Looks Like Continuing.

Newman Erb, president Of the MinneapO-
lis e. St Louis Railroad, takes an optimis-
tic view Of the condition Of business He
said yesterday that general business was
distinctly better and the Improvement had

cal considerations have been discounted 10
a large extent, and the promise Of new bus
mess, especially for the railway construc-
ton companies, is good. The immediate
requirements for new cars for the rail-
roads are not less than 5000 or all kinds d"
Nr. Erh said that he attached importance
10 the advance in the price ot copper,

TRIES TO DROWN
WAS TOO FAT

Donaldsonyllle, Fla, Sept. Sim
so fat, even my wife no longer loves
me, said note left by Wilson Ar
noldt, a house and sign painter, just
before he jumped into the Mississippi
river
The would-be suicides plans were
laid carefully enough, but he failed
to take into account the specific
gravity of his S00-odd pounds of
avolrdupois when he took the plunge
from the ferry landing here. Ar
noldt went down a few feet, prompt
ly came to the surface, and stayed
there.
Two miles down stream he floated,
finally being picked up by a party in
a skin. Beyond an upset stomach.
there was nothing the matter with
him, and finally, after being pulled to
the shore, he promised not to try it
any more.
IF | can float so we'll, mHybe
can become an expert swimmer" he
said Il think I'll try II. possibly 1t
might take of some of the flesh"

TWICE.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wlnE.l

Portland, Ore, Sept. S.-An autop-
sy performed on the body of Mrs
Daisy Wehrman here today developed
the fact that the woman had not been
attacked as was believed and the
motive, which the authorities be-
lieved explained the murder of the
woman and her four-year-old son in
their small cabin near Scappoose,
melted away.
Examination of the bodies showed
that Mrs. Wehrman had been shot
three times in the head and her
skull crushed by a hatchet. Two
bullets had penetrated the childs
skull and his skull had been crushed
also.

with light hair in connection with
