DUE TO FAMILY TROUBLES
Prominent Resident of St. Paul Ends
His Life.

Ross Clarke, aged fifty-three prom
inent in business and political cir
cles at ST. Paul, committed suicide by
taking carbolic acid at his summer
home at White Bear lake. Mr.. Clarke
apparently had been dead for couple
of days when the body was found, his
wife and son having left for Fond du
Lac, Wis, Friday following a family
quarrel and Mr.. Clarke was alone in
the cottage when he swallowed the
fatal dose. Mrs. Clarke was known by
friends of the family to have been
extremely jealous Of her husband and
to have accused him of misconduct.
The accusations were without founda-
ton, friends of the dead man say, but
the fact that his wife distrusted him
and that his son had turned against
him preyed heavily on Clarke's mind
and this is believed to be the sole rea-
son for his self-destructiOn.

F. H. Michigan, first vice president

Mr.. McGuigan's sudden resignation.
Mr.. McGuigan came to ST. Paul in
April to become vice president of the

start an undercurrent of antagonism
was manifest between him and Mr..
Hill. Gradually the feeling became
more and more personal until finally
Mr.. McGuigan decided to resign.
Mr.. McGuigan was formerly fourth

eleven years, with headquarters at

DOUBLE MURDER SUSPECTED
Two Men Found Dead in Different
Sections of Minneapolis.

Unknown murderers killed two men
In Minneapolis early Sunday morning,
evidently for their money.
The crime was not discovered until
late Sunday afternoon, although the
body of one victim was found on the
railroad tracks in the morning, where
it had been placed by the murderers.
The lifeless body of Andrew Bjerk-
lund, 251S Eighth street south, was
first found, terribly mutilated, under
the wheels of freight car on the
side track of the Minneapolis and
Western railway at the foot of Twelfth
avenue south. Trainmen discovered
the body and as it was supposed that
the man had been the victim of an ac-
cident no particular investigation was
attempted.
About 5: 80 in the afternoon a col
ored man walking through a patch of
weeds at the foot Of Twelfth ave, near
First street, discovered the body of
the second man, who has not yet been
Identified An examination disclosed
the fact that the man had died from
bullet wound in the head.
The discovery Of the second man,
who beyond doubt had been murdered,
caused further investigation into the
death of the first victim Bjerklund' S
head was found to be crushed as
though he had been struck with some
heavy and blunt instrument. The
wound would in itself have caused
death or Inconsistencies and it is be-
1ieved his body was then placed on
the tracks in an effort to hide the
crime and the real cause of death.

COUNT GERMS IN MILK.
Mankato Accepts Bacterial Standard

The state board of health has been
notified that the city of Mankato has
adopted a bacterial standard for it's
milk supply. Mankato is believed to
be the first city in the state to protect
it's milk consumers in this way.
The standard adopted is the same as
that of Boston and is berry liberal 1t
allows not more than 100000 bacteria
to the cubic centimeter That means
about 100000 to the teaspoonful.
The best milk has much less, but dirty
milk has many times more.
The bacterial count will be made
for Mankato at the laboratory of the

BULL SENTIMENT
 CAUSES DISTRUST Misuse of Banking Resources
 In Gambling Brings Revolt OUTLOOK STILL GLOOMY
Great Confusion Exists As to Pros- poets for Better Industrial and Business Aetlvity-MercantiIe
 Depression Is Expected.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, December 14.-(Special.) The inopportune bulge in the stock market checked investment buying and has engendered a feeling of distrust as to the genuineness of bull senti- ment in Wall street The misuse of banking resources for speculation in stocks was followed by a general and emphatic revolt on the part of the bus mess community and there came a re- flection of the same protest from Washington. It was made known to the banking interests that the treas ury looked with disfavor upon Wall street activity at this time, following so close on the heels of extraordinary governmental efforts for relief from financial constriction.
 still, small voice of warning was heard and Wall street was admonishe ed that it was in extremely bad taste to use the money and credit advanced by the government to stimplate, and encourage stock gambling. The hint was broadly given that 1t would be the part of wisdom for the New York banks to retire their $100, 1000, 900 or so clearing house certificates before turn ing their real money into the stock gamble. Bluntly stated, the admoni- ton was to sober up and not to pro- long the drunk with money obtained under stress sort of compulsory loan on the credit of the government
 Not that many stocks are not dirt cheap at current quotations, but con- seryative sentiment Is at this time strongly opposed to Artificial efforts to mark up prices for apparently the only purpose of enabling overloaded banks and trust companies to shove out se- curities held by them as collateral on loans, and for window dressing that insurance companies and other insti- tutions might make favorable end of the year reports of condition. The programme mapped out weeks ago was to give the market such support as might be necessary to prevent panicky slumps, but to discourage speculative expansion. The unwise bull movement around the first of the month was a departure from this plan and the re- suit has been unfortunate.
 It has filled the public mind with open dfstrust and has seemingly post poned the time for a healthy begin ming of permanent improvement. A genuine bull campaign cannot be en- gineered on clearing house certificates described previously in this column as an issue of currency based on the equities in unredeemed pawn tick cts (unpaid collateral in the hands of banks).
