SHOOTING OVER A GIRL.
An Affair Which Occurred Near Mar.
shall a Few Days Ago.

| From Saturdays Daily
The Marshall News Messenger tells
the story of "A shooting affair which oc-
cured in the town of Amiret, few
days ago. The shootist was Jacob
Boerian, who has recently been EN-
ployed by his brother who is on the
Laudenslauger farm in the town OF
! Clifton. He also has a sister in the
city of Marshall. He is well known
among his nationality here, and form
erly worked on the railroad section, and
also was employed on the Sender farm.
The victim of the shooting is Mrs.
Mary Loke, wife of Frans Loke, and the
cause of the shooting is the daughter of
Frans -Loke, who is said to be engaged
to be married to Boerian. The
daughters name is Louise, and she is
eighteen years old. On Thursday Boer-
jan met Frans Loke, his wife and
daughter driving on the road, and all
stopped for conversation, in which Boer-
jan insisted on immediate marriage with
Louise, and wanted her to accompany
him to Marshall at once to procure the
necessary license. The girl objected,
saying she preferred to wait a year or
two, and that she was too young to get
married then. On Friday Boerjan went
to the Loke home and found Louise
standing in the door way. The termina-
ton of their conversation, according to
the girl, was his assertion that when he
came again she would not be standing
in the doorway, but would take trip
to Marshall, the girl getting the impress
sion that she would be forced to go
against her will. The family were
alarmed at his threats, and fearing his
return, they all went over to Adrian
Lokes place on section four in Amiret
township, brother of Frans, who lived
a mile distant In the evening, while
Adrian and Frans were out at the gran
airy, Boerjan came to the house, threw
open the door, and aiming q Shot gun
at Mrs. Mary Loke discharged its con
tents, which tore away the flesh from
the left arm, and lodged several shot in
her left side. He then ran out on some
breaking, followed by the two brothers,
one of whom had secured revolver and
fired several times at Boerian. The lat
ter fell, Frans returned to the house
saying they need fear Boerjan no more
as he had been killed. The men then
went out for the body, and found the
man gone. He was uniniured, and went
to his brothers on the Laudenslager
place, htched a horse to a buggy, and
evidently intended to make Hickman,
with the intention of boarding the night
train east

RekindleS Life
in the Nerve Cells

Suicide. insanity, falling sickness,
paralysis. These are some of the re-
suits Of worn-out nerves. No one would
neglect disease , dreadful in its re-
suits as nervous exhaustion If the dan
ger were only realized with the first
symptoms.
The time to begin the restoration Of
the nerves by the use Of DR.. A, w.
Chases Nerve Pills is when you
find yourself unable to sleep at nights,
suffering from headaches or neuralgia
pains. indigestion or weak heart action
Loss Of flesh and weight, growing
weakness and debility, tendency to
neglect the duties of the day, gloomy
forebodings for the future. are other in
dications Of depleted nerves.
You cannot liken DR.. A w. Chase's
Nerve Pills to any medicine you ever
useA. They are a nerve vitalizer and
tissue-builder Of exceptional power.
Naturally and gradually, they re-
kindle life in the nerve cells and form
new red corpuscles in the blood-the

PROVIDING FOR SUPPLIES
Estim ates for the State lnstitution
for the Quarter.

From Monday Daily.
State board of control has Just APP
proved estimates for supplies for the
twelve institutions under its jurisdic-
ton for May, June and July, amount
inc in the aggregate to about Sill 800
The estimates include all of the supplies
of every nature which will be needed at
the institutions SO far as they can be
known in advance.
The estimates are prepared by the SUI
perintendents of the institutions a
month in advance of the quarter for
which the supplies are needed. The
items are tabulated in their classes by
the board and submitted to the dealers
for bids. The making of these estimate
sheets to be submitted to the bidders is
BIG task, the schedules when com
pleted including 10000 to $4,000 sheets
of legal cap paper.
In some of the lines, such as hard
ware, samples of the supplies are sub
mitted and meeting of the superin
tendents is held for the purpose of Sc
lecting the supplies best adapted to the
purposes for which they are wanted at
the institutions. These samples are kept
for six months and then returned to the
bidders.
The aggregate amount of the est
mates for the next quarter is lo%er
than for the average quarter, due the
fact that during the summer months
the cost of the foodstuffs needed for the
institution is reduced by the products
of the farms maintained in connection
with the institutions.

IMPROVING THE PARK
Custodian Hodge Doing Good Work
at MInneopa Resort.

Work has commenced on first class
pavilion and refreshment place at Min
neopa. This will be greatly appreciat-
ed by visitors.
The work of cleaning up the park is
progressing nicely. All is being done
that Mr.. Hodge can obtain authority
for doing. An iron fence of the most
substantial construction is being made
in Mankato to put around the edge of
the falls. Wooden stairs were author
lied. MIR. Hodge recommended cement
and bids are under consideration for
same but the increased cost causes a
halt. The damp wet condition would
make wooden stairway short lived
and slippery. The cement stair would
be permanent and it is thought best to
wait awhile if necessary to obtain

CUT OFF THE ~"
Nebraska Legislators Are Mad q
Chancellor Andrews.


Lincoln, Neb., April 2.-Alleging that
the Nebraska university has accepted a
gift from John ID. Rockefeller and is an
apologist for predatory wealth" mem
bers of the state senate have turned a
deaf ear to appeals for liberality to-
wards the institution.
The building allowance has been ruth
lessly cut off, while the finance commit
tee coldly referred educators to the one
mill levy for all wants. To use this
sum for buildings and maintenance
means retrogression.
Two years ago Chancellor Andrews
accepted $4,000 from Rockefeller to
erect society building to be called
"The Temple" On several occasions he
has defended rich men and great for
tunes. The hostility of the reform leg
islature has been aroused.

No woman can be healthy and well il

Gus BlOmberg Jr. Is Near
Deaths Door.
FORMERLY CLERK OF COURT.
St. Peter Man Shoots Himself With
Suicidal Intent; Coming Trial
Cause of the Rash Act.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
G. A. Blomberg, Jr., former clerk o
Nicollet county, is dying at his home il
st. Peter from self inflicted wound
Fearing the outcome of his approach
ing trial for the illegal misuse of public
funds, he fired revolver bullet into hi!
head 1t entered the right ear and it is
a miracle that death was not in
Simultaneous. The ball lodged in his
brain.
Until few years ago Mr.. Blomberg
was regarded as one of st. Peters lead
ing citizens. In 1904, after he had held
the office of clerk of the court for
thirteen years, he was defeated in the
primary campaign, and subsequently a
number of alleged irregularities were
discovered in his accounts. An ac-
countant from the office of the public
examiner made an investigation of his
office and found a shortage of up
wards of $500. This was paid in full
by the former clerk, but the Nicolet
county grand jury at the term of court
last June indicted him on four separate
counts. His arrest in Montana fol-
lowed and after a short confinement
he was released on bail
Yesterday afternoon he and his wife
sat talking at their home. She was
called away for a few minutes and
when she returned she found her hus-
band lying across a bed in a pool of
blood. He had placed revolver against
his right ear and fired bullet into his
brain.
After the tragedy he retained the use
of his faculties long enough to make a
statement to his wife and doctor, but
early last evening he became uncon-
scious, but regained consciousness again
this morning. But he cannot live.
On Saturday evening Blomberg was
drinking heavily, and made the state
ment to a number of people that he was
going to make away with himself. They
thought his talk was that of an intoxi-
Gated man, and paid no further atten-
ton to the threat of self-destruction.
About two o'clock in the afternoon a
building owned by brother of the sui
eide burned at st. Peter. Albert Blom-
berg is a clerk at the Dick clothing
house. He owned building, the lower
floor of which was occupied by Miss
Young, the milliner. Blomberg and fam
lily occupied the upper story. The build
ing was pretty badly burned, but most
of Miss Young's millinery stock was
saved and good portion of the fam
ily's furniture was gotten out. The fire
caught from a chimney and the roof
was burned off entirely. {.
