ONLY AN OLD STREET SWEEPER.

In St. Paul morning paper of a
day or two ago appears this item:
while learning to drive an auto.
mobile on Summit avenue, near Ok
ford street yesterday afternoon, Miss
Gertrude Schumacher, daughter OF
the late Gustav T. Schumacher, and
one of the most popular debutantes
of last year, ran her machine into
Frank Shimon, an old employe OF
the street paving department., and
killed him instantly. He was 6s
years old. and lived at 4S6 Michigan
avenue. No arrest was made"
This is the second man within a
year to be killed in the Twin Cities
by an automobile being driven by
girls. In the present instance the
victim was only an old street sweeper,
but his wife, if he had one, probably
loved him just as devotedly as
though he had been a banker and
her grief is as keen as though she
were the widow OF millionaire. And
had the old street sweeper caused
the death Of another human, do you
think that then there would have.

KLEMER PRAISES THE SPEAKER.

1t is little soon for everyone tc
have forgotten Ferdinand Klemer Of
Faribault. He will be remembered
as that member of the Legislature
who accused Speaker Dunn of abou,
the worst political crime on the cal
ender-that of having appointed
men to House committees who
would control legislation in favor Of
the corporate interests as agalns,
the welfare of the common people.
That was several days ago.
On Wednesday of this week, at
the conclusion of the address oil
Speaker Dunn on the floor of the
House in favor of the eastman dis
lance bill, Mr.. Klemer sent Mr.
Dunn the following note:
Accept my congratulations fo1
your splendid appeal for southern
Minnesota.
And Mr.. Dunn sent back thi.
reply:
Thank you very much"
And while our supposition ma,
not be correct. we are led to believe
that Mr.. Klemer hardly meant wha
he accidentally said when he made
the packed committee" charge
any more than Speaker Dunn mean
it when in reply he threatened Mr.
Klemer with physical violence.

reapportionment and declared that
