AFTER GIRLS TRAINING SCHOOL.
Redwood Falls viii Put in Offer of a
Site and Ideal Conditions.

Last Friday morning meeting of
the business men was held at the
city council rooms for the purpose
or getting an expression on propo-
sltlon to extend an invitation to the
legislature to locate the state train
ing school for girls in this vicinity.
No other town has yet been desig-
mated for the site, and it was deemed
worth while to call attention to the
natural advantages of this city for
such location, and upon unanimous
vote OF the representative property
owners, to pledge donation of suit
able grounds for such an institution.
Messrs. Baldwin, Gold and Tyson
were constituted a committee to hold
themselves in readiness to go to the
capital whenever the subject came
up Tor consideration in the comittee
to- whom the project was referred.
AT the same meeting a fund was
subscribed for furnishing a lunch
for the visiting farmers in attend
amce at the farmers club meeting on
Saturday.

SHOOTS FRIEND
THEN HIMSELF
Former Bartender at Fairfax Com.
mits Suicide after Shooting
His Friend.

There was an attempted murder
and suicide at Fairfax last Monday
afternoon. Full details are lacking,
but phone message from there is
to the effect that one Henry Kappa,
bartender ont of a job, walked
UP behind Martin Kunz, a painter
of Fairfax, and fired a bullet into
the latter's head, following up the
act by turning the revolver to bis
own head and ending his life then
and there. The suicide had been
employed in Dickmeyer's saloon,
where the tragedy was enacted, up
to last fall, and after being dis
charged had made threats to end
his life on various occasions. Kunz
was a boon companion, both men
being unmarried, No motive for the
attempted assassination has been adj
vanced. The bullet fired at Knnz
glanced on the skull and the wound is
not fatal. The dead man was about
40 years old.

FUNERAL RITES
AT MIDNIGHT
Weird Ceremonial Rarely Celebrated
is Graphically Described
by Witness.
Governor Johnson Promising
Subject for Democratic
Slate Makers.

A midnight funeral service, with
something between 500 and 800 peo-
pie present, is something out of the
ordinary, and when the service is
conducted by an organization of
monkish knights. with all the solem-
nifty and weirdness of ancient days,
1t becomes a matter Of Importance,
impression, and creates a feeling in
the witness that he ought to get
nearer to his God.
The Knights of Kadosh Of st.
Paul, representing the various de-
grees of Masonry up to and includ-
ing the Both. were called upon by
their Minneapolis brethren to per-
form the funeral rites of Kadosh
over the remains of a member of
the Minneapolis consistory of 32d
degree Masons on Friday night.
March lst. Before his death Frank
6. Brown had made request for
such funeral rites, and for the sixth
time in the United States, and for
the third time in St. Paul three
out of six times in the United States
was the kadosh funeral observed
in the presence of hundreds of men
and women, members of the Ma
sonic fraternity, friends and strang-
Lers Of the deceased, and the body
of the deceased was temporarily
placed at rest in burial recess of
the Masonic Temple.
Seated in the stereopticon room
of the Temple, where every detail
could be plainly seen, the Is minutes
L spent-15 minutes before mid
night and so minutes after-in wit
Messing the extinguishing of each
light, until as the court house clock
struck twelve the room was in
utter darkness and the Masonic
third degree gong joined with the
clock in the tower striking the hour
OF midnight, were probably the
most impressive of any yet spent
by me upon earth.

this advice was approved by those
who have had practical experience.
Near the close of the session Jos.
Tyson responded to an invitation to
give his experience on feeding steers.
The GAZETTE reporter was unable
to hear this and some other parts
of the program.
President Shaver informs US that
Prof. Boss gave the farmers some
good advice about making their club
a permanent means for exchanging
experiences and having social re-
unions and picnics occasionally.

monkish knights, in full monk at
tire, each bearing a lighted candle.
Slowly they marched to the bier of
the dead and then stood on either
side of the casket, while the vener-
able master, DR.. Eugene McCord. at
the head, where the cross of the
order stood forth in the darkness,
slowly read the ritual. Solemnly
and sternly the venerable master
demanded if any one present had
any accusations to make against the
dead man before the judgment of
God was passed. One knight stepped
bodily forward and proclaimed that
as the dead brother was unable to
defend himself against any accuse
tions that there might be made it
should be left for God alone to make
accusations and pass judgement.
Once more the stern voice of the
venerable master rang out demand
ing that if there was any one pres
ent who had accusations to make
let him speak. There was no re-
Spouse and the ceremony went on,
awe inspiring, solemn, almost ghast-
ly in its terrible sternness, the light

MuItnomah County Fair.

The county fair at Gresham
promises to be great success. AS
the time approaches the interest
increases and the enterprising fell
lows having the fair in charge are
jubilant over the prospects.
The Multnomah county exhibit
at Salem, in charge Of A. +. Miller,
will be taken to Gresham by per-
mission of the county court. There
is also available about 5000 in
money which the county court will
donate to the fair, and which will
be used in payment of premiums.
The different superintendents of
divisions all report remarkable sue
cess in securing exhibits and dona-
tions of articles for premiums.
Among the latter may be men
toned a contribution of sIoo from
Richard Wilson; a Jersey bull, val
ued at SIoo; a sewing machine
from Jones Cash store; two sets OF
Haviland china from Prael, Hegele
* Co. cash donations from Allen
* Lewis and Wadhams & Kerr for
best bread; jewelry and paintings
from the Iowa Jeweler and Sanborn
& Vail; and probably hundred or
more useful, but lesser articles from
many other business houses of
Portland. These donated articles
will be worth fully $1,000 and will
all be displayed at the fair with
donors names attached and will be
given away as premiums for best
exhibits.
The contest for queen Of the car
nival is booming and will bring in
big sum, much of which will be
spent in robing the queen and her
maids of honor. Where is Our
candidateI
There is now no doubt of the
fair being a big success.
