EDMUND KNUDSON

The following is taken from the
Minneapolis Tribune, concerning a
young man we'll known in Wausau,
viz:
Edmund Knutson, the Minneapolis
! barrytone or basso cantate who has
been doing so we'll as an opera singer
] on the German stage, some time ago
wrote his relatives in this city that he
| was coming home this month, when
he will have finished his first year
with the court opera of Schwerin. His
| was to return here for a much needed
rest
These plans now have been sudden
| ly changed because of professional
| advancement. Mr.. Knudson has been
engaged to sing the leading parts
| for his voice at the opera of Bremen,
which institution, ever since the days
of Angelo Neumann as manager,
| Seidl as orchestra conductor and
| hdlldl lllC INldLohS oOpl ANU
has ranked high among the opera
| houses of Germany.
Last year Mr.. Knudson had decided
| to go to Scandinavia for a summer of
rest after two years of strenuous study
in Berlin, when the Schwerin engage
ment was offered him. Now, instead
of coming to America, he will have to
take up work preparatory for his ex-
tended repertory with the Bremen
| opera.
Mr.. Knudson has hosts of friends in
the music and social circles of Min
neapolis who would have been glad
to see him this summer but who will
be gladder still to hear of his pro-
| fessional advancement"

THIRD AND FINAL BALLOT
FOR PRESIDENT

assure absolutely our national security.
believe in preparedness not only entirely
adequate for our defense with respect to
numbers and equipment in both army and
navy, but with all thoroughness, to the
end that in each branch of the service
there may be the utmost efficiency under
the most competent administrative heads.
We are devoted to the ideal of honorable
peace. We wish to promote all wise and
practicable measures for the just settle
ment Of international disputes In view of
our abiding ideals there is no danger of
militarism in this country. We have no
policy OF aggreSsiveness, no lust for ter
ritory, no zeal for strife. 1t is in this
spirit that we demand adequate provision
for national defense, and we condemn the
inexcusable neglect that has been shown
in this matter of first national Importance.
We must have the strength which self
respect demand, the strength of an ef-
f1cient nation ready for every emergency.
Our preparation must be Industrial and
economic as well as military. Our Sc
verest test will come after the war is
over. We must make a fair and wise re]
adjustment of the tariff in accordance with
sound protective principles to insure our
economic independence and TO maintain
American standards Of living.
l deeply appreciate the responsibility
you impose. I should have been glad to
have that responsibility placed upon an
other, but l shall undertake to meet II

ences may be forgotten.
l have resigned my judicial office, and
am ready to devote myself unreservedly

OBSERVE SPECIAL FEAST

The Jewish Pentecost or Feast oi
Weeks (Shebuoth) was celebrated on
the 7th of June. It's name is derived
from the fact that it is celebrated sew
en- weeks after the second day of Pass
over. All the biblical injunctions as
to the manner in which the Feast was
observed indicate that it was original
ly agriculture in character. 1t was in
reality a season of thanksgiving fol
the harvests that had been reaped, be
ginning with the barley harvest dur
ing the Passover to the wheat harvest
at the beginning of the summer. The
ceremonial offerings prescribed were
in keeping with the God-given gifts
of the soil that had been gathered.

ATTEMPTED MURDER
Fred Affeldt Fires Four Bullets at
His Wife and Then Turns the
Revolver on Himself.

Last Saturday afternoon, near five
who has been engaged in sewer work,
made an attempt to murder his wife
at the home of Rev. E. c. Grauer, on
Fifth st.eet. 1t seems the wife and
husband had not been getting along
very amicably during their married
life of seventeen years, and on Fri
day night at ten O'Clock, the husband
became so bitter that Mrs. Affeldt and
two children left the home and went
to Rev. Grauer's residence, where they
remained all night. Mrs. Affeldt was
employed in the Grauer household
regularly on certain days of each week
and was therefore we'll known to the
family. On Saturday morning Mrs.
Affeldt spent several hours consult
ing the district attorney regarding an
action for divorce, which she had de-
cided to commence. Later her hus-
band went to the Grauer home three
times to try and induce her to go home
with him, but she refused. lie went
to the residence the third time at
4:30 p. m. and rushing into the sitting
room where his wife was, he pulled
a revolver and commenced shooting
at her. Mrs. Grauer was in the room;
Rev Grauer was on the outside talking
to the janitor of the church, and all
were stunned for a moment, when
Mrs. Affeldt rushed from the house
followed by her husband with revolver
in hand. J. Ossenforth, the janitor,
managed to interfere long enough for
the wife to make her escape. Affeldt,
who had bicycle at the curb, jumped
upon it and escaped. The police force
were informed and at once instituted
a search for the criminal. Mrs. Affeldt
was taken to the office of DR.. F. c.
Nichols, where her wounds were
dressed, and then was taken to st.
Mary's hospital. One bullet struck
her in the head and glanced off; two
struck her between the shoulders and
one in the groin. All the bullets were
located and removed except the one in
the groin, and the patient is now get
ting along with good prospects of
recovery.
The would-be murderer came into
the. city about nine o'clock and was
arrested by Undersheriff F. B. Laabs,
near the court house on Fourth street.
He made his way to the outskirts in
the northeast part of the city, and
crawled into the underbrush, pulling
his wheel in after him, where he laid
down, and as he said, went to sleep.
1t was found that he had tried to
commit suicide by shooting himself.
Immediately after firing the shots at
his wife he shot himself in the mouth,
inflicting a bad wound but not a ser
ious one. lie was placed in Jail. On
Monday be was brought before Judge
Marchetti, and hearing in the case
was set for Monday, June 18th, and
he was placed under bail in the sum
of $4,000, which he was unable to
furnish and he was taken back to
Jail.
The revolver that Affeldt used was
small one-22 calibre, otherwise
neither he nor his wife would have
escaped death.
Mrs. Affeldt, this morning was feel
ing very good, and her recovery is
certain unless complications set in.
