THINK HIM A SUICIDE
JOHN NYGAARD'S WIFE BELIEVES
He CARRIED OUT THREAT
Crippled City Hall Janitor, Dismissed
for Unpoiitic Remark, Has Been
Missing Three Weeks-Leaves Fam
lily in Straitened Circumstances, but
Woman Scouts Elopement Theory.

IF lose my job might just as we'll
buy a piece of rope" was the signifi-
cant remark said to have been made by
John Nygaard, the court house janitor
who was discharged because he was
overheard to say that Aid. Matthew
Bantz was the only Democratic nomi-
nee that he had voted for at the last
municipal election. Three weeks have
elapsed since Nygaard was fired" and
during that time his whereabouts has
become deep mystery.
Nygaard is believed to have COM
mitted suicide. He was a cripple and
suffered from hip disease. He always
used the street cars when he had any
distance to go, and so far as it is
known he didn't have a cent the day he
disappeared. He left his wife and lit
tie son, who reside at 1909 Albemarle
street, without any means of support
except garden in his back yard.
Wife Believes Him Dead.
Mrs. Nygaard, who has been thrown
upon her own resources with a child to
provide for, cannot account for her
husbands disappearance.
Someone told me that he ran away
with another woman" Mrs. Nygaard
said. her eyes filling with tears. II
don't believe it, because he never cared
for anybody but me, and then why
should woman want to elope with my
husband. He didn't have a cent, didn't
have a job, and he is fifty-one years
old. Oh, that is all nonsense.
II guess he is dead.
81 wish he would come back and pro-
vide for US. l can't work out and
haven't had to in all the twenty-si
years we were married. We had eight
children, and six died, but nothing wor-
ried my husband so much as the
thought Of losing his job at the court
house.
He was cripple and unable to do
any hard work. He was contented
with his position at the court house
and made enough to keep the wolf
from the door. Now he is gone-well, I
guess we will Starve.''
Threatens to End His Life.
Aid. Bantz, who secured Nygaard his
job as janitor in the court house, said
that he had not seen him since he was
let out
'Nygaard came into my place of
business a few days before he was dis
charged and said that if he lost his po-
sition he might just as well buy a
piece Of rope. 1 told him not to get
discouraged and that I would do all I
could to help him out of his difficulties,
and if he was discharged would get
him another job.
"He said that his hip was growing
worse and that he couldn't do any hard
work. 1 wouldn't be bit surprised if
Nygaard committed suicide"
The police have been asked to search
for Nygaard.

CHILDREN ARESLOW
In GETTING TO SCHOOL
Opening Enrolment Does Not Show
Strength of Third Week of
Last Year.

Z y
The enrolment In the st. Paul pub
lie schools for Monday reached Supt.
Smith yesterday. 81
The total for the first day was 20,-
$50, as against $4,000 on Sept. 80 last
year. The decrease is explained ~
Supt. Smith on the ground that the
first day does not give the correct fig
ures, as many of the children are not
enrolled until a day or so after the
opening Of the schools
'There is no doubt" said Supt.
Smith, "that the enrolment in the sew
eral schools will after the first week
show an increase of at least 1000 over
the figures of last year. In some Of
the school districts there has been a
slight falling off owing to the open
ing of a number of parochial schools.
In the Sixth ward two new parochial
schools have been opened, ann in the
Eighth ward three have thrown open
their DOORS"
In the new Mound Park school in the
Second ward, which was opened for
the first time Monday, the enrolment
was 34S, and this increased on Tues
day and yesterday.

JOHN M'CLUSKY, ALLEGED
PickPOckET, Is RELEASED
Judge Otis Laughs at Evidence on
Which Magistrate Hoyt Held Man.

The evidence that influenced Justice
Lorenzo Hoyt in holding John Nc
Clusky for trial on the charge of pick
ing pockets preferred by special Of
ficer made Judge Otis laugh during
the hearing Of the application for
writ of habeas corpus The court
granted the writ and directed Sheriff
Justus to discharge the petitioner.
During the review of the evidence
upon which McClusky was held by
Justice Hoyt it developed that Nc
Ciusky boarded street car at the fair
grounds and few minutes later was
commanded by the conductor to take
his hand out of a passengers pocket.
Clinton S. Colledge, a special police
man, was on the car at the time and
placed McClusky under arrest. Judge
Otis said that there was no evidence
that an offense had been committed,
and so ordered the discharge OF the
prisoner.

PREPARES FOR TESTIMONY.
U. S. Special Commissioners Takes Up
Northern Securities Case.

F. G. Ingersoll, special commissioner
to take the testimony in the Northern
Securities case, will commence work
Monday. In the taking of the testi-
mony, 1t is understood the government
will be represented by Solicitor General
Richards, and the company will be rep
resented by F. B. Kellogg ana G. w.
Bum. The special commissioners will
simply report the testimony with any
objections that may be made by the at
torneys. He will make no rulings in
the case, but merely report his findings
to the United States court.
In the suit now pending before Judge
Lochren, the states attorneys will have
until the first of October to file their
reply to the answer of the railroad
companies, but they will probably file
it before then, though no date has yet
been fixed.

"The primary election law does not
require blank spaces to be left on the
primary election ballots. The law so
construed is constitutional. Therefore
it is ordered that the application to
correct the ballots in the case is denied
and the order to show cause is dis
missed"
The supreme court handed down this
order yesterday afternoon in the case
of the State of Minnesota ex rel. VS..
r. L. Johnson, auditor Of Mower
county.
Previous to the fling Of the decision
a report was circulated that the court
had held the primary election to be n
constitutional, and for an hour or so
there was the liveliest kind of excite
ment among the politicians and can
didates for office. The report was a
canard, as the order filed later shows.
Text of the Decision.
The order by the court was as fol-
lows:
Upon the affidavit of relator alleg-
ing that certain errors had been COM
mitted by the respondent in making
up the official ballots for the primary
election to be held in the county of
Mower Sept. 16, 1902, an order. was
made by a justice of this court requir-
ing the respondent to correct such err
ror or show cause before the court
why he should not do so.
'"The respondent appeared on the re-
turn day of order and asked that it be
discharged for the reason that the ball
lots were made up as required by the
primary election law. This presents
the question whether, in making UP
the official ballot for the primary cleo
tion ballot blank spaces or lines must
be left after the names Of candidates
for each office for which candidates
are to be selected, wherein each elector
of party may write the names Of the
candidates of his choice.
mo such spaces were left in any of
ing the case, are the proposed ballots
in accordance with the requirements
Of the primary election law?
Formal Opinion Later.
"The necessity for prompt answer
to the question, to the end that the ball
lots may be printed and distributed in
time for the election, limits us, for the
present, to bare statement of our
conclusions, to be followed in due time
by formal opinion.
1--WE answer the question in the af-
firmative, for the primary election law
does not require such blank spaces to
be left in the primary ballots. The
law so construed is constitutional.
Therefore it is ordered that the appli-
cation to correct the ballots in this
case is denied and the order to show
cause dismissed"

PASSENGER Association object.

A report from Chicago stated that
the Western Passenger association
had decided that no more reduced rate
excursions would be given to the job
bers of the Twin Cities. Application
had been made by the merchants of
st. Paul and Minneapolis for six re-
duced rate excursions to those cities
in the territory within a radius of 200
miles. 1t is now said that the matter
has not been before the Western Pas
senger association, and that the ex-
cursions have not been discontinued.

of the county authorities, who had him
examined for his sanity in Judge Ba-
zille's court, where he was found in
sane and sent to Rochester for treat
ment.
Vaughn developed bad habit, while
an inmate of the Little Sisters of the
Poor, of jerking the bed clothes off of
the inmates while they were asleep. He
was too feeble to walk, so he crawled
from room to room. Vaughn is ninety
years old, and was broaght to ST. Paul

We're going fishing mighty soon. We
advise all others engaged in business
where husky, strenuous lying is neces-
sary to do likewise.
Fishing trips furnish the grandest
training for lying contests that we
know of. Each trip is good for the
loss of at least fifteen pounds of SUPER
f1uous conscientious scruples, says the
Chicago Journal.
We get such good start in lying
couldn't stop ourselves for the rest of
the year, even if we wanted to.
Last year, for instance, we wore
out our new half-soles in getting rail-
road transportation, paid an Indian

An Optimistic Temperament.

An Optimistic Temperament.
II a woman wants to retain her
youthful appearance she must mingle
with other people, read good books
and cultivate an optimistic tempera-
ment. Nothing so destroys the youth
full contour of the face as taking the
cares of life too seriously. House
wives Of the Martha type who "are
troubled about many things" have
rigid, set lips that plainly reveal the
loss of those qualities that make a
woman lovable. When our characters
lack cheerfulness and amiability our
feathers will unconsciously lose those
soft curves which are the outward
signs of inward beauty of thought and
feeling, says Julia Teresa Butler in
the Pittsburg Observer. The best
workers, the ones who accomplish the
most good, are those whose useful.
ness is conductive of much happiness
to others as well as themselves. The
secret of true success lies in making
our lives beautiful in that kindness of
spirit which makes US creatures of
purer mould.
