curslon Manager.
. Z. T. Sizer, whose family reside at No. 419
Ninth street southwest, died at 6 o'clock yes
terday morning from the effects of all over
dose of morphine. Mr.. Si2er went home
Tuesday night shortly after dark and imme-
diately retired to his room, telling his mother
and wife that ho had great deal of work to
do on the following day and was going to
sleep. lie also said that he had taken dose
of morphine, being too nervous to sleep with
out it. Shortly after some one went to his
room and called him, and receiving no re-
sponsc, attempted to awaken him. lie reused
up and uttered some inarticuate words, and
then rcapsod into stupor from which all et-
forts to arouse him were futile. A messenger
was dispatched to the residence of DR.. Ham
i ton L. Leach No. 400 Seventh street south
west. The latter came in u short time. and
the family of Mr.. SiZer say that after looking
at the unconscious man and ordering some
whisky to be given him he left He treated
the case in so light and cool II manner that
the family become less anxious, thinking that
their relative was all right About o'clock,
however, Mr. Sizer showed symptoms of get
ting worse and DIR. Leach was again sent for.
He was not to be found, and DIR. Hammett
was summoned. Tho latter responded, and
upon seeing Mr. Sizer pronounced the case
a hopeless one. He stated that he
could do nothing, rs the poison had
practically done its work. He made an
effort. however, to render some service, but
Mr.. Si2er died at the hour above stated. DR.,
Hammett thinks if he had been called in
earlier he could have saved Mr.. Sizcr's life.
A reporter called at the residence of DR.. Leach
last night, but could not find him. Tho de-
ceased was well known in the southern part
of the city. and was at one time u practicing
drug clerk. OF late he had been connected
with the Lower Cedar Point excursions. and
was to have given an oyster roast to Classic

age, and had n wife and one child. The

While waiting for the coming in of mernbt rs,
Supt Kiehle made some remarks in regard to
the distribution of text books. He said that
orders for these books came IN toe frequently,
and was inclined to impose some restrictions
Some ssnt In as many as two orders a week In
the interest of schools he thought it VS.
not much use to make a text book
of the geography Of Minnesota
until it is revised. The state is growing very
rapidly and it should be revised befo-e it can be
made of practical use in schools.
Several Suggestions were made as to the man
ner of corresponding with the department
The following committee was appointed to
confer with the state superintendent in regard
to lists of questions to be used in examinations:
Superintendents Cow ing, Wilson and Sperry.
