PROMINENT IN STATE AFFAIRS Worked His Way to Front and Was a Democratic Leader—Once Can- didate for Governor. St. Paul, April 16.—Leonard A Ros- ing, member of the state board of con- trol and once a candidate for govern- or on the Democratic ticket, died at St. Joseph’s hospital early yesierday after a lingering illness. He had been sinking constantly since last Friday, when an operation was performed for the removal of a blood clot on the brain. For nearly a year Mr. Rosing had been incapacitated from work by partial paralysis, and his condition became so grave that the operation was performed as a last resort. He L. A. ROSING, is survived by a widow and three chil- dren. Miss Marjorie, the only daugh- ter, is seriously ill at St. Joseph’s hos- pital. Was Born in Sweden. Mr. Rosing was one of the most prominent men in the state. He was born in Malmo, Sweden, on Aug. 29, 1861, and came with his parents to Minnesota in 1869. In 1886 he mar- ried Miss Mary B. Season of Cannon Falls, where he made his home. In 1888 Mr. Rosing became a member of the firm of Rosing & Kraft, retail shoe dealers, and remained in that business until 1905, when he became a member of the state board of control. He took an active part in politics early, first as a Republican, but left that party on the tariff issue in 1890. candidate for state senator in 1894, and in 1896 be- ;] came chairman of the state central ,| committee. |}aged the three Ling campaigns for In that capacity he man- governor and developed a high order of managerial ability. Candidate for Governor. When John Lind was elected in 1898 he made Mr. Rosing his private secretary, and he served in that ca- pacity for two years. He returned to his business in 1901, but in 1902 was made the candidate of his party for governor. He contended against the second-term candidacy of Van Sant and was defeated. In 1904 Mr. Rosing was associated in the management of the campaign when John A. Johnson was first elect- ed governor, and in the following spring he was appointed by Gov. Johnson to the state board of control on the expiration’ of J. F. Jacobson’s term. On taking this appointment he retired from his business in Cannon Falls and moved to St. Paul.

He took promi- nent part in meetings of the National Association of Corrections and Chart ties and the National Prison congress. After going on the board of control he kept out of active participation in politics. The funeral will be on Friday after- noon at Cannon Falls, and will be at- tended by a number of friends from state offices and institutions. ———— PRIZES FOR BARLEY GROWERS.

Chicago, April 20.—A cent a loaf is the toll which it is proposed to exact on all preag sold in Chicago after May 1 as a result of the sensational ad- vances in the price of wheat follow- ing the deals of James A. Patten and other big bull speculators on the board of trade. A proposed advance to 6 cents a loaf was announced yesterday by Mathis Schmidinger, president of the Chicago Bakers’ association, who declares that fifty bakeries in the city had been forced to close in the last few weeks because of the high price of flour and the refusal of the mills to extend credit. « With members of the state legisla- ture planning to strike a blow at the heart of gambling in foodstuffs, the men of the Patten variety were de- nounced on moral and_ religious grounds by Rev. Dr. Milbourne P. Boynton, pastor of the Lexington Ave- nue Baptist church. Board of trade managers defended their trade, and’ President John A. Bunnell said the position of the board was so strong as a beneficial and in- dispensable factor in the country’s business that the organization had nothing to fear from the legislative attacks at Springfield, and that the organization courted the fullest inves- tigation by a legislative commission. Along with these various develop- ments came the news that J. Ogden Armour, who went heavily short of May wheat to Patten last fall, has more than counterbalanced his losses by bullish operations at Liverpool. CONVICT LEAPS INTO BELT. Kill Self on First Day of Term at Stillwater. Stillwater, Minn., April 20. — Made desperate by brooding over his unnat- ural crime and by the prospect of. a long term of imprisonment in the pen- itentiary, George Fazekas of St. Paul, who was sentenced Friday afternoon and donned a convict’s garb here late Friday, committed suicide in the state twine plant late Saturday afternoon by jumping inio the twenty-four-inch belt which connects the machinery on the first and second floor of the fac- tory. Fazekas’ body, when it was finally tossed clear of the belt and fell upon the floor, was crushed almost out of resemblance to a human being. Near- ly every bone in his body was broken. It was the most spectacular tragedy the prison has ever known. FAILS IN BLACKMAIL CASE. Six Arrested in Fillmore County Dis- charged for Lack of Evidence. Preston, Minn., April 20.—The state failed to make a case against the six young farmers from the town of York, who were accused of complicity in a blackmailing conspiracy. The defendants, John Englebritt, Lloyd Smeed, Carl Lawrence, Orville, Minn; James Franklin and Jess Tridal, were therefore discharged from custody. This may or may not be the end of a remarkable plot, in which it is as- serted a dozen or more men and boys participated, to blackmail Emil Dreck- man, who lives on a farm about four. teen miles south of Spring Valley. GRIM REAPER IS BUSY. Two Men Commit Suicide and Two Fall Dead. Des Moines, April 20.—M. M. Elam, fifty years old, a traveling salesman for a St. Louis vinegar house and a resident of Corydon, Iowa, committed suicide by shooting at his rcom in the Kirkwood hotel last night. About the same time Axel W. Borg, sixty years old, a grocer, was found dead in his room. He had taken rat poison. James M. Sims, an engineer drop- ped dead of heart failure while cross- ing a street, and Daniel Sullivan, an Oskaloosa candymaker visiting here, dropped dead in his room. FIND BODY ON COW CATCHER. Other Portions of Farmer’s Remains Strew Soo Tracks. Thief River Falls, Minn., April 20. —Last Friday Knute Mazson,a well to- do farmer, met death on the right of way of the Soo road. When the daily passenger train from the cities reach- ed Thief River Falls it was discover- ed that portions of a man’s body were attached to the cow catcher and on the front of the engine. The coroner discovered that the re- mains were those of Mazson, who lived near Calloway, where the acci- dent occurred. The supposition is that he laid down on the track and was run over by the train. Tragedy at Zumbrota. Zumbrota, Minn., April 20.—Ole O.
