STATE TIMBER SALES CLOSE
Auditor iverson Makes the Recon-
mendation to Board.
From Mondays Dai


Samuel G. Iverson, state auditor, has
recommended to the state timber board
that cash sales of timber on state
lands be discontinued. Through reports
from the timber cruisers of his de-
partment, Mr.. Iverson has become con
WINGED that the state has suffered SER
ious loss from these sales and he so
reported at a meeting of the tim
Der board held yesterday.
The state timber board is made up
of the principal state officers, and it
has control of all timber on state
lands. Under law authorizing the
practice this board each year has con-
Quoted sales of timber on tracts where
the amount of timber was estimated
at less than 100000 feet. By the terms
of sale the purchasers were allowed
two logging seasons in which to cut
the timber, and were restricted to lOO,-
600 feet in each case. The board has
authority to grant an extension of one
logging season in the time allowed for
cutting and in some instances this was
done, although this year the board
has restricted that privilege.
From the reports of the timber cruis-
ers it is learned that in many cases the
logging companies have cut more than
the 100000 feet allowed them by the
terms of their purchases, and thus the
state has lost valuable timber. But the
100 .OOO-f feet limit was the states own
estimate of the amount of timber on
the land.

WIND AT WORTHINGTON.
Barn Blown to Pieces, Part of Which
Has Never Been Found.

From MONDAYS Dailv.
From the, Herald This section was
visited by one of the worst wind and
rain storms in years Tuesday night
The storm came up about midnight
and from the amount of damage repor-
ted as a result it must have come
near being a cyclone.
There was more or less dam
age done to trees in Worthington
while south of town a number of
buildings We're blown down. The storm
took Pete Hawkins barn away and
he has not found all of it yet. 1t
is thought it went out to look for
the memorable Berkhimer, for it started
off i'm the direction he went when he
visited the Hawkinson place last fall
and shot some of Mr. Hawkinson's
tame ducks. Nothing has been heard
of Berkhimer since that time and Mr..
Hawkinson has about given up hopes
of getting his barn back. Mr.. Haw-
kinsOn had five horses in the barn
at the time, but none of them were
killed or injured.
The storm was also bad at Adrian
and Sibley and much damage is re-
ported at both places. The telephone
wires were down between here and
Sibley Wednesday. There have been
number of washouts reported along
the Omaha line.
A barn belonging to Charles Peter
son, living south of town, was also
blown away, but no stock was killed.
Other buildings in various parts OF
the country were destroyed by the
wind. A good many people had

HEAD CAMP ARRANGEMENTS.
Modern Woodmen to Meet in Peoria,
H., June is to 20.

H., June is to 20.
From Mondays Daily.
The Woodmen in Mankato have very
little conception of what it means to
serve on a committee that is to en-
tertain Head Camp. Peter Werner,
of Peoria, as secretary of the local
committee, is the recipient of requests
for some things that may not be cas-
lily supplied, but like the Western
pianist, he is doing his-wen. YOU
know-his level best. State Deputy
+. E. kester, of Nebraska, Head Con
sui Talbot's state, evidently has seen
a circus parade, and he writes Wer
ner to furnish him a chariot drawn by
six prancing milk white steeds for use
of their delegation in the BIG parade

vised him that his best would be n
band wagon drawn by coal black
horses. The Californian delegation are
more modest, and asked for eighteen
saddle horses and ground on which to
pitch a fruit" tent They will get
what they ask for. A modest base ball
fan read of the lavish entertainment
being provided for each delegates and
"liIeS' Ion 90 TO any extra eX-
pense on my account. Get me a

makes an easy request. sect me a

lclans. | like to sleep late.' And
he's coming out to this real live
west" to spend a whole week. Just
what this delegate has in mind to
bring can be guessed: ''We will need
special accommodations for two goats.
Our eighteen delegates can hang up
almost any old place" This other
man from the East never had nerve
and has been West before. This is
his warning: ''Watch out for the 'old
grey mare and the big horn.-A. s."
The local committee is up on its
toes" and every request is receiving
prompt attention.

DRINKS ACID IN
CROWDED TREATER
Young Girl Swallows Poison
During Performance in Nick
eIodeOn and Dies

AS the crisis OF a cheap melodrama
was being enacted late last night in a
nickelodeon at 1918 Fillmore street, a
pretty, young girl supposed TO have
been Anna Miller of San Jose. drained
most of the contents of a bottle of car
bolic acid and a moment later lay
writhing in agony on the floor. Within
half an hour the girl died at the cen
trail emergency hospital without re-
gaining consciousness.
Five minutes before the young
woman drank the potion several per-
sons in the theater noticed her weep
ing bitterly. but paid no attention to
her strange actions. While the lights
We're turned low and the orchestra was
playing soft sad music, a young
man sitting next to the girl noticed her
reach into her pocket suddenly and.
bringing out a bottle. place it to her
lips
The man quickly Knocked the bottle
out of the girls hands, but not before
she had drained most of the acid
On the girls person was found an
envelope addressed to Miss Anna Miller,
1888 Turk street. San Francisco. On
velope was written, Return in 10 days
to Mr.. Miller, 274 Pivost street, San
jose"
1t is believed that the girls name is
Anna Miller and that the letter was
written to her from one of her rela-
tiyes in San Jose
On Tuesday evening the same girl
created quite a stir in Coney Island by
screaming out with pain. When ques-
toned by Patrolman Arthur McPhee
she admitted that she was severely
burned by the contents OF a bottle of
carbolic acid which broke in her
stocking.
