BUDGET FROM ST.. CLAIR.
Base Ball Fans Lining Up For the
Coming Season.

With the advent of spring, among
other revivals is that of the base ball
team which enjoyed so successful a sea-
son last year as to win general applause
even from distant points of the state
Manager Nesbit has already "got busy"
with the result that an amount suffici-
ent to procure the use of large field
has been secured. Consequently the local
fans are jubilant over prospects. Mon.
day, April 4th, a meeting of the St.
Clair Smith Mills enthusiasts will be
held and it is expected that the success
of the 1904 team will date therefrom.
According to the best advices the line
up will be as follows: Rouchert, c.;
circuit, p; Bestman, b.; Stokes, 3D.;
]. Shepherd, 3D.; Gilfllan, s. s.; Buske,
]. f.; Liffler, T. f.; Cords, C. f.; F. Shep-
herd, utility man.
Robert H. Brown, principal of the
Vernon Center school, and wife, are
spending their spring vacation at the
home of the parents of the latter, Mr..
and Mrs. M. B. Rasdall. The announce
ment of his candidacy for the Republi
can nomination for county superintend-
ent of schools, brings Mr.. Brown many
wishes of success from st. Clair friends,
who much appreciated his services for
the local school, during his principal
ship.
This is vacation week for st. Clair's
school. Mr.. Dan Setchfeld, has just
finished his marking of the state exami-
nation papers. His assistants, the Misses
Freeman, Odjard and Murphy, are rest
ing at their respective homes-Cannon
Falls, Mankato and Anoka.
Interest is being manifested in the
work of the Mankato Congregational
church in this neighborhood. Through its
representative, E. Dudley Parsons, it is
trying to afford as many as possible of
the rural districts the privilege of
an English Evangelical service, and to
develop permanent care for. things re-
ligious among those not otherwise
reached. Mr.. Parsons residing here,
speaks each Sunday evening. Alternate
Sunday mornings and afternoons he is
engaged in Decoria townships. If posi-
BILE he will also work in the country
south of st. Clair.
The churches will recognize the spirit
of Easter by fitting exercises apart from
the regular services. At the Congrega
tional church, the Sabbath school chill
dren, led by the choir, will sing Easter
choruses prior to the sermon. The
Lutheran and Catholic choirs have spec
tally prepared music for their respective
services.
Grant Rasdall, student in the Yer
non Center school, is visiting at home

no difference in the ability to hear be-
tween local points and between st. Clair
and Mankato.

quarters that there is basis for the
rumor that the Maple Leaf will take

ents were exchanged between them.
Afterward, Walsh assisted in cleaning
up the dishes and while leaning over the
stove, Maby came up behind him and
slipped an old revolver IN mis- nip peck
ct. Walsh took it out and examined it,
while Maby had gone to one corner OF
the room preparing to retire. He snap
ped the trigger and the bullet entered
the corner of Maby's left eye and death
was almost instantaneous.
Walsh Immediately came to st. James
and gave himself up.
The Maby family has resider at Alma
City for some time, and is large one.
Several brothers and sisters of the de-
ceased are living there.

HE COMMITTED SUICIDE
A Farmer Named Christensen Ends
His Troubles.
His Mind Is Believed to Have Been
Unbalanced.
Said to Have Threatened to Kill His
Wife, Also.
Deed Occurred on Farm in Waseca
County.
From Thursdays Daily.


An old gentleman named Christensen
committed suicide in the township of
Vivian, Waseca county, just across the
line from Blue Earth county. He shot
himself Monday, but fingered along I'M
til the next day, when he died.
The circumstances of the suicide are
not known in this city, but it is thought
that his mind had become unbalanced
from poor crops the past two years. He
had acted so gruffly toward his sons
that they had left home, and he blamed
his wife for their leaving. She was final
ly obliged to leave him, and came to this
city short time ago and remained with
her daughter, Mrs. Albert Roos, who re-
sides on North Broad street. Her hus-
band came to the city last week and
tried persuade her to return with him
to the farm, but she refused to do 30,
being afraid of him. He was pleasant
while talking with her, but after he had
gone, Mr.. Roos was informed that he
had made threats to shoot his wife and
himself. 1t is said that he even pur-
chased gun in this city, before return
ing home.
Christensen was alone when he shot
himself, but he was discovered the next
morning. Upon learning of his death
Yesterday Mrs Christensen and ono of
her daughters went out to the farm to
arrange for the funeral.
Mrs. Christensen is very pleasant
lady, and great deal of sympathy is
felt for her. The family are old residents
of the neighborhood, and are highly re-
spected.
1t is expected that more details of the
sad affair will be received in few days.
