The registration books will be kept in the office of Judge Anderson, the city auditor, and the times for regis tration and the manner thereof are set forth in detail. FREDERICK LARSON (Continued from page 1) fering man every aid in his power for the time and place, and had the hos pital ambulance summoned. When it arrived in charge of Acting Police Chief Fred Oberg (another personal friend of the wounded man), he was conveyed to St. Mary's and there treated as the desperate nature of his wound demanded, and where at a late hour last night he was resting as easily as might be expected under the circumstances, with what Dr. Pilking ton considered a fair chance for pulling through. There is a glimmer of romance hidden in the sad circumstance of this record, and which goes a long way to account for the attempt Mr. tions of the rules in regard to cam Larson made upon his life. It has paign assessments, and Daily was not been fully confirmed as yet, but guilty of "pernicious activity in the Morning Astorian has sufficient ' politics." . atVmrlial -for it to hazard its oresen-1 ttlion nd does so only to account ! trr'-fkuer for the unhappy circum-, I stance -of the hour. It seems that when he left his old home in Sweden gsome 22 years ago, a bright and eager U II III mi ipaWy lad, bound for America to make his fortune, he was formally bethrothed to a pretty young cousin, then u years of age, and who, through all the long years intervening, has cher ished her vows of constancy and giv en him frequent testimony of her tin wavering affection. But Mr. Larson has been a "laggard lover" and this has caused him to brood deeply over the injustice done the girl and worn an to whom he was pledged, and who never failed to maintain her faith in their ultimate happiness when the old vow should be made good. He has felt for sometime that he was in no shape to go back to Sweden and take up the guage of wedded life there, with his own health broken and a competency that was far too meagre for division between his aged and failing mother and the new home he would have to set up; and al though he had arranged to go to these waiting dear ones this fall, he alwavs had the constant assurance that it would be a mistake and that it could not redound to the peace and happiness essential to the new conditions inseparable from such journey and such a meeting. This it was that moved the man to cut short the problem of life as he found it, futile as the effort has proved thus far. He will be given all possible care in his extremity and will not want for a 'thing that shall contribute to his recovery, either as to skilled treatment or the comforts so essential at such a juncture; and the hope is abroad among his friends, that in the event of his recovery he will yet find his way to the home and people; who, of all others on earth, are best qualified to make life what it should be to a man of his years. Dr. Pilkington made a rigid exam inatioh of the wound and found that the ball had fractured several of his ribs and carried splinters of the bone into the. lung, and apparently a piece of the clothing he wore; the latter circumstance giving ground for fear of blood poisoning later; but he made the necessary incisions in the back and set up good clear drainage and has hope of pulling the man through a very critical , situation. Time of course must determine this issue. The revolver Larson used in this attempt on his life, he purchased yes terday just about noon at a well known gunsmith's establishment in this city, and when the clerk asked if he wanted a box' of cartridges, re plied that ''he merely" wanted the weapon loaded as that would be enough for his purposes," and this is deemed significant of the deadly idea he was then cherishing. Mr. Larson is a member in excel lent standing of Astoria Lodge No. 6, Knights of Pythias, in this city, and was one of its earliest members, barely escaping charter entry into its councils.

MEDALS AND FUNDS READY Great Congress of Physicians and Experts Striving For Mastery of Man's Maladies Are Exchange Views. WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The in ternational congress on Tuberculo sis met again in general session this morning at the national museum, the even sections of the distinguished athering having brought (o a close last night the lengthy program map ped out for a minute study of every possible phase of the tuberculosis roblem. Before the hour is reached tinal adjournment, itr is believed the day will prove more eventful in some of its aspects than any, of the preced ing esssions of the congress. Although there were no set spce- hes scheduled, the proceedings this morning were principally consumed with brief addresses. There were many things of a purely business na ture which engaged the attention of the delegates. Reports were heard from the secretaries of the different sections. Resolutions relating to scientific (uestions discussed by the various sections -were referred to . a general common resolution. The re port of this committee will be made in the closing hours of the session this evening and it is confidently ex pected to provoke heated discussion and perhaps a clash among the dele gates who have been arrayed against each other at several meetings of the sections. The storm center of discussion pro bably will relate to'pr. Robert Koch's radical position denying the unity of the human and bovine tubercule ba cilli and' any attempt upon the part of fv Sss, Vli , JUBB The Woolen Mill Store those who antagonize him in this view to place the congress on record will develop stubborn opposition. Prof. Bernard Bang, of Copenhagen, Denmark, tonight will address the delefates in the assembly hall on "Studies in Tuberculosis in Domes tic Animals and What We May Learn Regarding Human Tuberculo sis." The delegates evinced interest in a report to the congress by Dr. T. J. Stafford concerning tuberculosis in Ireland. Dr. Stafford asserted that i in Ireland the problem of wiping out tuberculosis was left in the hands of local authorities designated by par liament with delegated powers and that the success of failure of the cam paign against the disease depended upon the measures of responsibility felt bv the local bodies. He said that because of the financial condi tion of the country at this time it was impossible to deal with all cases of tuberculosis by the. intitutiosal method of treatment. The exhibition of the congress will remain open until Oct. 12., and it is probable that a majority of the dele gates will remain here until the final awards are made. About $10,000 in cash prizes are to be given to com petitors with the best exhibits. Many medals are also to be bestowed. SHERMAN ANSWERS BRYAN. EVANSVILLE.

BOTH UNDER HIGHEST SPEED Occupants Have Almost Miraculous Escape From Death and Mangling in the Mixups -There Was an Im mense Crowd Present. BRIGHTON BEACH, N. Y., Oct. 3. Shortly after three o'clock the French car No. 1 driven by Julian Lock in the 24 hour race caught fire as it was rounding the southeast turn and ran into the inside iencc, its me chanician unable to steer it, the flames blinding him and inflicting se vere burns. Less than three minutes afterward the Italian car driven by Matjcn, burst a tire at the same turn a few feet from where the French car had come to grief and was hurled into the outer rail, both driver and mechanician being hurled over 20 feet in the air. Matjen's hand and arm were badly lacerated and bruis ed but no bones were fractured. The Italian car was impaled on the broken railing and is hopelessly wrecked. The French car is also per manently disabled. The accident' to No. 14 was due to leaking gasoline which ignited as cos tact with open exhaust flames. As soon as arivcr ana mecnanician were clear of the burning wreck, a half dozen track attendants were dispatch ed with red lanterns to warn the oth er contestants to turn wide. Matjen's car nad gone around tnree tims clear ing the still burning No. 14 nicely when on the fourth round it was thrown off its course by the burst ing of a tire and shot Into the fence.

C, Oct. 3.-As a result of dissension among the manufacturers at the largely attend ed meeting of the shingle mill own ers from Vancouver and vicinity yes terday, it is announced today that the prices and limitation of the out put of each mill have gone by the board, and from now on it is a case Jf each for himself and of selling much of the output as possible at the best prices obtainable.
