

Mayor Lundgren has put plan
on foot that is going to result in an
important improvement to the city
park The dam put in the river at
the 500 railroad bridge has not been
a success, so Mr.. Lundgren conceived
the idea OF getting the 500 Company
to put in a more substantial struc-
ture Just below the park near the
foot bridge leading to the Vented
residence. The new dam will be
about five feet high and will raise the
water high enough to fill the canal
across the neck at the west end of the
park thus making that place an ac-
tual island. 1t is expected that the
water will be raised in the river as
far back as the bridge, going west.
Station Agent Chaffee recommend
ed the plan TO- the general offices Of
the company and they have been &C
cepted...' Two carloads Of timber and
five carloads of stone have arrived al
ready for the constrr ction of the
new dam. All the expense the city
will be to is to move the material
from the cars to the site Of the dam.
Fred Nelson has put in an applica-
tion for permission to run a launch
on the river providing the dam is put
in. and as that is assured now the
boat will also be sure thing.

The Weather.

The weather the past week seems
to indicate that spring is here. The
ice in the river went out on the last
day Of March and the snow is gone
from the fields which are in large
part dry and ready for spring opera
tions. Last Monday and Tuesday
we're somewhat blustry and threaten
ed snow, but the northern currents
served only to clear the atmosphere
of moisture carried up by the warm
south. wind the days preceding. We
have heard of few instances OF
farmers being out on the fields with
the drag already, and by the end of
this week, or at least the beginning
of next, seeding will be in full swins .
Better sprin g weather than we are
having could not be desired. "
