Wife of a soldier, the sister Of four.
and member OF family that sent TWEEN
tY.two to the war Of the rebellion. is
Minnesota s candidate for the national
president Of the Ladies of the q. A. r.
Other candidates for the presidency are
Mrs Henrietta Gerwig, Allegheny, Pa;
Mrs. Ada. L. Shannon, Philadelphia,
"a; Mary Jameson, Marine CITY.
Mich; Alma Dalton, Kansas, and Han
nah Chamberlain, Albany, N. Y. Two
candidates from PENNSYLVANIA have an
nounced their candidacy, but the pres
ent treasurer, Mrs. Ella S. Jones, who
is from Pennsylvania. Since the secre-
tary must always be from the same
state, It not the same city ), as the
president, were one of these : candi-
dates elected, then three national Of
hcers, president, secretary and treas
urer would be in Pennsylvania. This
situation is expected to defeat these
candidates.
Mrs. Lobdell was born in New York,
but she moved at an early age to L.,
Sueur county, Minnesota, where. she
lived during the Indian massacres. She
studied as an elocutionist in both Eu-
rope and America, and after her return
was heard as dramatic reader thruout
the country. She later organized the
Gettysberg circle. l.. of G. A.. R., in
Minneapolis and was it's first president.
The next year she was senior vice presi-
dent and later she served a term as
department president, declining a re-
election. During her administration
fifteen new circles were organized.
Since that time she has held responsible
positions as department counsellor, ma
tional corresponding secretary, national
inspector and others. 81
Mrs. Lobdell is well-known thruout
the organization as speaker of great
force and eloquence.. She has borne
greetings to many national and depart
mental conventions. s&t %E>5''' So.
The Minnesota ladies of the G.. A. R.
are not undertaking the strength Of the
other candidates, but they feel that
with Mrs. Lobdell's reputation. her ex-
perience, her ardor in the work of the
order and her high personal attain
ments, it will be difficult thing to de-
feat her. But they, are working.

KILLED BY A THROWN BALL.
Spectator Hit on the Head Dies Few Hours Later.

SNW eeSNAs e~-~~~
 New York. June 1s.-Martin Do ran, who lived at 344 East Thirty third street, was watching baseball game between the Carmelites and Mohawks, boys scrub teams, at Twenty-second street and the Eaat river yesterday afternoon, when he was hit on the head by thrown ball, which caused his death few hours later. Detectives of the Thirty-fifth street station are now searching for the person who threw the ball. In the course of the game a foul had been tipped on the bat into the circle of spectators. Some one near Doran picked up the ball and threw 1t with some force in the direction of the pitchers box. It struck Doran on the left temple. The man dropped in- sensible. but quickly rallied and boarded a car home.
 Mother, I've been hit on the head by ball and think that l am going to die,", were his first words on en- tering his home. Dr J. Murphy of 233 East Thirty-f1fth street and Father Corners of the Carmelite church were summoned. The injured man lost the | power of speech, sank rapidly and died at 7.30 o'clock.
