JUDGE NYE DECIDED
Confirmed Validity of Order Rejecting
incompetent Pupil by School
Board Of District No. 72.

In the appeal case of G. F. Ernest
against an order made by the school
board Of district No. 70, Judge Nye has
filed a decision confirming the order
made by the board for the reason that
it reasonably came within the powers
vested in the board as to the man
agement Of the schools under its care.
The order of the board complained
of was n to the effect that a son of
the plaintiff had been forbidden at
tendance in the school for the reason
that the unfortunate boy was addicted
to a mental and physical ailment
which was a menace and a disturb
ing factor to the best interests of the
pupils of the school il question and
h teacher in charge. All concerned.
1t was alleged, displayed the greatest
kindness towards the unfortunate boy
and in no instance was there shown
any disposition to o~stracise him but
conditions became so that the attacks
to which the boy was addicted became
more frequent and it became impera-
tive for the board to take action.

GIRL TRIES DEATH
As SCORES WATCH
DRINKS cARRoLIc ACID ON MIN
NEAPoLIs CORNER AFTER A
TALK WITH MAN,

Minneapolis, Jan. 24.-Scores Of per-
sons saw a woman attempt suicide by
taking carbolic acid while standing
at Fifth street and Hennepin avenue
yesterday. The act was the outcome
of a conversation which she had just
held with a male companion. The lat
ter, according to spectators, disappear
ed when the woman, who was not
identified, dropped to the sidewalk. The
man first tried to prevent the act. The
women was taken to the city hospital
where late today her recovery was in
doubt. ....-.-
The woman and man stood on the
corner in front of the Imperial Fruit
Co.'s store. William Berellas, q clerk
in the store, saw them talking. Sud
denly. Barellas said, the woman took
a vial from her pocket and
commenced drinking the contents.
The man seized the vial, but not un-
til she had swallowed wo-thirds OF
the carbolic acid which it was found
to contain. The woman dropped un-
conscious to the sidewalk as Barellas
and others rushed to her assistance.
She was taken to the city hospital in
a police ambulance. DR.. II. o. Collins,
who attended her, said that the acid
was full strength and that it was
doubtful whether or not the patient
would recover. She had not regained
consciousness late today.
Torn Envelope Only Clue.
The woman was attired in a light
colored coat, dressing sacque and black
skirt. She was about 80 years old,
five feet six or seven inches in height
and weighed approximately 1913 pounds.
Her complexion n hair were dark.
Her face was badly burned by the acid.
In a pocket of her coat was found
a corner torn from an envelope bearing
the return card: "B. Kaupman, Min
neapolis, Hennepin county, Minnesota"
Barellas said that the man with
whom the woman had been talking
when she tried to take her life wore
a dark overcoat and black hat, but
could give no more definite description
of him.
The woman's mysterious male COM
panion suffered a burned hand when
he fought with her for possession of
the acid vial and by this means the
police hoped to locate him. 1t was
learned that he had appeared at Voe-
CELLS drug store in the West hotel a
few minutes after the occurrences and
had his burns dressed.

Grain Opinions.

S. B. Chaplin & Co.: We believe the
wheat market will need constant sup-
port and think under present condi-
tions it is q sale on the hard spots.
Clement Curtis & Co: BradstrAets
report Of large decrease in wheat WIS.,
ible gave good strength to the market
and confirms our view OF buying on
all weakness. Corn receipts are fall
ing below expectations and the public
is showing more favor to higher mar
ket.
Ware & Leland: Unless some new
stimulating influence appears we car
not feel that any pronounced upturn
is likely. Corn receipts continue iib-
eral n the cash article is feeling the
effect, but with a further setback, we
believe investments are in order.

NAVY ENLIsTMENTs LIMITED.

o. Hellmich, turret captain, U. S.
navy, in charge Of the local navy re-
cruiting office, in the federal build
ing, today received instructions from
the main office in Minneapolis, to limit
enlistments, and that hereafter no more
waivers will be granted.
This doesn't mean that the enlist

coed Plan.

st. Peter Free Press: At present
we have a Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association. Now an effort
is being made to start a Western Min
nesota Development association. Later
on we may try to get one for southern
Minnesota. Looks rather provincial.
Why not a state development ~associa-
ton? This present sectional feeling
ought not to be cut out entirely. Let
every village and city boom its local
ity individually, but there should be
no sectional division. Every citizen
should stand for the state as a whole.
1t is the only way to accomplish
things becoming the Importance OF
this great commonwealth.

CHICAGO GOSSIP.

Chicago. Jan. z4.-Corn is regarded
as a better speculative proposition
than wheat. 1t is free from manipu-
lation and on a domestic basis. Peo-
pie of the west, particularly in the
central west, know all about corn, and
commission houses are doing a better
business in this cereal than in wheat.
Most Of the local professionals were
said to be out OF their long corn last
night, and were awaiting for a further
break to get in again. although some
OF them said they bought a little May
at 66 cents yesterday, because the
market showed surprising strength
considering the falling off Of trade and
the heavy selling the past w days
a few of the pit traders said that a
cent decline would start selling by
many Of the recent Buyers.

with the strength in coarse grains.
Shorts covered freely and the under

After the sharp advance OF today we

buying again. Chas. E. Lewis & Co.

pointed out that in the body of the
will the name ~. w. Young appear
ed twice and that it was identical
with the signature at the bottom in
every detail Thin he declared was
an impossibility except through trac-
ing. Comparing the writing in the
will with samples of Mrs. Warmers
writing, he gave his opinion that they
had been written by the same hand.
He was placed under a sharp cross
examination by the defense before
leaving the stand, the intent of the
questions being to secure an admis-
sion that there was a slight differ
ence in the three signatures of j. w
Young.
