OCOTKO A. Wall , a traveling talesman for
Ibe lloftter Wholesale Cigar company of St.
1'aul , shot himself In the left bteast directly
over the heart about 7.30 o'elcck Friday
night In a room In Minnie Fnlrchlld's hou e
nt 120 South Ninth street , tt'nll had been
drinking considerable , but Rave no Intlma-
11 on that ho was In a despondent mood until
ho pulled the gun out and turned U upon
himself. Ho gave domestic Infelicity as the
reiijon for the'attempt upon hlo life.
According to' the story told by Klsle Heiv-
tram , who was with him when lie fired the
shot , Wall went to 4ho bout"- short time
bfforo. Together they went to Hamilton's
Fnlton on Dodge street and later went to
Kmll ( Jail's saloon at Ninth nnd Douglas
Htrccts. In lipth plan-s they drank freely
nndVall was liberal with his money. 1/ator
" \Vnll and the llertram woman went to
llm house , where ntlrr some words
"Wall put hlH J.nnd to his hip pocket and
jmllcd out a revolver and pointed It nt the
Kirl. . Slid cowered ti moment and then said
to him :
"Don't do that. Put the gun up. "
Fire * the 1'iilnl Shot.
"Ooodhy , " and pulling thr muzzle of the
gun to ha ! brciml ho pulled the trigger.
Thefo was areport , the man groaned nnd
fell en the bed , while the gun rallied on the
llor.r. The woman screamed and ran Into
the hall , where a scene of Indescribable
terror ensued , women with disheveled hair
nnd clad In tawdry finery huddling together
llko mail.
During the time before the police or the
physician arrived , Grace Ashley , who had
been with Wall and the Bertram woman In
Gall's raloon , remained by his side nnd tried
to get him to talk. Finding he was a Cath
olic he ran for a crucifix and pressing It
into Ms hand cried : "Say a prayer to
Christ for the forgiveness of your soul. 11
is all you can do. "
"But what Is the use ? " groaned the man.
"Say n prayir , say a prayer , " pleaded the
woman In terror , "Vou are dying and must
make peace- with God. Make n confession.
Tell mo your trouble. "
Finally yielding to her Importunities ho
said : "Tell my wife If she had treated mo
right 1 would have treated her the same.
Thn only way out of the trouble Is for mete
to die. It Is all up with mo and I am
tired of it all. "
City Physician Spalding came and at
tended to the wound. He found that the
bullet had penetrated the Ilcsh about two
Inches to the right of the left nipple. The
tnuzzlii had been placed so close that the
skin wa.i . powder-marked for about two In
ches around tbo wound. Ho iVs what ho
could to assuage the How of blood afld made
the man easy. A priest was sent for to take
thn onan's last statement nnd to administer
extromu unction.
Ti-oulilo nt Home.
To Captain Hayes and Court Officer John
son Wall made a statement In regard to his
attempted suicide. He said ho had been on
n spree for the last two weeks and had left
bis homo In Minneapolis four days ago. He
bud trouble with his wife and was tired of
It all. He said ho was employed as a sales-
nmn-for thn.-Hefner..Wholesale Cigar cora-
pa'ny''ln St. Paul anil lived at 1229'WnshIng-
ton avenue , north , Minneapolis. Ho had
been married seven years and had one child ,
a boy 4 years of age. Ho further said ho
came to town with his cousin , Billy Rosen-
fold , who lives in St. Paul. They did not
register at any hotel. He asked the police
If they could get his wife hero before ho
dloil and seemed anxious that she bo sent
for.
for.Dr. . Spaldlng is unable to tell whether
the wound will provo fatal , but Is inclined
to think it will. It la near the heart nnd
cut away a portion of the lungs , The doctor
said it was not advisable to remove him
from the house nnd ho was left on the bed
where be fell.
Elslo Bertram , the woman who was with
him , was taken to the police station imme
diately and placed in charge of Matron
Tlcdeinan. She said she hud never seen the
man before and knew nothing more about
the occurrence than what she told the ofll-
cors when they appeared upon the scene.
Wall was still alive at 3 o'clock this morn-
Jng. The chief of police of Minneapolis
telegraphed tbo Omaha authorities saying
that Wall's wife would come here on the
next train. It Is extremely doubtful whether
Wall recovers.

There was more of the air of n house of
worship about Hoyd's theater Friday night
thnn that of n place of amusement. Not
only was ftils felt on account of the char
acter of the play presented , hut by the fact ,
that the nudletico was mmlo up more largely
of church-goers than the usual habltuus of
the theater. Not that the regular theater
goers were not present In largo numbers ,
for they were there In force , but their more
religious brethren outnumbered them. Not
A scat In the theater wns vacant anil even
standing room was at a premium.
Hut the play about which so much has
been heard and whose coming local theater
goers have anxiously awaited more than a
year. Doubtless few have not read the
novel , "Tho Christian , " but all will find the
play better not only In purpose but In con
struction as well. The main theme of the
hook , which really relates to John Storm's
vocation for the religious life , is properly
put aside as Impossible of discussion on the
stage. He announces In the prologue hlH
Intention to take monastic vows , but when
the action begins he has already given that
up for active mission worlc , and as Anglican
priests do nmrry his love for the girl who Is
wandering In perilous pntlm Involves no
such lapse from his spiritual Ideas as made
the tragedy of the novel. The character of
the young priest , while not greatly elabo
rated. Is quite ( Irmly and consistently pre
sented and while the conntant survival of
the early love Is always Indicated the purity
and unselfishness of his devotion are never to
bo doubted. His unfailing moral courage
dlgnllles the character of John Storm , while
the contrasted character of the girl appeals
to emotional sympathy and the titory of
their entangled lives , told In a pcrlcs of
logically coherent and effectively contrasted
scenes , makes a play that is not only Inter
esting but moving and more convincing
than there was reason to anticipate from the
material out of which It was constructed.
Of the two lives , that of the girl i.s the
easier In its bright contrasts and contradic
tions , and It seems at first an though her
adventures among music hall lordtf and
loafers were to botho dominant theme. It
Is the story of the bird that has enjoyed Its
liberty , but at last comes wearily home.
Miss Ellsler , who has not been seen in this
city for some time , plays the part admir
ably. The warm-blooded , Impulsiveness and
the honest waywardness of Glory Quaylc arc
rlgh'tly felt and expressed with peculiar
skill. Her manner Is not at first convincing ,
but It gains In sincerity with the deeper
emotions of the play and she rightly de
serves much credit for the capable portrayal
of the character.
J. 51. Colvillo also deserves great credit
for the earnest feeling and quiet Intellectual
force with which ho plays the far less ob
vious role of the priest , who Is really the
subject and center of the drama , and com
mands for him respect and sympathy in
situations that would easily pass Ipto raelo-
dramlo Impossibility.
Edward Emery's Lord Robert Ure Is a
clever portrayal of a cool and calculating
villain of the aristocratic type. The atten
tion he pays the details of the character
makes the portrayal admirable.
The production Is in every way praise
worthy , the scenery being elaborate and the
cofitumee well In keeping. The engagement
closes with two performances today.

uf Onintin.
Judge Andrew S. Draper , president of the
University of Illinois , revealed himself In
his lecture at the First Congregational
church last night ns a practical optimist.
Ho expressed his confidence In the ability
of Americans to govern themselves and those
who are entrusted to their care capably and
to a successful Issue. His chief reliance wns
In the soundness of American character nnd
ho thought that the elements which lent to
Its strength should bo encouraged. "Viril
ity and culture , If possible , " ho said in the
j course of hla address , "but virility anyway.
I There are often more valuable lessons taught
In thn rush line of a foot ball team than In
I college class rooms In n year. There Is ns
much education In knowing how to steer
r. boat an in the ability to estimate the
course of the stars.
"Americans may ho lacking In conven
tionality , " continued President Draper , "but
they possess bono and sinew and the race
would conquer in a hand-to-hand conflict
over any nation on earth. The ngresslve-
nesi : of the tuition Is steadied by n strong
conservatism. The maeses , as n whole ,
will have nothing to do with socialism and
anarchy. No opportunity would tempt them
to llrenso or laplnc. In this national cn-
llcbtciiment lies the assurance of the na
tion's perpetuity. "
Tl' speaker'ti audience was made up of
the teachers of Omaha who brought him
hero to open their winter's series of lec
tures nnd ho accordingly brought out the
part of educators In molding the nation's
future. Continuing , ho said : "Other races
which struggled ns uobly ns did the American
colonies to free themselves frctn oppressive
rule have fulled signally to govern thorn-
pelves. Nations which have extended their
commercH ns far ns wo and built their
cities ns high have seen the work of their
hands crumble to decay. To avoid their
fate we have built up a school system which
Is unique , we have spent untold millions
that thn common people might' understand
thn laws of nature and society. The oppor-
i tunlty for n liberal education has been laid
' at the door of every child and even forced
upon him. Education Is thn birthright of
children born in the nineteenth century
nnd wo have advanced to the ground that
a child shall only bo under the control of
his parents when that government Is wise ,
for before all the coming generation Is the
ward of the state.
Educating fprces should ho practical. La
bor as well as learning should bo dignified
and the Imparting of manliness and wotnan-
llncsn should bo no small part of the teach-
er'o mission.
"It Is the destiny of the Anglo-Saxon race
to spread over the earth. Since It Is assured
that the American republic Is to stand wo
must accept the fact that It Is to expand.
The Anglo-Saxon rnco was meant to gov
ern and that It will govern well no true
patriot will doubt. The race which grow
up in western Europe from Norman , Saxon
and Teuton blood was self-governing. Its
emancipation was proclaimed at Uunnymcdo
and established at Nasby , Dunbar and Mar-
ston Moor. The colonies which have left
the motherland have upheld Its traditions.
Ono fragment lent Imperlshabln distinction
to Plymouth by disembarking there and
setting up a government which was adminis
tered with flrmnesn and tolerance. The re
volt o [ the coloniPts from a tyrant's rule
only added credit to tbo race from which
they sprang. The revolting Americans were
better Englishmen than the political fac
tion In control when Inlolerablo hardships
were laid upon tliom by the homo govern
ment. Since that time the race has been Im
proved and weakened by the new blood
of venturesome immigrants from other Eu
ropean nations. The Scandinavians and Ger
mans have added their thrift , the Irish their
wit and the Italians their artistic tempera-
aient. "
Prof. Draper was Introduced by Super
intendent Penrie. who spoke of the experi
ment whlrh the loonl teSfhers Imd entered
upon along an eduentlonnl line and wished
them success.
