MAN OF MYSTERY"
PRESERVES DISGUISE
Still Retains Reticence That Has
Marked His Attitude From
the First.

Edward ]. MacDonaIds third Sunday
In prison is passing.
| For three weeks has the man peen
| shut behind stone walls, with IG2 other
human beings beyond the pale Of soci-
ETY..
But Edward j. Macdonald is not one
OF the l62. Macdonald has taken hu-
man life, and the life was that of a
woman, his wife, whom he shot down
without warning while they were in an
upper corridor Of the Colorado build
ing. Therefore Is Edward Macdonald
regarded as different from the petty
thieves and brawlers, the ne'er-do-weIls;
and failures who people the. District
Jail, and therefore he stands aloha
among the smaller fry caught in the
meshes of the law
So the Sinking negro who furtiyely
snatches a purse and the holder foot
pad who fells his victim, and the PAN
dsrer of cocaine, serving his year-and-a-
day, and all the rest, watched him this
morning while he sat in the corridor
listening to the service of the Catholic
Church.
AT the Jail men through the week
live by the changing OF a bell. They
rise hy bell. they eat. walk, labor az
la~-appointed tasks those who can pray
kneel, and lie down TO sleep at the ring
ing of a bell.
Sunday Brings Relief.
Sunday comes with a welcome relief
to them, for men and women from the
outside world; men and women whose
shoesoles are not of felt, and in whose
hands are no great keys, come to them
on the Seventh Day, once in the MORN
ing when the Catholic service is read.
and once in the afternoon when the
Protestant form of worship is held, to
give them cheer.
Macdonald, the man of mystery"
he has been called, for even his wife's
relatives are not certain that MacDon-
aid is his name, attended ne service
this morning. He was not in the ro-
allowed TO congregate. Men charged
with such crime as stands against
MacDonald.s name, must remain in
their corridors. So with a few other
men, on whose hands lie the taking OF
lives. he remained inside of the south
wing.
He listened with strict attention while
the laymen of the church, priest
the service. When the voices of the
prisoners Joined in the anthems played
by. Mrs. Robert Blaine, Macdonald
Joined, too.
Macdonald Model Prisoner.
Aside from the church services, there
is nothing vastly different about Sun
day in jail. from the days Of the week,
but all Of the prisoners look forward TO
the services, and Macdonald will at
tend the Protestant service this after
noon when 1t begins at o'clock.
He is spoken of as a model prisoner.
His health has improved and he shows
the effects of rest and recuperation. for
he was nearly a nervous wreck after the
shooting. He has few visitors-all of
them men, but still retains the reti-
cence which marked his attitude from
the first.

where matches are scratched and
where cigar and cigaret stubs are
thrown are too frequently the cause
of fires, Tenants visit dark base
ments by means of candles, or old
fashioned oil lamps. Unsafe oil
stoves are sold and employed. Oily
waste is not rarely found in packing
houses, factories and lumber yards.
Property is not carefully watched and
those things that produce fire are i'm
properly guarded. '..
1t is meet that our people should
be instructed and caused to realize
that fire waste is impoverishing our
commonwealth.
Taking into account these vital
considerations for the welfare of our
state, l hereby do proclaim the Sth
day of November, 1911, to be known
as Minnesota Fire Prevention Day,
and urge that it be so recognized and
observed in all the departments of
the state, in all public and private
institutions of learning, and by all
organizations and persons interested
in the social and economic uplift of
our people. 1t is urged that the
press, as the strongest factor in the
development of public sentiment, i'm
ment upon our people.

PROCLAMATION!
That the fire waste is increasing

llaC the nre waste IS increasing
year by year and Is becoming more.
and more appalling within the state
of Minnesota is certain.
To determine by congress of rep
resentative men, interested in the
preservation of the wealth of our
state, what the loss of property has
been by reason of fire, the cause
therefor, and how such waste can be
reduced, will contribute greatly to
the advancement of this state and to
the economic welfare of it's people. r.
The magnitude of loss of property
by fire as we'll as the cost of fire pre-
vention is not grasped by the average
man. 1t is estimated that approxi-
mately one-half a billion dollars is
annually expended by the people of
the United States for this purpose, =
sum one-half as great as the annu-
al budget of our federal government
Nearly two hundred fifty million dol
lars represents the loss by fire. A
sum which would be equalled if a per
capita tax of $2.71 were collected for
every man, woman and child in the
United States. In no European coun-
try does the per capita loss exceed SO
cents. t~~

turns from scattering country pre-
cincts changing an apparent major
ity in favor of a repeal Of Prohibition
to just the opposite.
The present lead of the "dry" is
something less than 500 votes.
Whatever the final figures may be,
it must be admitted that the election
is a disappointment and unsatisfac-
tory from any standpoint A re-
count is practically certain. And no
matter what changes this recount
may develop neither side will accept
the verdict as final, so that the same
turmoil which has marked Names
course during the past months must
continue.
Another angle of the election is
that the whiskey forces, encouraged
by their strong showing, will be more
bold in their unlawful sale of intoxi-
cants. The vote in the cities show
that a majority desire the sale of
liquor, and it is safe to say that the
majority will rule, constitutional
amendment or no constitutional
amendment.
So while the drys polled few more
votes than their opponents, it is like
ly that the cracking of the bottles
will go ahead just the same, and that
there will be several, "A big night

The loss of timber in our state by

Vote Recount Examined.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 9.-The
seeming delay in proceeding rapidly
with the contests involving the title
to three State offices-two Judges o.
the Supreme Court and State Super
intendent of Public Schools-has been
no fault of the contestants or Of
Special Commissioner R. E. Culver,
appointed by the Supreme Court to
take the testimony and make a re-
count of the votes cast in the City of
St. Louis and St. Louis County.
The St. Louis recount was COM
pleted only few days ago and there
is vast amount of work yet to be
performed. ..- ..n
The question Of how Republicans
obtained their suspicious majorities in
the City of St. Louis and St. Louis
County is the important matter now
receiving attention, and which will
form the real basis of the contest in
stituted by the Democratic officials.
Lawyers say that there were
enough Irregularities connected with
the vote of the City of st. Louis to
warrant the court in throwing out all
the returns from there, but this is not
the point relied upon by the Demo
cratic contestants. In instituting the
proceedings they charged fraud Of
more than sufficient magnitude to re-
verse the result of the election.
The delays in the proceedings
far have been due entirely to 4he de-
lay of the local Republican officials in
the City Of St. Louis and St. Louis
County in recounting the votes. Il
was not expected that the recount
would develop the frauds charged to
any extent
But the recount has only a part to
do with the charge Of fraudulent
voting. lit can be established that
. large number Of fraudulent votes
were cast and the recount shows
that these votes were counted at the
| general election. as II would un-
doubleday do, then there viii be sub
