When her sister boarded the train
the young ticket agent began to col

finished doing this when the two men
returned.
Finding the girl alone at the station,
they again demanded admission TO the

this time to let them in. AS they en-

s.Our New Minister Slated for a
Return Date Late in

Lovers of the melodramatic saw
'At Cripple Creek" for the frst time
at the Opera House Sunday evening.
The attendance was fairly good and
so was the performance. Mingled
with the customary amount of shoot
ing that goes with a western play there
was no inconsiderable amount of
comedy, aud the two combined seemed
to tickle the audience immensely.
Most OF the players were young people
who have been doing summer work at
the Lyceum in Minneapolis, but they
acquitted themselves creditably under
the circumstances and surroundings.
'iThe Sweetest Girl in Dixie" comes
to the Turner Theatre next Sunday
evening, Sept. 9Th.
Many plays have been written about
the South, but ssThe Sweetest Girl in
Dixie" may be fttingly placed at the
head of all those whose object it is to
present true picture of the life of
Southern aristocracy. In fact few
plays before the public today have
met with such distinct success. The
story is a strong one, yet simply and
directly told, and there are no impos-
sible situations and none Of those fea-
lures which cause an audience to go
away dissatisfied. Enid Jackson in
the role of "Bobbie" is herself a
beautiful woman and fills the part to
perfection. Her portrayal of the
sweet, but difficult role, can really be
said to be a triumph.

SUICIDES IN LOUISVILLE, Ky.
New Ulm Flour Salesman Ends
His Own Life in Watterson's
Town.
Had Wandered Away From St.
Paul in Drunken Stupor Over
Week Ago.
OnComing To He Preferred Shoot.
ing Himself to Facing His
Employers.

C. H. De Wolf, special salesman
in st. Paul for the Eagle Roller Mill
Co. of this city, committed suicide last
week in Louisville, Kentucky.
Mr.. De Wolf camehere from Chicago
on the 18th of August and at that time
made arrangements to become the
mills special representative IN the
Capitol city. For over year and
half he had worked for the company
in Chicago and it was not known at
any time by his employers that ne was
addicted to bad habits. Since the
tragedy, however, it has developed
that he was accustomed frequently to
90 on what are known as periodical
sprees.
On the 10th De Wolf went from New
JJlm to st. Paul and started to work.
For over week he made daily
visits to the mills customers and job
hers and at the home Office it was get
ting to be thought that in securing De
Wolf the company had landed pretty
good man.
The daily visits soon ceased, how
ever, and the jobbers began to inquire
what had become of De Wolf. An in
vestigation being started, it was
quickly learned that the salesman had
left his departments at the Jewell
hotel on the morning of the 18th and
had not returned. His personal be-
longings were there and there was
nothing to indicate that he did not in
tend to return. but somehow his con-
tinued absence became alarming. The
police ascertained that he had been on
a. spree, but nowhere throughout the
CITY could they find him. Inquiry at
his old haunts in Chicago was equally
fruitless. Finally word came Satur-
day evening that a man by the name
of De Wolf had shot himself on re-
covering from prolonged spree IN
Louisville, KY.
The Indiana representative OF the
mill company happened to be IN
Louisville and he was instructed to
investigate. He did so and at once
notified his employers that he hao
identified the body of the suicide as
that of their agent, G. 81. De Wolf:
At the mill Office it was learned thai
De Wolf had recently lost his wife ano
son and also brother, and it is
thought that dependency over these
Affections may have brought on The
spree which resulted in his death.
No irregularity was found in his &C
counts, but the shame of meeting EN-
ployers whose confidence he hae
abused was evidently too much fo1
him.

HIS CONSCIENCE BOTHERED HIM
Nicollet County Farmer Makes Good
on 0yercharSe After Lapse
Of Forty Years.

In the early days of St. Peter one of
it's most prominent citizens was VIM.
Schimmel. He was wheat buyer and
did an enormous business.
Last week a farmer residing near
st. Peter called on one Of the towns
older merchants, man who had been
an intimate friend and associate of
Vim. Schimmel, and explained to him
that in 1865 the wheat buyer had over
paid him $45 on a load of grain.
When the transaction was made, he
went on to say, he was in rather
strai ghtened circumstances. His farm
was heavily mortgaged and he felt no
compunctions over taking advantage
of Mr.. Schimmel's mistake.
Of late, however, the deal has been
worrying him and it was for that rea-
son that he had looked up the st. Peter
merchant with the determined purpose
of finding Mr.. Schimmel or his rela-
tives aud making restitution.
Schimmel was dead, he learned, but
one of the heirs was discovered in Min
neapolis and to him the farmer imme-
diately mailed check for the princi-
pal and interest.
