KEY TO THE OTHER
WORLD
He Had Been Drinking, and COOIly
Announced to HIS Wife His In
tentiOn of Ending His Existence
Here.

John Jackson, a laborer, living at no
East Lawson street. ended his life yes
terday morning by taking ten grains of
morphine. The act was deliberate, with
the apparent full intention of suicide.
Deputy Coroner Ball investigated the
case and decided an inquest unnecessary.
For several days, it is said, Jackson
has been dissipating. He was about his
home Wednesday, but remained away
Wednesday night. Yesterday morning
he returned home in a somewhat dis
heveled condition, his clothing being COW
cred with dust and generally disarranged.
Later he went to a drugstore and pro-
cured the morphine, representing, 1t is
said, that he desired the drug to brace
him up. When he went back to the house
Jackson showed the powder to his wife
and told her he intended taking his life.
With this announcement he swallowed
the poison. For a time Mrs. Jackson be-
lteved her husband only intended to
frtghten her, but, becoming alarmed, she
summoned DR.. Earl By the time the
physician arrived Jackson was uncon-
scious. DR.. Earl worked over the man
for an hour. but could not overcome the
effects of the poison, and Jackson died
shortly after 10 o'clock. Jackson is said
to have frequently threatened to end his
life.
Jackson was Sc years of age. He leaves

WILL ENFORCE THE CONTRACT.
Board of Public Works UItimatum
to "a Paving Company.


The board of public works Yesterday
notified the Warren-Scharff Paving com
pany that the proposition to modify the
contract between the city and the COM
pany would not be entertained at the
present time. In 1898 Kent and Arundel
streets and Nina and Western avenues
were paved with asphalt The contract
Tor each street provided that at the end
Of the first ten years after the work was
completed the pavement should be put in
as good condition as when laid wear
ana tear of travel excepted, and then
accepted. For the second term of ten
years the contracts provided that 9 cents
per square yard per year be paid the
contractors for keeping the pavement in
repair. 1t IS this clause In the contract
! which the Warren-Scharff company wish
modified, and it has proposed to the
board of public works that the streets will
be placed in good condition, and the re-
| pair clause for the second ten years de-
clared void.
The pavement on the four streets laid
In 1888 aggregated about II 200 square
yards. The present board after inspecting
the streets decided that $3.50 square yards
or the paVements should be resurfaced
by the company before the streets could
be accepted. This was more resurfacing
than the company desired to make. and
there has been hitch in the matter
over this part
President Pottgieser stated Yesterday
that. the board would not consider any
mod1hcation of the contract for the sac-
ond period of ten years until the nave
ment on the four streets had been nut
In repair as provided for at the end of
the 11rst term Of ten years. The company
ne said had been notified to go ahead
and resurface the streets when the board
nad decided 1t was needed. The board
mas directed that the resurfacing on the
street be as follows: Kent street. O. 404S
square yards; Arundel street, 2164 square
yards; Western avenue S24 square yards;
Nina avenue, $50 square yards
The board decided to recommend q
flnal order for the paving with brick of
the alley in block 81, Woodland Park ad-
dltlon. The estimate of the city engineer
IS that the improvement would cost the
property owners $1.75 per front foot.
N. p. Langford filed an objection to the
Improvement citing a recent decision Of
the United States supreme court to the
erect that assessments made for i'm
proVements on frontage were not valid
MT. Longtord announced that he would
take the case to the supreme court In
case the Improvement was made, and an
assessment levied.
Adverse reports will be made on the
boulevardtng Of Victoria street from
Osceola to Marshall avenues, and for
a sewer on Frances street from Mendoza
to Forest.
Inc paving of Harrington avenue from
summit to Dayton was taken under con-
s1deratton by the board. The estimate
OF the city engineer is that 1t will cost
the property owners 1885 per front font.
Ioday the board will inspect the prop
erty to be taken for the proposed ex-
tension to Como park. The tract con-
s1sts of thirteen acres adjoining the

the party went to Cass- lake, and from
there to Duluth, where they were met by
Mayor Truelson, and given a tally no

+ From the East, Where She Is
4 Spending Her Vacation.
When Mrs. M. NJ. Martin, principal Of
the Murray school at ST. Anthony Park,
went away on her vacation she left her
home at 2157 Dooley avenue all in order.
If she should return unexpectedly today
she would find every room in the house
torn upside down, with the contents of
drawers and closets strewn about the
floor, while she would also doubtless dis
cover that some Of her property is miss
ing. For burglar went through the
house either Wednesday night or yester-
day and turned the place topsy, turvey.
The frame upon which Mrs. Martin kept
her sealskin cloak Is empty and the
neighbors think the burglar carried off
the garment. It Is possible, however,
that it was stored away down town for
the summer. Beyond this it is impossible
to tell what was stolen, but from the con-
dition of the rooms it appears that the
burglar searched the place thoroughly
and helped himself to everything that
commended itself to his fancy.
The robbery was discovered last even
ing, when a young man who looked after
the lawn found a window on the north
side of the house open. The lock had

he began a systematic search. Not a

Martin had some valuable solid silver,
ware and it is believed the burglar in,
cluded this in his booty. Us stairs every,
thing was tumbled from its place. The
beds were torn to pieces and the pockets
of clothing searched. In a store room in
the attic the burglar broke open several
trunks and boxes, undeterred by the
strong odor of moth balls, and piled the
contents on the floor What he took will

BISHOPS SECOND TRIAL.
Only Five Persons Secured for the
Jury So Far.

Only five jurors could be secured for
the second trial of Franklin c. Bishop,
on the charge Of selling liquor without a
license, yesterday, and the case went
over until July II. Bishop is alleged to
conduct a disorderly resort at 54S Wa
basha strete. He has been once tried on
this charge and also for selling LIQUOR
without a license, but in each case the
jury disagreed.
1t is this case that the police depart
ment has so strenuously endeavored to
win, as it is regarded as a practical test
of the administration policy of licensing
alleged disorderly resorts throughout the
city. Bishop refused to pay the assess
ment levied by the police and his arrest
followed.

Want the City to Repair Artesian
Well ON Fairfield Avenue.

Well ON Fairfield Avenue.
Considerable criticism is being leveled
at the city engineer by residents In the
vicinity of South Wabasha street and
Fairfield avenue, as well as by farmers
driving to the city by way of the West
side. The cause of the comment is the
fact that an artesian well, under the
maintenance of the city, at South Waba-
sha and Fairfield avenue. is said to be
allowed to remain unrepaired and use
less, in the face, of the fact. 1t is claimed,
that the city engineers attention has
several times been called to the condition
of the well.
The poorer residents of the vicinity de-
pend in summer almost entirely on this
well for their water supply There is
also a horse trough in connection with
the well, much used by farmers. A week
ago some one hitched a horse to one of
the we'll pipes and the pipe was broken.
Since then the water has been turned
into the sewer. so that it is going to
waste, while many need the supply 1t
is said that the damage to the pipe could
be repaired in half an hour.
