HELENA, Mont. Nov. 18-C. W. Ridg-
way, general manager of the Rocky
Mountain Telegraph company, a con-
nection OF the Postal company. is miss
ing. The company is several thousand
dollars short on his account. Ridgway
has been employed by the Rocky Mount
ain about two years, and most of that
time as general manager of the system,
which extends from Butte to Dunmore
in Canada. Helena was his headquar-
ters. RidgWay has not been seen about
the Office since several days before the
election, but nothing was thought of it,.
as it was understood he was sick.
Election morning, however, an occa-
sion arose requiring his presence at the
office. A messenger was sent to tie
house where he had been stopping, who
found that he had gone. as we'll as Mrs.
Z. E. Snyder, who was formerly his
typewriter. Her three children are
also gone,as well as all articles of value,
including the silverware from the fur
nlsned house she rented. Suspecting
something was wrong, an examination
OF RldgWay's accounts was begun. 1t
was found he had checked every
dollar of the company's money
out Of the bank and besides overdrawn
his account at the bank several thou
sand dollars. As general manager OF the
company he had also given notes at va
riUus banks and appropriated the money
to his own use. Many bills supposed to
have been paid are not paid, Ridgway
having used the money. Several big
checks sent by the owners of the line to
meet deficiencies are also unaccounted
for. Altogether RldgWay's transactions
amount to thousands. 1t is also known
that while the agent at Butte was away.
few weeks ago, Ridgway had the man
in charge there turn over to him all the
money in the office. Ridgway is a mar
ried man. He sent his wife and three
children to Denver some months ago.

He Wants to Head an Expedition
to Search for the North Pole.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-Lieut. Peary
who commanded the Kite expedition to
Northern Greenland, is anxious to en-
bark on another expedition, this time
with the purpose of reaching the north
pole. He already has made application
for leave of absence for three years, and
the application has been sanctioned by
the bureau of yards and docks. to which
he is amenable; but from present indi-
cations, if Lieut.. Peary goes on the pro-
jected expedition, he will have to go as
plain Mr.. Peary, and will have to re-
linquish his commission in the navy as
civil engineer. Commodore Farquhar,
chief of the bureau of yards and docks,
in his annual report called attention to
the pressing need of the navy for an ad-
ditiOnal number of engineers to keep
pace with the increasing construction
of dry docks, launching ways, machine
shops and other naval plans. and in this
view Secretary Tracy does not feel war
ranted in allowing one of the senior en-
gineers, who has already been absent
under leave and pay for two years, to
absent himself for three years more at
public expense.

A PHYSICIAN SUICIDES.
Ill-HeaIth Drives a Doctor to TAX
ing His Life.

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Nov. 18.-Dr.
A. Howe Jr., son of A. A. Howe, 3 Oak
Grove street. Minneapolis, suicided by
shooting in room at Hotel Dakota at
o'clock this morning. The ball was
discharged from 38-calioer revolver
and entered the skull directly under
the right ear. Deceased came from
Minneapolis Wednesday evening to
enter partnership in dentistry
with DR.. o. B. Lundy. He had spent
much time perfecting himself in spe-
cialties of his profession. He was a
member of the Knights of Pythas and
and attended lodge meeting last night.
After lodge he went directly to the
hotel, arriving there at II O'Clock, ap-
parently in good spirits. He was en-
|. tering upon his work here with en-
thuSiasm, and it is supposed that an
impulse of dependency coming on, in
duced by ill health, caused him to COM
init the rash deed. He formerly prac-
ticed his profession in Grafton, n. D.,
and Baldwin. Wis. He was of a high
character, tWenty-siX years old. Word
was sent to his father.
The parents of the young man, whose
unfortunate death is announced in the
above telegram, reside i'll Minneapolis.
his father, A. Howe Sr., being the chief
engineer of the Consolidated Milling
company. The sad intelligence of the
tragic death of his son was conveyed to
Mr.. Howe in telegram received early
this morning, the shock being such as
to utterly PROSTATE both him and Mrs.
Howe. A reporter called at the fam
lily residence, No. 3 Oak Grove street,
yesteday afternoon. but inquiry from the
friends of the family III attendance re-
suited in no additional particulars of
the unhappy affair." Young Howe was
in that city last Tuesday, but at that
time was en- route for Grand Forks, and
he appeared to be especially well
pleased over his great business affilia-
ton. he has, however, been in poor
health for several years, and the only
motive for the act is described to
dependency supernduced by his physi-
cal cOnditisn. He was born and raised
in Red Wing, this state, where he has
large number of friends and the esteem
ofa the entire community. He was an
exceedingly bright young man, and had
a students devotion TO his profession.
Recently he has been nervous and dis
contented over his health, appearing to
brood great deal over his condition.
He was tWenty-three years old, an only
child, and was fairly idolized by his
parents. The remains will be brought
here for interment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1S.-The will

About by an "Ad."
DULUTH, Nov. 18.-Jacob Zimmer-
man and Frank Seitz. two hard-work-
ing, respectable German homesteaders
near Tower, are each bereft of wife
under peculiar circumstances. Jacob
advertised in matrimonial paper for a
wife. and comely German matron put
in her appearance and they were quick
Iy married. A few days later another
woman arrived FROM Iowa in response
to the "ad," and Jacob turned her over
to his friend. Four weeks ago Sietz
and Miss Minnie Kieth were married i'll
Tower. Then came the denouement.
Zimmerman unguardedly told his Young
bride he had wife in the old country,
and she Indignantly left him. About
the same time the Sheriff OF Sto rry
county, To-, arrived in search of the
woman who married Sietz and she, went
with him. 1t appears that she deserted
a husband and three children in Iowa.

These figure are not accurate, but are
nearly correct, and will not be changed
more than few hundred either way.
In the figures given tor the Republican,
Democratic, fusion and Weaver votes
10 rule seems to have been followed.
In most cases the vote of Prof. Carlson,
the highest elect0r on the Republican
ticket, has been given as the Harrison
vote, and the same rule has
been followed as to the Demo
cratic, fusion and Weaver figures. In
some counties, however, the vote cast
for tie electoral candidates of each OF
the parties has been averaged. The Of
ticiai returns will show that Meighen
and Stromberg, of the fusion electors,
ana Hon. Il. A. Smith, of the five Cleve-
land candidates, have given the Repub-
lican tail-enders a very close race. The
official returns of Ramsey county
show that eX Mayor Smith re-
celved 12,SH votes, while the
lowest man of the Cleveland
electors polled 1l,S7O, Smith running
g47 votes ahead. The highest man on
the Republican ticket, Prof. Carlson,
received IL, ,307 votes. while the lowest,
w. E. Culkin, received only l0,5l1, a
difference Of 196 oteS againStthe latter.
This failure to mark the full electoral
ticket seems to nave prevailed all over
the state-that it was an error in
nearly all cases is certain, FOR
no Que would think of casting
one-ninth or two-ninths of vote for
Harrison or Cleveland, giving the re-
naming fraction TO the opposition III
the way of mplimentary votes.
These returns shaw another curious
thing. 1t is that of about 5000 voters
after voting for one or more electors
neglected to vote for a candidate
for governor, and the returns on
the other candidate will show
that the farther down the ticket candi-
dates name appeared the fewer votes
he received.
AS has been stated, these figures are
not official and vary, and probably will
be changed to a certain extent by the
official count. The returns by counties
appear below:
