Two women over in Paris
stripped to the waist and had a
duel with swords because they
had quarreled over the husband
of one. In the fifth round Madam
tee Wick was punctured. The
female seconds crowded around
and succeeded in catching a few
drops of her blood on their
handkerchiefs. Young society
men are now offering from 500 to
1,000 francs for these trophies,
and the combatants, according to
press dispatches, are welcomed
by society. Civilization is cer
tainlj a great thi ng.
A MINNEAPOLIS
ONLY
paper notes
the fact that one of its rivals has
the hunters making for the
woods to hunt prairie chickens,
and suggests that this will be a
valuable pointer to the hunters,
as they may have overlooked
some good sport heretofore.
While the paper in question wa,s
at it it might as well have com
mented on the fact that the Du
luth News Tribune spoke of how
good the "riflemen'' were feeling
because the chicken crop was
large. Is the dear old shot gun
no longer in vogue?
HE political writer for the
Minneapolis Journal states that
old time politicians say they
never saw such bitterness and
rancor exhibited in an off year,
and on that account they predict
one of the hottest campaigns in
the history of the state. It does
remind one a lot of thnw'ng a
piece of. nice, jaicy beef steak
down front of a pack of mon
grel dogs.
-18 per cent of the ap
plications for state teachers'
certificates passed examinations.
Before you begin to make con
temptuous remarks, remember
that a teacher's salary is about
$30 a month on the average, and
perhaps you are a tax dodge at
that, says the Minneapolis
Journal.
HE Duluth News Tribune,
which scored a success with its
three Sunday morning trains,
has announced that it will here
after issue a comic supplement
every Sunday. "N^
I THE Northern league um
pires are as black as the papers
in the circuit paint them the
authorities should see to it that
they, are not alLowecl to run at
large.
WE WOULD suggest that one of
our enterprising merchants se
cure Joseph Burn's "righting"
rooster and place it in the show
window for advertising purposes.
RAIN DOES NOT STOP CROWDS.
State and Territorial Day at the Fair
St. Paul, Sept. 4The drizzling rain
Y\. in,, vius nor
interfere to any extent with the pleas
ure of the people already on. the
grounds, cost the state agricultural
society aboul 5,000, represented in
the tickets that would have been pur
chased had the morning been pleas
ant one.
State and Territorial day was a
success in spite of the adverse weath
er. Thousands of people visited the
grounds, and although the drizzle be-
,ga.n about 10 o'clock, and was con
'tinuous until nearly 1 o'clock in the
afternoon they were not seriously in
convenienced. The new cement
walks which the society laid hist
spring had their service test for tne
first time and kept the crowds dry
shod in spite of the wet.
Dan Patch will not race a^ain. The
state fair managers are unable to se
cure him tor another speed exhibi
tion, and he left last night on his
private ^ar for Lima. Ohio. The ef
forts of President Cosgrove proved
unavailing.

FOUND TO BE A DANGEROUS
LUNATIC
ONLY WANTED TO MARRY ALICE
MADMAN WANTED TO ARRANGE
MATRIMONIAL DETAILS WITH
PRESIDENT.
Oyster Bay, L. I., Sept. 4.A man
givinc his name as Frank* Weilbren
nerSras- arrested at Sagamore Hill
late Tuesday night while makirm a
persistent demand to sco Pr isidp.ut,
Roosevelt. The man was armed with
a revolver, fully loaded. H.e Mas
taken to the village and placed in tne
town prison.
Shortly after 10 o'clock Tuesnav
night Weilbrenr.cr drove to Sagamore
Hill in a phaetQU buggy, lie was
stopped by the secret service opera
tives on duty. Weilbrenner said he
had a personal .engagement with tne
president apd desire.-' to see him. As
it was long after the hours when vis
iters are receivo] flu officer declined
to permit him to go to the house
The man insisted^ but the ofheer
turned him away.
Soon afterward Weilbrlenner re
turned, and again insisted that he be
allowed to see the president, if only
for a minute. This time he was or
dered away and
Ordered Net to Return.
Ju'st before 1 o'clock the man re
turned a third time and damanded of
the officer that ho should be permitted
to see the president at once. The of
ficer's response was to take the man
from his buggy and put him in the
stables, where he was placed under
the guard of two stablemen. A le
volver was found in the buggy. Later
Weilbrenner was brought to,jt. vil
lage and locked up. He refjp& in
Syosset. about, five miles InlarrQ from
Oyster Bay.
While "Weilbrenner talked rational
ly to the officers it seems evident
from his conversation that he is de
mented. He said that he had re
ceived a telegraphic communication
from the president directing him to
call at Sagamore Hill. He is regard
ed by those who have seen him to be
a dangerous lunatic.
At Syosset it is learned that the
man is the son of a truck farmer.
The family is respectable and is held
in general esteem.
Wanted to Marry Alice.
Wef|hrenn'er several years ago had
a nervous attack which rendered mm
mentally helpless for a dry or two,
hut his family supposed that he had
been quite restored. He had no
socialistic or anarchistic tendencies
so far as known
Weilbrenner was arraigned before
Justice Franklin on complaint of the
secret service operatives who placed
him under arrest. Asked why he
went to Sagamore Hill, he replied:
"I went to see the presideut about
his daughter Alice."
"Why did you want to see Miss
Alice?"
"1 wanted to marry Her."
"Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt1''"
"Yes, I saw her night before last."
"Whore did you see lier?"
"At my house.*'
"Did she go over there?"
"Yes, she came in a red automo-
bile."
"Who accompanied her?"
"Her brother, Theodore."
Is Declared Insane.
Later an inquiry of lunacy
held.
The examination of Weilbrennei
was conducted yesterday by Dr. Geo.
A. Stewart and Dr. Irving S. Barnes.
Weilbrenner was declared by them to
be insane. He was taken to Mineola,
L. I., on an evening train and placed
in the custody of the county authori
ties.
Weilbrenner has been practicing
with his revolver recently, but he
would give no reason for his interest
in marksmanship, and yesterday said
he could not shoot very well.

BOY BURNED IN HAY LOFT.
Sets Fire tp a Barn While Playing
With Matches.
St. Paul, Sept. 4. Earl Baw, the
four-year-old son of John Baw, was
burned to a crisp yesterday after
noon in the loft of a barn. The re
mains of the boy were discovered by
the firemen who were cleaning the
loft after the fire. Unnoticed by his
grandmother, with whom he was liv
ing, the little fellow took several
matches from the pantry. Soon after
ward the fi-e department was called
to the barn in the rear of the boy's
home, and when the dames had been
extinguished the charre'd body wa-s
found among the half-burned hay. It
is thought the little fellow went into
the hay loft after getting the matches.
Fire was first seen in the north end
of the barn and the body of the boy
was found at the other end of the
sixty-foot building. The supposition
is that a? soon as the flames started
from a match that he had lighted that
he ran toward the stairway to make
his escape and was overcome by
smoke.
