ANDREW BERG GOES INTO HIS
CELLAR AT HOME AND COMMITS
SUICIDE.
FIRED TWICE INTO HIS HEAD
AND HAD THE REVOLVER READY
TO LET ANOTHER BULLET
GO.
GLOOM IN A coMFoRTABLE HOME
No Reason Known for His Des;rin..
TO End His Existence-Beionged
to Sons OF Hermann.

Andrew Berg, fifty-seven years old.
residing at 2S6 Grove street, committed
suicide yesterday between the hours Of
1870 and o'clock by shooting himself
in the head. The suicide is a peculiar
one, as Berg had no evident reasons
for taking his life
Berg is married man and has six
children, five boys and one girl, four
of whom are employed in the city. Yes
terday afternoon while his wife was
absent from home he went into the
cellar and shot himself pointing the
revolver directly into his mouth. No
one was in the house at the time, and
the noise of the shot was not heard in
the neighborhood. Mrs. Berg returned
at O'Clock and descended into the
cellar to get coal. She found her hus--
band lying on the ground, blood ooz-
ing from his mouth and pistol
clutched in his right hand
The terrified wife rushed up stairs
and screamed for help. Officer Guerin
responded and after an investigation
summoned Coroner Whitcomb, who or
dered the body removed to the under
taking establishment of John A. Will
werscheid, 447 ST. Peter street. The
coroner does not consider an inquest
necessary, as he thinks there is no
doubt but that the unfortunate man
killed himself
The revolver which Berg used is an
old-fashioned one. The manufactur-
er's name is stamped on the barrel.
When found in Berg's hand two Of the
shells were empty and the trigger was
cooked, showing that Berg had not
died instantaneously but had prepared
for another shot. 1t is probable that
he emptied two bullets into his head.
The bullets did not pass through the
skull.
Berg's family are prostrated over the
deed. Mrs. Berg can give no reason
for her husbands act. She says that
he has been out of work for the last
two years. but the family were in com
Portable circumstances, as four of the
six children are working and earning
fair salaries. The family seemed to be
happy one prior to the death of the
father, and their home showed the ef-
fects of a woman's careful attention.
Andrew Berg was member of Lodge
No. II, Sons of Herman, Minneapolis.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been decided upon.

FRANCIS MAKING TROUBLE.
Secretary Not Satisfied With Work
of Timber Estimators.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-Secretary Of
the interior Francis Is stirring up mat
ters on the Chippewa reservation In
dian Inspector Wright has been sent to
the reservation for. the purpose Of ex-
amin1ng charges against lumber es-
timators who were recently laid off. 1t
is learned the Chief Inspector Douglass
has notified all discharged employees
that they will be called to explain the
charges and hearing is to take place
within few days. 1T is estimated that
the estimators in carrying out instruc-
tions from headquarters left a consid-
erable amount Of pine unestimated, and
1t now looks as if the entire work OH
the reservation SO far as it relates to
estimating the timber will be reviewed
by the department.

TEDDY HALE IN THE LEAD.
son OF ERIN SETTING THE PACE
FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
CRACKS.
EVENINGS WORK MOST SPIRITED.
COntesting Wheelmen Went out
After World Marks.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The great
throng that, until late last evening,
cheered the wheelmen in the six-day
international cycling contest now be-
ing held in Madison Square Garden
were repaid for their hardihood in fac
ing stiff wind and nasty mist,
which fell during the evening. When
the band began playing at o'clock, the
riding was most spirited. Teddy Hale,
the young son Of Erin, had just scored
his seven hundred and third mile and
Rice had 6S3 miles to his credit.
Sckock, during the hours between 6 and
o'clock, did some very fast riding.
Pierce, who had been sleeping between
and O'clock came on the floor re-
freshed and went to work in earnest
and soon jumped ahead of Elkes, and
1t soon became apparent that he in
tended to crawl ahead of some Of the
favorites.
For a long time before the galleries
began to assume an air of life, the
riders had been doing some fast riding
Little Taylor, the darkey, carried a
grin that was amusing, as he bent far
over his handle bars. Hale rode stead
lily and did not appear to exert him
self, as did Rice, who has been slowly
creeping along throughout the evening.
The riders later braced up smashing
worlds records. At midnight, the
score stood
Hale, 77O; Rice, .748; schoch. ia; Fors-
ter, 701; Reading, 701; Smith, 6S6; Tay-
lor, 683; Moore, 673; Pierce, 672; Ash
niger, .625; Maddox, 61S; Click, 599;
Elkes, 596; Cassidy, SIS; Cannon, $50;
Mcleod, 472.
The opening of the second twenty
four hours Of the race found the roll
of competitors sadly depleted Of the
original twenty-seVen entries, only
sixteen remained, and it is good bet
ting that less than half of this num-
ber will be in the race at the finish.
Hale, the Irishman, who had led yes
terday afternoon and broken record
after record, was fresh and hopeful of
success this morning. He took little
nap during the early morning, but
managed to add seventy-SiX miles to
his credit between 8 o'clock and 9. Ex-
perts at the Garden say, however, that
he will not last the six days, there
being nothing in his appearance, how
ever, this morning to warrant that as

money. He was within thirty-two
miles of the. leader at 9 o'clock, and

DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow

Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.
Common soda is all right in its place
and Indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it
was never intended for a medicine, and
people who use 1T as such will some
day regret it. 7b0
We refer to the common use of soda
to relieve heartburn or sour stomach,
a habit which thousands Of people
practice almost daily, and one which is
1Taught with danger; moreover the
soda only gives temporary relief and
in the end the stomach trouble gets
worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irri-
tant to the walls of the stomach and
bowels and cases are on record where
1t accumulated in the infestines, caus-
ing death by inflammation or peri
tonftis.
DR.. HarlandSon recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dySpepSia) an excellent prepara-
ton sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. These
tablets are large 20-grain lozenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the nat
ural acids, peptoneS, and digestive ele-
ments essential to good digestion, and
when taken after meals they digest the
food perfectly and promptly before it
has time to ferment, sour and poison
the blood and nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuar-t's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and
finds them certain cure not only for
sour stomach, but by promptly digest
ing the food they create a healthy ap-
petite, increase flesh and strengthen
the action of the: heart and liver. They
are not cathartic, but intended only
for stomach diseases and weakness and
will be found reliable in any stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.

Ex-SpealSer Crisp.
WASHINGTON, Dec. -8.-The> senate
settled down to business today, and
there were few evidences of the excite
ment of the opening session Of yester-
day. The attendance was small. When
a letter from the secretary of the
treasury was read, answering a senate
inquiry, as to the number Of aliens in
the treasury, Mr.. Gallinger (Rep., N.
H.) said that he was glad to observe
that the foreigners had seen fit. as a
result of the inquiry, to take out
naturalization papers. Many petitions
were presented from manufacturing
bodies, urging the passage Of the Ding
ley bill. The early opening of a
Cuban discussion was foreshadowed
by notice from Mr.. Cullom (Rep..
Ill) that ON Thursday next he would
address the senate on the Cuban ques-
ton.
The house resolutions relative to
the death of ex-Speaker Crisp were
then laid before the senate. Mr.. Ba-
con Dem, Ga.) stated that at a later
day he would ask that a day be set
for eulogies on the distinguished Georg-
ian. As a mark of respect to the de-
ceased, the senate at 1925 adjourned.
