STRANGE SUICIDE.
Joseph Tobler Kills Himself Be

Joseph Tobler Kills Himself Be-
cause the City Killed His Horses.
Yesterday afternoon at little before
o'clock Joseph Tobler, wood and
coal dealer doing business at the corner
of Riverside and Twenty-fourth ave-
nues south, shot himself through the
head, dying within an hour. The deed
was committed at his home, 1926 TWen-
ty-sixth avenue south. The cause as
signed was a trivial one. Some time
ago his five horses were taken sick with
the CHAMBERS and were quarantined by
the health department. Thursday one
of them was shot, and Yesterday the
health Office issued an order that two
more of them should be killed. When
he received the order yesterday morn
ing he remarked to his wife: "Pd
rather they would shoot me than the
horses"
Soon afterward he complained to
his wife of severe headache and
while in his sitting room he suddenly
drew pistol, placed it to his left tenn
pie and fired. The ball passed clear
through the skull just back of the eye
balls, both of which were burst. Drs.
Gibson and Tryon were Immediately
called, but he died without regaining
consciousness about an hour later. Mr.
Tobler was about sixty years OF age,
and was very well known in South Min
neapolis, having done business there
for the past nine years. So far as can
be found out his business was in good
shape, except that the tieing up of his
horses had prevented his delivering or
derS very promptly. His business, how
ever, was not large one. The case
was probably one of melancholy. He
leaves wife and three children, the
oldest of them girl of thirteen.

The Richest Man in America.

New York Star.
Men in a position to judge of the
fortunes of the wealthy men of the
country are beginning to agree that Mr..
Rockefeller is the richest man in the
United States, and consequently in
America. The collective wealth of the
Astors or Vanderbilts is greater than
his, but it is averred that no individual
Astor or Vanderbilt Is as wealthy. Jay
Gould is reckoned many millions below
him in actual riches. Judge Stevenson
Burke, the Cleveland attorney, capital
ist and railroad man, told me recently
that Mr.. Rockefeller was the richest
man in America. The judge was for
merly an attorney of the VanderbiIts
and has bad dealings with Jay Gould,
so that he is in position to judge. He
thinks that Mr.. Rockefeller's yearly in
come is now nearly sl,0O0.0O0 per year.
1t has all been made out of the Standard
Oil company, of which great monopoly
Mr., Rockefeller is the principal stock
holder.

AFTER THE OFFICERS.
A Claim That the Alliance Ele-
vator Company Received Wheat
When InsolVent.

A Claim That the Alliance Ele-
vator Company Received Wheat
When Insolvent.
Joseph CheveIier, Polk county farm
er, claims that he shipped two carloads
of wheat to the Farmers Alliance Ele-
vator company, valued at 1887, which
was accepted after it was known the
company was insolvent and an assign
ment was to be made. He will en-
deavor to hold the officers of the conf
pany responsible. According to the
Northwestern Miller, the affairs of the
Alliance Elevator company, which
made an assignment last week, are in
very tangled condition. The corpora
ton was originally organized as
the Scandinavian Elevator company,
with G. G.. WOlcott as manager,
but when he suddenly found it
convenient to go to Europe the name
was changed to the Alliance Elevator
company, and II. l.. Loucks figured as
Its head, serving as president. Court
land Skinner, of st. Paul, appears to
have acted as secretary. From publ
cations in the organ of the State ALI
ance, it would appear that both Loucks
and Skinner desire to avoid being held

which the elevator company has been
party. The assignment vas made by
l.. II. Loucks, Peter Larson Jr. and A.
w. Mertons, as directors. the COM
pany has posed as strictly representa-
tive OF the farmers, but it has done only
a nominal business. 1t had no member
ship in the Minneapolis chamber of
commerce. and whatever wheat it
handled for its constituents had to
be sold by third party, Wood
ward & Co., acting in that capacity.
The capital stock was fixed at the
formidable figure of $2,O00.000, but this
was not all issued. The stockholders
are almost entirely farmers and the
amount held by each is small. There
were several elevators which the COM
pany formerly had some claim to, but
they are all encountered by chattel
mortgage to their full value. Assignee
White, who was attorney for the COM
pany, estimates the total liabilities at
between $4,000 and $4,000, and the
assets at $1,000 to $1,000; but, as the
stock holders are liable for double the
amount of stock they subscribed for, he
thinks the creditors will not lose much.
There are $1,000 of unpaid wheat ac-
counts, $1,000 due to Pennsylvania
parties on notes and accounts, and be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000 due Woodward
u Co., of Minneapolis, but the latter is
secured by mortgages on five or SIX
houses.

FATAL ADMINISTRATION.
Tragedies in the Official Family of
President Tyler.

New York Sun.
The tragedies in the official family of
President Harrison, great though they
are. are matched by those in the cabinet
of President Tyler, fifty years ago.
That administration began with a
tragedy, for the death of the aged
Gen. Harrison, though occurring
from natural causes, cannot be
counted, in view of all the circum-
stances, as aught but tragic. In Deem
Der OF the next year, 1912, occurred the
tragedy OF the United States ship Som
ers-the mutiny, the trial by court mar
tial, and the execution of three sailors,
one of whom was the son of the actual
secretary Of war. In June. 1913. the
president, with some of his cabinet,
Journeyed to Boston to attend the cere-
monies of the dedication of Bunker Hill
monument, and there Hugh Legare,
secretary of state, was stricken with
mortal disease and died. But the trag
edles OF the administration had not
reached their climax. Feb. 20, 1914, at
the invitation of Commodore Stockton,
the president, with his fiance, Miss
Gardiner, her father. and with the
members of his cabinet and nearly 100
other persons of high official rank. en-
parked ON capt. Erl2SS0n'S screw
steamer at Princeton, belonging TO the
navy, to inspect the new machinery and
to watch the firing Of the two great
guns which the vessel mounted On
the trip down the guns were fired twice.
On the homeward trip, above Mount
Vernon, preparations were made to fire
third shot. Around the gun stood
nearly all the principal men who carried
on the government of the United
States. The gun was fired, and
burst, killing eight persons and
wounding nearly score. The presi-
dent had been called aside the instant
the gun was fired, but Secretary of
State Upshur and Thomas Gilmer, sec
rotary of the navy, were killed. as we'll
as Mr.. Gardiner, Commodore Kennon,
Mr.. Virgil MaXey. two sailors. and the
presidents servant. Mr.. Gilmer had
been secretary of the navy for only ten
days, and had taken the post much
against his own inclinations. Thomas
FL. Benton was one of the party whose
gaiety was so terribly stilled; but
though the presidents servant, who
stood at his left, was killed. he himself
was unhurt except for the breaking OF
his left ear drum.

that the bourSe rumorS are not founded
on fact. The emperor proposes to re-

ton from His Wife;
G. Fl. Du Bots, formerly editor of the
Spectator, was granted divorce from
his wife, Mary H. Du Bots. yesterday,
by Judge Pond. The couple were mar
ried at Ann Arbor, Mich. in 1875, and
lived together until July, 1856, when
they separated, she going to her former
home in Michigan, in company with
their two children. The separation
seems to have been mutually agreed
upon, for she does not deny the deser
ton, and only asked for the custody of
the children, which the judge granted.
Mr.. Du Bots made no objection to that
part of the programme. The parties
are both forty-one years Of age.

DISLOYALTY A WOE.
So Says Emperor William at a

BERLIN, Feb. 20.-At a dinner given

people, and that they hesitated to follow
him. 1t was necessary. however, for
them to confde in him with view only
to the welfare of the whole people.
Prussia, he said, became great because
in 1913 the whole nation confided in and
rallied to the support of the king.
I'm our time" the emperor continued,
"when disloYalty and other vices steal
through the world, when an ocean of
printing ink and paper Is lavished to
embarrasS and darken everything lying
clear before US, you must hold with me.
1 remain calm in the hope that you will
follow me. May find enough faithful
men to do my bidding"
