sured Now-Steps to Get St.
Paul Donation.

Shakopee.-At an enthusiastic meet
ing of the Minnesota Valley Scenic
Highway association, held in this city
to take steps to secure the balance
needed 20 secure the improvement of
the Minnesota valley road as a federal
post road from Mankato to Blooming
ton bridge, forty delegates were pres.
ent, representing every city and vii
lage along the road.
The proposition of the government
was that it would appropriate $4,000
for improving the road if the state
would give $4,000; but as the state
could not do SO, the counties, cities
and villages along the road raised $22,-
600. After Governor Eberhart had
designated the road federal engineer
was sent over it and reported it would
cost $4,000 to improve the road sat
isfactory, so it then became neces-
sary to raise an additional $4,000.
The Hennepin county commissioners,
Wednesday evening, raised their APP
preparation from $1,000 to $4,000,
and at the meeting here yesterday it
was found that $4,000 more is in sight
among cities and villages in the val
ley, so that the deficiency is now but
$1,000.
]. II. Hohmann was instructed to
appear before the Association of Com
merce of st. Paul, and ask that St.
Paul give $4,000 toward the road.
Three of tro county commissioners of
Ramsey county were at the meeting
here.
If possible, $4,000 will be raised
along the road and in the Twin Cities,
so as to get $4,000 from the govern
ment. A rising vote of thanks was
given to Hennepin county for it's APP
preparation

Raw Whistler, a plumber, aged 70,
residing with his wife and child on
the south side. committed suicide
Sunday morning between nine and
ten o'clock at his residence.
The weapon used was short bar
rel, twelve gauge automatic shot
gun upon the muzzle of which the
despondent man must have placed
his forehead before firing the fatal
shot, with his finger pressing on the
trigger and the stock resting on the
floor. This is the theory advanced
by members of the coroner's jury.
as the man had his shoes on at the
time. which would have prevented
him reaching the trigger in that
manner.
The impact was terrific. for the
gutta percha armpiece was shatter-
ed and huge dent left in the floor
from the recoil of the gun. The top
of the mans head was completely
blown off above the eyes, the room
in which the deed was committed
presenting a most horrible sight.
Il is not definitely known just
what prompted the man to take his
life, although for some time past
his intimate friends have noticed a
melancholy change in his demeanor.
1t seemed that toward the last, his
mind began to weaken, for only last
pay day, he said to his employer,
We'll. suppose this is the last pay
check you will ever give me for |
feel that you are not satisfied with
my work." His employer, who
speaks only the highest praise of the
dead man as workman, tried to
reassure him that his idea was
wrong, for they got along we'll to-
gether and he had not the slightest
intention of letting him out of his
employ.
For some time past the man had
been acting queerly and it is the
opinion of the county authorities
that he was entirely irresponsible at
the time of the commission of his
act of self destruction.
He had been called for breakfast,
but did not give coherent reply. A
