Joseph Acare, barber, whose true
name is Joseph Harper, committed
suicide yesterday afternoon at the 1au
do cottage. l07 Sixth street south, by
severing his windplpe with Jackknife.
The rash act was the result of despond
ency and the end or a drunken spree.
He was thirty-siX years old ana had
been in Minneapolis for number ar
years, working as barber at the west
hotel shop. with Joseph Half, i'll the
Oneida block, and. until last week. i'll
the Bank of Commerce shop. Ever
since he had been in this city, just about
so often, Harper had become unusually
Respondent and had gone off on spree.
deserving his work and freQuenting
saloons and gambling houses, which has
resulted in his ultimate discharge IN
every shop in which he had been en-
ployed.
Last week he was discharged from
the Bank of Commerce shop and started
on a drunk. and yesterday found hin
with his money all gone and few, If
any, friends. In the forenoon he did
not get up at breakfast time, neither
did he at dinner time, and, as he had
been out late Monday night. he was not
called until about 2:30, when Mr..
Crawford, proprietor of the house, went
up to Harper's room to call him. He
raped at the door and received
no response, but heard low. gurg,,
ling sound from within, and pushed
the door open. Harper was lying on the
floor, close to the door, his head in a
pool of blood and his throat cut almost
from ear to ear. while beside him lay
the big jackknife. which told Its own
story. Harper was still alive when Mr..
Crawford entered the room, and Drs.
Weston and Spring were at once sum
moned, but could do nothing, ana at
abont $50 Harper died. and his body
was removed to the county morgue by
Coroner Spring.

democrats and Populists Fail to
Make n Settlement.
The conference between the Demo.
cratic and POpulistic judicial commit
tees was held yesterday afternoon in
the New York life building. When
the meeting adjourned nothing had
been accomplished; in fact, it looks as
though the two committees will be I'M
able to bring about an amicable settle
ment of the difficulty. The Populists
demanded that the Democrats drop one
OF their nominees and give MIR. Coch-
rane chance to be Endorsed. They
did not specify any one man, but wanted
an opening, and stated they proposed to
have it, or declare all bets off.
Inc Democratic judicial committee
held that they could not drop one of the
regular nominees, for the reason they
were all nominated by regular con-
Vention. Unless some one of the nom-
lnees decided to withdraw from the
race OF his own accord, nothing could or
would be done.
1t was stated by several of the Popu-
lists after the meeting that there was a
possibility of another judicial conven-
ton being called for the purpose of
nominating straight Populist judicial
ticket. The gentlemen, however, had
no authority for making the statement,
and it is not likely it will be dene.

Simon Larson Secures q Divorce
From Her.
Simon Larson has enjoyed perpetual
picnic for some time past down on the
farm. He told Judge Jamison about it
yesterday. His wife Christina, he
stated, is too healthy for his blood. In
fact, Simon informed the court that he
could get along without her. He stated
that she had too much fun with him.
He is growing old. and objected to fur.
nishlng amusement for Christina. One
of his decided objections was to make a
circus out of himself and cavort all over
The BARNARD with Christina only few
feet behind. waving grub hoe in a
playful manner, and assuring him, in
her straightforward way, that there
would be miuce meat in their back
yard in minute. He also had the rheu-
matism, and sleeping i'll an old wagon
in the back yard, with the thermometer
at 10 above and Christina wondering
where he was. with a suspicious-looking
bread knife in her hand, was too much
sport tor him.
He did not object to cooking his own
meals, but when his spouse cantered IN
Just as he had prepared dinner. and
fired his good grub to the chickens.
allowing his digestive apparatus to
protest is desultory sort of manner, he
wouldn't play any longer. He stated
that he did not sleep very well in the
house. especially when Christina ar
rived at his chamber door one night with
an ak, and began removing the door for
the avowed purpose of getting near
enough to Simon to terminate his
earthly career. He objected to stop the
energetic movement of the AK with
his wishbone. Simon recalled the time
also when his love kicked about two
yards of stove pipe from the stove as he
was about to get his dinner. expressing
her thoughts in pure native profanity

Rather Gruesome Gossip

On Aug.f5 Cornelius Frogner was run
over and killed by a Great Northern
switch engine. in Northeast Minneapo-
lis. The body was horribly mangled
and the face crushed to pulp. Be-
cause OF this the body was buried in
Hillside cemetery and at the funeral
services the coffin was not opened. The
fact that none of his friends viewed the
remains previous to the interment led
number of them to indulge in gossip.
1t was stated that the body of Frogner
was not buried at all, but sold to college
physicians for the purpose of dissection.
The men who had charge of the inter-
ment have come out with a statement, in
which they certify that they placed
Frogner'S remains i'll casket, and had
charge of them until they were placed
in the grave at Hillside.

A Specific for BaIkiness.

The crowd had gathered about a
horse and buggy in the middle OF the
street. The horse had baked.
"Tie a string around his ear" ut
gives him something else to think Of.
| l never knew it to fail"
A string was produced and wound
tightly around one of the animals ears.
It had no effect.
"Blindfold him." suggested another.
| A bandage was tied over his eyes
and an effort made to start him. Same
result.
Back him."
He wont back,". said The exasper-
ated owner. II tried that"
"Try him with an ear Of corn.'i The
ear of corn failed to move the obst nate
horse.
"Pll see if can persuade him some
other way" said the eXasperated own
er of the animal. He took a whip and
belabored the beast with it until some
body threatened to have him arrested.
Then be kicked him awhile. All in
vain. Finally, benevolet-looking
old gentlemen forced his way through
the crowd, and said:
| II have seen great many balky
horses started by building fire under
them. Can you get some straw or
shavings?"
| A boy was sent to a neighboring
furniture store for some excelsior. He
came back presently with huge arm
full. It was placed on the ground un-
der the horse, and lighted match
touched to it.
AS the first feeble flame rose from it,
and smooke began to curl about his legs
the horse unbent little. He turned
his head, took a calm survey of the
situation, and, when the combustible
stuff burst into big blaze he moved
forward about six feet in full posses
sion of his faculties, and without any
unnecessary haste, and stopped again.

stuff.

And the horse moved down the street
